Chapter 295 - Methods

Chapter 295: Chapter 50 MethodsHe Li quickly delivered the goods to the storehouse of Raoxue Castle and left without exchanging a word with Lu Hong, apparently considering Lu Hong unworthy of his conversation. Of course, Lu Hong wasn’t keen to interact with him either, noting everything in his little notebook, and planning to beat him up once he regained his strength.

"Back already?" The old steward Gui Sheng seemed to have heard some noise and hurried to the storehouse, looking at He Li who was leaving he asked, "Did Kaif help you with purchasing the goods?"

"Yes."

Seeing Lu Hong nodding, the old steward rubbed his fingers together with a sly smile, as if to say, "Shouldn’t you..."

That greedy old man!

Lu Hong didn’t care much about a few silver coins and took them out to give to him, "Here, take these."

"Not bad, quite appreciative." The old steward’s smile grew as he took the silver coins and cheerfully continued, "The young lady seems to have gotten injured a bit. Go to the second cabinet in the third row of the alchemy room, and fetch a magic potion for her recovery."

"Oh, sure." Following the old steward’s instructions, Lu Hong headed into the pitch-black fortress. Truthfully, Raoxue Castle was huge, and with only three residents including Lu Hong, most areas were always idle, like the alchemy room Lu Hong was heading to, where the spiraling staircase was old and creaky. Each step squeaked, occasionally startling the small animals lurking around, like rats maybe?

Lighting a lantern, Lu Hong reached the door of the alchemy room, and with a gentle push, the door collapsed onto the ground, stirring up a noseful of dust.

Brushing away cobwebs, was there even a need for the steward’s instructions? This row of shelves had only one vial of magic potion left.

Taking the potion, Lu Hong was ready to leave, but a notebook on the desk caught his attention.

He stepped forward, flipped it open, and found it contained documents about Raoxue family’s past re

"Please come in." The old butler bowed slightly and led the alchemist inside, then turned to Lu Hong and whispered, "You take the guest to the reception hall to wait, I’ll go inform the young lady."

"Alright." Lu Hong approached the alchemist and said, "Please follow me."

"Thank you." The alchemist, very polite, followed Lu Hong to the reception hall.

Adeptly, he poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Please wait a moment."

The alchemist took the cup with a smile, "No rush, no rush."

While saying this, he openly sized up Lu Hong: "Why are you wearing a mask?"

Lu Hong found a random excuse, "I’m too ugly, afraid I might scare people."

"I see." The alchemist nodded and then asked, "You haven’t been at Raoxue Castle for long, have you?"

"Less than a week."

"How do you feel about serving a young girl?" The alchemist’s tone was somewhat sharp, as if probing Lu Hong.

"It’s alright, sometimes I think it’s quite nice," Lu Hong shrugged, an indifferent expression on his face.

"Have you ever thought about taking over as the master of this castle?" The alchemist sipped his tea, a smile playing at the corner of his eyes.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Lu Hong was intrigued, even though he didn’t know the alchemist’s intentions, a casual chat was still enjoyable.

"Hehe, I was just asking casually, don’t take it seriously," the alchemist set down his teacup and did not say more.

Since the other party wouldn’t speak up, Lu Hong wasn’t in a hurry either. If the other party really had any moves to make, they would surely contact him again, right?
