The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1332

…

"What… What is the meaning of this? Are… are you trying to go against the young miss?" Master Yo said as he staggered on the ground.

But Lou Tong did not say anything and just looks around the alchemy room. When he saw that his target is not inside, he showed a displeased expression as he just glared at Master Yo and then left the room.

When Lou Tong left the alchemy room, a bad premonition immediately envelopes Master Yo's heart and he feels a bit anxious. He quickly wanted to rush out of the alchemy room, but he suddenly feel his chest aching as he fell to the ground.

He clenches his chest and did not move as he knew that he has not recovered from that powerful kick.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja is currently inside his room ruminating on the feeling he just had while refining the herbs. He could remember the sense while the herbs are being refined gradually and their purity percentage grows.

However, he knew that he lacks something.

But whenever he uses his Absolute Sense and lets go of the control of his gloves, he would automatically fail in refining.

Suddenly a thought came to his mind, but he knew it is not a viable option. But if it is permitted then he might even be able to refine up to the 7th tier.

With that in mind, he wanted to quickly do what was in his mind.

But before he could do anything, the door in his room was suddenly kicked open.

Bam!!!

The door's hinges rattled as the door swung open. The lock of the door seems useless by the mere power of the kick.

Then a haughty-looking man enters the room.

Lou Tong glares at Xin Ja then showed a slight smirk on his face as he eyed the young man before him.

"It seems that the young miss took a liking to you because of your handsome face… Maybe if I carve something on that face of yours, then the young miss will not look at you favorably anymore… Hehe… It is your misfortune that you've offended the young master…" he said with a sinister smile.

He suddenly lifted his hand and then gestured for the rest of the people behind him to enter.

Many of them quickly enter the room and pounces on Xin Ja.

Xin Ja could actually dodge them, but he choose not to. He wanted to know the bottom line of this place. If they are able to just let this servant do whatever he wants or if there is a semblance of law in here.

Because if there is a semblance of law in this place, he would stay here… but if there isn't then he would leave this place without a second thought.

And so, Xin Ja was dragged in front of Lou Tong who is now showing an evil grin. The others that are holding Xin Ja also grinned.

"Brother Tong, do you want me to beat him up first before you carve his face? Hehehe…" one of the burly men behind Xin Ja asked with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Lou Tong nodded his head.

Then the man suddenly sent a kick at Xin Ja's back which toppled him to the ground. Then suddenly the four of them began to kick him with gusto without holding their strength back.

Xin Ja who is curled on the ground could now see that the strength of these people is only in the Ki-fighter realm.

If he so wanted, he could actually dispose of these ants. But he bares everything with patience.

"Enough! Stop this!" a beautiful female voice interrupted the group from their crazed beating.

When they saw that a beautiful young woman enters the small room, they all showed reverence before her. Ao Meixi decided to intervene in this troublesome matter as she knew of the importance of the alchemist not only to the family but also to hers.

"The four of you… from today onwards, you will not belong to my Ao family… Leave this place now!" she shouted in anger.

As she shouted, she exuded her imposing aura, the aura of a Ki-Master.

The four men began to tremble as they kneel on the ground.

Xin Ja saw this scene as funny as when these guys are beating him, they look like beasts that wanted him dead. But not that they are being pressured they know kneel on the ground begging.

From this alone, he could tell that these people are spineless cowards and he did not have to waste his time on them.

He would just find some ways to dispose of them secretly.

"Young Miss… May I intervene in this matter…" Suddenly Lou Tong interjected.

His words made Ao Meixi frown. She knew that this former loyal servant of hers has already been bought by that young master who is trying to get her.

That young master is named Lei Berong, the owner of the Jade Treasure Box Merchant house in the town. Lei Berong has a mysterious background and no one in the town knew where he came from.

However, as soon as he appears in the town, he has already been chasing after Ao Meixi. She did not even know who that young master is and why he wanted to propose her a marriage.

Ao Meixi did not say anything as she knew that the influence of the new master of this dog is stronger than her Ao family.

The only powerhouse left in the family is the grand elder who is her uncle and the one protecting her and the family.

But compared to the Lei clan, her uncle would not be able to fight against the experts of that despicable clan.

As she looks at Lou Tong, she could only harrumph coldly then gestured at Xin Ja.

"Follow me…" she said.

Lou Tong wanted to say something but the cold glare from the young miss stopped him. Although he truly wanted to kill that guy as commanded by the young master, he could not push his luck with the young miss.

So he could only relent and take a step back.

Xin Ja walked beside Lou Tong, then he takes a side glance at the guy.

Lou Tong is expecting Xin Ja to show helplessness on his face, but what he saw dumbfounded him.

This is because… the young man is actually showing a teasing smile on his face.

"What are you smiling at?!" he growled but did not continue as he could sense the coldness of the young lady's stare.

After Xin Ja and Ao Meixi walked out of that place, they went to Ao Meixi's private quarters.

Meanwhile, Lou Tong clenches his fist while glaring at the back of the two people.

"Just you wait… Hehe… With the trap I laid down, the young master will be able to get you today… Hehe… you can only enjoy a few hours of your freedom young miss… In fact, you cannot blame me for being ruthless. This is all your fault." He muttered as he also walks out of the room followed by the four men.

"Follow the plan…" he commanded and the four guys quickly darted out in separate ways.

Meanwhile, Ao Meixi and Xin Ja entered the large room of Ao Meixi followed by a petite maid.

"Young Miss… This is inappropriate." The young maid suddenly said in a low voice.

It was as if she is reminding Ao Meixi with concern.

"Little Qing… you don't have to worry… I am just going to talk to him…" Ao Meixi showed a gentle expression while looking at the young woman.

The young woman showed a complicated expression on her face as she bowed her head. She did not go out of the room but instead waited on the side.

"She is my personal maid, you can trust her…" Ao Meixi assured Xin Ja.

But Xin Ja's eyes have already seen the glowing talisman in the palm of that young woman called Little Qing. He knew that the young woman is not as trustworthy as she looks. From the way he sees it, these people have been spying on Ao Meixi for some reason.

But what that reason is, he did not know.

"Master Xin… Are you able to concoct… Core Mending Pill?" she asked.

When Xin Ja heard this, his eyes lit up as that is the pill he plans to concoct once his refinement level goes up 98% in the 2nd and 3rd levels.

Although he could use a lower purity refinement to make the pills, it also lessens his chance to truly recover.

He looks at the young woman and then at the maid servant.

Xin Ja did not say anything and just stood there calmly.

Sensing the apprehension in the young man's heart, she knew that she has to send Little Qing outside.

She looks at Little Qing and then heaves a heavy sigh.

"Little Qing, can you leave us please…" she asked.

When Little Qing heard this, she lowers her head and her expression turned a bit sharp in an instant but then reverted to a worried expression.

"But… but…" she said with hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Xin Ja could not help but want to clap his hand in the performance of the young maid.
