"Director Wu, you're back! Just in time, you should head back and rest early. There's nothing much left to do here."

The few deputy directors in the conference room smiled as they saw Wu Xu.

"No matter? Has the Alchemy Pavilion lifted the ban on our branch?" Wu Xu was astonished.

"That shouldn't be the case. If the Alchemy Pavilion were to lift the ban, Jia Fang wouldn’t be unaware, nor would he fail to inform you."

"That's not the case. Director Lu Yang used his connections to find someone, and now they have gone to the Alchemy Pavilion to plead our case. It shouldn't be a problem."

"Found someone? Who?"

Wu Xu furrowed his brow and couldn't help but ask.

From Jia Fang's words, he had understood the whole situation and naturally knew the key was related to Qin Chen.

If that’s the case, if Director Lu Yang didn’t find the right person, it might not be effective.

"Hehe, Director Lu found Prince Qi of the royal family, and also Master Duan Yue from the Bloodline Holy Land. With their identities, along with some connections with Master Liu Guang, lifting the ban shouldn’t be an issue."

"Indeed, Prince Qi is a prince of the Great Qi Kingdom, the brother of His Majesty, while Master Duan Yue is a first-tier bloodline master from the Bloodline Holy Land and holds a respected position there. With both of them intervening, the Alchemy Pavilion would have no reason to refuse."

"Yesterday, our branch really offended the Alchemy Pavilion, but Master Liu Guang should not genuinely want to ban us, after all, they still need to do business in the marketplace. Upon careful thought, they might just want to find a way to step down."

"With Prince Qi and Master Duan Yue's involvement, the face is covered; Master Liu Guang would have no reason to continue banning us."

The deputy directors all smiled and looked relaxed.

After worrying all night, knowing that the situation could be resolved lifted a heavy stone from their hearts, and their spirits became much brighter.

One must say, although Director Lu Yang is not very reliable and usually doesn't manage affairs, his connections in the royal capital are still quite solid. In just one night, he managed to bring Prince Qi and Master Duan Yue to the forefront, which is not something an ordinary person can achieve.

Hearing the relaxed words of the group, Wu Xu staggered, his mind spinning, nearly fainting.

"Prince Qi? Master Duan Yue? What on earth is Lu Yang doing? Is he trying to get our branch killed?"

His face flushed red, he couldn't help but roar out.

"Director Wu, what's wrong with you?"

The few deputy directors were startled by Wu Xu's roar and couldn't help but look over.

Wu Xu is the first deputy director of the branch and holds the highest position among those present.

Since he was so enraged, the others felt a bit tense.

"What's wrong with me?"

The more they asked, the angrier Wu Xu became.

"Do you know who we offended this time? How dare Lu Yang bring people to plead? Does he have a pig's brain?"

"Were we not offending Master Liu Guang from the Alchemy Pavilion?"

The deputy directors looked at each other, confused.

"What’s wrong with Director Wu? Did he eat gunpowder? How did his temper change so explosively after going out?"

"Liu Guang, damn it."

Wu Xu was so furious he felt like spitting blood.

If it were just offending Liu Guang, or if the Alchemy Pavilion only wanted to give them a warning, then Lu Yang's actions might not be wrong.

With the face of Prince Qi and Master Duan Yue, the Alchemy Pavilion could have an opportunity to step down.

But now, it’s not just about Liu Guang! That was an order given by the head of the Alchemy Pavilion himself.

This is completely two different matters.

"You Zhao Qirui, although you are a prince, your reputation is so bad, and you have no real power. Apart from being a member of the royal family, what face do you have?"

"As for Duan Yue, he indeed has great face in the Bloodline Holy Land, and in terms of status on the continent, he might even be above the Alchemy Pavilion."
