Chapter 82: Chapter 74 Expulsion

When he heard Li Yun say to "dispose of him as you will", Master Gude’s face drastically changed, and he looked at Ye Chen with terrified eyes, trembling from the bottom of his heart.

He truly didn’t know what was so divine about this young man that even his teacher, the revered Second Star Alchemist Master Li Yun, didn’t hesitate to abandon him for the other party to deal with.

It wasn’t just Gude who was shocked; everyone present was stunned by the unfolding scene.

This young man appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, a mere youth barely out of childhood in the eyes of many, hardly worth noting. Yet here, this very youth had made a request that even a prestigious figure like Master Li Yun took very seriously, unhesitatingly abandoning his own disciple Gude.

One must know the significance of being a Second Star Alchemist, a status so esteemed that even those in the Martial God Realm would have to show deference, daring not to slight.

It was evident from this small glimpse how profoundly everyone must have been impacted by this occurrence.

Hua Shaoyang was in shock, staring blankly at Ye Chen. He had originally thought of Ye Chen as just a country bumpkin at best acquainted with Vivian, but never imagined he would know Master Li Yun and appeared to be more than just casually acquainted.

Who was he really? Why did even Master Li Yun protect him so ardently?

Suddenly he remembered how he had disparaged Ye Chen just earlier, and shuddered at the thought.

The lovely receptionist was equally stunned, also not expecting Ye Chen to have such a relationship with Master Li Yun. No wonder when he first arrived he was so bold as to demand to see Master Li Yun—it turned out they really were close.

"Sir—"

Vivian’s luscious red lips parted slightly, revealing her pearly teeth, her bright eyes wide with a playful and cute look, yet still dumbfounded by everything that was happening.

Although she knew Ye Chen was an incredible young master who had single-handedly slain two Innate Demonic Beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range and that alone proved his capability.

But power aside, alchemists are prideful, especially so for a Second Star Alchemist like Master Li Yun, who confident in his stature could sit equal with those in the Martial God Realm. Even a prodigy like Ye Chen should not be esteemed so friend-like by Master Li Yun.

Yet reality spoke louder than words, and here was all the proof.

Seeing Vivian’s adorable reaction, Ye Chen couldn’t help but pat her head, his smile mature and adult-like, lacking any of the immaturity of youth, said, "What’s the matter, shocked, aren’t you?"

Vivian foolishly nodded, still unable to snap out of it.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "There’s no time to be dazed now; this fellow here is to be handled by you."

"Ah—" Vivian exclaimed, finally snapping back to reality, following Ye Chen’s implication that he was giving her the authority to handle the situation, she was moved, but quickly waved her hands as she shook her head, "Sir, that really wouldn’t be appropriate, please handle it yourself."

"No worries, let yourself handle it, don’t fret, everything will be fine with me here, and this guy won’t dare to do anything to you," Ye Chen said.

For some reason, seeing Ye Chen’s sunny smile always felt reassuring, and Vivian’s wildly-beating heart calmed, no longer declining.

But by now, she hesitated because regardless of Gude’s moral corruption, he was still an alchemist. An alchemist with decades of experience and a vast network of connections, many owed him favors.

Even though they had Ye Chen to help them this time and could thoroughly embarrass Gude, after all, Ye Chen was merely an acquaintance formed by chance; he might help this time but not necessarily the next.

If they decided to punish Gude, it would mean making a determined enemy, and were Gude to seek revenge later, it could be highly unfavorable for the current Ye Family.

Torn by these worries and after pondering for a moment, Vivian turned to Ye Chen and shook her head, "Sir, please let Master Gude go, do not blame the master, let’s put all this behind us, what do you think?"

Hearing Vivian speak this way, Gude heaved a sigh of relief.

Yet Ye Chen frowned, "Miss Vivian, after what Gude has done to you, why not use this chance to teach him a lesson?"

Vivian forced a smile, "Sir, I truly appreciate your kindness, thank you, but I’d rather minimize the big issue and let bygones be bygones."

Seeing the worry mixed in Vivian’s expression, Ye Chen, also astute, gave it a bit more thought and understood everything, guessing Vivian was worried about possible retaliation by Gude in the future and dared not chastise him.

After understanding the real reason, he patted the young girl on the head and gently smiled, saying, "I understand your concerns. Are you worried about this fellow’s retaliation afterward? There’s no need to worry about that, right, Li Yun?"

The last sentence was addressed to Li Yun.

Facing Ye Chen’s inquiry, Li Yun could only smile helplessly and looked warmly at Vivian, "Miss Vivian, getting to know him will be your greatest honor. Gude will not retaliate against the Yangg Family, you can be assured of that, I guarantee it."

"Thank you, Master Li Yun, thank you, Young Master." Vivian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with the assurance of Master Li Yun, even ten Gudes would not dare to retaliate against the Yangg Family.

However, what she was more grateful for was Ye Chen’s intervention; without him, a figure like Master Li Yun would hardly bother with such trifles.

Subsequently, Master Li Yun issued an order, his voice cold, "Bring someone, expel Gude from Danxin Palace. As the Danxin Palace Master, I declare that from this moment on, Gude is completely expelled from Danxin Palace and is no longer a member. Everything about him is unrelated to Danxin Palace."

With the declaration of Master Li Yun, Gude was completely expelled from Danxin Palace.

The entire hall stirred.

Gude hurriedly pleaded, "Teacher, please don’t, I ask you to consider our master-disciple relationship and not handle your disciple this way."

But Li Yun paid him no attention, and the guards of Danxin Palace had already stepped forward, seized Gude forcefully, and expelled him, leaving behind only a string of Gude’s pleas for mercy.

Many people in the hall remarked continuously how the mysterious young man truly had great power, getting an Alchemist expelled in such a manner was extremely ferocious.

Vivian was even more incredibly grateful, but there was still some worry, for with Gude expelled from Danxin Palace, what about the Huqing Pill?

Although Ye Chen had taught Gude a lesson for her, it was awkward for her to ask him to take action again.

Li Yun glanced at the concern on Ye Chen’s face, then smiled slightly and said to Vivian, "Miss Vivian, you all have come to Danxin Palace this time to seek Huqing Pill for Old Sir Yangg’s illness, right?"

"Yes, Master Li Yun," Vivian hurriedly bowed and said, "I earnestly request Master Li Yun’s help; my grandfather needs the Huqing Pill."

Master Li Yun said, "The Huqing Pill is good for detoxification, but I’m afraid its effect might not be strong enough for Old Sir Yangg."

At these words, Vivian immediately became anxious, "May I ask Master Li Yun, then what would be the best way?"

Master Li Yun glanced at Ye Chen and smiled, "You needn’t worry about this. Old Sir Yangg is also a distinguished general of our nation, and is moreover at the Martial God Realm level, we must ensure his safety. I will personally visit the Yangg Residence myself and administer the right treatment, there should be no major issues."

"Thank you, Master Li Yun, thank you, Master Li Yun, we at the Yangg Residence will definitely be immensely grateful," Vivian exclaimed joyfully, bowing to express her thanks.

The entire hall instantly cast envious and jealous looks, all remarking how incredibly fortunate the Yangg Residence was to have Master Li Yun promise to personally treat Old Sir Yangg, what a great honor that was.

Furthermore, with Master Li Yun taking action, once the news spread, even many forces opposing the Yangg Residence would immediately pull back, fearing offending this newly risen Second Star Alchemist, Master of Danxin Palace.

One must say that the Yangg Residence was indeed very lucky.

After a round of thanks, Vivian, filled with joy, naturally did not dare to disturb Master Li Yun and Ye Chen further and wanted to quickly pass the thrilling news back home, to inform everyone.

Before leaving, Vivian approached Ye Chen, her makeup-free face blushing like painted rouge, exceptionally beautiful and attractive, her delightful fragrance wafting through the air, mesmerizing.

Ye Chen looked at the girl’s peculiar expression and said, "What is it, is there something else?"

"Master, could you please close your eyes? I want to give you something," the girl said shyly, her eyelashes lowered, not daring to look at Ye Chen.

Though puzzled, the young man complied and closed his eyes. The next moment, a soft touch landed on his cheek, and the girl’s shy voice whispered near his ear, "Master, thank you, this is my gift, and also my first kiss—"

Touching his cheek, watching the shy figure of the girl slowly moving away, Ye Chen was stupefied...
