Chapter 346: 346: Want to Set a Trap? You Need Sincerity

Even Jiang Xiaobai understood what the siblings were wary of – feeling that they were simply being used.

Considering this, Jiang Xiaobai chuckled and shook his head: “I want to cultivate you purely because your talent is too great to be wasted. You don’t need to be my disciple or anything. I won’t teach you everything, just the basics, so you can have systematic learning.”

Hearing this, Song Yu’s brows furrowed tightly: “So, you’re just this kind-hearted?”

“I truly don’t believe that you can possess such good intentions.” On the sidelines, Song Xi sneered sarcastically.

Jiang Xiaobai stared at the siblings in front of him and slightly shook his head.

In this day and age, such behavior will undoubtedly invoke doubts. Even though Jiang Xiaobai proposed such attractive conditions, becoming an alchemist requires a lot of resources!

Simply put, a lone wanderer could never become an alchemist entirely by his own efforts. Apart from possessing exceptional talent, substantial resources are required to produce potions. How is it possible to gather these resources otherwise?

If anyone else was standing in front of Jiang Xiaobai today, they might tear up in gratitude and immediately accept the offer once Jiang Xiaobai said this.

However, the two people in front of him were tough nuts to crack.

“Actually, there aren’t many individuals that I look upon so highly. As you both are well aware, my status isn’t something to be trifled with. To dare to refuse me, aren’t you pushing the boundaries?”

AnRan immediately started yelling at the siblings.

Following this, Jiang Xiaobai saw an ‘I-knew-it’ expression on their faces, leaving him speechless.

Were they really perceiving them as pampered disciples from a great force who liked to bully others?

For a while, there was absolute silence in the room. Everyone fell quiet.

The Song siblings were on tenterhooks, vigilantly observing the surroundings and constantly calculating their options if Jiang Xiaobai suddenly decided to attack them and how they could make their escape.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai kept mulling over whether he should seek the assistance of these two brats or not.

After having got to know them a little, he had a very favorable impression of the siblings, particularly acknowledging their talent for having fought and struggled to reach their current position.

Their background may be humble, but their abilities were not something to be looked down upon, they were entirely dissimilar to the disciples of the clans.

“This is a bit tricky.”

Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself. He then looked up at Song Yu: “Are you really unwilling?”

“Humph, there’s nothing for us to discuss. Either let us go now, or kill us now. Don’t even think about making us work for you.” Song Yu scoffed.

Under such circumstances, he was a hard nut to crack and did not seem to budge at all.

After giving it some thought, Jiang Xiaobai nodded: “Alright, you can go.”

“However, if you dare reveal even a single word about what you witnessed here today, well, consider the consequences.”

Regardless, Jiang Xiaobai admitted to being the mysterious craftsman of Clarifying Elixir. If this news got out, it would most likely create uproar across the East region. Every force outside Dragon Valley would come searching for Jiang Xiaobai.

He was not yet ready to bear such pursuit.

Song Yu nodded, “You may rest assured, we siblings may not be noble, but we despise stooping to such lowly acts.”

“Very well, you may leave now.”

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, the siblings were taken slightly aback, cautiously eying Jiang Xiaobai and the two high-level Dividing the gods masters in the room. Then, they gritted their teeth and headed towards the exit.

There was no obstruction, and they managed to walk out of the Wu An Line without any hindrance.

For a moment, the siblings felt like they were dreaming. Was their exit this easy?

The two exchanged glances, didn’t dare to linger around any longer, and quickly disappeared into the crowd for fear that Jiang Xiao Bai would change his mind.

Within the secret chamber of the Wu An Line, AnRan looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a puzzled expression.

“Boss, why did you let them go? Don’t you need them?”

“Indeed, I need them, but remember, Fatty, a coerced melon is not sweet.”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and sighed: “I am not trying to use them, I really need them. When considering them as partners, we must never force or be unwilling, that will definitely lead to trouble.”

“For instance, you and I have been through life and death together. Honestly, did I ever coerce you into anything?”

After hearing this, AnRan thoughtfully nodded his head.

Indeed, he learned a lot from the boss today!

But then he had second thoughts: “Wait, Boss. So, you just let them leave like this. Do you certainly have other plans afterwards?”

He knew Jiang Xiaobai was very cunning, he would unknowingly fall into his trap. Maybe those two brats had already fallen into Jiang Xiaobai’s scheme.

However, Jiang Xiaobai just gave a faint smile and refrained from commenting further.

Where was there any scheme?

Since ancient times, genuine sincerity is priceless, and it takes strategy to win hearts.

But the prerequisite for strategy is, you need to be sincere!

Ignoring all these messy things, Jiang Xiaobai started indulging in fine wine and food with AnRan at the Wu An Line. The day passed refreshingly.

This refreshing day came to an end towards the evening. While they were enjoying drinks, a middle-aged man suddenly barged into their secret chamber.

“Young Master, the Master and Mistress request you to return home.”

This middle-aged man came and left like a shadow. The two of them hadn’t sensed anything before he spoke and had given them quite a fright.

“Damn, Uncle Fu, next time, could you please not sneak up on us like this?”

AnRan frantically patted his chest: “You could scare someone to death!”

Uncle Fu’s expression remained indifferent, without any apparent fluctuation. He just stood there, staring at AnRan.

Bearing such scrutiny, AnRan felt uncomfortable.

“Alright, alright. I got it, Uncle Fu. I’ll go back right away.”

“Furthermore, the Master and Mistress have commanded me to bring this young friend along.” Uncle Fu added.

“Rest assured, this is my boss. I will definitely bring him to meet that old guy. You go ahead, Uncle Fu. We’ll pack up and follow.”

“Nope, the Master specifically instructed me to personally see you off.”

“You!”

AnRan got agitated and jumped up but there was nothing he could do.

Helpless as he was, Uncle Fu had been overseeing him since he was a child. AnRan did respect him quite a lot.

Finally, AnRan, with his head down in dejection, left the secret chamber along with Uncle Fu. Jiang Xiaobai followed them with a smile on his face.

In a short while, they all reached a grand mansion, the An Family residence.

People were already waiting for them at the entrance, and the scene looked extraordinarily solemn.

“Welcome home, Young Master!”
