The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

As soon as Mingyu Caihe finished posting the notice, some busybodies gathered around and read it aloud word by word to some of the more unhelpful people around them.

"What?! The Sixth Elder, the 'housewife killer,' delivered a spiritual medicine and was kicked away by Elder Nangong, and he was even happy about it?! What kind of master and disciple is this? Isn't this ungrateful?" After hearing the notice, someone immediately stood up for Xiao Xuanyuan and angrily accused Nangong Wan of being unfair.

"That's right, that's right! My disciple worked so hard to obtain the Ten Absolute Immortal Flowers, such a spiritual medicine, to present to Master, only to be kicked out of the palace gates without any courtesy. And Master was even happy about it?! Heavens, how can there be such a hateful Master? How could the Elder, the 'Lady Killer,' have such an unrespecting Master? Heaven and earth are unjust, the Great Dao is unjust!" Someone immediately echoed, their expression equally indignant.

"Hey, how can you talk about the Palace Master like that? The Palace Master is innocent. That day, it was indeed as the notice said. The Palace Master was just acting on a whim. Don't slander the Palace Master!" Hearing the crowd's words of dissatisfaction with the Palace Master, Mingyu Caihe couldn't stand it anymore and squeezed into the crowd to argue with them.

However, this only earned them boos from the crowd, who mocked them, saying, "You are maids of Luoyun Palace, of course you'll side with Elder Nangong, you can say whatever you want."

“If you don’t say that, Elder Nangong will probably whip you, right? I understand your predicament. Well then, you should go back quickly, lest Elder Nangong cause you trouble,” another old man in hemp clothing advised.

"That's it"

"Really, it's really not what you think, it's not like that at all!" Mingyu Caihe was so anxious that she was almost crying, but the others didn't want to hear their explanations and left the two maids to talk amongst themselves.

"Listen to me, Elder Nangong is pure and gentle, she doesn't seem like that kind of person at all. This notice was posted to avoid suspicion, otherwise, how could Elder Nangong do something as absurd as beating up a filial disciple? The purpose of this notice is very obvious, it's to confuse the public and make us all think that Elder Nangong and the 'housewife killer' Elder Liu are having a conflict and have a bad relationship. It's a lie, a lie!" A pockmarked young man with a face who loved to watch the drama stepped forward, put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, and slowly expressed his opinion.

"That makes sense. Now that you've said it, the relationship between these two elders is even more complicated. Well, this is a big juicy story, enough for us onlookers to enjoy, hehe!" Someone immediately chimed in, and everyone was talking with great interest, munching on sunflower seeds as they discussed and listened.

"Yes, Elder Nangong might already be secretly trying to conceive for Elder Liu, the 'housewife killer,' and preparing to have a baby!"

"My goodness!"

Mingyu and Caihe slapped their foreheads, almost fainting. What was this nonsense? It was getting more and more outrageous, more and more exaggerated, and more and more illogical. At this moment, Mingyu and Caihe felt dizzy and disoriented.

Meanwhile, after notices from Luoyun Palace were posted on bulletin boards everywhere, the same scene kept repeating itself.

As Caihe recounted her story about Mingyu and the reactions of the crowd after the notices were posted on the bulletin boards, Nangong Wan's hands, gripped the armrests of the armchair so tightly that they snapped to pieces with a "crack." This startled Mingyu and Caihe, who nearly lost control of their bladders and embarrassed themselves on the spot.

The atmosphere in the palace gradually became oppressive. Nangong Wan's face was as black as charcoal. She felt dizzy and almost fainted from anger. She gritted her teeth, making a grinding sound, and said, "You brat, I'll tear you to pieces! Tear you to pieces!"

---Aside---

Look! The pure, elegant, and beautiful Elder Nangong has been driven to madness by these rumors!

Chapter 53 Master, please don't slap me in the face

When the storm passed, everything returned to calm. Nangong Wan was half-arched, panting heavily. She saw that the armchairs around her were smashed to pieces, and all the tables, chairs, teacups, and benches in the palace that could be smashed had been smashed. Everything had been ransacked, leaving only debris on the ground and traces of the storm.

"Mingyu, Caihe, gather everyone in the palace and come with me!"

Although her anger had subsided somewhat, Nangong Wan was still not satisfied. She ordered her two maids, Mingyu and Caihe, to summon people. She gathered almost half of the maids and servants of Luoyun Palace, and the group headed towards Luonan Palace, which was ten miles away.

As a peak nine-star Dou Wang level expert, Nangong Wan was naturally fast. However, most of the maids and servants of Luoyun Palace were below the Dou Zhe level. The strongest among them were maids who were Dou Ling level experts. Of course, Luoyun Palace had its own elder guard team, which consisted entirely of women. Most of them were at the Great Dou Shi level, with the strongest being the captain, Fu Nan, who was at the five-star Dou Ling level.

The group from Luoyun Palace made a grand and imposing entrance. Nangong Wan led the way, with Mingyu and Caihe serving on either side. They were guarded by a team of twenty-two all-female guards and nearly a hundred maids and servants. They marched towards Luoyun Palace in a grand and blatant manner.

About half an hour later, the group from Luoyun Palace finally arrived at the gate of Luonan Palace, completely blocking the entrance and preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

The news had already reached the ears of Palace Master Xiao Xuanyuan. Upon hearing that it was Nangong Wan who had come to cause trouble, he was shocked and almost fell off the leisurely reclining chair. "My goodness, this woman has come to cause trouble time and time again. Does she really think that Nangong is a soft persimmon that she can be squeezed again and again?"

"Fairy, you and Xiao Nianxiao stay here for now. I'll be right back. Lingning, Bingli, you two quickly inform the guard captain, Gong Long, to come with me to meet those women from Luoyun Palace!" Xiao Xuanyuan said fiercely, but this involuntarily pulled at a bruised muscle on his face, causing him to wince in pain. Damn it, this woman is too ruthless.

"Xuanyuan, be careful!" Although the Flower Fairy was a little worried, she also knew how powerful her man was. If they really fought, Elder Nangong would definitely not be his match. He had been getting beaten up a lot lately, but it was just that her man was deliberately letting him win. She knew her man's thoughts all too well, so she could only sigh inwardly.

A successful and powerful man is never short of beautiful women around him. She probably couldn't control him alone, so she just let him have his way.

Half an hour later, Xiao Xuanyuan led Luo Nangong and his entourage out in a grand procession, confronting Luo Yungong's group at the palace gate. The two sides stared at each other, neither willing to yield. Although Luo Nangong had just been established and its numbers were less than half that of Luo Yungong, most of them were men, and their imposing presence was not inferior to that of Luo Yungong!

"You brat, get out here right now!"

Xiao Xuanyuan glanced around and quickly found his cheap master among the group from Luoyun Palace. There was no way around it; Nangong Wan was just too beautiful and had an excellent temperament. Even among the women of Luoyun Palace, she stood out like a crane among chickens, making all the other women pale in comparison. It was like a group of green leaves setting off a big red flower, making it hard not to be eye-catching!

"Alright, it was all a misunderstanding. Everyone, please disperse."

Upon seeing Nangong Wan, Xiao Xuanyuan stared at her for a moment, only to be startled by her cold gaze. He was almost scared out of his wits. Just as he was wondering how to make a move, he hurriedly waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.

While Luo Nangong and his group were completely bewildered and hesitating whether to listen to their leader, the women of Luo Yun Palace remained motionless, their gazes fixed on Luo Nangong, especially on Xiao Xuanyuan, with unfriendly intent.

"You brat, get your ass over here right now!"

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan turned to run away, he heard a thunderous shout behind him, startling him so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His neck, as if mechanical, turned around with difficulty. Like a face-changing act in Peking Opera, his face immediately changed to a warm and enthusiastic smile. Gone was the domineering aura of the palace master he had just displayed when he came out of Luo Nan Palace. He simply scurried over to Nangong Wan, cupped his hands in greeting, and said affectionately, "I was unaware of Master's presence today. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly. Someone, arrange a seat of honor for my master!"

"Do you still respect me as your master?! Guards, smash the Luo Nangong plaque for me!" Nangong Wan gave the order, and her two maids, Mingyu and Caihe, immediately stepped forward, ready to fly up and kick the Luo Nangong plaque away!

"I, the Palace Master, will see who dares!" Xiao Xuanyuan's smiling face suddenly changed, and in an instant, a terrifying aura of a powerful expert covered everyone present. Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Xiao Xuanyuan, who is now a nine-star Dou Wang level expert. If he really makes a move, he can even fight against a Dou Huang level expert!

Overwhelmed by the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Xuanyuan, Ming Yu Caihe immediately cowered, her head bowed and her body stiffening on the spot. She desperately circulated her internal Dou Qi to resist the overwhelming pressure. The pressure from a nine-star Dou Wang level expert was terrifying indeed!

"I dare to do it, let's see what you can do to me!"

Nangong Wan completely ignored him. She leaped up and took down the plaque bearing the name of Luo Nangong. With a slight exertion of her fair and slender hands, the plaque was snapped in two before it even fell to the ground.

The only one who could remain unaffected by Xiao Xuanyuan's terrifying aura was Nangong Wan, who was also at the peak of the nine-star Dou Wang level.

I'll fucking beat you to death!

Xiao Xuanyuan flashed forward with lightning speed, almost hitting Nangong Wan's face before she could even react. They missed each other by a mere 0.01 millimeters, but he managed to stop the attack from landing! Otherwise, with that punch, Nangong Wan would have been sent flying, coughing up blood. This was the confidence of a strong person.

"Damn it, it's too fast!"

Before she could react, Nangong Wan was forced to close her eyes. The sharp aura in the air approached, stinging her face. However, the expected heavy punch did not come down, leaving her very puzzled.

"Palace Master!"

Only then did the people of Luoyun Palace react and exclaim in surprise, but they dared not come forward. This shows just how strong Xiao Xuanyuan was. If he wanted to kill, he could severely injure Nangong Wan before the crowd could even cry out.

Xiao Xuanyuan's aura had just overwhelmed the group from Luoyun Palace, and the women were already filled with fear. With Xiao Xuanyuan's strength at the nine-star Dou Wang level, he could kill them with a single, casual strike.

"My beloved master, how dare your disciple hit you? It was just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" The murderous intent on Xiao Xuanyuan's face instantly disappeared, and his furrowed brows and wide-open eyes slowly relaxed, as if he had become a completely different person in an instant. He immediately spoke in a flattering tone.

The massive, furious fist that had been brimming with fury and possessing terrifying attack power transformed into a soft, yielding hand, gently caressing Nangong Wan's stunningly beautiful face.

"Hey kid, where are you putting your stinky hands?"

Nangong Wan was initially surprised by the strength of her adopted disciple, who had truly startled her. She had just recovered and was considering whether she should avoid causing him trouble in the future, given his strength. However, Xiao Xuanyuan's next actions completely enraged her.

"Uh! I..." Xiao Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to explain, a fist the size of a sandbag came crashing down and kept getting bigger in his eyes.

Bang bang bang!

A barrage of punches and kicks left Xiao Xuanyuan screaming in agony.

"Don't hit my face! Ouch, Master, don't hit my face, it hurts!"

---Aside---

There's no other way; our male lead can't bear to hit anyone, so he'll just have to take the beating!

Chapter 154 The Sudden Gentleness of Nangong Wan

Half a month later, a major event took place in the Alchemy Valley. A group of alchemists were specially selected and allowed to enter the inner courtyard for advanced study. Under the guise of advanced study, it was actually just a way to allow these people to enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to cultivate and enhance their strength.

There is an unwritten rule in the Alchemy Valley: if an alchemist cannot advance to the third rank within three years and to the fourth rank within five years, then they can apply to enter the Inner Academy and become a student there, so that they can enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to improve their strength.

Because the Alchemy Valley always needs fresh blood, every year it specially dispatches a small team led by a senior alchemist to various countries and regions to conduct talent tests and recruit alchemy apprentices. These disciples who have not reached the fourth-grade alchemist level in five years need to go out to train, collect some medicinal materials, and participate in the inner court trials, so as to create more revenue for the Alchemy Valley.

Of course, this requires alchemists to apply voluntarily. The Alchemy Valley did not force them. As for some young first- and second-grade alchemists who are like curious children, they can also apply if their time has not yet come. However, whether or not their applications are approved is a matter for the Valley Master and the elders.

Now that Xiao Xuanyuan has been promoted to a sixth-grade advanced alchemist, he believes that there is no future in staying in the Alchemy Valley. He might as well go into the Inner Court's Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and perhaps he can also subdue and refine the Fallen Heart Flame at the bottom of the tower. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

With this in mind, Xiao Xuanyuan applied to the valley master Zhang Cangwu for a spot to study in the inner academy. However, Zhang Cangwu, despite his white hair, dim eyes, and not a single white hair on his head, was extremely shrewd. He stubbornly insisted on keeping Xiao Xuanyuan stationed in the valley to provide a continuous supply of precious pills for the entire Canaan Academy!

But Xiao Xuanyuan wasn't stupid. What kind of elder gets a huge amount of medicinal herbs every day and gets special treatment to refine medicine? Ever since Zhang Cangwu helped Xiao Xuanyuan become the Sixth Elder, he has been coming to see him almost every day to reminisce, drink tea, chat, and build relationships, calling each other brothers.

Then, he shamelessly stuffed a large pile of fifth and sixth-grade medicinal herbs into his hands, making him cook them for him. Sure enough, just a few days after becoming the Sixth Elder, Xiao Xuanyuan had already cooked more than a dozen batches of pills for this old scoundrel.

"This is the sixteenth time we've opened the furnace! Valley Master, you should give it a rest. I'm almost ruining my alchemy skills!" That day, Xiao Xuanyuan was keeping his senior sister, Flower Fairy, and Xiao Nianxiao company to pass the time when that old fox, Valley Master Zhang Cangwu, came knocking on his door again!

"It's alright, Brother Xiao, you're still young and in great shape. You can refine a whole batch a day without any problem." The old fox Zhang Cangwu smiled and reached out to take Xiao Xuanyuan's hand and stroke it in a pretentious manner. Xiao Xuanyuan was so startled that he got goosebumps. Having already learned his lesson once, Xiao Xuanyuan quickly pulled his hand back to avoid being grabbed by this old guy and having his brotherly relationship further strained.

This old guy is at the Dou Zong level, not Dou Huang. Although his alchemy skills are only at the fifth rank, he is still very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold the position of the Valley Master of the Alchemy Valley.

"Brother Valley Master, that's enough already. When are you going to approve my application for a spot in the Inner Court? I'm still waiting to enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to train my body." Xiao Xuanyuan said with a dark expression, and drank the cup of cold tea in his hand in a gulp.

There was nothing he could do. His recent application to join the inner academy was rejected by that old fox Zhang Cangwu, who gave the same lame excuse: "You haven't reached the required years of service in the Alchemy Valley; you're still a novice alchemist. Rejection!"

This excuse infuriated Xiao Xuanyuan to the point of vomiting blood. He applied three times in a row, but was still rejected by the shameless old bastard Zhang Cangwu with a smile. He couldn't even be bothered to come up with a better excuse; he just used this one again and again.

"No rush, Brother Xiao. You haven't reached your allotted years in the Alchemy Valley. You're still a novice alchemist. Stay for a couple more years. I'd like to catch up with you. I can't bear to see my good brother leave." Zhang Cangwu continued to use his shameless rhetoric to deceive Xiao Xuanyuan, whose mind and body were suffering from setbacks every day.

"Alas, it seems my two-thousand-year-old Crowfire Branch and four-thousand-year-old Eight Treasures Mystic Fruit are completely useless. I originally intended to give them to my elder brother, the Valley Master, before I left, but now it seems..."

Xiao Xuanyuan feigned a look of regret, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly, "A fine horse is always paired with a hero, and a fine herb is paired with an alchemist. Such a fine thousand-year-old herb can only be matched with a skilled alchemist like my elder brother, the Valley Master. What a pity!"

Zhang Cangwu had been calm and collected, sipping his tea and pondering how to get Xiao Xuanyuan to willingly work as a laborer again to refine high-grade sixth-rank pills for Canaan Academy. However, upon hearing about the four-thousand-year-old Eight Treasures Mystic Fruit, he spat out his tea, a look of surprise spreading across his face. "What did you just say? You really have a four-thousand-year-old Eight Treasures Mystic Fruit?!"

The next morning, alchemist disciples began arriving at the main square of the Alchemy Valley one after another, gradually increasing in number from two or three at the beginning to seven, eight, ten, or fifteen.

Half an hour later, the square was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder, heel to heel, a sea of ​​heads, numbering over a thousand. If someone with trypophobia saw this, they would probably faint.

Once most of the alchemist disciples from the Alchemy Valley had arrived, Valley Master Zhang Cangwu, along with his five elders, appeared together, flew through the air, and slowly landed on the high platform of the main square.

"Today is the alchemist oath-taking ceremony. Those alchemists who have not reached the required level within the fixed period of time, please pay your respects!" Zhang Cangwu delivered his leader's speech, delivering a series of old and tired maxims with great enthusiasm, which made Xiao Xuanyuan drowsy.

No one knows when, but just as Xiao Xuanyuan was dozing off and dreaming that he was embracing his cheap master Nangong Wan in bed, being all lovey-dovey, Zhang Cangwu slapped him on the shoulder, looking at him with a somewhat gloomy gaze, "Elder Xiao, it's your turn to speak!"

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was about to burst out cursing, "Who's the blind fool who disturbed my good time?", he met Zhang Cangwu's gloomy gaze and couldn't help but shudder. Xiao Xuanyuan smiled sheepishly, "I was just lost in thought."

"Go up, say what you have to say quickly, and then set off immediately!" Zhang Cangwu looked at Xiao Xuanyuan as if he were a treasure. But now, looking at Xiao Xuanyuan was like watching a cooked duck fly away, and he felt extremely heartbroken!

Thinking to myself, I just want him to get lost, out of sight, out of mind.

Xiao Xuanyuan, of course, was unaware of the filth in his heart. He cleared his throat, puffed out his chest, and was about to step forward to say a few words in a righteous manner when his nominal master, Nangong Wan, stepped forward and stood in front of him. She stretched out her seemingly soft and boneless white jade hand to personally straighten his somewhat disheveled collar and clothes. "You're always so unruly. When are you going to come back after entering the inner courtyard?"

---Aside---

Nangong Wan has fallen for him, but our male lead has already entered the inner courtyard, leaving her alone in the Alchemy Valley.

Chapter 155 A Pampering of Love Before Leaving

"Oh my god, what am I seeing?"

"Am I dreaming, bro? Quick, pinch my thigh! Am I still half asleep? Hurry, it hurts! Damn, it's really real! My God! The rumors weren't exaggerated!"

"So the rumors were true! My beloved Elder Nangong!"
