“Master?” Ye Zhuixun doubtfully walked toward Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue nodded at him. “Wait for a while.”
She then raised her head and looked at the alchemists from the Alchemy King’s Mansion, who were seated on the high stage.
“Everyone.”
The moment she started talking, everyone in the venue, who still had terrified expressions on their faces, held their breaths.
“Those attackers struck my disciple Ye Zhuixun’s pill cauldron. Due to this, it exploded. I feel that he deserves another chance to refine the pill.”
The crowd froze for a while, then they nodded at once. “Yes. Ye Zhuixun’s cauldron did not explode because of his mistake. Instead, it happened due to an external disturbance. He deserves to be given another chance.”
“But… If he’s given another chance, will it be unfair to the others?”
Master Ling frowned and contemplated the matter. He then looked at his fellow alchemists. “Ye Zhuixun is a good seedling. He deserves to enter our Alchemy King’s Mansion. I feel that he should be given another chance.”
Two of the alchemists nodded. “Master Ling is right.”
However, Master Gan’s face turned cold.
Bang!
Slapping the table with his palm, he spoke, “What rubbish are you spouting?”
He then menacingly got up and glared at Lou Qianxue. “Jade-Masked Blast, I know that you’re quite powerful, but the Alchemy Competition has its own rules. We can’t break the rules of the Alchemy Competition because of you and your disciple!”
“Oh? Is it?” The corners of Lou Qianxue’s mouth slightly curled up. “If I remember it right, before the competition started, every alchemist from the Alchemy King’s Mansion said this…
“‘This Alchemy Competition is being held by the Alchemy King’s Mansion. We hope that all of you will abide by the rules and won’t disturb the orderliness of the competition. Otherwise, my Alchemy King’s Mansion will severely punish you!’” Lou Qianxue vividly repeated the words of the alchemists from the Alchemy King’s Mansion.
She then raised her eyebrows and continued, “My disciple’s pill cauldron was attacked in the ring. Isn’t your Alchemy Competition At fault for providing poor protection?”
Master Ling bitterly smiled as he got up. “Yes yes yes! That’s right—”
Before he could finish his sentence…
“You’re spouting rubbish!” Master Gan snorted and stared at Lou Qianxue and Ye Zhuixun with a cold gaze. “It was your improper actions that attracted revenge from those attackers. You want to blame it on us now? Ye Zhuixun has lost. Don’t think of fighting with Ziran for the top position again.”
“You…” When Master Ling heard this, he frowned and pointed at Master Gan. “You really wish Wei Ziran to get first place so badly?”
Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes and faintly smiled. She looked at Master Gan and said, “Does anyone here not have an enemy? It’s not within our control if someone comes to take revenge. However, you alchemists can control the safety of the place. When something happens, we should naturally be responsible. But are you all not responsible for the poor protection in this venue?
“Furthermore… Ziran? Looks like Master Gan and Wei Ziran have a very close relationship. It’s no wonder you’re afraid of my disciple taking the exam again… Don’t you have any confidence in your Ziran?”
“B*tch! You’re spouting rubbish!” Master Gan became so furious that his face turned red.
“Humph. I’ll ask you all again. Are you really not giving Zhuixun another chance?” Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and asked.
“No!” Master Gan shouted and stroked his neck.
“Good! Good! Very good.”
Lou Qianxue chuckled. Suddenly, she raised her hand and roared, “Ten Thousand Sword Form!”
She did not have a shockingly imposing manner this time.
Yet…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Wu Jin Meteorite Iron still transformed into numerous swords. These swords shot toward the pill cauldrons of every candidate in the ring.
The light rays from the sword were as swift as the wind and lightning.
Before the other 17 candidates, who were focused on alchemy, could react…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The 17 pill cauldrons in front of the 17 candidates magnificently exploded at the same time like fireworks. Everything happened without any apprehension…
