Qin Yichen had a conflict with the Huyuan Family!
This made everyone’s hearts sink.
However, Huyuan Liquan’s attitude seemed to suggest he was yielding to Qin Yichen!?
What kind of existence was the Huyuan Family? They were the true overlords of the Northern Region. In the Northern Region, even the Zhao Family could not make the Huyuan Family bow their heads. Let alone Qin Yichen.
After all, Qin Yichen had only left the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty for Central Province not long ago. Even if his talent was extraordinary, how could he already make the Huyuan Family fear him?
Lu Heze and the others could not figure it out no matter how hard they tried.
“In a large Family, there are bound to be all sorts of people…” Huyuan Liquan wore a faint bitter smile, then walked toward Old Patriarch Qin Baihe and handed over a jade box, “This is a small gift the Huyuan Family had specially prepared for the Old Patriarch. I hope you can accept it.”
Huyuan Liquan opened the jade box. Inside lay a jade pendant.
This was different from ordinary jade pendants. It was completely red with clear patterns. Just opening it made everyone around feel refreshed.
Clearly, this was no ordinary jade.
“This is a Scarlet Flame Jade!” Lu Heshang exclaimed, his pupils dilating.
Obviously, this Scarlet Flame Jade was no ordinary item.
“This Fellow Brother has good eyes. This is indeed a Scarlet Flame Jade.” Huyuan Liquan nodded, then explained to the bewildered Qin Haoran and Qin Baihe, “Scarlet Flame Jades are perfect for the elderly to wear. It can calm the mind and prolong one’s life…”
“I remember at an auction in Central Province, a Scarlet Flame Jade was sold for 160,000 silver coins, and its quality was not even as good as this one…” Lu Heshang could not contain his shock.
“To think such a treasure exists…” Hearing this, the Old Patriarch became even more hesitant to accept it.
Although the Scarlet Flame Jade was very tempting to him, he also understood this was not something he could easily accept.
However, wearing something worth hundreds of thousands of silver coins would definitely be a status symbol, and show how his Family has risen.
“Old Patriarch, please accept it.” Lu Heze stepped forward to persuade him. He was not speaking for Huyuan Liquan, but was actually thinking of Qin Yichen’s own personal interests.
Although he did not know why the Huyuan Family would do this, if they did not accept it, it would mean refusing to reconcile with the Huyuan Family.
The An Family alone was already making the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty struggle to breathe. If they added the Huyuan Family…
Accepting would only benefit both Qin Yichen and Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, with no harm.
After Lu Heze spoke, Qin Haoran also added a few words of persuasion, and the Old Patriarch finally accepted the Scarlet Flame Jade.
Immediately, his old face beamed with joy.
Wearing such a luxury item worth hundreds of thousands of silver coins would have been unimaginable to him before. His old friends were already very envious of him now. If he went out wearing this thing, would those old friends of his not turn red with envy?
Old Patriarch Qin was still a little vain. Otherwise, he would not have insisted on having guards at the door even when the Qin Family was so down on their luck.
That had been no small expense for the Qin Family at that time.
Accepting the Scarlet Flame Jade meant accepting everything else as well.
It was only then did Huyuan Liquan breathe a sigh of relief, his smile obviously growing deeper.
Sure enough, Old Patriarch Qin was the breakthrough point.
This was information that the Huyuan Family had gathered through various channels in the Heavenly Unicorn City.
Afterward, everyone sat down together.
Huyuan Liquan refused to sit in the main seat, requesting Old Patriarch Qin to take it, while everyone else sat at the sides.
“I wonder how my Son offended Brother Huyuan’s Family?” Qin Haoran had been uneasy, and as soon as he sat down, he asked.
“Actually, it was just rivalry between youths…” Huyuan Liquan did not hide anything and explained everything about Huyuan Songqing’s situation.
Everyone finally understood what had happened.
This matter was not particularly big nor was it small. It mainly depended on the attitude of the Huyuan Family or Qin Yichen.
The Huyuan Family’s side was clearly willing to yield.
But Qin Yichen’s attitude remained unknown.
Lu Heze and the others finally fully understood Huyuan Liquan’s intentions. He simply wanted them to put in some good words with Qin Yichen.
Immediately, they all set their worried hearts at ease.
However, Lu Heze, Qin Haoran, and the others still had many questions they wanted to ask.
For instance, about Qin Yichen’s current situation. What kind of achievement had Qin Yichen attained to make the Huyuan Family bow their heads?
“That child of mine just knows how to cause trouble outside. I apologize for making Brother Huyuan feel so troubled…” Qin Haoran politely said.
“Brother Haoran, you shouldn’t say that. Grandmaster Qin’s achievements make us all ashamed.” Seeing their expectant looks, Huyuan Liquan naturally knew what they wanted to know, so he said, “Have you all heard of the Alchemy World Summit?”
“Alchemy World Summit?” Lu Heze drew in a sharp breath and blurted out, “Could it be that Qin Yichen actually represented the Northern Region Alchemy Tower at the summit!?”
Of course he knew about the Alchemy World Summit and understood what it represented. Anyone who could attend the summit would definitely become an Elder or higher in the Alchemy Tower in the future.
If this was the case, it would explain the Huyuan Family’s current attitude. After all, Qin Yichen was only in his teens and could already attend the summit. In the future, it was possible he could even become an Alchemy Tower Deacon.
However, Lu Heze did not know that he had only guessed the surface of the iceberg.
“Grandmaster Qin didn’t just attend the summit, he also won three first place in all three segments of the summit…” Speaking of this, Huyuan Liquan also sighed.
If Qin Yichen’s future achievement was just to become an Alchemy Tower Deacon, the Huyuan Family would not need to act like this. After all, even within the Alchemy Tower, the Huyuan Family still had some influence.
But now, Qin Yichen had not only won unprecedented honor for the Northern Region Alchemy Tower, but he had also become a Guest Officer of Alchemy Peak.
This meant that Qin Yichen influence and potential would definitely not stop in the Northern Region!
This continent was vast, this world was wide, and the Northern Region was just a drop in the ocean of this boundless world.
While Lu Heze and others were so shocked they stood up, Huyuan Liquan’s next words nearly made their hearts explode, “Grandmaster Qin is now a Guest Officer of Alchemy Peak.”
Huyuan Liquan did not hide anything because he knew this news would soon reach Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.
“What? Guest Officer of Alchemy Peak!?” Even with Lu Heze’s cultivation, he could not help but exclaim in shock, completely losing his composure.
The Alchemy Tower was already a supreme existence to them, and the Alchemy Peak was something they did not even dare to think about!
Yet, Qin Yichen had been invited to become a Guest Officer of the Alchemy Peak!
At this moment, Lu Heze’s feelings were indescribable.
