The Strongest Dandy in the City

Chapter 2476 - 2465: Following

The entire Alchemy Plaza was silent.Wu Qishui looked at the White Jade Stele that showed no reaction at all, with a face as if he had swallowed excrement.

He quickly withdrew his hand from the White Jade Stele, then pressed it back on again.

But the White Jade Stele still showed no reaction whatsoever.

Wu Qishui repeatedly withdrew his palm and pressed it back on.

After trying ten times like this, he couldn’t help but shake his head. He was an alchemy genius! Wu Zhiming personally said so, and he had just been enveloped by purple light.

How could the White Jade Stele have no reaction?

This was absolutely impossible!

Wu Tianfu’s eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, as he fixed his gaze on a Wu Family disciple and said, "You try pressing your palm on it."

That Wu Family disciple was a Level Three Alchemist, so naturally, he dared not disobey Wu Tianfu’s order.

As soon as his palm touched the White Jade Stele, it immediately emitted an orange light.

This clearly indicated that there was nothing wrong with the White Jade Stele; the issue was with Wu Qishui.

Wu Zhiming’s face was full of bewilderment: "It’s too strange. Although he absorbed the Profound Meaning beneath the plaza and even caused visions, his alchemy level hasn’t even reached average?"

With these words from Wu Zhiming.

Wu Qishui’s face turned even paler; he felt as if he had fallen from heaven into hell. He had already considered himself an alchemy genius, believing he could receive substantial cultivation from the Wu Family headquarters, perhaps even entering the core of the Wu Family headquarters.

Who knew things would take such a massive 180-degree turn?

The surprise came too quickly, and it left just as quickly.

The White Jade Stele was the most precise test of alchemical talent within the Wus, rarely making mistakes. This meant that Wu Qishui’s alchemical talent was indeed below average, hinting at just how poor his alchemical talents truly were.

Wu Tianfu placed a hand on Wu Qishui’s shoulder, but after carefully sensing for anything from his body and finding nothing: "With such poor alchemical talent, yet able to absorb the Profound Meaning beneath the plaza, it truly is too odd."

"Let’s arrange for them to stay here for now!"

With that said.

Wu Tianfu put away the White Jade Stele, and his figure quickly disappeared from the plaza.

Wu Lingxiang, who initially had no interest in Wu Qishui, didn’t want to linger a second longer after discovering his great lack of alchemical talent. She promptly left the Alchemy Plaza as well.

As for Wu Huaqing and Wu Yanwen, who had just been friendly toward Wu Qishui, they no longer wanted to pay attention to him. Their friendliness was predicated on Wu Qishui possessing unmatched alchemical talent.

Now that they knew Wu Qishui’s alchemical talent was extremely poor, as two geniuses of the Wu family, they were hardly likely to look at him again!

Wu Huaqing and Wu Yanwen did not want to stay any longer either. They greeted Wu Zhiming and then left directly.

Most of the other Wu family disciples present were the ones who had been practicing alchemy on the plaza earlier.

In their view, the failure in alchemy just now was entirely caused by Wu Qishui, and Wu Qishui had even absorbed the Profound Meaning beneath the plaza, significantly reducing its effectiveness for them in the future.

If Wu Qishui truly were an alchemy genius, they might have accepted it, but now that his alchemical talent was not even average, one could just imagine how angry they were with Wu Qishui.

In the crowd, Wu Gui and Wu Lingyu, upon seeing this result, even Wu Lingyu had a smile on her lips.

After all, Wu Qishui had just been sending arrogant messages to Wu Gui, acting as if he was a triumphant petty person.

Ye Chenfeng maintained a calm expression as he had long anticipated such a result.

With Wu Zhiming present, even if the other Wu Family headquarters’ disciples were displeased and outraged with Wu Qishui, they dared not act.

Wu Zhiming said to Wu Qishui, "Your physical condition is very special; further observation is needed later."

Wu Zhiming’s words seemed like the last straw for Wu Qishui.

He very much enjoyed the feeling of being enveloped in purple light just now, a feeling of radiant brilliance, and he kept telling himself, "Maybe something went wrong, and my alchemical talent wasn’t detected; surely it must be that way."

As Wu Qishui mumbled to himself inside his mind.

Wu Zhiming sensed the presence of Ye Chenfeng and Wu Ren among the crowd: "Follow me; I’ll arrange a place for you to stay."

They followed Wu Zhiming into the Wu Family headquarters.

Finally, Wu Zhiming arranged for Ye Chenfeng and others to stay in a relatively spacious courtyard.

This courtyard had many rooms.

Wu Zhiming said, "For the next few days, you will stay here, waiting for the resource competition among the Six Great Hidden Sects to begin. Normally, it’s best not to step out of the yard without permission."

"There are many formations set up within the Wu Family headquarters, and if you accidentally enter or intrude upon certain places, you might not even know how you died."

"If anything comes up, you can use the Messaging Jade Token to send me a message, and I’ll come to help you solve it."

After Wu Zhiming left.

Wu Gui looked at Wu Qishui with a meaningful gaze: "So, our alchemy genius, didn’t you want to make them roll out of the Wu Family headquarters? Roll down Ascend Heaven Mountain?"

Wu Qishui had a gloomy look in his eyes: "Just wait and see! Just a minor mishap prevented my alchemical talent from being detected; otherwise, why would I have been enveloped by purple light? Why wouldn’t it envelop you?"

Wu Ren and Wu Yuancài, the two ancestors of the branch lineage, immediately stepped up to reprimand Wu Gui and Wu Qishui.

The group temporarily each chose a room in the courtyard to rest.

As night fell darker and darker.

At midnight,

Ye Chenfeng, in his room, maintained a solemn expression.

Earlier, when Wu Tianfu left the Alchemy Plaza.

Old Bai and Old Hei secretly attached a trace of their aura to Wu Tianfu.

After all, that old man Wu Tianfu was peculiar.

With Old Bai’s and Old Hei’s aura on Wu Tianfu, at least within the Wu Family headquarters, they could clearly detect Wu Tianfu’s location.

Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, said, "Little guy, it’s late, yet he’s moving as if he’s going somewhere. We should follow and take a look. With Old Hei and me around, we can at least prevent you from being discovered."

Upon hearing this.

Ye Chenfeng quietly left his room and exited the courtyard.

Under the guidance of Old Bai and Old Hei, he began to track Wu Tianfu.
