“Yi Chen, what do you mean by this?”
Xiao Ya looked at the young man with displeasure, a hint of disgust evident in her eyes.
“What do I mean? Don't you know? These days, you should have been with those Commoners from the Five-Domains, yet you still claim to be some sort of genius. Heh, the land of the Five-Domains is remote and barren, a garbage heap. What kind of genius could possibly come from there?”
Yi Chen sneered at Xiao Ya: “You've been a little pavilion master in the Five-Domains for a while now, and you've probably forgotten your own identity. Spending every day with Commoners, you've become one yourself.”
“Hahaha!”
“Elder Brother Yi Chen is right; this Xiao Ya probably considers herself a Commoner now.”
“Previously, Xiao Ya even said she would recommend a alchemist from the Five-Domains to replace our Da Wei Dynasty in the Alchemy Pavilion's competition among a hundred dynasties. The Five-Domains is full of garbage; by doing this, she's probably embarrassed our Da Wei Dynasty's Alchemy Pavilion.”
Several young men followed Yi Chen, all sneering and mocking, their lips curling with derision.
Their actions immediately attracted the attention of customers in the Alchemy Pavilion.
“Xiao Ya, who are they?” Qin Chen glanced at Yi Chen and the others, frowning.
Xiao Ya's expression darkened, and she said in a low voice, “They are all disciples of Elder Jin Yuan from the Alchemy Pavilion. Yi Chen is Elder Jin Yuan's second disciple, already a mid-fourth grade alchemist at such a young age. His skills in alchemy are not inferior to mine at all. Elder Jin Yuan has never seen eye to eye with my master Elder Xu Bo, so naturally, their attitude towards me is very poor.”
“Is that Elder Jin Yuan the one who stopped your master from giving the competition spot to me?”
“Yes, that's him. Elder Jin Yuan is extremely selfish. His first disciple is currently the top genius in our Da Wei Dynasty's Alchemy Pavilion, so he looks down on alchemists from other places. It was he who prevented my master from giving you the spot and opposed our Alchemy Pavilion protecting Qian Xue and the others,” Xiao Ya said, her face turning pale.
Qin Chen nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing that Xiao Ya was completely ignoring him, Yi Chen's face immediately showed dissatisfaction, and he coldly laughed: “Xiao Ya, what are you whispering about? Who is that guy beside you? He can't be another so-called genius from the Five-Domains, right? Hmph, you're also from my dynasty's Alchemy Pavilion; mind your identity and image. Don't bring just anyone into our Alchemy Pavilion.”
Yi Chen glanced at Qin Chen, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt, exuding a sense of superiority from his very bones.
“Hahaha, judging by his attire, he really might have come from a place like the Five-Domains.”
“Xiao Ya has brought similar guys to our Alchemy Pavilion before, wanting us to shelter them. Such garbage, if they die, then let them die. How dare they come here, it's just bad luck.”
“Hehehe.”
These people continued to mock and ridicule, and Xiao Ya’s expression became extremely ugly.
Yet, she knew very well that her master was still unaware of the situation, her senior brother Mu Lengfeng was still under confinement, and their position in the Alchemy Pavilion was awkward. They should avoid trouble as much as possible.
“Chen Shao, don’t mind them, let’s go.”
Xiao Ya’s face was ashen as she pulled Qin Chen into the Alchemy Pavilion.
“Stop, Xiao Ya, you haven’t told us who this brat is yet!”
Yi Chen suddenly blocked Xiao Ya and Qin Chen, snorting coldly.
“Do I need your permission to bring whoever I want?” Xiao Ya glared at him coldly.
“Hehe, if you bring normal people, you naturally don't need my permission, but if you bring in some garbage from the Five-Domains that sullies our Da Wei Dynasty's Alchemy Pavilion, then that won't do.”
“You…” Xiao Ya was furious: “Yi Chen, don’t go too far.”
“Too far?” Yi Chen was taken aback, seeing Xiao Ya's strong reaction, he couldn’t help but question, “No way, Xiao Ya, could this brat really be garbage from the Five-Domains?”
