"It's nothing," Ruan Xiyan shook her head.
Fu Chishang looked at Yan Changpu and said, "President Yan, I'll be leaving now."
"Please take care, Your Excellency."
Before leaving, Fu Chishang looked at Ruan Xiyan again and said, "Perhaps we will meet again in the future." He left after saying this inexplicable sentence.
Watching his retreating figure, Ruan Xiyan thought to herself, "This person is so strange."
Her fingers caressed the peace bead her father had given her on her wrist.
Was he truly attracted by the beauty of the peace bead when he suddenly brought it up, or was it for some other reason?
"Elder Yan, who is that Young Master Fu? I see that Elder Yan holds him in particularly high regard," Ruan Xiyan asked.
"His name is Fu Chishang, and he is the sect leader of the Xue Luo Sect."
"The Snowfall Sect, one of the five top-tier powers." Ruan Xiyan was shocked. "He is actually the sect leader of the Snowfall Sect."
There are five top-tier forces on the cultivation continent: the Burning Weapon Sect, the Twilight Thunder Sect, the Snowfall Sect, the Absolute Rain Sect, and the Alchemist Guild.
"Why would he, the leader of a top-tier power, come to the Alchemist Branch?" Ruan Xiyan wondered.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be looking for help. Those who come to the Alchemist Guild for help are usually looking for alchemy skills, so wouldn't it be more convenient for him to go directly to the Alchemist Guild?
"He needs a spiritual fruit called Red Crow Fruit. This spiritual fruit has a special growing environment, and our Eastern District Alchemist Branch is the most suitable place for it to grow."
"So he came here. The Alchemist Association originally had a lot of Red Crow Fruit in reserve, but that Young Master Fu wants a lot, so we can only send people to collect some more."
Ruan Xiyan understood; so that's how it is.
“Our four regional alchemist branches are all under the Alchemist Guild. If he were just the sect leader of the Snowfall Sect, I wouldn’t need to be so respectful.”
"It's mainly because his surname is 'Fu'. It is said that a divine race lives on the higher level of the Nine Provinces Continent, and the leader of the divine race has this special surname 'Fu'."
“No one would dare to risk their life by clashing with the gods, so people from top-tier organizations all suspect that he has a connection with the gods at a higher level.”
"The Nine Provinces Continent! The Divine Race!" Ruan Xiyan couldn't hide her surprise; those races were still too distant for her at the moment.
"If they are from the God Race, why would they come to the Cultivation Continent to establish their power?" Ruan Xiyan asked, puzzled.
Just as the secular continent at a lower level is a barren and insignificant place compared to the cultivation continent.
Compared to the vast and boundless Nine Provinces Continent, the Cultivation Continent is just another barren land.
"Even among the gods, there are direct descendants and collateral branches. Perhaps that young master Fu is from a collateral branch who came to the cultivation continent on a whim and established his power."
"Of course, these are all just speculations, but even if he is a branch of the gods, he is not someone that any force on the cultivation continent can provoke."
"The other four top powers are on good terms with the Snowfall Sect, and they try to avoid provoking the Snowfall Sect if possible."
"That young master Fu is clearly interested in young friend Ruan. It wouldn't hurt to make his acquaintance."
"I appreciate Elder Yan's kindness." Ruan Xiyan smiled, surprised that Elder Yan would consider such things for her.
"Let's not talk about that Young Master Fu anymore. I've been waiting for Young Master Ruan at the Alchemist Branch for a long time. I'm almost dying of anticipation, afraid that Young Master Ruan might forget about the Alchemy Grand Gathering," Yan Changpu said with a smile.
Ruan Xiyan awkwardly touched the tip of her nose, "I was in seclusion for a while, and after I came out I was busy with some things and forgot about time."
"It's good that there was no delay." Yan Changpu said cheerfully, "Young friend Ruan must have had a hard journey."
"As an elder of our Alchemist Association, I have already prepared accommodations for you. I will take you there and then I will explain the details of the Alchemy Festival to you."
"good."
On the other side, Fu Chishang, who had left the Alchemist Branch, thought about it and still felt that something was not right.
Although he didn't get a good look at the green bead, when he saw it, he realized why the girl looked familiar.
The little girl's features resembled her older sister's by about 70-80%, and there was even a trace of her older sister's aura on that green bead.
Could it be that my elder sister knows that girl? But I've never heard my elder sister mention it.
Besides, as a goddess of the divine race, my elder sister has never been to the cultivation continent, so there's no way she would have any interaction with that little girl.
If the little girl and the older sister didn't know each other, it would be too far-fetched to say that it was all just a coincidence. He didn't believe that there could be so many coincidences in the world.
“Zi Ren,” Fu Chi Shang called out.
A bodyguard appeared beside Fu Chishang, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Your Highness."
"Go and find out about that girl's background. The more detailed her history, the better."
Zi Ren had grown up by Fu Chi Shang's side since childhood and knew his prince's temperament very well. Seeing his somewhat somber expression, he asked, "What does Your Highness suspect?"
"Zi Ren, don't you think that girl's face looks familiar?"
Zi Ren recalled the Ruan Xiyan he had seen in the shadows, "That girl's appearance was absolutely stunning, and her aura was also extraordinary. She seemed to bear some resemblance to Her Highness the Goddess."
After Zi Ren finished speaking, he belatedly realized and said, "Does Your Highness think that young girl has a relationship with Her Highness the Goddess?!"
What has my older sister been up to lately?
“Ever since Her Highness the Goddess returned from her tribulation, she has been in seclusion,” Zi Ren replied.
Fu Chishang's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.
After my elder sister returned from her tribulation, she seemed to have had a big argument with her hypocritical and heartless father, after which she went into seclusion.
No one except my father and older sister knew exactly what they were arguing about.
"While investigating that girl, also investigate what happened during my sister's tribulation. You investigate this matter secretly, and don't let anyone else know about it."
Without concrete evidence, everything is just his speculation.
"Yes, Your Highness." Zi Ren left.
Ruan Xiyan did not stay in the Alchemist Branch for long before following Elder Yan, who was leading the group, towards the Alchemist Headquarters.
The Alchemists' Guild is located in a medicine city at the very center of the continent.
With the grand alchemy festival approaching, alchemists of all kinds, from powerful ones to independent practitioners, flocked to this most prosperous medicine city.
This is also the city with the most alchemists on the entire continent.
The Alchemy Festival is a grand event in the alchemy world. Even alchemists who are not from the four regional alchemy branches can participate in the Alchemy Festival.
Every time a grand alchemy event is held, this medicine city is bustling with activity.
Other independent alchemists or alchemists from other forces who come to Medicine City need to find their own accommodations.
Meanwhile, the alchemist branches in the four regions of east, west, south, and north had courtyards prepared in advance by the alchemist headquarters in the city.
