Chapter 62: Came knocking on the door

  "Do you know Penglai Fairy Island?"

  In the backyard of Mingyue Pavilion, Qin Luoyi sat in the pavilion, propping up her chin and asking Jian Yuyan who was facing her.

  Jian Yu Yan raised an eyebrow, put down the teacup in her hand, and gazed at her with eyes as black as ink. She said softly, "Penglai Fairy Island... why did you suddenly think of asking about this?"

  Today, Qin Luo wore a pale blue muslin dress with embroidered sea peach flowers that shone like clouds and mist, making her look delicate and refreshing.

  "Don't bother about anything else, just tell me if you know or not!" Qin Luo Yi blinked her phoenix eyes, urging him.

  Jian Yu Yan smiled slightly: "I've heard people mention it before."

  "What kind of place is it? Tell me quickly!" Qin Luo Yi was overjoyed, unknowingly leaning in closer, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

  The faint scent wafting from the tip of her nose made Jian Yu's heart skip a beat, his pulse quickening as he felt his mind wander.

  She swallowed hard and calmly said, "I'm not very clear either, I just occasionally heard the elders in my clan mention it... Penglai Fairy Island is far from the Holy Dragon Continent, deep in the ocean... The spiritual energy there is abundant, making it a paradise for cultivation, but there are also many ferocious beasts, and if one isn't careful, their life will be in danger..."

  "Has anyone from your family ever been to Penglai Fairy Island?" Qin Luo's eyes lit up, her bright black pupils staring at him without blinking.

  Too good!

  If someone from the Jian family has been to Penglai Fairy Island, she might be able to find people on the island through them... and then think of a way to join a sect! In that case... her engagement with Chu Yixiu would also be easily resolved!

  As for the person Chu Yifeng found... she didn't trust him at all! In her opinion, Chu Yifeng probably just wanted to casually find someone and pretend to be a fairy from Penglai Island, just wanting to deceive the Emperor and Chu Yixiu.

  Different paths, no common goal!

  She wants to continue her studies and is not ready to marry him in two years!

  Jian Yu Yan shook his head and smiled: "That's not it! Without a great opportunity, you can't get to the Penglai Fairy Island."

  Qin's eyes dimmed, and he looked lost. He let out a long sigh: "How could this be? That Penglai Fairy Island is too mysterious! Such a great opportunity... Since there are legends about Penglai Fairy Island on the Holy Dragon Continent, someone must have gone there before?"

  Jian Yu Yan nodded: "Yes, but you can count them on one hand!"

  Qin Luo's clothes moved slightly in her heart, just about to ask him, they all knew which person had been there, Yi Gu Yun walked in from outside.

  "Master, Miss Shangguan from the Divine Doctor Valley has arrived!"

  Jian Yu's smile faded, and he slightly furrowed his brow: "Shangguan young lady... what is she doing here?"

  "What, you don't welcome me?" As she spoke, a slender and elegant figure walked in, with beautiful eyes looking around, and a faint smile on her red lips that was both stunningly beautiful yet arrogant.

  "Miss Shangguan is laughing." Jian Yuyan stood up, with a smile on his handsome face, and a warm expression that was slightly distant: "I don't know what Miss wants to see me for?"

  Shangguan Qiuyu looked at him like this and gritted her teeth secretly.

  Thinking of her, Guan Qiurong, as the only daughter of the renowned divine doctor of Chu State, Gu Gu Zhu, was exceptionally outstanding in both cultivation and alchemy. Wherever she went, wasn't she surrounded by people like a moon surrounded by stars?

  This man always had this lukewarm attitude whenever he saw her... the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, yet the smile on her face grew even brighter.

  "I heard that for the past two months, a considerable number of 7th-grade elixirs have been produced in Mingyue Pavilion every month, causing a sensation on the Sacred Dragon Continent... Autumn Rain came today, and she's very curious, wondering who is the extraordinary person refining elixirs for Mingyue Pavilion?"

  A month's worth of Seventh-Order Dan medicine!

  On the continent of Holy Dragon, this is an astronomical figure!

  She was initially skeptical when she heard the news, but after inquiring about it clearly, she had no choice but to believe!

  The Seventh-Order Dan Medicine was her father, the master of the Valley of Divine Physicians, the highest seventh-order alchemist on the Sacred Dragon Continent, with an extremely low success rate. If he could refine one furnace in a year, it would be considered lucky!

  Jian Yu Yan's face remained calm, but the corner of his eye quickly glanced at Qin Luo Yi. He found that she was facing away from them, slowly sipping tea and showing no intention of standing up.

  A fleeting smile crossed her eyes: "Miss Shangguan, Mingyue Pavilion is just an agent for others, and without permission, I'm not allowed to reveal her identity..."

  Shangguan Qiuyu's smile on his face stiffened for a moment, and he didn't expect Jian Yuyan to refuse so bluntly.

  "Could it be the Dust Settling Palace?"

  She didn't give up and continued to ask.

  Jian Yu Yan smiled but didn't speak.

  Shangguan Qiuyu's expression turned cold, the smile on her face disappearing, and she let out a cold snort. She shifted her gaze away from him and looked to the side, only then noticing that beside her was a slender figure in shallow blue clothes, with their back to her, treating her as if she were nothing, calmly drinking tea.

  Furious in his heart.

  Jian Yu Yan didn't even put her in his eyes, that was the young master of the Jian family, a descendant of the Xuanling world. His cultivation was higher than hers, and his symbol-making talent was rare in thousands of years! He was truly a proud son of heaven, and also the future young master of the Jian family who had already been predetermined!

  But this woman... Not only does she have no spiritual power, but she hasn't even reached the middle stage of body refinement. She actually dares to look down on her! Treats her as if she's nothing!

  A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

  He raised his chin, took two steps forward, and walked proudly in front of her, sizing her up: "Is this young lady also from Mingyue Pavilion?"

  Qin Luoyi finally lifted her head and nodded at her: "Miss Shangguan." Her expression was calm.

  "It's you!" The expression on Shangguan Qiuyu's face changed.

  No wonder she always felt that this back figure was somewhat familiar, it turned out to be Qin Luoyi!

  Thinking of her brother-in-law getting married to this woman two months later... her heart was violently aching, with flames of resentment bursting in her eyes.

  That night in the Imperial Garden, when she saw her true face for a moment, she did not ignore the astonishment and surprise in Xiu Ge's eyes... Such eyes, even when they first met in Shen Yi Valley five years ago, she was proud of her beauty, but had never seen it in his eyes!

  After a good while, she finally controlled the excitement in her heart and looked at Jian Yuyan again, then at Qin Luoyi, sneeringly smiling: "So it turns out that Princess Anping and Young Master Jian are actually old acquaintances... Princess Anping's decade-old illness on her face suddenly got better... It seems that Young Master Jian's merits are not to be ignored!"

  Qin Luoyi glanced at her with a faint smile on his absolutely beautiful face, and did not deny it.

  Yi Gu's heart was shocked.

  Qin young lady is actually Princess Anping?

  The famous ugly woman of Chu country plus waste?

  How is this possible!

  In her body, although there is no spiritual power, she can refine the seventh-grade elixir! How could it be a waste? It's almost like saying she's a genius!

  Ugly girl?

  Qin's beauty... He Yiguyun has also lived for twenty years, and he has seen many beauties, but he has never seen a woman more beautiful than Qin!

  It's the Shangguan young lady right in front of him, known as the number one beauty of the Great Chu State, but in his eyes, she doesn't even compare to half of Qin'niang.

  Jian Yu Yan pursed her thin lips, her expression somewhat complex as she gazed intently at Qin Luo Yi's bright and lovely face.

  Her identity was guessed a few points when I first knew her name, and there were still a few points of luck in my heart... This Luoyi is not that Luoyi!

  One is an absolute beauty with incredibly frightening alchemy skills... the other is a famous ugly girl from Chu country, and is about to become the Crown Prince's concubine! These are two people who have nothing in common.

  But today, that last bit of luck was also shattered!

  "Miss Shangguan, you're wrong. Qin's old illness was not helped by Jian at all." Rumor has it that the face of Princess Anping was cured by a mysterious recluse.

  Shangguan Qiuyu's eyes sparkled: "Could it be that you're a senior alchemist from the Mingyue Pavilion?" An unusually scorching gaze fell on Qin Luoyi's face.

  Qin Luo took a sip of the clear tea in his hand and remained noncommittal.

  Digression

  Thank you, a big hug and kiss to Aping66, muah!
