Chapter 2646: On-Site Guidance

"Both Zuo Fang and Ge Ling are top-tier third-grade celestial alchemists in Nine Cities. Anyone with a bit of effort can find out about them," said a city lord.

Hearing this, the crowd finally caught on, and their gazes toward Ye Yuan grew even more contemptuous.

But Su Peiyun and Huang Haoyan knew that Ye Yuan was not from Tiannan, so how could he have deliberately sought out such information?

Thus, there was only one possibility: he had discerned it himself.

Setting aside everything else, this alone was enough to be astonishing.

"Su Yi, you'd better keep a close eye on your precious daughter!" Sun Yunjing said, looking at Ye Yuan with a meaningful tone.

The subtext was that this young man was deeply calculating and had spent considerable effort to hook your daughter.

Su Yi caught the implication immediately, and his face darkened like the bottom of a pot.

His impression of Ye Yuan had never been good, and now it was even worse.

If not for his daughter's sake, he would have had someone break Ye Yuan's legs and throw him out.

A Great Extreme Heaven realm cultivator, showing off in front of a group of city lords—did he have any sense of the occasion?

Su Peiyun's pretty face flushed, and she was suddenly overcome with shyness.

Huang Haoyan, on the other hand, was furious.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "City Lord Sun, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you like! Peiyun is my woman! Isn't it inappropriate for you to play matchmaker so recklessly?"

At this, Su Peiyun's face turned even redder, and she almost buried her head in her collar.

Ye Yuan was somewhat surprised by Huang Haoyan's bluntness. This kid had always been timid in front of him, but now he was unexpectedly fierce.

Clearly, he truly loved Su Peiyun.

Sun Yunjing was taken aback, then burst into laughter. "Interesting, very interesting! You're Huang Nanshan's son, aren't you? Haha, I apologize to you! I really don't know much about you young people's affairs."

His laughter was unrestrained, making it even more suggestive.

The other city lords also burst into laughter, and Su Yi wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

He understood perfectly well what they were laughing about.

They were laughing that his daughter was a mess.

"Girl, what is the meaning of this?" Su Yi said darkly.

He rarely lost his temper with his daughter, but this time, he had reached his limit.

"Father, I... I..." Su Peiyun panicked, at a loss.

"There's nothing to it. Your daughter, out of filial piety, wanted to recruit me for you, so she brought me here. But it seems you're not exactly welcoming," Ye Yuan said calmly.

"Recruit you? Hah, a Great Extreme Heaven realm cultivator—what's there to recruit? You sure know how to flatter yourself! You think just because you did some homework, you're something special?" Sun Yunjing sneered.

Ye Yuan glanced at Sun Yunjing and said with deep meaning, "You're quite the jumper, aren't you?"

Sun Yunjing's face darkened. "Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"

Ye Yuan ignored him and turned to Su Peiyun. "Originally, I had no interest in joining Dingnan City, but now I've changed my mind."

Su Peiyun was overjoyed. "Senior Ye, are you serious?"

At that moment, Su Peiyun suddenly felt a bit grateful to Sun Yunjing.

If not for his constant provocation, Ye Yuan probably wouldn't have agreed to join Dingnan City.

At least she was certain that the force behind Ye Yuan was far stronger than Dingnan City.

Perhaps even comparable to Tiannan City!

Sun Yunjing found it amusing. "Kid, you sure can put on an act! You mean to say that by joining Dingnan City, we should all be careful?"

The city lords all burst into laughter.

In their eyes, Ye Yuan was nothing but an idiot, not worth recruiting at all.

They wondered what kind of spell Su Peiyun was under to be so fixated on him.

Ye Yuan looked at Sun Yunjing with some surprise. "It seems you're not that stupid after all."

With that, Ye Yuan flicked his finger.

A sword light shot straight toward Ge Ling.

Bang!

Ge Ling's alchemy was rudely interrupted.

He had been fully focused on refining, and the sudden disruption nearly made him lose his temper.

"Kid, are you asking for death?" Ge Ling stormed over to Ye Yuan, bellowing.

Ye Yuan's sudden move stunned everyone.

Was he joining Dingnan City just to sabotage them?

Hahaha, what a terrible teammate!

They thought he would say something threatening, but instead, he directly interrupted their own alchemist.

Facing Ge Ling's fury, Ye Yuan remained calm and waved his hand. "You don't need to continue. If you keep refining that way, you'll never beat Zuo Fang in a lifetime. Listen carefully to what I'm about to say, and use the auction time to repeatedly simulate it in your mind. In the next round, crush him!"

Ignoring Ge Ling's anger, Ye Yuan began to speak eloquently.

He had observed for a long time and was well aware of the minor flaws in Ge Ling's alchemy.

His guidance now struck at the core!

At first, Ge Ling was furious and nearly lost control, but Su Peiyun kept holding him back, preventing an outburst.

Soon, however, the expression on Ge Ling's face changed.

Sun Yunjing sneered, "A Great Extreme Heaven realm teaching a third-grade celestial alchemist how to refine—what a joke! If a few words could make someone stronger, anyone could be a celestial alchemist!"

Yet Ge Ling's expression grew increasingly serious.

Several other third-grade celestial alchemists present also showed thoughtful expressions.

Even Sun Yunjing began to sense something was off.

He didn't understand alchemy, but that didn't make him a fool.

Ge Ling's current expression was like that of a student, almost ready to kneel before Ye Yuan.

Sun Yunjing frowned and asked the person beside him, "Master Jiang Li, could it be that this kid actually has a point?"

This Jiang Li was even stronger than Zuo Fang.

But no one had yet forced him to reveal his hand.

Now, however, Jiang Li's expression showed great surprise.

When Sun Yunjing asked, he nodded. "The points he made are all Ge Ling's weaknesses. I noticed them too—Ge Ling's skill isn't weak, but because of his rough background, he can't control many details, which affects quality. I didn't expect this kid to see it after just a few glances. He's not simple!"

Sun Yunjing felt a chill run down his spine. "But can a few words really make Ge Ling stronger?"

Jiang Li shook his head with a smile. "How could that be? Knowing is one thing, doing is another. Besides, Ge Ling's alchemy has long formed fixed patterns, like handwriting—habits are hard to change. Even if he knows, he can't improve in a short time."

Sun Yunjing relaxed and sneered, "Let's see how this kid wraps things up!"

Just then, Ye Yuan suddenly said to Su Yi, "Arrange a private room. I need to give him some extra coaching."

Su Yi was taken aback, then quickly came to his senses and had someone arrange it.
