Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

Just then, a balding old man who looked to be in his fifties came down from upstairs.

Alchemist Lin and Alchemist Zhou hurriedly went up to greet him.

But someone was faster than them. Feng Qingyan quickly came in front of the middle-aged man and said softly, "Uncle!"

Behind Feng Qingyan, Alchemist Lin and Alchemist Zhou exchanged glances. They had always heard that Feng Qingyan had backing in the guild, but now they knew that Vice President Chen was Feng Qingyan's uncle! No wonder Feng Qingyan, as a Rank 1 alchemist, could sit on equal footing with them, two Rank 2 alchemists, and be responsible for the guild's grading duties. No wonder Feng Qingyan used his power to do many immoral things and had never had an accident. It turned out that he had a vice president uncle protecting him.

The two of them also hurriedly came over and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Vice President Chen!"

Vice President Chen nodded: "Tell me, what happened?"

Feng Qingyan embellished the story and told it again, of course, he made himself sound very aggrieved, and described Wang Xiao as arrogant and deliberately came to make trouble.

Vice President Chen glared at Feng Qingyan, he knew his nephew's character very well.

After listening to his nephew's words, he asked Alchemist Lin and Alchemist Zhou again.

"Lin Jing, Zhou Huaishan, tell me the situation!"

Lin Jing and Zhou Huaishan are the names of Alchemist Lin and Alchemist Zhou.

The two hurriedly and impartially told the story again, and also mentioned their speculation about Wang Xiao's identity. After they finished speaking, they retreated to the side. Since the vice president was here, he would handle this matter, and it had nothing to do with them.

Hearing that Wang Xiao had a relationship with the higher-ups of the Academy Alliance, Vice President Chen also took it seriously.

After hearing this, Feng Qingyan was also a little scared, and he said worriedly: "Uncle, you have to help me!"

Vice President Chen glared at him: "How big of a deal can it be? You didn't do anything to him. Even if he has a relationship with the higher-ups of the Academy Alliance, this is our territory, and he can't do anything to you! Later, you apologize properly, make amends, and I will symbolically punish you, give the other party face, and he probably won't hold on to it!"

Feng Qingyan said unhappily: "Let me apologize to a young brat?"

Vice President Chen scolded him angrily: "What's wrong with letting you apologize! If he really has a relationship with the higher-ups of the Academy Alliance, even I have to be careful, why can't you apologize?"

After being scolded by his uncle, Feng Qingyan reluctantly said: "Yes, Uncle!"

After explaining everything, Vice President Chen entered the crowd and came to Wang Xiao.

He glanced at the red jade token Wang Xiao was playing with, his eyes narrowed slightly, and immediately looked at Wang Xiao with a smile: "This little brother, I'm really sorry, I have investigated this matter today, and we were wrong. I will severely punish Feng Qingyan!"

Then he sternly shouted: "Feng Qingyan, do you know you're wrong?"

According to his uncle's instructions, Feng Qingyan said with a look of remorse: "President, I was wrong, this matter is all my fault, I will never dare to do it again!"

"Humph! Feng Qingyan, you have really disappointed me too much! The guild values you, so it let you take on the responsibility of alchemist grading, but I didn't expect you to neglect your duties and betray the guild's trust in you. I will punish you by not allowing you to participate in the Rank 2 alchemist assessment for three years!"

Looking at the performance of the two people in front of him, Wang Xiao cursed in his heart!

These guys are treating me like an idiot!

According to this punishment, not allowing Feng Qingyan to take the exam for three years is not painful or itchy at all.

Not allowing him to take the exam for three years will not affect his continued alchemy. After honing his alchemy skills for three years, he can immediately continue to take the exam and advance.

In fact, according to Feng Qingyan's talent, it will definitely not be enough to reach the level of a Rank 2 alchemist in three years, at least about five years.

Therefore, this punishment seems severe, but in fact, it has no loss to Feng Qingyan at all.

Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes, looked at Vice President Chen, and asked: "How should I address this senior?"

Vice President Chen smiled and said: "I am Chen Quanli, the Vice President of the Alchemist Guild in Jinzhong City!"

Wang Xiao cupped his fists and said: "So it's Vice President Chen, I've heard a lot about you. My name is Wang Xiao, just an ordinary student from Jinzhong No. 1 High School!"

Chen Quanli thought: "Holding the token of the higher-ups of the Academy Alliance, and saying that you are an ordinary student, do you think I believe it!"

Wang Xiao continued: "Vice President Chen, there is actually nothing between me and Alchemist Feng! He just thinks I am young and have no master to teach me alchemy, so he has some doubts about my alchemy! These are all academic doubts, there is nothing serious, so, please don't punish him!"

Of course, Chen Quanli didn't want to punish his nephew. Seeing that Wang Xiao was so easy to talk to, he immediately felt relieved and quickly said: "This... that's too embarrassing. Since it's your request, then Feng Qingyan's punishment is waived! Qingyan, quickly apologize to Wang Xiao, you are all young people, you should communicate more in the future and be friends..."

But Wang Xiao waved his hand: "There is no need to apologize, and it is even more impossible to be friends! I am a very narrow-minded person and never accept apologies!"

Chen Quanli was stunned, what does that mean? You just said that you wouldn't pursue it, how come you said that you are narrow-minded and don't accept apologies in a blink of an eye!

Wang Xiao continued: "I am here to take the exam, and today's incident was also caused by Alchemist Feng questioning my alchemy ability. I, this person, can't stand others questioning me the most! So, Vice President Chen, I have a proposal!"

"Little brother, please speak!"

"Let me and Alchemist Feng have a competition, let's compete in alchemy, if I lose, then this shows that Alchemist Feng has a discerning eye and saw through my details, then it is completely reasonable for him to prevent me from participating in the exam! Haha... don't you think so!"

Everyone present was stunned.

They thought Wang Xiao was stupid!

Feng Qingyan had already passed the exam three years ago and became a Rank 1 alchemist.

How old are you? You haven't even passed the exam, and you're competing with someone in alchemy?

Even Li Nan didn't have much confidence in Wang Xiao. She pulled Wang Xiao and said softly: "Wang Xiao, what are you doing? He became an alchemist several years ago!"

Wang Xiao responded: "It's okay, Sister Nan, don't worry, that waste of his, even if he learns for a hundred years, he won't be my opponent!"

Wang Xiao didn't avoid anyone when he spoke, and everyone around him heard this.

This is a blatant slap in the face.

Before Chen Quanli could speak, Feng Qingyan was furious: "I'll compete with you!"

In fact, his anger was pretended. He was very happy in his heart. In his opinion, Wang Xiao was just a fool. What's wrong with competing? He actually competed with himself in alchemy.

I, Feng Qingyan, am a genius in alchemy!

Compete with me in alchemy? Looking for abuse!

This guy named Wang Xiao is probably a fool!

Feng Qingyan's alchemy talent is indeed okay. Over the years, all Rank 1 elixirs, except for the most difficult ones to refine, can be refined, so he is confident that he can win Wang Xiao.

Chen Quanli also pretended to hesitate for a while, and nodded: "Okay, you young people, you just like to compete for strength, so be it, let you compete, mutual exchange, can make progress!"

Wang Xiao said again: "Since we are going to compete, of course there must be a bet, otherwise what's the point?"

Chen Quanli said: "Little brother, what do you say we should use as a bet?"

Wang Xiao said: "If I lose, I won't take the exam either, and I will never be involved in alchemy again!"

"Hiss!"

The surrounding people gasped, this young man, this bet is too harsh on himself.

Since he is so confident, he must also be able to refine elixirs. At such a young age, he can refine elixirs, which shows that he has a very high talent in alchemy, even his talent is no worse than Feng Qingyan's.

For such an alchemy genius, not refining elixirs for life is equivalent to cutting off his future, this bet is really too harsh!

Feng Qingyan sneered: "Okay, if I lose, it's the same! I will never refine elixirs again for life!"

He was ruthless in his heart, brat, you made me lose so much face today, I must cut off your future in alchemy to relieve the hatred in my heart!

As for whether he will lose? Feng Qingyan never thought about it. Don't be kidding, I, Feng Qingyan, am an alchemy genius. Can I lose to a middle school student in alchemy? Don't say others don't believe in such ridiculous things, he himself doesn't believe it!

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiao shook his head again.

"I said just now that I am very narrow-minded, so I don't believe Alchemist Feng's promise, please Vice President Chen say a word, in the name of the Alchemist Guild, let Feng Qingyan withdraw from the alchemy world, then I will believe it!"

Chen Quanli hesitated, the Wang Xiao in front of him was showing too much confidence, he was worried that he would fall into Wang Xiao's trap, although he didn't think Wang Xiao could win Feng Qingyan, but in the Gu Master world, there are too many incredible things, maybe this kid is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

Seeing that his uncle hesitated, Feng Qingyan hurriedly urged: "Uncle... that... President Chen, I want to compete with him!"

Chen Quanli sighed, seeing that both sides were insisting on competing, he had to nod: "Okay, I announce that if Feng Qingyan loses, he will be notified to the Alchemist Guild, permanently expelled from the guild, and will never be allowed to refine elixirs!"

This time, both sides are satisfied!

Wang Xiao's reason for letting Chen Quanli speak is profound.

If Feng Qingyan makes a bet himself, what if he doesn't admit it after losing?

If he doesn't keep his bet, people will at most say that he is shameless and untrustworthy, and it won't even affect his continued development in the Alchemist Guild. In this way, apart from having a bad reputation, there is actually no major loss!

But if Chen Quanli expels him from the guild in the name of the Alchemist Guild and permanently does not allow him to refine elixirs, then Feng Qingyan really can't refine elixirs anymore, and he can't return to the Alchemist Guild.

You have to understand that alchemists like Feng Qingyan, who are directly affiliated with the Alchemist Association, have received training and education from the Association since childhood. Their alchemy skills do not belong to themselves, but to the Association. Once they leave the Association, they are no longer allowed to pursue the path of an alchemist. Otherwise, the Alchemist Association will hunt them down in order to maintain the organization's authority.

He is not like Wang Xiao, an alchemist outside the Association, whose alchemy skills are self-taught. Even if he doesn't join the Alchemist Association, as long as his alchemy skills are excellent, he can still practice alchemy and make money from it. The only difference is that he is not protected by the Alchemist Association.

At this moment, some people understood Wang Xiao's actions.

Especially Lin Jing and Zhou Huaishan, who were watching from the sidelines, felt that Wang Xiao was too ruthless for his young age. Once he won against Feng Qingyan in the alchemy competition, it would be equivalent to completely destroying him.

This kind of punishment is the most severe!

Lin Jing and Zhou Huaishan suddenly had a premonition that Feng Qingyan was doomed!

Would someone who could produce a high-level token from the Academy Alliance be foolish enough to dig a pit for themselves?
