"Continue with alchemy."
Despite the strange atmosphere within the Alchemy Hall caused by Zheng Qi, Su Mu appeared as if nothing had happened. After collecting the pills he refined during the day, he returned to his courtyard to cultivate.
"Hmph, Sun Li, what are you so proud of? Just you wait, I, Zheng Qi, will prove my talent surpasses yours, and that Master Cang was mistaken!"
In the evening, after leaving this remark, Zheng Qi departed from the Alchemy Hall.
That night, a figure appeared outside the courtyard.
"Brother Sun, it's me, Shangguan Miao."
Su Mu welcomed Shangguan Miao into the courtyard. Shangguan Miao hesitated, then spoke, "Brother Sun, has anyone come looking for you recently?"
"No one has."
"How is that possible..." Shangguan Miao was incredulous. Among the three, Sun Li undoubtedly had the highest alchemical skill and talent. Someone had come for him and Zheng Qi both, so why not Sun Li?
"Did something happen?"
