Chapter 241 – Spatial Fragment

The next day, Qin Yu gathered his things . Led by the Ning Mansion steward, they arrived at a side courtyard . Of course, with the Ning Mansion’s status, power, and influence, even a small and obscure courtyard was incredibly luxurious .

The steward said several words and then smiled and cupped his hands together in farewell . After taking several steps away, a look of disdain crossed his eyes . To betray a woman to further himself, what a despicable person!

Of course, he would never acknowledge these sour thoughts in his mind .

The side courtyard was temporarily sealed up and there were no guards at the entrance . When Qin Yu entered, he saw more than ten people already gathered in the small courtyard .

Standing below the trees that were in full bloom, they chatted and laughed together . Whether it was the men or women, they all had a bit more pride and excitement in their faces .

When Qin Yu appeared, the easy and lively atmosphere suddenly came to an end .

A good number of eyes showed indifference, judgment, and…disdain .

After betraying a woman, especially one he liked, such a person actually stood together with them . It was really hard to imagine .

Of course, those that could appear here were mostly intelligent; at least there weren’t any idiots . They only looked around several times before turning their eyes away . Then, they continued to chat again, taking Qin Yu’s existence as nothing but air .

To ignore someone like this, perhaps this was the greatest form of contempt .

Smug comfort rose in the hearts of many people .

Qin Yu certainly knew what this was all about . He laughed inwardly and then nonchalantly walked over to a corner of the courtyard and stood there by himself .

All he wanted was to enter the Gold Noble Family . It didn’t matter how these people look at him .

Glancing around, many people sensed Qin Yu’s calmness . After a brief moment of surprise, they sneered .

This skin, it was really too thick!

Someone from Ning Mansion arrived . They were led by a middle-aged man that Qin Yu didn’t recognize . He stood with a dignified and imposing posture .

Ning Yiran and 16 other Ning Family juniors followed close behind .

“All of you can wait here . We will be leaving after an hour . ” After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man walked into the hall in the courtyard . Although there was no one guarding the hall, if one focused a bit, they could sense the sharp and swift aura coming from inside .

There was surely some master standing guard within .

“Greetings, Young Master Ning!”

“Is Young Master Yiran joining us? That is too wonderful!”

“Ning Le, I heard that you are only 15 years old this year . You must be an extraordinary talent highly regarded by Ning Mansion!”

It was normal for everyone to be surprised . If these outstanding Ning Mansion juniors decided to participate, then the most extreme possibility in their heart might be true . At the very least, there wouldn’t be any dangers .

The Ning Mansion juniors had light expressions . If they appeared here, that meant they had already been informed that this was the greatest secret of their people . After a moment of shock, now was the time to be proud and cocky . They faintly thought: ah, so our Ning Family was so epic…

They looked at the young cultivators chosen by the mansion . These people weren’t too bad, but they were unable to stand on par with them . They were doomed to be minor supporting characters .

Ning Yiran smiled warmly . He nodded towards everyone, looking like a genteel and kind youth .

Suddenly, a cold voice rose up behind him . “Is this fellow the Qin Ning that helped the mansion catch a thief, Alchemist Qin?”

To summarize someone like that, their words were filled with evil intentions .

Countless eyes gathered together . After a short surprise, they filled with joy .

They weren’t willing to provoke Qin Yu . But, the Ning Family cultivators clearly didn’t need to worry about this .

Hehe, to be torn down publicly, let’s see if this man can continue to remain so calm and stoic!

Ning Yiran’s eyes flashed . Right now, he should be preventing any breakouts from the Ning Family juniors, but after thinking about it a little, he decided to remain silent .

In the eyes of others, this was a clear signal that the Ning Mansion’s young master also disliked Qin Yu .

Then no one needed to have any scruples at all!

“Alchemist Qin found the thief and was recognized by the Mansion Lord, leading to him obtaining the qualifications to come here today . What incredible methods . ”

“That’s right . I fear most people can’t be as decisive as Alchemist Qin . ”

“Alchemist Qin has such a cool disposition; you must surely have great accomplishments awaiting you in the future . Perhaps I will need you to look after me at that time . ”

The cold taunts came at him like an icy wind .

Most of those speaking were the young cultivators . Some of those came from the mansion, but not many .

Ning Yiran watched for a moment . There was no rebuttal; Qin Yu’s expression was light, as if he hadn’t heard anything at all . This was indeed the best method to deal with this . If he spoke up and argued, he would only receive more shame .

“Enough . Alchemist Qin is loyal to my Ning Mansion, so it’s natural for him to be rewarded . ” Ning Yiran spoke out loud . As the future ruler of Ning Mansion, once he spoke, the courtyard immediately fell silent .

The middle-aged man emerged from the hall . “Come in . ”

Ning Yiran took a deep breath, awe in his face . Behind him were the Ning Family juniors, and after that were the several chosen young cultivators .

Qin Yu tactfully followed from the rear so that no one would provoke him .

On the ground within the hall, a transmission array had been fully activated . Spiritual strength buzzed from the array formation, emitting a low hum .

“Follow me . ”

The middle-aged man was the first to step in . The numerous youths behind him were startled before they became excited, and then they started to walk into the transmission array .

A dazzling light flashed around them . Along with the twisting of space, the figures of the people entering the array formation disappeared .

They could feel space tearing around them . But luckily, not long after, it disappeared and their surroundings b
