“Why would Master Ouyang Zhengqi make such a request?”
“What kind of potion did this kid Qin Chen use on Master Ouyang Zhengqi?”
“Ouyang Nana has such a status, how could she possibly take care of a commoner from the Four-Domains?”
“That's too much.”
“Nana, just say the word, and I'll go teach that kid a lesson right away. A commoner from the Four-Domains thinks he can dream big, doesn't he even look at his own worth?”
Once Elder Gu left, many talented individuals in the hall were filled with killing intent.
“Shut up.”
With a sharp shout, the hall instantly fell silent.
Ouyang Nana's face turned pale as she tucked away the letter and angrily turned to leave.
“Elder Gu, you've really put me in a terrible spot.” On the other side, Qin Chen forced a bitter smile.
“Kid, how have I harmed you? If anyone is to blame, it's Master Ouyang Zhengqi who is harming you. He personally advised me several times before I left.” Elder Gu replied lightly.
Qin Chen was speechless, “Forget it, let it be.”
Although it was somewhat troublesome, Qin Chen didn't take it to heart. As long as he didn't provoke the other party, it would be fine. However, Ouyang Zhengqi, whom he thought was a righteous man, was turning out to be scheming.
“You need not worry too much. In the palace, at most, you'll just face some exclusion. As for what they will do to you, those guys still wouldn't dare to go that far. There are many experts from the Alchemy Pavilion staying here; no one will act recklessly.” Elder Gu glanced at Qin Chen and smiled.
Beside them, Ye Mo and Yan Chida were increasingly filled with jealousy.
“Let me introduce you to other places in the palace.”
Elder Gu walked ahead while Qin Chen and the others followed behind.
As they walked, Elder Gu introduced various places, indicating where the geniuses could walk and where the Martial Emperor strongholds of this Alchemy Pavilion were, which must not be disturbed.
The Ancient Yu Realm not only allowed peak sixth stage Martial Kings to break through to the realm of Martial Emperor, but it also greatly aided Martial Emperor experts in mastering Spatial Law. Therefore, geniuses were only part of it; many early, mid, and even late-stage Martial Emperors from various factions would also enter.
Thus, this palace was constructed to be incredibly vast, with endless wonders inside.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, Qin Chen paused as he felt a chilling aura enveloping him, as if a peerless divine weapon was about to pierce through him.
“Gu Qifeng has met with the Holy Maiden Ouyang.” Elder Gu bowed slightly in a certain direction. His gaze flickered over Qin Chen, revealing a hint of surprise, as if he was shocked that Qin Chen could also sense the anomaly.
Was it a coincidence? If it wasn't a coincidence, then this kid's perception was far too sharp. In contrast, Ye Mo and Yan Chida looked confusedly at the place he bowed, clearly unaware of what was happening.
In a flash of red shadow, Ouyang Nana emerged from behind a pillar. Her face was ashen, and she nodded at Elder Gu. Although Elder Gu was merely a steward in the palace, he had a great relationship with her second uncle and some connections with the Ouyang family, so she showed him a bit of respect. Otherwise, as the Holy Maiden, why would she care about a peak Martial Emperor who wasn’t even an alchemist?
Then she turned to Qin Chen, her eyes icy, “I don't know how you bewitched my second uncle, but I won’t take care of you. Give up on that thought. Also, change rooms immediately, don’t stay opposite me.”
Her tone was domineering, with no regard for how Qin Chen felt—just one meaning, “Get lost!”
Qin Chen chuckled and said, “Alright then, please help me pack and reapply for a new room.”
Did he really want to live opposite Ouyang Nana? He was thinking too much. The rooms were assigned uniformly, and if Ouyang Nana could help him reapply, he would be more than happy.
Ouyang Nana's gaze turned fierce, “Help you pack? Who do you think you are? You have one day; if you’re still staying opposite me after tonight, don’t blame me for being rude!”
