After coming out of the Yuntong Comrce Guild, Su Chen decided to head back to the academy directly.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry and strolled along the way, observing his surroundings.
"Su Chen, what a coincidence!"
At this mont, a voice rang out.
Su Chen looked up to see an extraordinary young man walking towards him from a distance, accompanied by two servants.
"It truly is a coincidence; I didn’t expect to et the Third Prince here."
Su Chen said with a smile.
"It’s rare for us to have such fate. Why don’t you co to my place for a while?"
The Third Prince, Ning Rui, said with a cheerful expression.
Seeing the other party being so enthusiastic made Su Chen slightly hesitant.
"Actually, I have sothing I wanted to discuss with you. I was planning to visit the academy in a couple of days to find you."
Ning Rui said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen’s curiosity was piqued:
"Oh, what’s it about?"
"We’ll talk in detail once we’re at my place."
Ning Rui said casually.
Since the other party had put it that way, Su Chen decided not to decline and smiled slightly:
"Then I shall intrude."
Su Chen wasn’t suspicious of a deliberately orchestrated encounter because if the other party really intended to contact him, they had plenty of ways to do so without being so deliberate!
Of course, this wasn’t important to Su Chen; he was more curious about what the other party wanted with him!
"There’s nothing to intrude over."
Ning Rui waved his hand heartily and said:
"I actually wanted to invite you from the start, but it felt a bit abrupt, and I didn’t expect to bump into you here today!"
Subsequently, the two of them walked towards a certain direction and arrived in front of a sowhat grand mansion in less than an hour.
The Third Prince was quite favored, so naturally, his mansion was grand, majestic, luxurious, and exquisite!
Su Chen then entered under the guidance of the other party, discovering that the mansion’s grounds were vast, and its scenery was ticulously crafted, appearing pleasing to the eye!
Before long, the two entered a living room.
"Please have a seat, Su Chen."
Ning Rui greeted with a smile.
After Su Chen sat down, a very pretty maid imdiately entered, poured them each a cup of tea, and then withdrew.
"By the way, Your Highness, what exactly is the matter you ntioned wanting to discuss earlier?"
After the initial eting, there was no need for formalities, so Su Chen asked casually at this mont.
"It’s like this: there’s a hunt coming up, attended by various princes in the Imperial Palace and so noble scions from the Imperial Capital, mostly young people."
Ning Rui said with a smile:
"I wanted to invite you to accompany ; you can also et others then. I wonder if Su Chen is interested?"
"Su Chen, just consider it as doing a favor."
Ning Rui smiled imdiately upon hearing this.
Actually, he said this more out of politeness, not really expecting Su Chen to be of much help!
His main intention was to use this opportunity to foster a closer relationship!
"No problem."
Su Chen thought for a mont and said, having so interest in the hunt ntioned by the Third Prince.
Seeing him agree so readily, Ning Rui was sowhat surprised, then looked at Su Chen and said:
"There’s sothing you should be aware of: the Fourth Prince is certain to attend, and it’s also possible for Cheng Fei to be present!"
"Maybe there will be so trouble at that ti."
"Trouble will always be trouble; it’s unavoidable."
Su Chen shrugged nonchalantly and said; he was well aware that the Fourth Prince would attend, and it was a great chance to observe!
This Fourth Prince had already acted against him twice, and he hadn’t gotten to "know" him properly yet!
Otherwise, he might really think himself to be exceedingly magnanimous!
"You needn’t worry too much, Su Chen. Since I’ve invited you, I’ll do my utmost to ensure your safety!"
Ning Rui said, looking at Su Chen.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen smiled noncommittally.
After chatting casually for a while, Su Chen bid farewell and left...
...
Upon returning to Zhaixing Academy, Su Chen imdiately began to perform alchemy!
With a thought, the small alchemy cauldron flew out from the Cangyue Ring and floated before him.
Then, he pointed out with his finger, and a fla instantly erged, wrapping around the base of the alchemy cauldron!
The first step was naturally to heat the cauldron evenly, which greatly benefits the subsequent pill condensation!
After a while, he began adding the dicinal ingredients while gradually increasing the fla intensity!
Having perford alchemy once before, Su Chen was quite familiar with the process!
Before long, with a sudden "boom", a strange dicinal fragrance wafted out...
...
Su Chen continued alchemy until the night she completed the refinent of all the materials, producing a total of one to two hundred low-grade spiritual elixirs!
In fact, he still had two types of middle-grade spiritual elixirs on him, previously refined!
However, for now, he had no use for them; using them would just be wasteful, and even more so for Jiang Shiqi and Jin Muxi!
During their refinent, they served more as experints; of course, since they’ve been made, they’re saved for future use.
Refining elixirs for such a long period drained both physical and spiritual power significantly, so Su Chen took a bath and rested for a while.
Two or three hours later, he woke up, and by then, it was morning.
After freshening up, he walked out the door and headed towards the girls’ dormitory area.
"Hey, who is he?"
"You don’t know him? That’s Su Chen!"
"He’s Su Chen!"
"He seems quite good-looking!"
"Hmm, very appealing, the more you look, the more handso he becos!"
...
Since there were very few n at the girls’ dormitory area, coupled with the innate gossip nature of won, Su Chen’s appearance instantly attracted attention!
Upon hearing that he was Su Chen, there was a small commotion!
No choice, as Su Chen was now a celebrity at Zhaixing Academy!
Seeing the won staring at him, Su Chen could only smile, nod, and walk past...
After walking a while, he finally arrived at Jiang Shiqi’s door and gently knocked.
Upon hearing the knock, Jiang Shiqi opened the door and saw Su Chen, her face instantly showing a pleasant surprise:
"Why did you co?"
"Just ca to see you!"
Su Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiqi’s face showed a shy expression, and she said:
"Then co in, my roommate’s not here."
Jiang Shiqi shared the room with soone else, but the other person was not present...
