144: Careful Thoughts

Haitang gritted her teeth.

Did he even need to say that?

It was a formula her people had researched.

If it didn't belong to her, then who, Yang Yi?

That guy was really good at sweet-talking.

As if she had taken a huge advantage.

But if she thought about it carefully...

Had she taken advantage?

She hadn't taken any advantage at all.

For Yang Yi's matter,

She had expended countless efforts.

And owed many favors.

Now, the Medicinal Pill matter still needed her to resolve it.

Who knew how much it would cost to invite an Alchemist?

More importantly, what if they couldn't research it?

That was the most troublesome part.

As soon as she thought of these things,

Haitang got a headache.

Yang Ming stood aside, not daring to say a word.

Afraid he would say something wrong,

And anger Haitang.

Then he would just leave.

Haitang silently stared at Yang Yi.

Muttering in her heart:

She absolutely couldn't let Yang Yi off so easily.

She still remembered that when Zhong Mingyi left,

He had left the Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword here.

Originally, this sword should have been hers.

Now that Yang Yi had this trouble,

He should give her the sword.

She stared at Yang Yi,

Hoping Yang Yi would take the initiative to give him the item.

But Yang Yi didn't have that self-awareness.

He even stared back at Aunt Haitang with the same look,

As if asking, 'Why are you looking at me?'

The two were in a stalemate for a moment.

Haitang angrily slapped the table.

Knowing that Yang Yi was deliberately pretending not to understand anything.

“Is there something else you haven't given me?”

“Is there anything else?”

Yang Yi looked at Haitang.

Then he looked at Yang Ming beside him.

“Have we given everything to Haitang?”

Yang Ming nodded.

“All given.”

Haitang gritted her teeth in anger.

She was helpless.

She stared coldly at Yang Ming.

“Are you sure you've given everything?”

Yang Ming thought for a moment.

And nodded vigorously.

And he even gave a very appropriate reason.

“It's really given.”

“Zhong Mingyi did leave the Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword.”

“Later, I found him.”

“And returned the Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword to him.”

After he finished speaking,

A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Although what he just said wasn't true,

The Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword couldn't be given to Haitang either.

No matter what, this sword should be his.

It was originally Yang Yi's item.

Yang Yi gave it to Zhong Mingyi.

Now Zhong Mingyi returned it.

As the most powerful person outside the Yang family,

And also the most authoritative person,

He naturally had the right to obtain it.

How could this sword be obtained by an outsider?

Haitang glared fiercely at Yang Ming.

Just as she was about to press further,

Yang Ming was afraid of being exposed if he was questioned further.

So he found an excuse to pour tea for the two of them.

And ran off.

Haitang angrily slapped the table.

But there was nothing she could do.

She couldn't just search the Yang family.

Besides, Yang Yi was already willing to give her the formula.

Although she needed to research the formula herself,

It was still some gain after all.

Thinking of researching the formula,

Haitang frowned.

Because this kind of thing was extremely troublesome.

First, it depended on the Alchemist's skill.

Secondly, it depended on the complexity of the Medicinal Pill.

If the Medicinal Pill was too complex,

Perhaps the Alchemist wouldn't be able to research it either.

“Give me all the Medicinal Pills.”

Haitang said through gritted teeth.

This time, Yang Yi didn't hold back.

He handed all his Medicinal Pills to Haitang.

However, Haitang still didn't quite believe Yang Yi.

“You really don't have any left?”

Haitang stared intently at Yang Yi.

If it weren't for the difference between men and women,

She would have searched Yang Yi's body.

She wished she could rip off Yang Yi's skin.

To see if there was anything dirty inside.

That distrust was like Yang Yi saying he didn't like women.

Under Haitang's aggressive gaze,

Yang Yi raised his hands.

And said very sincerely,

“There really isn't any left.”

Haitang snorted.

Still not believing him.

She turned and left.

Anyway, she couldn't search Yang Yi's body.

Anyway, she couldn't tell if it was true or false.

Now, she could only place her hopes on these ten Medicinal Pills.

Yang Yi didn't care how Haitang researched the Medicinal Pills.

Anyway, he had already given the Medicinal Pills to Haitang.

Even if it didn't succeed in the end,

He would also shirk responsibility.

Everything was Haitang's fault.

And had nothing to do with him.

Yang Yi, feeling unburdened,

Looked at the empty small courtyard.

He vaguely heard children quarreling not far away.

It had been a long time since he had seen the Yang family's children.

And it had been a long time since he went to Zhongyi Hall to impart knowledge to the children.

He walked with his hands behind his back,

Taking square steps.

He arrived at Zhongyi Hall.

The children who were playing saw that the family head had arrived.

Each of them became as silent as cicadas in cold weather.

Obediently lowering their small heads.

Not daring to meet Yang Yi's gaze.

Yang Yi gathered the children who were resting.

And gave them a lively educational lesson.

It seemed that everyone who became a superior,

Became a manager,

Would say some words of encouragement to others to be progressive.

Yang Yi was no exception.

Looking at the children nodding in agreement one by one,

Yang Yi couldn't help but think of himself.

When his teachers taught him things before,

He also acted as if he was humbly accepting it.

But in his heart, he didn't take it seriously.

Presumably, these children had the same thoughts.

For a moment,

He suddenly felt that he had just said a bunch of nonsense.

These children seemed to be listening carefully.

And humbly accepting it.

But in reality, after he left,

They would probably go back to playing.

“Alright, I was just casually talking to you all.”

“You guys go do what you need to do.”

Yang Yi waved his hand.

Afraid of disturbing the children's upcoming game.

He turned and left.

Yang Ming was constantly paying attention to the developments regarding the Medicinal Pills.

However, Haitang kept it very strictly confidential.

He also didn't know what the current progress was.

He told Yang Yi everything he knew.

Yang Yi told him not to pay too much attention.

Anyway, all the formulas had already been given to Haitang.

Even if she succeeded in researching it,

The Medicinal Pills would no longer belong to them.

Yang Ming felt a little indignant.

He felt that the value of the formula was too great.

Yang Yi shouldn't have given the formula to them.

Even if he gave it to them,

He should have gotten some benefits himself.

But Yang Yi didn't ask for anything.

He knew that Haitang had helped the Yang family a lot.

But it wasn't enough to get the formula for free.

When he had nothing to do,

He would mention to Yang Yi,

Saying that the formula was too precious, and Haitang had taken a huge advantage, and so on.

At first,

Yang Yi didn't take Yang Ming's words to heart.

But as he listened, he felt that something was wrong.

Why was he always dwelling on this issue?

Saying that Haitang had taken advantage,

As if he had suffered a loss.

Thinking of suffering a loss,

Yang Yi suddenly thought,

Had Yang Ming also suffered a loss?

For so many years in the Yang family,

He had poured his heart and soul into the Yang family.

It seemed that besides the Profound Cultivation Technique he gave him,

He hadn't gotten anything else.

Was this guy hinting at him?

This day,

Yang Ming came again.

It was still the same old story.

When he had almost finished speaking,

Yang Yi suddenly brought up the Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword.
