Chapter 196 Meeting at the Inn
Luo Chonglou thought about his son's eyes today, pondered for a moment, and rejected the proposal.
Once he adopts Pei Cangli as his adopted daughter, there will be no possibility for Luo He and Pei Cangli.
At this time, the alchemy elder proposed a new idea, "We can worship Pei Cangli as the saint of our Luo family. In this way, she will also belong to the Luo family and will naturally stay in the Luo family."
As soon as this proposal was made, several elders expressed their agreement.
The next question is who to send to talk to Pei Cangli about this matter?
The others all looked at the alchemy elder, but he quickly waved his hands and said with an evasive look:
"Although Pei Cangli learned alchemy from me, her alchemy attainments are higher than mine, so I basically didn't teach her much."
After hearing this, the elders felt relieved. They thought that the old man was hiding something.
After all this time, it turns out that Pei Cangli is self-taught, that's fine, no one can laugh at anyone else.
After discussing for a long time, they decided to let Luo He talk to Pei Cangli. After all, they were the first two to know each other, and this would create a chance for them to get along.
When Luo He received this task, he looked reluctant. He didn't want Pei Cangli to think that he was using their friendship to make a deal with her.
After seeing Pei Cangli, Luo He was speechless for a long time.
Pei Cangli could see that he had something to talk to her about, but he kept talking about irrelevant things and didn't get to the point.
"Luo He, what do you want to talk to me about? Just tell me directly."
Luo He saw that Pei Cangli had seen through his thoughts, so he slowly said, "Our family would like to invite you to be the saint of our Luo family."
Saint? Why does this title sound familiar? She seems to have been called a saint by others?
No, it seems others call her goddess, not saint.
"Luo He, can you tell me the reason? I've been here for so long, but I haven't seen a saint girl in your Luo family."
Seeing Pei Cangli was looking at him, Luo He knew he couldn't lie to her anymore and told her the truth.
I thought Pei Cangli would blame him, but Pei Cangli agreed after listening to him.
If you just want to keep her, then she can be the saint, as long as she is not sent to die.
The day of the alchemy conference soon arrived.
All the families in the Phantom World will send people to participate, this is their big day.
The competition in the alchemy conference, to a certain extent, determines the strength and status of each family.
Therefore, every year, people from each small family would try their best and pay high prices to invite some famous alchemists.
This year, the Luo family has Pei Cangli, so the whole team is filled with joy, which is the confidence that each of them has in Pei Cangli.
Pei Cangli didn't have any special expression. She just felt that she had participated in this kind of thing several times and achieved good results.
Pei Cangli understood that it was her body and the memories of the original owner that affected her, so she had this feeling.
A third-rate family like their Luo family was not qualified to stay in a special courtyard and could only find an inn to stay in.
As for the first-class and second-class families, they have their own special places, but sometimes when there are too many people coming, they will specially book an inn.
Next to the inn where Pei Cangli and his friends stayed was the inn booked by the Shangguan family.
Pei Cangli was reminded by Luo He early in the morning that if he met anyone from the Shangguan family and the Xuanyuan family, he should avoid them if possible.
These are the two first-class families in the Netherworld. They have been in this position for many years. They have the final say on all matters, big or small, in the Netherworld.
She wasn't the type to cause trouble, so she stayed in her room early in the morning, sorting out the pills she brought with her.
Inside the inn room, sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, casting a tranquil light and shadow.
Pei Cangli sat quietly at the table, his chin in his hand, with a hint of confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.
She didn't know whether her alchemy skills were from the original owner's memory or she had really made alchemy before.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a man in black slowly walked into the room.
The moment his eyes met Pei Cangli, he was slightly startled, as if attracted by some mysterious power.
Pei Cangli also looked at him at the same time, their eyes met, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The man was wearing a black robe, he had an upright posture and an extraordinary temperament, but his face looked a little pale.
There was a heroic look in his brows, yet also a hint of confusion.
Looking at Pei Cangli, the woman in front of him was wearing a light blue dress, her long hair was like a waterfall, her eyes were like stars, she was beautiful and mysterious.
They stared at each other quietly, feeling an indescribable sense of familiarity in their hearts, but they didn't know where this familiarity came from.
There was a sense of tension and anticipation in the air, as if countless stories were waiting to be revealed.
"You are...have we met somewhere before?" The man broke the silence first, his voice low and magnetic.
Pei Cangli shook his head slightly, his eyes also full of doubts: "I don't know if we have met before, but when I see you, I feel very familiar."
They approached slowly, looking each other over.
The man's eyes fell on Pei Cangli's face, trying to find some clues of memory from the delicate outline.
Pei Cangli was also observing the man. His eyes and his breath made her feel inexplicably at ease.
"My name is Pei Cangli, what's yours?" Pei Cangli said softly.
Hearing this name, the man seemed to be electrocuted, and some fragments suddenly emerged in his mind.
The man muttered to himself "Little white flower?"
When Pei Cangli suddenly heard this name, for a moment she felt as if someone had called her that before.
The man calmed himself down, looked up at the woman in front of him and said:
"My name is Xuan Shang. When I first saw you, I felt that we were very familiar. At this moment, there seem to be more fragments of being with you in my mind."
Hearing this, Pei Cangli looked at Xuan Shang in shock. This man had just met her, so why was he suddenly talking about being with her?
Could he be a lecher? Or some kind of playboy?
Xuan Shang looked Pei Cangli up and down, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt. However, the more he looked, the more alert he became.
He asked tentatively, "Miss Pei, haven't you started practicing yet?"
Pei Cangli nodded and said, "I am an alchemist, but I can't practice."
Hearing this, Xuan Shang was even more surprised. He was an alchemist, but he couldn't practice?
Glancing at Xuan Shang, Pei Cangli also asked, "Mr. Xuan, you are also an alchemist. Are you here to participate in the alchemy conference?"
"I am indeed here to participate in the alchemy conference, but I am not an alchemist, I am a talisman maker."
As soon as the word "Talisman Maker" came out, Pei Cangli took a step back vigilantly.
He asked, "What is your relationship with the Shangguan family?"
Seeing Pei Cangli suddenly take a step back, Xuan Shang felt very uncomfortable.
It seemed that in his heart, they should stay together instead of being so far away.
"To be precise, it doesn't matter. It's just that my talisman-making skills are very powerful, so I will stay in Shangguan's house for the time being."
It seemed that it was somewhat similar to her experience, but Pei Cangli did not mention it.
