Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Many Gifts for Apprenticeship (5)_1

"So you can bring the Le Family people into the Huo Residence and treat a benefactor of the Huo Family like this?" When Le Mei spoke, it only made Huo Qi even angrier.

"What will it take for you to save my daughter?" asked Le Guanghai.

"It’s quite simple, your daughter insulted me and even wanted to kill me. I was quite frightened at the time, surely some compensation is in order?! Just a little something, say, one million Purple Coins?" Dugu Qianye looked at Le Guanghai with a half-smile, as she spoke.

Insult her and not bleed a little in compensation? Then she wouldn’t be Dugu Qianye!

"You leave me in this state and you still want compensation? No way!" Le Hanyue shouted when she heard Dugu Qianye’s words.

Dugu Qianye didn’t bother with her reaction, waiting for Le Guanghai’s response.

"You think you’re safe here? Can you still be safe once you leave the Huo Residence?" Le Guanghai said.

"I believe the Huo Family will protect me thoroughly," Dugu Qianye said with a smile as she looked towards the people approaching from outside.

"Humph, no way!" Le Mei snorted.

"What are you all doing?!" Huo Qi rushed in from the outside, glaring angrily at the Le Family members.

"Master Qi, this woman injured my beloved daughter, we were just..." Le Guanghai hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Who do you think you are to treat a benefactor of our Huo Family like this!" Huo Qi looked disdainfully at Le Guanghai, then approached Dugu Qianye, performed a courteous bow, and said, "Master, I have prepared all the medicinal ingredients you requested."

Huo Qi’s identity was always somewhat special in the Huo Family; nobody knew his origin, but ever since Huo Yutian brought him back and gave him the Huo family name, he was treated with great respect. A Yaolai Store was set up just for him, and nobody was allowed to enter. And he commanded respect from everyone.

Seeing Huo Qi bow to Dugu Qianye and hearing the respectful title, everyone was astonished.

Dugu Qianye smiled and said, "Old Qi, I can’t leave just now. You see the situation here; if I were to leave, I’d probably be crippled the moment I stepped out."

"With your status as an 8th-level Alchemist, who would dare to disrespect you?" said Huo Qi.

8th-level Alchemist?!

"She’s actually an 8th-level Alchemist?!" Everyone was stunned by the bombshell Huo Qi had just dropped. If she was an 8th-level Alchemist, then their actions today were suicidal!

"You, you’re actually... an 8th-level Alchemist?" Le Mei stuttered, asking. If this were true, her actions today could have led to being expelled from the Huo Family by the Family Head!

The night before her Spiritualization, Dugu Qianye had gone to find Huo Qi, asking him to prepare the medicinal ingredients needed for alchemy in the following days. She happened upon him in the Alchemy Room, staring blankly at the Pill Furnace; he was uncertain about the pill condensation stage for 8th-level Elixirs and thus kept failing. So she demonstrated the process for him, refining a batch of 8th-level Elixirs. Watching Dugu Qianye’s smooth, flowing motions, Huo Qi was filled with admiration.

"What if I am?" Dugu Qianye said to Le Mei with a light smile.

"I, I..." Le Mei didn’t know what to do at that moment. The consequences of antagonizing an 8th-level Alchemist terrified her just thinking about it.

"I had no idea Miss Dugu was an 8th-level Alchemist. I apologize on behalf of the Huo Family for the trouble we have caused you," Huo Yi’s father stood up, performed a deep bow toward Dugu Qianye, and said.

"Young Master Huo is too kind," Dugu Qianye replied, steadying herself. "I wonder, Le Family Head, am I now free to leave through the Huo Family’s main gate?"

Le Guanghai looked at Dugu Qianye then glanced at his daughter Le Hanyue, who was shivering from the cold. He said, "I will give you a proper explanation for today’s events and also apologize for my daughter’s past offense against you. But please, in light of the fact that she did not manage to harm you, spare her this once."

Dugu Qianye hadn’t expected Le Guanghai to go to such lengths for his daughter. Seeing the deep fatherly love emanating from him and thinking about how he himself had acted before because of his own daughter, Dugu Qianye realized her father might have been the same. She no longer wanted to pursue today’s matter any further. Suffering for a few days could be considered punishment for Le Hanyue.

Dugu Qianye approached Le Hanyue and laid her hand upon hers. The Ice Heart Qi lingering in Le Hanyue’s body obediently returned to Dugu Qianye’s hand. As soon as the Ice Heart Qi left her body, Le Hanyue immediately felt much warmer.

Dugu Qianye gave the Le father and daughter a look and said, "There won’t be a next time."

"Of course not, many thanks, Master!" Le Guanghai hastily assured. The fact that Dugu Qianye spoke in such a way meant she no longer intended to pursue the matter, and he knew he would be foolish not to recognize that after having lived so many years.

"Elder Qi, let’s go," Dugu Qianye said to Huo Qi as she joined him.

Dugu Qianye and Huo Qi arrived at the Yaolai Store and went straight to the Alchemy Room. The medicinal herbs Huo Qi had prepared were already there.

"May I assist you with this?" Huo Qi offered.

Dugu Qianye’s alchemy technique was truly unique, and he wanted to observe it once more. Knowing what he had in mind, Dugu Qianye nodded in agreement.

Level 8 elixirs had become quite familiar to Dugu Qianye by now. To allow Huo Qi a better view, she even deliberately slowed down her pace.

Two hours later, Dugu Qianye combined the Vermilion Immortal Grass with other fire-attribute herbs and concocted the elixir before handing it over to Huo Qi. Huo Qi, thrilled, took the elixir and rushed to Huo Yutian’s courtyard. Dugu Qianye was also interested in seeing the efficacy of the medicine, so she followed him there.

When they arrived at Huo Yutian’s courtyard, Huo Qi’s spouse, Huo Yi and Huo Wu, as well as the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder were all present.

"Uncle Qi, is it ready?" Upon seeing Huo Qi and Dugu Qianye enter, Huo Qi stood up and asked.

Huo Qi nodded, approached Huo Yutian’s bedside, and fed him the elixir that Dugu Qianye had just prepared. After the coldness had been driven out of his body by Dugu Qianye, Huo Yutian was no longer frozen, but his body temperature was still low. As soon as he took the elixir, his body began to slowly warm up, and he even stirred and opened his long-closed eyes.

"Father, are you awake?" Huo Qi, seeing Huo Yutian open his eyes, excitedly exclaimed.

"Brother Yutian," Huo Qi also tried calling out.

Finally, Huo Yutian opened his eyes, looked at Huo Qi and Huo Qi, and asked hoarsely, "What happened?"

"Father."

"Grandfather!"

Huo Yi and his sister approached Huo Yutian, excited that he was truly awake. Meanwhile, Dugu Qianye took the opportunity to slip away unnoticed back to the Yaolai Store.

Two days later, Huo Yutian had almost fully recovered. After learning about what Le Mei had previously done to Dugu Qianye, he scolded her harshly. Although he didn’t make Huo Qi divorce her, he punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall for a month. He also personally went to the Yaolai Store to apologize to Dugu Qianye and express his gratitude for saving his life.

"Elder Qi tells me you’ve been looking for the Fuyu Flower?" Huo Yutian inquired of Dugu Qianye. Now that his injuries had healed, Huo Yutian didn’t look as frightening as before, but he was still notably gaunt.
