To be mocked by a Female Alchemist who was a full decade or two younger than themselves, all these pampered alchemists from Dan City were heavily affronted.
Yet the moment they heard Ye Lingyue threaten to retire them en masse, these ordinarily imposing alchemists of Dan City became anxious.
Alchemy in Dan City might be perilous, but the annual salary granted by the court was extremely generous; without Dan City, where else could they find such high remuneration?
"Sir, my illness has healed."
"Sir, it was just a minor ailment."
"Sir, I'm still young and would like to contribute more to the court; let me continue alchemy despite my illness."
Instantly, these alchemists all forgot they had earlier agreed to resist Ye Lingyue together.
"They're all spineless fence-sitters," muttered Cauldron Master Wang to himself with a cold snort.
Upon hearing Cauldron Master Wang's voice, the alchemists fell utterly silent.
It seems this one was the mouthpiece of the Alchemist Mansion.
