Lan'er braced herself and guarded the door. She was afraid that she would anger Xi Home Leader and disturb Schilling's Shadow.
Surprisingly, Xi Home Leader only nodded slightly before sitting down in the courtyard. He seemed to be waiting for something.
Lan'er let out a sigh of relief. She suddenly realized that the family head's attitude towards her miss had changed.
The group waited in the courtyard until there was finally some movement at the door.
Xi Mengdie had stopped pretending to be gentle at some point. Instead, she sneered sarcastically, "Yo, you're finally willing to come out. If you didn't, we would've thought you were a coward."
"Shut up. It's not your place to speak." Before Schilling's Shadow could say anything, Xi Home Leader glared fiercely at Xi Mengdie. Then, his attitude changed. He looked at Schilling's Shadow with a worried smile.
"The competition is about to start. You …"
"Let's go." Schilling's Shadow interrupted Xi Home Leader and led the way out of the courtyard. "I will personally take back my father's jade qilin."
Xi Home Leader felt a pang of guilt. He was the one who lost her father's jade qilin.
He understood the meaning behind Nuo Ying's words. The jade qilin had always belonged to Shirao, not the Xi family. It was this old man who had shamelessly labeled the jade qilin as the Xi family's treasure and privately designated it as Meng Die's dowry. Now that he thought about it … he felt even more ashamed.
It could be said that ever since he became the head of the family, Xi Home Leader had never reflected on his actions. But this time, under Schilling's Shadow's clear and cold gaze, Xi Home Leader started to reflect on his actions for the first time.
On the way to the Lun Fu Auction, he quietly reflected on what he had lost in the past few years …
The Laifu Auction House was packed with people. When Schilling's Shadow was about to compete with Doctor He, the entire Bei 'an City went into an uproar.
Schilling's Shadow used to be a good-for-nothing, but now, he was a genius fighter. This was the latest news. Everyone was shocked at first, but they slowly accepted it. Before they could digest it, the news that she was going to compete with Doctor He in concocting potions came out.
What was going on? Was the heavens about to change? Wasn't Schilling's Shadow a piece of trash? How could he suddenly not only be able to cultivate battle qi, but also be an alchemist?!
On the first night when the news spread, many people couldn't sleep.
They would rather strangle them to death than believe that Schilling's Shadow knew how to concoct medicine. That night, a lot of people decided to come and watch the competition no matter what. That was why Lai Fu's venue was so full that it couldn't fit anymore.
However, what was even more unexpected was that the Castellan also came. Seeing such a grand occasion, the Castellan discussed with the steward of Lai Fu to change the venue for safety reasons. As a result, the venue of the competition was changed to the drill ground.
A huge wave of people once again swarmed into the drill ground. Compared to the battle qi competition, this time, there were even more people.
Because alchemists were an extremely rare profession, this time, not only did people from Bei 'an City come, there were also people from Xi' an City, South 'an City, Dong' an City … It could be said that everyone who was interested in the competition had come.
In less than fifteen minutes, the drill ground was filled with people … Everyone was afraid that they wouldn't be able to get a good seat if they came late, so they had to race to get there early.
