Chapter 208: A Natural Cooperation
The best seats at the Alchemist’s Platform were still not fully occupied.
The group from the Alchemist Association sat down in this area.
As the host of this Alchemist Gathering, the Feng family naturally took charge of all the arrangements, and they wouldn’t let others steal the show.
“Haha, my previous guess was correct. This Alchemist Gathering is indeed a battle of dragons and tigers!”
“Have you seen those young people standing beside the Vice President of the Alchemist Association?
“They seem to be the new generation of Alchemist Association’s rising stars!”
“They are also the new talents in the pill-making world. They are here to make a name for themselves.”
“One of them is named Bai Xiu, and his reputation is even greater than Liu Ming’s!”
Many onlookers’ gazes gathered on a young man sitting beside the Vice President.
This young man had a slender figure, a handsome face, and hair that was half white, giving him an otherworldly aura.His face was calm, his eyes indifferent, as if he wasn’t very interested in this Alchemist Gathering.
At this time, Liu Ming, who was standing beside Feng Mingyan, had an extremely serious expression.
Before the Alchemist Association’s people arrived, he had been very calm and confident.
“Don’t worry, Liu Ming, you don’t need to feel pressured. Although the Alchemist Association’s people are quite skilled, I still have more faith in you.”
Feng Mingyan comforted him in a timely manner.
Liu Ming nodded silently: “This person is a strong opponent. Even if I have confidence in defeating him, it’s unlikely I can stop him from entering the top three.”
He paused, then continued, “Besides me, the other alchemists brought by the Feng family probably don’t have the ability to compete for the top three.”
His words were extremely arrogant, showing his unparalleled self-confidence.
Of course, they were also filled with affirmation towards the Alchemist Association.
When Feng Mingyan heard this, he nodded.
His thoughts had already turned to other things.
His gaze swept across the Wind Bell Square, searching for something.
He still hadn’t seen Feng Qingya and the others arrive, and he let out a slight sigh of relief.
Although last night’s events might still have some unexpected changes, it was hard to say for now.
But as long as Feng Qingya’s alchemists couldn’t participate in the Alchemist Gathering, it would be considered a success.
However, just as Feng Mingyan was thinking this, a sudden, intense gust of wind sounded across the Wind Bell Square.
Everyone present was shocked.
Even the hosts of this gathering, the Feng family, or Tuoba Junlin and the Alchemist Association’s people, had never made such a grand entrance.
Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise, and then they couldn’t help but feel a sense of astonishment.
“Didn’t they say that the two alchemists brought by Miss Feng disappeared last night?”
“And now she’s actually here.”
“I was wondering who’s so bold, and it turns out to be her. That’s no problem.”
“……”
The murmurs of discussion suddenly erupted.
The arrivals were none other than Mu Lao and Feng Qingya.
The two of them rode on flying swords, their sword lights flashing as they directly appeared in front of the Feng family’s people.
However, the Feng family’s area was already full, and there was no seat left for her.
Seeing Feng Qingya’s exquisite face, Feng Lie’s heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to say something, but ultimately let out a sigh.
After last night’s events, he had already begun to doubt his previous decision.
Looking at Feng Qingya, compared to Feng Mingyan, the gap between them seemed too obvious.
And when he caught a glimpse of Tuoba Junlin, who was sitting not far away, looking over, his heart firmed up again.
“I thought the Feng family would at least leave a seat for me.”
“I guess I was too optimistic.”
Feng Qingya glanced at Feng Lie and the others with a hint of a smile on her lips.
At this time, it was impossible to discern her emotions.
Seeing Feng Qingya like this, Feng Mingyan instinctively wanted to mock her.
However, since Feng Lie and Feng Baozhao didn’t say anything, he wisely kept quiet.
At this time, Feng Lie finally spoke up, his tone complex: “Since you’re here, find a seat yourself.”
“You’re also a part of the Feng family, and this gathering is hosted by the Feng family, so you should understand and not need special treatment.”
When he said this, the ancestor’s tone was laced with a hint of dignity.
“Hehe…”
Feng Qingya let out a laugh, although it was beautiful, it was tinged with a hint of sadness and self-mockery.
She directly walked past the Feng family’s people.
The ancestor’s words had just shattered the last shred of hope in her heart.
At this time, Mu Lao, who was following behind Feng Qingya, had a hint of concern in his eyes.
“Ancestor, the family needs to develop, but maybe it doesn’t need to rely on external power. Maybe there are already people within the family who can turn the tide, you just choose not to see them.”
Mu Lao, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, was only a protector of a Feng family member, but he dared to speak to the ancestor like this, which was quite bold.
But at this time, he didn’t care about the consequences, and after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he had gained some confidence in protecting Feng Qingya.
After saying this, Mu Lao didn’t wait for the Feng family’s reaction and quietly followed Feng Qingya.
Feng Lie’s expression didn’t show anger, but it became even more complex.
Today, the Feng family had many hidden challenges, and he didn’t want to waste his energy on Feng Qingya.
“Niece Qingya, your father was a close friend of mine when he was alive, come here,” Sikong Tingyun, the master of Spirit Sound Valley, said with a smile.
Hearing this, Feng Qingya’s lips curled up into a smile again.
Without hesitation, she walked to the Spirit Sound Valley’s location and sat down beside Sikong Tingyun.
Looking at this combination, the surrounding onlookers felt like a bolt of lightning had struck.
The current situation seemed like a natural alliance between the two.
Wasn’t this all caused by the Feng family themselves?
Moreover, Sikong Tingyun’s words weren’t empty, as Feng Qingya’s father had a good relationship with him when he was alive.
Although Sikong Tingyun didn’t deliberately take care of Feng Qingya after her father’s death, it was reasonable for them to cooperate now.
If Sikong Tingyun was truly supporting Feng Qingya out of loyalty to her father, it could bring significant trouble to the Feng family.
…
On the Wind Bell Square, many people had different thoughts.
In the lower city, two people wrapped in black robes were riding a narrow flying sword, rapidly approaching Wind Bell Island.
“Xuening, let’s hurry up, we can’t be late.”
These two people were none other than Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
They had left the broken courtyard early in the morning, changed into these mysterious outfits, and only then realized they had run too far away in their panic last night.
Yunmeng City was too big, and they had been careful and cautious on their journey to this border.
They were already late when they finally arrived at Wind Bell Island.
“I hope Miss Feng is waiting for us upstairs. If they didn’t go, we might be in danger.”
