Su Jinyue nodded and was about to take out the jade token when she saw a middle-aged servant wearing the uniform of the Shangguan family walk in.
"Master! Elder Xu is here." The middle-aged servant reported respectfully. Elder Xu was a good friend of the master, and since Elder Xu was visiting, he naturally didn't dare to keep him waiting for long.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Shangguan immediately said, "Please come in!"
"Yes!" The middle-aged servant left the hall, and soon he came in with an old man who exuded a powerful aura.
Seeing the old man, Su Jinyue's lips curled up. She knew him; he was Elder Xu from the Alchemist Association. She had met him once, when she had just become a guest elder, but she hadn't seen him since returning from Dragon Valley. She had only met him once, so she naturally wouldn't inquire about his whereabouts.
When the old patriarch Shangguan saw the person coming, he stood up and greeted him with a big laugh, "Elder Xu! What brings you here? Have you finished your business?" He and Elder Xu have been friends for many years. Riye City and Dan City are not far away, so the two of them often get together.
A while ago, when Elder Xu came to visit him, he told him he was going out to search for some spiritual herbs and might not be back for several years. He hadn't expected him to return so soon. He had originally wanted to contact Elder Xu and ask him if Su Jinyue was a guest elder of the Alchemist Association. But thinking that Elder Xu might have gone to a secret place deep in the mountains to search for spiritual herbs, he gave up the idea. He hadn't expected Elder Xu to come by such a coincidence.
Elder Xu greeted the old patriarch Shangguan with a smile, then looked at Su Jinyue who was looking at him, "Elder Su, why are you here?" Could it be that she also had a relationship with the Shangguan family?
After hearing Elder Xu's words, Patriarch Shangguan no longer had any doubts about Su Jinyue's identity. She was indeed an elder of Dancheng, but how could Dancheng have such a young elder?
"The head of the Shangguan family invited us to be his guests." Su Jinyue said with a curled lip.
"I see. I have something to talk to you about." Elder Xu walked up to Su Jinyue and handed her a spiritual herb. "Take a look. Is this Purple-Leafed Ice Flower?" The recipe Su Jinyue had given the guild master mentioned a Purple-Leafed Ice Flower, a spiritual herb no one in their guild had ever heard of. He had gone out this time specifically to search for Purple-Leafed Ice Flower. He had just passed by the Shangguan residence and had thought of coming in to reminisce with the old patriarch and tell him he was back. Unexpectedly, Su Jinyue was also there.
Su Jinyue took the spiritual herb and looked at it, then nodded, "This is Purple Leaf Ice Flower Grass."
"Elder Xu, when did Dancheng have such a young elder?" Patriarch Shangguan asked with a smile. He noticed that Elder Xu's attitude towards Su Jinyue was actually respectful. What was Su Jinyue's identity? Why did Elder Xu treat her like this?
"You don't know her identity?" Elder Xu was a little surprised. Then why did he invite Su Jinyue to visit the Shangguan family?
Patriarch Shangguan shook his head awkwardly. "To be honest with Elder Xu, I invited Elder Su to my home this time because I had some misunderstandings with her and wanted to clarify things in person."
Elder Xu nodded in understanding. "She is the alchemist Su Jinyue who used the Mu Shen grass to create the Shen Ning Dan, benefiting the entire Tianyue Continent."
"It's her." The old Shangguan clan leader was stunned! He knew about the Divine Condensation Pill, but he hadn't expected the creator to be so young. Fortunately, he hadn't done anything to Su Jinyue, otherwise, if this matter got out, their Shangguan clan would be finished. Su Jinyue's creation of the Divine Condensation Pill had benefited countless cultivators on the Tianyue Continent. How could they possibly let go of someone who had hurt Su Jinyue?
Shangguan Jinxiu sneaked out. She wanted to go see how her mother's arrangements were going. Su Jinyue, let alone being a guest elder in Dancheng, even if he was the leader of the association, would never be able to leave the Shangguan family alive if he offended her.
"Those things that happened before were all misunderstandings. Please don't take them to heart, Elder Su. I will host a banquet tonight to apologize to Elder Su." The old patriarch Shangguan looked at Su Jinyue sincerely.
"Master Shangguan, you're too polite! There's no need for a banquet. We're busy, so we won't bother you. Goodbye!" Su Jinyue said with a smile. The Shangguan family couldn't produce someone like Shangguan Jinxiu, so she wasn't a good person. She didn't want to have anything to do with them.
Zhan Yihan and the other two walked up to Su Jinyue and walked outside with her.
"Elder Su! Please wait..."
The old patriarch Shangguan wanted to keep her, but was stopped by Elder Xu, "Elder Su is just like that. If she wants to leave, you can't keep her." Looking at Su Jinyue's distant attitude, it was clear that she didn't want to have any intersection with the Shangguan family.
When Su Jinyue and the other three walked out of the hall and passed through the garden, five Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
Shangguan Jinxiu walked out with a smug look on her face, sneering at Su Jinyue and the other three. "Do you think you can get away? If you offend me, Shangguan Jinxiu, you won't be able to leave the Shangguan family even if you are the king of heaven. Go ahead, kill them."
Upon hearing this, the five Nascent Soul cultivators drew their weapons and attacked Su Jinyue and the other three.
Su Jinyue raised her hand and waved the formation flag, setting up a level six defensive formation. A level six defensive formation could hold off a Nascent Soul cultivator for five breaths, long enough for Patriarch Shangguan and Elder Xu to learn of the situation. She was certain that these five Nascent Soul cultivators were arranged by Shangguan Jinxiu, without Patriarch Shangguan's knowledge.
"Bang bang bang!" The powerful attack hit the defensive formation, making a series of loud noises.
"Kill them now," Shangguan Jinxiu said anxiously. Grandpa already knew Su Jinyue's identity, so she had to make a quick decision. As long as Su Jinyue and the other three were killed, Grandpa would be furious and helpless. Grandpa loved her so much, how could he punish her for a few outsiders?
Patriarch Shangguan was about to invite Elder Xu to the study when he heard a noise outside. He had a bad feeling and quickly sent out his spiritual sense. Seeing the scene in the garden, his face changed drastically. This was over!
Seeing the old Shangguan Patriarch rush out like lightning, Elder Xu scanned him with his divine sense and quickly followed. If anyone from the Shangguan family hurt Su Jinyue, his friendship with the old Shangguan Patriarch would be over. And from then on, the Shangguan family would be Dancheng's enemy.
"Stop!" The old patriarch Shangguan shouted angrily at the five Nascent Soul cultivators who were attacking Su Jinyue and the other three.
Upon hearing this, the five Nascent Soul cultivators immediately stopped and stepped aside.
When Shangguan Jinxiu saw the old patriarch Shangguan, she knew that something was wrong and tried to slip away immediately.
He had just taken two steps when he was restrained by a powerful spiritual sense and could no longer move.
