She stared at the photo for a long, long time, her gaze lingering on Ruo Qingyan.

Her eyes held a complex expression; she could not forget the joyful look on Ruotinghan's face when she gave birth to her and Ruotinghan sensed the magical energy within her.

I can't forget the expression on Ruotinghan's face when I met him while gathering herbs in the medicinal field back then.

That was the look in her eyes that she hadn't understood before, but she understood it later.

Her later memories were not so much vague as they were selectively forgotten.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

Even after all these years, she still can't let go.

After leaving home, Ruo Qingwu drove a small car worth around 300,000 yuan slowly to the Sichuan Medicine Refining Association.

Normal spiritual practitioners would choose to go directly, but she chose to drive. Even when there was a traffic jam, she kept honking her horn the whole way without getting arrogant or impatient.

Once the car windows are closed, I ignore everything outside.

My favorite songs are playing in the car, and I'm humming along absentmindedly to the rhythm. I'm listening to love songs, but I don't want to talk about love.

After leaving the Ruo family, she cried for a month and began to refine medicine under her mother's guidance.

At first, she always asked her mother:

"Mom, if I do a good job of making medicine, will Dad come to take me back?"

Her mother would always smile and pat her head.

Yes, it will.

Later she said:

"I will make him regret it."

This is the life she wants: living in the world, yet detached from it.

Therefore, she cannot be in a relationship, no matter who it is, because it would disrupt the life she has worked so hard for and fought for over the years.

Men will only become obstacles for her.

To put it bluntly, it's just that there's nothing I like...

In this world, everyone is just an ordinary person. She also dislikes the world of spirit masters, and as for the world of alchemy, there are few people her age who are stronger than her.

So, being alone is fine.

She never believed that a woman's life must have a partner to be perfect.

She has more important things to do.

Bang--

But before that, she needs to deal with that idiot who rear-ended her...

I got out of the car and took a look; there was another luxury car behind me!

Two men got out of the car, and Ruo Qingwu said without any politeness:

"Do you even know how to drive? You managed to hit me even though I'm parked here!"

"Oh, she's a pretty young spirit master!"

The man in the passenger seat said with a smile, while the man in the driver's seat chuckled:

"I told you, she's a beauty!"

If Qingwu heard this, she would know it was clearly intentional.

No wonder I was honking so frequently earlier; it was this guy driving alongside me like crazy, rolling down his window and honking his horn incessantly.

Moreover, the other party is also a spiritual master.

She hates spiritualists, especially spiritualists like this.

"Hey beautiful, can I have your WeChat? I'll take you for a ride in a Lamborghini."

Ruo Qingwu glanced at the man who reeked of money:

"I don't have time to waste with your nonsense."

Speaking of money, Ruo Qingwu is certainly not short of money; her mother is an alchemist, and so is she herself.

He dialed the traffic enforcement team's number in front of him, then went back to his car, closed the door, and continued waiting.

The two men exchanged a glance:

"Wow, you've got some backbone."

"I like it this way, haha."

"If Young Master Long wants it, then he can definitely get it."

The two men were all smiles throughout, taking full responsibility for what they should, and even offered to compensate Ruo Qingwu for emotional distress.

If Qingwu doesn't drive away directly, she can see from the rearview mirror that the car is following her.

"Why does it look like a fly?!"

Ruo Qingwu frowned, quickly weaving through the traffic, stopping at a traffic light, and leaving them behind.

"snort..."

Ruo Qingwu hummed softly through her nose, then listened to the song with contentment.

But to her surprise, upon entering the otherworld of the Chuandu Alchemy Association...

"Hey! Beautiful lady! You're here too! What a coincidence!"

Although Ruo Qingwu had put on a mask, she hadn't changed her shoes and pants, and was recognized at a glance.

"Great driving! You outmaneuvered my 30 million car with only 300,000 yuan! Impressive!"

"You guys were following me?"

Ruo Qingwu looked at them with sharp eyes.

"Huh? Weren't we here first? Weren't you the beautiful lady who was following us?"

The man next to him, who looked like a lackey, chuckled sarcastically.

Another man smiled and extended his hand:

"Beautiful lady, let me introduce myself first. I am Long Tianxing, 25 years old, and a fifth-level alchemist. I would like to make friends with you."

He looked at Ruo Qingwu with a confident expression.

He believed that once he revealed his name, the woman's attitude would change, and she would definitely recognize him.

Of course, Qingwu would recognize it.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that almost everyone in the alchemy world recognizes it; it's just that Ruo Qingwu didn't recognize it.

The Long family of Chuandu is a well-known family in the Chuandu Association rankings, specializing in alchemy.

The president of this alchemy association is a member of the Long family!

"Since you've come here, you must also be an alchemist. Are you here to register for the alchemy competition in a few days?"

"I can tell you a secret: there will be a collaborative project. If the two of us join forces, we'll be absolutely invincible. If you're willing, I can give you the championship in the finals as a gift."

"What do you think, young lady?"

Long Tianxing's sincerity has been fully demonstrated.

The people around immediately started watching the spectacle:

"Oh my, Young Master Long is participating this time too?"

"Isn't that woman Qingqing, who just advanced to the fifth-level alchemist a few days ago?"

"With people of all ages participating, it's an absolute game-changer! His prescription will definitely amaze everyone and overwhelm all competitors!"
