Chapter 19: Dantong obstructs

d After that, Yang Chen saw Gu Mingyue's mood swings, so he asked Gu Mingyue to leave first and went to Mr. Yang's place alone.

It was different from the last time. Last time, Mr. Yang held a lecture hall and his yard was opened to the public. But on weekdays, Mr. Yang has a distinguished status, and ordinary people from the Yang family cannot come here. Even if you come, you can't get in. Like Yang Chen now, he wanted to enter the courtyard to find Mr. Yang, but he was stopped by Dantong outside.

Yang Chen does have the memory of this alchemy boy, because this alchemy boy is a popular person around Yang Erye. It is said that Yang Erye picked him up from outside. Because of his talent in alchemy, he was appointed as an alchemist by Erye Yang. The assistant, on weekdays, helps Mr. Yang guard the door, and all the other people are excluded by this Dan boy.

As for Yang Chen, unfortunately, he was regarded as an 'idler' by this Dantong.

This Dan boy looked very arrogant and did not take Yang Chen seriously at all. He stood guard in front of the yard and yawned lazily: "Yang Chen, you said you can come in and out of the second master's yard at will? You Who do you think you are? Why don't you show off your virtues by taking a shower? Your virtues have spread to other families. What is the identity of the second master, and what is your identity?"

Yang Chen took a general look at this Dantong. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a red face and white teeth. He indeed had a lovable face.

He searched his memory and found quite a few memories from the past.

In the past, 'Yang Chen' would often come to Master Yang's place to refine elixirs, but as long as the elixir boy was here, he would definitely try his best to make things difficult for 'Yang Chen'. Because that Yang Chen was cowardly by nature, he didn't dare to say anything when he was bullied. After a long time, this Dan boy naturally treated Yang Chen as a soft persimmon.

Recalling these memories, Yang Chen burst into laughter. It seemed that Mr. Yang, a noble man, forgot things a lot and never mentioned his own affairs to Dantong. Otherwise, if you give this Dan boy some courage, how can he dare to look down upon others?

Yang Chen put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Second Master told me personally that I can come to Second Master's land at any time in the future."

When he said this, he deliberately amplified his voice a bit.

He guessed that Mr. Yang was probably refining elixirs in the back room, and after hearing what he said, he thought he would come out. As for this alchemy boy, he really didn't want to waste too much time. If he didn't need Yang Erye's alchemy room, he might not come here.

"Hahahaha." Dantong laughed without hesitation: "The second master told you personally? I also said that the second master said to me personally that I was his grandson. Is it useful? Does it make sense Yang Chen? You made it up? These lies will only make me think you are naive. You must know that in the entire Yang family, except for me and the patriarch, no one can freely enter or leave the second master’s yard."

Dantong looked at Yang Chen arrogantly, with a sense of superiority in his bones. It is an honor to be able to enter and leave Master Yang's yard at will.

"Xu San."

Suddenly, an old voice sounded. Immediately afterwards, a white-haired old man walked out of the house.

When Dantong heard this voice, the superiority he felt just now disappeared completely, as if he had become a different person. He hurriedly nodded and bowed respectfully and said: "Second Master, why do you always come out? Is this Yang Chen too much? Noisy? Did he disturb your retreat? If so, I will kick him out immediately!"

Originally, Mr. Yang was as calm as ever, but after hearing what Dantong Xu San said, he immediately frowned and shouted: "Xu San, you are getting more and more outrageous!"

"Second...Second Master, what's going on?" Dantong was dumbfounded. He thought it was Yang Chen's fault, so he immediately said in a deep voice: "Yang Chen, why don't you get out of here?"

"shut up!"

Second Master Yang said with an indifferent expression: "Xu San, Yang Chen is my distinguished guest!"

Xu San looked dull and said as if he couldn't believe it: "Second Master, this...how is this possible!"

"Asshole." Mr. Yang said expressionlessly, "How dare you question my words?"

He shook his head, this Xu San was so outrageous.

What he needs is Dantong, not someone who can use his tiger skin to show off his power. What are Dantong's responsibilities? He has a keen eye, has strong adaptability and knows who he is. Xu Sanyi did a good job in this at first. He was smooth and smart, which really made him worry-free.

But in recent times, Xu San has become more and more outrageous. At least Xu San didn't understand the meaning of his words several times in a row. It was obvious that he had not met his requirements for Dantong.

As early as just now, he heard the noise outside the house and did not come out immediately. He also heard the conversation between Xu San and Yang Chen. Although he was angry when he saw Xu San's despising virtue, he didn't take it to heart. Because after all, Xu San worked under him for three or two years.

Moreover, it was indeed his responsibility for not telling Xu San about Yang Chen's matter, so he had no intention of mentioning it. However, Xu San refuted him again and again, which made Mr. Yang angry and scolded him directly.

After these reprimanding words came out, Xu San was stunned.

Yang Chen is actually Mr. Yang’s distinguished guest?

This, how is this possible? Yang Chen's few kilograms and taels, what kind of virtue is that? He knows it better than anyone else. He is still very discerning, and when he sees a hard nut to crack, he immediately changes his temper.

"Yang Chen, come with me." Second Master Yang said with a smile, and then turned to Xu San and said: "Xu San, remember, from now on, whenever Yang Chen comes to my place, he will be allowed to go. Do you understand?"

"It's...Second Master." Xu San was heartbroken, but still gritted his teeth and said.

However, the eyes he looked at Yang Chen were full of viciousness, as if the treatment he deserved had been taken away by Yang Chen.

He worked as an alchemist under Mr. Yang, and he was indeed taken care of by Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang was kind-hearted, so he would not treat an alchemy boy badly. Xu San was very grateful at first, but as time went by, Xu San regarded himself as the grandson of Mr. Yang in his later years.

He wanted to get all the favor from Master Yang and would not allow others to compete with him for favor. He felt that among the younger generation of the Yang family, no one could be favored by Master Yang more than him.

But now, Yang Chen has appeared. At least from the current point of view, Yang Erye is very important to him.

"Damn it." Xu San gritted his teeth in his heart, and the seeds of jealousy towards Yang Chen were planted in his heart. At least he would never allow a loser whom he had bullied in the past to be on top of his head.

"Yang Chen, it is my responsibility to say that I didn't tell Xu San about you. So, don't take this matter to your heart. Although Xu San's words are a bit harsh, his nature is indeed not bad. ." Second Master Yang said gently.

Yang Chen didn't dare to be arrogant and said hurriedly: "Second Master is joking. If you keep apologizing to me, it will shorten my life!"

"You boy, you are quite good at talking." The more Yang Chen looked at Yang Chen, the more he liked him. He walked forward with his hands behind his back and said, "Speaking of which, you returned home a few days ago and used those materials to refine the elixir. , what’s the result?”

Yang Chen touched his chin, and without much thought, he handed over his hand and said: "Second Master, these days, Yang Chen has been working hard on refining elixirs, and the results are remarkable. Some of the elixir refining results also make me very satisfied. However, after refining for a period of time, I found that there were suddenly many obstacles. It seemed that I had encountered some bottleneck, so I didn't dare to be careless, so I came to the second master."

His words were naturally prepared in advance. With his level of alchemy, how could it be his turn to be taught by Mr. Yang?

"Haha, the bottleneck is great. Speaking of which, what kind of elixirs are you refining?" Second Master Yang asked.

Yang Chen named several pills in succession.

Hearing this, Mr. Yang raised his eyebrows and said in shock: "If these pills you mentioned were really refined, your current level of alchemy would be at least an intermediate level. No wonder, no wonder, Yang Chen, do you know why you have a bottleneck? Because if you take another step forward, you will become a first-level high-level alchemist!"

"Do you really mean what Second Master said?" Yang Chen pretended to be surprised, but in fact, this was all within his expectation. c
