Chapter 120

Unusual movement of spiritual energy.

“Younger brother You. The nine hundred stalks of magic herbs you took half a month ago, you’ve finished refining them all?”

After quite a while, Zhao DaZhou restrains the shock on his face. But the gaze he uses while looking at You XiaoMo is one of disbelief. He would rather believe that someone is helping him out. Or maybe he took his own portion to make up the numbers, the so calledslap your own face until it’s swollen in order to look imposing.

“Not yet.”

How could You XiaoMo know what he is thinking? He shakes his head.

Zhao DaZhou immediately heaves a sigh of relief in his heart. Looks like he is the one that is slapping his own face in order to look imposing. It’s just that he didn’t expect You XiaoMo to actually be so concerned about keeping up appearances. He can’t help but feel a little disdain in his heart. But he doesn’t think that he himself is also especially concerned about keeping up appearances.

Unexpectedly, You XiaoMo continues saying with a somewhat casually, “I still have half that I haven’t refined.”

Zhao DaZhou’s mouth hangs slightly open, looking wide-eyed at him. It’s quite a while before he regains his senses. He abruptly stands up from the chair, his face no longer calm as if he is thinking of seizing him for interrogation. Luckily he still remembers that this is the Hall of Enchanted Herbs and he is currently sitting in his father’s place. He takes a deep breath and calms down the agitation in his heart.

“Younger brother You. When you refine magic pills ……. have you ever failed before?”

Zhao DaZhou asks probingly.

Hearing these words, You XiaoMo laughs uncomfortably. He finally understands why Big brother Zhao suddenly turned so strange. So, he was the one that incited it. Immediately he hesitates between telling the truth or lying.

If he lies, he is afraid that he would be found out by Fifth brother. After all, Uncle Zhao knows that he hasn’t failed before when refining magic pills. And the two of them are father and son. When the time comes, he only has to ask his father and the lie would be exposed. When Fifth brother finds out that he lied to him, how would he react? So he must absolutely not tell a lie.

But if he tells the truth, looking at his expression, he already knows that he made quite an impression. If he gives him another blow, he would keep thinking about it, getting no peace.

Difficult situations on left and right, it would be better to choose a comparatively lighter outcome.

You XiaoMo says as if looking death in the face, “That ……. seems like ……. actually ……. haven’t failed before.”

After saying these words, You XiaoMo finds that Fifth brother’s aura is becoming turbulent. Most probably he is over agitated causing his soul force to become unstable. Looks like what he guessed is not wrong. Raising his head, he sees Fifth brother staring straight at him.

“Fifth brother, are ……. are you ok
