Martial Master

Hearing Qin Chen's inquiry, Gu Xun had a troubled expression.

At this moment, he could no longer care about where Qin Chen got the information from the Supervisory Department; instead, he was worried that Qin Chen would really file a complaint with the Supervisory Department.

Once the complaint was submitted, if the Supervisory Department sent someone down to verify it, things would become very troublesome.

After all, the Alchemy Pavilion had to deal with various major forces locally, and it was inevitable that there would be some violations.

Moreover, he was well aware of the ins and outs of this matter. It was indeed Yi Chen who insulted others first. If the Supervisory Department verified this, the Pavilion Master might not face any issues, but he, as the attending Pavilion Manager, would likely be dismissed in an instant.

In the eyes of those people from the Supervisory Department, he, as a small Pavilion Manager, probably didn't even count as an ant; if they crushed him, it wouldn't matter at all.

To cause such consequences over a trivial matter, just thinking about it made Gu Xun feel it was not worth it.

"Hehe, sir, you jest. Such a trivial matter does not need to escalate to the Supervisory Department. You need not worry; if I verify it and find that the matter is as you say, I will certainly seek justice for you and won't wrong an innocent person, nor will I mistake a guilty one." After his expression changed several times, Gu Xun finally spoke with a smile.

Upon hearing this, nearly everyone present was stunned, looking at Gu Xun in shock.

And Xiao Ya's eyes were nearly popping out.

Gu Xun's words could not be clearer; he clearly did not want to hold Qin Chen accountable anymore.

This left everyone dumbfounded, their heads spinning.

"Gu Xun, how could you..." Yi Chen couldn't help but speak anxiously.

"Shut your mouth, didn't you hear?" Gu Xun glared coldly at Yi Chen, then waved to the surrounding crowd, saying, "Disperse, disperse, there’s nothing to see here."

Although the captain of the guard, Li Feng, did not understand the situation, since Gu Xun had spoken, he immediately drove away the onlookers.

"Alright, then I'll wait for Gu Xun to seek justice for me." Qin Chen said lightly. He did not expect Gu Xun to teach Yi Chen a lesson; the other party was merely being polite.

"Xiao Ya, let's go."

Turning to say that to Xiao Ya, Qin Chen stepped towards the interior of the Alchemy Pavilion.

"Yi Chen, don’t cause any trouble for me." Gu Xun glanced at Yi Chen, who was indignant and unwilling to accept his fate, and warned him before turning around and leaving.

He was not going to get involved in this matter.

"This damn kid, how infuriating! I don't know what happened to Gu Xun; has he taken the wrong medicine, letting this kid go?" Yi Chen was furious in his heart, feeling a burning sensation on his face, filled with resentment.

"Yi Chen, what should we do now?"

The several young men beside Yi Chen gathered around, all wearing ugly expressions.

"Hmph, that kid hit someone and wants to escape unscathed; it won't be so easy! Gu Xun is afraid of trouble and doesn’t want to manage it. We’ll go find our Master; I don’t believe a disciple from the Five Nations, even if he is an alchemist, can run rampant in our Alchemy Pavilion."

Yi Chen said resentfully.

"Okay, let’s find our Master."

"Let’s go; I don’t believe our Master won’t stand up for us."

These young men all perked up, excited as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline, and rushed off to find their respective masters.

"Our Master has always wanted to take down Elder Xu Bo. Now that Xiao Ya has brought that alchemist from the Five Nations, it’s definitely to seek protection from Elder Xu Bo. Our Master will surely be very interested in this news; it might be an opportunity to completely bring down Elder Xu Bo."

Yi Chen's heart began to stir with excitement.

"Our Master should be at the pharmacy right now. I’ll inform him immediately to have him stand up for me; perhaps the Senior Brother will also be very interested in that kid."
