Su Chen actually just casually called out, not knowing Lan Xinyi had such complicated inner thoughts.

It was really nothing, he saw Lan Xinyi wearing a swimsuit and said, "You're also here for a soak," isn't that quite normal!

But sometimes a woman's thoughts are like a puzzle to men, one that they'll never be able to solve!

Since she's already here, it was impossible for Lan Xinyi to leave, so she could only sit down beside Su Chen.

You know, normally when she's at home, Lan Xinyi often wears traditional clothes, which doesn't really show, but at this moment, her curvy figure was fully revealed!

Seeing Su Chen staring at her, Lan Xinyi felt even more flustered!

She wanted to move a bit further from Su Chen but felt that would be too deliberate, worried that Su Chen would overthink, so she pretended to sit naturally beside him!

Actually, Su Chen wouldn't really touch Lan Xinyi, of course, it's not like he never did, but that was when several women were together, sometimes when fooling around, intentionally or unintentionally, taking a little advantage!

Then Su Chen casually started chatting with Lan Xinyi, it was all idle chat, not constraining what they talked about.

Lan Xinyi's mood also slowly relaxed a bit, but Su Chen's occasional gaze still made her heartbeat quicken!

No wonder, after all, sitting next to a beauty, and she's wearing a swimsuit with such a great figure, who could resist looking?

If someone can, they must have a problem, or they're pretending!

So when Su Chen was chatting with her, Lan Xinyi's mind wasn't on the conversation, she just responded intermittently, after half an hour, she said she was done soaking, and hurriedly left.

This left Su Chen a bit puzzled, what's up with this woman?

Su Chen didn't think much of it, kept soaking for a while longer, then got up and went back to his room.

...

Time passed quickly, after breakfast this morning, Su Chen said goodbye to the ladies and drove away from the villa!

Although the ladies felt a bit reluctant, they didn't say anything, after all, this time he was only going out for a day or two, or maybe two or three days.

Su Chen was naturally heading out to attend that elixir conference, he is currently quite focused on the alchemy path, hoping this time to gain something!

This alchemy conference was held in Qi City, Huaxia, a city with a long history, quite far from Yandu, so Su Chen decided not to take the helicopter.

After arriving at Yandu Airport, he waited for a few hours before boarding the plane.

That's normal, nowadays flight delays are pretty commonplace.

Soon after, the plane slowly ascended and flew towards Qi City...

Qi City was indeed far, only at eight or nine o'clock at night did he arrive at an airport in a big city near Qi City.

Su Chen thought it was already late, and since the elixir conference would only be held tomorrow, he casually found a hotel near the airport to stay.

As for dinner, Su Chen settled it in the hotel's restaurant downstairs.

After dinner, he went back to his room.

Having slept for a few hours on the plane, he started cultivating again.

Of course, without the Gathering Yuan Formation, he practiced the "Supreme Star Shifting Technique."

Although the stellar power stored in his body was already adequate, the more the better!

Su Chen cultivated until almost dawn, then took a shower and rested for a while.

The next morning around eight or nine, after eating breakfast at the hotel, he took a cab to nearby Qi City.

After arriving in Qi City, it took some time for Su Chen to find the address on the invitation.

It was a large villa located halfway up a hill in the suburbs, larger than average villas, also looking more magnificent.

"What are you doing here!"

Just as Su Chen was about to reach the door, a man suddenly appeared before Su Chen, questioning him.

Su Chen couldn't help but glance at the man, feeling somewhat familiar, after thinking for a moment, he finally remembered.

Turns out this man was the one following Qiu Yufei the first time he met her!

Back then, the man showed a faint hostility towards him, at least wasn't polite, but Su Chen couldn't be bothered with him.

He was greeting guests at the door when he saw Su Chen approaching and came over!

"Do I need to ask your permission where I go?"

Since the man wasn't polite, Su Chen naturally didn't need to be polite either!

"Hmph, this is the elixir conference held by Myriad Medicine Pavilion, do you think I have the right to speak?"

The man said arrogantly:

"If you know what's good for you, stay far away, don't make me 'invite' you away!"

He emphasized the word "invite" heavily, with a mocking smile on his face!

In his view, this guy wasn't part of any alchemy forces, naturally unqualified to attend this alchemy conference!

Su Chen heard this and snorted coldly:

"Oh, it looks like you're in charge of everything at Myriad Medicine Pavilion!"

Su Chen knew that this guy was following behind Qiu Yufei back then and even called her the young mistress!

Which indicates that at the very least, Qiu Yufei's status at Myriad Medicine Pavilion is much higher than this man in front of him!

His invitation was personally given by Qiu Yufei, so this man naturally has no right to say anything!

The man blushed upon hearing Su Chen's retort!

Because even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to claim he's in charge at Myriad Medicine Pavilion!

"What's going on with you two?"

Just then, another voice sounded at the door.

When both turned their heads, they saw a pretty woman in a long skirt walking over, who else could it be but Qiu Yufei!

"Mr. Su, you've arrived!"

Seeing Su Chen, Qiu Yufei's eyes lit up beautifully.

Upon hearing Qiu Yufei, the man's heart skipped a beat!

Thinking back, Qiu Yufei seemed somewhat special towards this man, perhaps inviting him wasn't impossible!

"Young mistress, is he your guest?"

The man couldn't help but ask.

Qiu Yufei nodded and naturally said:

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"Young mistress, this is an elixir conference of the Ancient Martial World, what qualification does he have to attend!"

The man said unkindly.

"He Shijie, what do you mean, do I need your consent to invite a guest?"

Hearing this, Qiu Yufei was slightly displeased.

"Young mistress, you misunderstood."

Seeing Qiu Yufei's apparent displeasure, He Shijie quickly spoke:

"I just think, after all this is the elixir conference, and it's organized by our Myriad Medicine Pavilion this year, isn't it inappropriate to invite an outsider?!"
