It Hasn't Started Yet?

Just as Su Wanyi and Qiao'er were teasing each other, Qin Xiu arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion.

Some sharp-eyed outer sect disciples saw Qin Xiu and quickly went up to greet him.

"Hello, Senior Brother Qin Xiu!"

After one person greeted him, the others quickly followed suit.

When Qin Xiu came in, his face was dark and he completely ignored the people who greeted him.

He walked straight towards Zhou Yun's alchemy room, disregarding the outer sect disciples.

"What's wrong with Senior Brother Qin Xiu?"

An outer sect disciple saw Qin Xiu's gloomy face and hurriedly asked the disciples beside him.

A disciple who knew the details whispered to him, "Don't you know? Senior Brother Qin Xiu has special affection for Little Junior Sister Qiao'er. He probably heard that Little Junior Sister was here, so he purposely came over. "

"Then, why doesn't he look happy?"

The disciple replied, "Have you forgotten what happened just now? Qiao'er is clearly closer to Senior Brother Zhou Yun. Can't you see that she is still waiting outside his room?"

He continued, "From the looks of it, someone secretly told Senior Brother Qin Xiu about this."

"This will be interesting to watch!"

"Ah, then wouldn't that mean..." The disciple couldn't help but exclaim, but his mouth was covered.

"Lower your voice!"

As the two of them spoke, Qin Xiu approached Zhou Yun's alchemy room.

At this moment, his alchemy room was already filled with people.

The crowd surrounded the room so tightly that not even a fly could escape.

The crowd was there not because Zhou Yun was refining pills.

It was mainly because of Eldest Senior Sister Su Wanyi and Qiao'er.

The two of them were goddesses of the valley.

It was extremely rare for most outer sect disciples to catch a glimpse of even one of them, not to mention meeting both of them at the same time.

The disciples were single mindedly admiring the two goddesses when they suddenly saw Qin Xiu walk in. They quickly greeted him.

"It's Senior Brother Qin Xiu. Hello, Senior Brother Qin Xiu!"

"Get out of my way!" he shouted. His face was gloomy, and he completely ignored the greetings of his outer sect junior brothers.

Everyone quickly made way for Qin Xiu.

As the crowd parted, Qiao'er and Su Wanyi's figures could be seen.

When he saw the two of them, especially Qiao'er, Qin Xiu's originally sullen face suddenly revealed a smile.

He asked, "Junior Sister Qiao'er, what are you doing here? What a coincidence!"

Qin Xiu quickly walked to Qiao'er's side and greeted her warmly. He was a completely different person from just now.

The speed at which he changed his expression stunned everyone.

Qiao'er muttered, "Why is he here? Why do I bump into him everywhere?"

She had been waiting for Zhou Yun outside the room. When she saw Qin Xiu walking over, she immediately revealed an impatient look.

Qin Xiu pressed on, "Junior Sister Qiao'er, why have you come here? Do you want me to accompany you?"

After he saw Qiao'er, his originally depressed mood immediately brightened up. He quickly went up to show his concern towards her.

"Nothing here concerns you. You should leave soon."

Qiao'er took Su Wanyi's hand and turned away from Qin Xiu.

Qin Xiu was not at all perturbed by Qiao'er's impatience.

He appeared in front of her again.

"Junior Sister Qiao'er, are you here to buy something? Do you need my help?"

"No, you're so annoying!"

Qiao'er was getting impatient.

Su Wanyi was oblivious to the relationship between Qin Xiu and Qiao'er.

When she saw Qin Xiu coming over, she also greeted him warmly.

"Junior Brother Qin Xiu!"

She didn't have any bad impressions of him and only took care of him like a junior brother.

"Hello, Senior Sister!"

When Qin Xiu saw Su Wanyi greet him, he also quickly returned her greeting.

Everyone in Spirit Valley respected Su Wanyi.

It was not only because she was the eldest senior sister, but also because she was especially gentle to everyone. She would not treat anyone differently based on their cultivation level.

This was one of the reasons why she was respected and sought after by everyone. Moreover, she was one of the best looking women in the valley.

She was a goddess-level existence in everyone's hearts.

"Eldest Senior Sister, is there something you need here?"

Qin Xiu knew that the two of them were waiting for Zhou Yun to finish refining pills, but he acted like he didn't know anything.

"Oh, we are waiting for Junior Brother Zhou Yun to come out of the room. He's refining pills inside," Su Wanyi said gently.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiu was extremely jealous.

What did Zhou Yun do to deserve Qiao'er waiting here for him?

Even he had not done so!

Who the hell did Zhou Yun think he was?

Zhou Yun used to be a disciple at the first layer of Qi cultivation!

Even if he had achieved a breakthrough now, he was still a fifth layer Qi cultivation cultivator.

How could Zhou Yun compare to him?

Qin Xiu vented internally for a long time before gradually regaining his composure.

He wished he could slap Zhou Yun to death.

However, he didn't dare to do anything in front of Qiao'er.

Seeing that Qiao'er had a good relationship with Zhou Yun, he could only pretend to be on good terms with the latter.

"Is that so? Is Zhou Yun actually going to refine pills? If so, I wish him good luck in advance as he embarks on the bright path of alchemy!" Qin Xiu exclaimed, pretending to be surprised.

He continued, "You might not know this, but I'm classmates with Zhou Yun. Back when we were still in the outer sect, I could already tell that he had a talent for alchemy."

"At that time, I advised him to try out alchemy, but he was only focused on cultivation. Now, he has finally thought it through!"

Qin Xiu sighed softly, as if he had been liberated from a heavy burden in his heart. He spoke as if he was genuinely looking out for Zhou Yun.

"I believe that with Zhou Yun's talent, it won't be long before he becomes an official alchemist."

"He's been inside refining pills for a while, right? Unless I'm mistaken, he should have succeeded by now!" Qin Xiu declared solemnly, as though he was highly confident in Zhou Yun's abilities.

Qin Xiu's flattery of Zhou Yun had changed everyone's impression of the latter.

"Is Zhou Yun that powerful?"

"Even Qin Xiu has such confidence in him. Zhou Yun must really have some talent in alchemy!"

Qiao'er and Su Wanyi were also moved by Qin Xiu's words.

"So Junior Brother Zhou Yun is that powerful?" Su Wanyi said gently.

"Are you that close to Brother Zhou Yun? How is it that I didn't know about it?" Qiao'er looked at Qin Xiu and asked suspiciously.

"Haha, just you wait and see. I'm guessing that he has already succeeded in refining the pills. He should be able to come out in a while!" Qin Xiu once again made a bold declaration.

Although he said these things, he despised Zhou Yun internally.

He thought, "Hmph! Zhou Yun, let's see how you handle this situation when you come out. Right now, everyone is looking forward to your success. If you don't succeed, then you'll be a joke, hehe! Let's see how you're going to get out of this predicament today!"

Deep down, he did not believe that Zhou Yun would be able to successfully refine the pills.

Finally, after 15 minutes, the door of the alchemy room slowly opened.

The surrounding crowd quickly peered inside.

Qiao'er, Su Wanyi, as well as Qin Xiu, also looked over.

Zhou Yun slowly walked out of the alchemy room.

His face was calm, and his deep eyes showed no emotions.

It was as though he had yet to start refining pills and had just entered the room.

It was as if he wasn't the one refining the pills.

Looking at Zhou Yun's calm expression, the crowd was a little suspicious.

Someone asked, "Did you succeed? Or did you fail? Spill the beans. Why are you acting like this?"

Another person speculated, "Could it be that it hasn't started yet?"
