Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Abiding by the Rules of the Conference 1
Translator: 549690339
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Yinxu Prefecture became more bustling day by day as the number of alchemists reached an unprecedented peak. Witnessing this, Qin Changqing couldn’t help but admire the appeal of Danqing Pavilion. A single Saintess had already attracted almost all the alchemists in Dongchi County.
Of course, this bustling event was also supported by another reason: the top ten of this Alchemy Convention would be allowed to join the Danqing Pavilion and receive full training from the sect.
The ultimate winner could even enter the Chuangong Hall for half a year, and possibly become the personal disciple of the Pavilion Master!
When this news was released, it was merely a matter of time before alchemists from outside Dongchi County also came.
However, Qin Changqing was baffled by this. If they wanted to recruit disciples, why did they specifically choose Yinxu Prefecture, a remote place? Weren’t there better places in the North Region, like the grand cities or county capitals? If the intention was to suppress the Lingxiao Sect’s momentum, it seemed like quite an overkill to him.
But after two months of investigation, Red Mill had not been able to dig up any new information.
He didn’t dare to probe too much, as Danqing Pavilion was no ordinary force like the Dayan Dynasty. There were likely numerous experts around Zhuge Wanqing.
As such, two months passed by.
And then—
Mu Ling became pregnant! !!
“Husband, what should we do?” Lady Mu furrowed her brow, “We were always very careful, how could I still get pregnant?”
Qin Changqing laughed lightheartedly, “Accidents happen, my love. It’s all destiny, Ling’er, it’s all destiny.”
“But...” Mu Ling was about to say something, but seeing the joy in Qin Changqing’s eyes, she accepted it.
Pregnant or not, she could just take it easy for a couple of years.
Futhermore, there shouldn’t be any issues as long as she didn’t do anything risky while pregnant.
Well, it should be fine.
Qin Changqing was in high spirits and immediately sent a message to Mu Taixu, informing his father-in-law of the good news.
Oh, Father, you’re about to become a grandfather! Aren’t you excited? This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
The sisters in Qin Mansion were also thrilled and congratulated Mu Ling.
Mu Ling was extremely pleased...
As the Qin family celebrated, the Alchemy Convention officially commenced.
“Senior sister is really modest.”
“Isn’t Junior Sister as well?”
The voices of the two sisters were very soft, and outsiders could not hear them. Only the old woman on the side shook her head secretly, used to this scene.
Though the two appeared to have a good relationship like sisters, it was actually quite fragile and would break easily.
When they reached the judges’ stage, Zhuge Wanqing walked out a few steps by herself. Her gentle and soft voice clearly reached everyone’s ears.
“Thank you all for coming from far away to participate in this Alchemy Convention. On behalf of Danqing Pavilion, I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude. I believe you all already know the rules and rewards of the convention, so I won’t elaborate further. I just hope that everyone will abide by the rules, put forth their best effort, and not try to take shortcuts and harm others or themselves.”
“Don’t worry, Saintess, we will certainly abide by the convention’s rules.” “If someone causes trouble, I of Tieyun Mountain will be the first to object!”
“I, Yan Potian from Yunshan, won’t agree either!”
“Neither will I, the 18th young master of Yinxu!”
Seeing a group of enthusiastic citizens from Yinxu, Zhuge Wanqing smiled slightly. Just as she was about to step onto the commentary stage, an incongruous voice suddenly rang out.
“Wow- There’s quite a crowd here. I didn’t expect our Yinxu Prefecture to have such a lively day.”
Everyone chased after the voice.
They saw Qin Changqing, leading the Qin family’s team and those from Dan Peak as they walked towards this side with an arrogant stride.
Looking around, Qin Changqing laughed, “You see, these alchemists are all lechers. They know that the beautiful Zhuge girl is hosting the convention, and they all made an effort to come to Yinxu from far away. They still have the nerve to call me lustful, we are all the same.’
“Master is wise,” the steward followed up.
“It is Qin Changqing!”
The alchemists all stared at him.
“Qin Changqing, ” a alchemist in an ancient yellow cloud-patterned robe snorted, “We came to Yinxu to participate in the Alchemy Convention because of Danqing Pavilion’s reputation, could it be because of your Qin family’s prestige? Furthermore, Saintess Zhuge is a famous alchemist in Tianchuan State. It’s only natural that we admire her. What qualifications do you, a mere family head, have to point fingers at us?”
“You are...” Qin Changqing glanced at him.
“This old man is Liao Chao from Yunlai Prefecture, a third-order alchemist!”
“Oh, from Yunlai Prefecture.” Qin Changqing beckoned someone over from behind, “Take him.”
Suddenly, a group of people from Qin family rushed up and grabbed Liao Chao.
“Let me go! What are you doing!?” I am from the Liao clan of Yunlai Prefecture, how dare you be so rude to me as a mere Tier 7 family!”
Although Liao Chao was a third-order alchemist, his cultivation was only at half-step Golden Elixir realm. The two people who took action were both disciples of Lingxiao Sect at the Golden Elixir realm, who had been stationed in Qin family by the Sect in recent years..
