Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

When Lu Yuan handed the completed elixir to Su Liyan, she was surprised to find that the quantity exceeded expectations by 20%, and the quality was even better than expected.

Su Liyan couldn't help but marvel at Lu Yuan's extraordinary level of alchemy.

At the same time, in the upper echelons of Hanyu Sect, Su Liyan's uncle and other elders also noticed Lu Yuan's outstanding performance and began to consider recruiting him to stay in Hanyu Sect.

"If we can have such an outstanding alchemist, it will be a huge help to Hanyu Sect."

Su Liyan's uncle was convinced.

So, they decided to make a suggestion to Lu Yuan to stay in Hanyu Sect through Su Liyan, the middleman.

Of course, everything requires Su Liyan's consent.

A few days later, Su Liyan received a notice from her uncle, requesting to meet her alone.

Su Liyan walked into her uncle's study with some curiosity and saw several family elders waiting there.

"Su Liyan, sit down and listen to us." Uncle said seriously.

Su Liyan felt nervous. She knew there would be nothing simple about this meeting.

"We have noticed the talent and strength that Lu Yuan has recently shown in Hanyu Sect."

Before the dinner started, Su Liyan sat in the corner feeling a little depressed.

When she saw that Lu Yuan did not come to the dinner, she felt even more unhappy.

The uncle looked at Su Liyan seriously, waiting for her answer.

While Su Liyan was deep in thought, the leader suddenly started an introduction ceremony.

Her dissatisfaction caused a minor awkward scene.

The boss realized that the matchmaking plan was no longer feasible, and decided to use his own attitude to close the relationship with Lu Yuan.

The other elders nodded in agreement.

During the event, Su Liyan's attitude towards other disciples became cold, especially after learning that Lu Yuan refused to match them.

The next day, a celebration dinner was held in Hanyu Sect, hosted by the headmaster himself, and the nine elders and various hall masters were present.

"We hope you will consider whether you can take on the important task of bringing together Lu Yuan and the Han Yu Sect."

Now she was suddenly brought in by the family to make a decision, leaving Su Liyan with no choice.

Lu Yuan observed the Hanyu Sect's assessment process and ultimately refused to participate in the celebration dinner, showing his disinterest in the matter.

"He is an important new disciple of our Hanyu Sect - Lu Yuan."

Although sometimes she felt that Lu Yuan had some special feelings for her, her feelings for Lu Yuan were not clear yet.

Su Liyan had mixed feelings in her heart. She understood what her uncle meant, but she felt a little embarrassed.

After a moment of silence, she finally said she would obey the decision of her family elders.

An elder said, "For Han Yu Sect, he is a rare talent."

The relationship between her and Lu Yuan has always been just companions, and has not developed into a deeper relationship.

“There is a special guest who was unable to attend today’s celebration.

After the leader said these words, the whole place suddenly fell silent.

"Why didn't Lu Yuan come?" A hall leader couldn't help but ask.

The leader smiled slightly and did not answer directly.

"Lu Yuan showed extraordinary strength in Hanyu Sect and was even described as a genius by Su Liyan, the person in charge of this mission."

The whole place suddenly burst into murmurs.

Su Liyan's face looked a little embarrassed. She didn't want to cause such a commotion because of her words.

The leader looked at the crowd and continued: "However, we don't know why Lu Yuan chose to refuse to attend the celebration party."

"It was his personal decision anyway."

There was a hint of concern in the leader's words. "Since Lu Yuan has shown that he is not interested in this matter, we don't have to force him to participate."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"If Lu Yuan is not interested in attending the celebration party, then we cannot let him miss the opportunity to get to know more about our senior brothers and sisters."

The leader continued: "Please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone on behalf of Lu Yuan."

The leader looked at everyone affectionately, and everyone could feel the sincere affection in his heart.

Su Liyan looked up at the leader, feeling a little moved in her heart.

She suddenly understood the leader's intention. He was not forcing Lu Yuan to attend the celebration party, but wanted to use his attitude to draw closer to Lu Yuan.

During a mission to collect herbs, Su Liyan met Zi Xi'er, a Nascent Soul monk who had returned from the Ziyun family, and learned that the Ziyun family's elixir garden had been attacked by blood shadow forces.

After discussing with Lu Yuan, Zi Xier decided to go to the southwest to find new elixir resources, and invited Lu Yuan to accompany them to increase their strength and protect the elixir garden from being invaded.

Su Liyan sat in the corner with a disappointed and depressed mood. The celebration dinner had already begun, but Lu Yuan did not show up.

She couldn't help but feel even more unhappy and disappointed.

While she was meditating, a cold breath suddenly came to her side. She raised her head and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of her.

This woman has beautiful long purple hair and a pair of bright eyes. She seems to be a rare monk outside the Hanyu Sect.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I see that you seem a little unhappy. Do you need to talk to me?" Zi Xi'er said softly.

Su Liyan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect to meet this strange woman.

She looked at Zi Xi'er in front of her, feeling an inexplicable sense of intimacy in her heart.

"It's not really a big deal."

"I just feel a little disappointed because my hard work has not received the recognition it deserves."

Su Liyan said with a slightly wry smile.

Zi Xi'er smiled slightly and patted Su Liyan's shoulder gently.

"Everyone will experience such moments, but it does not mean that your efforts are not valuable."

“Some things may take time to prove their significance and value.”

Zi Xi'er said lightly.

Su Liyan's heart moved. She began to like this strange woman and felt that what she said made sense.

"Thank you for your enlightenment. I feel much better now."

"who are you?"

"Why did you come to the outer mountains of Hanyu Sect?" Su Liyan asked curiously.

Zi Xi'er introduced herself to Su Liyan with a smile.

"I am Zi Xi'er from the Ziyun family. I heard that you have many precious elixirs here, so I came here to take a look."

"It is a pity that the elixir garden owned by our Ziyun family was attacked by the blood shadow forces and is now recovering."

Zi Xi'er said, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

Su Liyan was shocked when she heard this. She had also heard about the Blood Shadow Force and knew that they were a very powerful and cruel force.

"Do you need help?"

"If possible, I can take you to the Hanyu Sect to find some precious herbs to repair the elixir garden."

"At the same time, you can also join us in searching for new elixir resources in the southwest region."

"

Li Yan offered help without hesitation. (End of chapter)
