Ye Family Guild Hall.

This is the largest store of the Ye family in Beihuang City. Although it is not as luxurious as the Daluo Merchant Alliance, it is not small in scale and is in charge of all the Ye family's business in Beihuang City and surrounding areas.

Outside, the clouds were low, the wind was cold and the rain was cold.

Inside the clubhouse, the atmosphere was deserted and depressing.

Ye Qingcheng stood on the roof of the building, looking at the bustling Zhangjia Guild Hall in the market opposite, with a melancholy look on his face.

Ever since the Zhang family invited the alchemist from the royal capital, the Ye family guild hall has become deserted, and in recent days no one is interested.

Ye Qingcheng has been busy in the Ye Family Guild Hall these days, trying all kinds of methods, even if he continues to lower the price, the result is to no avail.

The Ye family's main business is elixirs.

The quality of elixirs is naturally the most critical factor that determines the quality of business.

Although Ye Qingcheng is talented and proficient in business, she has no cultivation skills and is unable to change the quality of the elixir.

"Miss, Miss..."

Suddenly, a servant hurried upstairs, looking panicked and panting: "It's serious, miss... our alchemist, he... he is missing."

When Ye Qingcheng heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly asked: "What's going on?"

"I don't know! After I went back yesterday, he never showed up again. I went to look for him at his residence and found that his place was empty and no one was there."

The servant said in a panic.

"Did you withhold his salary?"

Ye Qingcheng asked again.

"No! Not only was there no deduction, we also followed the lady's instructions and paid 30% more than usual. As a result..."

Before this servant finished speaking, another servant hurriedly ran up.

"Sorry, miss, our alchemist went to the Zhang family. The Zhang family gave him double the amount of offerings. He is trying to destroy our Ye family!"

The servant said extremely angrily.

When Ye Qingcheng heard this, he felt thunderous.

"Miss, you funded that alchemist when he was in poverty and helped him so much that he achieved what he is today. But now he has betrayed his trust. It's so abominable. Should we send someone to capture him now?"

The servant said angrily.

However, Ye Qingcheng smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, let him... go ahead!"

Since the Zhang family poached the alchemist, they will not let the Ye family capture him again.

And if the price is raised again, the Ye family's current limited financial resources will not be able to compete with the Zhang family, which is at its peak.

Although he knew this very well, Ye Qingcheng still couldn't help but feel heartache.

Sure enough, human nature is cold!

In addition to the pain, Ye Qingcheng felt despair.

Alchemists are the backbone of the elixir business!

The Zhang family had already been suppressed miserably, but now even the alchemist has fled, and the tall building of the Ye family is about to collapse.

Ye Qingcheng's face turned pale, his vision went dark, and he almost fell downstairs.

Fortunately, Lan Xiang quickly helped her.

"Miss, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. We have experienced such dangerous situations before. As long as you are here, everything will be fine."

Lan Xiang’s considerate guidance.

However, Ye Qingcheng still smiled bitterly. The danger this time was different from the past, and she was unable to recover.

"By the way, my uncle said he would help you, you must hold on!"

Lan Xiang continued to persuade.

But when she said this, even she didn't believe it.

It's been three days, and Su Chen hasn't even shown his face.

"Su Chen?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Ye Qingcheng's ashen eyes, but soon dimmed again, and he sighed: "Forget it, that's it! I'm tired..."

Just as Lan Xiang was helping Ye Qingcheng go downstairs, she suddenly bumped into the maid Qiu Ju. She also looked in a hurry, and she looked more anxious than the two servants just now.

"Miss, I'm already very tired. If you have anything else, we'll talk about it later."

Lan Xiang winked at Qiu Ju and said.

However, Qiu Ju, who had always been steady, shook her head in panic, took a deep breath and said, "I can't wait any longer, Master Xuan... Master Xuanyang is here!"

"Who? Master Xuanyang! Is it Master Xuanyang who serves as an elder in both the Dan Alliance and the Da Luo Shang Alliance?"

Lan Xiang said in disbelief.

Who knows that there has been such a powerful person in Beihuang City in the past hundred years?

"That's the old man. He has already entered the door and wants to see the lady by name."

Qiu Ju said eagerly.

"Why did Master Xuanyang come to our Ye Family Guild Hall? Could it be that he was also invited by the Zhang family?"

Lan Xiang thought this in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud for fear of irritating Ye Qingcheng again.

The Ye family and Master Xuanyang have no connection at all. Instead, they are alchemists invited by the Zhang family from the royal capital. They are fellow alchemists with Master Xuanyang. If the other party comes with bad intentions...

Lan Xiang no longer dared to think deeply about it.

"Qiu Ju, take good care of Master Xuanyang, I'll come right away."

Ye Qingcheng tried his best to cheer up and said.

"Miss, you are now..."

Lan Xiang was very worried about Ye Qingcheng's health. After all, she was a helpless mortal, and she had already exhausted all her energy these days.

"What's coming is coming, you can't avoid it!"

Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath before heading to the living room with Lan Xiang's support.

In the reception room, Master Xuanyang was sitting on a chair with an expressionless face.

After Qiu Ju served the tea and fruit, she didn't dare to say another word and could only stand aside and wait anxiously.

When Ye Qingcheng came in, Master Xuanyang, who had been keeping calm all this time, suddenly had a warm smile on his face, and he even stood up to greet him.

"This must be Miss Ye, right? I heard that Miss Ye took charge of the Ye Family Guild Hall at such a young age, I really admire her!"

As soon as these words came out, Lan Xiang and Qiu Ju were both shocked.

What a transcendent existence Master Xuanyang is?

Why would you be so polite to your own lady?

No, it's not just polite. Looking at the passionate face of the other party, there is also a hint of flattery.

Are you dreaming?

Although Ye Qingcheng was also surprised, after all, he had seen a lot of wind and waves, so he said calmly on the surface: "Master, you are so complimentary! You are the pride of our entire Beihuang City. Please take a seat quickly."

At this time, Lan Xiang found that after she helped Ye Qingcheng sit down, Master Xuanyang, who had been standing in front of the chair, sat down and said with a smile: "No, no, no, Miss Ye is the pride of Beihuang City. Maybe one day she will

Become the pride of the Chu Kingdom!"

How is this going?

Ye Qingcheng also felt baffled, but still asked with some anxiety: "Master personally came to visit, but I don't know why?"

Master Xuanyang has been secretly sizing up Ye Qingcheng. His mistress is indeed beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament. Even he, who is used to seeing the beauties of the royal capital, is dazzled.

Although she is a mortal who cannot cultivate, it doesn't matter at all. As long as Su Chen is here, the future of his master wife is absolutely limitless.

You still have to flatter yourself in advance.

"Oh! I heard that the Ye Family Guild Hall was in trouble recently, so I came here to help."

Master Xuanyang came back to his senses, stroked his beard and smiled.

"Is what the master said true?"

At this moment, even Ye Qingcheng couldn't calm down anymore. He stood up directly and said excitedly.

"Of course it's true, as long as Miss Ye doesn't dislike me for my low attainments in alchemy."

Master Xuanyang said in a humble tone.

Lan Xiang and Qiu Ju were shocked again.

The man in front of me is a genuine alchemy master!

He once personally refined a fourth-grade elixir.
