In Lunatic Guan's chip, there was a detailed description of Withering Heart. It was so detailed that Ye Chong had once thought that this alchemy ingredient was the result of Lunatic Guan's research. That was why Ye Chong noticed the first whiff of Withering Heart.
Inhaling even a tiny amount of Withering Heart without warning could lead to serious consequences. Ye Chong was very familiar with Withering Heart, and naturally knew what the consequences were.
In the instant that his life was in danger, Ye Chong reacted, and acted.
Ye Chong was not actually too angry. This kind of thing could be said to be a common occurrence for him. On the contrary, he was calm now. He was more concerned about the woman's motive for attacking him. He had learned his lesson from his past experiences of killing people, and had learned to think. Besides, this woman was probably from May's Night Ridge. It was not that he was afraid of May's Night Ridge. It was just that Lunatic Guan had asked him to go to May's Night Ridge, and he had to be cautious.
In the past, he would have killed the woman who ambushed him without hesitation. However, despite all these reasons, Ye Chong did not mind giving her a little punishment.
The murderous voice floated in the air, causing everyone's heart to involuntarily shiver!
"You … You …" Shi Mingbei's teeth chattered, and she could not speak. She was afraid. She had never been afraid of anything, but now that she was facing death, she was afraid!
"Kid, what's so great about bullying a woman?" The man's voice was still loud, but Ye Chong could hear the fear in his words. The man was obviously afraid.
However, Ye Chong did not pay much attention to him. His attention was focused on the woman who had ambushed him.
"How dare you!" A deep voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
Suddenly, Ye Chong felt a sense of danger. Without hesitation, he tiptoed and dodged to the side.
Sizzle!
About half a meter away from where he was standing, green smoke rose from the ground, and a pungent stench wafted towards him. A small puddle of green water was sizzling and corroding the ground. The corroded ground was charred black, and the green smoke was rising from there.
Such a strong corrosive property, even comparable to the Death Water!
Ye Chong was shocked.
A middle-aged man with a dark expression looked at Ye Chong coldly. He was wearing an old brown shirt, and Ye Chong could see that it was full of sewing marks. His slightly sunken cheeks made the middle-aged man look even sharper.
Ye Chong did not make a move. It was obvious that this was just a warning. Otherwise, the target of the corrosive green liquid would not be the half a meter away from him, but himself.
When Guan Qingheng saw this middle-aged man, his expression immediately turned solemn.
The middle-aged man took a look at Ye Chong, and walked straight to Shi Mingbei's side. He squatted down and examined her, and spoke to himself, "Hmm, comminuted fracture. Cure rate, 70%."
When Shi Mingbei first saw the middle-aged man, she was like a docile kitten, and the nervousness on her face immediately lessened.
"What's going on?" The middle-aged man straightened up and asked calmly. However, both Guan Qingheng and Shi Mingbei kept quiet out of fear.
"Who are you?" Ye Chong stared at the middle-aged man who appeared out of nowhere. The middle-aged man had a unique air about him that Ye Chong was very familiar with. He had sensed it from Lunatic Guan before. It was a sense of danger to Ye Chong.
The middle-aged man turned around and studied Ye Chong from head to toe.
His eyes were sharp! Ye Chong did not expect an alchemist to have such sharp eyes.
"You hurt her?" The middle-aged man's voice was so cold that even an idiot could hear it.
After the middle-aged man came out, the surrounding onlookers all disappeared in an extremely short period of time. Even the bold man who had yelled at Ye Chong earlier ran away like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw the middle-aged man.
"Yes." Ye Chong's answer was short and direct. However, he was ready to attack at any time. His muscles were ready to move at any time. The September Lan Family's techniques were truly brought to life in his hands. Ye Chong's control of his muscles had reached the pinnacle, and his explosive power was astonishing.
To Ye Chong's surprise … The middle-aged man did not attack. Instead, he looked at Ye Chong and asked expressionlessly, "Why did you hurt her?"
The middle-aged man was very different from Lunatic Guan. One was serious and rigid, the other lazy and carefree. Logically speaking, the two were completely different, but Ye Chong could not help but think of Lunatic Guan when he looked at the middle-aged man. She was the teacher who had introduced him to alchemy.
"Self-defense!" Ye Chong's answer was as simple as ever. This answer was clearly out of the middle-aged man's expectations, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. This trace of surprise flashed past, and then he returned to his original expressionless face.
He turned around and asked, "You two, tell me what's going on." His calm voice revealed a sense of dignity that could not be disobeyed.
Guan Qingheng felt his scalp prickle when he saw the middle-aged man's eyes, but he had no choice but to explain everything.
When he heard that Guan Qingheng wanted Ye Chong to go to May's Night Ridge, he looked up at Ye Chong, and Ye Chong saw a flash of surprise in his eyes. When he heard that Guan Qingheng wanted Ye Chong to go to May's Night Ridge, the middle-aged man looked up at Ye Chong calmly.
Ye Chong was not afraid, and looked at the man calmly.
When he heard that Ye Chong could sense Twisting Heart, the middle-aged man's expression turned serious.
After listening to Guan Qingheng, the middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "You said you're going to May's Night Ridge?"
"Yes." Ye Chong nodded.
"Why are you going to May's Night Ridge?" The middle-aged man continued to ask. He was not a curious person, but this made him very curious. He believed that he was a good judge of character. The young man before him was a calm person, the kind who would not attack for no reason. He must have a good reason for coming to May's Night Ridge. More importantly, the young man said that his teacher had sent him. This puzzled the middle-aged man. Any alchemist would know the rules of May's Night Ridge. If this young man could sense Twisting Heart, how could he not know the rules? Besides, he was curious how Ye Chong knew about Twisting Heart.
As expected, Ye Chong answered, "My teacher asked me to go to May's Night Ridge. That's her hometown." Lunatic Guan did not ask him what he was going to do at May's Night Ridge, so he could only answer as such.
"Ah!" The three of them cried out involuntarily at the same time. Even Shi Mingbei, who was injured, couldn't help but cry out.
"Who is your teacher?" The middle-aged man looked serious as he stared at Ye Chong.
Guan Qingheng's face was flushed, and his breathing quickened. Surname Guan … Teacher … Hometown. Looking at the calm young man, these words flashed through his mind. The bold idea in his mind made him shudder!
"Her surname is Guan!" Ye Chong replied. He did not know Lunatic Guan's real name. Guan Qingheng's breathing quickened as he swallowed hard, looking very nervous.
"Guan?" The middle-aged man looked thoughtful. Suddenly, his pupils dilated, and he looked up at Ye Chong with a strange look in his eyes.
After half a minute, the middle-aged man spoke with difficulty, "Is your teacher a woman?"
"Yes!" Ye Chong nodded calmly.
"Ah!" Guan Qingheng could not help but gasp in surprise, unable to contain his excitement. He could already guess who Ye Chong's teacher might be.
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Chong with a conflicted expression and said, "I think I know who she is. I will report this to the Ridge Council, and the final decision will be made by them. However, before the final decision is made, you cannot enter May's Night Ridge. " He turned to Guan Qingheng and said, "You will temporarily be relieved of your position as deputy leader of the purchasing department. Bring this young man to a villa in the outer ridge and stay there for the time being. You will be in charge of receiving him, and wait for the Ridge Council's decision." His voice was authoritative, and he spoke to Guan Qingheng like a subordinate.
"Yes sir!" Guan Qingheng agreed quickly, looking very pleased. He looked at Ye Chong like he was some kind of rare treasure, his eyes gleaming. Even someone as calm as Ye Chong could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. He did not understand why the middle-aged man would react this way.
"Come back with me," the middle-aged man said to Shi Mingbei. "Yes sir." Shi Mingbei lowered her head and replied obediently. However, Ye Chong saw the hatred in her eyes the moment she lowered her head. However, when she looked up again, her pale face showed only the meekness she was trying to maintain.
"Wait!" Ye Chong said coldly. The middle-aged man, who was about to leave, turned back and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
Ye Chong met the middle-aged man's gaze fearlessly, and asked a question that surprised everyone, "What proof do you have that you're from May's Night Ridge?"
