Chapter 196: Targeting, Arrogant

Before Feng Qingya could even react, Bai Susu’s expression suddenly turned serious as she stared at her.“Are you really unable to find a decent alchemist?”

Feng Qingya was taken aback by her words: “What do you mean, Susu?”

She was indeed caught off guard.

Subconsciously, she replied, “Master Su and Xuening’s alchemy skills are exceptional. With their help, there shouldn’t be any major issues this time.”

Bai Susu’s expression remained unchanged, her gaze fixed on Su Jingzhen: “But I find it hard to believe that someone like him can decide your future fate.”

“Perhaps you should re-test him carefully.”

As soon as Bai Susu spoke, the room fell silent.

Even the usually taciturn Mu Lao’s expression changed, and Xuening’s gaze towards Bai Susu was filled with confusion.

Su Jingzhen himself was bewildered, unsure of what he had done to offend her.

The implication of her words was too obvious.

He thought to himself, “I’ve only met her once, and we don’t have any past grievances. Why is she suddenly hostile towards me?”

Moreover, he thought he hadn’t said anything to offend her earlier.

“Miss, what have I done to offend you?”

“If I have unintentionally offended you, I, Su, am willing to apologize.”

At this time, Su Jingzhen looked at Bai Susu with a sincere attitude.

Although he usually kept a low profile, in this inexplicable situation where he was being targeted, he couldn’t help but feel indignant.

Bai Susu replied, “Nothing. I simply don’t trust your abilities. Perhaps Feng Qingya was desperate and had no choice but to find you, but I don’t believe someone who can’t even distinguish between medicinal herbs can produce decent pills.”

Her tone was laced with disdain.

The others suddenly realized why Bai Susu was targeting Su Jingzhen.

Even Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled up into a smile again.

He hadn’t expected the problem to lie here.

At this time, he didn’t plan to explain himself to Bai Susu either.

Feng Qingya chuckled: “Susu, you’re mistaken about Master Su. If Rebirth Pill couldn’t even enter the top ten in the first two rounds, we might have to resort to the Breaking Through Adversity Pill anyway.”

Bai Susu’s expression suddenly changed.

Feng Qingya’s words had indeed left her perplexed.

“Susu, do you think a top-grade third-star pill is more valuable or a second-star pill that reaches super-grade quality?”

Feng Qingya asked with a smile.

As soon as she spoke, Bai Susu’s mouth curled up into a cold smile.

Without hesitation, she replied, “Do we need to ask such an obvious question? Of course, it’s the three-star…”

“Wait, what did you say? What kind of two-star pill? Super… super-grade?”

After reacting, Bai Susu’s expression suddenly turned shocked.

Her gaze fixed on Su Jingzhen and Xuening once more.

“You’re saying they can refine a super-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill?”

Bai Susu’s face was filled with shock, and in her heart, she had already gotten the answer.

She just couldn’t believe it.

“That’s right! They indeed have this ability!”

Feng Qingya continued, “So, Susu, you don’t need to worry about the Alchemist Gathering. You just need to provide the pills according to Xuening and Master Su’s requirements.”

At this time, Feng Qingya’s tone was extremely serious.

Bai Susu suppressed the shock in her heart, believing that Feng Qingya wouldn’t deceive her at this time.

Bai Susu’s gaze turned towards Su Jingzhen once more.

“If you need any medicinal materials, feel free to list them out, and I’ll do my best to provide them. Regarding the earlier matter, if you have really achieved that level, I’ll apologize to you!”

Her words were extremely sincere.

Su Jingzhen smiled and didn’t say much.

Towards this kind of arrogant and pretentious person, he didn’t plan to get too close.

As long as the other party could provide the medicinal materials to Feng Qingya, that was enough.

Before long, Xuening had already listed out the medicinal materials needed for the Heart-Calming Pill, Rebirth Pill, and Breaking Through Adversity Pill, and handed them over to Bai Susu.

“If possible, could you provide ten sets of medicinal materials for each pill?”

Bai Susu quickly glanced at the list, but her eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

“Is that all?”

Xuening nodded confidently: “Yes, that’s all.”

The Heart-Calming Pill and Rebirth Pill were both three-star pills, and Dantai Mingjing had carefully selected them earlier.

The medicinal materials for these two three-star pills were extremely ordinary.

Perhaps at the time, he had also considered Feng Qingya’s difficult situation and chose simpler materials.

“Susu, are these medicinal materials difficult for you to obtain? They shouldn’t be.”

Feng Qingya asked again, her tone slightly serious.

Bai Susu shook her head: “That’s not the case. If it’s just these materials, I can provide them to you right now.”

As she spoke, the snow-white storage ring on her hand suddenly flashed with a bright light.

A pile of medicinal materials directly appeared on the floor.

It was all the materials needed to refine the three pills.

In fact, Bai Susu had taken out twenty sets of each material.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen was extremely shocked.

He wondered again about Bai Susu’s true identity.

She wasn’t an alchemist, so why did she carry so many medicinal materials with her?

Was she a living treasure trove?

Su Jingzhen thought to himself, “All the people I’ve met recently seem to be extremely wealthy.”

Compared to them, Xuening, with her identity as Dantai Mingjing’s successor, seemed relatively ordinary.

After taking out the medicinal materials, Bai Susu looked at Feng Qingya: “I thought you would need many precious materials this time.”

“Luckily, I prepared extra and brought some ordinary materials as well.”

“If it’s just these, consider them a gift from me. You don’t need to repay me.”

After speaking, Bai Susu stood up from her chair.

She nodded to Mu Lao, who had been silent the entire time, and then left.

From start to finish, Bai Susu had maintained a haughty and overbearing attitude.

Until she disappeared from view, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

“These rich people are really annoying!”

Feng Qingya said, “Master Su, Xuening, don’t take it to heart. Susu has always been like this.” Seaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Su Jingzhen smiled and waved his hand.

“That’s not a big deal for us. We won’t have much interaction with her in the future anyway.”

“Now that the outsider is gone, let’s eat. If we wait too long, the food might not be as delicious.”

As soon as he spoke, Feng Qingya’s face showed some confusion.

Before she could ask, Su Jingzhen directly took out over ten exquisite food boxes from his storage ring.
