If he hadn't known beforehand that this was the Alchemy Exchange, Qin Yi would have suspected that he had walked into the wrong venue and ended up at the gathering place of the old men.
Just as Qin Yi was observing them, the old men also sensed Qin Yi's gaze and immediately looked in Qin Yi's direction.
A moment later, one of the old men said with slight dissatisfaction, "What are you standing here for? Hurry up and get to work! "
After speaking, he retracted his gaze and said disdainfully, "Youngsters these days really don't know the rules."
After saying this, he started chatting happily with the others again.
Hearing this, Qin Yi could only smile helplessly.
Without a doubt, the other party treated him as an odd-job worker here.
However, he didn't want to argue, so he retracted his gaze and turned to leave.
This inn was indeed the largest inn in the entire Willow Brushing City. The interior was indeed rather spacious. Even if there were tens of thousands of people inside at the same time, it wouldn't feel crowded at all.
The first and second floors of the inn were filled with tables. Clearly, this was a place for cultivators to eat and drink. The third floor was an empty room. Judging from the traces on the ground, there used to be a huge table and many stools. It was obviously a meeting room where important matters were discussed. However, the large table here had already been moved away and replaced with small tables.
It could be seen that this place had been specially set up for the Alchemy Exchange.
As for the third floor and above, there were rooms for passing cultivators to rest and cultivate.
Because of the Alchemy Exchange, almost all the rooms in the inn had been cleared out. Only a small portion of people stayed inside.
Without a doubt, these people were the same as the people below. They were all invited to participate in the Alchemy Exchange!
After walking one round around the inn, Qin Yi found a secluded place to wait.
He didn't know these people anyway, so he had no desire to talk to them. In order to avoid the awkward situation from happening again, he would try not to see anyone if he could avoid meeting them.
After sitting down, Qin Yi also began to meditate and cultivate. Although he was here to participate in the Alchemy Conference, this didn't mean that he had to be thinking about alchemy at a time like this. On the contrary, at times like this, he wanted to make the best use of his time to improve his strength.
Unfortunately, not long after, he was awakened by the movement downstairs.
"You've gone too far!"
It was this familiar voice that finally made Qin Yi unable to sit still. He got up and walked out. Looking down from upstairs, he saw a familiar and graceful figure appear in the hall on the ground floor.
At this moment, Su Yuling's face was completely red, her chest was heaving up and down violently, and her delicate fists were clenched tightly. It was obvious that she was very agitated.
"Little girl, if you turn around and leave now, we can forgive you for trespassing!"
The one who spoke was the old man who had mistaken Qin Yi for an errand boy. His face was covered in ridicule while he crossed his arms before his chest, and he looked down at Su Yuling from above as he said, "Otherwise, I won't hold back!"
"You … you've gone too far!"
Su Yuling's face was flushed red to the ears, and she said loudly, "I have an invitation letter! I'm here to take part in the Alchemy Conference! "
While talking, she took out a golden card from her storage ring and let everyone take a look.
"Oh?"
That old man's brows raised up and he said mockingly, "How would this old man know whether this invitation letter is real or not? Even if it's real, it might not be yours either! What if you picked it up on the road and let you muddle your way in? Come! Give the invitation letter to this old man, and this old man can let you go out with dignity! "
"You … You guys …"
Su Yuling had a wronged look, tears welling up in her eyes.
But now, she could not even say a word. Clearly, the other party saying things like this already planned on starting to act shamelessly and not letting Su Yuling take part in the Alchemy Conference!
From the other party's expression, Qin Yi could also tell that this old man clearly knew Su Yuling's identity. Hence, that was why he was deliberately making things difficult for her here!
"Little girl, could it be that you still haven't given up? Things that were picked up would always be picked up! Not yours, it definitely isn't yours! "
The smile on the old man's face became even more pleased with himself. The few old men at the side also looked at Su Yuling with mocking expressions, seemingly very fond of seeing the other party's embarrassed appearance.
Right at this time, a nonchalant voice suddenly came from the stairs at the side, "Looks like this card is so easy to pick up. The Alchemy Conference this time is merely a boring gathering. It doesn't matter if you don't participate."
This sentence instantly attracted the gazes of everyone present.
After seeing the person who spoke, the embarrassment on Su Yuling's face instantly vanished without a trace, revealing a hint of a relaxed smile.
The old man frowned tightly and looked at Qin Yi. His face first revealed a trace of surprise, and he immediately said with a cold smile, "Brat, I saw that you were slacking off just now. This old man didn't punish you, which is already considered very merciful to you. Now that you've come to contradict this old man, could it be that you have a death wish? "
Qin Yi chuckled and took out a golden card from his storage ring. He waved it in front of everyone and immediately said with a mocking tone, "I'm really sorry, Qin Mo also picked up an invitation and snuck in to watch the show."
The old man's frown deepened and he immediately muttered in a low voice, "What's going on with the Alchemy Conference this time? Why can any Tom, Dick, or Harry sneak in? "
Immediately after, he lifted his head again and said to Qin Yi, "Since you've already admitted that you picked up the invitation, why don't you hurry up and hand it over and get out of here?"
Qin Yi smiled unhurriedly and shook his head, saying, "Old man, don't panic. If Qin Mo wants to go out, you should go out too. Why don't you and I hand over the invitation together and go out for a drink? "
"You!"
The old man's beard stood on end from anger. He glared at him and yelled angrily, "Brat, do you know who you're talking to? My invitation was personally handed to me by someone else. Why should I go out with a little b * stard like you who's fishing in troubled waters? "
Hearing the old man scolding him, Qin Yi did not get angry. Instead, he continued to smile and said, "You said that your invitation was handed to you by someone else. Do you have any proof?"
The old man pointed at the person beside him and said, "I have someone who can testify!"
"Oh?"
