Alchemy Master

Chapter 161, Accidentally Entering a Lady’s Chamber

Translator: Silavin

“Well…” Hearing what Qin Yichen said, Qin Baihe’s heart stirred, but he hesitated. He was still very nervous.

Although he knew Qin Yichen was his Grandson, this was still their first meeting.

“Father, Yichen is your Grandson, not an outsider. There’s no need to be so formal with him.” Qin Haoran and Du Binglan urged from the side.

“Haaa… I’ve let you suffer too much…” When Qin Baihe’s gaze fell on Du Binglan, it was filled with guilt. He knew very well how he had treated his Daughter-in-law in the past. Yet, she still held no grudges against him. This deeply moved him.

“I should thank Father for not separating us.” Du Binglan said gratefully.

Back then, she had no one to rely on. If he had really wanted to deal with her, a woman without any support, it would not have been difficult. Yet, Qin Baihe did not do that. Although he has a bad temper, he simply could not bring himself to be that cruel.

Under the couple’s persuasion, Qin Baihe agreed with tears in his eyes.

Qin Yichen and the others took him and left the Qin Family Residence.

As for Qin Haomin and his Son, they stayed behind at the Qin Family Residence on the pretext of cleaning up the mess. Even if they were thick-skinned, they did not have the face to go along with them.

After the group left the Qin Family Residence, the onlookers made way for them.

The gazes directed at Qin Yichen were full of passion, awe and admiration. When they looked at Qin Baihe, their eyes were filled with envy.

Perhaps a few days ago, some people had disdained this slightly vain old man, even treating him coldly. But after today, he would become someone they could never hope to reach!

…

In the same tavern, which was still noisy, Old Wu sat there, no longer boasting about his past glories. He was just silently drinking. His slightly furrowed brow suggesting he had something on his mind.

“Still drinking?” Qin Haoran walked in and sat down beside him.

Old Wu looked up at this moment.

“Come on, let’s go to my place. I’ll go buy some good dishes later, and we Brothers can have a proper drink.” He patted Qin Haoran’s shoulder comfortingly.

Obviously, he still thought Qin Haoran had been driven out of the Qin Family Residence. Of course, if Qin Haoran had not brought Li Qun with him, he probably would not have been able to see his Father.

“I’m afraid that won’t work. Not today.” Qin Haoran was touched by his concern, then said under his puzzled gaze, “We’ve just picked up my Father. Right now, we are heading back to my place. I came in to invite you to come along.”

“To your place?” Old Wu asked in confusion, “You have a place to stay in this Royal City?”

“Yes, it’s my Son’s, or so you could say.”

“Oh? Not bad. I might as well go see what my Little Nephew looks like.” Old Wu was quite forthright, so he stood up and walked out of the tavern with Qin Haoran.

Outside on the street, Qin Yichen was accompanying Master Qin Baihe, chatting with the old man. Once they started talking, his Grandfather became more talkative, asking how their Family had gotten by all these years.

Qin Yichen naturally only spoke of the good things.

Qin Baihe was of course delighted, especially feeling Qin Yichen’s sincere care and respect towards him. His smile grew deeper, and he seemed to have become years younger.

Just as they were chatting happily, Qin Haoran and Old Wu came out.

“Old Patriarch.” Old Wu first greeted Qin Baihe, his Elder. When he raised his head, he noticed Qin Yichen standing beside Qin Baihe. Suddenly, his pupils dilated sharply, his drunkenness was completely gone. “Aren’t you that…”

He liked to boast, and of course, he would join in on any excitement. Like the Alchemy Competition, and the Princess choosing a Husband. He had been present at both events.

How could Old Wu not recognize Qin Yichen, the protagonist of both major events!?

“Yichen, this is your Uncle Wu. In the past, your Uncle Wu helped me a lot,” Qin Haoran intentionally said this.

“What?” While Old Wu was still completely dumbfounded, Qin Yichen walked over, bowed to him, and respectfully greeted, “Uncle Wu!”

It was just one title, made up of only two words, but it instantly made Old Wu feel elated, as if he was floating on clouds. He wanted to excitedly rush into the tavern and shout, ‘Did you see that? Did you see? Qin Yichen called me Uncle!’

“Uh… uh…” But from his throat, only these sounds came out, and he could not even take a step.

“Old Wu, come on, today we drink until we’re drunk!” Qin Haoran pulled the still dazed Old Wu along, heading towards the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce.

Today was a day that would be remembered by many for a long time to come. The same could be said for Qin Yichen.

In his previous life, he had no relatives. He was left, living alone in this world. He could not even find the value of his existence, and could only focus all his energy on the Dao of Alchemy.

But what did it matter how great his achievements were!? He did not even have anyone to share this joy with.

Family and outsiders were completely different. Right now, Qin Yichen was experiencing a feeling he had never had before. Seeing the smiles and pride on the faces of his Father, Mother, and Grandfather, he felt more accomplished than when he had become an Alchemy Saint.

On this day, Qin Haoran got drunk, Qin Baihe got drunk, and Old Wu got even more drunk.

Qin Yichen, in his two lifetimes, got drunk for the first time.

When returning to his room, in a daze, he stumbled into a room where the lights were still on. In his blurred vision, he smelled a fragrance that penetrated his heart, then fell straight onto the bed. It felt as if he was lying on a pile of cotton, soft and smooth. It made him *grunt* comfortably a few times before falling asleep.

This was destined to become a morning many would never forget…

After finishing her morning exercise, Shu Xin found it strange that her Sister had not gotten up yet, so she walked towards Shu Ruyan’s quarters.

To her surprise, Shu Ruyan’s door was half-open.

“How careless of her.” Shu Xin muttered in confusion, then pushed open the door and walked in, only to see a scene that made her blush.

On the bed, a man was lying across it, pressing down on her Sister. Not only that, but one of his hands had also slipped inside Shu Ruyan’s undergarments. Both were in disarray, making this scene somewhat unsightly.

“Isn’t he going too far!?” Shu Xin screamed, covering her blushing cheeks as she ran out, simultaneously waking up Shu Ruyan.

The unusual situation quickly made Shu Ruyan blush.

She quickly tried to push Qin Yichen away, but she could not move him. Instead, due to her actions, Qin Yichen let out a heavy alcohol-laden breath that wafted across her cheeks. The hand inside her undergarments became even more restless, kneading slightly.

As an unusual feeling arose, Shu Ruyan’s face turned as red as a ripe pomegranate. Even so, she bit her lip and did not cry out.

Seeming to recall what had happened last night, her cheeks flushed even redder, as if water could drip from them.
