Chapter 301: Mentor Gets Injured

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Kong Rui leaned against the door to listen to the commotion inside, but suddenly, there was a loud bang in the room.

Kong Rui kicked open the door without hesitation and rushed in.

The pungent smell of smoke assaulted her face. Thick smoke blurred her vision, so Kong Rui couldn’t see the situation clearly.

Kong Rui covered her mouth and nose with one hand as she tried her best to shout into the room, “Mentor! Are you in there?”

“Uh-huh…” A muffled response came from Kong Rui’s right side.

Kong Rui fumbled in the direction of the voice.

After taking a few steps, Kong Rui tripped and fell to the ground.

“Ouch!” A moan sounded, then a complaint came from above Kong Rui’s head. “Are you trying to crush me to death?!”

Only then did Kong Rui realize that the person who tripped her and caused her to fall was her “mentor”.

She struggled to get up and fumbled around amidst a cloud of gray smoke. Finally, she felt a hand.

“Mentor, I’ll pull you out first!” Kong Rui said as she exerted strength in her hand to pull the person on the ground up.

As soon as Kong Rui moved, she heard a cry of pain beside her. “Don’t move me! Ouch! It hurts!”

Kong Rui immediately loosened her grip, then she bent down. When she guessed her mentor’s locationm, she asked, “Can you walk now? I’ll help you out first.”

The old man seemed to be seriously injured. He snorted twice and said, “No need, no need!”

After the old man finished speaking, Kong Rui felt a gust of wind suddenly flash in front of her, cutting the thick smoke in front of her into two.

The smoke quickly rolled to both sides, as if it was extremely afraid of the wind.

Although Kong Rui was shocked, she was still worried about her mentor’s injuries. When she turned around, she saw a metal pill furnace about half the height of a person pressing down on her mentor. No wonder his voice sounded so strange.

Kong Rui went forward to move the pill furnace, but she realized that she couldn’t move it at all.

“This is…” Kong Rui looked at the pill furnace in confusion.

The old man who was pressed down panted a few times before instructing Kong Rui, “Girl, retreat outside first.”

Although Kong Rui was worried, she still followed her mentor’s instructions.

Kong Rui had just left the room when she heard another loud bang.

Without her mentor’s instructions, Kong Rui didn’t enter the room rashly. Instead, she waited outside anxiously.

After a long while, the old man’s voice sounded in the room again. “Girl, come in!”

Kong Rui hurriedly walked in, but the thick smoke had already disappeared.

Kong Rui saw her mentor sitting upright on the half-collapsed soft couch.

From his nonchalant look, one couldn’t tell what had just happened in the room.

However, the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth still exposed the fact that he had just been injured.

Since her mentor didn’t want to be seen in such a sorry state, she didn’t mention what had happened just now. She only changed the topic and asked, “Why were you in the mood to refine pills here today?”

“How did you know that I was refining pills?” The old man seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and asked Kong Rui in surprise.

Kong Rui opened her mouth, but swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

Her mentor clearly didn’t want to mention what had just happened, so she might as well be more tactful.

“I smelled the medicinal fragrance in this room and thought that you must be refining some secret medicine, mentor.”

Upon hearing this, the old man revealed a smug smile. “You’re quite smart!

You’re much better than my other silly disciple!”

“Here! This is for you!” With that, the old man pushed a small medicine box in front of Kong Rui.

Kong Rui didn’t reach for it immediately. Instead, she looked at the old man in confusion.

The old man pursed his lips before saying to Kong Rui, “Don’t you want to take revenge on that old man from the Nie family? This thing might be able to help you!”

After Kong Rui picked up the medicine box, she lowered her head and sniffed it gently.

Then, she opened the medicine box in surprise, picked up the pill, and examined it again.

Although she had a basic understanding of pharmacology, she had specifically researched spiritual herbs that could subdue Nie Lin because she wanted to take revenge on him.

In particular, how to aggravate the poison in his body was something she had researched painstakingly these past few days..
