Peerless Allure: Nine Series Summoner

Chapter 272 The Elixir Was Stolen

The half-month period agreed with the Mo brothers seems to have arrived in the blink of an eye.On this day, Ling Lan came to the alley next to the alchemy union as promised, looking for the Mo family brothers to get the alchemy.

This residential house has not changed much from the last time Ling Lan came here, there are not many people in the alley, and the faint cries of monsters can be vaguely heard from several nearby courtyards.

Followed the memory to the front of Mo's house, the black lacquered door was ajar, and there was no sound from inside.Ling Lan thought that the Mo family brothers knew she would come today, so they reserved the door for her in advance.

She didn't think much about it, she knocked on the door, and seeing no one answered, she opened the door and went in by herself.

As soon as she entered the gate, Ling Lan was taken aback by the heavy atmosphere in the courtyard—Mo Pei and Mo Yu stood in the courtyard with their heads bowed, seemingly waiting for her.

"Where are you two? Are you waiting for me?"

Mo Pei and Mo Yu neither spoke nor raised their heads, which made Ling Lan feel that the scene in front of him was rather strange.

These two brothers, they must have been lowered by someone, right?Could it be that this weird technique also exists in Longyue Continent?
"Miss Ling, I'm sorry, I..."

"Sister Ling, I'm sorry, we..."

The two brothers, Mo Pei and Mo Yu, really understood each other very well, they even apologized in sync.

It's just that when the two of them said this, neither of them looked up.Ling Lan could only feel their guilty feelings from their voices.

——Why do they apologize as soon as they see themselves?Could it be that the pill refining failed?They feel bad, feel that they have betrayed their trust, so they are so self-blaming and guilty that they dare not look up at themselves?
These two brothers are really cautious.Alchemy is a probabilistic event, and there are many variables in the process. Occasionally, refining fails, which is really normal.

Ling Lan is not the kind of picky customer, she will not criticize others just because of such a trivial matter.

"Oh, didn't it work out? That's okay."

Ling Lan waved her hand indifferently, but didn't take it seriously.

At that time, without much consideration, she asked the brothers of the Mo family to make alchemy for her. Ling Lan didn't have much expectation in her heart.After all, she couldn't judge the real level of Mo Pei and Mo Yu.

Ling Lan just thought that if they could successfully refine the elixir, it would be good, but if they failed, she would just lose some spiritual plants.

Although it is indeed a pity for those spiritual plants that were used to refine medicine, it is nothing.It's nothing more than spending some more time and mental energy, and nourishing some more.

Ling Lanhun's indifferent attitude and tone made the two brothers feel even more sorry.Mo Yu was on the verge of crying, but he held back his tears and didn't let them fall.

"Sister Ling, yes, I'm sorry...your elixir...was taken away..."

Mo Yu choked with sobs and intermittently explained the ins and outs of the matter to Ling Lan.Speaking of the latter, he couldn't help it, and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

The moment he raised his head, Ling Lan saw the scars and bruises on his face.

One side of his face was swollen high, the wound at the corner of his mouth had formed a blood scab, and the bruise in front of his eyes was even more shocking—the person who snatched the medicine was really cruel enough to beat an eleven or twelve-year-old child to death so miserable!

"I'm sorry, sister Ling..."

Mo Yu was apologizing to Ling Lan again.One eye was so swollen that it couldn't open, the other was in better condition.He looked at Ling Lan expectantly, hoping that Ling Lan would believe his explanation.

The pill was robbed at the alchemist's house?It was the first time Ling Lan encountered such a thing.

She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she could trust Mo Yu's words.After all, she has only met these two brothers once, and she doesn't know enough about their characters.

Seeing that Ling Lan remained silent throughout, the light in Mo Yu's eyes disappeared little by little—yes, why should he hope that the people he just met would believe the two brothers for no reason?
"Xiao Yu, it has nothing to do with you, it's because of my brother's incompetence." Mo Pei's voice sounded a bit heavy, "Miss Ling, I'm sorry, I failed your trust."

For some reason, Ling Lan heard a trace of sadness in Mo Pei's voice.

"I'm really sorry for wasting your time. I will pay you the money for the herbs. If, if you still want to come to us to make alchemy in the future, I don't need to charge you."

Mo Pei's attitude of apologizing to Ling Lan was very sincere, and he never thought of shirking responsibility from the beginning to the end.

When he finally raised his head to talk to Ling Lan, Ling Lan saw that the injury on his face was more serious than Mo Yu's.

If she hadn't remembered Mo Pei's voice, Ling Lan would have doubted whether it was Mo Pei or someone else standing in front of her.

Mo Pei pursed his lips tightly, with a serious expression, waiting for Ling Lan to offer a compensation price.

The herbal medicine left by Ling Lan last time, although they are not rare and precious varieties, but they are better because of their age.Almost every spiritual plant has a life span of more than 500 years.

Dozens of various Breitling plants are also considered valuable.

Although the family conditions are not good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that life is difficult, Mo Pei and Mo Yu never thought of shirking their responsibilities.

The elixir was snatched from them, and it was only natural that they should compensate Ling Lan.

Mo Pei was already prepared in his heart.Even though he knew that the compensation to Ling Lan would definitely make their already stretched life even worse...

Ling Lan looked at Mo Pei's always clear eyes, which were full of stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.It's just that she can't judge the authenticity of the words of the two brothers of the Mo family.

Is it true that someone saw that the two brothers were easy to bully, so they took away the medicine they refined, or did they think that they hid all the herbs in order to fill their own pockets?

Ling Lan didn't deliberately observe the reactions of the two brothers, but said nothing, seriously thinking about the authenticity of the words of the two brothers of the Mo family.

When dealing with the Mo family brothers for the first time, Ling Lan would not easily trust them just because they seemed pure and kind.However, she will not casually wrong good people.

Mo Yu was still looking forward to it, thinking that Ling Lan would be willing to believe their explanation, just like she was willing to believe in Mo Pei at the beginning and gave them the herbs to make alchemy.

But Ling Lan kept silent, and Mo Yu's heart sank little by little.

Although because of the environment in which he grew up, Mo Yu looked calmer than his peers, but after all, he was still a young boy, and his thoughts were written all over his face.

Mo Pei's expression was not much better, but in order not to make Mo Yu more nervous, he, the elder brother, had no choice but to pretend to be calm.
