A faint smile appeared on Dai Yunyang's face, but there was no trace of amusement in his deep eyes.
"You're back. How did it go?" he asked.
"We encountered some problems along the way," Ling Jiaxin spoke up.
As soon as Ling Jiaxin finished speaking, Dai Yunyang's eyebrows furrowed, his voice turning gloomy and displeased. "What kind of problems?"
He had thought long and hard about this matter and come up with a foolproof plan. How could there still be problems?
"We only managed to win two out of the three Tuojing Dans. Wei Meidai took one of the pills," Ling Jiaxin truthfully revealed, sitting affectionately by Dai Yunyang's side. It had been a while since they had seen each other, and she missed him dearly.
They had finally returned yesterday, but they had been so caught up in plotting against Baili Hong Zhuang that they hadn't had time to spend together.
Dai Yunyang's face immediately darkened. "Why did this happen?"
He had been furious upon receiving his father's letter.
Dai Zhiman was his beloved sister, and they had a great relationship. Plus, both of them had successfully entered Canglan Academy, arousing envy from many.
He had always believed that they, as siblings, would be able to create a bright future together. However, that damned useless girl dared to kill his sister?
Unforgivable!
He would never let Zhiman die in vain. He would make Baili Hong Zhuang pay for Zhiman's death!
He had promised to retrieve the three Tuojing Dans at any cost, but Ling Jiaxin and the others had failed?
Ling Jiaxin noticed the displeasure in Dai Yunyang's tone and didn't dare to tease him further. She quickly explained, "Although we don't have the third Tuojing Dan, don't worry. We have already negotiated with Wei Meidai."
Excitement flickered in Ling Jiaxin's eyes as she continued, "Yunyang, do you know? Wei Meidai also despises Baili Hong Zhuang. As soon as she heard our plan, she immediately agreed to cooperate with us. The only thing is that she won't sell us the Tuojing Dan."
Upon hearing this, Dai Yunyang's anger dissipated somewhat, but there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Are you sure?"
Ling Jiaxin nodded, "I'm absolutely sure!"
Liu Jingkun and Pang Yunxiang, who were standing nearby, also nodded. "Yunyang, we even went to inquire about it ourselves. A few days ago, there was a conflict between Wei Meidai and Baili Hong Zhuang at the Alchemist Guild. Not only did they exchange harsh words, but Baili Hong Zhuang also injured Wei Meidai. Even Wei Meidai's master was driven away by Baili Hong Zhuang. Their grudge runs deep."
Having learned about Wei Meidai's attitude, they had specifically inquired about the situation to be on the safe side.
Seeing Liu Jingkun speak with such certainty, Dai Yunyang's expression improved.
This was an excellent opportunity. If they missed it, it wouldn't be easy to trouble Baili Hong Zhuang again.
If it were only Baili Hong Zhuang alone, he wouldn't have any problem dealing with her.
However, now that Baili Hong Zhuang had a good relationship with Dongfang Yu, Gong Shaoqing, and others, it would be quite troublesome to deal with her.
After all, Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing's strength as special admissions students was not to be underestimated.
"What about the Tuojing Dan?" Dai Yunyang asked.
Ling Jiaxin and Liu Jingkun immediately took out the two Tuojing Dans. "Both Tuojing Dans are here."
A hint of covetousness gleamed in Ling Jiaxin's eyes. As a cultivator herself, she naturally knew how beneficial the Tuojing Dan was and hoped to obtain one for herself.
