Chapter 231: Young Master Mingyan Is A Noble Being
“Here they come, they’ve finally arrived!”
“It seems that last night was indeed calm and peaceful, but it’s only natural, Miss Feng and her group, from yesterday onwards, have likely become the focal point of attention for all parties in Yunmeng City.”
“Even if someone wanted to target them in secret, it’s unlikely they would choose this time period. That would undoubtedly provoke public outrage.”
“Among the top ten today, there are several veteran alchemists from various factions in Yunmeng City, but their potential is ultimately inferior to these young talents.”
“So, the focus of the competition is still on these rising stars.”
“For most alchemists, entering the top ten and obtaining a fourth-grade pill formula would already be considered a victory. But it’s really exciting to see who will take the top three spots today.”
“…”
The already lively atmosphere became even more heated when Feng Qingya and her group arrived at Wind Bell Island.
They didn’t arrive early, and the people from various factions who had arrived yesterday were mostly present today as well.
The Feng family was already fully represented, but when Feng Qingya and her group passed by the Feng family’s area, they discovered an interesting phenomenon.Behind Feng Lie, a row of four empty seats had been suddenly added, it was clearly a last-minute arrangement.
When Feng Qingya led Su Jingzhen and the others past the Feng family crowd, Feng Lie suddenly spoke up: “We, the Feng family, don’t need to sit with other factions.”
This was naturally directed at Feng Qingya.
Feng Qingya was taken aback for a moment before smiling and saying, “Uncle Sikong is an old friend of my father, so he is not an outsider. There are too many people on the Feng family side, so the other side seems a little more spacious.”
Her tone was calm, with a hint of mockery.
The Elder’s personal invitation was already a great honor to Feng Qingya. If it were an ordinary day, Feng Qingya might have been willing to comply.
But today, she had seen the faces of some Feng family members and felt a strong sense of disgust. She didn’t want to put herself in an awkward position.
From the start of the Alchemist Convention, when Su Jingzhen and the others entered the top ten, she had already set a clear goal for herself.
At this moment, Feng Lie also sensed Feng Qingya’s underlying intention.
He maintained a calm expression, but his heart sighed inwardly. He knew it was unlikely to pull Feng Qingya back to the Feng family while the Feng Baozhao lineage still held power.
At the same time, Feng Lie felt a pang of self-blame. This was also a consequence of his previous mistakes, which had led to the current situation.
As soon as Feng Qingya finished speaking, the four of them continued towards Spirit Sound Valley.
At this moment, Feng Mingyan suddenly stood up from within the Feng family crowd.
“Wait a minute!”
Upon hearing Feng Mingyan’s voice, Feng Qingya, Su Jingzhen, and the others all showed a hint of surprise.
They were curious about what Feng Mingyan wanted to say next.
Even the Feng family members were taken aback.
Feng Baozhao’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
He was already disappointed in his son, and now he was even feeling anxious.
If Feng Mingyan continued to cause trouble, it might be impossible to salvage the situation.
At this moment, Feng Mingyan’s gaze was directly fixed on Su Jingzhen.
“Master Su, perhaps there was some misunderstanding earlier, but I think there’s still a chance to make amends. If Master Su is willing to cooperate with me, Feng Mingyan, no matter how much Feng Qingya offers you, I’ll give you twice or even ten times that amount.”
Feng Mingyan’s tone was extremely sincere.
This caused the Feng family members, as well as many onlookers, to be shocked.
Feng Baozhao’s face had already turned dark and gloomy.
But at this moment, he couldn’t directly scold Feng Mingyan.
The surrounding crowd, who were eager to see the drama unfold, were all excited.
“This Young Master Mingyan is really bold, trying to poach someone at this critical moment! It seems like they must have had some prior relationship, with some unresolved grudges between them.”
“This is getting more and more exciting! If he’s really willing to offer ten times the reward, it’s possible that he might succeed. After all, Miss Feng’s current position in the Feng family might not allow her to offer too much.”
“There’s no rule that says you can’t poach someone at the last minute, right?”
“I didn’t expect such a thrilling twist just before the third round begins.”
“However, Master Su… this title seems familiar, like I’ve heard it somewhere before…”
The onlookers’ gazes continued to shift between Su Jingzhen and Feng Mingyan.
Feng Mingyan still had a sincere gaze fixed on Su Jingzhen.
His sudden attempt to poach Su Jingzhen had caught everyone off guard.
“Regarding the misunderstandings earlier, I, Feng, am willing to apologize to Master Su. But I believe that if Master Su cooperates with me, the benefits will exceed those of cooperating with Feng Qingya. This is a win-win situation!”
Before Su Jingzhen could respond, Feng Mingyan continued to speak, his tone still sincere.
“Whoa, Young Master Mingyan seems really serious! I thought he was just going to mock or make a scene, but it looks like he’s playing for real.”
“If Su Jingzhen is really swayed by Feng Mingyan’s words, Miss Feng Qingya might not have any chance of turning the tables. Feng Mingyan’s reputation might also soar to new heights.”
“It can only be said that this is Young Master Mingyan’s sudden and bold gamble.”
“…”
The onlookers’ eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Feng Qingya’s expression remained calm, with a hint of mockery in her gaze towards Feng Mingyan.
She had always had absolute faith in Su Jingzhen from the start, and her trust was unwavering.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a smile.
He first bowed to Feng Mingyan.
“There was no misunderstanding earlier, and I, Su, am not a petty person.”
As soon as Su Jingzhen spoke, the crowd’s expressions changed again.
Feng Mingyan’s smile grew thicker, thinking that Su Jingzhen might make the correct choice.
But then Su Jingzhen continued, “However, in my heart, Young Master Mingyan has always been like the morning dew on the grass, the evening mist on the lake, and the rising sun in the east. You are a noble and pure being, while I am just a humble mortal, so I dare not to aspire to your level. I apologize!”
Su Jingzhen’s posture was extremely humble.
After speaking, he followed Feng Qingya and the others to their seats in Spirit Sound Valley.
The surrounding crowd was still savoring his previous words.
Before long, many people started to whisper to each other.
Their eyes sparkled, and their faces suddenly broke into smiles.
“Hahaha, this guy not only has unparalleled alchemy skills, but his insults are also completely clean and without profanity! How interesting!”
“This trash, Feng Mingyan, is really going to become the laughing stock of Yunmeng City… Hahaha…”
“I have a feeling that these three sentences from Alchemist Su will become a legendary tale in Yunmeng City.”
“… …”
