There were many people heading towards Hai City. Wei Lingxiao only noticed Zhou Xinlian when he was about to reach Hai City. He entered Zhou Xinlian's carriage with a sullen face and questioned, "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to hide in the courtyard? "
Tears immediately welled up in Zhou Xinlian's eyes. She looked at him as if she wanted to cry, but she didn't. She said softly, "Ling Xiao, I didn't go there to cause trouble for you. I'm also a Foundation Building cultivator, not an ordinary woman. Even if something like that happened, I still had to continue cultivating.
Although Hai City is holding a refining competition this time, there's still a refining competition after the refining competition. It's just that there aren't any good alchemists, so no one pays attention to this competition. You know that my talent in refining pills is very high. I want to take this opportunity to return to the public.
A Foundation Building alchemist, I think they'll be more accepting. "
She was the first woman Wei Lingxiao had ever liked. At this moment, seeing her helpless and strong appearance, and hearing her softly voice her plans, Wei Lingxiao's heart softened. He sighed and said with some annoyance, "I know you're anxious, but if we appear in Hai City at the same time, that matter will definitely be brought up again, and even more people will laugh at us. Lian 'er, why don't you wait until I go to the Luo Continent this year to participate in next year's refining competition? This way, there will be fewer people criticizing us. "
If that's the case, wouldn't Zhou Xinlian be the only one to bear these criticisms after he left?
Zhou Xinlian held his hand. Her face was full of reluctance. Her tears finally fell. "Lingxiao, are you going to abandon me? We clearly love each other. It's just that we were harmed by Chu Xiang. Why do you want me to bear all of this? I already have no family. If I lose you too, what should I do? I'm obviously not worse than others. I can also go to the Luo Continent with you to find better opportunities. Do we have to separate here? I don't understand. "
Wei Lingxiao hugged her and comforted her softly. His heart was somewhat moved.
Zhou Xinlian said again, "Lingxiao, have you thought about it? That hermit family is powerful, but they don't show up. Obviously, they're indifferent to fame and fortune. It's very strange. If you have a relationship with them, what if they don't allow you to go to the Luo Continent? What if they also have these strange restrictions on you? Otherwise, why hadn't there been any news of a marriage alliance with the Hermit Clan? Who knows, in order to hide from the world, they might even hide their marriage from the outside world. "
He was still young, so the plans that Patriarch Wei had made for him did not move him much. However, Zhou Xinlian's speculation made him vigilant. Even the Wei Clan Head did not find out anything about the Lin Clan, which meant that other than the Hermit Clan, none of the people who were related to them by marriage were famous. It was indeed possible that they were restricted by some clan rules.
He would be going to the Luo Continent in a few months. What if he was delayed and missed this opportunity?
Zhou Xinlian had been with him for a long time, so she understood him the best. She immediately raised her head and looked at him. "Ling Xiao, you're gifted. You're already a half-step Core Formation cultivator at the age of twenty. You should've been famous, but now you're being criticized. Although we are in love with each other and have let Chu Xiang down, if you and Chu Xiang didn't have a marriage agreement, how could this have happened?
As far as I'm concerned, you're the strongest, and there's utterly no need for you to form a marriage alliance with anyone. You're able to walk to the peak by yourself and look down upon everyone. You ought to search for fortuitous encounters and concentrate on cultivating. Why allow these annoying matters to spoil your reputation? "
Zhou Xinlian was able to make Wei Lingxiao break the marriage agreement because she could understand Wei Lingxiao's mind very well. Every word and sentence could reach his heart.
Although Wei Lingxiao had no objection to the Wei Clan Head's arrangement, he had closed his door and refused to receive guests during this period of time. It wasn't like he was the one who wanted to get engaged. How could this be blamed on him? If his family hadn't forced him to marry into the Chu family, he could have openly asked for Zhou Xinlian's hand in marriage. Even if someone recorded something, it would just be a romantic affair. Why would it ruin his reputation?
He was clearly talented and had worked hard to cultivate. He had always been the most popular young master and was about to enter the Aurous Core stage at the age of 20. But now, everyone would mention the Chu Clan and Zhou Xinlian when they talked about him, but ignored his talent and cultivation. This made him feel even worse than talking about him. It was as if all his efforts were fake and not worthy of respect.
Although Wei Lingxiao didn't promise Zhou Xinlian anything, he already had his own thoughts. He wasn't a puppet of the clan, so why couldn't he do as he pleased? If he was even less free than his brothers, then what was the point of him working hard to cultivate?
Wei Lingxiao hadn't returned after entering Zhou Xinlian's carriage for so long. Wei Lingxiao shook her head. She and her cousins all felt that Wei Lingxiao had been bewitched by the vixen and was still entangled with that woman. There were so many women in the world. How could he fall for Zhou Xinlian?
They reached an agreement almost without much discussion. They had to keep an eye on Wei Lingxiao and not make a fool of himself in Hai Cheng and affect the Wei Clan's reputation again. Wei Lingxiao wasn't the only descendant of the Wei Clan. If the Wei Clan was affected, they would also be affected.
The Wei Clan's group entered Hai Cheng in a grandiose manner. As soon as they entered the city, Chu Xiang knew about it. She asked He Yunfei, "Has your father forgiven your aunt? Recently, many people with status have come to Hai Cheng. Did your father invite your aunt's family when he entertained them? "
He Yunfei shook his head. "No, my aunt's heart is too big. Moreover, her thoughts are actually waiting for me to die and occupy my position. Of course, my father is unhappy. In the past, it wasn't too big of a deal. This time, he warned my aunt, but she still came to make trouble. Clearly, she's certain that I won't live for many years and has nothing to fear. My father doesn't plan to pay attention to them. "
Jin Zhen walked into the pavilion and sat beside Chu Xiang. He fanned her and asked, "Why are you asking about them? Are you so angry that you want to teach them a lesson again? Yunfei can't do it. I'll go. "
Chu Xiang laughed and said, "Are you a thug? You'll go? No, I'm just casually asking. I'm happy that they aren't valued. "
She had cured He Yunfei and was treated as an honored guest by the He Clan. Naturally, the Zhou Clan who offended her would not be able to get away with it. Zhou Yufeng's dream of succeeding the position of City Lord was also shattered. So what if Zhou Xinlian and the Zhou Clan recognized each other as relatives? It only proved that the Zhou Clan had problems with their character. Zhou Yufeng and Zhou Xinlian, this pair of cousins, were so unbearable.
At this time, Luo Yu ran over excitedly and showed a porcelain bottle to Chu Xiang. "Miss, I refined a high-grade Restorative Panacea!"
This was the first time Luo Yu had refined a high-grade Restorative Panacea on her own. Moreover, she had made such great progress in such a short time.
Chu Xiang inspected it and nodded with satisfaction. She smiled and said, "You can be taught. From today onwards, you will refine Foundation-Building Pills. If you refine a good grade one, you can try to build your foundation. "
Foundation-Building Pills were difficult to refine, at least with Luo Yu's current level, it was very difficult. However, if she could use her own Foundation-Building Pills to build her foundation, it would be a very happy thing. She immediately agreed. Then she asked, "Miss, I want to participate in the Alchemy Competition. Do you think it's okay?"
Chu Xiang was stunned. "What Alchemy Competition?"
They didn't think that she didn't know. Jin Zhen immediately explained to her. Every year, the Alchemy Competition and the Weapon Refining Competition were held together. However, there were many Weapon Refiners in the South Shore Continent, but very few Alchemists. This competition had never received much attention and not many people were interested in it. In any case, no matter who won or lost, most of the pills refined would be low grade. Only a few middle grade pills could be bought from the shops. There wasn't much difference.
After listening to them, Chu Xiang suddenly remembered that Zhou Xinlian knew how to refine Restorative Panacea. Because Zhou Xinlian's parents had taught her, she was quite good at it. At the very least, she had refined several furnaces of middle grade Restorative Panacea. Then, did Zhou Xinlian come to Sea City to participate in the Alchemy Competition?
Although Restorative Panacea wasn't paid much attention to, if Zhou Xinlian could refine middle grade Restorative Panacea three times in a row, and she was such a young Foundation Building cultivator, she might be able to clear her name. Cultivators admired the strong. If they were strong to a certain extent, then their past mistakes would be infinitely weakened.
Chu Xiang immediately stood up and called Luo Yu over. "Come and learn from me. Since you want to participate in the competition, you can't lose face. You must win first place."
Luo Yu was stunned. Her feet automatically followed her, but she said helplessly, "Miss, I … Some Restorative Panacea Masters have been refining for decades. I'm still inexperienced …"
Chu Xiang waved her hand nonchalantly. "So what if you're inexperienced? You have me to guide you. They don't have me. "
Her words were too arrogant. It was as if she could crush everyone with her guidance. However, they were all amused by her words. After all, Chu Xiang was only an eighteen -year-old girl. There were still traces of immaturity on her face. Not only did her attitude not seem arrogant, but it also seemed especially cute.
Moreover, with Chu Xiang's attainments in pill-refining, what if she was telling the truth?
After that, Luo Yu began her Rain Purgatory Style training. It was only then that they realized that the level of pity they had in the secret room was just child's play. However, Luo Yu didn't complain. What she learned were all true skills. The more tired she was, the more grateful she was to Chu Xiang and the more serious she was in her studies.
Of course, she now had countless Restorative Panacea. When she was tired, she ate it like candy. Even if it was a low-grade Restorative Panacea, she could always replenish her energy if she ate more.
Many young masters from various clans came to Sea City. They dressed up elegantly and came to pay a visit. However, they only saw He Feng. They didn't even see Chu Xiang's shadow. They didn't even see He Yunfei. They had no choice but to walk around outside every day. When they heard that Chu Xiang liked the dishes from the Fragrant Brothel, they all fought to reserve a seat there, hoping to meet Chu Xiang by chance.
The Fragrant Brothel was He Feng's private property. This time, he made a lot of money. He even joked with Chu Xiang about it. "Sea City hasn't been so lively for many years. If you visit a few more of my properties, perhaps my assets will double."
Chu Xiang didn't hesitate to take it seriously. "Okay, we should also go out and take a look at what kind of people have come."
When they heard her words, they felt that she meant to go out and watch the monkey show. However, at the same time, they also had some luck. In the past, Chu Xiang hadn't been born. The first time she appeared was in Sea City, and she knew them. This time, there were so many young masters and older sisters. Would Chu Xiang meet someone she liked and leave?
Chu Xiang quickly discovered that Jin Zhen liked to refine artifacts with her even more, and even refined a lot of practical artifacts for her. Luo Yu liked to ask about alchemy even more, and gave all the pills she refined to her. He Yunfei liked to search for delicacies even more, and whenever he found something delicious, he would give it to her to eat. Even He Feng and Old Man Luo liked to tell her all kinds of interesting things to make her happy.
Was she living a celestial life? If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to go out and meet that scum and that bitch, Chu Xiang would have stayed in the City Lord's residence and not left.
