Fu Ling'er and Wanqi Yuan returned to the B&B. Xiao Zi Lingyou and the others had not returned yet. The two of them sat in the front hall, not saying a word, waiting for their friends to come back.

Fu Ling'er was very depressed at the moment. She seemed to be slack and was attacked by someone. If Wanqi Yuan hadn't reacted quickly today, she would have been injured. Judging from the strength and angle of the man's attack, she was definitely seriously injured.

"Ling'er, don't be angry. You have to give me a chance to show my abilities. I said I would protect you, but Ling'er has always been too independent and smart. I feel like I have no place to show my abilities. Today I was able to show my abilities once, and you're still not happy."

"I'm not unhappy. On the contrary, I'm glad to have you here today. Don't talk like that. I don't like it. Having you accompany me all the way is the happiest and most blessed thing. I just feel that I've been a little slack. I didn't realize that the enemy was so close to me. I'm a little unhappy."

"Ling'er, why would you think so? Even the King of Hell takes a nap sometimes. You have to live your life yourself, there's no need to be so tense, just live every day happily. As for the enemy, come if you want, it's not bad to have them as a whetstone for us."

"Hehe, I remember I said something similar before. Why am I still trapped in this situation now? Well, after listening to your words, my mood instantly improved." Fu Ling'er smiled, the haze in her heart was dispelled, and she relaxed.

"This time, I didn't expect that the Ghost Demon Pavilion would take action so quickly. It's only our first day here, and it seems that our whereabouts have always been under the control of others."

"It doesn't matter. If one comes, I'll kill one. If two come, I'll kill a pair. How can I be afraid of them?" Fu Ling'er stood up again, and while speaking, she couldn't help gritting her teeth at the Guisha Pavilion.

"Ling'er is right. We are not afraid of them. However, the Ghost Demon Pavilion is indeed abominable. Send a message to Lingyou and ask him to find out where the Ghost Demon Pavilion is located."

"Okay, once we find where they are staying, we will go there in the evening," Fu Ling'er has always been vengeful. She couldn't swallow this humiliation and always wanted to make up for it.

At the same time, Xuanyuan Que returned to the Xuanyuan Palace's base in Yanhe City. As soon as he came back, he summoned two close attendants.

"Young master, what do you want?" One of them asked the master respectfully. They were the close attendants who had been growing up with the master since childhood. They had been following the master and had been influenced by him. Naturally, their strength and ability were beyond doubt.

"Que Yi, Que Er, I have a mission for you. Today, a conflict occurred in front of the Alchemy Guild. I want to know the whole story. Find out as soon as possible and report it immediately."

"Yes, Master, I will go right away."

After the two of them left the room, Xuanyuan Que sat in the study waiting for news, while recalling Liu Zhiping's description of the couple.

The two attendants were very efficient. An hour later, they came back without stopping to report what they had found.

"Master, I have fulfilled my mission and have found out the truth." Que Yi looked at his master with excitement. He should have called him Master or Palace Master when he became Palace Master. However, they had been used to calling him Master since they were young and had never changed their way of addressing him.

"Oh? Tell me who is behind this."

"Master, it's the Ghost Demon Pavilion that the palace has been keeping an eye on. They are behind this. According to the news from the people who have been monitoring the Ghost Demon Pavilion, Zheng Jikun arrived in Yanhe City five days ago and moved into the Zhu family, a second-rate family in the city. After that, the Zhu family sent people to guard the major gates in the city. They seem to be looking for someone."

"Yes, the people they were looking for were the man and woman they wanted to assassinate today. No, to be exact, they wanted to kill the woman, but they were not as skilled as their opponent, so the assassination failed." Que Er continued.

"That's right. Today, the couple and their friends were targeted as soon as they entered Yanhe City. They followed them all the way, and they must have been looking for an opportunity to attack. Later, they walked to the Alchemy Guild. There were probably many people passing by at that time, so the Zhu family members suddenly had an idea and stirred up trouble. They wanted to assassinate them in the chaos, but they failed in the end."

"Who are that couple? Where do they live? What grudge do they have with the Guisha Pavilion?" Xuanyuan Que suddenly became very interested in this couple. Anyone who could be targeted by the Guisha Pavilion was definitely not a bad person. On the contrary, the woman was very likely a powerful person, otherwise Zheng Jikun would not have come here in person.

Hey, that old bastard Zheng Jikun, he had fought with him several times and knew that he was insidious and cunning. Most of the time he didn't show up, but just hid behind the scenes to stir up trouble. Like this time, he estimated that Zheng Jikun used the Zhu family as a gun and let them take the lead, also to test the depth of the woman.

Haha, he didn't expect that he would start off badly. He didn't even show his true colors, but he suffered such a big setback. Xuanyuan Que couldn't help but gloat in his heart.

However, the person that Guisha Pavilion wanted to kill, he, Xuanyuan Palace, had secured. No matter who she was, as long as he could make Guisha Pavilion suffer, he was happy to do it.

"I haven't found out anything about this. The woman and her group came into the city not long ago. They stayed in a guesthouse. I haven't found out their names yet. I'll ask them to go back..."

"No need. As long as it is the target of Guisha Pavilion, my Xuanyuan Palace will protect it. You should always pay attention to Zheng Jikun's movements. He will never stop. As long as he makes a move, destroy it for me."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

"Well, please keep a close eye on this Alchemy Competition, especially the final winner of the alchemist. I will not allow any mistakes," Xuanyuan Que suddenly said in a serious manner.

"Yes," the two answered firmly. They knew the importance of the matter and would not hold the young master back.

"Well, let's go down."

After the people left, Xuanyuan Que couldn't help feeling heavy again. Ten days ago, he went to Qianghe Town to see his ancestor, and learned from his son that the ancestor's health had deteriorated very seriously. If this continued, the ancestor might not be able to hold on for much longer.

My father was also actively looking for various elixirs to prolong the life of our ancestor. But after such a long time, there was little effect. Our ancestor was getting worse day by day.

This time, his old friend Li Siyan said that the once-in-a-decade alchemy competition was about to be held, and he also gave him an idea, which was to hold an alchemy king competition. Then he promised a huge profit and recruited the strongest alchemists in the world to see if they could find a ray of hope for the ancestor.

Xuanyuan Que agreed without hesitation and actively participated in the coordination of the Dan King Competition. His idea also received full support from the Xuanyuan family.

They just hope that the strongest alchemist who wins the championship can save their ancestor. Although the hope is slim, they still hope and expect it.

I always think to myself, what if?
