Chapter 465: Chapter 465

Xu Muan and Xiao Jinting stood behind Xu Lingfeng as if he was their leader.

Since the secret realm that was said to be formed by fragments of the immoral world appeared, countless Nascent Souls had come, so Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan were not conspicuous when they pretended to be preliminary Nascent Souls.

A woman in a white dress went up to Xu Lingfeng. She wore no makeup, but she was as beautiful as a fairy.

She said, “Hello, Mr. Xu.”

Xu Lingfeng looked at her and felt suspicious.

Bing Ning was the genius of Ice Palace with a born icy physique. After she solved the problem of her physique, she made rapid progress in her cultivation. She was said to be the most hopeful cultivator in Ice Palace to advance to Deity Transformation.

Xu Lingfeng thought, “I’m not a friend of such a noblewoman. Why does she come to me suddenly? I’m dead meat if Li Yi misunderstands.”

Xiao Jinting looked at Bing Ning and admired her. When he first met her several decades ago, she was a preliminary Nascent Soul, but now she was at the medium level. He guessed she would reach the advanced level soon.

Xu Lingfeng looked at Bing Ning and asked solemnly, “Ms. Bing, what’s up?”

Bing Ning said respectfully, “I heard that you know an excellent alchemist. I wonder if you can introduce me to him.”

Xu Lingfeng was taken aback. All the pills in his shop were made by Xiao Jinting. In order to avoid trouble and raise the price, he told the customers that the pills were made by a mysterious alchemist.

Xu Lingfeng said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Ms. Bing. The alchemist got disfigured in a fire and thus has an ugly face. He has a quick temper and doesn’t like to meet strangers. I saved him in an accident and became his friend.”

Xiao Jinting was speechless. He was disfigured by the fire? He was ugly and quick-tempered.

Bing Ning said in dismay, “I feel the alchemist saved me before. I want to thank him for saving my life, but I don’t have the chance.”

Xu Lingfeng said earnestly, “There are countless alchemists in the world, and I think you’ve got it wrong.”

Bing Ning shook her head and said firmly, “The alchemist who saved me has a lot in common with the one you know. I think they are the same person.”

Xiao Jinting got alert. Bing Ning was perceptive, and Ice Palace might be suspecting him.

Xu Lingfeng thought, “Did Xiao Jinting save the woman? Will she marry him to express her gratitude?”

Bing Ning was gorgeous, but Xu Lingfeng had a strong mind and could resist the temptation. He thought Xiao Jinting had a weak mind and might fall for her.

Xu Muan said, “I think you are wrong. My alchemist friend is a homebody. I don’t think he met you.”

Bing Ning smiled and said, “Maybe you are right.”

She suddenly looked at Xiao Jinting and asked, “Mr. Xiao, do you know the alchemist friend of Mr. Xu?”

Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “The alchemist is well respected, but he is weird. Father has begged him several times, but he doesn’t want to meet me. It’s a pity.”

Bing Ning looked at him and smiled. She didn’t believe him. “Doesn’t the alchemist want to meet a remarkable genius like you? He’s arrogant.”

Xiao Jinting said, “Ms. Bing, you are joking. I’m not a genius in front of you. There are countless Nascent Souls in the world, but there are few excellent alchemists. It’s normal that he doesn’t want to meet me.”

Bing Ning nodded and said meaningfully, “Yes, you’re right.”

She turned to leave. Xiao Jinting watched her and felt alarmed. Bing Ning was suspecting him. It seemed that he couldn’t take out the magical sword made of the Heaven Thunder Wood.

Xu Muan watched Bing Ning leave with murderous intent in his eyes.

…

Xu Wang said, “Lingfeng, I didn’t know that you saved an alchemist.”

Xu Lingfeng said proudly, “Of course, you didn’t know. I saved the alchemist on the way from the Green Continent to the Cloud Continent. He was attacked by the demonic beasts because of the spiritual herbs, and I saved him when I passed by. He was grateful to me and determined to return my kindness. I was lucky. It’s rare for alchemists to owe anyone a favor.”

Xiao Jinting was speechless. He thought Xu Lingfeng was stupid, but it turned out the latter was good at lying. He said to himself, “Nascent Souls are cunning.”

Xu Wang said with a forced smile, “Lingfeng, you are blessed.”

Xu Lingfeng waved his hand and said, “Yeah.”

Li Yi looked at Xiao Jinting and got suspicious.

Bing Ning was the genius of Ice Palace. The mysterious alchemist who saved her should be the one who made Ice Marrow Pill, which helped her solve the problem of her physique. Was Xiao Jinting the alchemist?
