70: Chapter 7 Wen Ning's Performance!!!

Everything that had just happened was seen clearly by her and Mi Duoduo from not far away.

From the outbreak of the conflict to the appearance of Deacon Fang Da.

Then to the thunderous means used to deal with Xue Gang and Long Tao, and finally to Fang Da personally gifting pills and a card...

All of these reversals centered around the youth before them named Qin Yan.

When she first saw Xue Song looking for trouble with Qin Yan, Wen Ning had not intended to intervene.

Although she was kind-hearted, she was not an indiscriminate do-gooder who ignored the situation.

She knew very well what should be managed and what should not.

She was certain that Xue Song would at most humiliate Qin Yan for a bit.

He wouldn't dare do anything too excessive inside the Hundred Herbs Hall.

Moreover, she and Qin Yan were complete strangers.

Furthermore, Xue Song was, after all, a genius ranked in the top ten of Modu Jiaotong University.

His uncle Xue Gang was also a Fourth-Rank Alchemist of the Hundred Herbs Hall, with a decent background.

In her eyes, it was not a wise move to offend Xue Song for a stranger.

In this world where strength is respected, many times, "weakness" itself is a primal sin.

However, the subsequent development of the situation completely exceeded her expectations.

Qin Yan not only held a Hundred Herbs Hall Gold Card, but Grandmaster Xiao Huo was actually standing behind him!

The name of this giant in the path of alchemy was like a thunderclap to her ears!

Because her own cultivation resources were often stretched thin.

Wen Ning paid extra attention to the pill market and those famous alchemy masters.

Xiao Huo was precisely one who had left an extremely deep impression on her.

For no other reason than that Xiao Huo possessed an extremely special title—Rank Six Alchemy Grandmaster!

One must know that whether in the path of alchemy or the martial path, usually only upon reaching the Rank Seven realm is one qualified to be honored as a "Grandmaster."

But Xiao Huo had obtained the title of "Grandmaster," recognized by the entire alchemy world, while still at the Rank Six realm!

This was because his alchemy skills had already reached the pinnacle, gaining unanimous recognition from all his peers.

They believed his level had long since reached the grandmaster standard.

He only needed to wait for his own martial cultivation to break through to Rank Seven, and he would naturally become a true Alchemy Grandmaster!

And Xiao Huo was still young; the probability of him breaking through to become a Rank Seven Grandmaster in the future was extremely high!

What did this mean?

It meant that behind this youth named Qin Yan.

Stood a future dual Grandmaster of both alchemy and the martial path!

He was a thick, sturdy golden thigh with infinite potential!

If she could befriend such a "high-quality stock."

For the resource-starved Wen Ning, it would be of great significance!

Not to mention anything else, even if it was just by virtue of Qin Yan's status.

If he could help get a discount or provide some convenience when buying pills in the future.

Or if she could occasionally obtain some insider information or priority purchasing rights.

All of these could save her a huge amount of expenses and alleviate her massive economic pressure!

Thinking of this, Wen Ning no longer hesitated.

She gently smoothed a few stray locks of hair on her forehead, her movements elegant and natural.

Taking a step forward, she spoke to Qin Yan.

Her voice was as gentle and pleasant as ever, as if possessing some kind of magic that could soothe irritability: "Student Qin Yan, I'm truly sorry. I've caused you trouble again because of Xue Song's matter."

Her voice seemed to have a strange penetrating power, sweeping through Qin Yan's heart.

It actually caused the slight residual gloom in his heart caused by Xue Song to unconsciously dissipate quite a bit.

Qin Yan looked at the gentle-mannered girl before him who had taken the initiative to apologize.

He waved his hand and said in a calm tone, "It's fine, Classmate Wen Ning.

Xue Song is Xue Song, and you are you. You shouldn't have to apologize for his behavior."

He was not someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong; he wouldn't vent his anger on others without reason just because of that idiot Xue Song.

However, Wen Ning gently shook her head.

Her face carried a just-right amount of apology and persistence.

That soft and beautiful posture made it hard for anyone to refuse any of her requests: "No, this matter ultimately has something to do with me.

If it weren't for me, Xue Song might not have held hostility toward you even on the bus.

Nor would he have specifically come to find trouble with you later.

If I don't personally apologize to you, I really won't feel at ease."

As she spoke, she slightly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling gently.

A faint layer of melancholy and self-reproach seemed to cloud her fair cheeks.

Coupled with her gentle-as-water temperament, at this moment, she truly looked pitiable and lovely.

Any normal male seeing such a scene.

Would probably feel a sense of pity and want to comfort her properly.

Standing to the side, Mi Duoduo's eyes were wide like copper bells.

Her small mouth was slightly open, her face full of disbelief.

This was the first time she had seen her best friend, who was always elegant and self-contained and never gave boys the time of day.

Show such a weak and moving appearance in front of a boy she had just met!

This simply overturned her understanding of Wen Ning!

Looking at Wen Ning's expression of being on the verge of tears and full of self-reproach, Qin Yan's heart also softened.

In all his years, this was also the first time he had encountered such a situation.

An exceptionally graceful beauty so sincerely begging you to accept her apology.

And putting on such a posture, it was truly difficult to remain cold-hearted.

"Alright, alright,"

"I accept your apology. This matter is now behind us, and you don't need to take it to heart anymore."

Hearing Qin Yan's words, Wen Ning's face instantly went from "cloudy to sunny," blooming into a bright and gentle smile.

Like the sunlight after a rain, it dispelled all the gloom.

Striking while the iron was hot, she took out her smart bracelet.

With a bit of shyness, she said softly, "Then... Student Qin Yan, let's add each other's contact information?

I'm really sorry about today. I have some urgent business and need to leave immediately.

When I have time in the future, I'll treat you to a meal to formally apologize, okay?"

As she spoke, she slightly lowered her head, her slender fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes.

That shy and timid look was enough to make any boy of the same age's heart race.

This was indeed the first time Wen Ning had actively asked a strange boy for his contact information.

Although it was with a purpose, the nervousness in her heart was real.

But she told herself that she must get this contact information!

This concerned her future "money" prospects and cultivation resources!

In her heart, she had already unhesitatingly labeled Qin Yan as an "alchemist" and a "high-quality connection."

Are you kidding? How could a personal disciple of Grandmaster Xiao Huo not be an alchemist?

He was simply a walking treasure trove!

Qin Yan looked at Wen Ning before him, her pretty face slightly flushed and her eyes full of expectation.

Although he vaguely felt that the other party seemed a bit too enthusiastic, he didn't think too much about it.

After all, her attitude was very sincere, and he truly couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Of course."

Qin Yan nodded and also took out his smart bracelet. The two quickly added each other as friends.

Seeing the name "Qin Yan" successfully added to her contact list, Wen Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As if she had completed a vital task, her tense heartstrings also relaxed.

"Student Qin Yan, are you finished with your business here?"

Wen Ning put away her smart bracelet, her tone returning to its previous naturalness.

(It's over, these few chapters have too much filler. Emmm, darlings, just bear with it for now. But don't worry, everyone, there are no simps in this book.)
