Chapter 674: Extending an Olive Branch
When the dean's gaze fell upon this group of people, his expression changed slightly.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Ye Fei turned around and saw an old man in white robes scrutinizing her from head to toe.
After a long pause, the old man coughed lightly and straightened his expression: "I am the Great Elder of the Duan Clan, and you are Ye Fei?"
Ye Fei composed herself and replied, "Yes."
"I have something to say to you."
Ye Fei was puzzled. What did the elder of the reclusive family want to tell her?
Suppressing her curiosity, Ye Fei nodded to the dean and followed the Duan family's Grand Elder to a secluded corner of the hall.
After regaining his footing, the Duan Clan's Grand Elder didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "When you were in the Eight Desolate Divine Realm, I saw in the Water Mirror that you could refine pills."
Ye Fei nodded: "This junior is not talented, just a novice alchemist."
The Duan Clan's Grand Elder nodded, then turned to the young woman: "Then, let me ask you, who taught you that technique of condensing spiritual energy?"
Ye Fei narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.
When she used her spiritual energy to solidify her form, she was unaware that her every move was being monitored...
But the fact that Elder Duan asked about this must be because of the matter of spiritual energy condensation.
Ye Fei met the gaze of the Duan Clan's Grand Elder and said calmly, "It was taught to me by my master."
Although he already knew the answer, the Duan family's Grand Elder was still shocked.
"And what about your master? Where is he now?"
“My master is free-spirited and unrestrained. He went on a journey many years ago, and I don’t know where he is now.”
"..."
Seeing that the Duan Clan's Grand Elder remained silent for a long time, Ye Fei thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Grand Elder Duan Clan, have you met my master?"
"I've seen it more than once! At the alchemy competition more than a decade ago, it was your master who refined a stunning ninth-grade pill, breaking our Duan clan's undefeated record, and stealing all the glory from us!"
It would have been better if we hadn't mentioned it, because the moment this topic came up, Elder Duan would explode with rage and start cursing without a care for his image.
Ye Fei was dumbfounded. It seemed that the shadow cast by that ninth-grade pill on the Duan family was really huge.
"Ahem!" Elder Duan realized he had gone too far in anger and, fearing he might frighten Ye Fei, immediately calmed himself down, cleared his throat, and asked, "You've received your master's true teachings at such a young age, are you also planning to participate in the Alchemy Conference?"
Ye Fei said helplessly, "I am only a level three alchemist at the moment, and I still have a long way to go in terms of alchemy skills. Moreover, not only alchemy, but also my cultivation cannot be interrupted. Therefore, the Alchemy Competition is not something I am considering for the time being."
Seeing her clear eyes and her eloquent and unpretentious words, the Duan Clan's Grand Elder's impression of her improved considerably.
Although this young girl's master cast an indelible shadow over her Duan clan, it must be admitted that reaching the level of a third-level alchemist at such a young age means that her talent is far from limited to this, and she may even surpass her master.
Thinking of this, the Duan Clan's Grand Elder extended an olive branch to Ye Fei: "Girl, would you be willing to join the Duan Clan and become a Duan Clan alchemist?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei understood. This was the true purpose of the Duan Clan's Grand Elder's conversation with her: "Grand Elder Duan Clan, from your evaluation of Master just now, it's not hard to see that the Duan Clan and Master have a deep-seated grudge. As Master's only disciple, your invitation for me to join the Duan Clan will probably provoke the anger of your clansmen, won't it?"
