Chapter 378 Bai Xue Defends Her Own
Liu Wen frowned as he looked at Lu Ru, knowing the close relationship between Lu Ru and Xu Dong, which left him with no good feelings toward Lu Ru.
Liu Wen did hope Jing Yan could enter.
The problem was that Lu Ru had mentioned Jing Yan going inside might affect the diagnosis for Old Master Zhou. Setting aside whether Jing Yan’s presence would actually cause any disruption, the real worry was that Lu Ru and others might bite back, essentially harming Jing Yan.
For a moment, Liu Wen hesitated about speaking up for Jing Yan.
"Second-Level Alchemist, perhaps it’s better not to go in, there’s no point!" The speaker was none other than Ji Yue from Pill Country.
Ji Yue gave Jing Yan a glance; he didn’t actually know Jing Yan personally nor held any grudges, so there was no need to target him specifically. His statement was based on his understanding; judging from what Zhou Shang Yun had described about Old Master Zhou’s condition, a mere Second-Level Alchemist really couldn’t offer any help.
Since there would be no help, why let him go in at all?
"Mr. Ji Yue is right! Jing Yan, you should just wait here," Zhou Shang Yun nodded and then spoke to Jing Yan.
Having heard what Ji Yue said, Zhou Shang Yun naturally had to give him face.
Jing Yan’s complexion turned pale, and he silently cursed Lu Ru, Xu Dong, and others in his heart.
Yet, since Zhou Shang Yun had already expressed his opinion, could he actually object or insist on going in?
Mu Liantian had told him, the Prince was not of good temper; what if he offended the Prince and got slapped to death? Jing Yan, despite his confidence, didn’t believe he could survive a slap from the Prince.
