Chapter 52: Little man Wang Fu_1
"Your Highness, Elder Wang is currently treating His Majesty’s injuries. Please calm your anger!" Li Si and the others intercepted the furious Qin Wudao, trying to dissuade him in hushed tones. They too were well aware of Wang Fu’s actions and equally outraged, yet they felt powerless.
The Qin Empire had only two alchemists: Wang Fu and Wang Gui.
Judging by their names, they were brothers. Flaunting their status as alchemists, they often defied Qin laws, controlled the Imperial Medical Institute, and listened to no one but the Emperor.
However, this time, for some unknown reason, Wang Fu deliberately dawdled, despite knowing he was responsible for saving the Emperor.
"How audacious!"
"Can’t you see I am treating His Majesty? Get out, now!"
While tending to the Emperor’s injuries, Wang Fu leisurely stood up. His head was slightly raised as he berated everyone with thunderous displeasure, his expression arrogant.
"Elder Wang, this is the Crown Prince. He was a bit abrupt in his urgency. Please overlook it," Li Si said with a placating smile, playing the peacemaker. The Prime Minister, second in status only to the Emperor, was nonetheless humbly obliging to a mere Yellow-level alchemist, a clear indication of his internal frustration.
On the Primitive Continent, alchemists were held in high esteem. However, Wang Fu was merely a Yellow-level practitioner, only scratching the surface of the craft, so his status wasn’t particularly distinguished.
In some powerful Dao Domains, the status of a Yellow-level alchemist was comparable to that of a Transcendent Realm martial artist. They were expected to be respectful even when encountering a Heaven-level martial artist.
But in the East Ancient Domain, alchemists were exceedingly rare, which had infinitely inflated Wang Fu’s position.
