Qingyue City, the residence of the eldest lady Lin Yutong.
Luo Lao's face was gloomy at this time. He looked at his young lady and said in a deep voice, "This is how it happened. Song Chen was taken away from the Fire Dragon Mountains by Hu Tian. I haven't seen them since then. Young lady, they may have escaped. We must make other preparations!"
Lin Yutong's brows furrowed slightly, the gentle smile that usually lingered on her face gone. Feeling somewhat down, she said, "Mr. Luo, you said Young Master Song was using us from the beginning, but how could he have known so early on that Lin Yuheng and the Black Fire Sect would go to the Fire Dragon Mountains to hunt the One-Horned Fire Spirit Flood Dragon?"
Elder Luo didn't hesitate to answer this question and said directly, "Maybe they didn't know before, but the moment they saw the Fire Spirit Dragon, Song Chen must have made a decision. Furthermore, when Hu Tian was fighting the Black Fire Sect's strongman, he didn't use his full strength at all. He must have been preparing to escape with his men long ago."
Moreover, now that I think about it, this operation is so dangerous, it is obviously abnormal that Ye Chen insisted on going to such a dangerous place with us. He must have known something a long time ago!"
Obviously, at this moment, Mr. Luo was full of distrust towards Ye Chen, and always felt that everything the other party did was ill-intentioned!
But Lin Yutong still seemed a little skeptical about this, or perhaps she didn't want to believe that Ye Chen was lying to her...
"Mr. Luo, I think we should wait until Mr. Song and the others return before we discuss anything. It's never a good idea to make such groundless guesses without any evidence." Lin Yutong said in a firm tone.
However, Mr. Luo was still upset and was very disdainful of his young lady's naive ideas.
"Come back? Those two guys with ulterior motives might have already run away. How could they come back?"
But just as he was thinking this, a servant from the princess's mansion suddenly came to report that Master Song had come to ask for an audience...
"What?! He really came back?" Mr. Luo's expression changed, and then he looked surprised.
As for Lin Yutong, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that you're back. Now that you're back, you can explain everything clearly, so that Mr. Luo won't be so angry and think that Mr. Song is a bad guy.
Ye Chen, dressed in a green robe, walked into the room accompanied by Hu Tian. Looking at Lin Yutong and the gloomy Luo Lao in the room, Ye Chen greeted them calmly, "Miss Lin!"
Before the furious Luo Lao could speak, Lin Yutong smiled and nodded first, saying, "Young Master Song, thank you for your hard work on this trip to the Fire Dragon Mountains. I was worried about whether you would be in danger, but now that I see that you have returned safely, I am relieved."
It has to be said that there is a reason why Lin Yutong has a reputation far exceeding that of his brothers and sisters in the entire Qingyue City.
At the very least, her gentle personality, coupled with her stunning appearance, makes her the object of desire and admiration for all men in Qingyue City.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Lin. Originally, this operation was intended to stop Lin Yuheng and the Black Fire Sect, but in the end, due to my willfulness, the mission failed, and the One-Horned Fire Spirit Dragon still fell into the hands of Lin Yuheng and others. For this, I would like to apologize to Miss Lin."
Not everyone knows about the existence of Dragon Yuan.
Ye Chen also saw it accidentally when he was forced to read the ancient books about alchemists recorded in his family when he was young.
As for why Lin Yuheng knew this, it must be because of the Black Fire Sect.
After all, the Black Fire Sect is considered an old-established force in the Dan Domain, and it is also a second-rate peak-level force. The things it inherits are not necessarily worse than those of the Ye family.
After hearing what Ye Chen said, Lin Yutong was about to say that it was not a big deal, but Mr. Luo, who couldn't help but speak, finally spoke.
"Let's not apologize for now. I'm actually quite curious about one thing. I wonder what exactly happened to Young Master Song during this day. How could he have actually broken through from a Grand Fighter Master to a Fighting Spirit? Haha, isn't such a terrifying breakthrough speed a bit too shocking?"
As he spoke, Luo Lao's eyes narrowed, and his tone became more serious. He continued, "Or, could it be that Young Master Song obtained some special treasure when he was in the Fire Dragon Mountains..."
Ye Chen took a glance at the other person and knew that this old guy would definitely not give up, but he had already prepared for this.
"Oh, you're talking about my cultivation... Mr. Luo, you don't know, but I was suddenly killed by Lin Yuheng's Dou Huang subordinate in the Fire Dragon Mountains. This made me deeply aware of the shortcomings of my own strength, so I took a seventh-grade pill to improve my cultivation. This way, at least in the future, if I encounter danger, I can run faster..."
"Seventh-grade elixir?" Old Luo narrowed his eyes slightly.
When the elixir reaches the seventh grade, its meaning is completely different!
After all, in this Dan Domain, alchemists below the sixth rank are numerous, and even sixth-rank alchemists are not that rare.
But when an alchemist reaches the seventh rank, he can become a guest of honor in any faction. Even many weaker factions cannot afford to hire a seventh rank alchemist...
Just like in Qingyue City, according to Luo Lao's understanding, the strongest one was only a sixth-grade senior alchemist. Although the Qingyue City Lord knew several seventh-grade alchemists, people of that level were simply not something Qingyue City could afford to support, so they would not choose to join them.
"Mr. Song, with the cultivation level of a great fighting master, is taking a seventh-grade elixir? Isn't this too wasteful?" Old Luo asked tentatively.
Ye Chen smiled slightly, looking nonchalant. "It's just a seventh-grade elixir. My master can easily refine it. What's the point of wasting it?"
These words shocked Luo Lao, and then he looked at Ye Chen carefully and found that the other party did not seem to be bragging.
Moreover, a mere great fighting master can carry with him a servant who is stronger than himself. If the other party is backed by a seventh-grade alchemist, then it makes sense.
After all, for a seventh-grade alchemist, let alone a half-step Dou Zong, there are many people who are willing to be driven by the real Dou Zong powerhouse!
Unlike Elder Luo's complicated thoughts, Lin Yutong was simply curious and asked, "In that case, Young Master Song, you are also an alchemist?"
Ye Chen chuckled and nodded, "That's right. I am also an alchemist, and a third-grade alchemist at that!"
Although a third-grade alchemist was nothing in the eyes of Lin Yutong and others, looking at Ye Chen's handsome face, he was obviously not very old, and might have just reached adulthood.
To be able to become a third-grade alchemist at such a young age, he can already be compared with many descendants of alchemist families in the Dan Realm...
It seems that everything the other party just said might actually be true!
