Chapter 130: Beautiful and Beautiful Dreams
byFacing the death stare of two of the most powerful women in the Rose, Old Wang tried to maintain a humble smile on his face. This was a long shot, and he wasn't allowed to move, making him feel a bit uncomfortable and stuffy. Luo Yan's speed today was really slow...
Finally, Yin Fu arrived, and hearing her melodious voice, Old Wang’s heart nearly melted. She was indeed his beloved little junior sister.
"President Karida, Dean Famaer." Seeing Wang Feng standing aside, Yin Fu’s face lit up with joy, and she winked at him discreetly.
"Yin Fu, we need to ask you something," Karida said with a smile. "Wang Feng claims he sold a potion called 'Unusual Feeling' to you. Is this true? When did it happen?"
Without hesitation, Yin Fu nodded. "About one and a half months ago. It was a new potion invented by my senior brother."
Famaer, who had been ready to explode, paused. The incident with the Eye of the Sea happened about half a month ago. According to this timeline, Wang Feng’s potion came first.
She frowned and asked before Karida could, "What were its effects? What happened when it was consumed?"
"It enhances soul perception to some extent," Yin Fu said with a smile. "Are you asking about the creator? I can assure you that my senior brother and I went to the Jinbeibei Trading Company together. The sea lion owner also mentioned this, and my senior brother is a VIP customer there."
"Cough, cough, junior sister, be modest, be modest," Old Wang hurriedly said. Modesty was easy to say, but the key was not to slip up. He could already feel Karida’s sharp gaze, and boasting in front of the boss was never a good idea.
Famaer was stunned and couldn’t help but ask again, "Did only you use it?"
Seeing Yin Fu’s expression upon entering, it was clear that she had a good relationship with Wang Feng. What if she was lying for him?
But unexpectedly, Yin Fu answered without hesitation, "Sister Lucky Heaven, Senior Brother Longmoer, and even Hei Wukai and Mo Tong have used it. Sister Lucky Heaven even wanted to buy Senior Brother Wang Feng’s formula."
As she spoke, she shook her head regretfully. "Unfortunately, my senior brother has already sold it."
Famaer was completely dumbfounded, her mouth agape.
If Yin Fu’s words were questionable due to her relationship with Wang Feng, what about Lucky Heaven?
Given Lucky Heaven’s status, influence, and personality, Famaer and the other mentors knew her better than ordinary Holy Sanctuary disciples. There was no way she would lie for Wang Feng!
Could it be... Wang Feng’s claim was true? Did he really invent the Eye of the Sea?!
Thinking about it, despite the danger and the risk of expulsion, he still chose to create the potion. Why?
This was true dedication, true passion for potions!
In an instant, Wang Feng’s image transformed from sleazy and sycophantic to humble, talented, and masterful. A master doesn’t care about fame but focuses on the path of mastery!
At this moment, Famaer understood. Luo Yan and Li Sitan weren’t just flattery-seekers; this person truly had talent. Her jealousy had blinded her. Even blowing up the entire Institute of Potions wouldn’t matter.
Potion masters can be replaced, but geniuses are rare.
He stood there with a modest smile, eyes downcast, not defending himself, exuding integrity.
Indeed, the more she looked, the more she realized he was quite handsome.
The timing was right, and Old Wang knew it was time to offer a way out.
"President Karida, Dean Famaer, I genuinely love potions," Old Wang said with a touch of sorrow. "But because of my excessive passion, I caused two accidents due to immature experiments. I deeply regret this!"
Not shying away from his mistakes, showing responsibility!
Famaer’s gaze softened. Masters have pride and couldn’t immediately change their stance too much. "Accidents during the development of new potions are common."
"So even though President Karida didn’t punish me, I decided to use all my savings to buy practice materials for the Institute of Potions!" Old Wang said passionately. "Not for anything else, but to slightly compensate for the inconvenience caused to my fellow students and to ease my conscience!"
Famaer was deeply moved!
Enduring misunderstandings and insults yet still thinking of repaying the Holy Sanctuary—what a noble spirit! How could Famaer bear to refuse?
"Wang Feng, you child!" Famaer said with a smile. "Even if you spent your own money, go to the Institute of Potions later and get reimbursed. I’ll make sure it’s taken care of. I misunderstood you before, don’t take it to heart. From now on, do as you wish in potion-making. Anyone who dares stop you, come to me!"
With that, Famaer became radiant and turned to Karida. "President Karida, I think allowing Wang Feng to leave the Institute of Potions was a mistake for us. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, we should admit our error. As mentors, we must set an example!"
"I suggest bringing Wang Feng back to the Institute of Potions immediately! We’ve made one mistake, and we cannot repeat it! Wang Feng, what do you think?"
Feeling the dean’s intense gaze, Old Wang humbly said, "Dean Famaer, although this is my wish, transferring departments is not something I can decide. I leave it to the president and dean."
Karida glanced at Old Wang and smiled. "Sister Famaer, let me consider this further."
"What’s there to consider!" Famaer frowned. "If it’s correcting an error, it should be done swiftly!"
Karida looked at Wang Feng and said, somewhat amused, "But Wang Feng is already part of two departments. Adding another would be overwhelming and unprecedented in our Holy Sanctuary."
Famaer paused. Non-combat professions require immense dedication, often taking a lifetime to master. To prevent Holy Sanctuary disciples from developing scattered skills, Temple Headquarters strictly limits them to one primary and one secondary field.
"I’ll talk to Li Sitan and Luo Yan!" Famaer said fervently. "They say runes and casting go hand in hand, so they shouldn’t mind giving us a spot!"
"Alright," Karida nodded. "If you can arrange it, I have no objections. Yin Fu, you may go now."
"Yes, Your Highness, Senior Brother, I’ll be off."
Wang Feng smiled and nodded. Relying on a junior sister was always a good choice.
Famaer left in high spirits, somewhat reluctant to part with Wang Feng. Finally, the office fell silent, and the atmosphere cooled.
Karida didn’t let him leave, so Old Wang didn’t dare move. Facing Karida’s death stare, he slowly got used to it, standing straight and rigid, a model soldier.
"Wang Feng, is the Holy Sanctuary too small for you?" Karida said calmly.
Damn, thought Old Wang silently. Always the same tactic, always trying to intimidate him, and he couldn’t resist. This brutal world was serious business.
"Sis Karida, how could it be? I consider the Holy Sanctuary my home. Besides, I just escaped death and took out two of the Nine Serpents’ assassins. Isn’t that fair?"
"You seem to misunderstand something. You’re here because your life belongs to me, so don’t try to settle accounts with me. If I hear this again, I’ll make sure you understand this clearly." Karida smiled slightly, and her aura made Old Wang feel suffocated.
Old Wang hurriedly nodded. "Brother Karida, that's not what I meant. I was just showing off a bit and trying to take credit in front of you."
Bitch, you win this time. We'll see who gets the last laugh!
"Enough talk! Where's the money?"
"What money?" Old Wang looked completely baffled.
"The money from selling the magic potion formula and what you earned from the Eight Tribes. Don't tell me you've spent it all." Karida smiled and rubbed her fingers together. "Your person is mine, and your money is mine too!"
Old Wang saw no hint of shame on Brother Karida's face, only a sense of entitlement. If I'm your person, why don't you ever ask me to keep you company at night?
"All the money went to you," Wang Feng said, looking surprised.
"When did you ever spend money on me!" Karida's voice turned stern. "Don't lie to me!"
It had to be said, Brother Karida was truly beautiful. Apart from Lucky Heaven, whose appearance she had never seen, Brother Karida was unmatched in beauty. Even when she acted up, she still looked stunning.
"Brother Karida, I fixed the car. You know about these things. It's the original model with modifications. From repairs to parts to labor, it cost over three hundred thousand. I'm not exaggerating; you can ask Senior Brother Li Sitan. I only rode it once before..."
"Alright, I get it!" Karida knew how difficult it was. When it was at the Rune Academy, she had asked about it. They abandoned it because it was too expensive. Who would have thought this guy actually fixed it? And... he spent his own money.
"...I'll let it slide for now." Karida said meaningfully. "I'll have Blue Sky keep an eye on you. If he finds out you're hiding my property, hahaha..."
"There's absolutely nothing hidden!" Old Wang declared firmly. "I, Wang Feng, have always treated money as dirt. My heart is set on serving you. Those material possessions, they come and go. Why hide them?"
Go ahead and search. Afraid you won't?
I'll deposit all the money into my card later. If Blue Sky finds even one coin in my house, I'll admit defeat!
