Seeing the oncoming young man, the guard hurriedly stopped and stood aside to make way.
"Hello, sir."
Chen Guan nodded slightly, opened the middle door, and walked past him absent-mindedly.
But he had almost disappeared at the corner, and the other party still did not make any other moves, and continued to walk around.
Did I guess wrong?
Chen Guan couldn't help but doubt it. After thinking deeply, he felt that the probability of an assassin sent by the Izumo Empire was really small.
Before today, he had not entered the public eye, and even inside the palace, not everyone knew him.
It's impossible that the other party received the news and the assassin was in place just after killing the ninth prince. If the Izumo Empire had this ability, it would have unified the northwest region long ago.
"What are you doing?"
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Chen Guan walked back and asked directly.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the guard's face, and he looked confused, "Reply to the sir, I was punished by the princess to come here."
"Yaoyue? Why did she punish you?"
What kind of weird punishment is this.
"It was the little princess. A quarter of an hour ago, the eldest princess's coming-of-age ceremony was over. The little princess didn't know who had provoked her and came back angrily. I was guarding the gate and went forward to greet her. The little princess was very dissatisfied with me for taking the left foot first, so she punished me to walk back and forth two hundred times in front of the eldest princess's palace."
Chen Guan:
Okay, it was really a misunderstanding, a clever little girl.
"I see, where is she now?"
The guard showed an embarrassed look.
"Just tell me, I promise she won't mind."
"Her Highness the Princess told me not to tell the young master that she went to the Alchemist Guild, let alone tell the young master that she likes gifts."
"." Chen Guan was speechless.
"Okay, I get it, you go back and don't hang around anymore."
After responding, Chen Guan changed direction and walked out of the palace.
The guard hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare to really listen to him. He still honestly completed the little princess's punishment. He has been guarding the gate for seven years, and he is still thinking about getting promoted one day. He can't leave a bad impression on the little princess by being sneaky.
The holy city and the palace are like two different worlds inside and outside the walls.
Knowing that today is the coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest princess, the hottest topic on the street is who is going to attend, and counting the big shots.
"I saw from afar this morning that the leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun, came with the great elder. The temperament of the leader is much stronger than that of the black-faced strongman I met before. He is so elegant and graceful that he looks like a goddess in the world. The royal family is really proud this time."
"What black-faced strongman? That's old man Nalan. But speaking of it, I haven't seen the old man of the Nalan family for a long time. Even the eldest princess's coming-of-age ceremony today was attended by the head of the family, Nalan Su."
"The head of the Mitel family also came in person.
" "It is said that there are people from other empires coming to participate."
The spectators happily shared their gossips. The lively and noisy atmosphere is the unchanging tone of the Holy City.
The boy passed by without interrupting or commenting, and did not rebuke those who boasted.
The Alchemist Guild is located on the south side of the Holy City. It occupies a small area, far less than the three major families, and the buildings are relatively low-key.
However, the temperament of the people passing by was completely opposite. Most of them held their heads high, wishing to wear the badge on their chests on their heads, and raised their chins higher than anyone else. The arrogance on their faces could not be concealed.
Just because, they were all alchemists!
The status of alchemists needs no further explanation. Their noble and somewhat deformed status gave them extreme self-confidence.
To be honest, they deserved a beating.
Many people complained in their hearts, but no one dared to take action.
As a guild that gathered most of the alchemists in the empire, it was definitely a behemoth. Not to mention the three major families, even the royal family and Yunlan Sect were unwilling to offend them easily.
This was Chen Guan's first time here. It can only be said that the arrogance is well-deserved, and even better. Even the guards at the door seemed to have been infected with this habit, and they were a little arrogant to the non-alchemists who visited.
Chen Guan was not interested in looking at their faces. He took out a xiao and blew it a few times. In less than half a minute, he saw a half-grown girl running down with a happy face. After seeing the boy, she quickly restrained her expression and tried to act cold.
"Chu Yuxuan, what are you doing here?"
"I've told you so many times, don't call me Chu Yuxuan!" Chen Guan's head was full of black lines, and he looked like he was going to collapse.
Since the first time they met, this little girl has always called him like this. After knowing his relationship with Yao Ye and his real name, she not only did not restrain herself, but called him even more happily.
Seeing Chen Guan's defeat, Yaoyue raised her lips proudly, and her resentment was gone.
She thought she had won back a victory, but she didn't know that Chen Guan had already seen her performance, and it was nothing more than me turning a blind eye to her performance.
Little brat, so easy to control!
"Is your teacher here? I'll go visit him."
"Are you here to visit your teacher?"
"Of course not, I'm here to see you, and I'm here to visit you." Seeing that the little girl was about to glare, Chen Guan spoke up.
Yaoyue was satisfied, and she led the way with her hands behind her back.
"Since you are so sincere, this princess will reluctantly introduce you to me, not for any gifts."
Chen Guan followed with a smile, "No need to emphasize again and again, your gift is indispensable, I will give it to you after you finish your homework."
With Yaoyue leading the way, it was naturally smooth.
Even when going up to the second floor, several alchemists who looked like managers just took a second look and didn't stop her, which shows that this little girl still has a very special status in the Alchemist Guild.
The little princess of the royal family, the apprentice of President Fama, there are really few people who can compare with her in the territory of the Gama Empire.
"Teacher, his name is Chu Chenguan, he is a good friend of my sister, he came to pick me up, and he also came to visit the teacher."
Entering an alchemy room together, Yaoyue behaved much better and took the initiative to introduce.
"Yes, he is my sister's good friend, not mine, I haven't forgiven him yet."
In addition, she did not approve of the brother-sister relationship between Chen Guan and Yaoye. If she approved, wouldn't it mean that she would have to change her words to call him brother?
In comparison, she was more accustomed to calling him Chu Yuxuan, and she and her sister had their own opinions.
"Chen Guan, meet President Fama."
"Well, we met before in the palace. You surprised all of us old guys. You are a very good young man. You sit next to me for a while. I will finish today's homework for Yue'er, and then we can have a good chat."
The weight praised, and it was not empty words. The content to be taught today was not profound, so Chen Guan was allowed to sit in.
"It's my honor."
In the dim alchemy room, the elder patiently taught the girl the way of alchemy. A handsome boy sat beside him and listened carefully. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
At the same time, in the secret room in the back mountain of Yunlan Sect, two people were talking in a dim secret room.
However, the sound coming out was not like the sound of carbon-based creatures.
"Hehehe!"
