Chapter 17: Alchemy Prodigy?

  After a while, the alchemists couldn't wait any longer and said: "Alright, we'll take this box to study first, it won't disturb you and Seventh Princess in your celebration."

  "What's this box for? Is it fun?" Little Defeat asked, puzzled.

  "It's not fun and games, we're not here to play. We need to open this box and get Ban's notes." The alchemists said seriously.

  "Notebook, are you referring to this book?" Suddenly, a book appeared in Xiao Baijiazi's hand.

  "Hmm, it's this alchemy notebook... Eh, no way... You, you..." The alchemists pointed at Xiao Bai, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

  "Ah......" At this time, everyone's mouth was wide open, staring at Xiao Baijiazi in surprise, unable to utter any sound.

  "There are still a few, one, two, three, four... five books in this box." Xia Baijiazi took out book after book, while the people present were still in a daze.

  "Are you sure you didn't just trick us, is this box really that hard to open?" The emperor and others began to suspect, doubting the alchemists for wanting to be the first to see the notes, so they deceived everyone into thinking the box couldn't be opened.

  But those present also knew that this possibility was extremely small.

  The alchemists immediately and solemnly denied: "No, absolutely not, how could we deceive the emperor? This box indeed requires a lot of effort and many difficulties to open, it's just..."

  "But why can a ten-year-old child open it so easily?" The emperor looked at the young defeatist, his eyes filled with puzzlement and even more eeriness.

  No, just now that box which many top alchemists couldn't open was opened by our Thirteen Young Master, and it was very easy for him to do so, without any hindrance at all, not even giving anyone time to notice.

  This left everyone feeling surprised and shocked, doubting whether they had seen it wrong, doubting the fact that was right in front of them.

  If it were another child, they might say he's a genius, but the Thirteenth Young Master isn't even as good as an ordinary person, how could he be a genius.

  "Perhaps he is an alchemy genius." Although it seemed impossible, the alchemist still raised this possibility.

  "It's impossible, he hasn't studied alchemy, such a dangerous thing, we wouldn't let him touch it." Long Anqi directly denied the possibility, as a mother, she knew her son's affairs clearly, at least this matter was clear.

  "That's right, young master doesn't know alchemy, he hasn't even read any alchemy books." The tiger girl on the side also nodded in agreement.

  If Long Anqi's words are not enough to convince people, then adding Hu Niang's words would be enough to make people believe without a doubt. Everyone knows that in recent years, Hu Niang has always been by the side of the Thirteenth Young Master, so she is clearer than anyone about what he has done.

  "Since he doesn't know alchemy, how can he open it? Is it another coincidence? This kid is really blessed by the goddess of luck, this is too incredible." The emperor and others began to discuss, they only had this explanation, using the thirteen little prince's incredible luck to explain.

  At this time, Seventh Princess spoke up and asked: "Ye Lang, how did you open this box?"

  And Seventh Princess's question also made everyone present suddenly think that when they were guessing something, the person involved was not in front of them, and it would be better to ask directly.

  Everyone is worried about one thing, and that is whether this person can clearly explain what happened.

  "What's there to open? It just opens like that. What's difficult about it?" As expected, the 13th young master's answer was completely inexplicable.

  "It seems like just luck, this is something that can't be explained." Everyone thought with a wry smile, if luck appears, it can overcome any difficulty.

  Is it really just luck?

  "These alchemy arrays, I'm sure I've never seen them before, but why do they give me a familiar feeling?" Xia Baijiazi muttered to himself as he looked at the alchemy notes, and then made a decision that left everyone stunned.

  "I'm going to learn alchemy, I want to read these books." After saying that, he put the five alchemy notebooks into his spatial ring, and the nearby alchemist who wanted to stop him couldn't react in time.

  "This, Little Leaf, can you just give us the five books? We have many more here, let's exchange them." The alchemists said as they took out many books, all of which were their treasured alchemy books that they wouldn't even take out normally, but now they didn't care.

  Xiao Ye Gongzi said something that shocked everyone after receiving those books.

  "I'll take these books, but I won't trade!"

  “……”

  The alchemists were desperate, looking at the emperor with pleading eyes. They now only hoped that the emperor would come out and preside over justice, finding a way to get those five alchemy notes back.

  Even if they didn't ask for help, the Emperor would still find a way, because he knew that if this were to fall into the hands of a small defeatist like them, it would be completely useless, and only by handing it over to these imperial alchemists could it be of any use to the Empire.

  In the end, after some negotiation, the Thirteen Young Masters handed over the alchemy notes, but only lent them for three days. Within these three days, they could copy all the alchemy notes.

  Don't forget that the Alchemy Notes are just notes for class and not some profound alchemical item. As long as you copy down the contents above, you'll have a notebook with the same functions.

  And this idea was proposed by our thirteen little lord, these people thought too complicated and didn't think of this simple aspect, which also made many people present feel ashamed.

  Sometimes, the key to solving a problem is very simple, but many people don't think simply and instead make it more complicated, causing the problem to become increasingly troublesome.

  "Can we have those books first, young Master Ye? We'll copy them for you..." The imperial royal alchemists asked weakly, and since they had a previous method, they would naturally think of this aspect.

  It's really a waste to let this young master take those rare books, if they can be taken back, they should be taken back. At this time, they don't care about their own dignity either, for the sake of their treasured books, they are willing to do whatever it takes.

  "Alright!" The Thirteenth Young Master agreed succinctly, but after that sentence, he added another one: "You guys have to copy all your books for me!"

  “……”

  Is this kid really as stupid as everyone says? I don't think so, he looks more like a little fox, is he pretending?

  At this time many people were suspicious, but it was only temporary. They didn't believe that someone could pretend to be like this, and had been pretending since childhood.

  In fact, the Thirteen Little Princes didn't have any special abilities either, it's just that he seemed to lack something, which made him weaker in some things but stronger in others, such as his memory problem before and the alchemy he was going to learn next.

  Maybe also his luck.
