"Emperor Beichen is really impressive. I was right to have high expectations of him!" Xiao Hei said proudly. He had always believed in Emperor Beichen, and now it was proven that his judgment was spot on.
Xiao Bai nodded in agreement, "Emperor Beichen successfully married our master, and he is not someone to be criticized. Haha."
Seeing the smug expressions of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, the white lion also nodded in agreement.
As long as Emperor Beichen treats their master well, it had no objections.
Xia Zhiqing's face was filled with a joyful smile. "Hongzhuang, this is so satisfying!"
"I already thought it was too lenient to just make Gu Cangyun compensate. But I never expected that he would die, and he deserved it!"
Suddenly, Xia Zhiqing's gaze changed, and she looked at Baili Hongzhuang with a slightly eerie look. "Hongzhuang, could it be that you killed Gu Cangyun?"
Baili Hongzhuang looked at Xia Zhiqing and shook her head, "It wasn't me."
She did plan to take action, but she hadn't done anything yet. Someone had already taken care of the trouble before her.
"Oh," Xia Zhiqing nodded. "That old guy was so detestable that it's normal for someone who didn't like him to kill him."
Baili Hongzhuang smiled sarcastically, "Indeed, that kind of disrespectful old man probably subjected many young people to his insults."
"Now Dai Zhiman's days won't be easy. Today, I heard many people say that Gu Cangyun framed you solely for Wei Meidai's sake. Although Wei Meidai has talent as an alchemist, with Gu Cangyun dead, her reputation isn't good, and finding another master won't be easy."
"She brought it upon herself."
Baili Hongzhuang's gaze was cold and chilling. Wei Meidai's current situation was entirely self-inflicted.
Originally, she had no intention of taking action against Wei Meidai. It was Wei Meidai who wanted to join forces with Ling Jiaxin and others to target her.
Since she had taken action, she should be prepared to face the consequences.
Wei Meidai's current predicament could only be attributed to her own actions.
"In a little while, they should come to compensate you for the emotional distress. I'm really curious about Wei Meidai's current appearance!" Xia Zhiqing's face was filled with excitement. Compared to Wei Meidai's arrogant and triumphant face, she wanted to see Wei Meidai's tearful and desperate expression.
...
In reality, Wei Meidai was truly at a loss for words.
After being scolded by her master yesterday, she returned to her residence. Just the thought of having to compensate Baili Hongzhuang for reputation damages the next day made her feel depressed.
If she had known this, she wouldn't have agreed to Ling Jiaxin and the others' stupid plan!
If it weren't for Ling Jiaxin and the others, she wouldn't be in this situation!
She spent the whole night lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep due to her anger. She finally fell asleep in the early morning, but she was soon awakened by someone delivering a message.
She had planned to scold the person who brought the message but was stunned by the news she heard.
Her master had died?
He actually died!
Until now, she couldn't fully accept this fact.
The changes that had occurred in just one day were too significant. Her master had died, so... what should she do?
Without her master's guidance, she couldn't continue on the path of being an alchemist. If she were to find another master, who would be willing to take her as a disciple?
