(MC POV)
I knocked on the alchemy room's door before entering, finding it filled to the brim with smoke.
"What the… Brendan?" I called out, instinctively taking a step back away from the door to avoid the smoke.
No answer.
"Brendan? Liehui?" I called out again, louder this time.
Still no answer.
I hurriedly summoned an air bubble around me before pushing my way through the smoke, trying to find my disciple and his servant within.
Perhaps this was the accident he was talking about?
Damnit, I hope this is nothing serious.
Still unsure of what this smoke was, I decided to just contain it within the house in case it triggers something or was linked to what Brendan was trying to do.
At least it seemed to be floating a distance above the ground so if Brendan and Liehui had collapsed, they would be free from breathing it in.
