Tranquil Sun City.
In just a few short days, everyone in the city sensed that something was amiss.
On the surface, Tranquil Sun City seemed peaceful, but a few small families and sharp-eyed people could vaguely sense that there were hidden waves beneath the calm.
The shops belonging to the Zhao family that had been closed for several days had resumed normal operations. Although business wasn't as good as before, they still made some profits.
However, their mortal enemy, the Xiang family, did not take any action. No one believed that the Xiang family had given up on suppressing the Xiang family. This could only mean that the Xiang family was preparing for something even bigger.
Once the Xiang family made a move, it would cause a huge uproar. Tranquil Sun City's tranquility would vanish when the time came.
Tranquil Sun City's Zhao family.
Zhao Yarou's return was a joyous occasion. Even after several days, the atmosphere did not diminish.
In Tranquil Sun City and the surrounding cities, Zhao Yarou could be considered the number one alchemist of the younger generation. Her entry into Shifang Dan Province was set in stone.
As long as Zhao Yarou entered Shifang Dan Province, they would be able to suppress the Xiang family. If Zhao Yarou was valued, they could even completely crush the Xiang family.
At the thought of this, the many elders of the Zhao Family were extremely excited.
However, there were a few more scheming people who began to suspect Qin Yichen.
This young man was barely eighteen years old, yet he had saved Zhao Yarou. This was equivalent to the Zhao family owing him a huge favour.
"Patriarch, could that kid be a pawn the Xiang family planted on purpose?"
In the main hall of the Zhao Clan, the sixth elder frowned and suspiciously asked Zhao Wengting, the head of the Zhao Clan, who was sitting at the head of the table.
"Old Six, don't say that. Young Brother Qin saved Zhao Yarou, so we should remember his kindness." Zhao Wengting frowned and reprimanded him.
A few days ago, Zhao Yarou had already said that this was the truth, but the sixth elder had been skeptical. Although he was doing this for the sake of his family, if word of this got out, they would be mocked for being ungrateful.
"Hmph, such a young kid. If the Xiang family didn't do this on purpose, how could he have brought that Yarou girl back?" The sixth elder snorted softly, dissatisfied.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange light flashed through the eyes of the elders in the main hall.
That's right, the Zhao family had sent so many experts, but they hadn't even caught Zhao Yarou's shadow. If the Xiang family didn't do this on purpose, how could a mere teenager break through their defenses and return safely?
"Old Six, don't bring this up again!"
Zhao Wengting frowned when he saw the Elders' expressions change. He slammed the table and scolded.
Seeing that the Patriarch was angry, the Sixth Elder finally shut his mouth. However, his words had already stirred up the seeds of suspicion in the hearts of the other Elders ….
Meanwhile, outside the main hall, Qin Yichen, who had been invited to the main hall by Zhao Yarou, heard everything.
Qin Yichen's expression darkened when he heard this.
"Mr Qin …"
Zhao Yarou's expression changed when she heard this. She hadn't expected the sixth elder to say something like this.
"Since the Zhao family doesn't welcome me, I'll leave first."
Qin Yichen's face was gloomy. He said in a low voice, then turned and walked outside.
Zhao Yarou had already returned to the Zhao family. If nothing unexpected happened, she would enter Shifang Dan Province. The Zhao family's future path would be smooth. He didn't need to worry about this anymore.
"Mr Qin, wait!"
For some reason, Zhao Yarou felt sad when she saw Qin Yichen get angry. However, she knew that someone as outstanding as Qin Yichen had his own pride.
Not only did he not mind going through the trouble of saving her, he was also slandered by his own family's elders. Anyone else would not be able to tolerate this.
Zhao Yarou could only follow closely behind Qin Yichen. She wanted to explain herself several times but nothing came out.
"Mr Qin? Yarou is outside? "
In the main hall, Zhao Wengting and the others also heard the commotion outside.
"Oh no!"
Zhao Wengting's expression changed. He glared fiercely at the sixth elder, then rushed out of the main hall and chased after Qin Yichen.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side of Ningyang City, in the main hall of the Xiang family, more than ten figures were seated.
These people were all elders of the Xiang family. They were usually of noble status and no one dared to disrespect them.
However, right now, their expressions were ugly. No one spoke and the atmosphere in the main hall was oppressive.
"A bunch of trash. It's been a few days and you still can't find out who saved Zhao Yarou!"
In this oppressive atmosphere, an angry shout suddenly rang out, and a middle-aged man angrily walked in from outside.
This middle-aged man was the head of the Xiang family … Xiang Renhan!
Following his entrance, the originally oppressive atmosphere in the hall became even more oppressive, making it difficult for people to even breathe.
Xiang Renhan's gaze swept over the elders. Under his furious glare, no one dared to meet his eyes.
After a while, the first elder of the Xiang family coughed dryly and asked, "Master, I heard that Shifang Dan Province has already sent people to pick up Zhao Yarou. What do we do now? We can't just sit around and wait for that girl to enter Shifang Dan Province! "
"Shifang Dan Province …" Xiang Renhan snorted.
Xiang Ren scoffed coldly. "By the time they get here, Zhao Yarou will already be dead!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Was Xiang Renhan planning to kill her?
However, the current strength of the Zhao Clan was even slightly stronger than their Xiang Clan. If they were to use force, then the result would definitely be a lose-lose situation!
"Do you have a good idea, Master?"
Asked the first elder with a frown.
He didn't think Xiang Renhan would make this decision out of anger. Otherwise, the Xiang family wouldn't still be standing in Tranquil Sun City.
The elders also looked at Xiang Renhan. Under more than ten gazes, Xiang Renhan slowly spat out a few words, "Great Master Clear Spring!"
"Is Great Master Clear Spring willing to help?"
Hearing this, everyone in the main hall sucked in a breath of cold air. Immediately, great joy burst forth from their eyes.
During this period of time, the Xiang family had crushed the Zhao family in the pill market because of Great Master Clear Spring from the North Nether Sect!
He was a genuine human level alchemist!
