Long Road to Stardom

"Sister Su Qing, my sister and Brother Lu Qing have broken off their engagement."

"What are you talking about? This is impossible. They have such a good relationship, how could this be possible?"

When Lin Xing heard this, he stood up in shock and said.

"At first, I thought so too, until my sister brought Brother Lu Qing to visit the Wen family, and happened to meet Wen Ze, and then killed him."

"My sister didn't believe that this was something that Brother Lu Qing did, and she helped him escape from the Wen family."

"After some investigation, it was found that the murderer was Brother Lu Qing. When my sister learned the truth, she locked herself in her room and never left. She was in a daze all day, crying all the time."

"Since then, the Wen family has been at odds with the Lu family, and their engagement has naturally been cancelled."

Lin Xing found it a little unbelievable after hearing this. She always felt that there must be something they didn’t know.

But she didn't say it, instead she asked Wen Zishu, "Who is Wen Ze in your Wen family?"

"Sister Su Qing, do you know about the Alchemist Conference in a month?"

"Of course I know this. After all, I have been in Dan City for a while."

"Sister Su Qing, do you know the eight great alchemy families in Dan City?"

"Well... I have heard a little bit about it, but I don't know which ones they are."

"Sister Su Qing, the Wen family is actually one of them, but it ranks last. The Lu family is a little better than the Wen family, ranking seventh."

Lin Xing suddenly realized what was going on and said, "No wonder I felt that you had an extraordinary temperament when I first met you."

"Sister Su Qing, don't you blame us for hiding something?"

"What's so strange about this? Everyone has a few secrets." Lin Xing said indifferently.

Lin Xing's words made Wen Zishu feel relieved, but Sister Su Qing's open-minded attitude made him feel a little warm.

"Sister Su Qing, you are right. Everyone has their own secrets, and I am no exception." Wen Zishu said frankly.

"Okay, I know a little bit about your personality, so let's talk about this Wen Ze."

"It seems that Sister Su Qing has not been out much, otherwise she would not know about the uproar in Dan City."

"Don't keep me in suspense, tell me now." Lin Xing asked anxiously.

Wen Zishu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then slowly said, "Sister Su Qing, Wen Ze is a sixth-rank alchemist trained by the Wen family just for this Alchemist Conference."

"Now that he has been killed by Brother Lu Qing, the Wen family is instantly in a dilemma. Maybe after this Alchemist Conference, the Wen family will be kicked out of the eight great alchemy families. I came to you, Sister Su Qing, this time because I want you to represent the Wen family to attend the Alchemist Conference."

"The Alchemist Conference is not for alchemists alone. How can it be related to the rankings? Can we be sure that the eight great alchemy families in Dan City will be firmly in the top eight?"

"Of course not, but you have to be in the top ten of the Alchemist Conference, otherwise you will not be eligible to enter the Hundred Herb Forest."

"Will there be one or two outsiders entering the Hundred Herb Forest?"

"Sister Su Qing, you need a special bloodline to enter the 'Hundred Herb Forest'. Alchemists who come from other places can only get the items prepared by the Alchemist Conference."

When Lin Xing heard this, he asked in confusion, "That's not right. Since you need a special bloodline to enter, isn't this bloodline only possessed by your eight great families?"

"That's true. I heard from my elders that there are at least eighteen companies in Dan City that own it."

"In fact, after every Alchemist Conference, the eight great alchemy families often undergo changes."

“If it was in the past, the Wen family would definitely not care about being kicked out of one of the eight great families in Dan City, but a few years ago, someone in the family offended a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and he demanded an eighth-grade elixir as compensation before he would let the Wen family go. Otherwise, there is a high possibility that the family would be exterminated.”

"But it's not that easy to refine an eighth-grade pill. We can't even gather the materials to refine an eighth-grade pill. And the Alchemist Conference is about to start, so the clan has set its sights on the 'Hundred Herb Forest'."

Wen Zishu told Lin Xing everything at once and cleared up all his doubts.

"In Dancheng, cultivators are not allowed to take action. How could the Wen family be exterminated?" After hearing these words, Lin Xing asked the last question.

"Sister Su Qing, this is the worst plan of the Wen family. But if you want to develop a family, how can you develop it if you can't go anywhere? What's more, there are so many forces in Dan City eyeing it covetously."

After Wen Zishu finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, stop sighing and try the food in this restaurant. I will visit the Wen family in a few days."

"But let me make it clear first, I won't help you for nothing."

"Sister Su Qing, of course. I will tell my father when I get back and I will show my utmost sincerity."

Wen Zishu finally showed his first smile in a while, and accompanied Lin Xing to eat the meal in the restaurant. It seemed as if he had returned to the old time, but some things and people had changed.

After eating and agreeing on a time, the two left the restaurant and went their separate ways.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Xing noticed several eyes looking in her direction.

“Who will all these people be?”

"It seems that I am really involved in a troublesome matter this time. After the Alchemist Conference is over, it is estimated that it will not be easy for Su Qing to continue to appear in front of people. I have to find a chance to leave Dan City and change my identity."

Lin Xing thought about the fact that her current hair color was quite conspicuous and she couldn't change it, so she left the restaurant and walked towards a shop selling clothes and jewelry, ignoring the gazes behind her. However, there was a line of sight that made her feel uncomfortable, it didn't seem like an ordinary stalking.

Walking into the shop, Lin Xing was dazzled by the rows of various clothes.

There are also all kinds of hair accessories and jewelry on the counter, and each type of hair accessory can automatically change your hairstyle, which is simply amazing.

Lin Xing immediately started shopping and bought a bunch of hair dyes in various colors. She was dumbfounded when she had to pay the spirit stones.

But this time she accepted it. She thought she only cared about these external things as long as they could be worn and used. It seemed that she had not found anything that suited her taste.

After leaving the shop, Lin Xing rented another cave in the same inn and moved in under the identity of Su Qing. After getting the token, he walked towards the newly rented cave.

After entering the cave, the sight of the monk who had been following her was finally cut off.

This newly rented cave was not far from the cave she had rented before.

The two caves had been connected by the two little guys "Zhizhi" and Xiaobai long before, and no one knew how they did it.

Lin Xing took advantage of this and used the earth escape technique to return to the cave he had rented.

After a quick glance, I found that Zhizhi and Xiaobai were not in the cave. They must have gone out to play again.

After simply tidying up the messy cave, Lin Xing came to the bedroom for rest and sat in front of the dressing table.
