Soon, Lu Jinghuan returned to the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild.
Or maybe he had a guilty conscience, so he didn't inform the president or anyone.
Just after he came back, he quietly entered the medicine warehouse and took away all the rare medicinal materials that the mysterious strong man needed.
"Isn't this the medicinal material needed to refine the Imperial Pill?"
After getting the medicinal materials, Lu Jinghuan quickly thought of this possibility.
"Since he wants to refine it into the Emperor's Pill, doesn't it mean that his cultivation level has not yet reached the Emperor's level?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be easy to get an emperor-level expert to take action?"
Thinking of this, Lu Jinghuan slapped his thigh and immediately wrote a letter and passed it on.
…
On a wide street.
Desolate smoke walked forward aimlessly.
"I wonder where Ye Chen and An An went?"
After being released by Lu Jinghuan, she did not immediately return to the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild, naturally because she was looking for Ye Chen and the two of them.
She really wanted to ask face to face whether the mysterious strong man who swept all the warriors in Ghost Flame Mountain and took away the ghost green fire from Lu Jinghuan was Ye Chen!
Although she was already sure, she still couldn't help but want to get Ye Chen's personal answer!
"Where are you going?"
Just when she was thinking wildly, a familiar voice came from an alley not far away.
"Ye Chen?"
Huang Yan was delighted and hurriedly walked over.
In that alley, two figures were standing at the moment.
One man and one woman!
The man is tall and tall, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes are as deep as the sea.
The woman looks cute, has a slim figure, and looks a little timid in her eyes.
If not Ye Chen and An An, who are they?
"Master Huang Yan, are you okay?"
As the desolate smoke approached, An An was the first to greet it, his face full of concern.
"I'm fine!"
Huang Yan shook his head, then looked at Ye Chen who was always calm and composed, cupped his hands, and was about to say thank you.
But Ye Chen was the first to say: "I heard that the mysterious strong man who took away Guiyou Green Fire beat Lu Jinghuan so hard that he begged for mercy. Not only did he let you go, but he also apologized to you in public?"
Huang Yan's expression froze.
Isn't that you?
But she wasn't stupid. She glanced at An Xi next to her who seemed to be still in the dark, and she felt relieved again.
Maybe Ye Chen doesn’t want An Anxi to know his identity yet!
Although she was very puzzled by Ye Chen's behavior, she did not ask, but just cooperated: "Yes, someone did save me!"
"It's him again!"
An Anxi next to him said excitedly: "It seems that the mysterious strong man has indeed come to the center of the Southern Territory!"
Then, she asked suspiciously: "But what is the relationship between that mysterious strong man and Master Huangyan? Why did he save you?"
"this……"
Huang Yan glanced at Ye Chen intentionally or unintentionally, and said angrily: "Maybe that mysterious strong man is very moral and doesn't want to see an innocent person like me being wronged by that despicable guy Lu Jinghuan!"
"It seems that this is the only explanation!"
An Anxi nodded in agreement.
At this time, Ye Chen finally spoke, "Master Huang Yan, I wonder where you are going to go next?"
"Of course..."
Only halfway through his words, Huang Yan seemed to realize something and asked instead, "What about you?"
"I still have some things to deal with, and I may have to say goodbye to you!"
"Goodbye?"
Huang Yan frowned, "Didn't you say you wanted to be a guest in my house?"
"I will go, but before that, I do have some things to deal with!"
"That's it..."
A hint of sadness flashed in Luan Yan's beautiful eyes.
Obviously, Ye Chen didn't want to continue walking with her.
Even, he didn't want her to know what the other party was going to do next.
But since Ye Chen didn't want to say anything, she didn't force anyone to do anything. She smiled and said, "In that case, I'll go to Huangyan Mansion to wait for you!"
"By the way, I have a heartfelt request!"
Ye Chen pulled An An'i over, and regardless of the other's doubtful eyes, he pushed him directly in front of Huang Yan, "What I'm going to do next may be a little dangerous. Before that, I hope you can take care of this little kid."
Girl!"
"I'm not a little girl!"
An Qian immediately protested, "I am an adult now, and I have protected you!"
Seeing that Ye Chen was still unmoved, she added angrily: "And you seem to be younger than me, how dare you call me a little girl?"
No matter how angry she was, Ye Chen simply ignored her.
"Master Huang Yan, can you?"
He stared at the wild smoke and asked again.
"Yes, of course!"
Huang Yan suddenly came back to her senses. Instead of refusing, a glimmer of hope rose in her beautiful eyes, and she vowed: "Don't worry, An Xing will stay with me. Unless I die, I will protect her!"
She was also afraid that this separation would be an eternal farewell and that she would never see Ye Chen again.
Since Ye Chen entrusted An An to take care of her, it proves that he will come to see her one day.
And this is exactly what she expected!
"Thanks in advance!"
Ye Chen bowed his hands to Huang Yan.
"By the way, you and An Qi are both my friends. If you continue to be so polite, it will make me feel alienated!"
After a pause, Huang Yan added: "Can you please stop calling me master next time?"
"Isn't this bad?" Ye Chen asked subconsciously.
"You can scream, but I can't bear it!"
Huang Yan smiled bitterly, "What's more, we are so familiar, so if you just call me by my name, it will seem more cordial!"
"fair enough!"
Ye Chen nodded.
Huang Yan has mentioned this issue more than once, but he has never paid much attention to it.
Since Huang Yan reiterated it again, it would be fine if she didn't agree.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you to rest in peace. I'll take a step in advance!"
After that, he turned around and left.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
An Qian chased after me, "Where I want to go is my freedom, why should I let you make the arrangements?"
It was originally her greatest wish to follow a high-level alchemist like Master Huangyan.
However, Ye Chen actually treated her as a child, which made her mentally unbalanced.
However……
"Be obedient, I still have something very important to do. I will come find you when I'm done!"
Ye Chen turned around and comforted him.
And this remark was so serious that it just didn't make An Xi angry.
"What? Make me obey?"
"How old do you really think this girl is?"
She rushed over in a few quick steps, grabbed Ye Chen's collar with both hands, and said viciously: "Let me tell you, this girl... huh?"
The angry words were only halfway spoken when they turned into a soft moan.
Then, he fainted.
Because when she was questioning, one of Ye Chen's hands had already hit an acupuncture point on the back of her head.
When the delicate body fell limp, Ye Chen hugged it casually, then looked at Huang Yan, "Please!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Huang Yan nodded and walked over to catch the fainted An Qian.
Ye Chen did not stay, his figure flashed and disappeared deep into the alley.
A moment later, he appeared in an abandoned yard.
But at this moment, he put on his walking clothes and a skull mask.
Because this is the place he made an appointment with Lu Jinghuan!
As long as Lu Jinghuan abides by the agreement and brings the few medicinal materials he specified, he can refine the Emperor-Elixir, thus breaking through the shackles of the quasi-emperor in one fell swoop and stepping into the true emperor-level realm!
