Chapter 28: Do I Need to Know You?

The palace symbolized the supreme rule of the thirty-six cities of the Xuantian Empire.

Throughout the empire, the royal family was revered above all.

However, in Ye Chen's eyes, the royal family of the Xuantian Empire was nothing more than a slightly larger ant, unworthy of his attention.

The three of them walked calmly towards the Third Prince's palace.

Inside the palace of the Third Prince, Ouyang Qingyun had already arrived and was waiting for Ye Chen and his companions.

"If the Alchemy Hall in Tianyou City dares to interfere in secular affairs, I will take action," Liáng Yǔ said calmly, expressing his stance to the Third Prince.

With Liáng Yǔ's statement, the Third Prince felt even more reassured.

At that moment, Ye Chen arrived, and the gaze of everyone in the hall instantly turned towards him.

Each gaze felt like a sharp blade, as if they could slice Ye Chen and his companions apart.

However, Ye Chen didn't care about these gazes and sat down directly.

His action caused a subtle change in the expressions of many people.

In the palace, only members of the royal family were allowed to sit. Who dared to sit down casually? Apart from the Third Prince, Liáng Yǔ, and Ouyang Qingyun, everyone else stood.

Yet Ye Chen and his companions dared to sit down directly.

"Impudent!"

One of the martial attendants shouted angrily, but he was stopped by the Third Prince with a wave of his hand.

"Famous reputation is better than meeting in person. Brother Ye's arrogance is truly admirable," Liú Jiāng Mò said with a smile.

In the palace, anyone who dared to disregard him and sit down directly, apart from the elder members of the royal family, was definitely the first.

Truly worthy of the person who dared to kill his martial attendants and threatened him without fear.

Enough arrogance.

"Enough with the nonsense. I killed your dog, do you want to decide?" Ye Chen couldn't help but hear the implied meaning in Liú Jiāng Mò's words, but did he need to care?

Liú Jiāng Mò remained silent, but his companion Liú Yuán whispered something in his ear.

Raising his head, Liú Jiāng Mò looked at Liáng Yǔ.

The woman beside Ye Chen was the one who protected him in Tianyou City.

Was she from the Alchemy Hall?

Was she Ye Chen's reliance?

Whether it was true or not, his master Liáng Yǔ would be able to judge.

"I am Liáng Yǔ, the Grand Elder of the Alchemy Hall of the Xuantian Empire," Liáng Yǔ said quietly, looking directly at Wu Qingxue.

Wu Qingxue furrowed her brows slightly. She didn't know who Liáng Yǔ was. And her frown confirmed to Liáng Yǔ that she was definitely not from the Alchemy Hall.

In the Xuantian Empire, any member of the Alchemy Hall, even if they didn't know who Liáng Yǔ was, would have to bow and show respect to any elder of the Alchemy Hall apart from the Hall Master, Sòng Yì.

Wu Qingxue remained indifferent. Obviously, she didn't know the rules of the Alchemy Hall, and naturally, she was not a member of the Alchemy Hall.

"When did the Alchemy Hall start meddling in worldly affairs?" Wu Qingxue suddenly spoke up as Liáng Yǔ shook his head.

Huh?

Liáng Yǔ was slightly stunned. How dare she question him?

It seemed that she had identified the Alchemy Hall's lack of involvement in worldly matters, and therefore, had used the name of the Alchemy Hall to act recklessly.

But she didn't expect to be caught in the act.

Thinking of this, Liáng Yǔ's expression became grim, and he said, "It is said that the Alchemy Hall in Tianyou City, inappropriately interfered in worldly affairs. I thought it was someone violating the rules of the Alchemy Hall, but it turns out that someone is impersonating a member of the Alchemy Hall and acting recklessly."

"Impersonating?" Wu Qingxue's brows furrowed even deeper.

As the granddaughter of the master of the Alchemy Hall, she was accused of impersonating a member of the Alchemy Hall.

Did she need to impersonate?

"Do you even know me? And what rules are you talking about?" Wu Qingxue responded coldly.

Liáng Yǔ sneered, "I am the Grand Elder of the Alchemy Hall of the Xuantian Empire. Throughout the empire, apart from the Hall Master, Sòng Yì, all alchemists must bow and show respect to me. That's the rule."

"Your name is Liáng Yǔ?" Wu Qingxue's voice became increasingly cold.

In front of Ye Chen, she was a martial attendant, respectful and obedient. But don't forget, she was also the granddaughter of Wu Qingtian, with an equally extraordinary status.

A senior elder of a branch of the empire dared to talk about rules and demand her to bow? Who would regret it if he didn't?

Liáng Yǔ's face also began to show signs of anger, and he said disdainfully, "Even if you are a member of the Alchemy Hall, you should know the rules."

"Do you really want to talk to me about rules?" Wu Qingxue's words carried profound meaning.

But Liáng Yǔ failed to discern it, and his face was filled with anger.

"Aren't you just a junior? What right do you have to talk to me like this?"

Liáng Yǔ said coldly, "Apart from Master Sòng Yì, no one has the right to expel me from the Alchemy Hall. Who are you to me?"

Clap!

Before Liáng Yǔ could finish his sentence, a crisp sound rang out.

Liú Jiāng Mò and Ouyang Qingyun stood up abruptly, and everyone in the hall looked in shock at what was happening.

She actually slapped Liáng Yǔ.

How dare she?
