“Whether it’s Kang Shi or the others, they’re all here for us. Since they’re here for us, we’ll make the best use of them.”

“…”

“Let’s bring him to the Medicine Sect first before addressing him openly. We can obtain any pills we desire.”

“…”

“I’ll handle this matter. You observe from the sidelines. The affairs of the clan will be under our control in the future. You need to learn how to manage things steadily,” the First Elder asserted.

Kang Yan remained slightly dissatisfied, but his father’s reasoning made sense.

His discontent stemmed not from anything else but his aversion to Kang Shi being in the spotlight, no matter the circumstances.

If they utilized him, they would still attract attention.

Kang Yan wished for Kang Shi, this seemingly worthless individual, to continue being unremarkable.

The First Elder patted Kang Shi’s shoulder and conveyed, “Yan’er, now that you’ve matured, Father’s influence in the clan has strengthened. As we’re no longer the same as before, we need to adapt. We must become magnanimous. If he can be of use, we’ll tolerate him. Ultimately, it’s still within your control.”

Understanding his son’s sentiments, the First Elder knew that trifles wouldn’t concern him when aiming for greatness.

Although Kang Yan comprehended, he couldn’t entirely let go. He nodded reluctantly. “Father, I understand.”

The First Elder nodded approvingly. That was more like it.

“It’s good that you understand,” the First Elder replied.

He signaled his men to summon Kang Shi and instructed him to perform a task joyfully.

While Kang Yan lingered nearby, the First Elder awaited further developments.

During this time, the First Elder refrained from further discussion. He aimed to use this period to contemplate how to handle Kang Shi’s situation.

After a brief while…

Kang Shi approached.

He appeared lively, yet somewhat unkempt.

“First Elder, what brings you here?” Kang Shi bowed and inquired, maintaining a balanced demeanor.

The First Elder gazed at Kang Shi.

He sensed a subtle change in Kang Shi, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

Concealing his thoughts, he said, “I heard you’ve been refining numerous pills lately, and their effects are quite remarkable?”

Gu Chaoyan quickly discerned that the First Elder had learned about the pills and was gearing up to manage the situation.

Kang Shi smiled and disclaimed, “I dabbled in it casually. Disciples often engage in sporadic pill refining. It’s a common practice. Occasionally, when I refine a surplus, I exchange them with fellow disciples. If they find it worthwhile, they willingly participate.”

“…”

“I’m not actually proficient in pill refining,” Kang Shi insisted.

The First Elder chuckled. “Why so modest?”

“…”

“I comprehend the situation. Your cultivation has remained stagnant. Instead of this, why not consider joining the Medicine Sect? The Medicine Sect has been short of hands in recent years. Rest assured, with your father as the Clan Leader, regardless of your destination, the clan will treat you well.”

“…”

“What are your thoughts?”

“Nothing.” Gu Chaoyan directly declined.

“Kang Shi, don’t be unappreciative. With your current cultivation level, if there’s no improvement within the next two years, you’ll be compelled to work outside the clan. I’m just suggesting this for your own benefit…”
