Chapter 976 Alchemy
A man in his thirties stepped out from behind Yin Tianlu and shouted, "Do you not have eyes? Don't you know this is the Alliance Leader Yin of the Jiangnan Province Martial Alliance?"
The two took a look at Yin Tianlu and were startled. It was indeed Yin Tianlu!
They bowed repeatedly and said, "We apologize, Alliance Leader Yin, we didn't recognize you."
Even though they looked down on Yin Tianlu, he was, after all, the Alliance Leader of the Jiangnan Province Martial Alliance, so they had to show him that respect.
"Forget it, forget it!"
Yin Tianlu's face darkened as he waved his hand.
He needed Chen Xuan's help now. When hitting a dog, one must consider its owner. Besides, these two were just guards, and he didn't take them seriously at all.
After speaking, Yin Tianlu strode towards the Su family villa.
"Stop!"
The two martial artists rushed forward and blocked Yin Tianlu.
"What do you mean by this?"
Yin Tianlu's eyes widened as he stared at the two warriors.
Knowing he was the Alliance Leader of the Martial Alliance, these two dared to stop him?
"Apologies, Alliance Leader Yin, Master Bai has given instructions that anyone who is not from the Su family of the provincial capital must obtain approval from Miss Su to enter!" one of the martial artists said softly.
Yin Tianlu was taken aback. He then noticed that the clothes the two were wearing were all from the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce. "You are from the Bai family?"
"Precisely!"
The two nodded in unison.
"Even I'm not allowed?"
"Yes..."
Yin Tianlu was almost furious but took a deep breath and held back.
"I'll call Miss Su..."
Yin Tianlu spat out these words through gritted teeth, glaring fiercely at the two.
The two wailed inwardly but did not regret it. They were merely following orders.
Helpless, Yin Tianlu made a phone call. He hung up a moment later and glared fiercely at the two, "Your White Dragon Chamber of Commerce is quite something. Very good, I've noted you two down..."
The two were close to tears and could only explain that they were following orders from above.
Yin Tianlu was about to say something else when a voice suddenly came, "Alliance Leader Yin, why are you arguing with subordinates? Isn't your scope too narrow?"
Yin Tianlu looked in the direction of the voice. A familiar figure, with his hands behind his back, walked over slowly. It was not Su Yunxi, but Master Bai.
"Why are you here?"
"It's my turn to be responsible for the Su family's security, so of course, I have to be here!"
Master Bai said, patting his chest with pride.
Even though he was guarding the gate, he considered it an honorable task!
What made Yin Tianlu even angrier was that not only Master Bai was present, but Bai Wushen was also there.
Yin Tianlu's face turned ashen. "The Jiangnan Province Martial Alliance has had so many problems, and your Bai family has ignored them. Now you're acting as security guards for the Su family of the provincial capital..."
"I am proud and honored to be a security guard for Mr. Chen!"
Master Bai smiled faintly, feeling no shame at all. He said, "As for the matters of the Jiangnan Province Martial Alliance, after what Alliance Leader Yin did, you should be able to imagine the outcome."
Yin Tianlu was rendered speechless.
Two days ago, he had regretted it so much that his intestines were turning green.
"Alright, less nonsense. Is Miss Su inside? I want to go in!" Yin Tianlu said in a deep voice.
"Follow me!"
Master Bai beckoned and led Yin Tianlu inside. However, after only a few steps, he stopped. "Your subordinates are not allowed to enter."
"What do you mean? What if something happens to Alliance Leader Yin?"
The subordinate was unhappy. He was Yin Tianlu's personal bodyguard.
If anything happened to Yin Tianlu, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.
"Then, perhaps none of you should enter," Master Bai said without giving any face.
"What did you say?"
The man was immediately enraged and was about to say something else, but Yin Tianlu stopped him. "Alright, you wait outside for a while."
Yin Tianlu's subordinate had no choice but to agree.
"That's more like it."
Master Bai nodded and led Yin Tianlu towards the Su family villa.
Upon entering the villa, Yin Tianlu was stunned. There were sentry posts every three to five meters, and three patrol teams.
What shocked Yin Tianlu even more was that the lowest cultivation level of the security personnel on guard and patrol was that of an Internal Strength Grandmaster.
Yin Tianlu recognized some of the familiar faces. They were some of the hall masters of the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce, leading people on patrol.
Yin Tianlu: "......"
The provincial government didn't even have such strict security!
He was very curious about what had happened inside the Su family of the provincial capital.
Soon, Master Bai led Yin Tianlu to the living room of the villa, where Su Yunxi was sitting on the sofa watching television.
"Miss Su, I've brought Alliance Leader Yin here," Master Bai said faintly to Su Yunxi.
"Oh, I know."
Su Yunxi nodded and continued watching television, leaving Yin Tianlu aside. Yin Tianlu didn't know whether to go or sit, so he could only stand there awkwardly.
In the past, wherever he went, everyone would cater to him. But now, they were indifferent to him.
Yin Tianlu wanted to leave in a huff, but thinking that he needed something from them, he could only stand there.
It wasn't until Su Yunxi finished watching an episode of the TV series that she looked at Yin Tianlu. "Alliance Leader Yin, please sit down quickly, quickly sit down. Why are you standing there? Someone, quickly make some tea!"
Hearing this, Yin Tianlu was almost furious, but he dared not say anything, feeling extremely wronged.
Master Bai chuckled at the side.
"Weren't you all mighty before? You couldn't even see us. Now you're left waiting, you deserve it!"
Yin Tianlu sat down on the sofa, and a servant brought the tea.
"May I ask why Alliance Leader Yin has come?" Su Yunxi asked faintly.
Yin Tianlu smiled and said, "Miss Su, to be honest, I've come today for Mr. Chen and hope to seek Mr. Chen's forgiveness."
"Then please go back first."
"Huh? What does Miss Su mean? I'm very sincere!"
"I'm truly sorry, Chen Xuan is currently in seclusion, preparing for the upcoming decisive battle with Su Ning," Su Yunxi said faintly.
The matter of refining pills could not be revealed, of course. As for the seclusion for the decisive battle with Su Ning, that was an excuse she had prepared in advance.
"Ah? Really? Is it that Mr. Chen doesn't want to see me?" Yin Tianlu asked with a hint of suspicion.
"Certainly not. Chen Xuan is indeed in seclusion. As you can see, the Su family of our provincial capital is under strict guard."
Yin Tianlu nodded upon hearing this.
"Alright, then I won't disturb you!"
He sighed and turned to leave.
Without Chen Xuan's forgiveness, the major martial arts powers of the provincial capital would not help.
"Alas!" Yin Tianlu was dejected.
After Yin Tianlu left, Master Bai burst into laughter, "That old fellow Yin Tianlu will probably be vexed again!"
Su Yunxi smiled faintly but said nothing.
However, the implication was clear: if one made a mistake, one had to bear the consequences.
In the following days, Yin Tianlu came every day, but Chen Xuan was always in seclusion. He would stay at the Su family of the provincial capital for a while and then leave.
Finally, the sixth day arrived!
The Su family of the provincial capital exuded a powerful aura. Anyone who approached the Su family villa felt as if they were carrying dozens of pounds of heavy stones.
