Chapter 475: Chapter 477 The Exposure of the Conspiracy (Part 2)
Xiao Jing fluttered her big eyes and sweetly called out, “Grandpa Wushan.”
“Hmph!” Master Wushan furiously flicked his sleeve, “Don’t try to ingratiate yourself with me; I can’t handle it.”
As he spoke, he turned his head towards Mu Ruyue, talking and laughing freely. Watching Master Wushan’s smiling face, Third Young Master Xiao’s complexion turned the color of iron, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Xiao Jing was slightly startled, her gaze swept over Mu Ruyue’s stunning face, a glimmer of light crossed her eyes, but she said nothing…
“Miss Mu, let’s go in.”
Master Wushan made a welcoming gesture, a deeper smile on his aged face.
“Who knows what medicine Master Wushan has taken to favor this woman so,” Third Young Master Xiao frowned slightly, feeling very displeased with Master Wushan’s politeness towards Mu Ruyue.
By now, many forces had been invited and had arrived.
It wasn’t that they were unwilling to refuse, but with even Master Wushan representing the Royal Family, how could they dare not attend?
As everyone entered the Alchemy Tower, they were captivated by their surroundings…
The entire hall was carved with elegant simplicity, several precious medicinal herbs placed around, and at the very front sat a handsome man, his features sharp and exquisite, his black robe making his domineering aura even more pronounced.
This man appeared to be in his twenties, resting his head in his hands, the slightly open black robe revealing a robust chest, so enticing.
Upon seeing the man, everyone felt only one thing…
King!
This man was like a sovereign on high; his sweeping black gaze carried an invisible pressure, as if he looked down upon the world.
“It’s him!” Xiao Jing exclaimed in surprise.
“Jing’er, do you know this man?”
Third Master Xiao turned his head towards the young girl beside him, raising an eyebrow as he asked.
“Mhm,” Xiao Jing nodded slightly, “I met him once at my maternal grandfather’s house. It was two years ago, so it was just a brief encounter.”
It’s a pity this man was hard to approach…
Xiao Jing sighed, her eyes downcast with a touch of disappointment.
Even though it had been a fleeting meeting, his tall figure had been etched in her mind, never forgotten all this time, and her return this time was also to ask her father to help find this man.
She hadn’t expected to encounter him here…
“Is everyone here?” The man cocked the corner of his lips, his domineering gaze sweeping over the crowd, “Since you’re here, then take a seat. Servants, serve the tea.”
No sooner had his words fallen than tea was presented.
After tasting the tea, those present let out exclamations of surprise, “Why do I feel my Qi has increased quite a bit after drinking the tea?”
The crowd was abruptly startled, and they too hurriedly sipped the tea.
“Indeed, my Qi has also increased.”
“My strength is rather low, so the increase for me is the greatest…”
Yan Jin narrowed his eyes with a seemingly amused smirk playing on his lips, “Regarding many things inside our Alchemy Tower, I have already informed you all. I have brought you here to ask one thing, whether you are willing to join our Alchemy Tower? Those who are willing naturally can enjoy the endless benefits, and those who are not, I can only ask you to leave…”
Upon hearing this, those seated fell silent.
Just as they were pondering, an elderly voice slowly spoke, “Since no one is making their stance clear, let me be the first to join.”
In an instant, everyone turned to look, and upon seeing the elder who spoke, they were momentarily taken aback.
