Alchemy Master

Chapter 378, The Fate of a Small Person

Translator: Silavin

Upon meeting the manager of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, the wealthy old man could not contain his excitement.

Moreover, he discovered that the manager of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce seemed quite courteous towards him as well.

This made him even more elated.

If he could establish connections with the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, his influence would naturally rise like water lifting a boat.

Just as he was wondering why this was happening, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

“Uncle Li.” Qin Yichen stood up and greeted upon seeing the so-called manager of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce.

This manager of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was none other than the Patriarch of the Li Family, Li Yuanfei.

“It really is you! When did you return?” Upon seeing Qin Yichen in person, Li Yuanfei asked in surprise, then greeted the seated Qin Baihe, “Old Patriarch.”

Witnessing this scene, the wealthy old man standing at the doorway turned to stone!

Especially that address of ‘Old Patriarch’ from Li Yuanfei… made his heart skip a beat.

[It-it was… actually true!]

This was something he could not comprehend no matter how hard he tried. Because he knew the Qin Family very well, and the Qin Family did not have a youth named Qin Yichen. Furthermore, was the Qin Family Residence not still in decline right now?!

Various questions surfaced in his mind.

The ‘beauty’ in the main hall was also stunned, her opened mouth unable to close. She truly could not understand why Qin Yichen, whose name shook the Thousand Mist Empire, would turn out to be such an ordinary-looking person. Without any imposing aura to him, lacking the feel of someone in high position.

Standing beside Qin Baihe, he was just like a Grandson trying to please his Grandfather!

Why would someone in such a position still maintain such an ordinary mindset.

“And this is?” After some conversation, Li Yuanfei finally noticed the wealthy old man.

The reason he had been so courteous to the wealthy old man when entering was actually because of Qin Yichen. It was just that the wealthy old man had not realised this.

*Hmph!* The Old Patriarch merely glanced at the dazed wealthy old man once, letting out a cold snort before turning away, not even wanting to look at him again.

“I invited Uncle Li here actually because I wanted Uncle Li to meet this person,” Qin Yichen’s lips curved into a slight smile.

“Young Master is truly a reasonable person.” hearing these words, the wealthy old man thought Qin Yichen was going to introduce business to him, and he immediately got so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He nearly rushed forward to grab onto Qin Yichen’s leg.

“Hehe.” Qin Yichen smiled at him, and the wealthy old man who was about to pounce forward suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if being stared at by some ferocious beast – taking one more step forward would mean being torn to pieces.

He immediately froze in place, cold sweat pouring down.

At this moment, he finally realised that the youth before him was not some Young Master, but that truly powerful figure – Qin Yichen!

“From now on, my Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce will not do business with this man. Anyone or any Force associated with him, my Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce will sever all ties with them!” Qin Yichen’s voice rang through the hall word by word, echoing endlessly.

It was not that he was being heartless, but rather, the person before him was truly detestable.

If it were not for the Old Patriarch helping him leave the city back then, and providing him with funds, would he have achieved what he had today?

But what about him? Upon returning, he repeatedly humiliated Qin Yichen’s Grandfather, his former benefactor.

Qin Yichen had not laid hands on him only out of respect for the Old Patriarch.

“Grandfather, let’s go.” After speaking, Qin Yichen helped the Old Patriarch up, and together with Li Yuanfei, the three of them walked outside.

In the hall, the wealthy old man and that beauty collapsed to the ground, their eyes lifeless.

“It’s over…” The wealthy old man could anticipate what a huge impact this news would have on him and the Forces behind him once it spread.

Between the rising of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce and himself, anyone would make the correct choice.

…

On the road, after walking out, the Old Patriarch’s mood did not seem to improve.

In the past, he had truly treated that wealthy old man like a close friend, but to receive such treatment in return, he felt very hurt. His original anger was not out of pure rage at not being believed. Rather, it was more so due to his disappointment in what this ‘friend’ had become.

Still. he had regained face thanks to his Grandson Qin Yichen.

But what if he didn’t have Qin Yichen as his Grandson?

The outcome would have been different.

Considering his Grandfather’s mood, Qin Yichen changed the subject, saying to Li Yuanfei, “Uncle Li, do you know that Li Yuanba has returned?”

Li Yuanba had not entered the Heavenly Unicorn City, but had returned directly to Spreading Cloud City.

After all, that was the Ancestral Land of the Li Family.

“Yuanba has returned?” Li Yuanfei immediately became very anxious.

He had been quite worried about that burly man, fearing something might have happened to him outside. Upon hearing that Li Yuanba had returned, he could not contain himself anymore.

“Uncle Li should head back early, I’ll have people watch things here. Besides, isn’t Uncle Ye still here?” Qin Yichen smiled and said to him.

“Then I’ll take my leave first.” Li Yuanfei was in such a hurry that he did not even return to the Business Alliance, but immediately had people prepare a carriage and rushed towards Spreading Cloud City.

Overall, this was a minor drama, and nothing significant.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, after Lu Heze and others learned of this, they all tried to comfort the Old Patriarch, while Qin Yichen walked towards Princess Linghan’s palace.

In the garden, Princess Linghan sat in a pavilion, while in the flower beds, Little Ling’er played with two small beasts.

The harmonious and beautiful scene made Qin Yichen wish time had stopped.

He just stood quietly at the garden entrance, seemingly afraid that his entry would disrupt the entire scene.

“Daddy…” Until Little Ling’er came to tug at his pants did Qin Yichen snap back to reality.

Rubbing Little Ling’er’s hair, he looked up to meet Princess Linghan’s gaze.

Since their wedding day, when he had forcefully taken her as his Wife, she had shown a gentle and tender side before him.

And now, Qin Yichen was immersed in her deep, affectionate eyes, unconsciously walking towards her, then taking her into his embrace.

Lowering his head, he captured those crystal-clear, lovely lips.

“Mmm…” A satisfied moan escaped from Princess Linghan’s throat, her eyes becoming even more enchanting.

The soft body in his arms ignited the passion in Qin Yichen’s heart, without any hesitation, he picked up his beloved Wife and walked towards her room.

Soon after, some strange, incomprehensible sounds emerged from that room.

It continued for about an hour before finally stopping.

Afterwards, Princess Linghan lay lazily like a little kitten on Qin Yichen’s chest, her face still bearing a satisfied blush, looking particularly captivating.

Qin Yichen gently stroked her smooth hair, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
