"That person wore a big bamboo hat, and no one can see what he looks like. It seems that even Third Young Master himself doesn't know what that person looks like." Master Yang said.
"Oh, even Kong Yang himself doesn't know?" Second Young Master Kong Li couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Master Yang nodded heavily, and then said, "So, I think there's something wrong with that person. If Second Young Master goes to investigate, you will definitely find something wrong!"
"Second Young Master, I heard that Young Master Zhou Han of Yongjiang City's Zhou Clan came to look for Third Young Master. This person wearing a bamboo hat should be brought here by Young Master Zhou Han."
"En." Kong Li nodded, then looked at Master Yang and asked, "What else do you know?"
"I don't know." Master Yang shook his head.
Unexpectedly, Kong Li's face sank, and he said coldly, "You don't know, but you still suspect?"
"This …" Master Yang was speechless for a moment, then hurriedly said, "There's definitely something wrong with that person's appearance!"
"Haha." Kong Li sneered, "You actually suspect my Third Brother because of such a reason, it's really unforgivable!"
"Second Young Master, what are you doing?" Master Yang was so anxious that cold sweat appeared on his back. He really couldn't understand why Kong Li would say such a thing.
But he knew that the relationship between Kong Li and Kong Yang was not good.
"You traitor!" Kong Li said coldly again, then looked at the subordinate next to him and said, "Drag him out and break his legs, let him know the price of being a traitor!"
Master Yang's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted, "Second Young Master, please show mercy!"
Unexpectedly, Kong Li was still unmoved. Immediately, the two subordinates next to him pulled Master Yang out, and with a few screams, Master Yang's legs were directly broken and he was thrown out.
"Second Young Master, why did you do this?" The person next to Kong Li couldn't help but ask.
"This person has already been driven out of our Kong Residence by Kong Yang, and is no longer of any use. I only did this to teach him a lesson." A meaningful smile appeared on Kong Li's face.
"Then, should we investigate the person wearing the bamboo hat?" The person asked again.
"No need." Kong Li waved his hand. "With Kong Ming's strength, so what if he has a powerful alchemist tutor? It's impossible for him to surpass me in such a short time, so there's no need to pay attention to him."
"Alright." The person beside him quickly nodded.
…
Kong Li didn't let anyone spread the news that Master Yang's legs had been beaten, so other than the few of them, no one else in the Kong family knew about it. Thus, Kong Yang and Linlong naturally didn't know about it.
Unknowingly, a few days had passed. During these few days, Kong Yang had been earnestly learning alchemy knowledge from Linlong.
The more Kong Yang learned from Linlong, the more satisfied he became. This was because he realized that Linlong was many times stronger than his previous Master Yang.
Linlong was also very satisfied with Kong Yang. He realized that Kong Yang was actually very talented. It seemed that it was because he wasn't interested in alchemy that his strength in alchemy was average.
If he was given time, he could at least become a respected and admired alchemist in the Deep Cold World.
At this time, Master Yang was lying in an inn.
After staying in the Kong residence for so long, he naturally earned a lot of money, so it wasn't difficult for him to find a place to recuperate in peace.
Looking at his broken legs, he naturally hated Kong Li and Kong Yang to the bone.
"Kong Li, Kong Yang, one day, I, Yang Tianming, will make you kneel and apologize to me!" Master Yang, whose name was Yang Tianming, said fiercely.
Of course, he could only talk about it now because he couldn't do anything to the Kong Clan at all.
Just as he was filled with hatred, a voice came from the room next door. It seemed like two people were discussing something.
After listening carefully, Yang Tianming's interest was piqued.
This was because the two people next door were talking about the incident in Ding Xi City and Zhou Han.
Then, Yang Tianming asked the waiter to invite the two people from the room next door over. Naturally, he had spent some money. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come over.
"Dear friend, may I know why you called us over?" One of them said with a smile as he pinched the coins Yang Tianming gave him.
"I heard you talking about the incident in Ding Xi City and it seems to be related to the Zhou family in Yongjiang City. Therefore, I want to know more about it. I have a friend in Ding Xi City and he is related to the Zhou family in Yongjiang City," Yang Tianming said.
One of them immediately said, "The reason why Ding Xi City has attracted so many great powers is because they are selling Spirit Calming Pills there. The effects of this Spirit Calming Pill are much better than ordinary Spirit Calming Pills. Even ordinary people will be able to control the Ice Talisman after consuming it."
"It can't be, right? Is it really that amazing?" Hearing this, Yang Tianming was naturally surprised.
Due to the lack of information, he didn't know that such a thing happened in Ding Xi City.
"The miraculous Spirit Calming Pill naturally attracted the attention of many powerful forces. After people went over, they discovered that the medicine store selling the Spirit Calming Pill was cooperating with several of the larger families in Ding Xi City. Because of this, the forces in the past weren't able to obtain any benefits from these families. Even the forces that brought experts who could activate grade 4 ice talismans were the same."
"In the beginning, there were only two families with such experts. One was the Zhou family in Yongjiang City, and the other was the Bai family in Fengluo City. Later on, there was a rumor that the medicine store selling the Spirit Calming Pill was cooperating with the Zhou family in Yongjiang City."
"That medicine store was cooperating with the Zhou family?" Hearing this, Yang Tianming's eyes lit up.
"That was the rumor. It was said that the Bai family wanted to snatch the business from the Zhou family, but they didn't succeed. It was also at this time that His Majesty sent someone over to ask the medicine store to hand over the method to refine the Spirit Calming Pill to the Ice Peak Nation. At first, the medicine store's shopkeeper nodded in agreement. Who would have thought that he would disappear without a trace at the crucial moment? His Majesty was naturally furious and directly sent someone to Yongjiang City to look for the Zhou family. Who would have thought that the Zhou family would say that they didn't cooperate with the medicine store at all?
Could it be that the person wearing the bamboo hat was the medicine store's alchemist? Hearing these two people's words, such a thought immediately emerged in Yang Tianming's mind.
With this thought in mind, he immediately asked, "Has anyone seen the medicine store's shopkeeper and the alchemist who refined the Spirit Calming Pill?"
"It seems that no one has seen them. I heard that the shopkeeper is very mysterious. As for the alchemist, no one has seen him before," one of the two people said.
In that case, the person wearing the bamboo hat might really be the medicine store's alchemist! Yang Tianming was certain in his heart.
After letting these two people leave, he began to think about how to use this information to turn his situation around. He knew that this was an opportunity, and if he didn't seize it quickly, it might be too late for regrets.
However, apart from the Kong family, he didn't know anyone from any major forces.
Finally, with a flash of inspiration, he thought of the City Lord of Nanjiang City. He had seen that City Lord before, and he felt that if he told him this information, the City Lord would definitely not hit him when he was down like Kong Li.
Immediately, he spent some money and asked a captain of the city's patrol team to look for him at this inn.
"Hey, Master Yang, why are you like this?" As soon as he came over, he saw that Yang Tianming's legs were obviously injured, so the captain was naturally surprised.
He had seen Yang Tianming before and knew that Yang Tianming was the master who taught Kong Yang alchemy. It was precisely because of this that he came over. Otherwise, if it was an ordinary person, why would he come to look for him in person?
"Sigh, it's a long story, so I won't say it." Yang Tianming sighed. He couldn't say that his legs were broken by Kong Li, could he?
"Then, Master Yang, why did you ask me to come over?" the captain asked again.
"It's because of a very important matter. This matter is related to Dingxi City's Spirit Calming Pill!" Yang Tianming said.
"Dingxi City's Spirit Calming Pill!" Hearing this, the captain was naturally shocked.
He had also heard about the matter in Dingxi City.
"That's right." Yang Tianming nodded.
"Then what is it? Master Yang, you can tell me. I will go back and immediately inform the City Lord! "the captain said.
"This matter is very important, so I must see the City Lord personally," Yang Tianming said.
He didn't want to tell the captain directly. It wouldn't be good if the captain directly sold him out.
As he spoke, he took out a bag of money and handed it to the captain.
After receiving the bag of money, the captain's face naturally revealed a smile. At this moment, he didn't care about this matter with Yang Tianming.
"Okay, I will go back and immediately inform the City Lord," the captain immediately said.
After leaving this place, he immediately went to look for the City Lord.
With Yang Tianming's identity and his willingness to spend so much money, the captain naturally believed that it was really something important.
If he knew that Yang Tianming had already been chased out, how could he still believe Yang Tianming?
"City Lord, Master Yang of the Kong Residence said that he has something important to tell you. It's about Dingxi City's Spirit Calming Pill!" As soon as the captain saw the City Lord, he said.
"Dingxi City's Spirit Calming Pill?" The City Lord was naturally shocked.
Naturally, he understood Ding Xi Cheng's expression better than the captain.
"Yes." The captain nodded and said, "From his expression, it seems like it's true. That's why I hurried back to report."
"That's fine. Bring him to see me immediately!" The City Lord immediately said.
"Okay!" After responding, the captain immediately left and went to look for Yang Tianming.
When he came to look for Yang Tianming, in the Kong Residence, Kong Li and Kong Yang happened to meet.
"Third Brother, long time no see!" Seeing Kong Yang, Kong Li said with some pride.
In this competition, he was confident that he could win against Kong Yang, so his expression was naturally relaxed.
"Second Brother, it's indeed been a long time." Kong Yang frowned slightly.
Just as he was about to leave, Kong Li said again, "Third Brother, I heard that you chased away Master Yang who taught you Alchemy?"
"That's right. Where did Second Brother hear this news?" Kong Yang couldn't help but ask.
"Because your Master Yang personally came to look for me." Kong Li smiled.
"He personally came to look for you?" Kong Yang's frown deepened.
In his opinion, since Yang Tianming did this, he should have gone to seek refuge with Kong Li.
"Third Brother, look at you. Since you don't want him, how can I, your Second Brother, want him?" Kong Li chuckled.
Then he changed the topic, "However, I said that I don't want him, but that kid said that he has important information to report."
"Oh, what information?" Seeing Kong Li's expression, Kong Yang felt that something was wrong.
"He said that the origin of your new Master is unknown, and that there might be something wrong with him." Kong Li said.
"Then, Second Brother, do you believe him?" Kong Yang frowned.
Kong Li smiled again, "Third Brother, rest assured. Although I don't have a good relationship with you, how can I let an outsider sow discord between us? So, I directly drove him away. Before driving him away, I even broke his legs, teaching him a good lesson on behalf of Third Brother. So, Third Brother, you should thank me."
"Thank you, Second Brother." Kong Yang said.
"Haha, hearing Third Brother's words, Second Brother is happy. But then again, how is your new Alchemist?" Kong Li said.
"Not bad, at least better than Master Yang." Kong Yang said.
"Then I hope you can get a good result in the competition. Although you can't beat me, you can't let our Kong family's name down … Alright, I won't waste any more words with you, second brother …"
After saying that, Kong Li left with a few people with a smug look on his face.
Although Kong Yang could crush him in runes, he was no match for him in alchemy. In this competition, with his strength in alchemy, he was confident that he could directly crush Kong Yang, so he naturally had a smug look on his face.
As soon as he returned to his residence, Kong Yang immediately told Linlong about this matter.
In the past few days, because of Linlong's performance, he admired Linlong greatly and completely regarded himself as Linlong's disciple, not boasting about his identity as the Kong family's third young master in front of Linlong.
Of course, Linlong had been wearing a large bamboo hat, not revealing his identity as a foreigner.
"You mean, after Yang Tianming was driven out, he went to Kong Li's place and said that he suspected us?" Linlong frowned.
He had sneaked out of Dingxi City, naturally not wanting to expose his identity. Now that he heard such words, he was naturally very cautious.
"Yes." Kong Yang nodded.
It would be bad if his identity was exposed because of this matter, so he had to find Yang Tianming immediately! Linlong immediately made up his mind.
He immediately looked for Zhou Han. Zhou Han and the others were naturally still in the Kong residence these days.
"Young Master, what's the matter?" Zhou Han respectfully asked when he saw Linlong.
Linlong immediately told him about Yang Tianming's matter.
"This Yang Tianming really knows how to cause trouble!" Zhou Han coldly said after hearing Linlong's words.
"So, immediately send someone to find him and then capture him to see me!" Linlong immediately said.
"Yes, I will do it immediately!" Zhou Han nodded.
After saying that, he walked out.
