But it wasn't all peace and quiet that night.

In a different part of the city, in a certain room in the Chen Manor.

"Dad, you have to take revenge for me on that bastard! Not only did he humiliate me in front of everyone, he even got my qualifications as a Junior Alchemist taken away, as well as getting me banned from the Alchemy Tower for five years! What will I do with my future?" Chen Yi said in an aggrieved voice.

It was Chen Yi, the fraud that Lin Fan had exposed.

"Yi'er, don't worry, your dad is one of the ten elders of the Alchemist Tower, he will take care of this." Chen Yi's mother patted him on the head while holding him in her embrace.

But Elder Chen didn't have a calm look like the rest of his family.

He knew that this matter wasn't as it seemed on the surface.

Not only was Elder Gu involved, there was also this unknown Platinum Realm Expert involved.

As one of the elders of the Alchemy Tower, he naturally had his own intelligence network and they had quickly investigated the situation this afternoon for him.

This was currently a critical time for the Alchemy Tower, there were still many things he had to take care of and that didn't include offending one of the other elders or an unknown power.

Elder Chen put his head in his hand as he gave a sigh and tried to calm himself down, but his wife wouldn't let him.

Chen Yi's mother turned to Elder Chen and nagged at him, "What kind of a man are you, you can't even protect your family! Look at your poor son, he's suffered this much and you're just standing here looking useless! I don't know why I even married you!"

Elder Chen angrily looked at his wife, but he didn't do a thing.

Elder Chen was actually quite a good man, he took care of his family and was never too harsh with his discipline, but it was too bad that his wife completely spoiled their son after their first child ended in a miscarriage. He loved his wife dearly, so he had never interfered with this, but now it seemed like it was all coming back to bite him in the butt.

Elder Chen gave a sigh before he said, "Now is a bad time for this. I promise that I'll do something about this, but the Alchemy Master has his own plans and none of us will survive if we were to mess with his plans."

Elder Chen's wife wanted to keep berating her husband, but when she heard the words "Alchemy Master", she knew that she had no choice but to calm down.

The Alchemy Master was the real master of the Alchemy Tower, the ten elders couldn't compare to him…

In another part of Green Wood City, there was another meeting between two different elders.

Elder Gu and Elder Hua were gathered in a private room in the Hanging Moon Pavilion, but they were also discussing what had happened this afternoon like the Chen Family.

Elder Hua stroked her slender fingers around the cup in front of her as she asked Elder Gu, "Provoking the Chen Family like that, what were you thinking?"

Elder Gu gave a sigh before saying, "We've been on the passive side for too long, I was hoping to force Elder Chen to make a move, that way we could at least pick up a few clues."

Elder Hua also gave a sigh at this. If there were other men around, their hearts would have filled with a desire to protect her since she was the complete embodiment of what others called a "loli". She was a little girl who was only one meter and forty centimeters tall with brown twin tails hanging off on both sides, as well as large brown eyes that one could see their reflection in.

Still Elder Gu wasn't fooled since he already knew what she really was. In reality, she was already an old hag that was over three hundred years old, coming close to four hundred. But he still respected her as a colleague, being one of the ten elders and the only female Grandmaster Alchemist of the Alchemy Tower.

After pausing for a bit, Elder Hua turned to her apprentice standing on the side and asked, "Xiao Yun, what are you so upset about?"

Yang Yun who had been pouting on the side said, "Master, the man you had me follow this afternoon turned out to be a disappointment. At first he seemed like a good person, but then without saying a word, he suddenly slapped and spanked Xiao Hai."

Elder Hua revealed a confused look, "Why would this man suddenly slap and spank Xiao Hai?"

Yang Yun shook her head, "I don't really know master, he just suddenly slapped him. Then even when Xiao Hai told him that he was from the Mu Family, he actually started spanking him."

Elder Hua revealed a thoughtful look before saying, "He went to spanking Xiao Hai as soon as he heard he was from the Mu Family...There's probably a deeper story here. He's either an enemy of the Mu Family or he's a friend of the Mu Family. But if he was an enemy of the Mu Family, he would have done more than just spank him, so it's probably the latter."

Yang Yun knit her brows at this, "Still why would he spank Xiao Hai for now reason?"

Elder Hua turned to her apprentice and said, "You probably tried to use him to make Xiao Hai jealous to test him, right? I know what kind of personality you and Xiao Hai have, it probably left a bad impression on him."

Yang Yun awkwardly looked down before she said with pouted lips, "But still, that didn't mean that he had to spank Xiao Hai…"

Elder Hua gave a sigh as she thought of the relationship between her apprentice and Mu Xiao Hai. Both of them were good kids, but neither of them could be honest with each other…

Elder Hua paused for a second before saying, "Since he seems to be a friend of the Mu Family, he might help us in dealing with the Alchemy Master."

Elder Gu was surprised to hear this as he quickly said, "Are you sure we want to include some unknown person in this? This could decide the entire fate of the Alchemy Tower."

Elder Hua paused to think for a bit before saying to Yang Yun, "Go and find Xiao Hai tomorrow, this man should have gone to the Mu Manor tonight. Find out what Xiao Hai knows and if he really is a friend to the Mu Family, we can include him in our plans."

Elder Gu hesitated a bit before nodding in agreement to this.

Lin Fan's pet food had left a deep impression on him. Even though it was only low grade pet food, it was pet food that had 100% purity. That was not something that could be easily accomplished.

If they could discover Lin Fan's secret to this, their alchemy skills could improve a level and maybe they could even make that final step to the Legendary Alchemist Realm.

Yang Yun was hesitant when she heard that her master was ordering her to go find that terrible man again. She stayed silent for a bit before saying, "Master, do I really have to go find him again? He was mean to Xiao Hai."

Elder Hua revealed a smile as she waved for her apprentice to come over. Once Yang Yun came over, she took Yang Yun in her embrace as she said in a gentle voice, "I know that you care about Xiao Hai, but you have to admit that you were in the wrong in this matter. He isn't really a bad person, he was just trying to teach Xiao Hai a lesson. We all know how Xiao Hai acts normally, but he does have good intentions, I'm sure that man could also see it."

Then she said in a serious voice, "Still, you have to apologize to him for what you did wrong and we have to think of the greater good. This is a problem that will affect the future of our entire Alchemy Tower, so you have to at least give him another chance. Until we're certain that we can't be friends with him, there's nothing to lose from trying to be friendly with him."

Yang Yun wanted to say something, but seeing her master's serious face, she gave a nod in response in the end.

Elder Hua turned back to Elder Gu and said, "These truly are trying times, ever since the previous master disappeared two years ago. Do you still ever think about what happened to the young miss who went missing?"

Elder Gu's expression filled with a bit of sadness, "I can guess what happened to her, but we can't dwell on the past. We can only do our best to handle the current Alchemy Master. We've prepared for a long time, we will prevail."

Elder Hua turned to look out at the crescent moon before saying, "I really hope so…"
