BXBX NOVEL Chapter 340: Time to go!
340 Time to go!
"Welcome." The old man said with a low voice. "Please sit."
Alex looked at the old man who was sitting calmly in his chair. "I am sorry for my rudeness, Senior. I have a pressing matter."
"Hyo-ho. I am just curious about the person who made us literally run out of money a few months ago… To think you are such a young Alchemist. Since you have another matter, then I will make this short. Just put everything on the floor."
Alex nodded. He immediately took out a hundred bottles on the floor. And even from his chair, the old man could smell the pills\' scent.
"Truly magnificent. Two thousand Crystal Skin Pills. You will get 20,000 Spirit Stones for each pill. And with these 2000 pills, you will get 40 million Spirit Stones. And since you are such a big customer and supply us with these many pills at once, since I also finally meet the alchemist who made all of this, I will also add another five million Spirit Stones with my authority."
Alex only nodded his head. Well, it was a good thing he got another five million Spirit Stones. "Thank you very much."
"Then, I should not keep you any longer." The guild master then looked at the elder who guided Alex to this room. "Elder Ren, please prepare the money for him."
"Yes."
"I am wondering… usually, the little girl who will come to this guild. Why do you suddenly personally come to this guild?" The guild master asked Alex, trying to chat with him while waiting for the money.
"She went home."
"Oh, I see."
"Guild Master, I am back." The elder grabbed the cash with lightning speed. The guild master only asked one question, and he already came back to the room. He handed the space ring that contained 45 million Spirit Stones to Alex.
Alex received the Space Ring and looked at the guild master. He said politely, "Then, I will excuse myself."
"Sure. You are our precious Alchemist after all. I will be waiting for you next time."
Alex then left the room.
"Guild Master, are you sure we can give him an additional five million Spirit Stones. I mean, it is such a big sum." Elder Ren asked.
"Hyo-ho. The little girl bought the medicinal ingredients a few weeks ago. And he already came back with two thousand perfect purity pills."
The elder was startled. Since Song Yu occasionally came to this place for Alex, she already knew about this guild master. Usually, he would be the one who personally finished her business. And with the sudden appearance of Alex, he was just a bit surprised to hear Alex\'s voice. It seemed Alex was very young, but it made him appear even more monstrous.
"And she also bought only a thousand sets of ingredients." The guild master continued.
"A set of ingredients can make two Crystal Skin Pills… a few weeks ago…" The elder was shocked to the core when he realized that.
Alex could make all of this in a few weeks, and all of them were perfect purity.
Even the guild master smiled, "Hyo-ho. It seems he is affiliated with the Heavenly Sword Sect. To think such a monstrous Alchemist affiliated with the Heavenly Sword Sect, not Mount Hua Sect. Those old men in the Mount Hua sect would be crying to hear something like this."
"Are you going to tell them, guild master?"
"Why should I tell them? I don\'t have any obligation for that. Elder Ren, just remember, our partnership with Mount Hua Sect is only limited to medicinal ingredients. Ultimately, we are Alchemist Guild of Heavenly Sword Town, not Mount Hua Sect\'s Alchemist guild branch.
"Still, such a monstrous young man. I wonder who his master is…" He was a wandering Alchemist Guild official. He came to this guild a few months ago, and luckily it was the time when Song Yu started running the errand for Alex. This piqued his interest, so he remained in this place just to see it through.
…
Alex went back to the sect to tell him he would go with Evelyn. He just arrived in front of her house, and Charya already shouted, "Come in."
Alex only shrugged his shoulder. Since the house owner had given him permission, he then came inside. "Elder, Charya. I am going to go now."
"For the auction?" Charya asked.
"Yes." Alex nodded his head.
"But, aren\'t you planning to leave next week? Why do you suddenly want to leave now?"
Alex only smiled as he did not know how to explain. After all, if he said he wanted to avoid meeting that Letizia, she might even tease him or something along the line.
"Well, there is a pressing matter. So, I need to leave first. Since the timing is right, I will leave together with Evelyn."
"???" Charya was completely clueless. But since Alex did not say anything about it, she did not pry any further. Charya said, "Alright. If it is a pressing matter, I will not stop you. But you better be careful out there."
"Yes." Alex nodded.
"We have not gotten the news about the details of the tournament, and as soon as I know about it, I will let you know," Charya said.
"Thank you."
Alex then left the house.
Evelyn had been waiting for him together with Anna. Alex said to Evelyn while putting his mask on, "I am going to say this to you first."
"Yes…? Why does big brother use a mask?"
"Nothing. I just want to hide my identity. So, you are going to take part in this."
"Why do you want to hide your identity?"
"It is a bit complicated, but make sure you never told anyone about my identity."
"I will." Evelyn did not know why he wanted to do that but still nodded her head. She promised in her heart not to tell anyone.
Alex looked at her serious expression and smiled. He patted her head, "Don\'t be that tense. It is not like I will do something bad. We will just go with this setting; you are currently guiding an heir from a hidden family."
"An heir from a hidden family?"
"Yeah. You just need to make sure I appear to be a powerful but mysterious man."
"But why do you want to do that?"
"Haha, just ask yourself about this. You are a famous princess in your kingdom. And when I suddenly come to your kingdom with you as my guide. What will the others think about me?"
"What will others think about big brother… Ah!" Evelyn opened her mouth in surprise. She finally understood why he wanted to conceal his identity, especially masking it to be a powerful but mysterious man.
Because she was around Alex and the others for a long time, she forgot about it. She remembered the first time they met in the disciple recruitment.
She clearly remembered her own sister\'s reaction to Alex. She looked down on him. Although she was already not like that after she matured up, the others from the Thiveapia Kingdom might also react the same as her sister from back then.
Although Alex\'s reputation was a bit famous, what he had was not a good reputation. He was one of the wanted men in the Southern Kingdom. Although they had taken it down, the hate was still there. She did not know about his relationship with the Zhou Kingdom, but even so, it was still a bad reputation.
If she, the rumored genius princess, guided him all the way to the Thiveapia Kingdom, the reaction of the mass would be chaotic. If she tried to explain it, some people might believe her, but it was not all of them.
They might even do something to Alex because of that. So, Alex chose to conceal his identity by using a mask. And to protect himself, he wanted her to act like he was powerful and mysterious. That way, people would think twice before acting against him.
They would just think the kingdom sent a princess to guide this important person. She thought a bit before nodding her head. She did not mind taking part in that role because she knew Alex did nothing wrong.
He did not mind being the enemy of the Southern Kingdom just because Putri was hurt. She knew Alex was a good person, so she decided to agree with him.
"Sure. But how shall I call you?" Evelyn asked.
"…" Alex paused a little bit, thinking up a name. "Redna… You can call me Redna."
"Redna… Un… Big brother Redna." Evelyn nodded her head, thinking nothing about the name.
But Anna came to them and teased Alex, "You are still going with that name? Fufu… How can you be so creative in creating a plan but suck at naming? You are not going to use Xela again as your family name?"
"Shut up." Alex only shrugged it off.
Evelyn did not understand what she meant by suck at naming. Noticing her reacting, Anna said with a weird expression, "Don\'t tell me you don\'t understand the naming?"
"???" Evelyn thought a little bit but still shook her head.
"See! My naming sense is good." Alex said smugly.
"Oh my goodness…" Anna shook her head in disbelief. She then said, "He just called his name in reverse."
"…!" Evelyn finally understood her meaning. Alexander and Redna Xela. She looked down as she was too embarrassed because she could not understand something that simple.
"Anyway, I want you to act that way since I am too tired to deal with unnecessary problems. At least, I want to enjoy the auction this time."
"Un, I understand, big brother. Don\'t worry, I will help you with that. After all, my sister is like that for the first time we met. But how about the ticket? I can ask my family to help you issue a ticket for you."
"Nothing. I don\'t have any problems with money. I will get the VVIP ticket so no one would bother me."
"Well, if you can do that, then it will be easy," Evelyn said.
"Sure, time to go."
They then flew away.
Charya was watching them as they disappeared to the horizon. Charya grabbed her wine and drank until she was drunk.
…
Meanwhile,
The news about the Rainbow Flower Sect came to the Heavenly Sword Sects immediately reached Xiang Bai\'s ears.
He was surprised to see the Rainbow Flower Sect suddenly come to this place and wanted to meet them. Of course, the news about Rainbow Flower Sect breaking apart their alliance with Mount Hua Sect had yet to reach his ears, so he was too confused why they wanted to come to this sect.
The princess of Rainbow Flower Sect came together with the sect master as well as a few elders. He was a bit troubled with this situation since they came to this place without any prior notice. Still, he decided to welcome them. Of course, he was not afraid of them, especially with the addition of Maxwell\'s array.
He asked the first elder to accompany him to receive them in Heavenly Sword Town.
They saw a few people on the gate of Heavenly Sword Town. All of them were beautiful women, but there were two women whose beauty was able to best the other women. The older one had long light -blue braided hair, and coupled with her gorgeous face, she was a mature beauty. She wore a tight white dress with a blue flower pattern.
The younger one also had long light-blue hair. But instead of a mature and calm face, her pretty face filled with youthfulness and energy. Her beautiful eyes filled with wisdom. And people could say that the younger one would become even more beautiful than the older one in a few years.
"Sect Master Cecilia La Scola, I welcome you to Heavenly Sword Sect, I wonder what is your business to come to this sect without any notice." Xiang Bai landed and asked.
