Chapter 634: with translation of chapter title

Especially that Xuan Yi Association president, after you snatched the Medicine Venerable's strange fire and storage ring, the whole person went somewhat mad, almost attacking me.

While speaking, Cao Ying's fair jade hand flipped over.

The violent azure flame ignited in midair more than ten centimeters above her palm.

Moreover, they two still went multiple times to the Cao family, hoping through those family elders to force me to hand over this Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire.

I really had no choice, so I came to this Ye courtyard to quiet down. After all, this is Sacred Pill City; the Ye family are unwilling, and even my teacher would not dare barge in forcibly.

As she spoke, a hint of grievance appeared on Cao Ying's alluring and delicate pretty face.

Hearing Cao Ying's words, Lin Feng then understood.

During his stay at the Ye family, Sacred Pill City actually had so many things happen.

However, Lin Feng was quite surprised that Cao Ying did not hand over the Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire in her hand.

Thinking of this, his favor toward Cao Ying surged upward instantly.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yixian and Feng Qinger, upon hearing that Cao Ying had endured so much grievance to protect her husband's Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire,

Their gazes toward Cao Ying shifted from previous hostility to considerable friendliness.

After all, just thinking about it gives them a headache.

It's hard to imagine how Cao Ying has gotten through these days.

Then Lin Feng, somewhat curious, asked: 'You doing this, isn't it just offending the Three Pillars of the Pill Tower; does the Cao family have no objections?'

'Yes, some elders have suggested that offending the Three Pillars of the Pill Tower for you is not worth it; it would be better to hand over the Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire.'

'Especially that Xuan Yi Association president promised that if we give the Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire to them, she would later persuade Tian Lei Zi, and together they would nominate Cao Xiu as a candidate for Pill Tower Pillar, after which some elders' eyes turned red directly.'

Hearing the former's words, Cao Ying gave him an annoyed charming glance, then continued: 'But many elders also feel that since I borrowed your strange fire, I have the responsibility to keep it safe for you. Once the Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire is handed over, the Cao family's reputation will surely suffer a great blow; this move is undoubtedly an extremely unwise decision.'

'In the end, neither side could convince the other, so they argued day after day. I think even now, the Cao family is still arguing endlessly.'

Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but look upon the Cao family with higher regard.

If it were an ordinary person, likely eight or nine out of ten would hand over the Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Through this matter, to continue maintaining, even deepening one's relationship with the Three Pillars.

After all, on the surface, one is a Pill Tower disciple who has some unknown connection with the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan.

The other is someone who actually controls external affairs of the Pill Tower, handling most matters, one of the Three Pillars.

Not only is he the most talented junior in his own family, but also a disciple of one of the Pillars.

Furthermore, the other two Pillars are willing to nominate Cao Xiu as a candidate for Pillar of the Pill Tower.

This means that as long as the Cao family maintains its relationship with them, the Cao family will surely occupy one of the future Pill Tower Pillar positions.

If luck is sufficient, the Cao family could even directly occupy two of the Pillar positions.

The benefits it could bring are truly hard to imagine.

As for himself, outwardly he appears to have some connection with the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan.

But likely, it will not be an extremely deep relationship.

And the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan is also unlikely to offend the Dou Qi continent's recognized holy land of alchemists for a mere human.

Yet in this situation, the Cao family did not turn toward Xuan Kongzi and his group; it seems their character is indeed not bad.

At this moment, Cao Ying again gave a wry smile and said: 'Those old fogies only think about the Pill Tower Pillar position all day. They don't consider that although Cao Xiu's talent is not bad, compared to Song Qing, he is still a grade lower.'

'Even if he becomes a candidate for Pill Tower Pillar, those three words "candidate" may never be shed until his death.'

Hearing this, Lin Feng raised his brows slightly; it seems Cao Ying is still quite clear-headed in the face of such interests.

However, he then shook his head and said: 'But this time you've done this; if you later want to become a Pill Tower Pillar, it might be somewhat dangerous.'

'It's fine; worst case, I'll just give up the Pill Tower Pillar position. With my talent, I have confidence to later enter the Xiao Dan Tower's Grand Elder Council. Although it's somewhat inferior to being both a Grand Elder Council member and the highest external manager of the Pill Tower Pillar, it doesn't matter.'

Hearing this, Cao Ying waved her hand and forced a smile.

Then, after a slight hesitation, she continued: 'However, you need to be careful. Earlier, when my teacher still didn't know I had your strange fire in my hand, I vaguely heard them discussing strategies with Xiao Yan, saying they originally thought your strength was at most around three-star Dou Zun, and that sending so many strongmen to assassinate you would certainly be simple. Yet they never expected things to turn out this way.'

'Furthermore, they said that from your actions this time, you don't seem like someone who doesn't hold grudges. Since things have come to this point with no retreat, no matter what forces stand behind you, we must find a way to eliminate you before you rise; otherwise, future troubles will be endless.'

Speaking to this point, Cao Ying's brows furrowed slightly, then she asked puzzledly: 'However, in their talks they repeatedly mentioned Xiao Yan's girlfriend, saying that if they could gain her family's support, even if you have some connection with the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan, the other side would ultimately not dare to act.'

'And as long as they resolve their rear concerns, they can secretly prepare, gather strongmen. When the opportunity arises and you let down your guard, they will strike a fatal blow to eradicate future troubles.'

Cao Ying, thinking that she had basically fallen out with her teacher, gritted her silver teeth and simply went all the way.

She told Lin Feng the information she knew.

'What, there's actually still this matter!'

Hearing the former's warning, Lin Feng's heart suddenly jolted, and he exclaimed in astonishment.

In his eyes, a flicker of lingering fear flashed.

If not for the former's reminder, he truly wouldn't have known these things.

Originally he thought that after this matter, the Three Pillars would not target him for a while, at most setting a few tripwires elsewhere.

And he still had enough time to win over and integrate other forces.

When his own strength becomes sufficient, he would then think of a way to kill those Three Pillars.

After all, Xiao Yan was able to bring so many strongmen and successfully intercept him at the Space Wormhole.

Those three undoubtedly provided much help.

As for those who want his life, Lin Feng naturally will not let them go.
