Chapter 102: Chapter 102: The President Wants to See Him

"Business?"

Jiang Chen asked in surprise, "There’s business to discuss?"

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

He knew she must have come for a reason, but since she hadn’t brought it up, Jiang Chen wouldn’t either.

Finally, Murong Xiangming couldn’t hold it in any longer and was ready to talk business.

Murong Xiangming said, a bit speechlessly, "It’s just that your Spiritual Skin Liquid is so good it made me forget why I came to see you."

She was truly helpless; Jiang Chen’s Spiritual Skin Liquid was so extraordinary that it drove everything else from her mind.

But now, she composed herself.

Looking at Jiang Chen, she said, "I do have something I need to discuss with you."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Go ahead."

He was actually curious about her purpose in coming here too.

Murong Xiangming paused for a moment before speaking. "It’s like this. Your Foundation Strengthening Pill from the auction caused quite a stir."

"Afterward, someone came to our Treasure Elephant Pavilion asking to meet you."

"So, I came to you today specifically to ask if you are willing to meet them."

"If you are not, our Treasure Elephant Pavilion will absolutely not reveal your information to anyone."

She was worried Jiang Chen would become displeased with the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, so she immediately brought up their rule about not disclosing client information.

She wanted to avoid any misunderstanding with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment. ’There are probably quite a few people who want to see me.’

He pressed, "Regardless of whether I’m willing or not, first tell me who wants to see me."

He needed to understand the other party’s identity and background before he could decide whether to meet them.

Murong Xiangming said, "It’s the President of the Alchemist Guild, Master Qin."

"Your master is an Alchemist, and you are one yourself. I imagine you should be able to get along well with the Alchemy Master Guild."

By now, Murong Xiangming also knew that Jiang Chen was an Alchemist himself.

"The Alchemy Master Guild?"

Jiang Chen murmured to himself.

Speaking of the Alchemy Master Guild, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion.

After all, in his previous life, Jiang Chen had been the President of the Alchemy Master Guild.

And the highest-ranking President at that.

Although the Alchemy Master Union had many branches, there was only one overall President—and that was him, Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen still had some personal feelings for the Alchemy Master Guild.

He wondered if, after a thousand years, the Alchemy Master Guild had elected a new President.

He fell silent.

Seeing Jiang Chen fall quiet, Murong Xiangming didn’t interrupt, knowing he was considering the matter.

The Treasure Elephant Pavilion was merely acting on behalf of another. If Jiang Chen was unwilling to meet, the Pavilion would naturally refuse Master Qin.

Murong Xiangming had come to see Jiang Chen in person because she wanted more contact with him herself.

This was an opportunity, which was why she had come personally.

After a long silence, Jiang Chen spoke.

His voice was deep as he said, "The President of the Alchemist Guild, Master Qin. Fine, I can meet him."

"I just don’t know what his purpose is."

Jiang Chen had heard a little about Master Qin. In the Alchemy Master Guild of Hanwu City, the President held absolute power.

Moreover, Master Qin was a Martial Master Ninth Heaven expert and a Second-Grade Alchemist.

However, in terms of Alchemy Skill alone, he was certainly no match for the current Jiang Chen.

"He probably wants to recruit you into the Alchemy Master Guild," Murong Xiangming stated truthfully.

"So, you’re saying you’ve agreed to meet him?"

Jiang Chen nodded in silent agreement.

’Just for this one thing, she made a special trip.’

Watching Murong Xiangming’s beautiful figure disappear down the street beyond the Jiang Family’s main gate, Jiang Chen frowned.

’Murong Xiangming is definitely holding something back.’

Jiang Chen had a faint feeling that Murong Xiangming had held back from saying something at the end.

But he didn’t concern himself with it.

「Treasure Elephant Pavilion.」

Master Qin said to Murong Xiangming, "Thank you, Miss Murong."

"So it’s that Jiang Chen from the Jiang Family. I understand now. Thank you."

Master Qin learned from Murong Xiangming that Jiang Chen was actually willing to meet him.

He immediately took his leave and returned to the Alchemy Master Guild.

The Alchemy Master Union, in Hanwu City, was an existence that stood above even the City Lord’s Mansion.

Not even the City Lord’s Mansion dared to provoke the Alchemy Master Guild.

Like the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, it was a behemoth.

Master Qin was overjoyed. The chance to meet the person who refined a Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill was incredibly rare.

But when he found out that person was none other than Jiang Chen of the Jiang Family, he was both surprised and a little confused.

’Isn’t he a good-for-nothing?’

’How could he possibly refine such a high-quality Elixir?’

’Could it be that at such a young age, he’s really a Fourth-Grade Alchemist?’

Though filled with doubt, his curiosity was piqued.

So he summoned an Alchemist to run an errand.

"Xiao Gu, go to the Jiang Family and invite that Jiang Chen to our Alchemy Master Guild."

Xiao Gu was an Elder of the Alchemy Master Guild, a position of considerable status.

He was also a Second-Grade Alchemist. Although he had only recently been promoted to Second Grade, he was a genuine Second-Grade Alchemist nonetheless.

"President, are you sure? Jiang Chen of the Jiang Family? Isn’t he a good-for-nothing?"

"What are you inviting him here for?"

As an Alchemist, Xiao Gu was naturally quite arrogant.

But Master Qin said sternly, "That kid is no longer a good-for-nothing. Just go and invite him."

Although Xiao Gu didn’t understand, since it was the President’s request, he had no choice but to go and fetch Jiang Chen.

Inwardly, however, he held Jiang Chen in great contempt. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He knew the legends about Jiang Chen.

A hedonistic second-generation brat whose Martial Vein had even been dug out. This made him feel rather smug.

He headed straight for the Jiang Family estate.

Jiang Han, the Patriarch of the Jiang Family, could be said to be completely bewildered right now.

The great lady of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, Murong Xiangming, had just left, and now an Elder from the Alchemy Master Guild, Xiao Gu, had arrived.

He recognized this Xiao Gu.

He said respectfully, "Lord Xiao Gu, please, have a seat."

Xiao Gu sat down arrogantly in the Jiang Family’s main hall.

At this moment, many who saw Xiao Gu were trembling with apprehension.

This Xiao Gu was from the Alchemy Master Guild, after all.

One must understand that the Alchemy Master Guild was a terrifying existence, not something the Jiang Family could ever compare to.

In the Elixir business, the Jiang Family at most fed on the scraps left behind by the Alchemy Master Guild.

When it came to the Elixir business, the Alchemy Master Guild was naturally the most powerful.

They held a near-monopoly.

For families like the Jiang, Ximen, and Bai Families, being able to eat the leftovers was already quite good.

Therefore, this Xiao Gu was someone they absolutely could not afford to offend.

Jiang Han still didn’t know the purpose of his visit.

He asked uncertainly, "Lord Xiao Gu, may I ask what business brings you to our Jiang Family?"

He was as cautious as possible, afraid that if he angered the man, the Jiang Family’s business would be ruined.

Xiao Gu said haughtily, "Jiang Han, have your son come here. Our President wants to see him."

"And be quick about it."

Jiang Han was stunned.

His son, it seemed, had suddenly become a hot commodity.

Not only had the great lady of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion come to see him, but now even the President of the Alchemist Guild wanted to see him.

And they had even sent Elder Xiao Gu personally.

He hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Xiao Gu, please wait a moment. I’ll call my son over to go with you right away."
