Chapter 3326 — Visiting Teacher Bai

It was already very late, but when Leader Bai heard that Wei Zhao had come, he was still delighted and told them to come straight over. It was just that, in the living room of Leader Bai's house, Wei Zhao was surprised to see He Meiyue!

He had not expected that He Meiyue had actually moved into Leader Bai's home. Did that mean Bai Weituo had already won He Meiyue over?

Sure enough, when Wei Zhao's gaze swept toward Bai Weituo, Bai Weituo looked a little embarrassed: "Leader, I've already taken Meiyue to meet my parents. We've agreed that tomorrow we'll set off to travel in Southeast Asia, so tonight Meiyue is staying here."

Wei Zhao nodded. Although he had always felt that He Meiyue was not quite a steady person, since Bai Weituo liked her, it was not appropriate for Wei Zhao to interfere too much.

"Have a good trip!" Wei Zhao said with a smile.

"Leader, are you really not coming? Not bringing Sister Xinyan along... uh... and Sister Jingjing too..." The moment Bai Weituo saw Han Jingyi, he knew he had said the wrong thing. Speaking without engaging one's brain really does cause trouble!

Han Jingyi was clearly right there, yet he had to go and mention Wang Xinyan. Bai Weituo felt rather vexed! Even a fool could see that the relationship between Han Jingyi and Wei Zhao was not ordinary.

Han Jingyi, however, showed no sign of jealousy at all. On the contrary, when she heard him call her Sister Jingjing, she looked a little shy, which put Bai Weituo's mind at ease.

"I won't go. I have quite a lot to handle on my side. Is it just the two of you going together tomorrow?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Fan Ganhe and Zhang Duopan are going too. Who knows why they're going? But we're not on the same itinerary." Speaking of this matter, Bai Weituo grew somewhat irritated. Those two really were persistent ghosts, haunting them everywhere. He Meiyue had already confirmed her relationship with him—could Zhang Duopan still be thinking of wedging himself in?

"Those two?" Wei Zhao frowned as well when he heard this. "Be careful, you two."

"Don't worry, Leader. I'll keep my distance from them," Bai Weituo said with a nod.

Wei Zhao said nothing more. He turned to Leader Bai and said, "Teacher Bai, shall we talk in the study?"

"Let's go!" Leader Bai knew that Wei Zhao would not visit so late without a reason, so he stood up and took the lead toward the study, with Wei Zhao and Han Jingyi following behind.

After they entered the study, Bai Weituo grinned and said to He Meiyue, "Meiyue, it's getting late. Shall we go rest?"

"Rest? What rest? Grandpa Bai hasn't even rested yet, and you're telling me to go rest—aren't you afraid people will laugh at us? What is going on in that head of yours!" He Meiyue and Bai Weituo had not yet crossed the final line; they had only kissed and hugged, but even that was enough to leave Bai Weituo unable to stop himself!

"Heh heh, then let's watch some TV here for a while!" Bai Weituo gave a dry laugh and sat down helplessly on the sofa.

But after He Meiyue sat down, she glanced at Bai Weituo and said with shy coyness, "Bai Weituo, how about this—you go take a shower first! Seeing as you've endured so hard these past days, I promise I'll reward you tonight. I can agree to use my mouth to help you... do it once. But you have to wash yourself clean. Don't blame me for not keeping my word if you don't get clean by then!"

"Ah!" When Bai Weituo heard He Meiyue's words, he was overcome with both shock and joy. He hurriedly stood up and, thumping his chest, vowed, "Don't worry, I'll definitely wash thoroughly and make sure I'm spotless—three rounds inside and three rounds outside. I won't let you find a single problem!"

"Mm, all right. I'll be watching the time. If it's less than half an hour, don't come out!" He Meiyue nodded in satisfaction.

"Of course! Half an hour is too little—it has to be at least thirty minutes!" Bai Weituo laughed heartily and charged off toward the bathroom.

Meanwhile, He Meiyue, who had been sitting on the sofa, watched Bai Weituo enter the bathroom. A complicated look flickered through her eyes, and then she stood up, picked up a cup from the tea table, and walked toward the water dispenser. But as she passed the study, she seemed to slip, steadying herself with a hand on the study door before she regained her footing.

Although Wei Zhao was a Heaven-rank expert and sensed someone walking past the study door, the sound of water being poured from the dispenser followed right after, so he did not pay it any mind! After all, the people outside were Bai Weituo and the others; there was no need for Wei Zhao to suspect anything, especially since the person had only gone to get water and had not lingered at the study door.

At that moment, Wei Zhao had just finished exchanging pleasantries with Leader Bai and briefly recounted recent events, and then he got to the point!

"Teacher Bai, you've surely heard about the latest second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron?" Wei Zhao asked.

"How could I not have heard? Your second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron has been all the rage lately. But what's this—I heard the cauldron has been withdrawn from sale, and you're preparing to research some improved version?" Leader Bai asked.

"That's right, exactly so. The rumor is true." Wei Zhao admitted it outright. "Our new generation of the second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron is under development. We will no longer use second-grade cauldrons as raw material, but instead manufacture them with a new type of substitute material. However, we've run into a technical difficulty!"

"Oh? You've already found a substitute material? That's wonderful!" Leader Bai nodded upon hearing this and said, "I was just about to tell you that even if you order the raw material for these second-grade cauldrons from the Hidden Right Family, their cauldrons also come from the Xuandan Sect—that is, the Five Luminaries Sect—so it was never a long-term solution. But since you've found one, then there's no problem!"

"Yes, but the current difficulty is making this second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron more intelligent!" Wei Zhao said. "It's like this..."

As he spoke, Wei Zhao explained in detail to Leader Bai the principles and functions of the new "first- and second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron" that Han Jingyi had invented.

"Oh? So this cauldron is actually that formidable?" Leader Bai was a veteran alchemist whose understanding of alchemy was even deeper than Wei Zhao's. Hearing that such a cauldron existed, he was immediately astonished, and he also knew what kind of impact the appearance of such a cauldron would have on alchemists!

"Yes, but this white energy stone is very rare..." Wei Zhao said. "Here is a map that a friend gave me. It's said that in the distant Haku Namata Desert there is a white energy stone mine, and inside it there are vast quantities of white energy stones..."

"The Haku Namata Desert? You want to go there to retrieve the energy stones?" Leader Bai frowned at once upon hearing this! RS
