Bab 29: Chapter 29: Ao Yan is Stabbed

The Third Elder was known for his love of alcohol, often seen lounging with a gourd of wine, a fact Jiang Xiaobai had noticed.

Presented with fine wine now, the hand that the Third Elder raised to drink inevitably came down.

"Humph, wise of you to know my tastes."

The Third Elder then proceeded to question Jiang Xiaobai on how he, a mere mortal, had learned to concoct elixirs. Jiang Xiaobai gave the same old excuse, which the Third Elder had no doubts about.

"No wonder your cultivation talent is so formidable. You're truly an exceptional genius."

Hearing this, the Third Elder was awed. He readily linked both observations together.

Seeing the Third Elder's reaction, Jiang Xiaobai was overjoyed.

He felt that his plan was being perfectly executed thus far.

Ao Cheng, the Third Elder, and even Ao Yan, had all been coaxed, providing him a certain level of protection within Dragon Valley.
