Alchemy Master

Chapter 423, Bamboo Zither

Translator: Silavin

“Young Advisor Wu, I beg you, Qiao Yu is my only Granddaughter, please spare her…” The old man kept kowtowing to the young man with oiled hair and a powdered face. His forehead was already bleeding, but the young man remained completely unmoved and even showed annoyance on his face.

“That beautiful young lady is so pitiful…”

From a corner of the inn came sighs, but they were obviously wary of Young Advisor Wu’s identity, so no one stepped forward to defend the old man and young lady.

A few hot-blooded young men wanted to play hero and save the beauty, but they were all held back by some older men who whispered something in their ears, causing their faces to dramatically change.

After a glance, Qin Yichen understood what was happening.

However, after his gaze swept through, it fell on the bamboo zither in front of the young woman.

In others’ eyes, the bamboo zither might just seem exquisite and delicate, but Qin Yichen saw much more.

Judging from the craftsmanship of the zither, it was not merely exquisite, but extremely refined.

Even with Qin Yichen’s discerning eye, he could not find any flaws on the zither. This was enough to prove that whoever crafted this zither was definitely no ordinary person.

[Could it be…] Suddenly, something stirred in Qin Yichen’s heart, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes, and then he strode toward the old man and the young woman.

“You old fool! If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll let you taste what I can do…” At the oily-faced young man’s signal, a servant grinned evilly as he rubbed his fists and reached for the old man’s collar.

*Pat!* But his half-extended hand was suddenly gripped by another hand, and no matter how he struggled, it was to no avail.

The one who intervened was, of course, Qin Yichen.

Jade Creek City was just a small city, not even comparable to Positively Tranquil City. The Wu Family, although the tyrant Force of Jade Creek City, with Spirit Realm servants that intimidated the common man, in Qin Yichen’s eyes, they were nothing.

Qin Yichen’s sudden appearance directly stunned everyone, and immediately all eyes were focused on him.

“Get lost!” With a casual push from Qin Yichen, the servant was sent flying out of the inn, covered in dirt, and unable to get up for a long time.

After doing this, he dusted off his hands as if he had done something trivial, then directly ignored Young Advisor Wu, and with a faint smile, helped the still dazed old man up and asked him. “May I ask, was the music just now performed by you two?”

“Indeed, it was performed by this old man and my Granddaughter…” Although the old man was grateful, his eyes clearly showed worry, evidently, he was very afraid of Young Advisor Wu.

“Brat, you dare to hit my servant?” The oily-faced Young Advisor Wu finally reacted, then shouted at Qin Yichen, and the remaining servants immediately surrounded him.

“Sir, please sit…” Qin Yichen acted as if he had not heard or seen anything, helping the old man to sit down on a chair.

During this, his fingers brushed over the bamboo zither in front of the young woman, and his eyes lit up again.

He became more confident about his guess.

[This craftsmanship! It definitely could not have been made by ordinary people! There is only one possibility – the Gongshu Clan!]

Perhaps this old man and young woman were not from the Gongshu Clan, but the zither had a certain connection with the Gongshu Clan. Perhaps he could find some clues about the Gongshu Clan from them.

“Bastard!”

Qin Yichen’s disregard angered Young Advisor Wu. “Attack! Cripple him for me!”

At his command, the servants all charged at Qin Yichen.

“Benefactor, be careful!” The young woman warned, watching as the servants pounced on Qin Yichen, her heart tightened, and the old man was also uneasy and nervous.

“Don’t worry.” After showing them a reassuring smile, Qin Yichen suddenly turned around, and immediately, his gentle spring-like demeanour transformed into the cold of winter.

Under the gaze of his indifferent eyes, the charging evil servants felt their spirits freeze, their movements instantly stiffened, and they were all covered in cold sweat.

*Hmph!* With a cold snort from Qin Yichen’, evil servants were all sent flying, landing in various places, breaking many tables and chairs, and falling to the ground in pain.

To deal with these few small characters in the Spirit Realm, he only needed to use his aura.

After blasting them away, Qin Yichen walked step by step toward the oily-faced Young Advisor Wu.

At this point, Young Advisor Wu was panicking. He wanted to escape, but his feet would not obey him.

“You… what do you want to do? I’m telling you, This Young Master is definitely someone you can’t afford to offend! My Father is the Advisor to the City Lord of Jade Creek City!”

He tried to use his Father’s status to intimidate Qin Yichen.

But it was useless.

Qin Yichen dared to kill even a Core Disciple from the Northern Depths Sect. What could he not do to this bully from this small place?

However, for someone so insignificant, even he dreaded the thought of needing to personally dirty his hand.

“Do you all want to live?” Qin Yichen coldly asked the surrounding servants who were moaning in pain.

“Please spare us, sir!” The servants obviously had no backbone, kowtowing to Qin Yichen one after another, each hitting their heads harder than the last, afraid that they were not showing enough sincerity.

“I can spare you, but you must do something for me.” Qin Yichen’s lips curled into a charming arc as he pointed at the terrified Young Advisor Wu and said to them, “Castrate him, or I’ll kill you all!”

“This…” They hesitated.

Castrating their Young Master would definitely not end well for them.

They were very clear about what kind of power their Young Master’s Family held in Jade Creek City.

But under Qin Yichen’s coercion, they obviously had no other choice.

“Young Master, forgive us!” After exchanging glances, they all stood up and approached Young Advisor Wu.

“What do you want to do!? I am your Young Master! If you dare to do anything to me, my Father won’t let you off!”

Young Advisor Wu was in fear and continued to threaten, but it only made them hesitate briefly. Then, a servant gritted his teeth and stepped on his crotch.

“Ah!” Immediately, a piercing scream came from Young Advisor Wu’s mouth, but the screaming did not last long before he rolled his eyes and fainted.

“Sir…” After dealing with him, the servants looked anxiously at Qin Yichen.

“Take him and get lost!” Having said that, Qin Yichen turned around and walked toward the old man and the young woman.

It seemed like he had let those servants go, but in fact, he had not. These accomplices would definitely receive their deserved punishment.

At the very least, Young Advisor Wu’s Father, the Advisor, would definitely not let them off.
