The Crown Prince also showed a hint of worry on his face, but he felt that Terra Su didn’t seem like a reckless person, so he remained silent for the moment, observing the situation.
Following closely behind Ma Rongtian, the Third Prince couldn’t hide the trace of smugness in his eyes. The Crown Prince’s people were just not up to par, like this Terra Su, who seemed only capable of shooting himself in the foot.
“Master, it’s him. He hit the wrong person earlier. The one who hit me before was him,” Ma Rongtian pointed at Terra Su and said to Grandmaster Huang.
In an instant, all eyes turned to Terra Su and Grandmaster Huang.
Many people had a slightly gloating look in their eyes, eager to see what fate would befall Terra Su today. After all, many knew that Grandmaster Huang was notoriously ill-tempered.
Many martial practitioners and alchemists who had interacted with Grandmaster Huang, no matter how respectful they were, could still be scolded harshly for a minor mistake, or even beaten directly.
Not to mention someone who had hit his disciple. It was foreseeable that Terra Su’s fate today would be quite miserable.
However, what surprised everyone present was that Grandmaster Huang and Terra Su looked at each other for a long time without speaking, and the expected scene of Grandmaster Huang beating Terra Su did not occur.
After a long while, Grandmaster Huang sighed deeply and said with a bitter smile, “Young friend Terra Su, I really didn’t expect the person Ma Rongtian mentioned to be you. This disciple of mine is ignorant, I hope you can forgive him.”
Terra Su smiled faintly. It was obvious that Ma Rongtian had exaggerated the facts, portraying him as a bully, to get Grandmaster Huang to come.
Terra Su shook his head and said calmly, “It’s alright.”
Grandmaster Huang immediately turned around and slapped Ma Rongtian without hesitation, scolding, “You fool, you’ve disgraced me completely. Can’t you see with your eyes? This is young friend Terra Su, an old friend of mine!”
“Even if he hits you, you should take it. No, even if he hits you on one side of your face, you should offer the other side!”
Grandmaster Huang’s reaction left Ma Rongtian stunned.
He had thought that with his master’s hatred for evil, as long as he exaggerated Terra Su’s actions, his master would definitely beat Terra Su senseless.
But the development of events was completely contrary to Ma Rongtian’s expectations.
No matter how he thought about it, Ma Rongtian couldn’t understand why his master’s attitude changed so drastically upon seeing Terra Su, even slapping him. Did Terra Su use some kind of sorcery?
Not to mention Ma Rongtian, even Owen Situ was utterly shocked. He had been waiting to see Terra Su get beaten by Grandmaster Huang, but instead, Grandmaster Huang became Terra Su’s old friend. This twist was too sudden!
Before Owen Situ could figure it out, Grandmaster Huang suddenly appeared in front of him and punched him to the ground, followed by a flurry of punches and kicks.
The scene was silent, everyone quietly watching Grandmaster Huang beat Owen Situ, even Patriarch Situ didn’t dare to utter a word. After all, it was Grandmaster Huang, who would dare to say anything against him?
In their hearts, they no longer dared to underestimate Terra Su. Terra Su was too extraordinary; not only did the Crown Prince treat him with respect, but even Grandmaster Huang valued him so highly, even calling him an old friend.
The significance of the term “old friend” was very weighty.
At this moment, the most frustrated person was Owen Situ. He had been inexplicably beaten by Ma Rongtian earlier, which could be excused as a case of mistaken identity, but now he was being beaten by Grandmaster Huang.
The key point was that Owen Situ didn’t dare to fight back. Grandmaster Huang was not someone he or the Situ Family could offend. So even though the beating was painful, Owen Situ could only grit his teeth and endure it.
As for the Crown Prince, his eyes were shining. He originally thought Terra Su was just a martial genius, but he didn’t expect Terra Su to have such terrifying connections with Grandmaster Huang!
If he could recruit Terra Su, wouldn’t that mean Grandmaster Huang might also be at his disposal?
A third-grade Alchemy Grandmaster carried immense weight. It was no exaggeration to say that if a third-grade Alchemy Grandmaster openly supported a prince, that prince’s position as heir to the throne would be almost guaranteed.
The Crown Prince hadn’t dared to think that far yet, but his assessment of Terra Su’s value had undergone a complete transformation, and he wished he could recruit Terra Su immediately.
“Dean Jackson Guo of the Elixir Path division of Anyang Academy has arrived!”
“Grandmaster Bruce Sun of the Alchemy Guild has arrived!”
At this moment, two announcements came from outside.
Then, two old men walked into the venue one after the other, both wearing shiny alchemist badges on their chests, one a third-grade and the other a second-grade.
“Crown Prince, we are late. I hope you won’t hold it against us,” said the old man wearing the third-grade alchemist badge with a smile.
The Crown Prince naturally recognized this old man as Dean Jackson Guo of the Elixir Path division of Anyang Academy and quickly said, “Dean Guo, what are you saying? You are busy with your affairs, and I’m already very happy that you could grace us with your presence.”
“The Crown Prince’s banquet is something we naturally have to attend.”
The old man wearing the second-grade alchemist badge also smiled faintly.
“Greetings, Grandmaster Bruce Sun,” the Crown Prince quickly saluted this old man. Although he seemed inferior to Dean Jackson Guo, being only a second-grade alchemist, his fearsome aspect was that he was an important figure in the Alchemy Guild of Anyang City.
Although the Alchemy Guild wasn’t as influential as the Heavenly Elixir Hall, it was still a significant force with far-reaching influence.
“Hmm, is something happening here at the Crown Prince’s place?” Bruce Sun asked, looking around, and then he saw Grandmaster Huang beating Owen Situ nearby.
“Grandmaster Huang! I didn’t expect to see you here. What a pleasure,” Bruce Sun said in surprise. Grandmaster Huang rarely left the Heavenly Elixir Hall, so it was unexpected to see him at the Crown Prince’s banquet today.
“Help, help!” Owen Situ seized the opportunity to cry out. Earlier, he didn’t dare to resist because Grandmaster Huang was an alchemist, and a third-grade Alchemy Grandmaster at that. But now, with two more alchemists present, and one of them being Jackson Guo, also a third-grade Alchemy Grandmaster, perhaps Grandmaster Huang would spare him for their sake.
“Grandmaster Huang, what misunderstanding do you have with this young man?” Jackson Guo asked in surprise upon seeing the scene.
