Feng Yuqin let out a soft chuckle. "It's nothing much. I just went to take an assessment."
"Did you do nothing else?" Dongfang Zhi clearly didn't quite believe her words. Pointing outside with his finger, he said, "Then why do I feel like there are more and more people outside? And I bet they're all coming for you."
Dongfang Zhi's strength was a bit higher than that of Yan Xiao and the others. Although his perception wasn't as sharp as Xiaoying's, he could still sense quite a few people outside with his spiritual sense. Moreover, there were also many people outside the inn coming in this direction.
He had a premonition that all these people were coming for Feng Yuqin.
The corner of Feng Yuqin's mouth twitched slightly. She didn't intend to hide it anymore and simply said, "That's exactly what I want."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Yan Xiao asked, "Aqin, do you have some plan?"
Feng Yuqin nodded. "When I took the assessment at the Alchemist Guild today, many people saw that the quality of the pills I refined reached ten out of ten. And this is exactly the effect I wanted everyone to see."
Although she didn't want to waste medicinal materials, if her life was at stake, wasting some medicinal materials was a minor matter.
"Isn't this a bit too risky?" Dongfang Zhi frowned and asked. He certainly knew that Feng Yuqin's pills were of extremely high quality, but being so high - profile from the start might attract the attention of some ill - intentioned people, which could lead to trouble.
"So when I go out later, you all stay inside." Feng Yuqin said. "Even if some people want to cause trouble for me, I have ways to protect myself, but you don't."
"Are you trying to distance yourself from us and take the danger on your own?" Yan Xiao asked anxiously.
"I don't agree with you facing this alone." Yan Geng also stepped forward and said.
"I don't agree either." Meng Xingyu and Ye Ying said simultaneously.
"I don't know what your plan is, but with so many forces vying for you, one wrong move could lead to disaster." Dongfang Zhi also showed a disapproving look.
"Since I've done this, I must have my plan. You don't need to worry about me. The best help you can give me is to protect yourselves well. My Dark Night Pavilion is still waiting for you to contribute." Feng Yuqin said.
Hearing this, Dongfang Zhi suddenly laughed. Looking at the others, he said, "Why do I feel like we've become a burden to Aqin?"
Yan Xiao and the others had the same feeling.
This also made them realize that if they wanted to fight side by side with Feng Yuqin, they must improve their own strength. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have the ability to stand beside her.
In fact, Yan Xiao and the others knew better that Dongfang Zhi wasn't a burden. They four were the ones who were.
After all, Dongfang Zhi was quite powerful. If it weren't for them, Feng Yuqin definitely wouldn't have told Dongfang Zhi to stay away.
Feng Yuqin saw what they were thinking and said with a smile, "You're all excellent. It's just that the spiritual energy in the Western Song Kingdom was not abundant before. Now that we're here, I believe it won't be long before you can surpass your peers in the Central Region."
Feng Yuqin wasn't lying. Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to let Yan Xiao and the others come to the Central Region.
In the Central Region, if one's strength was weak, they would soon be devoured without a trace.
Now that they had Dongfang Zhi to protect them, she was actually very grateful to Dongfang Zhi in her heart.
Otherwise, after she entered the Alchemist Guild, leaving Yan Xiao and the others outside, she would always be worried about whether something had happened to them.
"Aqin, don't worry. We'll work hard." Yan Xiao said.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "I'll go out to deal with these people later. You should find an opportunity to leave from the back."
The reason she came back was that she had estimated that such things would happen later.
If she didn't come back to tell them these things and tell them not to act rashly, she was worried that these people would do something dangerous for her safety.
Now that they all knew her plan, she knew that Dongfang Zhi would take them on missions and work hard to improve their strength.
In this way, she could do her own things without any worries.
While Dongfang Zhi and the others hid themselves, Feng Yuqin also opened the door.
The people outside were discussing whether to force their way in because there was no movement inside. Just then, they heard the sound of the door opening.
Everyone looked at Feng Yuqin in unison. When they saw Feng Yuqin's extremely beautiful face, they were all stunned.
They had heard that there was a very powerful alchemist who was only fifteen or sixteen years old and had refined pills of ten - out - of - ten quality.
Moreover, she had passed the assessment of the Alchemist Guild.
Hearing such rumors, no matter what, they planned to try to recruit her first.
But they didn't expect Feng Yuqin to be so beautiful.
Generally speaking, very beautiful women were often regarded as vases.
So now, after seeing Feng Yuqin, many people also defined her as a vase.
However, all the people who came here were arranged by their respective forces to recruit Feng Yuqin.
"Miss Feng, I'm the third elder of the Wang family. Our Wang family welcomes you to become the alchemist elder of our family."
"Miss Feng, our Liu family welcomes you. Our family head said that as long as you can refine pills of ten - out - of - ten quality, you'll receive the honorary reward of our family." As soon as the people from the Liu family said this, everyone was shocked.
The Liu family had an honorary reward, and the things inside were all very rare treasures.
They didn't expect the Liu family to be so generous.
Seeing this, the others began to scramble.
Seeing more and more people and the entire corridor being crowded, Feng Yuqin slowly said, "Sorry, everyone. I've already joined the Alchemist Guild and currently have no intention of joining other forces."
"Feng Yuqin, don't be ungrateful." A person from one of the forces glared angrily at Feng Yuqin and said.
The people from the Wang and Liu families also looked rather unhappy.
They didn't expect Feng Yuqin to reject them so firmly.
"These people are the ones who are ungrateful." Xiaoying cursed angrily in the space.
"Right. Let's record all these people. When our master arrives at the Alchemist Guild tomorrow and we confirm her safety, we'll come out and take revenge on these people." Xiaojin said.
Xiaoying nodded. "Right. And also those who insulted our master at the Alchemist Guild today."
Hearing what they said, the corner of Feng Yuqin's mouth twitched.
She herself was a person who always avenged any slight. She didn't expect that the two spiritual pets she had contracted were also of this kind.
Feng Yuqin glanced at these people indifferently and said, "You all want me to join your forces just for the pills in my hands. I can sell them to you."
No one expected Feng Yuqin to say such a thing. They were all slightly stunned.
Then someone reacted and said, "Feng Yuqin, are you joking? With so many of us, do you know how many pills we need?"
"I don't know how many, but I can guarantee that I can provide enough pills for all the forces that have come to find me today." Feng Yuqin said confidently.
