Chapter 161: Three Peerless Beauties

The crowd dispersed, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

The events of the day spread through the entire empire's capital at an incredible speed, causing a huge sensation.

The appearance of a fifth-grade peak alchemist, possibly even a sixth-grade alchemy master, was a significant matter.

Various forces, including the Jia Ma Royal Family, Yun Lan Sect, and the Ten Great Clans, took this very seriously. They all used their connections to gather detailed information about Wei Yang.

As more confirmed information emerged, their surprise and even shock grew.

Twenty-one years old!

Originating from Wu Tan City of the Jia Ma Empire?

Alchemy skills suspected to be at the sixth-grade level!?

Casually refining a Dou Ling Pill in public and succeeding effortlessly?

The quality of the resulting pill was acknowledged by Chairman Fa Ma himself as superior to his own?

He became an honorary elder of the guild!

He had been secluded, focusing solely on cultivation, and this visit to the capital was solely because his wife was interested in the alchemy conference being held?

"Do whatever it takes, even at any cost, to get in touch with Master Wei and earn his favor!" This was the order issued almost simultaneously by all the factions.

The sudden emergence of a self-taught sixth-grade alchemist in the capital was like a deep-water bomb, unsettling every power.

Even if they couldn't draw him in, they had to at least forge some closer bond.

...

The guild's backyard, residential area.

This place was rather serene and peaceful.

After becoming an honorary elder, Wei Yang was given a quiet and elegant residence within the Alchemist Guild as his permanent dwelling.

Naturally, this meant Ya Fei no longer needed to arrange for accommodation for him.

After all, living within the Alchemist Guild, Wei Yang wouldn't choose to live outside.

He also enjoyed the peace, as it allowed him to avoid unnecessary disturbances and troubles.

He knew that once the news spread and fermented, it would undoubtedly stir up a sensation.

As a high-level alchemist, the most annoying thing would probably be the constant stream of people seeking him for pill concoction, even queuing for his services.

This was inevitable.

It was likely for this reason that the Alchemist Guild established such a rule: unless you're an alchemist, without special circumstances and permission, outsiders are not allowed to enter the guild.

This essentially created a haven for alchemists to avoid trouble and harassment.

As long as they stayed within the guild, outside issues couldn't reach them.

Even if you're a Dou Huang, what of it?

Would you dare to cause trouble at the Alchemist Guild?

If someone truly dared to be so reckless, the alchemists wouldn't need to say a word, and there would be people eager to help deal with the problem.

After all, earning a favor from the Alchemist Guild was a highly sought-after opportunity.

...

The next morning.

As usual, or perhaps even more crowded than usual, the front of the Alchemist Guild's gates was bustling.

Most people were eagerly discussing the most sensational topic over the past few days: Master Wei.

Those who were fortunate enough to witness Master Wei's alchemy on the spot were surrounded by a captivated audience, eagerly recounting the events of that day.

At this moment.

Suddenly, the crowd stirred a little, with many gazing in one direction.

There, a commotion arose, originating from a luxuriously adorned carriage exuding an aristocratic aura.

Ahead of the carriage, two majestic horses, pure white without a single blemish, elegantly trotted on the cobblestone path.

Golden curtains around the carriage bore an emblem of a mystical beast, its body encased in aqua-blue flames.

The beast was sizable and intimidating, seemingly emanating an aura of awe.

"It's the royal emblem!" Some quietly murmured, recognizing the unfamiliar beast insignia.

Most people present belonged to the Jia Ma Empire and were familiar with its royal emblem.

The carriage slowly came to a stop not far from the guild's gates.

Around the carriage, a fully armored squad of a hundred soldiers stood as escorts.

Even closer to the carriage were a dozen mysterious figures cloaked in black robes, emitting faintly dangerous auras.

These cloaked figures were clearly elite guards.

Witnessing this, people couldn't help but think, "The Jia Ma Empire's royal family is indeed formidable."

The crowd's gaze unconsciously shifted toward the carriage's curtain.

A black-robed guard stepped forward respectfully to lift the curtain.

During this process, other black-robed guards subtly shifted their positions, quickly forming a small circle around the carriage.

At the same time, sharp, hawk-like eyes darted from the black hoods, intently scanning the bustling crowd.

Under the crowd's gaze, a snow-white jade-like hand reached out, gently lifting the slightly drooping curtain.

Following this, an elegant, alluring silhouette gracefully emerged from the carriage, stepping into everyone's view.

"It's Miss Ya Fei!" someone exclaimed, their breath quickening slightly.

The audience's eyes lit up, for the fame of this beautiful lady from the capital was widespread, with many losing sleep over her allure.

At this moment, Ya Fei had a faint smile on her face, gracefully stepping aside.

Immediately after, another beautiful figure slowly emerged from the carriage.

This person wore a purple dress embroidered with silver patterns. Her exquisite features rivaled Ya Fei's, exuding a natural air of nobility.

A slender waist was accentuated by a purple belt, highlighting her graceful curves.

She appeared quite young, perhaps seventeen or eighteen, and alongside the mature Ya Fei, she seemed more youthful and less voluptuous.

Standing together, one appeared noble and youthful, the other mature and voluptuous, each possessing their charm, making them difficult to compare.

The noble young woman had a slight smile, appearing graceful and serene. However, as her gaze swept the surroundings, people oddly noticed a glint of mischief in her clear eyes.

Clearly, this was not someone as quiet and serene as she seemed.

"So, it's the little princess." Those who recognized her identity chuckled and shook their heads.

In the Alchemist Guild, the little princess was known for both her beauty and her mischievous personality.

For some foreign alchemists unaware of her identity, cheers erupted, "What a beautiful young lady!"

Fiery gazes quickly turned towards the noble girl, fixated on her.

For those with certain preferences, the noble young lady seemed even more tempting than Ya Fei. Taking advantage of the crowd, they indulged their eyes slightly.

"Hey, watch your eyes. That lady is the Jia Ma Royal Family's little princess. Although she's young, she's a third-grade alchemist, and her teacher is Vice Chairman Chemier of the guild. Don't get any foolish ideas," someone kindly warned.

Upon hearing this, the crowd burst into chatter.

Some older individuals blushed slightly, subtly covering their gleaming rank badges on their chests in embarrassment.

Yet, the excitement was far from over.

Today, those gathered at the Alchemist Guild would have a feast for their eyes.

Now, a final figure emerged from the carriage, dressed in an opulent robe, tall, and elegant.

Her features bore a resemblance to the little princess, yet she exuded a cold, stunning beauty with a dignified royal presence.

Compared to the petite and adorable little princess, this woman radiated an aura of cold elegance and mature allure, captivating with every glance.

With Ya Fei by her side, aside from differing temperaments, they matched each other in beauty, making comparisons impossible.

"It's Princess Xuan Ye!" The crowd erupted again.

Three stunning beauties standing together left onlookers dazzled, overwhelmed by the sight, and torn by indecision.

However, this indecision didn't last long.

Under the escort of the ominous black-robed figures, the three breathtaking beauties effortlessly passed through the crowd, striding grandly into the Alchemist Guild.

The gate guards seemed oblivious, allowing them to openly enter with their guards.

As the beauties vanished from sight, the crowd reluctantly withdrew their gaze and eagerly speculated about their intentions at the guild.

Curiosity peaked over why three such women appeared together at the Alchemist Guild.

Some who witnessed Master Wei's alchemy that day wore thoughtful expressions.

Because that day, Ya Fei was among them.

She was escorted by Master Wei's white-robed, white-haired wife.
