Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 41 No One Cares
"Madam Yin, the city lord invites you to the inner palace for a banquet."

The ranking at the banquet was also based on seating status. When Yin Qinghe heard the guards in the mansion say that she could enter the inner palace, she couldn't help but feel happy.

The city lord will personally host the banquet in the inner palace.

Although my late husband is no longer with us, at least I still have some face left...

After all, he had done a lot for the City Lord's Mansion in the past.

If the city lord is too cold and indifferent, even if someone is willing to work for the city lord's mansion in the future, I am afraid they will not do their best.

So Yin Qinghe led Qin Yu and Zhao Mengli into the inner palace.

After entering, although there were voices of conversation inside, there were also many pairs of eyes looking at the three of them.

Everyone knew Yin Qinghe and Zhao Mengli, and many of them cast burning gazes at them.

Even in this inner palace, there are many people who want to take advantage of this mother and daughter. Not only can they embrace the beauty, but they can also get the Danxin Thatched Cottage, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, Zhao Mengli's talent is obvious to everyone. Who knows, there might be one more alchemist in the future!

Among the three, Qin Yu was the only unfamiliar face.

The aura fluctuations on his body can only be described as mediocre. The only thing that can be said is that... he has a bit of good looks.

But, in this world, appearance is obviously not important!
Therefore, those gazes only stayed on him for a moment before moving away.

It seems that such people are simply not worthy of their attention.

In the banquet hall, maids brought in delicious dishes one after another.

The seats here are separate tables, Yin Qinghe is in the front, Qin Yu and Zhao Mengli are in the back, and there is also a table in front of them, on which there are all kinds of fine wine and spiritual fruits.

It’s just not as abundant as that in Yin Qinghe’s position.

The arrangements around are also similar, with the elders in front and the younger ones at the back.

Just as Qin Yu and the other two sat down, they heard a teasing laugh.

"Madam Yin, why are you attending the banquet alone?"

"Why, Master Zhao hasn't come back yet?!"

Hearing this voice, Yin Qinghe couldn't help but frowning. She raised her eyes and saw Cheng Yi walking towards her with a smug look on his face.

"Master Zhao didn't come, but he was willing to invite Madam to the inner palace for the banquet. The Lord City Lord is really kind!"

His words both praised the city lord and belittled Yin Qinghe, saying that she had no qualifications to come here.

Yin Qinghe looked very unhappy.

To be honest, she is not qualified to enter the inner palace.

When she came here she knew that she would be bullied, but there were things she had to do, so she had to come.

She did not respond to Cheng Yi, and even pretended not to see him at all.

Immediately, Cheng Yi's expression turned cold, his eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in them.

It's not that he didn't want to take a gentle approach. At the beginning, he went to propose a marriage for his younger generation, but was rejected.

Although his junior’s talent was slightly inferior to Zhao Mengli’s, the reason for being rejected was... he was too ugly!

Ugly rejection?!
He thought that he was humiliated, and thereafter he adopted many tough measures, even at all costs to poach the disciples and apprentices of Danxin Caotang.

He just wanted Yin Qinghe to surrender to him!
Cheng Yi wanted to scold, but this was the City Lord's Mansion, and it was the City Lord's birthday banquet. Even if he was extremely angry, he didn't dare to vent it at this time.

He would not be able to take responsibility if he disrupted the city lord's birthday party.

"Mrs. Yin, take care of yourself!"

He said something threatening in a low voice and walked away.

Yin Qinghe's expression did not change from beginning to end, and his threats seemed to have no effect.

Qin Yu, who was behind her, witnessed it all.

Now he knows his own strength, so he will not do anything stupid. If he pretends to be strong before he has enough strength, it will only bring disaster to himself!
Anyone who can sit here is not a simple person. Moreover, this person dares to show his intentions blatantly, which shows that he has no concerns at all.

Qin Yu's eyes were calm and he lowered his gaze, but he noticed out of the corner of his eye that he walked straight to the first row, which confirmed his guess.

As soon as Cheng Yi returned to his seat, a younger person behind him came over and asked, "Grandpa, how is it..."

His name is Cheng Hua, and he is Cheng Yi's most promising junior.

His talent and aptitude were relatively advanced in Linxian City, especially in alchemy, but his face was... extremely ugly.

It's like a car accident scene.

Qin Yu also couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy to grow up like this.

But even though she looks ugly, she has beautiful dreams!

While questioning, Cheng Hua looked at Zhao Mengli without any concealment, his eyes full of possessiveness.

This frightened the junior sister, and she looked panicked.

Fortunately, their desks were connected. Qin Yu reached out and held Zhao Mengli's small hand, and she slowly calmed down.

"Go back and sit down, what are you talking about?"

Cheng Yi was already very angry, so he scolded him.

"Grandpa, Master said that I have the potential to become an alchemist within ten years."

Cheng Hua's words made him feel less angry.

"You must work harder and strive to become an alchemist as soon as possible. Leave the rest to Grandpa!"

When saying this, Cheng Yi raised his voice a little, deliberately letting people around him hear it, as if he was showing off.

When everyone looked at him, he looked very proud.

For him, the most important thing about annexing Danxin Caotang is to gain some experience. If he has that experience, Cheng Hua's progress in becoming an alchemist will surely be accelerated.

As for women, Cheng Yi didn't care much.

"Thank you grandpa!"

Cheng Hua's face suddenly showed joy, thinking that what he had dreamed of was about to come true. When he looked in Qin Yu's direction again, his eyes were filled with passion.

Even his eyes stayed on Yin Qinghe for a moment!
damn thing!
There is a way to die!

Of course Qin Yu wasn't that stupid, he just silently took note of the two men.

Hold a grudge.

There is no need to shout it out loud!
Is it still called holding a grudge if you shout it out?

Are you afraid that others will kill you directly?

No one will let a person who holds a grudge against him live.

The feast continues.

Everyone started to move around, but Yin Qinghe did not move. She did not deliberately try to please those so-called "friends" in the past and ask them to make decisions for her.

Master Zhao is the best alchemist in Linxian City. Among those present here, how many have not received his kindness or favors?

However, when Cheng Yi bullied Danxin Caotang, no one stood up, which actually explains a lot.

If she asks again, all she gets is empty promises, and someone might even ask for something excessive.

As a result, there were only three of them in the banquet hall, making it quiet and cold.

"The city owner is here!"

As the voice was transmitted, everyone's attention was focused on it.
