"I'll arrange for someone to contact you about this," Feng Yuqin said. "As for the Alchemy Guild, I probably won't come back after I'm done with things in Tiancheng. I have other matters to attend to."
Although Mo Xuanye didn't say anything, Feng Yuqin knew that things in the Desolate City must be extremely difficult. She couldn't just leave everything to Mo Xuanye to handle alone.
So after she finished her business in Tiancheng, she would head to the Desolate City, which would become the headquarters of her Dark Night Pavilion.
"You're leaving?" Song Jianming was taken aback.
He knew that Feng Yuqin would surely leave one day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Even if I leave, I'll show up when the Alchemy Guild needs my help," Feng Yuqin said. "If I'm unavailable, I can arrange for my people to step in."
Hearing this, Song Jianming let out a sigh of relief.
The Alchemy Guild had actually been gradually declining.
To outsiders, it seemed enviable, but only he knew that the inside of the guild had been almost corroded by some moths.
"Let's go. First, head to Tiancheng," Feng Yuqin said.
Song Jianming nodded and then led the group to Tiancheng.
Two days later, they arrived in Tiancheng.
Song Jianming took Feng Yuqin and the others to an inn he had arranged in advance.
It was also the most famous Tiancheng Inn in Tiancheng.
However, a commotion broke out when they were dividing the rooms.
"President, she's just a guest elder. Why does she deserve a Tian - level room?" Elder Chen was immediately unhappy when he saw that Song Jianming had allocated two Tian - level rooms.
"So how do you suggest we divide them?" Song Jianming asked coldly.
Elder Chen didn't mince words and directly said, "There are three elders on our side, and Xue'er is a woman. She can't share a room with men. So, in total, we need at least three Tian - level rooms and two Di - level rooms."
Hearing this, Song Jianming's face instantly darkened. "So you mean that the five of you need five rooms?"
"We always got five rooms when we came here before. What's wrong with that?" Elder Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with his request.
After all, this inn was extremely large, with a total of eight floors.
There was an entire floor of Tian - level rooms, dozens of them.
They were only asking for five rooms, and only three of them were Tian - level. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"The past is the past, and now is now," Song Jianming said coldly. "You only get two Tian - level rooms. Each room can accommodate four people, so two rooms can hold eight people. Five of you should be more than enough. If you think it's not enough, you can pay for additional rooms yourself."
"President, what do you mean by this?" Elder Chen roared. "The inn is completely full now. Where do you expect us to book rooms?"
Song Jianming sneered. "You know it's full? Then aren't you just being unreasonable when you say that?"
Elder Chen pointed at Feng Yuqin and said, "Just ask them to give up their rooms. Then find other rooms for them. Isn't that simple?"
Feng Yuqin sneered. "Who do you think you are? Do you think you're worthy of asking me to give up my room?"
"You..." Elder Chen was about to speak when Feng Yuqin interrupted him. "What? Not convinced? You're welcome to fight me."
As she spoke, her aura changed instantly. The look of readiness frightened Elder Chen so much that he took a step back.
Feng Yuqin scoffed. "I thought you were so powerful when you were jumping up and down. I haven't even made a move yet, and you're already scared out of your wits?"
Elder Chen glared angrily at Feng Yuqin, only to hear her speak again. "If you don't have the guts, don't provoke me. The consequences are beyond what you can bear."
Elders Lin and the others looked at each other in dismay. Lin Sixue wanted to speak up for Elder Chen but was stopped by Elder Lin.
Song Jianming was too lazy to waste any more words on Elder Chen. After directly allocating the rooms, he said to Feng Yuqin, "Get some rest tonight. Report to the headquarters early tomorrow morning."
Feng Yuqin nodded, took the room key, and turned to leave.
However, as she left, her cold and indifferent beautiful eyes swept over Elders Lin and the others. "Those who want to cause me trouble, feel free to come. As long as you can bear the consequences."
Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, a hint of doubt flashed across Song Jianming's eyes.
After Feng Yuqin and her group left, Song Jianming also left.
Elder Lin and his group stared at the direction where Feng Yuqin had left, a sinister look flashing across their eyes.
"Dad, why did you stop me just now?" Lin Sixue asked dissatisfiedly.
Elder Lin looked at Lin Sixue and asked, "Can you beat her?"
Lin Sixue was at a loss for words.
"Since you can't beat her, why show off at this time?" Elder Lin's words made Elder Chen unhappy.
"Elder Lin, what do you mean? Are you saying I shouldn't have spoken up just now?" Elder Chen looked at Elder Lin and questioned.
"We shouldn't deal with her at this time," Elder Lin said calmly. "We haven't received a reply from the headquarters yet. If Feng Yuqin really gets serious, a single spiritual pet of hers can kill us in an instant."
The others also understood that this was the truth.
"Dad, you said that the people from the headquarters haven't taken action against Feng Yuqin. Don't they covet her spiritual pet?" Lin Sixue asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, a cold glint flashed across Elder Lin's eyes.
Because he also didn't know why the headquarters had never targeted Feng Yuqin even though they knew about her spiritual pet.
"Get some rest first. We'll talk about anything else tomorrow," Elder Lin said. "I'll contact the headquarters later."
...
At the same time.
Feng Yuqin also led Su Bing and the others to one of the Tian - level rooms.
"Aqin, did Elders Lin and the others do something in private?" Yan Xiao looked at Feng Yuqin and asked.
When they were leaving just now, Feng Yuqin's last words clearly had other meanings.
"Feng Yi said that Elder Lin is colluding with the people from the headquarters," Feng Yuqin said calmly.
"Master, do you mean that the people from the headquarters will cause us trouble?" Su Bing asked.
"I think it's normal for them to cause trouble, right?" Feng Yuqin said calmly. "After all, I have a deep feud with these people."
"You guys rest first. I'll go check on Nightingale," Feng Yuqin said.
Mo Xuanye had told Nightingale not to travel with them, so they and Nightingale had taken separate routes.
She was worried about Nightingale's safety, so she had sent Xiaoying to escort her.
Xiaoying was faster than them. So when she had just arrived in Tiancheng, Xiaoying had already contacted her.
When Feng Yuqin went to the address Xiaoying had given her, she found it was an abandoned courtyard.
"Master, she's in here," Xiaoying's voice sounded.
Feng Yuqin scanned the surroundings and found that it was so desolate that there wasn't even a single soul in sight.
Especially in the middle of the night, it seemed eerie.
After Xiaoying led Feng Yuqin in, they saw Nightingale sitting in a daze in the side hall next to the main hall.
Feng Yuqin frowned and looked at Xiaoying. "What's wrong with Nightingale?"
