Chapter 79 - 71: Encountering the Past
"I wish to see Li Yun, have him come meet me."
Ye Chen spoke calmly, but his words left the receptionist stunned, staring agape at the handsome youth in front of her. A mere sixteen or seventeen-year-old had the audacity to directly call for Master Li Yun by name, and within the Danxin Palace no less. Such boldness—could he truly not fear death?
She couldn’t help but frown her beautiful brows, a trace of displeasure in her eyes. Who was Master Li Yun? He was a highly important figure within the Danxin Palace, especially after recently becoming a Second Star Alchemist. His status was almost at the very top in the whole of Xiafeng Country, only second to that of the royal court’s chief alchemist.
Such a Second Star Alchemist commanded respect from everyone. Yet here was a wet-behind-the-ears kid who dared to call Master Li Yun by name, a clear disrespect.
The receptionist’s voice cooled immediately, "I’m sorry, Master Li Yun is very busy. Do you have an appointment?"
Ye Chen shook his head; it was just a spontaneous thought, where would he have gotten an appointment?
Seeing this, the receptionist’s expression grew even colder. Showing such disrespect to Master Li Yun without an appointment was simply causing trouble. She said coldly on the spot, "Without an appointment, it’s impossible to meet Master Li Yun. Please make sure to book one for next time."
Ye Chen’s brow furrowed slightly, not expecting it to be such a hassle just to see Li Yun.
He didn’t have any tokens or proofs on him, but suddenly remembered the Purple Pattern Gold Card, which originally belonged to Li Yun. Perhaps it would work.
Now it seemed he was in a situation of a dead horse being his only option for a doctor—if that failed, he planned to force his way into the Danxin Palace.
Just as he was about to take out the Purple Pattern Gold Card, suddenly a fragrance like orchids wafted by, accompanied by a surprised voice that suddenly rang in his ear, "Young Master, it’s you; you’ve come too."
