Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 103: All Encountered

"That’s Master Su Ye!"

Hearing Mo Wangchen refer to Su Ye as "Master," Zhang He felt another jolt in his heart. This name, he had not heard any less recently. Like Xue Zheng, Su Ye was one of those individuals highly likely to advance in rank soon.

"Even Master Su Ye shows him such respect..."

Zhang He swallowed nervously, his face brimming with shock, as if he were starting to doubt life itself. Who exactly was the young man accompanying Liang Yuqiu? Given his age, no matter how he thought about it, Zhang He couldn’t believe the young man’s Alchemy Dao Skill would surpass his own, let alone that of Xue Zheng and Su Ye.

"Could he be the young master of one of the five great families?"

Zhang He frowned, suddenly considering the possibility, but he quickly shook his head. Even a young master from one of the five great families couldn’t command such respect from Su Ye and Xue Zheng. Besides, Liang Yuqiu was also the young lady of the Liang Family and a disciple of Elder Ling, yet she did not garner such deference from Su Ye and Xue Zheng. Their attention was solely on Mo Wangchen.

"Could he be some prince?"

Zhang He’s heart began to tremble slightly. This was the only explanation now. If Mo Wangchen wasn’t a prince, it would be impossible for Su Ye and Xue Zheng to treat him with such regard.

Thinking of this, Zhang He’s complexion paled. If the young man truly was a prince, it would be troublesome, as earlier he had declared that he would have the alliance revoke the young man’s assessment qualification...

In front of the colossal power of the Royal Family, not to mention a humble second-grade alchemist like him, even a third-grade one would seem insignificant.

However, just as Zhang He was about to step forward to apologize to Mo Wangchen, a figure walked out before him. It was also an elder, dressed in simple green robes, appearing somewhat modest.

"Could it be another master?" Zhang He thought, and, as expected, the elder walked to Mo Wangchen’s side and glanced at Xue Zheng and Su Ye.

Seeing the elder, Mo Wangchen was taken aback. Everyone had arrived! The green-robed elder was none other than the first alchemist he met, Lin Qing!

However, before Mo Wangchen could speak, Xue Zheng and Su Ye stood up hurriedly with respect and cupped their hands toward Lin Qing, "Master Lin Qing!"

"You all..."

Lin Qing looked at them, then glanced at Mo Wangchen, "You know each other?"

Naturally, Lin Qing knew who Xue Zheng and Su Ye were, but he was curious about how Mo Wangchen came to know them. Previously, Mo Wangchen had advised him not to call him "Master Mo" in public, only to address him as "Young Master Mo," so Lin Qing hadn’t greeted Mo Wangchen immediately.

"I didn’t expect Master Lin Qing to know Master Mo too?" Xue Zheng courteously cupped his hands.

Su Ye, however, had known that Mo Wangchen and Lin Qing were acquainted. When Mo Wangchen arrived in Skywind City, he had told Su Ye that it was Lin Qing who guided him to join the Alchemist Alliance.

Recently, in Fangtian City, Lin Qing had developed several revolutionary pills, including the Qi Gathering Pill, which was now being mass-produced and sold, greatly enhancing his reputation in the Alchemy Dao Realm of Yun Country.

Currently, even a fourth-grade alchemist in the alliance would be quite courteous towards Lin Qing.

Admiringly, Su Ye reflected that with such achievements, it wasn’t surprising that Lin Qing would be Mo Wangchen’s mentor in the Alchemy Dao.

But just as Su Ye entertained this thought, Mo Wangchen smiled congenially and gestured toward an empty spot nearby, "Have a seat. I didn’t expect to meet all of you here today."

"This..."

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Lin Qing hesitated a bit, glanced at Xue Zheng and Su Ye, then replied, "In front of Master Mo... how could I have the right to sit?"

These words caused everyone, including Xue Zheng, Su Ye, and Zhang He, to gasp in shock. This was the same Lin Qing who developed the Qi Gathering Pill and several other game-changing pills and whose influence soared. Yet, he claimed he wasn’t even qualified to sit in Mo Wangchen’s presence?!

Should anyone else hear of this, it would be inconceivable!

Currently, Lin Qing held considerable status within the alliance, and even Alliance Hierarch Elder Ling often took interest in his affairs.

"What secret is he hiding..."

Liang Yuqiu inhaled deeply, her eyes filled with disbelief as she regarded Mo Wangchen, mirrored by Tang Zihan, who stood beside Xue Zheng, her wide eyes revealing surprise.

Previously, her mentor Xue Zheng spoke highly of Mo Wangchen, acknowledging his potential Alchemy Dao Skill, which might surpass her mentor’s. Yet, she hadn’t anticipated that Mo Wangchen would know Master Lin Qing, let alone hear Lin Qing himself state that he wasn’t fit to sit in Mo Wangchen’s presence... This was too far-fetched.

"Please, sit down. Enough with all these formalities."

Mo Wangchen waved his hand dismissively, encouraging Lin Qing to sit.

Once everyone took their seats, Mo Wangchen smiled. Just as he was about to speak, a thought crossed his mind. His eyes shifted to Zhang He and his apprentice, addressing them coolly, "Master Zhang, we have some matters to discuss now. Would you mind excusing us?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Feeling Mo Wangchen’s gaze, Zhang He couldn’t help but shudder. Only now did he realize that Mo Wangchen’s identity might be far more complex than it appeared.

Quickly nodding like a pecking chicken, his face full of caution, he took the still-stunned Xu Yu and left, not even planning to partake in the examination.

Once Zhang He and his disciple departed, Mo Wangchen turned again to Lin Qing and the others, "Let me introduce you. This is my senior sister at Yun Chu Academy, also an alchemist whom you might be familiar with..."

"Of course, we know Miss Liang Yuqiu!" Lin Qing smiled warmly, courteously bowing to her.

Being a disciple of Elder Ling, although her current alchemy rank wasn’t high, with her young age, one day she might succeed Elder Ling and perhaps become the next alliance leader.

However, compared to Mo Wangchen, Liang Yuqiu’s Alchemy Dao Talent was noticeably lesser.

"Greetings to the three masters!"

Liang Yuqiu expressed respectfully, aware that these three had the highest chances of passing the third-grade assessment today, and she dared not neglect them.
