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 and 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 front of 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 in determining the quality of business.
Although Ye Qingcheng is talented and proficient in business, she has no ability 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 hurriedly 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 could finish speaking, another servant hurriedly ran up.
"Sorry, miss, our alchemist went to the Zhang family. The Zhang family gave him double the 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. 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 gave a bitter smile and waved his hand: "It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married. Let him... go ahead!"
Since the Zhang family has 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 stretched financial resources will not be able to compete with the Zhang family, which is in full swing.
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 desperate.
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 supported 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!"
Lanxiang 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?"
Lanxiang said in disbelief.
In the past hundred years, there has been such a powerful person in Beihuang City. Who knows?
"It's him, the old man, who has already entered the door and wants to see the young 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. 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 care of Master Xuanyang, I'll be here 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 sat 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, 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 you!"
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, 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 beauties in the 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.
I have to flatter myself in advance.
"Oh! I heard that the Ye Family Guild Hall is 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 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.
Who in the entire Chu Kingdom would dare to despise this old man for his low attainments in alchemy?
The most incredible thing is that it is difficult for them to meet such a master figure even if they spend a lot of money and rely on people and connections.
Now he actually came to help.
You must know that the member of the Alchemy Alliance invited by the Zhang family from the royal capital is only an alchemist, and can refine top-level second-grade elixirs at most.
He is not even close to Master Xuanyang.
Is this alchemy master short of money?
It's impossible, someone can easily refine a few fourth-grade elixirs and sell them for sky-high prices. Even if they sell the Ye family, they can't afford to support them.
"Master is willing to help, and my Ye family is naturally eager to ask for it!"
Ye Qingcheng could tell that the other party was not joking, but he still asked with some anxiety: "I don't know what master's needs are, but our Ye family will do our best to meet them."
Although I know that the other party's conditions must be very harsh, even the Ye family cannot bear it.
But for this only chance, Ye Qingcheng still tried to ask.
"Haha, Miss Ye is too polite."
Master Xuanyang quickly smiled and waved his hand: "I won't take any money this time. As long as Miss Ye remembers this favor from me, she will be satisfied!"
Lan Xiang and Qiu Ju on the side could no longer react.
Master Xuanyang's repeated astonishing moves made them feel like they had been dreaming.
Ye Qingcheng was also stunned and speechless. She still knew how much her favor was worth.
But Master Xuanyang did not explain too much. He stood up and said, "If Miss Ye has no other problems, I can start refining the elixir now and help the Ye family get back all their business."
"Of course... no problem, please, Master."
Ye Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then stood up quickly and personally led Master Xuanyang to the alchemy room.
The suppressed pain, sadness and despair in his heart disappeared in an instant, and Ye Qingcheng became energetic.
The nationally famous alchemy master!
The old man himself started to refine the elixir, which was enough to cause a sensation in the whole city in just a few moments.
It won't be long before warriors from Beihuang City and even nearby cities will swarm in to grab scalps.
How can Master Xuanyang's golden signature be matched by ordinary alchemists?
"Miss, what on earth is going on?"
When Ye Qingcheng returned to the living room, Lan Xiang and Qiu Ju came back to their senses and asked in disbelief.
Ye Qingcheng shook his head: "I don't know! But since Master Xuanyang takes the initiative to help, it is our destiny. You must treat him well and don't neglect it."
Lan Xiang and Qiu Ju nodded in agreement.
Soon, news spread that Master Xuanyang was opening an alchemy furnace in the Ye Family Guild Hall.
"Master Xuanyang is refining alchemy in the Ye Family Guild Hall? This is absolutely impossible!"
"Master Xuanyang is such a transcendent existence, how can the Ye family ask for it? They must be creating false momentum and just want to delay time."
"There's no point in delaying. The Ye family is doomed this time."
After hearing the news, everyone in the Zhang Family Guild Hall sneered.
