Chapter 37 – Merciless rejection
"Fine, fine!" Master Mo, who had always held an exalted position, had never been so openly contradicted. His old face trembled with anger as he rebuked, "You simply don't recognize a good heart! Let me tell you right here, what you ask is beyond my capabilities. Only Young Master Su can do it. If you don't want to ask him for help, then go find someone else outside!"
With that, Master Mo took a few steps back and sat heavily on a chair, his chest heaving with rage, clearly infuriated by Olivia Wang.
At that moment, a timid and small voice suddenly echoed in the hall: "Sirs, if anyone can save my son, anyone at all, I would be eternally grateful. Please, I only have this one son..."
It was the commoner who hadn't left, now kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and pleading for someone to save his son.
"Don't worry, I'll save your son."
It was Terra Su's calm voice that rang out.
"Really?" The commoner's eyes lit up, as if grabbing a lifeline, and he gratefully said, "Thank you, young master!"
"But I won't save anyone from the Wang Family," Terra Su added.
Upon hearing this, Olivia Wang felt it was absurd and sneered, her face full of mockery, "Do you think my Wang Family needs your help?"
"I hope you won't regret your words," Terra Su said indifferently, then ignored Olivia Wang and walked towards the commoner's child.
Not far away, Master Mo shook his head secretly. At this moment, he had a premonition that Olivia Wang would definitely regret it.
"Take this child to that bed over there."
Terra Su didn't waste any time and immediately began instructing the alchemy apprentices present.
At first, the apprentices were reluctant to follow Terra Su's orders, but after receiving a look from Master Mo, they obediently did as Terra Su commanded.
Seeing this, Olivia Wang couldn't help but scoff, "Terra Su, stop pretending. Do you think we don't know your background?"
Isn't he just Emma Jiang's cousin? At his age, being an alchemy apprentice is already impressive. How could he possibly cure the Nightshade Flower's poison?
For some reason, Olivia Wang felt a particular hostility towards Terra Su, perhaps because he was Emma Jiang's cousin. She disliked anyone associated with Emma.
The idea of Terra Su curing her brother's poison instinctively made Olivia Wang resist and reject it, not to mention she didn't believe he could actually do it.
However, Olivia Wang's thoughts were quickly proven wrong.
Terra Su instructed the apprentices to bring a few materials, then immediately began mixing them into a medicinal powder, which he administered to the commoner's child.
After taking Terra Su's medicine, the child's face rapidly lost its bluish-purple hue, and he soon regained his vitality, even sitting up after a short while.
"It's done. The poison is cleared. Take him home," Terra Su said.
Seeing his son fully recovered, the commoner was overwhelmed with gratitude and kowtowed to Terra Su repeatedly, "Thank you, benefactor! Thank you!"
Then, the commoner left the Alchemy Guild happily with his son.
Only the Wang Family members remained at the scene.
Olivia Wang was stunned. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't believe Terra Su had actually cured the Nightshade Flower's poison.
It was laughable that she had just declared that the Wang Family didn't need Terra Su's help.
She hadn't expected to be proven wrong so quickly.
"Master Mo, I'm leaving," Terra Su said with a faint smile, not even glancing at the Wang Family members as he walked out of the Alchemy Guild.
"Safe travels, Young Master Su," Master Mo said behind him.
Seeing Terra Su about to leave the Alchemy Guild, Olivia Wang panicked. Was Terra Su really not going to save her brother?
"Terra Su, stop!" Olivia Wang screamed, "Are you really going to let my brother die?"
Terra Su chuckled, shrugged, and said, "Olivia Wang, what relationship do we have? Am I obligated to save your brother?"
With that, Terra Su continued walking towards the door.
"Terra Su, don't be so heartless. After all, we have some history!" Olivia Wang shouted from behind.
Terra Su paused and said indifferently, "I already said, I won't save anyone from the Wang Family!"
With that, he walked out of the Alchemy Guild without looking back.
Olivia Wang stood there, stunned. She never expected Terra Su to be so unyielding, to refuse to save her brother without any consideration.
After a long moment, Olivia Wang had no choice but to turn to Master Mo, "Master Mo, they say you have a benevolent heart. My brother's life is at stake. Surely, you won't be so heartless as to ignore him?"
One had to admit, Olivia Wang was adaptable. Seeing no hope from Terra Su, she immediately changed her attitude and pleaded with Master Mo.
However, even the usually kind Master Mo had a cold expression at this moment, "I'm truly sorry, Miss Wang. I cannot meet your request to cure the poison without leaving any aftereffects. So, please seek help elsewhere."
With that, Master Mo stood up from his chair and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Only Olivia Wang remained, standing there in disbelief.
Looking around, the other members of the Alchemy Guild, not wanting to get involved, had already left one by one.
The once-proud young master of the Wang Family was now left poisoned and untreated, lying on a stretcher awaiting death.
"Terra Su, it's all because of Terra Su!" Olivia Wang's eyes filled with rage, "Everything today is his fault. It's all because he refused to save my brother!"
At this moment, Olivia Wang completely forgot her earlier attitude towards Master Mo and Terra Su, venting all her anger on Terra Su.
"Let's go!" Olivia Wang said coldly, "If anything happens to my brother today, I'll make Terra Su pay with his life!"
With that, Olivia Wang waved her hand, commanding the Wang Family members to carry the stretcher out of the Alchemy Guild.
In Master Mo's room on the second floor, a subordinate expressed concern, "Master Mo, Young Master Su has completely offended the Wang Family this time."
Master Mo sighed lightly, "True geniuses always have a bit of arrogance. I see nothing wrong with Young Master Su's actions."
"But Master Mo, Young Master Su is now an honorary guest elder of our Alchemy Guild. If anything happens to him..."
"Don't worry!" Master Mo interrupted, his deep, wise eyes flashing with a cold light, "The Alchemy Guild has always maintained neutrality. Perhaps we've kept a low profile for too long, and they've forgotten the power of the Alchemy Guild!"
"But if anyone dares to harm our honorary guest elder, the Alchemy Guild won't hesitate to show them what it means to be untouchable..."
