Chapter 51 The Young Master Who Makes Alchemy, Chen Ying'er Who Admits Her Mistakes
Sniffing the fragrant medicinal aroma in the air, Lin Xin couldn't help but complain: "Master, you are in such a good mood. The atmosphere is so tense, but you are refining the elixir here."
Xingyuan raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"
"..."
Lin Xin didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, no one was willing to play against this guy Xingyuan. The opponents had to sit up there and draw lots for his number before they could leave.
Not to mention Xingyuan himself, Lin Xin felt bored for the other person in his heart.
There is no game to play, but he still has to go to the court every day. If he were in his place, he would probably start refining pills. It's really not Xingyuan's fault that he has no sense of urgency on the court.
"Hey, okay."
Lin Xin sighed, then found a place to sit cross-legged and meditate, recovering the mental energy that had just been consumed in the game.
On the high platform, Lin Chen, one of the deputy masters of the Magic Temple, did not look much better than his grandson Lin Xin.
I didn't expect that Xingyuan really had such an advanced level in potion making. Lin Xin actually didn't lie to me.
This kid...
Lin Chen stared at Xingyuan, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: Is this kid a all-rounder?
"Palace Master Lin."
As I was thinking about something, I suddenly heard the voice of a temple elder behind me.
Lin Chen nodded, turned his head and looked at him, "You say."
"Ah."
The old man nodded gently, "The Knights' Temple and Yang Haohan said they want an explanation from the Magic Temple."
"statement?"
Lin Chen was a little slow to react, "What do you mean?"
The old man was also a little confused, and could only repeat: "He said that a young man from our Magic Temple ruined their original marriage with the Soul Temple, and he wants to come and ask for punishment."
"…Just tell him that we just found out about this, and ask him to give us some time to investigate, and then we'll get back to him."
Lin Chen thought for a moment and let the old man reply.
"Then should I send someone down to ask them?"
Lin Chen patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Why are you asking? It's the game. Don't affect the state of our players."
The old man understood immediately, "Palace Master Lin, I understand."
It turns out that Palace Master Lin meant to delay it first. After all, although Yang Haohan is the Palace Master of the Knights Temple, he is also the current leader of the Temple Alliance.
With this status, unless it was a big deal, the other party would not openly cause trouble for their Magic Temple. Moreover, it was an emotional issue involving children and grandchildren. If he brought it up openly, he would only lose face...
After asking the old man to reply, Lin Chen turned around, pinching his beard with his hands, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Having said that, who is this troublemaker?
It can't be Xingyuan, right? This kid doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing.
Could it be Lin Xin?
Although I have been spurring him on most of the time these days, I cannot rule out his suspicion...
Never mind, I'll ask him over later.
"No need to compete anymore. I am no match for Senior No. 2. I admit defeat."
Looking back at the opponent who drew his number, Xingyuan nodded slightly to him, and then immediately packed up his bottles and jars, and put the alchemy furnace and other things into the storage ring. The storage space inside Cai'er's forget-me-not ring is actually not that big. After all, this kind of ring has more symbolic meaning than practical meaning.
Apart from personal belongings and some truly valuable items, such as equipment, precious metals, etc., he would not put anything in the ring that Cai'er gave him.
It is true that the storage ring is very expensive, but for Xingyuan, who has already reached the level of a top-grade potion master, it is nothing.
He could just spend 200,000 gold coins and buy a room with a spacious enough interior to accommodate all his miscellaneous stuff.
"gone."
Xingyuan patted Lin Xin's shoulder and walked towards the exit passage before him.
……
Holy Alliance Executive Government, Soul Temple Department.
As the temple with the smallest number of members and the fewest contestants, the Soul Temple had already finished its first round of preliminaries yesterday.
Grandma Sanshui was looking through the list and information of contestants who would represent their Soul Temple in the subsequent six major temple finals. She was thinking about what rewards to give them, as well as the whereabouts of the contestants who had performed well in the preliminaries but were unfortunately eliminated.
“Dong~Dong——”
Hearing the knock on the door, Sanshui responded casually: "Come in."
"Grandma, it's me."
Sanshui took a look after hearing the voice and nodded, "It's Ying'er, come in."
Chen Ying'er did not respond, but carefully observed the expression on her grandmother's face. When she saw that there was nothing unusual, she obediently found a place to sit down.
Seeing that Chen Ying'er didn't say anything for a long time after coming in, Sanshui sighed helplessly after annotating a piece of document.
"Girl, what do you want to do with grandma?"
"Grandma, I'm sorry."
Thinking about how she came to her grandmother yesterday to tell her that she wanted to cancel her engagement with Yang Wenzhao, and said that she had already talked to his grandfather.
Not only did Sanshui not get angry, he was even worried that she would suffer a loss if she confronted the past, so he did not allow her to go with him and went to meet the leader of the Knights Templar himself. Chen Ying'er also felt very guilty.
Especially that night when Sanshui's mother-in-law came back, she told her not to worry, everything was resolved, and she didn't have to force herself to marry Yang Wenzhao anymore.
Although she was not sure what had happened, Chen Ying'er was not stupid. She knew that this kind of thing was no joke and could not be canceled just like that. It must have caused huge trouble for their Soul Temple.
Sanshui put down the information in his hand, looked up at Chen Ying'er who was standing in front of him like a child who had made a mistake, and asked, "Do you know you are wrong?"
"Well...I know I was wrong."
Chen Ying'er was sniffing her nose, tears as big as beans fell from the corners of her eyes, her eyes were red, and she was about to tell Sanshui that she regretted breaking up the engagement yesterday and accepted that she would marry Yang Wenzhao when she grew up.
Chen Ying'er's idea was very naive. She thought that as long as she did this, everyone would treat yesterday's incident as if it had never happened, and Soul Temple would not be targeted by Knight Temple in the alliance because of this incident, and the two families could still be reconciled as before...
However, before she could finally convince herself to sacrifice her future happiness after a whole night of mental preparation, she heard Grandma Sanshui speaking again.
"You silly girl, if you feel you can't live with that damned boy Yang Wenzhao, then you should tell grandma earlier!"
Sanshui said this, pulling Chen Ying'er's little hand and was about to hit her palm.
But when he saw that she looked a little scared, and his hands were so thin without much flesh, he was reluctant to use any force, and the force of his blows seemed to be clapping with her.
