877. Does He Always Praise People That Way (1)

Cheng Mobai wide opened his eyes with disbelief, “Mo Fei, what did you say? You mean you want to negotiate with those bad fat suckers of the Pharmacists’ Association?”

Mo Fei nodded, “Yes!”

“No! My disciple, how can you do this to yourself?” Cheng Mobai sulked.

Mo Fei showed the whites of his eyes, “Shifu, I’m just going to negotiate, not to ask for my death, why do you look so nervous?”

“My disciple, you are so young, have such smooth skin, and so inexperienced, you are never the match of those cunning old foxes!” Cheng Mobai waved his hand while saying disapprovingly.

Mo Fei smiled awkwardly and said, “Well, I’ve been thinking about that too, but I think I’ll get something useful if I suffer a bit loss.”

Cheng Mobai looked at him grumpily, “A bit loss? If you are not careful enough, you may suffer a big loss!”

Zhao Hou crossed his arms, thoughtfully saying, “Maybe I can help and win more interests for Mo Fei.”

Cheng Mobai nodded, “Yes, yes, yes, Mo Fei, this guy is bad enough that he even grows sores on the soles of his feet and suppurates over his head. He is definitely bad enough. It’s a good choice to let him go negotiate for you.”

Zhao Hou, “…” is Cheng Mobai praising me? Does this guy often praise people that way?

Mo Fei, eyes sparkling, looked at Zhao Hou, saying with a bright smile, “Senior Zhao, sorry to trouble you then.”

Zhao Hou touched his beard, nodded while saying, “Well, rest assured, I will strive for the greatest interests for you.”

“Thank you then, senior Zhao.” Mo Fei cupped his hands.

With the help of Zhao Hou, Mo Fei got a lot of useful things in exchange for what he had learned in the Stone Tablets Woods.

“This ancient book is very precious!” Xiao Chen looked at the book in his hand.

Mo Fei nodded, “Yes! I was very inspired by what is inside.”

The contents of the Stone Tablet Woods were thought-inspiring, profound, and mysterious, but they were written so long ago that many of the herbs had died out and their properties had changed, and some of the things they contained were no longer applicable now.

“In fact, those old men are not totally good for nothing.” Mo Fei said.

Xiao Chen looked at Mo Fei and said, “Why?”

Mo Fei smiled, “yesterday I had a rough talk with those old men, and I learned a lot.”

Although those old men’s thoughts were a little rigid, they had solid enough foundation and were really well-informed. Those places Mo Fei couldn’t understand, after their tips, he instantly felt enlightened. And both sides set aside the prejudices against each other, so it was a pleasant talk.

Cheng Mobai looked Zhao Hou up and down, “Mo Fei said you are something and helped him a lot.”

Zhao Hou smiled, “Oh come on, he really overpraised me.”

Cheng Mobai made a twitch of his mouth, “People all said you are bad enough, so it’s true!”

Zhao Hou, “…”

“Brother Cheng, when do you think your disciple can work out the antidote of the Soul-killing potion?” asked Zhao Hou tentatively.

Cheng Mobai scratched his head, “How would I know? Even Mo Fei himself wouldn’t know.”

Zhao Hou sighed lightly and said, “I really don’t know how long I can live.”

“You don’t have to worry, you’ll be fine.” Cheng Mobai said without thinking.

Zhao Hou looked at Cheng Mobai with surprise, “Brother Cheng, it sounds like you have a lot of confidence in your disciple!”

Cheng Mobai said disapprovingly, “I have confidence in you. What does it have anything to do with him?”

Zhao Hou looked at Cheng Mobai, confused, “You have confidence in me?”

Cheng Mobai nodded, “Hmm, of course. As the saying goes, a good person wouldn’t live long, but a bad person may long live down history. You are an absolute disaster! Of course you’ll live long!”

Zhao Hou, “…”

…

After the few heavenly class pharmacists got Mo Fei’s research notebooks on Soul-killing potion, they successively launched three or four strange potions similar with the potion Mo Fei refined the second time.

“Mo Fei, the association is having their days. Those heavenly class masters now all take their side.” Said Xiao Chen.

Mo Fei smiled and said like he didn’t care at all, “Really? So fast, it seems that those old men are really efficient.”
