Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1474: Don’t Be Impulsive

"Steward Ren, you should ask my Senior Brother Yang Fei these questions, not me."

In response to Ren Tianfu’s inquiry, Han Feng’er answered with an indifferent expression. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Though these were her words, she thought to herself, "This father and son duo, Elder Yang Dong and Senior Brother Yang Fei, are both greedy and ruthless, willing to go to any lengths to obtain cultivation resources. That axe is very likely one of the many spiritual artifacts that Senior Brother forcibly seized, which he then gifted to me."

Thinking of this, Han Feng’er smirked coldly to herself.

Han Feng’er understood that she was nothing more than a tool that Yang Fei could toy with at will. The reason he gave her that axe was not out of affection or to curry favor with her, but as a condescending gesture.

Another possibility was that, in Yang Fei’s eyes, the axe wasn’t particularly valuable, which is why he gave it away so casually. With his greedy nature, he wouldn’t have let go otherwise.

"This..."

Faced with Han Feng’er’s indifferent response, Ren Tianfu opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say, and instinctively turned his gaze to Fang Bai.

From the tone and attitude with which Han Feng’er spoke to Fang Bai, Ren Tianfu discerned that Han Feng’er seemed to have some affection for Fang Bai.

And it’s no wonder — not only is Fang Bai young and handsome, but he can also create mid-grade holy spirit pills. Such a martial artist and alchemist surely easily wins women’s hearts.

"I believe Miss Han can certainly inquire from your Senior Brother Yang Fei about the details of that axe, right?"

Fang Bai looked at Han Feng’er with a meaningful smile and said.

Normally, for a martial artist like Fang Bai, who was only at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, he should have addressed Han Feng’er as ’senior.’ However, Fang Bai’s status as an alchemist placed him on equal footing with Han Feng’er, even making her seek favor with him.

After all, the gap in cultivation between Fang Bai and Han Feng’er could be bridged with time.

However, becoming an alchemist was almost impossible for Han Feng’er, a feat as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Being the smart person she was, Han Feng’er detected an underlying meaning in Fang Bai’s words and replied with a playful smile, "My Senior Brother Yang is rather aloof and naturally suspicious, so prying information from him would be quite challenging. Of course, if my younger brother offers enough sincerity, I’m willing to give it a try."

Knowing Han Feng’er wouldn’t do anything for free, Fang Bai extended a finger and said, "I can make another bottle of spirit pills for you! Any type of spirit pill you want!"

Han Feng’er was secretly pleased and bargained, "I want five bottles!"

"At most, two bottles! You must know how difficult it is to make a bottle of spirit pills!"

"Three bottles! If you agree, I can get you the exact information today!"

"Alright then."

For Fang Bai, whether it was three bottles or five, making spirit pills was a breeze. He didn’t want to haggle with Han Feng’er and nodded in agreement.

Han Feng’er left in high spirits to extract the information about the axe from Yang Fei. Before leaving, she left her cousin Xiang Tian behind to "accompany" Fang Bai and Ren Tianfu.

"Things seem to be getting more complicated!"

After Han Feng’er left, Ren Tianfu paced about the room with a worried expression, furrowing his brow.

The issue involving the Lingxu Palace Master and the two elders now implicated the core disciple of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion, making Ren Tianfu even more anxious and heavy-hearted.

The axe initially fell into Yang Fei’s hands, and he gave it to Han Feng’er, who then sold it to her cousin Xiang Tian, eventually showing up at a stall in the Martial Artists Trading Market.

Therefore, the root of the problem must have a connection with Yang Fei.

Ren Tianfu even wondered if Yang Fei had been the one to kill Li Sanfu, the Palace Master, and seize his axe.

But recalling Han Feng’er’s words earlier, Ren Tianfu doubted it was Yang Fei who did it. Yang Fei clearly didn’t think much of that axe’s value, so there was no reason for him to seize it.

Still, if it wasn’t done by Yang Fei, then who could it be?

Where were the Palace Master and the two elders now? How did the Palace Master’s axe end up with Yang Fei? Why was it stained with blood?

These questions bubbled up one after another in Ren Tianfu’s mind. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, almost losing his composure.

"Don’t worry, Steward Ren. The truth will come out eventually."

Fang Bai offered some words of comfort.

"Alas..."

Ren Tianfu let out a long sigh, glanced at Xiang Tian, and then anxiously communicated with Fang Bai using the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, "The whereabouts of the Palace Master and the two elders are unknown, and their fates are uncertain. How can I not be worried?"

After a pause, he asked, "Fang Bai, I’m at a loss and can’t make heads or tails of things. If it truly involves that core disciple of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion, how should we respond?"

Ren Tianfu was well aware that with the overall strength of Lingxu Palace, they couldn’t possibly contend with the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion. Moreover, the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion’s upper echelon was notorious for protecting their own. Thus, even if it turned out that the Palace Master and the two elders perished at the hands of that core disciple, they would be filled with impotent rage.

"Let’s hope the Palace Master and the two elders are safe. Otherwise... we’ll repay eye for an eye, blood for blood!"

Fang Bai didn’t use the Voice Transmission Technique for these words, and after speaking, he slammed his fist on the table with a killing qi.

"Ah?"

Both Ren Tianfu and Xiang Tian were taken aback by Fang Bai’s intense reaction.

Ren Tianfu smiled wryly, "Fang Bai, in their eyes, we’re no different from ants. Don’t be rash!"

His implication was to convey to Fang Bai that the strength of Lingxu Palace was no match for the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion and acting rashly could lead to severe consequences.

"Once we get Han Feng’er’s information and regroup with Tianlu and the others, we can decide what to do. Until then, we must not act recklessly and bring disaster upon Lingxu Palace!"

Ren Tianfu said at last.

Last night, Ren Tianfu took some time to return to the "Guest Arrival" inn and brought the news to Ren Tianlu and the other disciples of Lingxu Palace. At this moment, they were likely anxiously awaiting further updates.

Han Feng’er was indeed efficient, as she hurried back at noon and met with Ren Tianfu and Fang Bai.

Fang Bai noticed the lingering flush on Han Feng’er’s face, suggesting she had just been intimate with someone. He assumed she had used her body as bait to quickly gather the information and decided to keep a polite distance from her in the future.

"I’ve finally managed to get information about the origins of that axe from Senior Brother Yang’s mouth. However..."

Han Feng’er’s eyes swept over Ren Tianfu and Fang Bai, hesitant to continue.

"However, what?"

Ren Tianfu asked urgently.

From Han Feng’er’s expression, he saw a hint of regret and apprehension, and his heart sank, clenching his fists tightly.
