Arriving at the entrance of the hall, the atmosphere was indeed heavy. Ling Siwen sat in a high position, his expression calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Ling Mo Xie remained unfazed as he stepped into the hall at a leisurely pace, casually saying, "Oh! So many people are waiting for me! Come on, what do you want to do to me this time? Hmm?" As he spoke, he scanned the seated individuals with a cold smile, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly in a disdainful smirk.
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Ling Qilong was the first to step forward, speaking with an imposing tone, "Hmph! Ling Mo Xie! You dare to secretly embezzle the family's elixirs and sell them for spirit stones? Do you know your crime?" He pretended to wear an expression of anger and disappointment as he looked at Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie thought to himself that the look of disappointment was fake, but the anger on his face was likely genuine!
The elders standing with Ling Qilong wore smug smiles as they looked at Ling Mo Xie. They were eager to see how this would unfold; after all, this was a serious family taboo. They didn't believe that Ling Siwen would protect Ling Mo Xie this time!
Last time, although Ling Siwen punished Ling Mo Xie by sending him to Chengqi Valley, Ling Mo Xie not only came out unscathed but also defeated Tian Wuxin. The elders believed that Ling Siwen had covered for Ling Mo Xie and must have prepared something good for him in Chengqi Valley.
Ling Mo Xie's aunt was also present, looking at him with concern. Meanwhile, Ling Siwen's expression remained unchanged from his high seat, making it difficult to discern his thoughts.
Ling Mo Xie glanced around at everyone present and suddenly burst into wild laughter. His laughter was so unrestrained that it made Ling Qilong uneasy. "What are you laughing at?" he asked.
"Haha! What am I laughing at? You ask me what I'm laughing at? I'm laughing at the Ling family of Tianfeng City’s three Big Families—just a bunch of fools who only know how to fight among themselves! I'm laughing at your childishness! Naturally, I'm laughing at your ridiculousness!" Ling Mo Xie declared loudly, glaring fiercely at Ling Qilong, who instinctively took a step back in fear, prompting even more laughter from Ling Mo Xie.
"Alright, Little Seven, what they said has witnesses! I don't believe you would do such a thing either, but you better explain yourself!" said Ling Siwen flatly without any change in expression.
Ling Mo Xie paused and replied, "Explain? You want an explanation? Fine! Today I will give you one! I did indeed sell elixirs!" Before he could finish speaking, the elders on Ling Qilong's side began stroking their beards and laughing, addressing Ling Siwen: "Head of the family! Look, he admits it himself! If we don't expel him from the Ling family this time, it won't be good for our authority!"
"Hmph! You think you can just expel me from the Ling family like that? I haven't finished speaking yet, and you're already eager to make decisions for the head of the family?" Ling Mo Xie said coldly with a sneer, his tone icy enough to make several elders feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Let Little Seven finish!" Ling Siwen stood up excitedly without even looking at Ling Mo Xie, telling him to leave the Ling Family in front of several Elders, expressionless.
Ling Mo Xie glanced around the hall at the various expressions of the crowd and said cheerfully, "But the Elixir I sell did not come from the Ling Family!"
"Where did it come from if not from the Ling Family! Don't try to argue!" Second Elder said eagerly. Another Elder chimed in, "What Second Elder said is right! Ling Mo Xie, stop being unreasonable! Just admit it! Otherwise, where did your Elixir come from? Speak up!"
"Heh heh!" Ling Mo Xie squinted at Second Elder and said, "Since you all want to know so much, let me tell you! That Elixir was naturally refined by me!"
As soon as Ling Mo Xie said this, the hall erupted into chaos.
"Master! Look at how he argues so strongly; shouldn't you deal with him?"
"Exactly! He's just a young child, daring to boast that he can refine pills! It's truly laughable!"
"Grandfather! You can't be biased! Little Seven claims he can refine pills; such an outrageous lie! You must punish him severely! If refining pills were that easy, would our Ling Family need to spend a fortune hiring Old Zhou as our Alchemist!?" Ling Qilong quickly added to Ling Siwen.
However, Ling Siwen did not heed their one-sided opinions. Instead, his eyes sparkled as he asked Ling Mo Xie, "Little Seven, are you saying you can refine pills?"
"Of course!" There was nothing to hide if he wanted to make a name for himself in Skywind City.
Only then did Ling Siwen glance at the Elders who were staring at him, expecting him to immediately punish Ling Mo Xie. He cleared his throat and said, "Well, since Little Seven claims he can refine pills, why not give him a chance? Prepare an empty room for him!"
Then he turned to ask Ling Mo Xie, "Little Seven, what kind of pill can you refine?"
"The Spring Breeze Transformation Pill!” Ling Mo Xie replied but did not mention that he could also refine the third-level Fury Pill.
"Alright! How about this: we'll prepare the materials for the Spring Breeze Transformation Pill for you, and you can temporarily keep the Storage Ring with me. You can go to the room and refine a batch yourself to prove it to them. What do you think?" Ling Siwen suggested, provoking a wave of dissatisfaction among the Elders on Ling Qilong's side.
"Sure!" Ling Mo Xie nodded in agreement, knowing that his current strength was insufficient to confront this powerful family.
Soon, Ling Mo Xie left the Storage Ring with Ling Siwen and entered the empty room prepared for him with the materials for refining the Spring Breeze Transformation Pill.
"Hmph! It's really cleaned out! They only left an Alchemical Furnace!" Ling Mo Xie glanced around the room; aside from the Alchemical Furnace in the center, there was nothing else.
"Pah! If you have the ability, take this Alchemical Furnace away too! I don't even need a furnace to refine pills!" Ling Mo Xie muttered unhappily as he opened the alchemy interface and directly clicked the button to refine the Spring Breeze Transformation Pill. A progress bar appeared below.
Ling Mo Xie stretched lazily, found a corner, and sat down against the wall to take a nap. The system's alchemy only took a few minutes, while people in this world typically needed quite some time for alchemy. Ling Mo Xie didn't want to attract too much attention, so he planned to sleep for a bit before going out; that should be just about right!
While Ling Mo Xie was sound asleep, those waiting outside were anxious. The Elders of Ling Qilong's faction were skeptical yet impatient as they saw that Ling Mo Xie dared to enter and refine pills. Meanwhile, Ling Siwen looked hopefully at the closed door, her hands turning pale from gripping tightly.
In addition to the Ling Family, there was an old man with white hair sitting on a chair outside, leisurely sipping tea. He disdainfully remarked, "A mere child still wet behind the ears can refine pills? I advise you not to hold out too much hope!" Upon hearing his mocking words, Ling Siwen did not retort. Although this old man was only at the mid-stage of Heart Movement, he was the only Alchemist of the Ling Family—Second-Rank Alchemist Zhou Lao.
