Chapter 279: Getting Promoted in Advance (1)
Mo Yi stood aside Mo Fei to help him make potions.
After the promotion, Mo Fei’s soul force rose sharply. His speed of potion-making was nearly twice as fast as before. Mo Yi completely could not catch up with his speed. Fortunately, the one-eyed lieutenant general called a few soldiers who had experience in pharmacy to help.
These several soldiers kept busy and quiet, looking at Mo Fei from time to time with admiration.
“Young master, you’ve just promoted, don’t you need a good rest?” Mo Yi asked with a frown.
“Rest? Are you kidding me? Didn’t you see the eyes of the three lieutenant generals? Their eyes were so eager and enthusiastic. If I didn’t know they took a fancy to the potions I made, I would have thought they were having a crush on me.” Mo Fei said roughly.
Mo Yi smiled, “I think they would be willing to have a crush on you, young master. But they don’t have the guts cause there’s Prince Yu.”
Mo Fei nodded, “Yes! Lou Yu really has a bad temper!”
Mo Yi, “…”
The several soldiers in the laboratory obediently cleaned the equipment with their head bowed, daring not to make a sound.
With a knock on the door, the one-eyed lieutenant general came in quickly. He handed a jade box to Mo Fei, “My third crown princess, this is the star herbs you asked for. Please see if it’s appropriate.”
Mo Fei opened the jade box, looked at the star herbs in it, and nodded with satisfaction, “It’s all top grade star herbs. Thank you so much.”
“It’s my honor to serve you, my honored third crown princess.” The lieutenant general said hurriedly.
Mo Yi looked at Mo Fei and asked curiously, “Young master, now that all the auxiliary materials are available, are you going to prepare the potion first for Prince Yu or Childe Qian Ye?”
Mo Fei smiled awkwardly and looked depressed, “I don’t know, either! It’s really hard to choose between my husband and bro!”
The one-eyed lieutenant general was in rapid mind rotation. The potions Mo Fei was going to make for Qian Ye and Lou Yu would definitely not be ordinary stuff. The auxiliary potions Mo Fei asked for had been as high as level six. Which level would the main potions be? Were they level seven ones?
The thought made his heart thump. It was already shocking enough for Mo Fei to make level five potions. The man was not from the earth if he could also make level seven ones!
Fear grew in his mind as he fixed his eyes on Mo Fei.
Mo Fei looked at him with confusion, “Lieutenant general, am I that horrible? Why you look at me like that?”
The one-eyed lieutenant general shook his head in haste, “No, not at all. How could it be!”
Mo Fei smiled, “That would be good.”
“My crown princess, your potions have piled up into mountains! Let me help you move them out.” The one-eyed lieutenant general said flatteringly.
Mo Fei hesitated a bit, “But this batch has been booked by Scar.”
One-eye acted affably, “Oh, I see. Then I’ll help you send them to lieutenant general Scar.”
Looking at the man taking the five baskets of potions into his own bags, Mo Fei felt helpless.
Mo Yi whispered to Mo Fei, “Young master, there seems to be a group of soldiers who are under the one-eyed lieutenant general outside.”
Mo Fei nodded, “Huh, I found it, too.”
Mo Yi said with great interest, “Young master, do you think these potions can reach lieutenant general Scar?”
Mo Fei smiled awkwardly and said meaningfully, “If he is in a good mood, he may take the potions to pass Scar’s door while the latter is not at home.”
Mo Yi, “…”
The group of soldiers looked at the five baskets of potions, eyes glazing, “Boss, what should we do with them?”
One-eye touched his chin, wearing that sinister face, “Take a half basket to Scar, and we keep the rest.”
A soldier said in grief, “Lieutenant general, a half basket is also a lot! Anyway, he won’t appreciate us even if he takes them. We don’t we split them all?”
One-eye glared at the guy and cleared his throat. “Learn to be kind and honest. Don’t burn your bridges cause you never know when you’ll need help in the future. Understand?”
Looking at the soldiers around him with disapproving faces, one-eye said helplessly, “We have promised the third crown princess for the delivery. Even if we could ignore Scar, we could not afford to disobey the third crown princess. As the saying goes, ‘not for the monk’s sake, but for the Buddha’s’!”
Those soldiers exchanged glances and looked at one-eye with admiration, “Lieutenant general, you’re really insightful.”
“All right, leave half a basket and split the rest quickly.” One-eye waved his hand and said flatly.
When Scar got the message and arrived, only half a basket of potions was left exactly.
He looked at One-eye with gnashing teeth, while the latter glanced at him in an ostentatious manner, “Scar, you are here! I was just about to send you the potions! I didn’t expect you to come so soon, what a coincidence!”
“Where are the rest ones? Where are they?” Scar was ferocious and clutched the man’s clothes.
One-eye smiled nonchalantly, “The rest potions? I don’t think you need that much, so the brethren all get a share.”
Scar’s face turned stiff. What instant karma! This was exactly what he said when he robbed the potions from One-eye.
He looked at One-eye with gnashing teeth, “You asshole!”
One-eye tided his clothes and said, “Scar! I had no choice! It’s been really tough these days!”
Holding half a basket of potions, Scar could only suppress his anger and left somberly. He secretly made up his mind that next time he must get ahead of one-eye and Feng Xin.
