The people coming and going were all the people she met at the island owner's mansion yesterday. The island was only that big, so the people she met were all familiar.

The house of the Chen Mansion is really luxurious, like a grand palace, with corridors on all sides, white jade floors, vermilion glazed tiles on the roof, and lifelike dragons and phoenixes carved on the pillars, entrenched in the clouds, soaring in the mist.

Gradually, the sound of water flowing from the front came, and the sound of splashing in the water could be vaguely heard. Behind the rockery, there was actually a green pool across the single-plank bridge, with precious green shanks planted around it. Going forward, Conveniently, it was the attic where they held the banquet. The servant led them into the water pavilion and then left.

When several alchemists coming and going saw her, they snorted coldly and did not give her a good look. Leng Qingning didn't care about the looks of these people.

"Do you know where your sister is being held?" Leng Qingning asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Haize whispered: "My sister was imprisoned in their family's ancestral hall by that old guy."

Ancestral hall, there should be a lot of people guarding this kind of place. She will go to the teleportation array later and take a look. It seems that she has to find a way to lure these people away.

"Hmph, Mr. Shen is so majestic. This No.1 who won the competition is different. It seems that we old guys are no longer useful. These juniors don't take us to heart when they see us. "

A strange voice came from behind. Leng Qingning turned around and saw Li Peisheng's smelly old face. He raised his nostrils to look at her. Surrounded by him were a group of flattering forces from all sides, including many. Most of them were the alchemists she had worked for in the island master's mansion, or some figures from aristocratic families who valued favors.

Many of these family members have never met her, so naturally they don't know about the big competition at the Island Lord's Mansion yesterday.

Although the alchemists who participated in the competition wanted to curry favor with her, Li Peisheng was the president of the Alchemy Association and had a force that could not be ignored on the entire island.

No matter how powerful this young man is, without the recognition of the Alchemist Association, it will be difficult for him to move forward. I am afraid that his career as an alchemist will come to an end from now on.

Why did they offend a big shot like Li Peisheng for the sake of an unknown junior?
Leng Qingning didn't seem to see the change in the expressions of these people. She plucked her ears and said with a cynical look: "Eh? Isn't this the defeated general yesterday? You look so ugly. Could it be because of yesterday? I won the alchemy competition held at the City Lord's Mansion, so I didn't sleep well the whole day after I went back, right?"

Li Peisheng's expression froze and his eyes evaded. After returning yesterday, he thought that he had lost to an unknown yellow-haired child. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, which kept him awake all night.

A man on his left was dressed gorgeously, wearing a navy blue satin and a magical weapon. He should be a man from a big family and said: "What kind of competition? Mr. Li, this kid must be talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

"Where is this second young master? It's your lady's birthday today. How come anyone can come in on such a good day?"

The louder the man's voice got, the uglier Mr. Li's face became, and the smile on Leng Qingning's face deepened. "It turns out that everyone doesn't know. Yesterday, Mr. Li narrowly lost to me at the Island Lord's Mansion. My No.1 was assigned by the island owner himself. Could it be that Mr. Li has grudges against me, so... …”

"Mr. Shen, it is indeed rare that you have achieved such an achievement at such a young age, but you should remember that a big tree attracts the wind, is too strong and breaks easily, and being too ostentatious is not a good thing." After saying these words, Mr. Li's face turned uglier than an eggplant.

And what he said this time proved that what Leng Qingning said was true. He indeed lost to this young man yesterday.

Everyone was shocked, and their eyes were restlessly looking back and forth between him and Mr. Li. But at this moment, no one dared to speak. Everyone involuntarily approached Mr. Li's side, secretly pushing Leng Qingning away. .

Haize couldn't stand the intrigues of humans and said in her ear: "I'm going to find my sister first." "Then you should be more careful. If you are exposed, you must run away first."

Haize raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, my strength has greatly increased now, it will be difficult for those people to catch me." Then, his figure quietly disappeared into the crowd.

At this moment, Chen Shaoqian came over with Han Xuexin and a man who looked somewhat similar to him but was stronger.

"Mr. Shen, you really made it easy for me to wait. But you are finally here. I thought you wouldn't come?"

The strong man who looks very similar to Chen Shaoqian is Chen Shaoxing, the eldest son of the Chen family.

When he saw Leng Qingning, he immediately gave her a hearty smile, "So you are the amazing alchemist that my second brother mentioned. I didn't expect you to be so young. You are really better than the old!"

"The eldest son deserves the prize. It's my luck to win this time."

"You are so humble, but how did you recognize me?"

Leng Qingning blinked and said: "You and the second young master are very similar."

Chen Shaoxing suddenly realized this.

When everyone saw that Master Chen was so polite to her, they looked at Leng Qingning even more surprised!
What kind of bad luck did this kid have to be so appreciated by the Chen family?
Leng Qingning looked into the eldest son's eyes with some surprise, and saw that he had a clear face and generous manner. He seemed to be a person with a good personality and easy to get along with.

But, in this mysterious and complicated Chen Mansion, is he really that innocent on the outside?

Human nature is complex, and Leng Qingning cannot easily judge anyone.

"The banquet is about to start. Everyone, please come with me." Chen Shaoqian glanced at her with a smile. Han Xuexin was not seen at the banquet. Leng Qingning followed the crowd to a huge peach tree.

The rich fragrance of peach blossoms hits your face. Below is a neatly arranged banquet. Everyone is sitting around, raising glasses and drinking together.

Leng Qingning chose a remote corner to sit down and watched everyone drinking and drinking. She didn't drink, and she kept thinking about how to get out.

Peach blossoms are falling in the wind, butterflies are flying on the branches and birds are chirping. Looking at all this, Leng Qingning always has an unreal feeling. It is obviously an extremely lively scene, why does she always have an unreal feeling? ?
Leng Qingning secretly held her breath, not to smell the peach blossom fragrance.

At this moment, Chen Shaoqian slowly walked towards her with a wine glass in his hand, "Mr. Shen, could it be that today's wine is not to your liking? How about I send someone to change it for another one?"

"Young Master Chen, you're welcome. This wine is very good. It's just that I haven't been feeling well lately and I'm not suitable for drinking. Don't take it off, Second Young Master." Chen Shaoqian really came here for her. He was urging her to drink. Could it be that the wine was poisoned? What is it?
