Duanmu Mansion, in Elder Duanmu’s study.

A person is kneeling on the ground, reporting everything that happened earlier at the Drunken Flower Pavilion.

While speaking, the person in front, behind the desk sat Elder Duanmu, and on the other side, Lui Chao, whose faces were already extremely unsightly.

”Explain clearly! What exactly is going on? Why did you say Yuan Qing Master is willing to turn against Sima Kun for that kid?” Behind the desk, Elder Duanmu’s face twitched fiercely, looking extremely unpleasant, and coldly interrogated.

Everyone belongs to Azure Dragon Ravine, and he certainly knows what kind of person Yuan Qing Master is!

He’s the most powerful alchemist in Azure Dragon Ravine, Top Grade Third-Level, even if it’s only half a step away from the Fourth Grade Alchemist Realm, right? But now, this, this...

”Sir, it’s like this. According to our informant’s report, apparently that kid surnamed Chen had some conflict with Sima Dong’s men on the street! He was chased away and later Sima Dong personally went to Drunken Flower Pavilion after him.”

At this point, the person took a slight pause, then hurriedly continued: ”Later, that kid and Sima Dong got into a ruckus at the Drunken Flower Pavilion, and Sima Dong was badly beaten. In a fit of anger, he threatened to have his brother personally deal with and kill that Chen kid. Then Yuan Qing Master and Lord Yand Zhou also arrived at the Drunken Flower Pavilion...”

”Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing Master personally beat Sima Dong up, and even declared if Lord Sima Kun wished to pursue the matter, they would make an uncompromising stand!”

The person recounted the entire incident in detail.

”What? Are you saying just because of one sentence, Yuan Qing personally beat up Sima Dong?” Hearing these words, Elder Duanmu was directly shaken to his core, abruptly stood up, and slapped the table.

What status does Yuan Qing hold?

To actually jeopardize his position and personally act like a hooligan in broad daylight to beat someone!

What is this? Elder Duanmu’s mind instantly became chaotic, his face became even more unsightly.

”Brother Duanmu, who is this Yuan Qing?” At this time, Lui Chao spoke with a gloomy expression.

He doesn’t know who Yuan Qing is, but he knows that Yand Zhou has already rejoined that kid! What does this mean?

Could it possibly mean Yand Zhou has already received affirmation from that kid and seen hope?

Can’t that kid possibly be such a formidable alchemist?

If this is true, then what did their previous doubts mean?

”This, this, this, Yuan Qing...” Elder Duanmu was at a loss for words when abruptly questioned by Lui Chao.

Who Yuan Qing is isn’t important, what’s critical is, with the noble status of Yuan Qing as a Top Grade Third-Level Alchemist, he became so emotionally charged for a young man! What does this signify?

Even if he’s foolish now, he can certainly use common sense to figure it out!

For such a proud alchemist to be so impressed, other than being a more formidable alchemist, who else could it be!?

”Brother Duanmu, I’m asking you? Who is Yuan Qing!?” Seeing Elder Duanmu remaining silent, Lui Chao’s eyes suddenly sank, speaking coldly.

He was now filled with complaints against Elder Duanmu. If it weren’t for him, he might not be in this situation now.

Why did he travel all the way to Eagle Gorge, to Azure Dragon Ravine? For what purpose?

He came to seek help, but now?

If Chen Fei truly could help him, but was driven away by himself, what is this!?

How is Lui Chao any different than a blind fool!?

”I, I... Brother Lub, please don’t be angry.” Seeing Lui Chao becoming angry, Elder Duanmu didn’t dare to pretend to be mute anymore. He quietly said: ”That Yuan Qing is a well-known alchemist of Azure Dragon Ravine. He, he...”

”What level is he?” Seeing Elder Duanmu evade the issue, Lui Chao’s face turned even darker, shouted loudly.

”... He, he is a Top Grade Third-Level Alchemist.” Elder Duanmu finally revealed. His face was full of indecision. After all, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn’t.

”What did you say? Top Grade Third-Level Alchemist!?”

Upon hearing this, Lui Chao’s emotions suddenly became agitated, his hand slammed heavily on the armrest, with a thunderous boom, the armrest turned to powder.

”Elder Duanmu, this is your good deed?”

Then he abruptly stood up, his aura surged, extremely agitated, with eyes filled with anger, coldly glaring at Elder Duanmu, speaking in a very hostile tone: ”Just because of a word, that Top Grade Third-Level Alchemist doesn’t care about his status and personally attacked! Duanmu, don’t tell me, this is what you meant by that kid absolutely can’t practice alchemy!”

”Damn it! If that kid truly can’t practice alchemy, what is this? Could this kid be the illegitimate child of that Top Grade Third-Level Alchemist?” Lui Chao was truly furious. What is this? Did he drive away a powerful alchemist brought to him?

To cause a Top Grade Third-Level Alchemist to be so agitated! So out of control! Disregard his status to personally attack someone.

Fearfully, this at least requires an alchemist above Fourth Grade to possess such might and prestige, right?

What did they accomplish now?

They actually claimed an alchemist above Fourth Grade absolutely can’t practice alchemy!?

This is just crazy! Offending an alchemist of Fourth Grade or higher, can you believe it?

To put it bluntly, this is a matter that could break the heavens!

”Brother Lui, don’t be mad, don’t be mad. I didn’t know either, did I? That kid is so young. You tell me, do you really believe he’s such a powerful alchemist?” Seeing Lui Chao truly angry, Elder Duanmu also lightly wiped the sweat from his forehead, his gaze flickering with malice and ferocity.

If the little brat had proven himself capable earlier, how could he possibly not believe?

damn it, that little brat did it on purpose! Just wanted to mess with them.

Elder Duanmu was filled with such thoughts at the moment. So, in the end, his tone wasn’t good.

”I, I... So, what should we do now?” While Lui Chao heard Elder Duanmu’s last tone, his expression changed somewhat, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and asked patiently.

He has urgent matters and needs to find a powerful alchemist to help him through difficulties. But now? They’ve driven the person away, what should he do?

”Actually, I think this matter might not be as bad as we imagine.” But at this time, Elder Duanmu slowly started speaking.

”Oh, how so?” Lui Chao’s eyes flickered, and he continued listening patiently.

”Think about it, this issue started with him inviting people to come; what does it prove?” Elder Duanmu shook his head, feeling like he had the wisdom in his grasp.

”Prove what?” Lui Chao frowned.

”It proves that he lacks people around him now.” Elder Duanmu shook his head, speaking with a cold smirk of certainty.

”He lacks people around him?” Lui Chao hesitated upon hearing this, then fell into deep thought.

”Exactly!” Elder Duanmu nodded and continued to analyze: ”I guess that kid has just become a Fourth Grade Alchemist not long ago. With no one around, he wants to gather some followers this way.”

”This can also explain why a Third-Level Alchemist would respect him so much.”

”Perhaps it’s not wrong, but...” Lui Chao nodded subconsciously but then said with some difficulty, ”But now he’s been driven away by us; is there any room for maneuver?”

”Why wouldn’t there be?”

Elder Duanmu said indifferently, an arrogant look on his face: ”Although we made mistakes in this matter, so what? I don’t believe he can refuse us, two mighty Foundation Establishment True Persons.”

”At worst, we can give him some face, offer some apology gifts, and let it pass. Do you think he’ll hold onto it? What good would it do him?”

In his view, they were two mighty Foundation Establishment True Person experts. Even if they have to lower their heads and apologize once, it would be resolved. What else can happen?

He doesn’t believe that kid would hold onto such a small issue!

Who are they? They are Foundation Establishment True Persons. They’re different in stature from those Qi Refining Realm trash.

Anyone with a working brain would know how to properly handle and judge, right?

Regarding this, Elder Duanmu seemed very confident.

”Hmm.”

After hearing Elder Duanmu, Lui Chao, as a Foundation Establishment True Person, gained some confidence as well. It indeed felt like that.

They are Foundation Establishment True Persons. Regardless of how angry the other party is, they can’t possibly hold onto them.

”Then let’s go quickly and apologize to that kid.” Then he slowly opened his mouth, regaining his composure. Then they left Duanmu Mansion to find Chen Fei.

However, no matter how confident they were, they still needed to make amends first.

Meanwhile, inside the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce, within Yuan Qing’s dedicated alchemist space.

Besides Chen Fei and others, Yuan Qing led three or four others of various ages inside. Among them, the oldest seemed even older than Yuan Qing himself, while the youngest was in their forties or fifties.

However, they all had one uniform characteristic, which was that they were esteemed guests of the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce and all Third-Level Alchemists or above.

One of them, upon seeing Quann Zhenyi, hesitated and exclaimed in surprise: ”Quann Zhenyi? Why are you here too?”

Evidently, he seemed to recognize Quann Zhenyi.

”Master Liu.” Quann Zhenyi immediately returned the gesture respectfully upon seeing the newcomer.

”Liu Qi, shut up and don’t speak yet.” But at this moment, Yuan Qing frowned and scolded him.

Without further ado, he respectfully pointed at Chen Fei and said: ”Everyone come here. This is Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, whom I told you about. You should all carefully observe how Master Chen performs alchemy later.”

”What? Him?”

Upon hearing Yuan Qing, the three or four people looked at him with strange expressions.
