Chu Feng's gaze sharpened slightly; the strength of this Chief Luo was unexpectedly not weak.
However, Chu Feng's cultivation in his previous life was also far from weak. He was many times stronger than this Chief Luo.
Even the entire Jianyun Dynasty, in Chu Feng's eyes, was nothing significant. In fact, in his previous life, he could have destroyed the Jianyun Dynasty with just a single command.
The energy of an Alchemy Venerate is absolutely beyond imagination.
After his rebirth, although his cultivation was no longer present, his combat experience and martial arts skills were still intact.
He immediately reached out to grab the bowl, and with a swift motion, incredibly dodged Chief Luo's grab attack.
"When did my little uncle become this powerful?" Joy flickered in the beautiful eyes of his sister-in-law. Watching her little uncle improve was the most gratifying thing for her.
Chief Luo never expected this Third Prince, who was no different from waste, to be so nimble and his moves so exquisite. It seemed to be a simple act of reaching for the bowl, but to dodge the snatch of a Beginner Level Sword Master of the Second Level and avoid spilling the soup inside.
This is definitely not something an ordinary person could achieve.
Perhaps even a swordsman of the same realm as Chief Luo would struggle to accomplish this.
Moreover, Chu Feng was but a mere Second Rank Swordsman, only a bit stronger than the average person.
Chief Luo couldn't help but have his face redden with shame, watching Chu Feng about to drink the Snow Lotus Soup in the bowl.
He would never allow it.
Because he was very eager to see Chu Feng die or, rather, to see both princes and the Commandery Princess of Sword King Mansion die.
Without a doubt, Chu Feng was the easiest one to die among the three masters of the Prince Manor.
Not long ago, the fire poison inside Chu Feng's body had flared up, nearly sending him to the Netherworld.
If he drank this bowl of Snow Lotus Soup, even if it couldn't cure the fire poison, it would certainly suppress it.
Even if it only prolonged Chu Feng's life, Chief Luo would not permit it.
His fingertips flashed with a burst of Sword Qi, and with a hiss, it shot out.
Bang!
The bowl in Chu Feng's hands shattered on cue, the Medicine Soup inside splashing everywhere and soaking Chu Feng. Chief Luo dared not take his life directly; that was something he absolutely didn't dare do.
But overturning this bowl of Medicine Soup was no big deal.
Because he had his own support, Sword King Mansion would not dare to touch him.
"You..." Chu Feng was so enraged that smoke seemed to be billowing from his seven orifices, itching to slaughter this detestable Chief Luo.
This was the medicine his sister-in-law had acquired at a great cost for him, and Chief Luo had intentionally spilled it on the ground.
"Little uncle, let it be..." Tears were already flickering in the eyes of his sister-in-law.
The economy of the Prince Manor was already strained. To buy this Snow Lotus, she had not only called in favors and owed others, but it had also cost a significant amount.
It was all to allow her little uncle to live a few days longer.
Chief Luo didn't seem to feel the slightest bit guilty; on the contrary, he revealed a cold sneer and ogled Chu Feng's sister-in-law with unabashed desire.
"What's going on?" A commanding voice rang out.
Only to see a handsome young man in armor walk in, around thirty years old, with firm and well-defined facial contours. Judging by the armor he wore, it was just that of an ordinary foot soldier.
"Senior brother!"
"My husband!"
Chu Feng and his sister-in-law greeted the handsome young man at the same time.
"Greetings, Eldest Prince!" The recently arrogant Chief Luo immediately became much more restrained upon the appearance of Chu Feng's senior brother. "It's like this, Miss Qiao made a Medicine Soup for the Third Prince to drink, I was worried it was too hot, and I accidentally knocked over the bowl!"
Chief Luo was blatantly lying, it was obviously intentional, yet he talked as if it was an accident. He made it seem as if he cared for Chu Feng so much.
It was enough to make anyone feel sick to their stomach.
"If it's spilled, it's spilled; you may go now!" Chu Feng's senior brother, Chu Jianlan, waved his hand, signaling Chief Luo to step back.
He surprisingly had no intention of holding Chief Luo accountable for his actions.
"Many thanks to the Eldest Prince for your magnanimity!" A smug look flashed across Chief Luo's face as he strode away briskly.
"Senior Brother, that old thing clearly did that on purpose just now…" Chu Feng could not help but say resentfully.
"Don't speak of it anymore; let the matter rest! Third Brother, what did you learn at the Elixir Medicine Academy today?"
"Has there been any unusual activity with your Yang Fire?"
Chu Jianlan swept a gaze in the direction where Chief Luo had departed, stopping Chu Feng from continuing.
"There was some unusual activity with the Yang Fire, but the situation is still manageable!"
"I learned a lot at the academy…"
Chu Feng couldn't understand why his sister-in-law and Senior Brother would indulge Chief Luo so much. It was as if he was climbing onto the necks of their masters and relieving himself there.
Even if this Chief Administrator was highly capable, given Chu Feng's temperament, he couldn't help but feel he should take the man's life.
At the very least, he ought to be driven out of the Prince Manor.
"Third Brother, you should be honest! You say you've learned a lot, then write it down and show me!" Having said this, Chu Jianlan called for paper and ink and asked Chu Feng to write it out.
Chu Feng didn't know why his Senior Brother distrusted him so, but out of respect and fear for his brother, he did not dare to disobey.
He immediately took up the paper and ink and began to write.
However, after Chu Feng had written just a few lines, Chu Jianlan roared, "You can't even write properly; you read, I'll write!" Saying so, he snatched the brush and began to write furiously on the paper.
Chu Feng had rarely seen his Senior Brother so furious and he could only recite some of the knowledge learned in class.
After reciting just a few sentences, Chu Feng glanced at the paper and noticed the content his Senior Brother was writing, his body trembling slightly and his eyes wide with shock.
Because what his Senior Brother was writing was not at all what he was reciting.
The content was truly astonishing.
"Keep reading!" his Senior Brother bellowed.
Chu Feng grasped the situation and immediately began to recite loudly the elixir knowledge he had learned in class. At a distance, not only the departing Chief Luo was watching here, but two servants from the Prince Manor were similarly surveilling.
They exchanged glances discreetly.
Watching Chu Feng being scolded, the two servants covered their mouths and snickered.
"Third Brother, is what I wrote correct?" Chu Jianlan looked up and asked.
"Not a single word is amiss in what Senior Brother has written!" Chu Feng had already read the entire content, his heart as tumultuous as stormy seas.
It turned out that his Senior Brother had long known that there was something amiss with Chief Luo and several servants from the Prince Manor.
Yet, he could not take action against them.
Because Chief Luo was a spy sent by the Prince Liu Mansion to keep an eye on the Sword King Mansion, as decreed by the Emperor.
For this reason, the Emperor himself had made a visit on the very day that Chu Jianlan and his wife got married. Furthermore, he publicly complimented Chief Luo.
The Emperor's words were treated as precious; how could he casually praise someone?
Moreover, the person praised was merely the chief administrator of a Prince Manor. The profound meaning behind this was understood even by a fool.
Having been praised by the Emperor, Chief Luo's position in the Sword King Mansion was as solid as Mount Tai. With Prince Jian having passed away, who among the two Princes and the Commandery Princess of the Sword King Mansion would dare to do anything to Chief Luo?
Acting against Chief Luo would effectively force the Emperor and the Prince Liu Mansion to act prematurely and eradicate the Sword King Mansion.
By keeping Chief Luo and others to monitor everything within the Prince Manor, the Emperor could rest assured.
It was precisely for this reason that no matter what Chief Luo did, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, Chu Jianlan would not intervene.
Chief Luo was no fool either; he certainly wouldn't commit the stupidity of giving others leverage over him.
"Third Brother, today it was Big Brother who wrote for you. Next time, if you're still underachieving, it will be like this paper!"
Chu Jianlan grabbed the paper he had just written, flicking his fingers in rapid succession.
Numerous strands of Sword Qi shot forth, completely shredding both sheets of paper into pieces.
