Seeing Xuening’s expression suddenly become unnatural, Vice President Ouyang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, since Lord Dantai has allowed you to participate in this Alchemy Conference, he must not have intended to hide your identity.”

“After all, some of your alchemy techniques are identical to Lord Dantai’s. There are some things that can’t be hidden in alchemy.”

Vice President Ouyang’s tone was very calm when he said this.

Yao Changsheng nodded beside him: “Speaking of which, Lord Dantai Mingjing can also be considered my half-teacher. If it weren’t for Lord Dantai’s guidance back then, I might not have reached my current level.”

Yao Changsheng’s tone was filled with emotion.

Hearing these two old men’s words, Xuening’s heart suddenly relaxed a bit. But she also felt a sense of curiosity.

For many years, she and her grandfather and Little Ling had lived in Tianning City, but her grandfather had never been willing to talk about his past.

She knew that her grandfather had many stories, but she wasn’t very clear about what kind of person he used to be.

Su Jingzhen’s heart was also filled with the same curiosity.

Perhaps Elder Mu and Feng Qingya knew some things, but too many things had happened in the past few days.

Su Jingzhen hadn’t had a chance to ask yet.

Xuening looked at Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng in front of her: “Two seniors, what kind of person was my grandfather?”

“Lord Dantai is your grandfather?” Yao Changsheng’s eyes widened in surprise again.

Xuening nodded: “I’m Dantai Xuening!”

Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng looked at each other again, both nodding in understanding.

“Ah, that’s great!”

Vice President Ouyang sighed, his small eyes seemingly lost in thought.

“In those years, Qingzhou was a place where alchemists flourished. Your grandfather, Dantai Mingjing, was one of the most dazzling figures back then.”

“He could even be considered the number one alchemist in Qingzhou. At that time, he was only around forty years old and had already reached the sixth rank. There might have been other sixth-rank alchemists back then, but to achieve such a feat at his age, he was truly one of a kind!”

As soon as Vice President Ouyang finished speaking, Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s expressions changed again.

Su Jingzhen had never imagined that the old man who had lost an arm and a leg in that broken-down courtyard had once been so glorious.

As Vice President Ouyang spoke, his small eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia.

“After he broke through the sixth rank, Lord Dantai’s name became known throughout Qingzhou, and the Dantai family became one of the strongest families in Qingzhou. If things had gone as planned, the Dantai family would have become one of the ruling powers in Qingzhou under Lord Dantai’s leadership.”

Vice President Ouyang sighed and shook his head, continuing, “But at the height of the Dantai family’s prosperity, they suddenly vanished into thin air in one night.”

“No one knows who destroyed the Dantai family, and there were no surviving witnesses. All the cultivators in Qingzhou were guessing, thinking that Lord Dantai might have gone to the outside world and offended a stronger power.”

“But this was just speculation, and it was never confirmed. And from that day on, Lord Dantai Mingjing disappeared without a trace.”

Vice President Ouyang only briefly mentioned the past of the Dantai family. These events were not secrets to the older generation of cultivators. It was only in the past ten years that there was no news of the Dantai family, and people gradually forgot.

Hearing this, Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s eyes were filled with shock.

Combining this with the current appearance of Dantai Mingjing, Su Jingzhen could imagine many of the scenes he had faced back then.

Xuening’s eyes had a hint of sadness, and she could naturally understand the hardships her grandfather had faced while leading her and Little Ling in hiding in Tianning City.

However, regarding the experiences of the Dantai family, she had only heard these rumors and had not personally experienced them, making it difficult for her to fully understand.

She then asked again, “So, my Dantai family has a powerful enemy. I don’t know if you two seniors are here to capture me or to offer me protection?”

Xuening was a simple alchemist and didn’t like to think too much about these things, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t think at all.

Hearing this, Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng looked at each other again and shook their heads, laughing. “Since Lord Dantai has already chosen to let you appear in public, he must have already made all the necessary preparations and resolved all the issues. And as for us, we didn’t come with any other intentions. We just wanted to know how Lord Dantai is doing, as he was once our idol.”

Vice President Ouyang paused and then smiled, “Of course, if the Dantai family’s descendants are willing to join my Alchemist Association, it would be an honor for us.”

Hearing this, Xuening’s expression became complex again. “My grandfather is doing well.”

For now, she couldn’t tell if Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng were telling the truth or not, so she could only say this.

Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng nodded silently, not expecting to learn about Lord Dantai’s whereabouts from Xuening.

Of course, if he was safe and sound, they wouldn’t want to disturb him.

As for Xuening and Su Jingzhen, they naturally wanted to bring them into their respective factions. After all, such talents were hard to come by. But they also knew that it was not the right time yet.

Especially Yao Changsheng, he was very clear that if Feng Qingya didn’t resolve the issue with the Feng family, then there would be no chance for the Feng family to get involved with Su Jingzhen and Xuening.

These two old men didn’t stay in the small courtyard for long before silently leaving.

As time passed, the night fell quietly. After Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng left, the Flowing Wind Sword Sect and other second-tier powers, such as the Gao family and Qi Yun City, came to visit one after another.

Everyone wanted to try to win them over.

These second-tier powers were even more direct.

They directly took out various precious pill formulas and rare medicinal materials from their families and offered them to Xuening and Su Jingzhen. However, all of them were rejected.

Now, this small courtyard where they were staying was likely being watched by all the powerful forces in Yunmeng City. No one dared to use the same tactics as the Spirit Sound Inn here.

And from start to finish, neither Spirit Sound Valley nor the Feng family had sent anyone to visit.

The former, Sikong Tingyun, had already established a good relationship with Feng Qingya and didn’t need to make any more effort. The latter, however, might still be deciding how to face Feng Qingya…
