Chapter 110 - Knot Undone (2/2)

His words elicited disdain from every one of the members, but Yan Zaizen didn't take this heart, they couldn't even touch these types of pills let alone buy them. As for him? He had an established alchemist's centuries worth of creations. Any pill he brought out would be grand-tier!

”They'll be in the auction, but if they do come out, it'll definitely cause a bidding storm to arise! Only those at the highest level would have knowledge of items at that level, so don't ask me for the specifics.”

After another round of conversation about the auction, the first plate of food arrived. Yan Zaizen's eyes lit up as he saw a golden-fish drenched in dazzling white broth with specks of golden flakes within. It looked like food one would imagine an immortal would consume.

Seeing the food arrive, the others started having conversations, ignoring Yan Zaizen's presence and getting into their own rhythm. Yan Zaizen learned a lot from their conversations, including some juicy gossip they unintentionally spilled.

Hei, however, didn't engage in conversation. He stayed stoic and silent, his eyes sometimes flittering with caution when he looked at Yan Zaizen. Ya Qinqan was actually a lot different than what Yan Zaizen originally assumed. Before, she wasn't very talkative, only speaking short sentences or making small gestures. However, in this group of geniuses, she was comfortable enough to talk, argue and even laugh.

He just realized...the only time he saw her laugh was when he made a joke as he delivered resources. Was it real?

Probably not.

This new side of Ya Qinqan wasn't new. It was just never revealed to Yan Zaizen.

”To think...I was such a fool when I was younger. Recalling all my attempts, my average looks, and my weak strength, I truly was pathetic thinking I could buy her affection.” He thought, his eyes flickering with lights of calm and serenity. This person before him was the real Ya Qinqan, not the one he idolized and desired when he was younger.

He could feel a knot deep within his heart, hidden behind his confidence, come undone.

There was no more self-anger. No more 'what if's?'

This person was an entirely different person. So, why should he feel like she was his first love? In truth, the one he fell in love with was imaginary, a figment of his imagination created to deal with the death of his parents. The affection he imagined, the life he desired, and more. He knew that now.

Li Ruogang still had an itch she couldn't scratch whenever she looked at Yan Zaizen, even though he was handsome and had an aura about him that seemed dazzling, she felt irritated that he ignored her. She just couldn't handle it. Clenching her teeth, she made up her mind.

”You, are we supposed to just call you Mr. random person? What's your name?” This time, her voice was filled with a thundering momentum.

Yan Zaizen lightly chuckled and smiled at this girl's persistence. Was it even necessary? After today, it's unlikely they'll ever have too deep of an interaction. Yet, despite this, all the conversation around him stopped at her question. Seeing this, Yan Zaizen softly shook his head and relented.

”My name's Yan Zaizen.” His words were deliberately loud and clear in enunciation. ”Remember it well.”
