Chapter: 719 (1/2)

AST 719 – Medicine Sect, Yuan Su’s worries, A Transient Guest

“Chen`er, get ready, we’re going back to Green Cloud Continent in a few days.” Qing Shui was holding Di Chen’s hand in front of the window when he said that. After seeing Di Chen and rubbing their heads together, the two managed to ease down each other’s concerns. Before this, he even felt the urge to ‘swallow’ Di Chen down.

This place was different from Ice Cold City. Here, the room would be really brightly lit by the sun after noon. In comparison, that place always had hazy weather. Qing Shui felt that this place was much better. After all, he still couldn’t get used to living under those kinds of conditions for a long period of time.

“Alright!” Di Chen nodded at Qing Shui with a smile.

“Are you feeling reluctant to leave this place?” Qing Shui could tell that Di Chen didn’t really miss this place as much. That’s why he asked her this question.

“No I won’t, as long as you don’t leave me.” Di Chen turned to the side as soon as she finished speaking. Qing Shui noticed that her earlobes were slightly pink.

“How could I bear to do that? You’re my beautiful wife.” Qing Shui grabbed her soft hand.

“Scoundrel!”

Di Chen came here with the intention to solve the issue that has been weighing heavily on her heart for a long time. Now that she managed to resolve it, even though she had finally acknowledged her father, it had still been many years since she moved out of her house, it was impossible for it to feel the same as when she was small.

On the second day, Qing Shui went to the Medical Prescription Chamber.

Only to find that Yuan Su was no longer there. However, the old man told Qing Shui that if he wanted to see her, he could go to the Alchemist Sect.

Alchemist Sect was also located in the Seven Stars City, so it would only take a while for Qing Shui to go there. After hearing the old man’s words, Qing Shui decided to go there once. The reason why Yuan Su left words for Qing Shui was because she still cared about him. She wouldn’t mind Qing Shui going to look for her.

Alchemist Sect was still a huge sect in Seven Stars Country. After Qing Shui asked around, he proceeded in the direction of Alchemist Sect. He was able to locate the Alchemist Sect merely by relying on the air temperature. Not long after, a village-like vast area came within sight.

Qing Shui could tell that this was the place where Alchemist Sect was located. Because Alchemist Sect would choose locations that were close to the mountains, lakes and forests in order to plant medicinal herbs. Additionally, it would also need to be a vast flat land.

This place was close to the border of Seven Stars City. Alchemist Sect was located in a manor not far from here. It was a manor that was around ten Li wide and everyone in it were people from Alchemist Sect.

Alchemist Sect could be considered one of the richests sect in Seven Stars Country. Furthermore, they had pretty good relations with most people. Basically, other than Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, no one would dare to pick on Alchemist Sect. Hence, the Alchemist Sect’s position in Seven Stars Country was the firmest.

There were two rows of guards in front of the main gate of the manor with at least twenty of them in each side. Past the main gate were stone steps. The manor was about ten meters above the flat land.

“Sir, who’re you looking for?”

It might have been because of Qing Shui’s appearance and aura, a middle-aged man among the guards approached him and asked him politely.

“I’m here to look for Young Lady Yuan Su.” Qing Shui smiled.

“May I know your surname?” The man looked into Qing Shui’s eyes and asked him cautiously.

“My surname is Qing!”

“Oh, Mister Qing, young lady has left instructions to take you to her in person if you came!” The man smiled politely. Qing Shui could sense that Yuan Su’s position in Alchemist Sect seemed to be especially respected.

Qing Shui was stunned yet again. He nodded his head and walked into the Alchemist Sect with the man. Deep down, he also suspected that Yuan Su must have predicted that there would be a day when he would come to meet her, Thus, she had instructed many people, such as the old man from Medical Prescription Chamber and the guards from Alchemist Sect, to take note of news about him.

The interior of Alchemist Sect was quite luxurious. This was the place where the highest ranking individuals from Alchemist Sect lived. Qing Shui could tell from the position of the buildings.

The place had mountains and waters. It was a beautiful scene. All of the things here made Qing Shui feel like he was in a market. He followed the middle-aged man, as he walked past the fake mountains and stone forests. They only came to a stop when they reached a quiet inner yard.

The buildings and brocade houses stood tall in the yard. This was a place with a brocade house. The area of Alchemist Sect was filled with faint medicinal aromas. This was also part of the reason Qing Shui managed to locate it so easily. He used his spiritual sense to sense the place with the thickest medicinal aroma.

“Mister, it’s here. Why don’t you go in yourself? The young lady left word before that you can walk in as soon as you get here.” The man left after he finished talking to Qing Shui.

Qing Shui walked into the small yard. As soon as he stepped in, a thick medicinal aroma rushed into his nose. Qing Shui knew that these were the aromas of different medicinal herbs blending together into one. When there were a lot of medicinal herbs, medicinal aromas like this would arise naturally.

Qing Shui didn’t try to be quiet, nor did he make any noise. He slowly walked toward the brocade house. Previously, Qing Shui was observing the surroundings. He could see medicinal herbs all around Alchemist Sect. However, those he managed to see were only up to a few hundred years old, at most. The things which Yuan Su gave him in the past were most likely not from here.

The door of the brocade house was left ajar. Qing Shui gently pushed it open. The first floor was yet another main hall. The main hall was filled with lots of furniture which was arranged neatly. The furniture looked really colorful too. It seemed she had no particular preference when it came to choosing color, unlike Huoyun Liu-Li who liked purple and Shi Qingzhuang who had red as her favourite color.

Qing Shui looked around. Just before he went up the stairs, he heard light footsteps coming from upstairs. The person who Qing Shui saw as he raised his head was none other than Yuan Su.

Yuan Su turned blank as soon as she saw Qing Shui. After that, she smiled: “You’re here!”

Qing Shui observed the woman who was in a light blue colored dress. She looked extraordinarily beautiful. Canghai Mingyue’s kind of beauty was more towards having a magnanimous and disdainful feeling. It was a kind of aura that repelled anyone near her. It didn’t actually feel cold, yet it made people not dare to get close to her.

Yuan Su too had a bit of this kind of aura. It just didn’t feel as unique as Canghai Mingyue’s. She possessed a kind of elegance similar to that of Hai Dongqing. She was like an ordinary person, yet she possessed a kind of aura which belonged to the strong.

“Yes, how have you been?”
