Chapter 185: A Bleak Situation

After leaving the small courtyard of the Dantai family, Feng Qingya didn’t bring her entourage with the flying tool. Instead, she walked through the dilapidated streets and alleys and walked to the main street.

At this time, Feng Qingya didn’t make any attempts to conceal herself. In fact, she had already been high-profile yesterday when Su Jingzhen and Xuening were refining pills.

She intentionally wanted to let those who were paying attention to her see her existence.

With Su Jingzhen and Xuening by her side, she was extremely confident about the Alchemist Conference. She wanted to let Yunmeng City know that she was coming back.

She wanted to see what kind of “surprise” they would give her when she returned.

…

“Reporting to the Sect Master, Miss Feng Qingya of the Feng family is heading towards our Spiritual Medicine Sect again.”

Since Feng Qingya walked through the streets of Tianning City yesterday, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and many of the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s spies had been keeping an eye on her.

Now, seeing the direction they were heading, many of the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s scouts panicked.

Someone immediately reported to Sect Master Zhao Tianming.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianming, who was resting in a side hall, suddenly furrowed his brow.

“Someone reported that Miss Feng would come to the Spiritual Medicine Sect yesterday, but she didn’t show up. Is she coming this time?”

Zhao Tianming muttered to himself.

Feng Qingya and her group arrived in Tianning City on the first day, and after the fatty came to pay his respects, Zhao Tianming had already been on guard against Feng Qingya’s visit.

After all, the Alchemist Conference was about to begin, and they knew that Feng Qingya had been cut off from all resources by the Feng family.

If she came to seek their help, it would be normal.

However, over the past two days, Feng Qingya had only walked past the gates of the Spiritual Medicine Sect.

This had made the high-ranking officials of the Spiritual Medicine Sect anxious and uncertain.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Tianming opened his mouth again, “If Miss Feng really comes, tell her I’m not here!”

“Yes!”

…

At the same time, the high-ranking officials of the Spiritual Medicine Sect were on high alert.

Feng Qingya indeed brought Su Jingzhen and the others to the gates of the Spiritual Medicine Sect again.

The place was still bustling with activity.

They stood there for a few minutes.

Feng Qingya’s mouth curved into a beautiful arc: “I guess the Sect Master and the elders of the Spiritual Medicine Sect must be very anxious right now.”

“If it weren’t for Sister Xuening and Master Su, I would really have come to beg them this time.”

At this time, Feng Qingya’s tone was quite relaxed.

Behind her, Su Jingzhen’s eyes were filled with doubts.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Feng, what are we doing here?”

The Spiritual Medicine Sect was indeed powerful, but they couldn’t just barge in and ask for their help.

Moreover, the Spiritual Medicine Sect had never produced a talented alchemist like Dantai Mingjing.

So, neither Su Jingzhen nor Xuening had any expectations from this place.

When Feng Qingya heard this, she smiled coyly and said, “Don’t you think, Master Su, that Sister Xuening and I standing here are the most beautiful scenery on this entire street?”

As she spoke, she boldly threw a flirtatious glance at Su Jingzhen.

Before Su Jingzhen could respond, she continued, “This should be the place with the largest daily traffic in Tianning City.”

“Do you think the Treasure Gathering Pavilion would have spies watching me here?”

“But now there are not many people in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion who are willing to stand on Qingya’s side.”

Feng Qingya’s words left Xuening looking puzzled, not quite understanding the meaning behind them.

But Su Jingzhen immediately grasped Feng Qingya’s intentions.

He let out a sigh in his heart.

“Is Miss Feng trying to use this method to ensure our safety on the way to Yunmeng City?”

“Have our circumstances really deteriorated to this point?”

“We’ve reached a point where I and Miss Xuening must accompany you to the end.”

“Can you honestly tell us, as the direct descendant of the Feng family, how much power you still have?

“So that Miss Xuening and I can prepare ourselves.”

Su Jingzhen didn’t want to ask this question, but looking at Feng Qingya’s performance, he felt that their situation was becoming increasingly precarious.

He knew that Feng Qingya had chosen to stand at the gates of the Spiritual Medicine Sect for a few minutes to use them as witnesses.

To prove that she was leaving from here to head to Yunmeng City.

The Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Tianning City could also testify to this.

And those who wanted to target Feng Qingya were likely from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion or even within the Feng family itself.

So, there must be someone who didn’t want Feng Qingya to reach Yunmeng City safely, or at least not before the Alchemist Conference began.

As long as Feng Qingya couldn’t reach Yunmeng City and participate in the Alchemist Conference, all her expectations would come to nothing.

Perhaps when they first arrived in Tianning City, the news had already been sent back to the Feng family in Yunmeng City. seaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

So, by boldly appearing here and then departing, those who might have targeted them along the way would be deterred.

After all, the Alchemist Conference was hosted by the Feng family, but many powerful forces in Yunmeng City and its surroundings were also paying attention.

Regarding Feng Qingya’s situation, not only the Feng family but also the entire Treasure Gathering Pavilion was well aware of it.

If Feng Qingya couldn’t return to Yunmeng City in time, the Feng family would lose face.

So, this high-profile appearance would actually make their journey safer.

Sect Master Zhao Tianming of the Spiritual Medicine Sect had always been afraid of Feng Qingya coming to ask for his help.

But in reality, his greatest use, in Feng Qingya’s eyes, was only as a passive witness.

Feng Qingya’s thoughts were intricate, and this could be considered one of her clever plans.

At this time, Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s gazes were fixed on her.

Feng Qingya’s face revealed a bitter smile: “If I tell the truth, you two shouldn’t be afraid, okay?”

“In the current Feng family, I’m the only one holding the fort!”

“If I had to say what power I could still use, it would only be Old Mu.”

“Of course, now I also have the two of you.”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya’s tone was not tense, but it was serious.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening were stunned again.

They knew Feng Qingya’s situation was bad, but they hadn’t thought it would be this dire.

Su Jingzhen also let out a bitter laugh.

This was terrible… if they really reached Yunmeng City they would be surrounded by enemies and dangers.

Seeing this, Feng Qingya smiled again: “Are you afraid, Master Su?”

Su Jingzhen nodded: “I’m naturally a bit afraid.”

“But since I’ve promised Miss Feng, I won’t back down.”

As he spoke, Su Jingzhen’s heart felt a few more points of sympathy for Feng Qingya.

Before he finished speaking, a golden word appeared before his eyes.

Feng Qingya’s expression changed, and she smiled again: “Although I’m currently isolated and helpless in the Feng family…”

“If we can really achieve our goals at this Alchemist Conference…”

“Then everything will be different!”

As she spoke, her expression turned serious again: “So, this time, I’m really counting on you two!”
