"Sigh …"
Tian Liang sighed and told Qin Yichen a few things to take note of.
"If you pass the assessment and enter Shifang Dan Province, you must not get involved in the struggles of those factions. Otherwise, you will most likely become cannon fodder that will be sent to your death."
"Back when I was in Shifang Dan Province, I had to be very careful in order to become an elder … However, in the end, I couldn't avoid it …"
Tian Liang was quite emotional when he mentioned this, but there was nothing he could do. The struggles between the factions in Shifang Dan Province were too complicated.
As long as he was involved in one of the factions, his future was very likely to be destroyed. Back then, he had finally become an elder, but after becoming an elder, the struggles for benefits became even more complicated. In the end, he, who had no faction backing him, had fallen to his current state.
If not for the governor's intervention back then, he would not have been able to survive.
Speaking of the governor of Shifang Dan Province, this position had never been chosen from this region. Otherwise, the factions in Shifang Dan Province would have lost control over the governor's position long ago.
In this region, in Shifang Dan Province, no one dared to challenge the governor's position, not even the Three Major Sects!
"Mm, I will be careful."
Qin Yichen was also very clear about this. However, although he said this, he shook his head inwardly. As long as he stepped into Shifang Dan Province, there was no way he could stay out of the various struggles for benefits.
Moreover, it seemed that things were not going as smoothly as Tian Liang thought.
"What a scandal! Even a beggar is allowed in!"
As soon as he stepped on the stairs to the second floor, a voice that sounded like a duck's throat rang out from the hall on the second floor.
When they heard this voice, many of the people below narrowed their eyes slightly, as if they had thought of something. They looked up at the second floor with mocking gazes.
In the center of the hall on the second floor, an old man about the same age as Tian Liang stood with his hands behind his back. At this moment, he was looking at Tian Liang with an undisguised sneer on his face.
Behind this person, there was a man about 20 years old. He seemed to know Tian Liang's identity, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.
"Duan Quan?"
When he saw this old man, Tian Liang couldn't help but frown, and his face became a little gloomy.
Duan Quan was also an elder of Shifang Dan Province. He had always been at odds with Tian Liang. It was not uncommon for them to fight in Dan Province.
Following Tian Liang's downfall, Duan Quan hit him while he was down. If the Mansion Master hadn't spoken up, Tian Liang would have been killed by Duan Quan even if he hadn't been killed by the people of the Dong Lin Sect.
When they heard Elder Duan Quan's voice, many alchemists looked at him with mocking gazes. It was no secret that Duan Quan and Tian Liang did not get along.
"Oh, it turns out to be Elder Tian. Sigh, I'm getting old. I'm actually treating Elder Tian as a beggar!"
Duan Huan said with an enigmatic smile. She deliberately emphasized the word 'Elder'. The sarcasm in her tone was not concealed in the slightest. "What kind of wind blew you in here?" Duan Huan asked with an enigmatic smile.
As soon as these words came out, Tian Liang's face turned even uglier.
Qin Yichen glanced at Duan Quan and the man behind him. A cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Although Tian Liang did not tell him the identity of the latter, he was very familiar with these two people in his memory.
When Qin Yichen saw the man, he almost couldn't suppress the irritation in his heart …
This man, who was about 20 years old, was called Duan Zihai. He was the most outstanding alchemist among the younger generation of the Duan Quan Family.
When Qin Yichen had entered Dan Province on Zhao Yarou's recommendation, Duan Zihai had already made a name for himself in Shifang Dan Province.
Because of Zhao Yarou, Duan Zihai had caused trouble for Qin Yichen many times. There had even been one time when Qin Yichen and Zhao Yarou had almost died at his hands.
"Duan Zihai, it's really regrettable that I let you die so easily in my past life …"
Qin Yichen sighed inwardly.
"Why are you here, Duan Quan?" Tian Liang took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his heart as he asked in a low voice.
"Why am I here? Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? "
Duan Quan sneered as he looked at Qin Yichen mockingly.
"Looks like you recommended this kid to come to Dan Province? What a coincidence … "Duan Quan sized up Qin Yichen and chuckled.
Behind him, Duan Zihai's eyes also flashed with a hint of unkind intent.
"Elders, if it's convenient, please allow the two of them to come over for the assessment."
Just as the atmosphere between the four of them became extremely strange, a light cough was heard from the hall. The person who had spoken was the instructor in charge of the assessment.
"This is bad!"
When he heard this, Tian Liang's heart skipped a beat.
If it had been a normal assessment, he would have had some confidence in Qin Yichen. However, he hadn't expected that the person Duan Quan had recommended would also be here for the assessment.
Given Duan Quan's personality, the two of them taking the assessment at the same time wouldn't be as normal as a normal assessment.
"Haha …"
When he saw the strange light in Tian Liang's eyes, Duan Quan laughed loudly and glanced at the two of them. Then, he led Duan Zihai to the assessment area.
Tian Liang furrowed his brows and braced himself to follow after him.
"If the two of you are ready, let's begin the assessment."
When the four of them arrived, the middle-aged instructor in front of them pointed at the pill furnaces and said to Qin Yichen and Duan Zihai.
"I think we should take the assessment separately."
Tian Liang furrowed his brows and said.
Obviously, he was a little worried that Duan Quan would instruct that guy to do something behind the scenes and affect Qin Yichen.
When he heard this, the middle-aged instructor hesitated, but he didn't say anything. After all, Tian Liang was still an elder of Dan Province in name. This kind of request wasn't unreasonable.
"There's no need to split up. It's a waste of time. Let's take the assessment together."
However, Duan Quan didn't intend to let them off so easily. There was an irresistible command in his words.
At Duan Quan's shout, the middle-aged tutor hesitated for a moment, then decided to side with Elder Duan. After all, one of them was an elder whose Sea of Knowledge had been damaged, and would soon become a cripple, while the other was a peak-level Human-level alchemist. Anyone would know which side to choose.
"You!"
When he saw that Duan Quan was deliberately stirring up trouble, Tian Liang's chest tightened. He was about to say something, but he was stopped by an arm.
"Elder Tian, it's a waste of time to take the assessment separately. I think we should follow Elder Duan's suggestion and take the assessment together."
Qin Yichen's lips curled into a smile as he spoke to Tian Liang.
"Haha, even a kid who hasn't grown out his hair is more sensible than you!"
