Chapter 2059 — Why Should I Lend It to You?

But when he saw the empty classroom, Right Panhu felt rather glum. It seemed that arriving early did not necessarily get things done—in a university classroom, no one would show up this early before class was about to start. If people had that kind of time, they would rather linger in the dormitory a while longer. Who would rush to the classroom first thing in the morning?

In universities, it was more common to study in the afternoon and evening; few studied in the morning.

"Let's go downstairs and take a look—we'll go meet that Wei Zhao!" Right Panhu glanced at the time and said.

"Then... should we bring the pill cauldrons down?" the yellow-haired young man asked.

"Bring them. You and Purple Hair each carry one. When the time comes, whichever one I tell you to bring out, you bring out that one!" Right Panhu instructed.

"Got it!" Yellow Hair and Purple Hair answered in unison.

The three of them went downstairs and headed along the Biology Department's teaching building toward the parking lot. As it happened, Wei Zhao had just driven Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Han Jingyi, and Han Xiaochao to school, and Wei Zhao was walking with Han Jingyi toward the Biology Department's teaching building.

"Brother Wei Zhao, last night Jingjing streamlined and improved the methods for condensing and controlling first-grade and second-grade Yellow-rank pill fire. Now Jingjing can condense first-grade Yellow-rank pill fire in almost ten seconds, and second-grade Yellow-rank pill fire in thirty seconds!" Han Jingyi said. "The alchemist's notes Brother Wei Zhao gave Jingjing really are wonderful things!"

While Han Jingyi was speaking, Right Panhu had already come trotting over. He had not caught the first half of her words, but the latter half he heard perfectly clearly—Han Jingyi was saying that Wei Zhao had given her some alchemist's notes, really wonderful things!

Right Panhu's heart stirred, and he felt a little annoyed as well. Damn it all—this Wei Zhao really was a lecher, with beauties constantly around him. It had only been a few days, and already he had gotten involved with Han Jingyi, and from the look of it, Han Jingyi wanted to learn alchemy too?

Wei Zhao had naturally seen Right Panhu coming as well, but it was too late to stop Han Jingyi from speaking—she had already finished the latter half of her sentence. Wei Zhao could only cough twice to signal her to hold her tongue for the moment, since someone had come.

"Ha, isn't this Wei Zhao, the great alchemist of Lin University? What a coincidence!" This time Right Panhu had more or less figured out why Wei Zhao and Han Jingyi had gone to the antique street to buy a pill cauldron. From the look of it, Wei Zhao probably wasn't buying it for himself, but for Han Jingyi!

For a lone cultivator alchemist like Wei Zhao, having one decent pill cauldron of his own was already good enough; there was no way he had another spare one for Han Jingyi. So it was only natural that he would accompany her to buy one—except that the junk bought from street stalls could never be used for alchemy.

"Right Panhu, what's wrong with you now? Instead of waiting obediently in the classroom for class first thing in the morning, what are you wandering around here for?" Wei Zhao said flatly. But then he gave a surprised "huh": "I didn't notice—three days apart and one must look at you with new eyes. You actually broke through? From Yellow-rank to Profound-rank?"

"Haha, you noticed too?" Right Panhu had not concealed the aura of an early-stage Profound-rank expert, so he did not find it strange that Wei Zhao had noticed. "Well? Envious?"

"Envious? Are you sick? I'm Earth-rank—why would I envy your Profound-rank?" Wei Zhao frowned. "Did you come here just to show off that you've become Profound-rank? Anything else?"

"Of course there is!" Right Panhu said hurriedly. "Wei Zhao, those materials Leader White gave you..."

"What are you up to?" A wary expression immediately appeared on Wei Zhao's face.

"Why are you so tense? I'm not going to snatch them from you—I just want to borrow them and take a look!" Seeing that poker face of Wei Zhao's, Right Panhu felt rather depressed; he wished he could turn into a beauty himself and make Wei Zhao offer the materials to him of his own accord.

In Right Panhu's view, Wei Zhao never turned away any beauty. How could he know that Wei Zhao had given Han Jingyi nice things for a reason, and whether Han Jingyi was a beauty had nothing necessarily to do with it?

"Not lending! Leader White didn't tell me to lend them to just anyone." Wei Zhao said. "If that's what you're here for, you may leave, or go ask Leader White directly."

With that, Wei Zhao and Han Jingyi made to leave.

"Wait!" How could Right Panhu let Wei Zhao go? If they reached the classroom with Leader White nearby, his plan would be difficult to carry out—and if some classmate happened to see and report it to Leader White, that would be very bad for Right Panhu too.

"Anything else?" Wei Zhao asked coldly. "You don't think that just because you've become Profound-rank you're something special, and you're going to beat me up, do you?"

"Haha, how could I!" Right Panhu shook his head at once. "You, Wei Zhao, are an expert who can wipe out three Earth-rank experts at once. Me, beat you up? I'm not stupid, and don't try to provoke me—it won't work!"

"Then what do you want?" Wei Zhao gave a humph and said no more.

"Wow, Brother Wei Zhao, you're amazing—you can kill three Earth-rank experts in seconds?" Han Jingyi looked at Wei Zhao with admiration. "Jingjing admires you more and more!"

Right Panhu frowned. In the class, apart from Wang Xinyan, this Han Jingyi was arguably the department beauty. Right Panhu had originally planned to find a girlfriend at school; Wang Xinyan was definitely out of the question—quite apart from the friction between them during the college entrance exams, which meant Wang Xinyan would never give him the time of day, just considering Wang Xinyan's relationship with Wei Zhao, he had no intention of cutting in.

If he got himself killed by that madman Wei Zhao again, the loss would outweigh the gain! Although Leader White did not permit trouble-making here, what if Wei Zhao flew into a rage, risked expulsion, and simply did away with him? It was not impossible.

So Right Panhu had shifted his gaze to Han Jingyi—only for her to get tangled up with Wei Zhao within a couple of days, calling him "Brother Wei Zhao" at every turn and admiring him. That business was eighty percent hopeless!

Still, in Right Panhu's eyes these were all small matters. Women's affairs could wait; the important thing was to get the materials in Wei Zhao's hands first. So he said, "Wei Zhao, as far as I know, you've already shown the materials to Han Jingyi, haven't you? Leader White forbade you to show them to others—that should mean people other than his students, right? That being the case, why can't you show them to me?"

"And why should I show them to you?" Wei Zhao glanced at Right Panhu with a cold sneer, then countered, "Is this a threat?"
