Chapter 88 I'm Here to Rob Them

Not only that.

The Fire Cloud Crane beside him, which had been listless, suddenly snapped its head up.

Its tiny, mung-bean-sized eyes were filled with shock, humiliation, and monstrous rage!

"Gah?!"

The Fire Cloud Crane glared fixedly at Peak Master Liu Changqing, its eyes nearly spitting fire. Its feathers stood on end, and its body instantly swelled in size, releasing the terrifying pressure of a Rank Six Spirit Bird.

So that bout of diarrhea three years ago that made its life a living hell wasn't because it had eaten something bad, but because this dog of a master had fed it Failed Pills?!

So the fact that it had spent three days and nights defecating until it was nearly exhausted and doubting its very existence was all thanks to this master it had loyally served for centuries?!

"He'er... listen to my explanation, that was an accident..."

Peak Master Liu Changqing watched the approaching Fire Cloud Crane and swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down. His voice trembled, and his feet involuntarily retreated.

Back then, his furnace had exploded during Alchemy, and a batch of priceless Medicinal Pills was completely ruined. He was heartbroken and feared losing face if discovered, so he thought about disposing of the Failed Pills. Since the Fire Cloud Crane happened to be nearby, in a moment of madness, he fed them to it...

He thought they were just some Failed Pills and it would only have diarrhea for a few days at most. Who knew the medicinal properties of those Failed Pills were so potent that the Fire Cloud Crane spent three days and nights defecating, nearly losing its life in the process!

"Gah—!!!"

The Fire Cloud Crane let out a shrill, long cry filled with anger and sorrow. It opened its sharp beak, which was half a foot long and glinting coldly, and pecked hard at Peak Master Liu Changqing's buttocks!

"Ouch! You brute, you're revolting!"

Peak Master Liu Changqing shrieked and jumped up, clutching his buttocks. He wanted to circulate his spiritual power to resist, but seeing the Fire Cloud Crane's teary eyes, a hint of guilt welled up in his heart, slowing his movements by half a beat.

"Don't peck there! Ow, ow, ow!"

The Fire Cloud Crane chased Peak Master Liu Changqing all over the main hall, its sharp beak striking again and again, each time accurately pecking Peak Master Liu Changqing's buttocks. Peak Master Liu Changqing scrambled up and down, scurrying like a rat in a pathetic state.

The dignified Void Tempering Realm Peak Master of Pill Cauldron Peak was being chased around the hall by a Rank Six Spirit Bird, scurrying in total chaos.

Lin Waner and Lin Qianxue were stunned.

This... this works too?

The two looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes. A single slip of paper and a few words had turned the enemies against each other, winning without shedding a drop of blood. Senior Brother's methods were simply divine!

Su Ye leaned back in the Grand Armchair, legs crossed, leisurely watching the farce. His fingers lightly tapped the armrest, a cat-and-mouse smile on his face.

"Peak Master Liu, tell me..."

His voice was unhurried, yet every word struck Peak Master Liu Changqing's heart.

"If I were to make ten thousand copies of this recording and the contents of this diary."

"Distribute them to all the Outer and Inner Sect Disciples of the Taichu Holy Land, and even send a copy to the Elders of Beast Taming Peak."

"How would they view you, the highly respected Great Master of Alchemy?"

He paused after every sentence, giving Peak Master Liu Changqing enough time to imagine that terrifying scenario.

"Abusing Spirit Beasts? Covering up mistakes? Being blackmailed by an Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall?"

With every word Su Ye spoke, Peak Master Liu Changqing's heart sank a bit further.

The dignified Peak Master of Pill Cauldron Peak, the Holy Land's number one alchemist, had actually committed such sordid acts. If word got out, his reputation would be completely ruined! How would those Disciples who once admired him look at him? How would his fellow brothers look at him? How would the Holy Lord look at him?!

Especially since he also had a secret crush on the Holy Lord!

If the Holy Lord found out he had done such things, he would be completely without hope!

Finally, he broke down completely.

"Stop! Stop! He'er, stop pecking!"

Peak Master Liu Changqing sprawled on the ground regardless of his image, desperately protecting his buttocks, looking at Su Ye with tears in his eyes. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were messy, and his face was covered in dust—where was the dignity of a Void Tempering Realm powerhouse?

"Su, my little ancestor! What on earth do you want?!"

Su Ye snapped his fingers, the smile on his face instantly vanishing, replaced by a cold glint of greed.

"It's simple."

He stood up, looking down at the sprawled Peak Master Liu Changqing from a height.

"Robbery!"

"Hand over all of Pill Cauldron Peak's most valuable Medicinal Pills, Spiritual Plants, and Spirit Stones!"

His voice was firm and brook no argument.

Peak Master Liu Changqing gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment. He struggled to get up, protecting his scarred buttocks, and said through gritted teeth:

"Su Ye, don't push people too far!"

"This Seat's place is the Holy Land's Alchemy center, and all materials are accounted for. If you rob me by force and the Holy Lord blames you, even your Purple Bamboo Peak won't be able to bear the consequences!"
