I didn’t expect the Li Family to come so soon.It seems they must have someone keeping watch near the Treasure Elixir Pavilion. Otherwise, how could they have shown up just after I returned? “Alright, I’ll take a look,” Lu Changsheng stepped out of the Alchemy Chamber and prepared to see what they wanted. Li Xingruo also went out with him. The three of them arrived at the shop’s main hall. There stood a man in his thirties, dressed in an ink-colored Magical Robe, with a gaunt face. Upon seeing Lu Changsheng and the two sisters approaching, he immediately greeted them respectfully, “Li Changhu of the Li Family, at your service, Master Ye.” “What can I do for you?” There’s an old saying that one shouldn’t slap a smiling face.

Seeing how polite the other party was, Lu Changsheng didn’t respond with cold words but spoke indifferently instead. “I’ve heard of Master Ye’s great reputation, and I’ve specially come to pay my respects,” Li Changhu took out a beautifully crafted gift box from his Storage Bag and politely said. “No need for gifts. If you have something to say, speak; if there’s nothing, I have Alchemy to do,” Lu Changsheng looked at the behavior of the other party, his expression indifferent, without any sign of fluctuation, and said. He wondered what the Li Family meant by this visit. It didn’t seem like they were here to cause trouble. Or perhaps it was a strategy to first offer gifts and then troopers? To prevent him from interfering in the matter between the Li sisters and the Li Family? “Hearing that Master Ye has recently arrived in Immortal City, our Li Family wishes to inquire whether Master Ye intends to settle down here. Our Li Family’s base, Great Cliff Mountain, is not far from Immortal City. Our clan doesn’t only have four Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators but also inheritance from a Second Rank Alchemist. I have come to invite Master Ye to become a Guest Elder for our Li Family, as long as Master Ye is willing…” Li Changhu said with a smile and in a polite tone, indicating the intention of his visit. Upon hearing this, Li Xingruo and Li Xingyu, the two sisters, glared at Li Changhu in anger. It was precisely because of the Li Family that their Treasure Elixir Pavilion had always failed to invite a presiding Alchemist. Now that they finally had Lu Changsheng, the Li Family immediately sent someone over, causing them considerable irritation. “I have already signed a contract with the Treasure Elixir Pavilion. I’m now the presiding Alchemist of the shop. So please, you should leave,” Lu Changsheng said directly upon hearing this. “Since that is the case, I have intruded. Still, please accept this token of goodwill,” Li Changhu said upon hearing this, not insisting further. His main purpose for coming was to test the relationship between Lu Changsheng and the Li sisters. And now, judging by Lu Changsheng’s attitude, he mostly understood that Lu Changsheng did not hold the Li Family in high regard and was clearly on the sisters’ side. ꭆαΝỔBЕŝ “I don’t accept rewards without merit, no need for gifts,” Lu Changsheng said, waving his hand. “Master Ye, actually, I came here to apologize to my two nieces and to clarify the misunderstanding from the past,” Li Changhu sighed and said out loud. He implied there was a misunderstanding between Li Xingruo and her sister and the family from the beginning. The family had no ill will towards the Li sisters originally. It was merely because a Foundation Establishment Ancestor had some grievances with their parents, resulting in domineering actions. But before the matter was settled and dealt with by the Family Elder, Li Xingruo abruptly abandoned the family’s assets, taking her sister and leaving the family, severing ties, rendering the situation distinctly stiff. Otherwise, considering their parents’ contributions and Li Xingruo’s talent in Alchemy, how could the Li Family act in such a way? Over these years, had the sisters admitted their mistake, the family wouldn’t have held past issues against them and would have treated them well once more. “There’s no misunderstanding; we sisters no longer have ties with the Li Family and won’t return,” Li Xingruo said coldly, her face frosty. She wasn’t naive. There might have been misunderstandings in the Li Family’s past. But this year’s events had thoroughly chilled her heart. How could she believe these words? To lightly mention ‘misunderstanding’ and sweep all past affairs under the rug? If it genuinely was a misunderstanding, why would the Li Family wait until now to send Li Changhu to apologize and clear things up? In truth, it was all on account of face given to Lu Changsheng, the Alchemy Master, that the Li Family sent someone to speak of a misunderstanding. Otherwise, they would have only continued to pressure the sisters into submission, In the end, they would either have to sell the shop and leave Jiuxiao Immortal City or bow their heads and admit wrong to the family. “Fine, I’ll accept the gift, but whether it’s a misunderstanding or not is none of my concern. I am the Alchemist of the Treasure Elixir Pavilion now, and I don’t want any more trouble from you at the ‘Treasure Elixir Pavilion’,” Lu Changsheng spoke up. After hearing all of this, he had a clear understanding of Li Changhu’s purpose for coming. It was to see what relationship he had with the Li sisters. If there was none, perhaps a gift would have been offered in hopes he’d stay out of the family’s business. If there was a good relationship, it would be a gesture of goodwill and an attempt at reconciliation. Now that he grasped the situation, Lu Changsheng wasn’t going to press the issue aggressively to seek justice for the sisters. After all, his relationship with the two wasn’t so deep yet. He didn’t have the leisure, time, or the inclination to handle such matters. As long as the Li Family stopped causing trouble for the Treasure Elixir Pavilion, that was enough. By accepting the gift, he was indicating his stance that the matter should be put to rest. “Yes, I have taxed Master Ye’s patience, I take my leave,” Seeing that Lu Changsheng was willing to accept the gift, Li Changhu also heaved a sigh of relief. This indicated that Lu Changsheng wouldn’t get involved with the Li Family on behalf of the sisters. Although the Li Family didn’t fear Lu Changsheng, They had no desire to offend a second-rank high-class Alchemist over such a trivial matter. “Farewell, I won’t see you out.”
