The Rebirth of the Legendary King
He's Very Important to You, isn't he?

"Fear of being forced into a lab every day?" Master Shangxuan was somewhat surprised by Ling's reply.

Ling sighed, "You don't know? Yesterday, Master Cai really wanted me to join his class. If he knew I was here, he would definitely be kinder to me when I return to the academy."

Master Shangxuan laughed. This was the first time he had looked so happy since arriving abroad. While Zhuo Shiaonian had been forgotten.

Zhuo Shiaonian clenched his hands tightly. Ever since he knew that Ling had likely come from the Potion God Association, Zhuo Shiaonian often found out about him. Especially when he knew there was an auction of potions with purity above 90% in Shadow City. He grew suspicious that Ling was the potion maker.

Now his suspicions are true.

However, Ling was not only a potion expert, but his talent was also much higher than his. He did not want to believe the outcome of this competition. From the beginning, he had already considered himself to be Master Shangxuan's disciple.

It turned out that everything he was proud of was nothing in front of Ling.

Currently, the results of the ranking announcement had already come out.

Zhuo Nan, Zhuo Kira, Zhuo Ai and the others waited anxiously.

"Why are you guys so relaxed? Why do you think Young Master Chen is so eager to win Master Shangxuan's heart? Is he going to use some weird method?" zhuo Ai asked Yuan.

"Do you really not trust Ling?" ask Yuan back.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but Young Master Chen has never learned a potion. Moreover, he is a sixth level cultivator," Zhuo Ai said. He looks worried.

However, Yuan simply smiled and did not reply.

The competition arena was sealed. So, the people outside did not know what was happening inside. When the ranking list came out, everyone immediately scrambled to see the name of the winner.

Wu Shao immediately searched for Zhuo Shiaonian's name. It turned out that he was in second place with a value of 200 points.

Who is first position?

Everyone looked up at the top name.

Chen Ling, 360 points.

Everyone felt choked up, including General Qiu. He knew that Ling was talented in potions. Ling once gave him five bottles of high-level potions on him. Therefore, he was on Ling's side. However, all this time he had always thought that Ling had a great potion teacher. It turned out that Ling himself made the potion.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the people, the examiner felt satisfied. Now it's not just him who's surprised.

He pretended to cough and said, "The first position is Young Master Chen. Other than him, Mr. Shangxuan will select 10 more people. It will be announced in a few days."

"Zhuo Kira ... Zhuo Kira .. tell me I heard wrong," said Zhuo Ai gulping.

Zhuo Kira and the others were silent as well. Only Yuan and Liam looked at each other and chuckled.

Wu Shao turned his gaze to the calm-looking Zhuo Xia, "Miss Zhuo, it seems like you are not surprised at all if Young Master Chen gets first position."

Zhuo Xia softly replied, "His luck is good."

Wu Shao said nothing more. He left with Zhuo Shiaonian.

When he passed by Ling, he stopped and looked at Ling inside, "Young Master Chen, I'm amazed by your acting skills."

Ling put one hand in his pocket and smiled, "You praise me too much."

Wu Shao did not continue to speak. It's goin. However, in his heart he felt very upset. Any luck? Who was as lucky as that to be able to write nine potion recipes and make them without fail though? Only Zhuo Xia could say that.

"Investigate Chen Ling's background. With him, maybe the next things will be more troublesome than imagined" Wu Shao said.

The man in black immediately went about his duties.

Wu Shao sat in the car with a frowning face. He received an incoming call, "The plan changed. I've checked. It was the power of Shadow City. Recently, they have also expanded abroad. They had many members, but no trace was left behind. They're the biggest threat now."

"Who are they? Only the power of Shadow City can scare you?" wu Shao replied.

The person on the phone sighed deeply, "I don't know. They have destroyed one of our fortresses and left the letter X. They can't touch us and we can't touch them either. Miss Zhuo Shiaonian has been to Shadow City. Maybe he knows something."

Wu Shao hung up the phone and called Zhuo Shiaonian.

The residence of General Qiu.

"Congratulations Mr. Shangxuan, you have received a genius disciple like Young Master Chen," said the crowd congratulating Mr. Shangxuan.

Master Shangxuan looked at Ling inside, "I didn't expect to receive such an outstanding disciple."

Ling just kept quiet and massaged his temple. There are too many people here and it's too noisy. He worked too hard to make potions. Now he feels a little dizzy.

"Why?" asked Zhuo Xia to approach him.

Ling looked at him and sighed, "Xia, I've unpacked my identity."

"Yes, this isn't the first time either. Hide the rest," Zhuo Xia replied with a smile.

"alright. I want to discuss something with Mr. Shangxuan. Wait for me," said Ling.

"Why are you looking for him?" zhuo Xia's tone of voice sounded displeased.

"He is the Master of potions. If I acknowledge him as my teacher, surely my potion skills will improve," Ling replied smilingly.

Ling just left.

He did want to see Mr. Shangxuan, but not to become his disciple. He remains on his goal from beginning to end.

"You said you didn't want to be my student? Wh why? Many overseas people desperately struggle to become my disciple," Master Shangxuan did not understand Ling's thoughts.

Ling smiled, "I don't have much time."

"Then why are you looking for me?" Master Shangxuan still felt disbelief.

"Help me save someone. General Qiu said if you will definitely not be willing to help me if I look for you directly. I have no choice but to do this" Ling replied.

Mr. Shangxuan shook his head and replied, "Sorry, I've sworn I won't save anyone anymore. Now I'm just gonna teach."

Ling did not expect Mr. Shangxuan's reply. It froze for a moment.

"Mr Shangxuan, are you sure?" ask Ling.

Master Shangxuan nodded. He sighed. When Ling got the first position, his expression still remained relaxed. He thought nothing could change Ling's expression. Apparently, the answer made a change to Ling.

Ling looked at Master Shangxuan with a serious expression, "Are you sure you won't save him?"

Master Shangxuan sighed and nodded back.

Ling took out his needle and pointed it at Mr. Shangxuan's neck, "What about this?"

Mr. Shangxuan was not afraid and simply shook his head, "If I can help, I will definitely help. Unfortunately, I swore I would never save anyone again."

Ling did not answer or smile. It's out.

As the door opened, he saw Zhuo Xia leaning against the door and crossing his arms. He doesn't wear fancy clothes. She just wears a regular dress. He looked at Ling with a deep look.

Ling was a little clumsy, "Xia."

Zhuo Xia felt that Ling's voice sounded different. But he said nothing. He stepped forward and held Ling's hand. His gaze was much warmer. He gently touched Ling's face, "It's okay, let's go back."

Ling nodded.

Mr. Shangxuan followed Ling out. He was shocked when he saw Zhuo Xia clasping his arm into Ling's hand and gave him a very cold look.

"Chen Ling, is the person you want to save Miss Zhuo?" ask Mr. Shangxuan.

Ling turned to look at Master Shangxuan. He did not speak and just nodded.

Mr. Shangxuan was silent again.

*

After much effort and successfully meeting Mr. Shangxuan, Ling was rejected. He felt it was a nightmare. He was back in trouble with his mind. He couldn't believe it if there was no other way than Mr. Shangxuan.

After arriving home, Ling climbed upstairs, "I'll take a shower first. The smell of the medicinal ingredients is too pungent."

Voice within. The people there immediately nodded. They knew Ling was in a bad mood. So they didn't say anything.

Right now, the elder walked in and shouted, "Zhuo Kira!"

However, when he realized that there was Zhuo Xia there, he felt like he had lost his voice.

Zhuo Xia did not say anything and went upstairs.

After he left, then elder Zhuo returned to speak, "What's wrong with Miss Zhuo? Why does his gaze seem to want to pounce on me?"

"I don't know. There is something strange. Oh, elder, why are you here?" ask Zhuo Ai.

The elder instantly remembered his goal, "I came to look for Young Master Chen. I wanted to ask if he was willing to help solve the office problem. I'll teach her."

Yuan replied, "Elder, do that in your next life."

"Why? He doesn't want a salary?" confused elder.

However, the others just sighed.

*

Upstairs, Ling had already finished her bath and was only using a bathrobe. Before she wiped her hair, her phone rang.

That's Mr. Shangxuan, "Hello?"

"Chen Ling, it's actually not impossible if you want to save Miss Zhuo" said Mr. Shangxuan.

Ling's eyes twinkled, "Master Shangxuan, are you willing to save him?"

Mr. Shangxuan shook his head, "No. I've sworn an oath and will not break it. I'm talking about another way."

Hearing the first sentence, Ling instantly turned cold. However, hearing the last sentence, he again felt the light of hope, "Say."

"I have been researching Miss Zhuo's condition for many years. The condition will weaken every half year. If we don't stop this immediately, at most he can last three more years" replied Mr. Shangxuan.

Ling clenched his hands so tightly that his fingers were pale.

Master Shangxuan felt Ling change. He continued, "But there is another way. I knew it because I had studied the disease before. You're very talented. As long as you want to learn from me for a year, you can definitely cure him. This is my offer. Think first."

After that, the call is closed.

Ling's phone remained in his ear.

Three years ... upon hearing Mr. Shangxuan say this figure, he was stunned. He knew that Mr. Shangxuan would not lie to him at a time like this. His fingers were trembling with the phone still in his ear.

Zhuo Xia walked in and saw Ling standing by the window. He saw Ling had finished his bath and had not wiped his hair. Zhuo Xia picked up a towel and walked over to Ling. She wipes her hair slowly.

"What are you thinking?" Zhuo Xia smoothed Ling's hair with one hand. The other hand opened Ling's fist, then he grabbed it. Now, Zhuo Xia turned his gaze to Ling's face. His eyes look very deep.

"I want to consider whether I should go to Mr. Shangxuan's place" Ling replied.

"Disregard him" Zhuo Xia said.

They both breathed heavily.

Ling moved his hand to the back of Zhuo Xia's neck. He kissed her lips intensely. His hands filled the gaps in Zhuo Xia's fingers one by one. He could feel the difference between his fingers. Now every little touch will be so imprinted in their minds.

Someone knocked on the door. Someone's looking for Ling.

Zhuo Xia set his breath back and slowly calmed down. He chuckled, "That's Bo Xue Ning."

Ling stroked his ear, "Good."

Zhuo Xia touched his ears. He walked and turned on the lights. Faintly, he could see Ling's collarbone. He said, "Replace your clothes."

Zhuo Xia took the clothes he used to wear and handed them to Ling. He looked at Ling's face for a moment. He immediately retracted his gaze back when he realized his face was heating up. Then, he slightly stepped on it and kissed it.
