After Yuchi said all this, he did not turn around and leave immediately, nor did he rush them.
He found a table and sat down, looking at the scenery outside the window while waiting for them to sort through their thoughts.
The fifth-level alchemists were still silent from the shock.
” You should get up first and think about it slowly. I’ll give you all one day. This is my way of repaying your kindness.”
Everyone nodded.
One by one, they slowly got up.
Then, they returned to their seats.
This whole thing was hard to believe.
This young man had really come from the outside world?
Then, was there really any doubt as to what they would ask?
However, was the Alchemist Valley ready to face such changes?
If they could leave, could they adapt to the outside world?
Unable to fully answer these questions, they chose to remain silent. All they had to do was open their mouths to ask a question, but things were not that simple.
Every answer might have huge ramifications for the Alchemist Valley, and would definitely change the fate of everyone here.
Furthermore, was the path outside a path to life, or a path to death?
They had to make a choice.
While they were pondering this matter, Si Yuming walked in with Yue Hanjiang in tow.
The two of them had gone out to eat together. They had become pretty well acquainted with each other over the past few days. To some extent, they could be called friends.
Entering the library, Si Yuming could sense that the atmosphere was a little unusual.
Why did things seem so depressing here?
Why was everyone staring at the stairs?
She casually asked the librarian, “What’s going on? Why is it so quiet in here?”
This library here allowed conversation, and many debates over topics and problems took place here.
However, it was pin-drop silent now.
Everyone stood there in a daze, their eyes all looking upstairs.
Did this have something to do with Yuchi?
Si Yuming was puzzled, and looked to the librarian for clarification.
When the librarian heard her question, he forcefully suppressed the roiling emotions he was feeling and said, “Something quite sudden happened. A large number of fifth-level alchemists came to the library. However, there was also a strange young man that came with them.”
“After they arrived, everyone has been on tenterhooks. No one knows what is going on, but we can’t shake the feeling that something big is about to happen.”
The librarian was clear about one thing.
With so many experts appearing, and a mysterious young man as well, something was underfoot.
There was definitely something brewing. Everyone else could sense this from the atmosphere as well, so they simply waited patiently and quietly, not daring to disturb what was going on upstairs.
After Si Yuming understood what was going on, she nodded.
She knew that Yuchi was now a fifth-level alchemist, and his entire journey up to this point still felt like a dream.
However, would something big really happen because of this?
Si Yuming was not too sure either. She glanced at Yue Hanjiang, who was beside her, saying, “Let’s go up and take a look. Grandpa and the others should be talking to your brother upstairs.”
Yue Hanjiang had a good impression of Si Yuming. After all, this girl had treated her to a lot of delicious food. She was a really good person.
When Si Yuming brought Yue Hanjiang upstairs, they realized that the entire floor had been completely sealed off.
The heavy door outside the room was completely sealed, and at the top of the door, there were four words clearly written, “Please do not approach.”
This was obviously something that only a fifth-level alchemist could do. This meant that Si Yuming’s grandfather was currently discussing serious matters with the other fifth-level alchemists. It would not be good for her to barge in at this time.
Therefore, she could only suppress her curiosity and stand outside the door, quietly waiting for the discussion to end.
It was not just them who were waiting. It seemed that everyone in the library had the feeling that something incredible was about to happen.
What was going on?
