Chapter 268: Truth (2)
In the potion room
Mo Fei gently stroked the Golden Leaf Flower, gasping in admiration.
“Young master, this flower is so beautiful.” Mo Fei couldn’t help praising it.
Mo Fei smiled, “Beautiful is not its only feature. This is a kind of level seven star herbs, which could be made into Mingjin potions. This kind of potion could increase the possibility by thirty percent for a star magician with golden attributes advancing to level seven.”
Mo Yi popped out his eyes, “Young master, you can’t act on impulse! Qian Ye already could bewitch Prince Yu now. If he makes it to level seven, no one is his rival then!”
Mo Fei, “...”
He locked the Golden Leaf Flower in the box and said to Mo Yi, “We should focus on the potions. After receiving his gift, we should work for him.”
Mo Yi nodded, “Yeah, sure.”
Qian Ye, who was taken as a dreadful monster by Mo Yi, now was staying in his dorm playing with the bunny.
Suddenly someone knocked at the door, Qian Ye raised his head, thinking: Since when have I become so popular? So many people keep visiting me!
“Come on in!”
Lou Yu then walked in casually, looking a bit stiff.
After knowing that Qian Ye was his ‘father-in-law’, every time Lou Yu saw Qian Ye, he would feel some unspoken pressure.
Qian Ye raised his brows, looking at Lou Yu with great interest, “Oh, it’s Prince Yu. What brings you here?”
Lou Yu closed the door and walked to Qian Ye, “Actually I special came...to apologize.”
Qian Ye couldn’t believe his ears, staring at Lou Yu. Lou Yu just said the word apologize? He said apologize? Oh my! What did Lou Yu the asshole call me before? Asshole! Idiot! Monster!
Ah! What did this guy just say? He said he came to apologize to me!? Alas! This world is really changing fast! Too fast!
Qian Ye laughed hard, body shaking, saying while looking at Lou Yu lustfully, “So you are here to apologize to me!”
Looking at Qian Ye’s meaningful smile, Lou Yu said awkwardly, “I know I have been holding a bad attitude towards you. I was too rude. But I can change, I promise.”
“Change? How are you gonna change?” Qian Ye asked him unhurriedly, legs crossed.
“I will show my respect to you. I will never go against you. And I will also never go against you uniting with others. I will respect you like how I respect my grandpa.” said Lou Yu.
Qian Ye held his hands before his chest, nodded, “That sounds not bad. Remember! Write a guarantee and send it to me. Oh! Don’t forget the fingerprint!”
Lou Yu was caught in a daze, face going totally stiff, “OK.”
Seeing Lou Yu was so well-behaved today, Qian Ye only felt kind of weird.
“This is a humble gift for you.” Lou Yu then handed a golden box to Qian Ye.
After receiving the thing from Lou Yu’s hands, Qian Ye was surprised.
It was two pieces of Mingyan purple gold. Star magicians of gold attributes could strengthen their power through all kinds of metals. Common metals would not help a lot for them, but the rare metals like Mingyan purple gold would be of great help.
“Hmm, not bad. I like it. I only wish there’d be more.” said Qian Ye.
Lou Yu felt much relieved, “As long as you like it. If you want rare metals, I can try to collect some other kinds for you.”

Qian Ye looked at Lou Yu gratifyingly, “Prince Yu, you are so handsome. I know you’d be very promising. Sit. Why do you look a bit tense?”
Lou Yu pursed his lips and sat on the opposite side of Qian Ye.
Qian Ye blinked, “Feifei was a potion talent since he was young and enjoyed great popularity. You know that?”
Lou Yu nodded, “I can imagine.”
Qian Ye then lamented, “You can imagine he is a genius. But you can not imagine how talented he is. Let me put it this way. When he was eighteen, he worked a new kind of potion. After its efficacy was released, two big forces wanted to cozy up to him. But finally the people both sides sent for negotiation with Feifei met in his lab...”
“And then?” asked Lou Yu with curiosity.
Qian ye shook his head, “After they met, they started to bid. I bet you would never guess how high their price was. The money of selling you cannot be worth of a small fraction of their offer...”
“And then?” asked Lou Yu, eyes wide open.
“After the bidding, those two sides had a heated fight in Feifei’s lab. All dust in the air. And finally, Feifei died in their fight. I happened to look for Feifei that day, and unfortunately I also died...”
Lou Yu nodded, “So that’s the whole story.”
Qian Ye held his chin, “That’s almost like that.”
Lou Yu then looked at Qian Ye with great gratitude, “Thank you for your tips.”
“There is one thing I think I need to explain to you.” said Qian Ye helplessly, head tilted.
“What is it?” asked Lou Yu.
Qian Ye sighed, “I am not Feifei’s father, but his elder brother.”
“But Feifei said...”
Qian Ye rolled his eyes, “I know. Feifei said I should be in charge of his marriage. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like the father. Of course I should be responsible for it.”
Lou Yu lowered his head, feeling a bit sullen. Mo Fei was so bad. He knew that I had mistaken him but he didn’t explain it, which made me lose my face here. So embarrassing!
