Yu Wanqing turned out to be Qin Mufeng’s junior sister, which was quite unexpected.
But, both of them being so remarkable, dical students, and top talents from Capital City isn’t really strange.
"I heard you returned to the country, and I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t expect that Senior truly ca back."
Yu Wanqing approached, her face adorned with a gentle and soft smile.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on Xia Yinian, slightly surprised: "Nian Nian, you... know Senior Mu Feng?"
"Child of an old friend of my father." Qin Mufeng answered for Xia Yinian because he could see that her expression stiffened upon encountering Yu Wanqing.
It seed as if she recalled so unpleasant mories.
However, although not very close, Yu Wanqing and he had conducted research together during their school days.
Yu Wanqing was known to have a very good temper, elegant and gentle, not the kind to harbor grudges against others.
They were not only schoolmates in Capital City, but also abroad. Both of them were fast-tracked students, graduating from Capital City at twenty.
Afterward, they went to the sa school overseas.
Yu Wanqing didn’t continue to inquire about it, she just shot Xia Yinian a smile and then turned her attention to Qin Mufeng.
"Senior Mu Feng, did you return at this ti to participate in this year’s Mid-Autumn Alchemy Competition?"
"What Alchemy Competition?" Xia Yinian tucked away her discomfort and looked at Qin Mufeng.
"The triennial Alchemy Competition held in Ye City International Trade Center, where experts from various groups and schools throughout Ye City will participate."
"Wanqing participated in the first session at the age of nineteen, and has won the championship twice in a row. This year will be her third ti."
He looked at Yu Wanqing, speaking indifferently: "I didn’t co back to compete this year; I am actually one of the judges."
"Senior Mu Feng is going to be a judge?" Yu Wanqing’s eyes lit up, then she smiled softly: "Now that I’m walking with Senior Mu Feng, even thinking about inviting you to a welco-back al, wouldn’t that count as bribing?"
"A bribe it certainly isn’t, but as for the welco-back al, let’s discuss that another ti when we’re both free."
Qin Mufeng suddenly rembered sothing and looked down at Xia Yinian, who was a whole head shorter: "By the way, there are a few days left to sign up for the competition. Does Nian Nian want to register?"
"?" Xia Yinian pointed at herself, her face in disbelief.
Boss, she only started to learn about dical knowledge today, and the alchemy was just an overview of so equipnt he introduced.
This was a competition held in Ye City once every three years; was she going to participate just to make a fool of herself?
"What, you think that my, Qin Mufeng’s private student, isn’t qualified to participate?" He narrowed his eyes, showing a hint of displeasure.
He seed to be... serious.
Xia Yinian was sowhat amused but also helpless: "Alright, are there preliminaries? If it’s free, I’ll sign up."
"I’ll register for you."
"..." Just like that, the matter was settled. How rash, right? As an outsider, to sign up for such a large competition...
It still felt very rash.
"Nian Nian is your student?" This statent from Qin Mufeng left Yu Wanqing astonished.
In her mory, he always seed to be a loner, never liking to socialize, let alone with won.
How exactly did these two co together?
But Qin Mufeng didn’t answer this obvious question; instead, he looked at Xia Yinian with a smile: "Wanqing is the favorite to win this session’s championship, while you just started today. Do you have the confidence to snatch the crown from her hands?"
