Chapter 696: Chapter 698: The Conference Begins, The Despised Alchemy Tower (Part One)
Murong Qingchu slowly put down the cup in his hand, his cold gaze utterly still, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
“Young Master Murong,” the woman known as Feng’er nodded gently towards the man seated high up, who seed as detached as a deity, her stunning face completely frigid.
The middle-aged woman appeared sowhat dissatisfied with her performance, frowning tightly for a long while before she relaxed and turned her head to Murong Qingchu, “Young Master Murong, this is my daughter, Shangguan Feng. May I request Young Master Murong for a favor? Not only do you have exceptional talent, but you also possess great strength. Therefore, I wish for you to give so guidance on cultivation to my daughter.”
Though she was the Sect Leader of the Immortal dicine Sect, it was only a title; the true founder of the sect was that man, and Young Master Murong was that great man’s son.
About that great man, stories of him still circulated in the Central Continent.
It was said that he had doggedly pursued a woman for decades. Unfortunately, the woman had already had a husband by her side, but he never gave up, loyally standing by, until after many years, that woman’s husband fell for another and deeply hurt him. Then he took the opportunity to win the woman’s affection.
By the ti he married her, he was over fifty, but the marriage did not last long. Regretting his abandonnt, the woman’s husband intended to reclaim her, unaware that the woman’s heart already belonged to that great man. In a fury, the man who had abandoned her ended her life while he was away.
Afterwards, that great man was enraged and provoked a bloody disaster in the Central Continent. Although he cared not that she had been tainted by another man, the woman was ntally and physically broken and eventually left this world, leaving behind their son, Murong Qingchu.
The great man had his son late in life, fathered by the woman he adored, and naturally doted on him greatly. Regrettably, due to his son’s health issues, he had been sent away from a young age for nurturing and was unable to take over the dical Immortal Sect. Thus, from within the dical Immortal Sect at the ti, she was chosen to manage it.
However, the true master of the dical Immortal Sect was still him…
If Feng’er could gain favor from Young Master Murong, perhaps her status could beco more secure. Moreover, it was said that all these years, Young Master Murong had always been solely devoted to his purpose, not even interacting with won. If she could marry such a man, it wouldn’t be a loss for Feng’er…
“I’m sorry,” Murong Qingchu faintly curved his lips, his cool eyes showing no ripple, “I am not interested in advising her on cultivation.”
Shangguan Lan was startled for a mont, seemingly not expecting Young Master Murong to refuse so straightforwardly.
Regardless, her daughter possessed a beauty that could overthrow states, and she was no lovesick fool who could not tear her gaze away from Young Master Murong. Why then did Young Master Murong not wish to spare her a second glance?
It appeared that Young Master Murong really was as discerning as the legends claid.
Yet, Shangguan Lan was very confident that besides her daughter, there was no one else in this world who matched up to Murong Qingchu.
“Has Young Master Murong co to attend the Immortal Doctor eting?” Shangguan Lan asked respectfully, her eyes flickering slightly.
“Yes.”
Murong Qingchu softly responded, his handso, pale face still expressionless, as if aside from this, the man would have no other expressions.
Suddenly, a stunning face seed to appear before him, the corners of his lips lifting in a gentle arch…
