"Miss Su, what brings you here so late at night?"
Qin Yi opened the door but didn't let Su Yuling in.
Su Yuling frowned slightly and looked at Qin Yi. She immediately lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I'm here to deliver news to Brother Qin."
As she spoke, she held a jade slip in her soft, jade-like hands and handed it to Qin Yi. "Inside is all the information about Tang Hongyun, including his cultivation method and martial skills, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of his personality."
Qin Yi didn't refuse and took the thing from Su Yuling's hand. He thanked her indifferently and was about to close the door.
"Wait."
At this time, Su Yuling stopped Qin Yi and said in a low voice, "Brother Qin, are you blaming me?"
Qin Yi frowned slightly and then said, "Miss Su has her own reasons for doing things, so Qin Mo naturally can't say anything. However, now that Qin Mo already knows Miss Su's identity as a member of the black market, it's inevitable that he'll be more vigilant in his heart. I hope Miss Su can understand. "
Su Yuling buried her head even lower. After a moment of silence, she finally raised her head and said, "If I say that when I first became friends with Brother Qin, I didn't receive any orders from the black market, will Brother Qin believe me?"
Qin Yi frowned, feeling a little surprised.
Su Yuling said, "Since Brother Qin already knows my identity as a member of the black market, I think there's no need to hide my other identity from Brother Qin. In fact, in addition to being a member of the black market, I'm also the Qingdan House's Master. "
Suddenly, Qin Yi felt as if his head was struck by lightning. His head buzzed and he couldn't recover for a long time.
He never thought that this seemingly weak girl in front of him would actually be the leader of Qingli City's number one alchemy force?
But on second thought, he felt that everything was quite reasonable.
First of all, it was Su Yuling's alchemy attainments. How could an ordinary alchemist have such profound alchemy knowledge? Even he, who was well-read and had the help of a heaven-defying creature like the Jade Rabbit, was surprised by Su Yuling's knowledge of alchemy. Moreover, in the Alchemy Exchange Conference, Su Yu's broadening of horizons truly made Qin Yi secretly admire her.
Then, there was Great Elder Meng's side. This old man, who had always been mysterious and didn't like to show his face in front of outsiders, why would he run out to save him just because he, an alchemist, was in danger? If it wasn't for Su Yuling, the Pavilion Master, why would Elder Meng take care of him like this?
The various illogical phenomena that Su Yuling had displayed previously, after she revealed her identity as the Qingdan Pavilion's Pavilion Master, everything had a reasonable explanation.
When Su Yuling saw that Qin Yi gradually came to his senses, she immediately continued, "Actually, I've already noticed you since Deacon Zhu sent the news about you. After that, I sent the Third Elder and the others to test you. Originally, I only wanted to inspect Brother Qin's Alchemy Dao attainments. Furthermore, I wanted to make you a Qingdan Pavilion elder at that time to serve the Qingdan Pavilion. "
Qin Yi's emotions finally calmed down. He chuckled and said, "But you still made me a grade one alchemist later."
Su Yuling nodded slightly and said, "That's right! Because Deacon Jin's challenge was what I didn't expect. And it's also precisely because I saw Brother Qin's breathtaking spirit medicine planting skills that I changed my mind. Because I felt that Brother Qin's Alchemy Dao foundation could definitely help me resolve many of the perplexities on Alchemy Dao. But I didn't know if approaching you with my Pavilion Master's identity would make Brother Qin hold back against me or not. Hence, I thought of letting the two of us have an equal status to interact! "
Qin Yi nodded his head. On this point, he still believed in Su Yuling. After all, in the beginning, he indeed did not feel that Su Yuling had any other objective apart from exchanging Alchemy Dao with him.
"Later on, I received the black market's notice, saying that they wanted me to lure you into the black market. In the beginning, I didn't know how to let you go there without detecting abnormalities. Later on, I just happened to run into Second Elder deliberately making things difficult for you, making you go search for the Black Cloud Luan's inner core. That's how I found this opportunity. "
Qin Yi frowned and asked, "There's one point that I don't really understand. Since you're already the Qingdan Pavilion's Pavilion Master, why did you still want to join the black market?"
Talking up to here, Su Yuling's gaze became somewhat dim. "Because I want to make the Qingdan Pavilion even stronger!"
"Want to make the Qingdan Pavilion stronger, why join the black market?"
Su Yuling said, "The Qingdan Pavilion was originally founded by my master single-handedly. After he passed away, he handed the Qingdan Pavilion to me. But my Qingdan Pavilion's situation, you're also very clear. We're completely not the other Alchemy Dao factions' match. In order to fulfill Master's dying wish of strengthening the Qingdan Pavilion, I thought of increasing my Alchemy Dao strength. And apart from countless intelligence reports, the black market even has countless Alchemy Dao records that can satisfy my needs! Hence, I joined the black market behind everyone's backs. "
Qin Yi looked deeply at the young girl in front of him. Not knowing why, he suddenly actually felt some sympathy for her. At this kind of age, she originally should be living a carefree life, but she had no choice but to bear a burden that she could not bear, forcing herself to walk a path that she was unwilling to walk.
"However, Brother Qin, you don't need to be so vigilant toward the black market either!"
At this time, Su Yuling suddenly lifted her head, flashed a smile at Qin Yi, and said, "It's merely been a year's time since I joined the black market. During this period, apart from some missions to provide intelligence, I practically didn't do anything else. And I also obtained all the Alchemy Dao records that I wanted from it, making my Alchemy Dao strength advance by leaps and bounds! "
Qin Yi retracted his gaze. After musing for a moment, he said, "Miss Su, sorry. I misunderstood you previously. It's my fault! Joining the black market was my own choice. I won't blame you. "
Hearing this, Su Yuling's face suddenly revealed a pleasantly surprised smile. "Really? You're telling the truth? "
Qin Yi nodded slightly, then said, "The burden of strengthening the Qingdan Pavilion is too heavy. Perhaps I can share some of it for you. Although I might leave Qingli City very soon, no matter where I go, I'll always be a part of the Qingdan Pavilion! "
Su Yuling's clear eyes stared fixedly at Qin Yi. Her eyes gradually became wet with tears. "Brother Qin … Thank you!"
Qin Yi chuckled and said, "You don't need to thank me either. I'm also considered a higher-up of the Qingdan Pavilion. Serving the Qingdan Pavilion is also considered my duty!"
