Chapter 1789: Chapter 147: Master! Please Take a Risk!_3

“Junior Brother Pei is back.”

The place was rather lively amidst the chatter.

In just a short time, they warmly introduced Pei Xin’an and a group of followers into the Hundred Refinement Hall. Wang Ningxi and Wang Jidie were naturally among them.

Returning home gloriously, Elder Pei’s face was full of spring and pride, treating the other senior and junior brothers with much more affection than usual.

“Hmph!”

The Hundred Refinements True Monarch, who had been longing for Pei Xin’an, turned angry and said, “Unruly disciple, you have the nerve to come back?! Do you still have me as your Master in your heart?”

“Master~” Elder Pei hurriedly rushed forward, hugged the Hundred Refinements True Monarch’s leg, and cried, “It’s the disciple’s fault, but I had no choice.”

“What do you mean you had no choice?” Hundred Refinements True Monarch roared angrily, “That scoundrel Commandant Liu pushed you to Dongqian, and you really went? Why didn’t you ask me for help?”

“Master’s favor towards Xin’an is like a mountain, how could Xin’an possibly cause trouble for Master?” Elder Pei wiped his nose and tears on the True Monarch’s leg, “Wasn’t it just going to Dongqian? As long as I have talent, I can shine anywhere.”

“Nonsense, am I a person who fears trouble?” True Monarch said with a stern face, “I, Hundred Refinements, have spent my life avoiding trouble, but that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of it. If anyone dares to ride on me, I won’t let it pass quietly. Pei Xin’an, you’ve really disgraced me.”

Seeing True Monarch’s anger and seemingly intent to expel Pei Xin’an from the sect, all the senior and junior brothers rushed to persuade him.

Even the Eldest Princess Su Yun, who hadn’t yet left, couldn’t help but join the persuasion: “True Monarch, Elder Pei isn’t really at fault this time, you shouldn’t hold it against him.”

“Alright then, since the Eldest Princess is advising, I must show her some respect.” True Monarch said, conceding, “Pei Xin’an, you should quickly thank the Eldest Princess.”

“Xin’an thanks Your Highness the Eldest Princess, you truly are Xin’an’s savior.” Elder Pei immediately bowed repeatedly to the Eldest Princess Su Yun, “The great kindness of the Princess, Xin’an will never forget, and will repay even by being a servant or a horse.”

The Eldest Princess Su Yun looked bewildered.

Such great kindness already? Such unforgettable memories already? Somehow, she felt like she was being blackmailed by this seemingly sincere and straightforward master-disciple duo.

“Elder Pei, it’s just a small matter, you don’t need to worry too much about it.” The Eldest Princess Su Yun replied reluctantly.

“I will follow Your Highness’s command.” Elder Pei scrambled up.

With this manner, Wang Ningxi almost couldn’t hold back his laughter from the side.

Others only know Elder Pei has a bad temper, but they don’t know this old man has deep thoughts.

Wang Ningxi has a deep connection with Elder Pei, so naturally, he knows Elder Pei is a very smart person. How could he miss an opportunity to curry favor with the Eldest Princess Su Yun?

But this old man’s temper is quite stubborn, and he doesn’t just latch onto anyone’s influence.

Moreover, though Elder Pei has poor social skills, a loud temperament, and a sharp tongue, once he truly recognizes someone, he becomes truly loyal.

By saying this, he warmly grabbed Wang Ningxi and started introducing him to the Eldest Princess Su Yun and the Hundred Refinements True Monarch: “Your Highness, Master, this is Wang Ningxi from the Wang’s family in Dongqian Changning. He’s a world’s best genius, a future star in the artifact refining industry.”

Wang Ningxi also cooperatively greeted the two.

Currently only about fifty years old and having worked in artifact refining for a long time, his temperament is extremely pure and clean, his sky blue robe complements his handsome and refined appearance, exuding a certain ethereal charm.

The Hundred Refinements True Monarch glanced at Wang Ningxi indifferently and did not pay much attention.

Throughout his life, he had met countless so-called “artifact refining geniuses.” But over all these years, none had matched the talents of his youth.

True world’s best geniuses are not so easy to come by.

In contrast, the Eldest Princess Su Yun, less knowledgeable about the crafting realm, encouraged Wang Ningxi kindly and said, “I’ve heard of your Changning Wang Clan, it’s quite a remarkable family, destined to become a pillar family in both Da Qian and the entire Immortal Dynasty.”

“Thank you for your compliments, Your Highness.”

Wang Ningxi gracefully bowed in thanks, maintaining a demeanor neither humble nor arrogant.

“Cough, cough!”

The Hundred Refinements True Monarch did not give him face, coughed and bluntly said, “Since Xin’an praises you so highly, you must have some skills. Let’s see, this True Monarch will give you a few challenges. If you answer well, I wouldn’t mind mentoring a promising young elite. If not, it’s best to return from where you came and stop hanging around before this True Monarch.”

Having heard of the True Monarch’s temperament beforehand, Wang Ningxi was mentally prepared and calmly replied, “Please guide me, True Monarch.”

This time he came with the mission to persuade the Hundred Refinements True Monarch back to Dongqian. Without showing some true abilities, how could he succeed?

“Good, the young are formidable.” The True Monarch pondered for a moment and then presented a series of difficult questions, “Answer three of these five questions correctly, and you pass.”

“Ningxi will do his utmost.” Wang Ningxi maintained his composed demeanor, pondered briefly then found a place to start answering the questions on paper.
