Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2339

Inside Sovereign's Apothecary, Andrew had already finished what he was working on. Once Brielle got her hands on the Soul-Restoring Pill, she treasured it and immediately placed it in the vault.

With nothing else to do, Andrew figured it was time to leave. He could finally spare some time to head over to Chetvine Grand Auction House and investigate.

Amari grinned shamelessly. "Andrew, do you have time for a little chat?"

Andrew smiled. "You want to ask me how I became a ninth-grade supreme alchemist, right?"

Amari looked a bit embarrassed, chuckling awkwardly. "Well… something like that. Come on, you won't be stingy with your experience, will you?"

Andrew smiled warmly. "What's there to hide? Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you. We're fellow disciples, and I wouldn't hold anything back."

Amari beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly. "Ever since Mr. Maverick Zeroual disappeared, honestly, I've been pretty uneasy about it. Now that you're back in Chetvine and we've reunited, besides handling our current business, we should also keep an eye out for news about Mr. Zeroual."

Andrew nodded solemnly at this. "Don't worry. Mr. Zeroual is incredibly capable, and ordinary people can't touch him. Besides, you know he's not interested in worldly affairs. He loves exploring famous mountains and rivers, going on adventures. For all we know, he might be in some hidden paradise right now."

Amari said, "I hope so. The martial arts world in Holtrien is pretty chaotic these days. Down south, I heard Mr. Thornton was chased out and forced to step down from the Southern Martial Union. And the northern martial arts scene here in Chetvine is even more chaotic.

"Not only are there heavy grudges between the martial arts factions, but the major local families, wealthy clans, and even the powerful houses in Chetvine are all meddling, stirring things up behind the scenes."

Andrew remained calm. "Don't worry about all that. Just focus on your alchemy at Sovereign's Apothecary. By the way, Amari, I remember Mr. Zeroual mentioned you had a marriage arrangement in Chetvine, right?"

Amari's face flushed red as he snapped, "Marriage? What marriage? Andrew, stop teasing me. I'm old enough to be a great-grandfather. What marriage are you talking about? People would laugh at me."

Andrew's expression was serious. "I won't pry into your business. It's your life, and I won't interfere. But with Mr. Zeroual gone, I'll have to look out for you as your senior. If you're ever struggling, you can tell me. I'll help however I can. You've spent your life alone. If love found you in your later years, I'd honestly be happy for you."

Amari actually looked shy for a moment before stomping his foot. "Enough! You don't even have a partner yourself, yet you're worrying about me? I'm an old man! Whether I have someone or not doesn't matter. But you, you're not even 30 yet, young and talented with a bright future. If I had your looks and charm, I'd have women on each arm living the good life."
