Xia Chenxi came very quickly, and before long, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion. Lu Xuan and the others turned back to look, and saw two women, dressed elegantly and with fine figures, jump off the carriage. They were Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi, who were now holding hands and walking gracefully towards the Treasure Pavilion.
However, the two had just entered the door when they were blocked by someone.
"Miss Chenxi, Miss Xinyi, it's been a long time." Long Zhi, with a flattering smile, stood in front of the two women and said.
Suddenly being blocked, Xia Chenxi frowned slightly, showing some displeasure. However, she had a very good temper and still glanced at Long Zhi, but found that she did not recognize him at all. She then asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Asked by Xia Chenxi, Long Zhi felt a bit embarrassed and awkwardly smiled, explaining, "I am Long Zhi from the Enchanter Guild. We have met a few times."
Long Zhi? Xia Chenxi searched her memory but found no impression of him. The Enchanter Guild had many people, and with her status, she naturally knew them all, but there were not many who were worth her remembering.
Xia Chenxi could bear to talk to Long Zhi, but Lin Xinyi had no interest in this guy who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. She directly ignored Long Zhi's existence, her eyes passing over him to see Lu Xuan, and a hint of joy flashed across her face.
"Lu Xuan, do you still remember me? We meet again." Lin Xinyi left Xia Chenxi and walked to Lu Xuan, blinking her bright eyes and said.
"Of course, I remember." Lu Xuan nodded awkwardly, his face turning a bit red. Facing such a rare beauty, Lu Xuan, a young man just beginning to experience love, naturally felt a bit different.
Hearing Lu Xuan's answer, Lin Xinyi immediately laughed happily, revealing two cute dimples, her eyes twinkling.
Lin Xinyi didn't know why, but although she had only met Lu Xuan yesterday, she felt particularly happy to see him. Normally, there were no shortage of young men who tried to win her favor, and people like Long Zhi were countless, but she found them all repulsive. Her feelings for Lu Xuan were different.
"Good to remember. Uncle Jiu said that your enchantment scroll was successfully engraved?" Lin Xinyi continued to ask.
Speaking of the matter at hand, Lu Xuan finally returned to normal, nodded, and said, "It should be successful, but the senior said he couldn't appraise it, so I specially asked Miss Chenxi and Miss Xinyi to help with the appraisal."
Lin Xinyi pouted her cute little tongue and said, "I'm not that capable. Chenxi has a good talent for enchanting. Also, don't call me Miss Lin, it sounds strange. Just call me Xinyi."
After saying this, Lin Xinyi secretly added in her heart: I wouldn't let others call me that, but I'll make an exception for you.
While the two were talking, Xia Chenxi finally got rid of Long Zhi and came to their side.
She first bowed to Uncle Jiu, then gently opened her lips to Lu Xuan, asking in surprise, "You successfully engraved the Enraged Charm scroll?"
"Yes, it's completed. I must thank Miss Chenxi for the notebook you gave me; I benefited greatly. However, the senior said he couldn't appraise it, so I specially asked Miss to help with the appraisal."
"Miss, the message charm didn't explain clearly. This Enraged scroll, the old servant couldn't confirm, so I asked Miss to come and appraise it personally," Uncle Jiu said.
Xia Chenxi nodded slightly, "Let me see the runes first."
"Miss Chenxi, there's no need to look at the runes. I just took a glance, and it's not an enchantment scroll at all, just smeared with beast blood," Long Zhi, who had been ignored by Xia Chenxi, now came over with a thick face and continued to chatter.
Just a few words from Xia Chenxi made him feel elated, thinking he was someone important. Although he was a member of the Enchanter Guild and an apprentice enchanter, he could put on airs in front of ordinary warriors, but neither Xia Chenxi, Lin Xinyi, nor Uncle Jiu would truly take him seriously.
However, his chatter annoyed Lin Xinyi. She raised her eyebrows and glared at Long Zhi, saying, "Who are you? Do you have a place to speak here? Go stand aside and cool off."
Rebuked by Lin Xinyi, Long Zhi immediately became embarrassed and dared not speak again.
Seeing Long Zhi's cautious and timid appearance, Yao Lei grinned. It felt good to see such a small person humiliated. He thought, when he returned, he would have a good chat with Lu Xuan. Since Miss Lin is interested, why not just take her? If he became a son-in-law of the Lin family, he wouldn't lack money!
Without Long Zhi's chatter, Xia Chenxi could finally focus on Lu Xuan's enchantment scroll.
Opening the entire enchantment scroll, she only glanced at it once, and her whole body trembled. Her spirit instantly concentrated, and her eyes were fully focused on the scroll.
The entire Treasure Pavilion became quiet. Long Zhi and his group did not dare to speak, for fear of angering Lin Xinyi. Lu Xuan watched Xia Chenxi nervously, and if she also said she couldn't appraise it, he feared he wouldn't be able to sell the three Enraged scrolls in the short term.
As for Lin Xinyi, her interest in Lu Xuan was much greater than in the Enraged scroll. Although her eyes were on the scroll, she often tilted her head to look at Lu Xuan and then smiled.
After a long time, Xia Chenxi finally took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and rubbed her temples, looking very tired.
Just now, she didn't just take a glance; she had released her spiritual energy to thoroughly scan the entire rune, which led to significant consumption.
"Miss, how is it?" Uncle Jiu couldn't help but ask. He had never seen such a strange enchantment scroll before. In fact, he already believed the scroll was successful, but he wasn't sure.
Xia Chenxi slowly opened her eyes, about to speak, but suddenly seemed to realize something and turned to look at Long Zhi and his group, saying, "You're called Long Zhi, right?"
"Yes, yes, does Miss Chenxi have any instructions?" Hearing Xia Chenxi call his name, Long Zhi's eyes lit up, and he quickly said.
"Take your people and go out."
"Ah?" Long Zhi was stunned, then quickly said, "I'm also an enchanter. If Miss Chenxi needs to study, perhaps I can help."
"Out." Xia Chenxi's tone became slightly firmer, and this time, she didn't seem to have such a good temper. Even the best-tempered person has limits.
"Um, okay, I'll go first. If Miss Chenxi comes to the Enchanter Guild, you can find me," Long Zhi said, still not giving up.
"Go out when I tell you to, no more nonsense," Lin Xinyi said impatiently.
After Long Zhi and his group left, Xia Chenxi's guards immediately surrounded the entire Treasure Pavilion, preventing outsiders from entering.
"Brother, didn't you say before that you and Xia Chenxi had a good relationship? Why now..." Long Yang asked, puzzled.
"When did I say I had a good relationship with her?" The lie was exposed, and Long Zhi's face turned red. He then said fiercely, "What's so great, just a woman. One day, I'll show you my power, hmpf!"
After saying this, Long Zhi led Long Yang and the others away, staying here would only bring more embarrassment.
In the Treasure Pavilion, Xia Chenxi looked at Lu Xuan with a serious expression, "Lu Xuan, did you really engrave this Enraged scroll?"
