Martial Master

“Alright, alright, that’s enough, everyone stop!”

Qin Chen forcefully clapped his hands and shouted, “Everyone quiet down!”

With this loud shout, everyone immediately shut their mouths, but each person still had red faces and thick necks, looking at Qin Chen as if he were an unmatched beauty, wishing they could pounce on him right away.

However, their gazes were all filled with a fervent fervor, even emanating a profound sense of respect.

Qin Chen frowned and said, “What do you think I am? I’m very busy, why should I answer your questions for free? Do you think I have nothing better to do?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the scene turned dejected. Indeed, he was a master alchemist far beyond their reach, able to explain those earlier concepts was already a stroke of luck, so why should he help them solve their problems in refining?

“However, I’m not that unreasonable. Here’s the deal, you write down all your doubts and hand them to this beautiful lady.” Qin Chen pointed at Xiao Yin and said, “No one can exceed three questions, and also write down your compensation. I will select some of the questions to answer. Of course, I don’t have too much time, so I may not answer many, I hope everyone understands.”

He smiled at the dumbfounded Xiao Yin and said, “Beauty, please filter the questions submitted. Some of them aren’t worth it, so just filter those out. I’m very busy. As for the other questions, please register them, and I’ll collect them in a couple of days to answer everyone one by one!”

“Ah?”

Everyone was completely stunned. He wants to charge for his answers?

After the surprise, they soon regained their senses. Indeed, the master is busy every day, how could he have the time to answer everyone’s questions individually? Charging a fee was just to weed out those with insincere intentions.

Right, it must be like that.

Otherwise, if everyone asked questions, the master wouldn’t have to work anymore, he could just answer them.

Xiao Yin was also completely dazed. Not only did Qin Chen assign her the task of collecting questions, but he even gave her some filtering authority. This meant that if these alchemists wanted their questions answered, wouldn’t they all have to curry favor with her?

Before this thought could settle in her mind.

Swish!

The gazes of all the alchemists in the room turned to Xiao Yin, each one filled with fervor, radiating a hungry light as if they were wolves and tigers.

Suddenly being stared at by dozens of gray-haired old men, each one a master alchemist from the Alchemy Pavilion with cultivation no lower than Martial King level, Xiao Yin couldn't bear it. She was scared silly by the intensity of their gazes, feeling as if she couldn't breathe under the pressure.

“Xiao Yin, I feel a connection with you. How about I adopt you as my goddaughter?” Master Zhao Ruohui was the first to step forward, his face full of flattery as he spoke.

“Huh?”

Xiao Yin was completely stunned. Adopt her as a goddaughter? She felt dizzy. She was just an ordinary girl from a normal family in Dan Dao City. She got into the Alchemy Pavilion because she worked diligently, looked decent, and most importantly, was willing to work hard without complaints. Her family had worked at the Alchemy Pavilion, but they were all in the lowest professions.

The many alchemists present had always seemed high and mighty in her eyes, especially Master Zhao Ruohui, who was like an idol to her.

Now he actually wants to adopt her as a goddaughter? What qualifications does she have?

For a moment, she felt so dizzy she could faint.

“Seriously, this is happening?”

The other alchemists were all up in arms.

Despicable, too despicable! To even say such words as adopting a goddaughter, especially from Zhao Ruohui, they couldn’t even refute it. It was simply shameless.

However, since even Zhao Ruohui had no shame, what did they need to keep it for?

“Xiao Yin, I already have a daughter, how about I take you as my apprentice?”
