Chapter 685
Jiang Chen was going to leave, but he noticed the way Ji Yinyi was looking at
him . She seemed to wait for him to change his mind .
"I told you I was being chased . Why do you still want to go with me? Could
you tell me why?" Jiang Chen said .
He didn't want to be cheated, but if Ji Yinyi needed his help, he certainly
would love to pay her back for having saved him .
What a smart guy .
Ji Yinyi didn't expect him to pose her such a question . She felt ashamed,
since she did need help .
Although she was a Celestial Venerable, many things didn't depend on state .
"You know why I took such a great risk to travel through the Desolate
Forbidden Land with my sister?"
"No . "
Jiang Chen was confused, too . However, he hadn't asked about it since it was
her privacy .
"My younger sister has a great talent for panaceas . She can refine panaceas
at home only by consulting a panacea book . "
Jiang Chen could be persuaded by reason, but couldn't be cowed by force .
However, not sure about his temper, Ji Yinyi had to tell him the truth, "As her
elder sister, of course I can't see her talent wasted . "
"I can understand you," Jiang Chen said .
He glanced at Ji Ruxue, surprised that she had such a great talent, since
women usually wouldn't know panaceas so well .
Otherwise, why were alchemists mostly men?
"The big desolate land we are in is stronger than dozens of small desolate
lands all together . There are many branches of the Nine Territories and Ten
Prefectures in the city we are heading for, including the Elixir Association . "
"This alchemists' organization is well-known in the Three Middle Realms .
Even the Spirit from the Eight Realms have to show them respect . "
"I went there once to visit a master alchemist of the Elixir Association . I told
him about my sister . "
"He was very interested in meeting my sister in person, so he asked me to
take her there to meet him . That's how you and us met . "
Jiang Chen was puzzled by her story . He still didn't get what she was
implying .
Could the two sisters already know he was a master alchemist?
Ji Yinyi knew Jiang Chen was confused, but she was too embarrassed to tell
him the rest of the story .
"However, that master's grandson was intrigued by my sister's beauty . He
kept bothering her, unwilling to give up courting her . For my sake, my sister
couldn't refuse him directly, so she lied to him . She told him she was already
engaged . "
Ji Ruxue resolved his puzzle .
"You want me to pretend to be your fiancé? The thing is I'm only a Spiritual
Venerable," Jiang Chen said in a self-mocking tone .
"That bastard is a Spiritual Venerable, too . You are in a great desolate land .
Your state isn't what matters most anymore . It's you background that plays a
more important role," Ji Ruxue went on .
"Stop talking so rude!" Ji Yinyi said sternly .
Ji Ruxue was struck dumb . She stuck her tongue out, and then she said, "I
mean the master's grandson . "
"Do you want your younger sister to study with that master?" Jiang Chen said
curiously .
"No . I suppose an alchemist allocated to a great desolate land can't be very
good . He could jeopardize my sister's future . I only hope he can recommend
my sister to join the Elixir Association . "
Jiang Chen nodded . He said, "Actually, you don't have to go to the trouble of
asking him a favor . If this is the case, I actually can do something for you . I'm
very skilled in refining elixirs . "
He was telling the truth, however, the two sisters glanced at each other, not
convinced at all .
They thought Jiang Chen had made a joke, so they just smiled at him .
"I can do you this favor . It's nothing complicated . As to the disguise, I can
manage it myself . "
As he spoke, his body started to distort like a clay figurine in a craftsman's
hands . He kept changing rapidly, and soon, he was another person .
"From now on, you can call me Young Master Wind," Jiang Chen said .
Jiang Chen knew the trend in the Three Middle Realms . The folks here liked
to add the title Young Master to their names .
For example, Young Master Blood Moon, Young Master Xuanji and Young
