"I have at most two years left, I must evolve after two years," Fu Shang thought about it and said.
Two years? That should be enough ti for her to find her mother and take care of things here.
"I understand," Dugu Qianye stopped infusing Chaotic Power, patted the eggshell, and asked, "Shang, when will you be able to co out?"
"I’ll co out when it’s ti," Fu Shang finished speaking and fell back to sleep.
Dugu Qianye went to see Little Baiqiu, who was still asleep, and was chard by its round body, tiny tail, and the way its head rested on its short front paws; it looked incredibly adorable.
"Qiuqiu, how much longer will you sleep? If you don’t wake up soon, there won’t be any tasty treats left," Dugu Qianye touched its spine with her index finger and talked to it for a while. Then she took Dugu Yixuan and the others and left.
In the following days, Dugu Qianye’s main focus lay in Dugu Yixuan’s physical recovery and research in formations. Only when Dugu Yixuan’s recovery was nearly complete did Dugu Qianye leisurely erge from the Spiritual Master Association in Qing Ancient City. After strolling around the streets twice and purchasing two precious dicinal ingredients from an herb store, she finally went to the Alchemist Guild in the West Continent.
Suddenly, news of Baili Xie’s appearance in the West Continent spread.
"Are you certain that Baili Xie has appeared?" In a snowy white palace atop a tall mountain, a man sitting in a chair, toying with two iron balls, looked down at the person below and asked.
"Hall Master, Baili Xie indeed appeared. Our people saw her with their own eyes at the Spiritual Master Association, then she took a turn in the herb store before entering the Alchemist Guild," the person kneeling replied.
"Did she receive our invitation?"
"Hall Master, she should have received it. We just don’t know when she will return."
"Inform the people in Qing Ancient City to make sure to invite her to the main hall. The Divine Master’s condition cannot be delayed any longer."
"Yes, Hall Master," the person kneeling on the ground imdiately withdrew and passed down the Hall Master’s orders.
anwhile, in the Alchemist Guild of Qing Ancient City, Dugu Qianye was invited to the hall, waiting for the guild leader to co out while sipping tea.
"Hahaha, Master Baili, I apologize for making you wait, Xue is truly at fault, at fault." Even before the person entered, a voice ca from outside.
A robust figure walked in against the light, followed by a rather slender man. Dugu Qianye stood up; the speaker must be the guild leader here. Hmm, the one following him seed familiar; it was the person who had registered her for the Alchemist Guild last ti.
"Haha, Master Baili, please have a seat, please have a seat. I am Xue Zigui, the new guild leader here, and this is my apprentice, Qing Shan. We were just out on an inspection and returned late, I apologize for making you wait," Xue Zigui said apologetically.
"It is I who have disturbed you," Dugu Qianye looked at Qing Shan and didn’t expect him to have beco Xue Zigui’s apprentice; his achievents would surely be limitless from here on!
Qing Shan approached Dugu Qianye and said, "Thank you for your guidance back then."
"You did well! Follow your master diligently and learn more, and you’ll certainly achieve great things in the future," Dugu Qianye said with a smile.
"Qing Shan understands," Qing Shan said and then retreated behind Xue Zigui.
When Bei Wuchang told Xue Zigui to take Qing Shan as a disciple, he ntioned Dugu Qianye’s words. Knowing that Qing Shan had so interactions with her, he wasn’t surprised to see him thanking Dugu Qianye and asked, "What brings the master here this ti?"
"Nothing much, just using your place to wait for soone," Dugu Qianye said.
"Haha, that’s fine then. I’ll have soone prepare a courtyard for you at once. The master can stay here as long as she pleases, for as long as she wants," Xue Zigui said, delighted to hear that Dugu Qianye wished to stay, and he quickly had soone tidy up a courtyard.
"I would also trouble the president to inform them that if soone cos looking for in the next two days, tell them I am in the midst of alchemy. If people from the Divine Temple show up, tell them I won’t be done until the day after," Dugu Qianye asked another favor.
"That can be easily arranged; I’ll see to it right away," Xue Zigui readily agreed.
Dugu Qianye then settled down in the Alchemist Guild. Everyone was curious about the person who had beaten Shayan. When they had free ti, they’d wander around the courtyard where Dugu Qianye was staying, wanting to catch a glimpse of her appearance. However, apart from Qing Shan and Xue Zigui, all others were forbidden from disturbing her.
Not long after Dugu Qianye moved in, word spread, and family powers from all around started flocking to see her, but they were all turned away by the Alchemist Guild under the pretext that she was busy with alchemy. Only when the Divine Temple’s people ca were they told she would continue until the next day.
In the past two days, Dugu Qianye had been explaining so alchemy thods to Qing Shan. Upon learning that the Divine Temple was looking for her, she instructed, "If they co tomorrow morning, tell them I won’t be ready until the afternoon. If they co in the afternoon, tell them I won’t be ready until the evening, and they should go back first."
The next day, as expected, the Divine Temple’s people ca again. Dugu Qianye pondered for a mont when she heard the news and said, "If they co again tomorrow, bring them over to see ."
"Master, you clearly have nothing to do; why make them wait? And don’t you have an invitation? Why not go to the Divine Temple directly?" Vine Emperor asked after the ssenger left, propping up a little flower blossom.
"By doing this, I show that it is they who seek out, not that I am eager to go. It also confirms that sothing must have happened to soone in the Divine Temple. Seeing how anxious they are, it’s likely that old witch, or perhaps soone of high status there," she explained.
"Oh," the Vine Emperor pressed the little flower back to Dugu Qianye’s hand and asked further, "What if they don’t co tomorrow?"
"They will," Dugu Qianye said with a confident smile.
On the third morning, while Dugu Qianye was reading through the Array Book, Qing Shan rushed to inform her that the Divine Temple’s people had co again. This ti, Dugu Qianye allowed the individuals from the Divine Temple to be led to her courtyard.
"Master, greetings. I am Ran Wanqing, the Hall Master of the Divine Temple in Qing Ancient City," the leading person greeted Dugu Qianye with a bow.
Dugu Qianye hurriedly returned the bow and said, "I had not expected Hall Master Ran to co in person; Baili is undeserving of such an honor. If I had known it was the Hall Master, I would have co out even at the cost of abandoning the elixir I was brewing."
"The master is too kind," Hall Master Ran said with a smile, seemingly delighted with Dugu Qianye’s complint.
"May I know the reason Hall Master Ran is seeking ?" Dugu Qianye invited everyone to sit down, offered them tea, and inquired.
"Hehe, there is not much really. Hall Master Wu from the Divine Temple learned that Baili’s young master is in Qing Ancient City and wishes to invite you to the temple as a guest," Ran Wanqing straightforwardly revealed his purpose.
"Before coming to the West Continent, I did receive an invitation my martial uncle passed on to , but I have been trying to concoct a certain elixir recently without success, hence the delay," Dugu Qianye improvised an excuse.
