C132 Pill King Note(1)

"Y-you..." Ma Tengyue roared as he struggled to his feet, one side of his face completely swollen. He spat out a word along with three teeth. "I'm going to kill you!"

In his fury, Ma Tengyue was about to strike when Yu Jun swiftly stepped in and grabbed him, saying calmly, "What? You think you can start a fight right in front of me?"

"You guys..." Ma Tengyue spat out a mouthful of blood, his words slurred with anger. "Yu Jun, are you blind? This punk hit me! Look at my face, look at my teeth on the ground!"

As he spoke, Ma Tengyue spat again, losing yet another tooth. This only fueled his rage, making him want to tear Woo Zhengyang apart.

Seeing Ma Tengyue's condition, Yu Jun stifled a laugh and said, "Ma Tengyue, do you really think I'm blind or just stupid? You ran into him yourself!"

"Am I out of my mind? I ended up like this because of some trick of his!"

"Whether you're out of your mind, I can't say. But I saw with my own eyes—you ran into him, and everyone else saw it too!"

Liang Ruoxuan, initially shocked, now couldn't help but laugh. "Uncle Yu Jun, he must have done it on purpose to frame Senior Brother Woo. What a devious plan!"

Ma Tengyue was instantly furious and shouted, "You little brat, do you really think I'm that stupid? If I wanted to frame him, I wouldn't knock out four of my own teeth!"

"Ma Tengyue, so that's your plan? How sneaky!" Yu Jun tried to maintain a stern demeanor, but couldn't hide the amusement in his eyes.

Ma Tengyue was fuming. He was in such a state and yet was still being accused like this. As the second young master of the Ma family, he was used to framing others, not being wronged himself.

Thinking of this, Ma Tengyue felt a bitter taste in his throat, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground, fainting from anger.

"Young Master... Young Master..." The two attendants following Ma Tengyue were shocked to see him faint after coughing up blood. They knelt down, calling out to him.

"This kid Ma Tengyue, trying to frame others and now pretending to faint. Whatever, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold it against him. You two, take him back quickly!" Yu Jun said.

The two attendants didn't dare linger and hurriedly dragged Ma Tengyue back into the shop.

Finally, the situation was resolved. Woo Zhengyang hadn't expected that a casual use of his Profound Heavy Power would lead to such a farce.

"Ha ha..." Yu Jun suddenly burst into laughter, startling everyone around. This guy was really over the top.

Yu Jun didn't seem to mind and kept laughing uncontrollably. He walked over, patted Woo Zhengyang on the shoulder, and said, "You're a funny one, I like you, ha ha..."

Then, still laughing, Yu Jun signaled to Liang Ruoxuan and left with his group.

Only then did Uncle Hai release Woo Zhengyang's hand, giving him a suspicious look but saying nothing.

"Senior Brother Woo... how did you do that just now?" Liang Ruoxuan, in a good mood, her cheeks a bit flushed, tugged on Woo Zhengyang's arm and asked.

"Just swatting a fly! Didn't expect the fly to come right at me!" Woo Zhengyang wasn't about to reveal his secret in front of everyone, so he explained it like that.

"How could a fly come at you... are you saying Ma Tengyue is the fly... ha ha..." Liang Ruoxuan laughed again.

Woo Zhengyang looked helpless. This girl was perhaps too excited and a bit slow on the uptake!

"Miss, let's head inside!" Seeing that Liang Ruoxuan was about to ask more questions, Uncle Hai, understanding Woo Zhengyang's predicament, stepped in to help.

"Right... right, Uncle Hai, go ahead and have the things moved inside. I'll go to the second floor with Senior Brother Woo... oh!" Liang Ruoxuan exclaimed suddenly, her previously cheerful demeanor turning into one of concern.

"What's wrong?" Woo Zhengyang asked softly.

"You've just stirred up trouble... You actually hit Ma Tengyue. Even if he ran into you, the Ma family is known for being unreasonable. They'll definitely seek revenge!"

At this moment, Woo Zhengyang was certain that sometimes Liang Ruoxuan could be quite oblivious. She was only now realizing the situation.

"Why? Is the Ma family very powerful?"

Woo Zhengyang wasn't afraid of even the Heavenly Martial Academy, so he certainly wasn't worried about the Ma family's retaliation. Still, he wanted to gauge their strength to avoid being caught off guard.

"Sigh... The current head of the Ma family is an Advanced Martial Master at the late Reality Condensing Stage. Rumor has it their ancestor might be at the Master level!"

Hearing this, Woo Zhengyang was a bit surprised. He knew that in the capital, there were bound to be some formidable families. The Ma family seemed quite powerful, but having a Shape Gathering Stage expert in their ranks was no small feat. After all, even the Profound Heaven Sect didn't have many such experts.

Seeing Woo Zhengyang's expression change, Liang Ruoxuan quickly said, "It's all my fault, dragging you into this, Senior Brother Woo. But don't worry, even though the Liang family is in decline, we'll protect you with our lives. Plus, there's a rule against using force in Cloud Drift City, so the Ma family won't dare to act openly. As long as you stay at my place, you'll be safe. When the opportunity arises, I'll find someone to help you leave secretly. Just don't come back to Cloud Drift City, and you'll be fine."

Liang Ruoxuan spoke rapidly, without even a hint of a cough, clearly worried about Woo Zhengyang.

Woo Zhengyang remained silent as they reached the second floor of the Pill King Pavilion.

After a lengthy conversation, Woo Zhengyang finally understood why there were two Pill King Pavilions here.

The Pill King Pavilion in this city was once a formidable force. Not only was it renowned in the country, but it also stood out among the four nations under the Heavenly Martial Sect.

The name "Pill King Pavilion" indicated that a Pill King had once emerged here. Only alchemists capable of crafting king-level elixirs could earn the title of Pill King.
