Lu Yuanjiang’s body was injured, and he had two dark circles under his eyes. He looked a bit fatigued, but his spirits were surprisingly high.
On the other hand, Ruan Hao looked a bit sluggish and listless, also sporting two dark circles, clearly not having enough sleep.
Li Chunhua looked at the two and was momentarily stunned, "Old Lu, what’s going on with you?"
Lu Yuanjiang and Li Chunhua had a good relationship and often interacted, so they called each other familiarly.
Upon hearing Li Chunhua’s voice, everyone else in the office turned to look at Lu Yuanjiang and Ruan Hao.
Their unusual state was too obvious to ignore.
Seeing Lu Yuanjiang injured in his leg, arm, and head, Jin Xiaolan’s expression flickered. She couldn’t wait to speak, "Alchemist Lu, Alchemist Ruan, both of you don’t look too well, especially you, Alchemist Lu. What’s with these injuries?"
Without giving others a chance to speak, she added mockingly, "Could it be that you got injured during alchemy?"
Ruan Hao didn’t like talking. Seeing that Jin Xiaolan focused her questioning on Lu Yuanjiang, he quietly made himself less noticeable and said nothing.
Lu Yuanjiang, still looking radiant, replied indifferently, "Yes, it’s indeed because of alchemy."
Although his appearance looked exhausted, his spirits were extremely high, resembling someone pumped with adrenaline, making everyone feel it was somewhat bizarre.
"Oh, didn’t Chun Hua say you succeeded in making the antidote? And I see Chun Hua and Alchemist Ruan don’t have any injuries. How come you got injured? Could it be that Miss Gu intentionally targeted you?" Jin Xiaolan said and covered her mouth, laughing softly.
Lu Yuanjiang listened to Jin Xiaolan’s words, snorted inside, and looked puzzled as he responded, "My injury from alchemy has nothing to do with Miss Gu. Besides, Chun Hua didn’t lie; we indeed succeeded in making the antidote."
Upon hearing Lu Yuanjiang’s words, Jin Xiaolan’s face changed.
Ma Tao, who was frowning at his desk, suddenly turned his head towards Lu Yuanjiang, "What? You succeeded?"
Lu Yuanjiang looked at their expressions and felt secretly pleased, innocently saying, "So, you didn’t know we succeeded in making the antidote?"
"This... How is that possible? Weren’t you..." Jin Xiaolan looked incredulous.
Seeing Jin Xiaolan’s expression, Lu Yuanjiang grinned broadly, saying boldly, "It’s true, none of us reached the late stage of the fourth order, but Miss Gu is remarkable."
Ma Tao stared at Lu Yuanjiang, waiting for his next words.
Lu Yuanjiang turned to Li Chunhua, "Chun Hua, didn’t you tell Alchemist Ma and Alchemist Jin? Come on, tell them your current alchemy level, let them... oh, and Alchemist Lv, let the three of them be happy for you."
Upon hearing Lu Yuanjiang’s words, the faces of Ma Tao and the others changed.
What does Lu Yuanjiang mean?
Could it be that Li Chunhua advanced? From Fourth-order Middle Stage to Fourth-order Late Stage Alchemist?
Li Chunhua knew what Lu Yuanjiang wanted to do, which was to provoke Jin Xiaolan and Ma Tao, especially since their attitude towards Minister Yue and Miss Gu was really poor that night.
Li Chunhua also disliked the two, so she cooperatively said, "Miss Gu is amazing. After refining the antidote with her, I’ve become a Fourth-order Late Stage Alchemist."
