Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

After passing Xingding Square, Tang Meng drove to Fengsu Venue, which was not far from the Pharmaceutical Association and was where the qualifying rounds were held.

After getting off the bus, they immediately noticed Yan Chou standing at the station entrance.

Is the young master of the Yan family here as well?

"Master Jin."

Gu Jinming is famous in the capital, especially for his face.

Gu Jinming nodded slightly, and the group didn't interact much. After exchanging greetings, they entered the venue together.

Zhou Ming, on the other hand, chatted with him for a couple more minutes.

Yan Chou is in charge of this qualifying competition. Because of his superb alchemy skills, he is quite famous in the Medicine Association. Whenever it is his experimental class, the classroom is always packed.

Especially since he was young and good-looking, he was incredibly popular in the capital.

Many people tried to curry favor with him, but he was tactful and never suffered any loss when dealing with these old guys.

Those who aren't quick-witted enough might even get tricked by him.

The Yan family is relatively low-key and has been involved in medicine for generations, making them a force to be reckoned with.

Upon entering the venue, Zhou Ming noticed that there were quite a few people there today. The place was packed with people, inside and out. If it weren't for the presence of Gu Jinming, an ordinary person would probably be overwhelmed by the crowd in no time.

Upon seeing Gu Jinming, the person in charge of the venue quickly led him to a room with good privacy and excellent environment and air quality.

"Master Jin, this is a surveillance camera that can monitor every area. The qualifying rounds start at eight o'clock. If you wish to watch later, Master Jin, I will arrange for someone to take you to the pavilion."

The person in charge spoke with great respect, and was sweating profusely from nervousness.

Tang Meng was afraid that if the person in charge stayed in the same room with them any longer, they wouldn't be able to withstand Master Jin's unfathomable aura, so he quietly saw them out of the room.

"Isn't the young master of the Yan family one of the people in charge?"

Zhou Ming stroked his chin and asked.

Gu Jinming covered his legs with a blanket and nodded.

"I just saw him at the door, it looked like he was waiting for someone."

Tang Meng guessed, recalling Yan Chou's excited and pleading look at the door.

"I wonder who it is that deserves his personal attention."

Zhou Ming also felt quite curious.

"Should I go and find out?"

Tang Meng asked tentatively.

Gu Jinming shook his head, picked up the warm water beside him with his pale hand and took a few sips. "No need, don't worry about it."

Tang Meng responded.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he relayed to Gu Jinming what the person in charge had said to him when he saw him off.

"By the way, Master Jin, Xiao Liu just said that there will be a judging panel during the qualifying rounds later. They seem to be quite influential. There are rumors that they are the ones who made the Primordial Spirit-Replenishing Pill. Should we investigate them?"

Making the Primordial Elixir?

This is somewhat interesting.

A hint of interest appeared in Gu Jinming's eyes. "Go check it out."

Tang Meng agreed and walked out with his phone in hand.

Zhou Ming touched his ear, momentarily doubting whether he had misheard.

Is that a big shot here as a judge?

Does he accept disciples?

I want to become your apprentice!

Looking at the time, it was almost eight o'clock. Zhou Ming took his phone and went out. "Master Jin, I'm going over first."

Outside.

Yan Chou had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, but he didn't light it. He was just pretending to smoke it. While he was getting bored, a slender, cool girl with an aura walked towards him from not far away.

Wow, that's pretty cool.

Yan Chou glanced at her a few more times. The girl was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down low, revealing only her delicate chin and her dazzlingly white skin.

As she drew closer, Yan Chou felt it wasn't appropriate to keep staring at the girl, so he subconsciously looked away.

However, a pleasant voice with a hint of coolness rang in her ears, and the girl stopped in front of her.

"Black car block?"

Yan Chou: ?!

I'm lying down!

No, how did she know that was my dark web nickname?

Yan Chou looked up in surprise, his gaze fixed on her.

"you are?"

Wait, could it be Y?

How can it be!

Shouldn't Y be a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties?

How could it be such a young woman?

The main thing is that she's also so good-looking; it's really a visual shock.

"Y".

Lu Qingyun frowned slightly; the surrounding noise was making her a little impatient.

Yan Chou looked like he'd seen a ghost, pointing at her for a long time before finally coming to his senses.

"Wait, let me think for a moment."

Lu Qingyun ate another candy on her way here. The sweetness filled her mouth, and her brows relaxed. She didn't say anything, but looked calmly at Yan Chou, who looked withdrawn.

Not long after, Yan Chou took a deep breath, put the cigarette back in his pocket, and looked at her with great surprise, "I really didn't expect Y to be so girly. Um, you're the one who concocts the medicine?"

Lu Qingyun hummed in agreement.

Yan Chou's face showed even more shock.

Oh no, my worldview has been turned upside down.

"Aren't you going in? It's almost time."

Lu Qingyun spoke in a calm tone.

Yan Chou closed his chin and stepped forward to lead the way, "Go in, go in, come on, I'll take you backstage first."

As the two entered the venue, those who knew Yan Chou curiously sized up Lu Qingyun beside him.

Who is this girl?

It looks a bit familiar.

Of course, there were quite a few people here today, and some of them recognized Lu Qingyun.

"That's Lu Qingyun, Jin Ye's wife who just married into the family not long ago."

"She recently married into the Gu family. I heard she came from the countryside and lived there for twenty years. But looking at her today, she seems to have a strong presence and doesn't look like she came from the countryside at all."

"Is that Lu Qingyun? She's quite pretty."

"Why is she getting so close to the young master of the Yan family?"

"Don't you know?"

"what?"

I feel like there's some juicy gossip to be had.

Hearing that there was more gossip to hear, everyone around perked up their ears.

“Yesterday I went to Hejitang for dinner and unexpectedly ran into her and Gu Yan. The two of them got into an argument for some reason. Gu Yan said that Lu Qingyun was having an affair with another man and was ruining the reputation of the Gu family.”

"Huh? Really? Are those country folk really that wild?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a vixen. She takes advantage of her pretty face to do whatever she wants outside."

"Just wait and see, she definitely won't live much longer. If this matter blows up any further, Master Jin will definitely torture her terribly, and he might even annul the engagement."

"Hmph, that's not all. She probably made her angry. Yesterday she even dislocated Gu Yan's jaw."

"Huh? So arrogant?"

"She really is a country bumpkin, so ignorant of manners."

Despite the surrounding noise, Lu Qingyun remained unaffected, her expression quite calm.

However, as she slowly walked forward, a familiar figure came down from the stairwell.

Lu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then turned her back, took out a mask from her pocket and put it on, then reached out and tugged at Yan Chou, "Lend me your coat."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Yan Chou glanced at her thin frame and quickly took off his coat and handed it to her.

Lu Qingyun took it and draped it over her shoulders in a flash.

With her hat pulled low and a mask covering most of her face, plus Yan Chou's coat, Tang Meng couldn't recognize her at all.

Yan Chou: Ah, as expected of a big shot, even a casual outfit can make people's eyes light up.

But is the big shot hiding from someone?

Yan Chou narrowed his eyes.
