Chapter 357 Surging Emotions

The next day, Wu Long visited Yu Huan whose alchemy pavilion was still being prepared. Her alchemy room and at the same time office was already finished by this time, so she was in the middle of practicing alchemy skills necessary to produce the pill from the Liquid Fire Flower. nove(l)bi(n.)com

"Please come in, Mister Wu"

When she saw him entering after she answered the knock on the door with a "Yes", she stood up with a modest smile, giving off a calm and collected impression. There was already no sign of her flustered appearance from the last time they met as it seemed she was able to regain her cool.

'Good, she has strong willpower and mindfulness'

Wu Long smiled at this sight. It was a very important quality for alchemists who had to keep their cool under any circumstances, otherwise their flame control could be disrupted at the most important moments of pill refinement, when the fatigue and stress accumulated.

'Granted, it has already been a few days but in a way her mind was greatly disrupted from what I could tell'

"How have you been?"

"I have fully studied the process to produce the pill you asked but I still have some reservations about my skills.

Regarding the Pavilion, I have received a schedule of delivery for the ingredients and an approximate dates for when the different parts of the building would be ready, and a few of the warehouses are already in use"

"Hahah, I am not asking about the progress, but how are you adapting to life here"

"Eh? Ah~..."

Yu Huan's eyes very slightly widened in surprise, and then her gaze moved to the side and down as her cheeks almost imperceptibly blushed. She unconsciously tucked a lock of hair that broke out of her ponytail behind her ear as she cleared her throat and looked back at him with a normal expression.

"Hmm, I've mostly got used to the new office and people from the Soaring Feather Trading Company have been very helpful so I got everything I need.

The house is also very spacious and comfortable, much more that the place we lived in when we were in the Imperial Capital. I am also not separated from Sister Rui, at least for the most part.

And more than anything, it is peaceful and quite here, which helps concentrate.

I wanted to thank you once again for giving me this precious opportunity"

As she spoke, her voice became more even and a little bit of warmth was mixed into it. Wu Long noted that she did not mention anything about getting used to the people of the sect, but then again she was not a very social person so it made sense.

"If this is a possibility I believe it is worth exploring, and His Highness would also be more comfortable with the procedure"

Yu Huan sighed with some relief as her idea did not turn out to be some foolishness that made him disappointed with her.

"You are right, thank you. It is indeed a good proposal"

"I am glad to be of use"

Wu Long smiled at her and a smile touched her lips, allowing him to see a rare scene of beauty.

"You are helping me a lot even now, so being useful is not something you should be worried about"

He softly shook his head and stood up to leave, as she got up mirroring his movements.

"Then, the next time I will be seeing you will be after my trip"

"You are going on another trip?"

"Mm, I need to be away for some time"

"Will the trip take long?"

"I don't think it would, is there something you need from me in the near future? You can always contact me via communication talismans, I will make sure you have accessto them"

"Ah, no, I was just asking to make sure I have time to prepare everything before you are back"

"You don't need to hurry, take your time as it is important not to stumble because of being pressed on time"

Yu Huan replied showing subtle signs of being flustered so Wu Long only smiled as he nodded to her and left her office.

As she closed the door behind him, she leaned her back onto it, sighing as a very subtle blush reappeared on her cheeks.

"Haah~, what is it with me these days?"
