Chapter 728: Ye Qingchengs Origin (2/2)

The madam was able to connect some dots at this moment. Until now, outsiders had always thought that Ming Yexue was the descendant of the Ming Clan — the imperial family. However, after today’s events, it appeared that she had a different origin.

“Let’s go, it is pointless to speculate these things.” Li Qiye said with a faint smile: “The alchemy conference will begin soon, so we should enter Alchemy City.”

“Well...” Tie Yi’s neck involuntarily shrank into his body after hearing this. While trying to hide, he apprehensively said: “Going to Alchemy City… might be very dangerous.”

Li Qiye glanced at him and said: “You did some immoral things that are unforgivable, so you don’t dare to enter Alchemy City, right?”

Tie Yi awkwardly smiled and said: “Young n.o.ble is misunderstanding me. This lowly one is only worried for you. As Young n.o.ble can see from earlier, the Alchemy Kingdom has people with malicious intentions towards us. Young n.o.ble’s alchemy is peerless, so maybe someone is coveting it; maybe even an ancestor wants to capture you alive.”

After hearing this, Li Qiye lifted his head and gazed towards the direction of Alchemy City while revealing a gentle smile. “I’m more afraid that the Alchemy Kingdom will not take action. If they maneuver against me, then everything will be easy. However, if they are friendly and treat me as a guest, then I would truly feel bad about taking Ming Yexue away. If they want to kill me, then it would be even better.”

The madam revealed a smiled and asked: “Young Master likes Fairy Ming?”

Li Qiye chuckled and responded: “How can this be called liking? I only want that girl to stay by my side in the future! If the Alchemy Kingdom wants to do this peacefully, then I can satisfy all of their demands. If they want it the hard way, then it will be even easier!”

“Is Fairy Ming that important to Young Master?” Madam Zi Yan was moved. At this moment, she realized that her Young Master was not in love with Ming Yexue, and that he had a different reason for wanting her to stay with him.

Li Qiye didn’t answer her question. Instead, he only looked towards the far distance while reminiscing.

After a while, Li Qiye’s mind returned. He looked at Tie Yi and said: “Whether we go to Alchemy City or not is not up to you to decide. At that time, I will need to be there to refine some medicine, so if you escape and lose this good opportunity, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

Tie Yi shuddered after this reminder. He immediately patted this chest like a drum and put on a courageous act as if he was willing to walk through fire. “Young Master, don’t worry. Wherever you go, I shall be there as well! I will definitely not embarra.s.s you!”

Li Qiye smiled and said: “Okay, don’t speak such nauseating words, do you think I don’t know what's on your mind?”

Tie Yi dryly coughed with an awkward look. Even the madam looked at Tie Yi one more time. She knew that he was a coward, at least in appearance. He clearly didn’t want to go to Alchemy City, but after listening to her Young Master, he lost all reservations. This really raised the madam's curiosity about his injury!

The group traveled towards the city with the bull pulling the carriage at great speeds. It was not long before they arrived.

Alchemy City was located in an extremely strategic location. It was the first outpost before the entrance to the Alchemy Vein and only one step away from the ancestral ground of the imperial family.

Alchemy City in the Stone Medicine World was also known as Imperial City or Alchemy Capital!

Although it was called a city, it wasn’t actually a city! In the nine worlds, when big sects form their own countries, the majority of their capitals would be very huge, ancient cities.

Alchemy City, on the other hand, had no semblance to a city. There were neither towering walls nor patrolling experts at this place despite being called Imperial City.

[spoiler t.i.tle='728 Teaser']The old woman became very dejected, but she couldn’t truly become angry. The bull’s strength far exceeded her imagination. She couldn't help but feel powerless; she didn’t even have the means to resist!

Li Qiye’s arrogance was particularly upsetting. As a great character from the kingdom, she wanted to teach him a lesson about his disrespectful att.i.tude, but she couldn’t do anything when such a powerful existence like the bull was present.

Ming Yexue slightly frowned and said: “I also came because of this. We have many experts at the kingdom, but one that can utilize such a great formation must be at the ancestor level. At this moment, whether if it’s the direct branch or the side branches, no ancestors have come into being. At least, not on record.”

Li Qiye chuckled and said: “Then go look into it. This time, I will not take action because of you, but this won’t necessarily be the case next time.”[/spoiler]
