Chapter 667: 667
Kong Xiang Yi handed over the item she was inspecting over to Ximen Feng, saying, “The ones who attacked me were the Orchid Redolence Sect and Innumerable Scarlet Cloud Sect . ”

“How did those two sects end up working together?” Ximen Feng was rather puzzled when he saw the item in her hand .
“Strange, right?” Kong Xiang Yi said, “Innumerable Scarlet Cloud Sect appears to be on good terms with our Kong Valley, but who would have known that he would have plotted against us like this behind our backs .
“Yeah . I didn’t expect that so many problems would arise for the Kong valley after news of the ore vein had been leaked . “Ximen Feng said, “Have we found out who was the one who spread the news of the ore vein?”
“We have . Father and the others have already dealt with him . ” Kong Xiang Yi said, “The fact that we have discovered that ore vein has really evoked jealousy in others .
“Did anything else happen apart from this?” Ximen Feng asked .
“Yeah . ” Kong Xiang Yi said, “We found out that Orchid Redolence Sect’s head is leaving the sect today . Do you have any interest in going to kill him?”
“Was he part of the people who surrounded us?”
“Orchid Redolence Sect was part of the team he led . ”
“When do we head out?”
“Now . ”
“Such a rush?”

“We have to set up an ambush first, and Lan Fang’s clansmen are about to head out . ”
“Alright, give me a moment . ”
Ximen feng wanted to look for Little Roc . Sima You Yue said that he had to take him along if he wanted to head out . However, before he had taken two steps, he saw Little Roc walking over with a group of people .
“Yue Yue said that you would definitely head out, and that we were to go with you . ” Little Roc said .
Ximen Feng was rather surprised when he saw the people by Little Roc’s side . Didn’t they come from inside the spirit pagoda? What were they doing outside? Could it be that the spirit pagoda’s existence had been revealed to Jing Wen?
“Jing Wen stayed in the house for only a short while before Yue Yue chased him away . ” Little Roc explained .
“That’s good . You guys can come with us . ”
Kong Xiang Yi took out a temporary array and placed it on the ground before activating it . Then, she led the group of them out of the heavenly city .
Ima You Yue was unable to feel the happenings of the outside, but she guessed that Ximen Feng and the others had already left as she lay on the bed and thought about what Jing Wen had told her about just now .
He said, “You Yue, you should quickly get better okay? This way, we can participate in the great alchemy master’s gathering in Chimes city . ”
She wasn’t that interested in the meeting of alchemists, but she was rather interested in what he said after that .

“It’s just a meeting of the alchemists, what are you so excited about?”
“Of course I’m excited . There will be a competition held in the alchemist meeting in Chimes city . I heard that many genius alchemists will participate . ”
“I don’t know those people, so I’m not interested . ” Sima You Yue said with a yawn .
“I heard that many alchemists will come in from the inner regions . ” Jing Wen said .
“You’re interested just because they’re from the inner regions? Aren’t they just regular people with a nose and two ears?”
“You just don’t understand . ” Jing Wen said mysteriously, “The alchemy methods of those from the inner regions are different from us . If they competed with us, we would be able to watch them refine pills . ”
“Oh . ” Sima You Yue was still wondering what he was so interested in, but she didn’t think that he was just interested in their methods . It was a pity that just being able to watch those methods a few times without someone instructing you made it impossible for you to learn how .
“You just said ‘oh’?” Jing Weng was dissatisfied with Sima You Yue’s response .
“If this were in the past, I might have been more animated . But now, I think that the most important thing for me is to become stronger . ”
“You can take your time to grow stronger, but it’s not everyday that the alchemist meeting takes place . Especially such an extensive one . ”
“Oh . I’m still young, so I can just go take a look at the next one . ” Sima You Yue said, “In any case, I’m still a student of the sect . I can’t go just because I want to . ”

“Heavenly Sect is participating as well . ” Jing Wen said .
It was only now that Sima You Yue became interested . She raised her eyes and glanced at him, saying, “You know a lot . ”
“Of course . ” Jing Wen said proudly, “Not only do I know that the Heavenly Sect is participating, I also know who has ever participated and lost . However, the person seems to be very interested in the meeting this time, so I’m guessing they’ll join again . ”
Sima You Yue thought about it in her heart . This couldn’t be the thing that Yuan Shao Jie wanted her to do, right? Could it be he wanted her to join and snatch the title?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt like it might be possible . However, it wasn’t for sure, so she didn’t let it show on her expression .
“Then, when will the meeting be?”
“It’s one year away . ” Jing Wen said, “That’s why, if you want to participate, you have to recover within a year . The mental state is the most important to an alchemist . However, it’s also the mental aspect that is the hardest to recover . It takes the longest time and now that you’ve injured it so heavily, you might take a year and a half’s time to recover fully . ”
“This isn’t something you can rush . ” Sima You Yue said .
“You’re right as well, though . You’re still young . If you participate in the next one, you might still be young enough to qualify . ” Jing Wen pacified her .
“There’s a restriction on age as well?”
“Of course . This is one of the regulations . Those who participate in the meet might are of all ages . However, those who are allowed to compete have to be two hundred years and below . ” Jing Wen said, “My age just about qualifies . If I wait for the next one, I’ll be too old . ”
Sima You Yue appraised him for a moment before saying softly, “So you’re secretly an old coot!”
Old- an old coot? Did he look that old?
Sima You Yue lay on the bed and pondered about whether or not this was the same thing that Yuan Shao Jie was talking about . However, she would never get the answer just by thinking about it, so she couldn’t be bothered to think any further .
At this moment, Little Seven ran in, so she played with her for a while .
“Little Seven, why does it seem as if you’re deathly afraid of Principal Yuan?”
Little Seven heard her mention Yuan Shao Jie as she pursed her lips, saying, “I can’t defeat him, and he always locks me in a black room . I hate the black room . He doesn’t allow me to leave the sect grounds either . ”
Up till now, a part of her body was still in that black room! However, she didn’t say this because she didn’t want You Yue to think that she was a weirdo!
Lock in a black room? Could it be that the principal was a tyrant?
This didn’t seem to be the case . Master and Martial Uncle never mentioned that he had this hobby . In that case, was he just protecting Little Seven? Could it be that it was dangerous for Little Seven outside?
Although she didn’t know what Little Seven was, she guessed that Principal Yuan didn’t let her leave the sect grounds because it was too dangerous .
However, why did he agree to let Little Seven stay with her outside?
