Shang Tang decided to kill Qin Chu at all costs. From the perspective of Family rivalry, he had to kill Qin Chu; from the perspective of a woman, he also had to kill Qin Chu, because he was sure that Shang Shuyu went to the Alchemist Guild to find Qin Chu. When Shang Shuyu came out of the Alchemist Guild with Qin Chu, her face was full of smiles, which explained the problem.
Because of Granny Yu's escort, Shang Tang dared not intercept Shang Shuyu again. The Azure Dragon Holy Family, indeed, could not be provoked now. The White Tiger Holy Family's main enemy was currently the Vermilion Bird Holy Family, and they could not make enemies on all sides.
"Come, keep an eye on the Alchemist Guild for this Young Lord, and closely monitor that Qin Chu's movements. As soon as he leaves the Alchemist Guild, notify this Young Lord." After giving his instructions, Shang Tang left.
Qin Chu did not know about these matters. After sending Shang Shuyu away, he returned to the small courtyard behind the Alchemist Guild, lit the Pill Furnace, and began Alchemy.
Lang Lang, who had been lying on the recliner, sat up. "Qin Chu, do you like your Senior Sister?"
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the Medicinal Pill exploded in the Pill Furnace. Qin Chu fell down. Lang Lang, sitting on the recliner, was unprepared, and the Pill Fire flew over his head, scorching his hair into a bird's nest.
When Lang Lang spoke, Qin Chu failed to control the heat of the Pill Furnace. In a moment of excitement, the Pill Fire flared up, causing an immediate explosion!
"Qin Chu, are you trying to silence me? If you like her, you like her. If you don't, you don't. What are you doing?" His perfect hairstyle was ruined, making Lang Lang extremely displeased.
"Brother Lang, an Alchemist cannot be disturbed when doing Alchemy. You shouldn't have spoken carelessly just now," Qin Chu said awkwardly.
"You dare to think it, but you're afraid of others saying it?" Lang Lang rubbed his hair in annoyance.
Qin Chu shook his head, "I really haven't thought about it."
"Then do you like her?" Lang Lang asked, looking at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu nodded, then shook his head again, "I do! But I can't. I have a marriage engagement with a woman from the Azure Dragon Holy Family. I plan to break off the engagement, which will displease the Azure Dragon Holy Family. So, Senior Sister and I have no future."
"So that's how it is. Simple! When you arrive at the Azure Dragon Holy Family, don't talk about breaking off the engagement; just say you want to swap for another one!" Lang Lang said.
Qin Chu gave Lang Lang a look of disdain. He was certain that Lang Lang's idea was terrible. If he dared to do that, the Azure Dragon Holy Family would kill him. What did he think the Azure Dragon Holy Family was? A backyard where he could pick any flower he wanted? It would be strange if they didn't erupt!
Seeing Qin Chu's disdain, Lang Lang stopped talking. In fact, he also felt that the idea of swapping people might not work! Great powers and great Families all cared about their reputation. If you went to swap people, what would be the reputation of the person being swapped out? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face? The Azure Dragon Holy Family would absolutely not agree to such a thing.
Qin Chu composed himself and continued Alchemy. There were many things to do, but they had to be done one by one. For now, he still had to wait for the people from the Vermilion Bird Holy Family to arrive. Currently, he couldn't even leave the Alchemist Guild's main gate; if he did, people would target him.
After refining a batch of Medicinal Pills, Qin Chu began refining the second batch. Because of the injury on his back, he couldn't Cultivate swordsmanship, so he could only do more Alchemy.
At this moment, the small courtyard door was pushed open, and Gu Zhengxiong walked in.
"Qin Chu, how does it feel to be trapped inside the Alchemist Guild and unable to leave?" Gu Zhengxiong's face showed provocation.
"It's quite good. I do Alchemy and Cultivate Origin Qi!" Qin Chu didn't even look at Gu Zhengxiong directly.
"How about this! You provide me with a batch of top-grade Medicinal Pills, and I'll talk to the White Tiger Holy Family and ask them to let you off," Gu Zhengxiong said.
"Get out, get out of here!" After refining a furnace of Medicinal Pills, Qin Chu shouted at Gu Zhengxiong. He wasn't afraid of Gu Zhengxiong, as Gu Zhengxiong couldn't act against him and couldn't expel him, so he had nothing to worry about.
Gu Zhengxiong, who had been watching Qin Chu quietly doing Alchemy with his head down, thought there was a good chance of tricking a batch of top-grade Medicinal Pills out of Qin Chu. He was stunned when Qin Chu suddenly started scolding him fiercely.
"Robbery! Vice President Gu is robbing!" Lang Lang grabbed the Medicinal Pills Qin Chu had refined, threw them in front of Gu Zhengxiong, and shouted.
Seeing the Medicinal Pill bottles thrown towards him, Gu Zhengxiong instinctively grabbed them. "Lang Lang, what are you shouting about?"
"Robbery! Vice President Gu is robbing! Qin Chu, quickly lie down!" After shouting, Lang Lang winked at Qin Chu.
"Ah! Vice President Gu, you are so vicious!" Qin Chu threw a bottle of Medicinal Pills at Gu Zhengxiong, knocked over the Pill Furnace, then lay on the ground, even biting his lip to draw a trace of blood.
Crack! The courtyard door was kicked open by the Alchemist Guild's enforcers. The enforcers entered the courtyard, and among them, Enforcer Zhang, who knew Qin Chu, helped Qin Chu up.
Not long after Enforcer Zhang helped Qin Chu up, Ji Xin, Shi Xun, and two Elders entered Qin Chu's courtyard.
"What happened?" Ji Xin asked, glancing at Gu Zhengxiong.
"Vice President Ji, Vice President Gu wanted Medicinal Pills. Qin Chu didn't give them to him, so he started fighting and directly tried to snatch them. I couldn't stop him." Before Qin Chu could speak, Lang Lang spoke first.
"Nonsense! When did I ever snatch anything?" Gu Zhengxiong's face turned red with anger. Lang Lang was framing him.
"You didn't snatch them? Then what are you holding in your hand?" Lang Lang pointed at the Medicinal Pills in Gu Zhengxiong's hand.
Gu Zhengxiong looked at the Medicinal Pills in his hand and immediately rushed towards Lang Lang. He wanted to kill Lang Lang because the Medicinal Pills in his hand were thrown to him by Lang Lang. Everything had happened in a flash, and he hadn't put down or put away the Medicinal Pills.
"Stop!" Shi Xun blocked Gu Zhengxiong. "Are you angry out of humiliation, or are you desperate?"
"Shi Xun, watch your words. These Medicinal Pills were given to me by them," Gu Zhengxiong said after taking two steps back.
"Given to you... You either mock or insult us; would we give you Medicinal Pills? Qin Chu, how are you? Is your injury serious? Take a Medicinal Pill first." Lang Lang helped Qin Chu stand up from Enforcer Zhang's hands and gave Qin Chu a healing Medicinal Pill.
"It's just a slight tremor in my internal organs; it's not very serious. Thank you for your help, Brother Lang," Qin Chu said to Lang Lang. Since Lang Lang was acting, he naturally had to play along. If he could trick Gu Zhengxiong out of the Alchemist Guild, then he would win.
"Qin Chu, I'll kill you!" Hearing Qin Chu's words, Gu Zhengxiong was furious. The situation was clear now: Lang Lang and Qin Chu were trying to frame him, and he had no way to explain himself.
"Enforcer Zhang, you were the first to arrive, what happened?" Ji Xin asked.
Enforcer Zhang bowed to Ji Xin, "Hearing the commotion here, this subordinate rushed over. After entering, I saw Alchemist Qin lying on the ground, and Vice President Gu was holding Medicinal Pills and about to leave."
"Gu Zhengxiong, you are very despicable and shameless," Ji Xin cursed. She had decided to tear off the pretense.
