“That’s right.” Fatty Qu cracked some watermelon seeds as he said, “I heard that it’s His Majesty’s 150th birthday so the feast is going to very grand. All the first ranked powers in the capital have to attend. You know that that Nalan Clan will naturally go. And it’s not only them; the Alchemist Guild, Beast Master Tamer Guild and the Spirit Master Guild will send their representatives to attend. People like us can only attend by riding under the influence of the Third Prince.”
Sima You Yue slapped the stone table, “Looks like all the strong powers of influence will be going!”
“That’s right.” Fatty Qu nodded, “Speaking truthfully, it will be a good enriching experience, it wouldn’t be bad for you to go and take a look.”
“Mm. Who knows, I may go when the time comes.” Sima You Yue said.
“If you end up going, I’ll also have somebody to talk to.” Fatty Qu said, “No matter what, my elder brother really wants me to go and broaden my horizons. But I actually have no interest towards those things at all and I don’t like to curry favour with that Third Prince either. If you go, I definitely won’t be bored anymore.”
“We’ll see.”
“Mm. Then I will return first. With regards to what I said earlier, if you have anything you want from this Fatty, just say it directly.” Fatty Qu stood up to say.
“I will.” Sima You Yue smiled as she said.
After she sent Fatty Qu off, she returned to her own room. Only the few of them knew that she was an Alchemist, so they didn’t look at her any differently when she returned. Only those closest to her knew that she was no longer the same her as she was in the past.
Within the capital, everyone was closely watching the situation between the Sima Clan and the Nalan Clan. One was the powerful Nalan Clan, while the other was the justified General’s Residence. They were not willing to help either of them, so if they sat in the wrong place, there would be a fatal disaster that would befall them for choosing the wrong side.
Everyone already knew that the Nalan Clan had invited an Alchemist and they knew that the Sima Clan had never been on good relationships with Alchemists, so they secretly thought that the Sima Clan would lose for sure this time.
News about the Sima Clan’s shop running out of pills spread like wildfire, and many Clan Leaders could only shake their heads and sigh. These pills were really a fatal blow to every Clan Leader!
However, not long after, the Sima Clan’s shop took out a few pills to sell, furthermore, the price was even lowered by a third as compared to before. It was even cheaper than the ones from the Nalan Clan.
Towards these mercenaries, who were not well off, this price unsurprisingly was extremely enticing. As a result, these mercenaries very quickly switched over and started patronising the Sima Clan’s shop instead.
The Nalan Clan had naturally gotten hold of this news very quickly. They were the ones who had sent people to buy out the Sima Clan’s stock of pills in order to make them lose its attractiveness. However, they never expected that they would actually be able to push out a batch of pills where the prices were actually lower than their own. This had caused them to be extremely mystified.
In the Nalan Clan’s Meeting hall, Nalan He’s face was overcast as he sat above at the Head seat. Two elders sat beside him, one on each side, while the others sat below.
“Clan Leader, is it true that the Sima Clan still has pills?” Second Elder asked.
“Yes.” Nalan He nodded, “We just received the news that they are continuing to sell their pills.”
