Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Just like Mother said
Zia appeared before the guards and stopped his fist that was about to hit him.
"Such arrogance!" She grabbed the young man's wrist, almost cracking it with her strength.
Frost Demon came to his senses when he saw the Great Elder before him.
In a moment of rage, he had forgotten his surroundings, especially when the Guards said that they might have to forcefully kick him out if he didn't listen.
After seeing the Great Elder, he realized that he had made a mistake.
"Great Elder Zia, wai-"
Unfortunately, before he could finish, Zia flew up and grabbed the back of his head, smashing his face on the ground.
"Attacking a guard of the Alchemy Hall... You truly have great audacity!" Zia said while raising Frost Demon's head and smashing it on the ground again.
"You are lucky that I am in a hurry today, or I would have cracked that skull open to see where you received that courage from!"
She released the Frost Demon's head and stepped back, but her tone was still filled with authority.
The Frost Demon indignantly stood up, his face becoming a bloody mess. Still, he didn't attack the little girl.
He really thought that today was the worst day of his life. First, he lost his disciple to Elder Ren for a few weeks. He couldn't even save his disciple. And now, he was beaten by the Great Elder.
"Leave unless you want to have more punishment. From today onwards, you will be banished from the Alchemy Hall and Beast Hall," Zia declared.
The Guards looked at each other weirdly. Wasn't this person already banished? Did Great Elder forget that she had already blacklisted him?
The two guards had a bad feeling about this.
"I will listen to the Great Elder." Although unwilling, Frost Demon turned around and left.
There was nothing he could do. Not only was this girl stronger than him, but she was also closer to the Sect Leader.
He could only accept this disrespect and punishment.
As for getting medicine from the Alchemy Hall, it wasn't a problem. Even if he was banished, he could ask other Elders to get them for him. But the embarrassment... It was something he could never forget.
Before walking away, he glared at the Guards before disappearing.
"Tell the others inside the Hall. From today onwards, Elder Li is banished from the Alchemy Hall and Beast Hall," Zia once again repeated, this time specifically for the Guards.
"Elder Li?" The Guards gulped heavily. "That person was Elder Li?"
"Who else but him uses that irritating frost?" Zia answered while patting the ice shards off her clothes.
After cleaning her clothes, she flew up the mountain.
Meanwhile, the Guards blankly stared at each other for quite some time.
"If that person was Elder Li, then who was the one that came before him?"
They realized that they had made a mistake. But they could not tell anyone, or it would be them getting punishment.
"Forget it! Let's just pretend that we don't know anything." The Guards decided while one of them entered the Alchemy Hall to convey Great Elder's message
....
Zia flew up the mountain and entered her courtyard.
It wasn't often that she was so excited or shocked as an Alchemist. But today, it was the second time this had happened.
Not only did she find the Crystalline Herb of Alchemists but also found the presence of an Alchemist who was even better than her.
She sat in her room and started replaying the scene in the recording crystal. And the more she watched, the more amazed she became. It was as if she was watching someone perform the most beautiful art.
It wasn't just Alchemy but something more precious. Looking at the scenes, she also had some enlightenment of her own. This time, she was truly like a disciple who was learning from her master.
"Maybe... Maybe it's not so bad to have such a master...' she mumbled under her breath.
....
Eren flew towards his mountain, only to notice Ye Liang along the way. The young man had been walking without rest, but he still only managed to cover only the person in the distance.
"At this rate, he might take the entire night to reach the destination. Not bad. But this is just the beginning."
He didn't help Ye Liang and continued on his way to the Ninth Peak. This much punishment was nothing for the Main Character after all.
....
Yu Lin was sitting outside her courtyard, gazing at the moon in the sky.
The scene where Eren saved her was still replaying in her mind. But only did he get angry for her sake, but he was even willing to kill another Elder for her.
Although he hadn't taught her anything yet, but this much was more than enough to make her happy. Which other Elder was willing to go so far for their disciple?
"He is really nice... just like mother told me," she smiled innocently.
"Who told you what?"
Yu Lin stood up the moment she heard Eren's voice.
"M-Master." She quickly turned around and greeted Eren who just returned from the Alchemy Hall.
"You don't have to be so stiff. You are my disciple. I won't bite you," Eren jokingly stated.
He changed the topic.
"I looked at your courtyard the last time I was here. But now, it seems even better. You are very good at it."
"If the Master likes it, you can stay here," Yu Lin said. "There is more than enough space. And if you need the entire place, I can make another one for myself."
Eren burst into laughter. "What kind of master will I be if I start taking things from my disciple? Instead, I should be giving you things."
"Now that I think about it, I haven't given you anything yet. How about it? I will teach you something really nice. With that, the next time you face that brat, you can beat him to a pulp."
Eren brought a book from his storage ring. The book looked very old and worn out. It appeared like it could be torn with just the slightest of force.
"Master, this is...?" Yu Lin asked, filled with confusion.
