The Irascible Yang Yan
Almost as soon as Chu Xingyun finished speaking, the thick door of the courtyard was smashed into pieces by a scorching flame. Flames filled the sky and an old man appeared. His two long white eyebrows were raised and his whole body was emitting anger.
"You little doll, I came here personally, but not only did you not welcome me, you even asked me to leave. You're quite bold, aren't you?!" The moment the old man spoke, his voice was like the flames on his body, raging and burning.
Yan Du and Gu Qing Shan heard the commotion and rushed over. When they saw the flames in the courtyard, their eyes widened. When they saw the person who released the flames, their eyes widened even more and they immediately bowed.
"Greetings Grandmaster Yang!" Gu Qing Shan said respectfully, wishing he could stick his head to the ground.
The irascible old man in front of them was the number one alchemist in the Liuyun Dynasty, Qin Yuyan's master, Yang Yan.
Not only did this person have profound alchemy skills, his own cultivation was also very strong. He had already stepped into the Earth Spirit realm and was the honorary elder of the Lingxiao Martial House. His position was not below that of the Dean.
Other than his astonishing strength and status, Yang Yan was also famous for his eccentric temper. He would fly into a rage at the slightest disagreement, and no one would be able to stop him. As time passed, very few people dared to come into contact with him.
Yang Yan strode towards Chu Xingyun. His eyebrows were furrowed and his anger was boiling. He was obviously angered by Chu Xingyun's words.
"Master, please calm down. Chu Xingyun was just joking. How could he reject an alchemist like you?" Qin Yuyan hurriedly stopped Yang Yan.
"Is that so?" Yang Yan slightly restrained his anger. Qin Yuyan gave him a way out, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Qin Yuyan gave Chu Xingyun a look, wanting Chu Xingyun to say something good. Who knew, Chu Xingyun shrugged and curled his lips, "I wasn't joking. It's already late and I really need to rest. Anyway, this meeting won't affect the Martial House selection. As long as I have enough strength, even if this meeting didn't happen, the Lingxiao Martial House will still accept me."
Thump!
Qin Yuyan's heart twitched. Chu Xingyun was really a blockhead. Just now, he had said a few good words. According to Yang Yan's temperament, he would forgive him and wouldn't make a fuss about it.
But now, Chu Xingyun's words …
"Little kid, this is the first time I, Yang Yan, have met someone like you in my dozens of years of life. Looks like you are very confident in your own strength and feel that it is very possible for me to take a fancy to you?" Yang Yan did not get angry. Instead, he revealed an amused expression.
"Not very likely, but definitely."
Chu Xingyun straightened his back and calmly said: "The Martial House Selection is based on strength and talent. If you knew about my talent in alchemy, I'm afraid that you would have directly asked me to join the Soaring Heaven Martial House. Wouldn't that be unfair?"
Yang Yan's face twitched. He felt an urge to go berserk in the depths of his heart.
As an Alchemy Grandmaster of the Liuyun Dynasty, he had seen at least eight hundred if not a thousand geniuses. He also understood the temperament of these geniuses. They were all arrogant and eccentric.
But what Chu Xingyun showed was confidence. It was so strong that it was unimaginable. In Yang Yan's eyes, it was already a taste of arrogance.
Chu Xingyun's words just now were basically saying that he could easily join the Soaring Heaven Martial House by relying on his own talent in alchemy. Even if he didn't rely on this, the Soaring Heaven Martial House would still accept him based on his own strength and talent.
So arrogant. This kind of arrogance had already exceeded Yang Yan's imagination.
For a moment, he even suspected that the Soaring Heaven Martial House he was in was still the number one Martial House in the Liuyun Dynasty. Why did it feel so unbearable?
"Chu Xingyun, can't you talk less?" Qin Yuyan glared at Chu Xingyun and turned her head. Just as she was about to smooth things over, she heard Yang Yan say in a deep voice, "You are Chu Xingyun, right?"
"Yes." Chu Xingyun nodded.
"I'll remember your name. I'll remember it very clearly. During this Martial House selection, I'll sharpen my old eyes and seriously observe your talent and strength. I'd like to see just how strong you are to have the confidence to say such words." Yang Yan was also full of curiosity towards Chu Xingyun. With a wave of his hand, he strode away and disappeared into the night.
"What's the point of doing this? To think that I spent so much effort to find Master from the Imperial City! " Qin Yuyan sighed. She was very clear about Yang Yan's temper. Once he was angry, even nine bulls wouldn't be able to pull him back.
"I think it's pretty good. At least the two of us can be considered acquaintances." Chu Xingyun knew that Qin Yuyan had good intentions and didn't blame her. Instead, he made fun of her.
However, Qin Yuyan didn't laugh. She weakly said, "In these two days, you should work hard and see if you can step into the Spirit Gathering Realm. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Martial House Selection this time will be filled with experts. With your current cultivation, it will most likely be difficult."
"I really don't understand why you insist on being fair. The Dao of Alchemy is also a kind of talent. Clearly, you just need to ask a few more questions and perhaps you can be accepted as a disciple by Master today and directly enter the Soaring Heaven Martial House." Qin Yuyan couldn't help but say.
Chu Xingyun smiled but didn't reply.
To him, the Martial House selection not only allowed him to enter the Imperial City, but it also represented the one year agreement between him and Shui Qianyue. Naturally, he wouldn't ignore this agreement just because it was convenient for him to enter the Imperial City.
This was Chu Xingyun's way of doing things.
"That's right." Chu Xingyun stopped Qin Yuyan and asked, "Since you are Yang Yan's disciple, then you should be from the Imperial City. Your surname is Qin. Who is Qin Tianyu to you?"
"Why are you asking this?" Qin Yuyan raised her eyebrows. She felt that it was a little strange.
"Qin Tianyu is the head of the Qin Clan in the Imperial City. The Qin Clan is also one of the giants of the Liuyun Dynasty. They have an astonishing amount of wealth. Is it strange that I know?" Chu Xingyun asked.
Qin Yuyan looked deeply at Chu Xingyun and replied, "He is my father."
"Father?" Chu Xingyun was shocked. Although he already knew that Qin Yuyan's identity was extraordinary, he didn't expect her to be the pearl of the Qin Clan.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Xingyun walked in front of Qin Yuyan and said in a low voice, "Recently, the Imperial City is in turmoil. The Qin Clan will also be involved in some disturbances. You'd better investigate your second uncle, Qin Tianfeng."
Qin Yuyan's delicate body trembled slightly. She looked at Chu Xingyun with an astonished gaze.
Chu Xingyun said again, "Whether you believe it or not, I'm just giving you a casual reminder. Since you helped me before."
