After a while, more and more well-known alchemists appeared near the imperial city.
They were all alchemists who had treated the Duke of Zhenguo.
When they saw the gray-robed old man who had arrived first, they all bowed respectfully: "Master Feng."
"Master Feng, you are here too!"
The old man became more and more proud after receiving so much compliments, and his expression became more and more aloof.
Moreover, every time he accepted a gift from someone, he would look at Lou Qianxue and the others...
As time went by, everyone couldn't help but talk about Lou Qianxue and the others: "Who knows who those young people are?"
Master Feng happened to hear this and snorted coldly, "They? They are just a few ignorant brats who know a little bit about alchemy but are arrogant and ignorant of the world!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood: "It seems that those young people must have offended Master Feng..."
"Then I have to stay away from them! Everyone knows that since Master Xu died in the alchemy competition in Lingxi County, and Master She, who was treating the prince, died suddenly overnight, Master Feng is the only fourth-level alchemist in the entire imperial city!"
"That's right! Although there is a Fourth Uncle, he was born in the Danwang Mansion and is a genius. He has always disdained to associate with us... Therefore, Master Feng, the only fourth-level alchemist, is the undisputed number one among us! Any alchemist who offends him will never have a good life in the future!"
"So, no matter what, we can't offend Master Feng..."
People are talking about...
A skinny old man in a black robe came slowly...
"Huh? Why is he here too!" Someone saw him and his expression changed slightly.
"Who is he?" Someone who didn't know him asked his companion in a low voice.
"He is also a fourth-level alchemist... However, he was born in Fengyang County, not in the Imperial City... Whenever he met the three fourth-level alchemists in the Imperial City, they would always fight against each other... But he has never been able to beat Master Feng, Master Xu, and Master She..."
"But this time... Master Xu and Master She are gone. I wonder if Master Feng can still control him..."
Everyone looked at the old man in black robe in surprise and doubt.
The old man in black robe had a hard expression on his face. He glanced at everyone indifferently. When he saw someone, his eyes suddenly lit up. He walked forward quickly and said excitedly, "Miss Lou! So you are really here! After two years, I finally see you again!"
"... Master Huo." Lou Qianxue said calmly, "Long time no see."
"…" Everyone opened their eyes wide in astonishment: "Huh? Isn't that the young man who offended Master Feng? They actually know a fourth-level alchemist?"
"Moreover, it seems that the fourth-level alchemist is quite respectful to them..."
"A dignified fourth-level alchemist is so serious to a young man. Who is that young man?"
Master Feng also noticed that Master Huo and Lou Qianxue had diverted most of the attention, and his face couldn't help but look ugly: "Humph! Old man Huo, you diagnosed the Duke of Zhenguo for a month and couldn't come up with a solution. Today, you actually have the nerve to attend the Duke of Zhenguo's banquet? It's fine if you just came, but you actually degraded yourself and made friends with a few ignorant brats. You really bring shame to us fourth-level alchemists!"
Master Huo looked ashamed and annoyed and glared at Master Feng.
But, soon!
A strange light flashed across his eyes again, and he sneered, "Old Feng, you are only talking about me. Didn't you fail to cure Lord Zhenguo? And... Humph, a proud and short-sighted person like you, how can you know how powerful Miss Lou is!"
