Chapter 107: Chapter 107: An Old Acquaintance Seems to Return (Part 3)
How could Wuchen possibly appear here?
At that thought, she chuckled silently and shook her head, when suddenly, her eyes landed on a jade pendant lying on the bedsheet.
Upon picking up the jade pendant, Mu Ruyue was astonished after seeing the unique characters engraved on it, “Isn’t this the jade pendant that Wuchen wears? Why is it here? Could it be that it wasn’t a dream?”

Inside the conference hall of the Alchemy Conference, the Chairman glanced at the elder sitting before him and let out a cold snort through his nostrils, “Isn’t this Master Wu Yu? How do you have the time to visit me?”
He was obviously still holding a grudge against the elder, who had chosen to join a Sect instead of the Alchemy Conference back then.
“My disciple is here, how could I not come?” Wu Yu swept him a glance, calmly pouring himself a cup of tea, not bothering to squabble with him.
The two elders were at loggerheads, making Elder Huo and Elder He next to them break out in a cold sweat.
“Your disciple?” The Chairman raised an eyebrow, “Everyone knows Master Wu Yu is highly particular; when did you take a disciple?”
“My disciple is none other than the champion of this Alchemy Conference, Mu Ruyue.” Master Wu Yu mentioned his disciple with a look of pride, completely unaware of the Chairman’s face, which changed in an instant.
“You…you’re saying Miss Yue is your apprentice?” The Chairman was completely stunned; he never imagined that youngster’s master would be Wu Yu.
With this old man’s personality, how could he possibly hand over his disciple to him?
Wu Yu glanced at Elder Qin, who seemed shocked, and slightly raised his eyebrows, “I hear my disciple was bullied here, but then again, as the older generation, we should not interfere too much with the disputes of the young, should we, Elder Qin?”

The Chairman was startled. This old man was inherently protective; when had he ever let people off so easily? Not to mention young Qin Feifei was too inexperienced; this old man was not the kind to show mercy to the younger generation.
“However, I heard that Chairman Elder Qin supported that girl named Qin Feifei, using the medicinal ingredients my disciple revived, allowing that Qin Feifei to take the credit?”
Wu Yu had hit the nail on the head.
The Chairman let out a bitter laugh, knowing he would have to deal with Elder Qin, or this old fella would definitely not let it go.
“Since the Qin Family has offended Madam Sheng Yue, we cannot keep Elder Qin here any longer. Elder Qin, you should go back to your Qin Family. The Alchemy Conference cannot afford to venerate such a lofty god like you.”
Elder Qin’s face changed, “Chairman!”
“Do you have something to say, Elder Qin?” The Chairman swept a cold gaze over Elder Qin’s pale face.
He had been displeased with Elder Qin for a while now; after all, he was just a minor elder who had tried several times to overstep his bounds. This time was just an excuse to cleanse the Alchemy Conference a bit.
Moreover, it might earn him a favor from Wu Yu.
Despite their confrontations, in the Chairman’s heart, an Elder Qin did not weigh as much as Elder Wu Yu, not to mention their past friendship, but also considering Mu Ruyue, the master of the Phoenix Tripod.
“Then I shall take my leave.” With a face ashen, Elder Qin didn’t glance at the Chairman and walked out.
Elder Huo watched his departing figure and frowned slightly, “Chairman, you’re well aware of Elder Qin’s actions lately; he wants to replace you. Kicking him out like this might make him hold a grudge, and he could look for ways to cause trouble for the Alchemy Conference secretly.”
“If he really does that, then there is no need to keep him around.”
