"Of course it's about the alchemy competition. We were all worried that if you came out any later, you'd miss the competition," Gu Jianfeng remembered the main issue after being reminded.
"I don't think it's necessary for so many of you to wait here just for me to come out. Or is there something going on outside?" A hint of doubt flashed across Feng Yuqin's eyes.
"What else could it be? It's just that the news about you opening our Sword Tomb has spread far and wide. Many people have designs on you and are all gathered outside the sect waiting for you to come out." Gu Jianfeng rubbed his temples at the thought of those people waiting outside the sect.
"I've already joined the Divine Sword Sect. Why won't they give up?" Feng Yuqin didn't expect those people to be so persistent in waiting outside the sect.
"Our sect's Sword Tomb hasn't been opened for a hundred years. You came and opened it right away. This news can't be kept secret. Once they learned that you have such an ability, of course they want to snatch you to their forces," Gu Jianfeng had expected this day after Feng Yuqin entered the Sword Tomb, but he found the actual situation even more terrifying than he had imagined.
For some reason, he always felt that there was some force behind this.
"So you came here to escort me to the competition venue?" Feng Yuqin finally understood why there were so many people in her yard as soon as she came out.
"You're right, but I think now that your appearance has changed, even if you go out, those people won't recognize you as Feng Yuqin," the Grand Elder said with a smile. "It seems we don't need to escort you."
"You're thinking too simply," Gu Jianfeng said impatiently. "Unless we separate from Aqin, as long as we're together, those people will think that Aqin deliberately changed her appearance to be so beautiful."
The Grand Elder: "..."
"What should we do now?" the Third Elder asked. "How about we go separately? If we delay any longer, we might be late."
"Actually... it doesn't have to be so troublesome," Feng Yuqin glanced at them. "Just tell me the location of the competition. I'll set up a temporary teleportation formation and we can all go there together."
Gu Jianfeng and the elders' eyes widened in shock. "You can set up a teleportation formation?"
"A little," Feng Yuqin was being modest.
She had studied it when she was in the Mandala Valley.
But after she left the Mandala Valley, she had forgotten about it.
It was mainly because Mo Xuanye was so talented in formations and teleportation formations that she always forgot that she could set up a teleportation formation.
As time passed, she simply gave up learning about teleportation formations.
But when this skill was really needed, she had no problem with it.
If these people knew what Feng Yuqin was really thinking, they would probably vomit blood.
Feng Yuqin had quite a talent for formations. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to study out a teleportation formation back then.
It was just that Mo Xuanye overshadowed her formation skills.
Gu Jianfeng now had full faith in Feng Yuqin's words.
Since she said she could set up a temporary teleportation formation, he immediately took out all the materials needed.
Feng Yuqin took them without hesitation and started setting up the formation.
She moved so fast that before the others could react, she had already set up half of the formation.
Everyone: "..."
In less than half a cup of tea time, the temporary teleportation formation was completed.
"Who among you is going to the alchemy competition venue?" Feng Yuqin stood in the formation after it was set up and looked at Gu Jianfeng and the others.
This question finally pulled them out of their shock.
"Aqin, you must be a monster," Gu Jianfeng blurted out as soon as he came to his senses.
Feng Yuqin: "..."
"I'm going," the Grand Elder stepped into the formation.
Hearing this, Gu Jianfeng followed closely.
Then came the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder.
With the temporary teleportation formation, the remaining elders could stay in the sect.
This competition was for the ranking of the alchemy lists of various forces.
The Divine Sword Sect mainly focused on martial arts cultivation and weapon refining, so Feng Yuqin was the only one who could represent the sect in the competition.
The elders were actually very excited and hoped that Feng Yuqin could get a good ranking this time.
As a sect-level alchemist, her ranking definitely wouldn't be too bad.
What they didn't know was that Feng Yuqin was no longer a sect-level alchemist, but a spiritual-level alchemist.
...
When they stepped out of the teleportation formation again, the five of them had already arrived outside the square where the alchemy competition was held.
Gu Jianfeng and the others felt as if they were in a dream.
Thanks to the temporary teleportation formation, although they had almost run out of time, they now had almost an incense stick's worth of extra time.
Gu Jianfeng and the others couldn't help but sigh that Feng Yuqin was truly a treasure.
It was a blessing for their sect to have someone like Feng Yuqin.
"Participants in the competition have a special passage," Gu Jianfeng took out a jade pendant and handed it to her. "This is your jade token. Take it and go through this passage to reach the hall where the competing alchemists are."
Many alchemists from the Xuan Yu Realm had come to participate in this competition.
So there were already quite a few people gathered in the competition hall at the moment.
As Feng Yuqin walked in, there were groups of people on the way.
These people had casually glanced at Feng Yuqin at first.
But when they saw her face, they were stunned.
Feng Yuqin's fair and jade-like face was delicate and perfect without any makeup.
A simple plain white dress would probably make others look poor and pitiful.
But on her, it looked especially elegant and free-spirited. Her whole person exuded an otherworldly aura!
When Feng Yuqin walked into the hall, the others only then realized that they had followed her all the way in.
"Mrs. Mo?" Although Han Luosu wasn't an alchemist, he was in charge of maintaining order.
He never expected to meet Feng Yuqin here.
"Hello, Young Master Han," Feng Yuqin nodded in greeting.
Han Luosu didn't expect Feng Yuqin to still remember him. He immediately asked about Xiaolinger. "Mrs. Mo, are you also here to participate in the competition? Is Xiaolinger here to watch the competition?"
Xiaolinger didn't expect Han Luosu to ask about her.
"It's a pity I can't go out now," Xiaolinger propped her chin up and looked at Han Luosu outside the space boredly.
Not far away, Song Nanxu's eyes widened suddenly when she heard the name Xiaolinger. A look of hatred instantly appeared on her face.
"Nanxu, what's wrong with you?" a woman beside Song Nanxu saw her change of expression and asked in confusion.
"I've seen my enemy," Song Nanxu said viciously.
That's right. In Song Nanxu's eyes, anyone related to Xiaolinger was her enemy.
If she hadn't met Xiaolinger back then, how could her relationship with Han Luosu have ended up like this?
The Han and Song families used to be family friends, but now the relationship between the two families was not as good as before.
It was all because of Xiaolinger.
If Xiaolinger hadn't appeared, why would she have wanted to take revenge and revealed Xiaolinger's information to Lu Zian?
If Lu Zian didn't know, how could he have had the chance to set a trap for Han Luosu?
What she couldn't accept the most was that Han Luosu was such a wise person usually.
So she never thought that Han Luosu would fall for it.
But he did.
How could she bear this?
Now that she knew this woman was Xiaolinger's mother, the debt of her daughter could also be counted on the parents.
Thinking like this, Song Nanxu had already started thinking about a revenge plan in her heart.
"Cousin, do you know each other?" Cai Jiale was also shocked when she saw Feng Yuqin's face.
