But he quickly came back from his shock and said with a smile, "Owner Lin, that is a funny joke. I almost thought that I heard you say that you were rejecting the will of our Alchemy King Hall."

Lin Fan just calmly nodded, "That's right, you heard correctly. I am indeed rejecting your offer."

The smile dropped from the Alchemy Master's face and his face turned dark, "Do you truly understand the situation you are currently in? This isn't a game, you do know that right?"

Lin Fan finally revealed a cold smile, "And there is your true self. What's the point of hiding behind all that deception?"

The Alchemy Master was taken aback for a second, before he suddenly broke out in laughter, "You're definitely right, Owner Lin. As expected of someone I respect."

Then as soon as his voice fell, the aura of the peak Platinum Realm suddenly exploded from him, "Then I guess there's no other way."

Elder Hua immediately moved back towards Elder Gu and her disciple, putting up her guard along the way.

The other elders that had followed the Alchemy Master here also released their Platinum Realm auras.

As for Lin Fan, he just calmly watched as they prepared for battle, waiting for the Alchemy Master to attack him.

However, before the fight could even start, Song Shu came out of the back and said, "Boss, here's the thing that you asked for."

Her words cut through the tense atmosphere like a knife as everyone turned towards her. Even Lin Fan knit his brows when he suddenly remembered that the kids were in the back getting something for him. He realized that he made a mistake.

But before he could do a thing, the Alchemy Master was the one who spoke first.

The Alchemy Master narrowed his eyes when he looked at Song Shu at first, but then his face was covered in shock like he had just realized something.

He looked closely at her face again and found that his intuition was correct, it really was the girl he had been looking for the entire time.

"It's you!" The Alchemy Master shouted out.

This caused everyone to be confused since they didn't know what was going on.

The Alchemy Master turned to Lin Fan and asked him, "Why is this girl in your shop? What is your relationship with her?"

Lin Fan revealed a confused look before answering, "She is my employee, what does it matter to you?"

The Alchemy Master broke out in laughter at this before turning to look at Song Shu with a cold gaze, "You're even keeping a murderer like this in your shop, you really are a surprising person."

"Murderer?" Lin Fan's confused look became even deeper.

The Alchemy Master then said, "Owner Lin, how about we make a deal? As long as you let me take away this girl, we will call this matter settled? What do you think? This is quite a good deal for you."

Elder Hua knit her brows and turned to look at Song Shu. Earlier she hadn't looked at Song Shu carefully, since she just thought that she was another kid that Lin Fan had hired off the street.

Now that she was looking at her carefully, she realized that she did look a bit familiar.

Combing through her memories, pieces came together in her mind until they formed a complete image.

Finally, she couldn't help but shout out, "Young miss, it's really you!"

Song Shu looked at her in surprise when she heard this, she never expected someone to call her "young miss".

Elder Hua immediately covered her mouth when she said this as she realized that she had made a mistake.

Only the Alchemy Master had recognized her, but her words made everyone realize just who Song Shu was.

Lin Fan's expression continued to increase with more and more confusion as he looked at Song Shu and muttered, "Young miss?

When the elders that followed the Alchemy Master heard this, they also recognized who Song Shu was and they were filled with killing intent.

If they let this girl live, the situation might turn bad for them. Therefore, there was no reason for this girl to live!

The Alchemy Master knew that the situation would become worse the more he let it develop, so he began moving towards Lin Fan and consequently Song Shu as he said with a smile, "Owner Lin, this really would be a great deal for you. Just give me this little girl and we'll consider this matter over." But during this, he continued moving forward.

Lin Fan knit his brows when he saw this, but before he could speak, the Alchemy Master suddenly charged out at full speed at Song Shu with one palm extended, aiming right at her head. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared right at her.

Song Shu just watched as the palm grew in size in front of her eyes, unable to do a single thing as the killing intent of the Alchemy Master locked her down.

Elder Hua and Elder Gu who wanted to protect her had reacted slow. Even if they wanted to save her now, they were only in the mid Platinum Realm while the Alchemy Master was in the peak Platinum Realm. Before they could even reach Song Shu, the Alchemy Master was in front of her.

Lin Fan was right beside her, but he didn't do a thing since he knew what was going to happen.

The funny thing was that the Alchemy Master had taken this as tacit understanding, he thought that Lin Fan was letting him kill this little girl in exchange for leaving this store.

But what he never expected was that even without Lin Fan doing a thing, he would be sent flying soon.

Right before his palm could hit Song Shu's head, there was an invisible force that appeared in front of him. No matter how much he tried pushing into that invisible force, he couldn't move forward even a single inch which was all he needed to smash Song Shu's head in.

He used all his powers to push forward, but he couldn't move at all.

Eventually all his force was negated and once that happened, he suddenly felt a powerful force being slammed into his palm. It was much stronger than anything he could expect and when he landed, slamming into the wall, his arm was bent in a very strange manner. It was very clear that the bone inside his arm had been shattered and broken in several places, it took all he had not to faint from the pain.

The Alchemy Master gritted his teeth and set the broken bones of his arm back in place. Once he was done, he took out a pill that he swallowed, which caused smoke to appear from his arm. Once the smoke was gone, he waved his arm and it had surprisingly been connected back in place.

The Alchemy Master turned back to Lin Fan, but this time there was an extra look of fear in his eyes, "Are you really intending to protect this little girl from me? Do you really think that you can stop me? Do you even know who you are protecting?"

Lin Fan looked back at him calmly and asked, "Who is she then?"

The Alchemy Master knew that violence was out of the question and seeing that Lin Fan was open to talking, he said, "This girl was the daughter of the previous Alchemy Master, but she betrayed us all when she suddenly went crazy one day and poisoned her own father! If you're not careful, she might poison you too!"

Lin Fan's eyes opened wide in surprise as he turned to Song Shu to notice the shocked look on her face. It wasn't shocked from being exposed, rather it was shock and confusion from not understanding what this man was talking about.

Elder Hua quickly said, "Owner Lin, don't listen to his lies! While it is true that Master Jun was poisoned, no one ever found the culprit! It's all rumours spread by them to keep their position as the new Alchemy Master! The young miss had even disappeared under mysterious circumstances!"

The Alchemy Master quickly added, "Owner Lin, as long as you hand this little girl to me, I can promise you that you will never be bothered by our Alchemy Tower ever again. I can even use the resources of the Alchemy Tower to help promote your store."

Lin Fan's mind turned and he could guess most of what this was about, but none of that mattered to him.

,m The only thing that mattered was that this little girl was now part of his store.

Lin Fan calmly turned back to the Alchemy Master and said, "You can't have her."

The Alchemy Master's face turned ugly, "What else do you want? I can give you anything you want as long as you give her to me."

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "She is my employee, so you can't have her. It's as simple as that."
