In front of everyone's eyes, the once high and mighty Zhuo Qingfeng, who was like a mythical dragon in the Alchemy Pavilion, suddenly bowed respectfully to Qin Chen, as if a disciple was greeting their master, his attitude sincere.
This scene instantly stunned everyone.
What? Greeting the master?
The crowd's eyes bulged out, momentarily all dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost, desperately rubbing their ears.
They all thought they had misheard.
Master? Zhuo Qingfeng was addressing this young man?
Everyone felt a dizzying sensation in their minds, thinking their brains weren't functioning properly.
Who is Zhuo Qingfeng? The Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion of the Dawei Dynasty, a half-step Martial King, and a peak Sixth Rank Alchemist, actually referring to a young man from the Five Nations, who was under twenty, as Master! This must be a dream, right?
Someone pinched their thigh hard, and immediately grimaced in pain. It hurt, this is definitely not a dream.
But how could this be?
Pavilion Master, what are you doing?
Elder Jinyuan was also dumbfounded, his smug expression frozen, nearly going crazy.
Elder Xu Bo and others were also dizzy, their eyes nearly falling out.
You are the Pavilion Master of this Alchemy Pavilion?
Qin Chen raised his head to look at Zhuo Qingfeng and said indifferently.
That’s right, it’s the junior.
Zhuo Qingfeng respectfully replied, speaking cautiously.
At this moment, he too felt a deep sense of collapse.
If he had known this young man had a way to resolve his own issues, he would have let him do anything, even demolish the Alchemy Pavilion, without a second thought.
Now, he had only himself to blame for his loose tongue, insisting that Elder Jinyuan capture the other party. Now that the other party was detained here, filled with resentment, he wasn’t sure if they would even provide answers.
He was feeling as if he was splitting his own heart in two.
What are you all dawdling about? Don't you dare release the master? Are you looking for death?!
Seeing the few guards behind Qin Chen gaping with wide eyes, Zhuo Qingfeng was so furious he was shaking all over, wishing he could slap these people to death.
These fools, are they idiots? Can't they see that I’m respectfully addressing the other party as Master? Are they here to die?
Yes, yes, yes!
Led by Li Feng, the few guards were already scared silly. Upon hearing Zhuo Qingfeng's command, they hurriedly rushed to untie Qin Chen, while Zhuo Qingfeng himself hurried forward to help Qin Chen up.
Wait a moment.
Qin Chen's gaze turned cold as he looked at Zhuo Qingfeng and said: Since you are the Pavilion Master, I would like to ask you, what crime have I committed that you sent someone to apprehend me? I hope you can provide me with an explanation.
No, no! It’s a misunderstanding; it’s all a misunderstanding! Master, please stand up first!
Zhuo Qingfeng hurriedly smiled, but in his heart, he was filled with hatred towards Jinyuan.
Although he had ordered someone to apprehend the other party, he never said to detain him here, right?
Misunderstanding? Qin Chen coldly said: I don’t see this as a misunderstanding; Elder Jinyuan said that this order was given by you, Pavilion Master. Moreover, Elder Jinyuan's disciple previously insulted me for no reason in the Alchemy Pavilion, and after I taught him a lesson, he directly called his master, Elder Jinyuan, to come and capture me.
He even assaulted me! Is that also a misunderstanding?
What? Someone dared to assault the Master?
Zhuo Qingfeng’s expression changed upon seeing the large footprint on Qin Chen’s chest.
Jinyuan, what in the world is going on?
Stand up! Zhuo Qingfeng shouted angrily at Elder Jinyuan.
No wonder the Master is so furious. Based on Qin Chen's earlier performance in the dilemma stone wall, it was evident that this young man must have a terrifying alchemist backing him, one who might even surpass his own master. Such a genius coming to challenge the dilemma stone wall might not be after the position of Pavilion Master, but simply to test his alchemy skills.
