The Immortal Fire

Chapter 50: The Blue Peach Pill

The two guards had ushered Liu Ying and Song Jun into the Association, they no longer frowned after suspecting that Liu Ying must be quite an important person to Song Jun.

Liu Ying was hosted in a quite spacious and luxurious living room, really Liu Ying did not think that the inside of the Association was quite amazing compared to its outer appearance which looked more like an unused building.

"Little-miss! Wait, how am I supposed to call you?" song Jun asked slightly excitedly, he couldn't help but smile since meeting Liu Ying.

"Call me A'Ying."

Song Jun scowled. "A'Yin? No, no, I don't think it's too good. What about Liu-Liu?"

Liu Ying smiled forcefully, he wondered why the young man beside him had been too expressive since earlier, Liu Ying was goosebumps with his treatment. He nodded hesitantly making Song Jun smile afterwards.

"Liu-Liu, aren't you allowed to leave the sect. Why are you in this town?" asked Song Jun curiously.

Liu Ying certainly had no other reason he could say, honestly there was no harm either. "Let's guess what, can old Cheng be gentle and let me take a vacation for some time?"

Song Jun chuckled incisively at it, a joke that was dark enough if you could imagine how cruel Cheng Xi Guan was to Liu Ying that night. Their relationship back then was even worse than the relationship between the employer and the servant.

"I can't guess anything else except the possibility that with your temper, you might be brave enough to take the escape step" Song Jun said as he leaned his back against the chair.

Liu Ying had already guessed that answer, then said. "Your guess is correct. There is nothing more fun than being a fugitive and tricking one sect into looking stupid, I sometimes regret not doing this earlier than a few years."

It's irony. If Liu Ying himself having to disguise himself as a man was a bad idea, it was at least comparable to the little freedom he had.

Song Jun could not help but laugh, the girl turned out to be even more attractive. There was no remorse or guilt in his expression, but his meaning was clearly deep. He quickly closed his mouth with a hand as he guessed at Liu Ying's true purpose.

Even if treated to freedom, the answer is not necessarily reason enough to make a rebellious girl flee if it were not for something else urging her to do so.

"Good too" Song Jun said as he tried to read Liu Ying's countenance.

Don't think Liu Ying doesn't know the contents of Song Jun's head, he's guessing and definitely always right. Liu Ying did not want to linger over it in order to avoid creating the various baseless speculations that would come to the young man's mind.

He sneered before saying, "My turn asked. Young Master Song, how about you, how did you get in this place?"

Song Jun's subsequent reply instantly made Liu Ying want to gulp down his own saliva, he then realized some of the foolishness implied in his question.

"My father was one of the ten founders of the Nanhua Association, at once, the largest shareholder, after all this was his greatest achievement. So there's no reason for me not to be in this place" Song Jun replied in disbelief.

Isn't this kind of thing common information in the society? Any mention of the Song family title, it was always related to the Nanhua Association. Why could Liu Ying not know?

Not that he wanted to look tall, but Song Jun at least wanted to be admired by the girl. Beyond a doubt, it was precisely Liu Ying who had absolutely no idea about the intricacies of his famous family.

Liu Ying, "Ah, that's right. Blame my disappointing insight."

Liu Ying scoffed at the statement, how did they become close just from ever standing on a similar stage? This directionless talk was a waste of time, so Liu Ying decided to get into his main point.

"Regarding that, can I ask Brother Song one more thing?" Liu Ying deliberately omitted the noble title in Song Jun's name by replacing it with the word 'Xiong' (Brother).

The young man nodded hinting that he was in trouble Liu Ying asked.

"Do you know Hu Xian?"

In a split second, blood flow seemed to disappear from Song Jun's face, his head like it had been struck by lightning. From his eyes emanated a sense of discomfort, shock and hiss that had come out of his mouth implying that he did not like. Liu Ying looked at him full of question marks.

Hu Xian made his facial water as flat as possible. "You know him?"

"No. I ask you, Brother Song," sighed Liu Ying boredly.

"En... Why are you suddenly asking this guy?" song Jun asked while displaying a stiff smile to cover up his tension.

Liu Ying, "So early in the morning, Hu Xian visited the Nanhua Association to buy medicines, but I discovered an awkwardness to him upon returning. I just want to know what really bothered the boy's mind so he became temperamental and vented his anger at something that didn't make sense."

Liu Ying paused for a moment before continuing, he propped his chin up with one hand while occasionally glancing towards Song Jun. And... What the fuck is that hurt look?

"Brother Song, don't know if you've met or not. It's possible that you found out why Hu Xian got so bad after leaving your association?"

Liu Ying's words were greeted by a false naughtiness, "This... You know Liu-Liu? It's not too good to talk about."

Exactly it. Song Jun's nervousness became one of several suspicious things, he knew Hu Xian. It seemed that Liu Ying did not need to ask that question a second time, he returned to the original topic.

"It seems, Brother Song really knows something." Liu Ying lured him.

For a moment, Song Jun looked like he was arguing with himself before finally sighing and saying, "That's right. I was indeed in the Association when Hu Xian visited, we had a chance to talk."

Not wrong anymore. Neither Hu Xian nor Song Jun, they did not look alright at all. At first Liu Ying only thought that it was possible for Song Jun to know the cause, but then Liu Ying realized that the reason was actually directly related to the young man after seeing his suddenly changed behavior.

"At that time..." Song Jun looked down at his shoes before continuing, "We argued for some time regarding the Blue Peach Pill that had just been sent in a limited number of times from the Huanlin Mountains, but I didn't really intend to make things difficult for him. The situation is exacerbated by the presence of conflicts in the past."

Liu Ying was speechless. The past and... What was that, the Blue Peach Pill?

"Blue Peach Pill is a precious Pill that is quite famous, its efficacy is to help the level rise faster and it is able to regenerate the vitality of a cultivator, it is, it could also overcome the blockage of meridians that could slow one down for a rate increase," Hu Xian explained as he realized Liu Ying's seemingly wondering expression.
