Hearing the deeper meaning in Lu Zijia's words, Du He immediately understood. "Lass, you're really a little fox. People have to be wary of you!"

Lu Zijia blinked innocently. "Even though the little fox is very cute, Dean, my body is really human!"

Du He: "…" He wasn't discussing the main body with this girl. This girl really knew how to talk nonsense.

In the Alchemy Department, the office of the President of the Alchemist Institute.

"Master, these are five Wood Spirit Fruits."

As soon as Helian Qiguang returned to the Alchemy Hall, he immediately handed all five Wood Spirit Fruits to Liao Zhenshan.

However, Liao Zhenshan wasn't satisfied.

"Why are there only five?"

Liao Zhenshan glanced at the seemingly ordinary green fruit on the table and said with obvious displeasure.

Helian Qiguang's face turned slightly pale and he tried to explain, "Master, Lu Zijia doesn't have much Wood Spirit Fruit either, so…"

"Hmph!"

Before Helian Qiguang finished explaining, Liao Zhenshan snorted coldly. "More than a month ago, that girl had more than 50 Wood Spirit Fruits, but you only brought back five for me now. Qiguang, is this what you mean by not disappointing me?!"

Sensing Liao Zhenshan's anger, Helian Qiguang instantly knelt on one knee. "Master, calm down. I'm useless. I've disappointed you."

Helian Qiguang knew that at this point, he could only admit his mistake. Otherwise, it would only make his master hate him even more, and he wouldn't even put him in an important position anymore.

Thinking of the consequences, Helian Qiguang's hatred for Lu Zijia and the others instantly rose to another level.

"You've indeed disappointed me." Liao Zhenshan sighed slightly.

Then, when Helian Qiguang revealed a defeated look, he suddenly changed the topic. "However, under such circumstances, it's already not bad that you can bring back five Wood Spirit Fruits."

Helian Qiguang heard that and his originally defeated look instantly turned into hope.

"Alright, let's leave this matter at that. Next, study alchemy well and strive to advance to a high-level Mystic Rank alchemist as soon as possible."

After saying that, Liao Zhenshan waved his hand, indicating that Helian Qiguang could leave.

Helian Qiguang thought of Lu Zijia and an extremely determined look flashed in his eyes. "Yes, Master. I'll definitely become a high-level Mystic Rank alchemist as soon as possible!"

After Helian Qiguang left, a graceful figure walked out from behind a bookshelf.

"Grandpa, if Helian Qiguang didn't mess this up in advance, he definitely wouldn't have only gotten five Wood Spirit Fruits. Grandpa, why are you still praising him?" Liao Sisi walked out from behind the bookshelf and frowned in disagreement.

Liao Zhenshan put away four of the Wood Spirit Fruits and held the remaining one in his hand, as if he was looking at it seriously.

"He's still a good seedling. Besides, he has the Helian family behind him."

Speaking of this, Liao Zhenshan glanced at his granddaughter and said, "As long as you haven't won Mu Tianyan's heart, Helian Qiguang will be your future Dao companion."

There was obvious resistance in Liao Sisi's eyes. "Grandpa, I don't like Helian Qiguang at all."

In her opinion, Helian Qiguang was not outstanding at all.

Even though Helian Qiguang was a mid-level Mystic Rank alchemist, his success rate was pitifully low. Most of the time, he couldn't even earn back the cost of the spiritual plants.

Even half of his cultivation level was built on pills.

Such a useless person wasn't worthy of her at all!
