292: Unexpected Guest

Unexpected Guest

The juniors of the Qi family had never heard of Celestial Masters or alchemists, but that didn't mean that the elders of the Qi family didn't know about them. They knew a bit about the cooperation between the Qi family and Longhu Mountain, and they also knew about the mystery of Celestial Masters.2

But if Celestial Masters were very mysterious to the Qi family, then the existence of alchemists was even more mysterious.

If a Celestial Master could also refine pills, they would definitely be a treasure of the sect, not to mention in reclusive families.

Moreover, these medicinal pills were auctioned off at sky-high prices at the Celestial Master Auction House. The Qi family, which didn't lack money, were all alarmed.

Which reclusive family or sect alchemist did Zhenbai marry?

Qi Hao couldn't help but join in the fun and ask curiously, "Sister-in-law, are you a Celestial Master or an alchemist? Sister-in-law, you didn't even tell me!"

Qi Hao still wanted to speak, but Second Uncle covered his mouth.

Second Uncle Qi was also stupefied by the alchemist wife whom Zhenbai had brought with him.

Chi Shuyan also knew that because alchemists were very rare in this world, they were very precious and had extraordinary status. She didn't want the Qi family to revere her, but only hoped that they would accept her. She said, "I can just barely be considered an alchemist!"

The Qi family nodded. Zhenbai's wife was young, so her pill-refining skills were probably lower.

But even then, many opinionated people in the Qi family, who originally had some thoughts about Zhenbai bringing back a woman with an ordinary identity and background, immediately dismissed them.

After the other gifts were given out one by one, Chi Shuyan received a warm welcome in the Qi family.

She had prepared Nourishment Pills for every family branch, but they were only in small bottles, and weren't as many as what the patriarch had.

Before she came, she knew that if she gave the old man medicinal pills, her identity as an alchemist would definitely be exposed. At that time, it would naturally be bad not to give the others medicinal pills, so she had planned to give everyone a small bottle of Nourishment Pills.

Qi Hao was very curious about the pills from his sister-in-law, but they were too precious. No matter how much Second Uncle and Aunt doted on this kid, they wouldn't let him touch the box which the pills were in.

Qi Hao clawed his face in anger and vowed to go to his sister-in-law's place next time for a look. He was now well aware that anything that passed through his sister-in-law's hands was good. They were all extremely rare treasures.

Only after handing out the gifts did Chi Shuyan completely relax. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the tall man next to her, who was looking at her gently.

The two looked at each other. For some reason, his gaze gave her goosebumps, and she couldn't help but look away.

Qi Zhenbai was very pleased with the Qi family's acceptance of his wife.

Qi Zhenbai's parents were also very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Mother Qi was a very gentle woman. Whether or not this daughter-in-law was an alchemist, the fact that Zhenbai liked her was enough for her. Now, she directly grabbed Zhenbai's wife's hand, took off her favorite and most treasured bracelet, and put it on her wrist.

Chi Shuyan was about to refuse, but Grandpa Qi said, "Zhenbai's wife, we're all family from now on. Take it!"

At that moment, Father Qi echoed his old man's words. Chi Shuyan looked again at the man next to her. Seeing him nod at her, Chi Shuyan didn't refuse this time.

After saying that, Grandpa Qi quickly said, "Zhenbai, come upstairs with me later to give your wife the jewelry which your grandma left for her!"

As soon as Grandpa Qi said that, everyone was shocked. But thinking about how he had always treated Zhenbai differently, it was normal for him to treat Zhenbai's wife differently, not to mention that she was a proper alchemist.

Just then, the Qi family butler came in and said that Perfected Zhang was here.

When Perfected Zhang and Li Sangyu came in, Chi Shuyan paused when she saw Li Sangyu not far away with a bit of black aura on her forehead.

When Li Sangyu saw that not only was Chi Shuyan with the Qi family, but she was also standing next to the man she liked, her face changed drastically and she suddenly rushed toward Chi Shuyan. "What are you doing here?"
