, you don't have to hide your identity or forge your credentials. Just be yourself.“Oh!”Ye Bufan nodded and said nothing more.Sima Wei's white and tender fingers slid across his chest, a mischievous s..."I can't believe that."

The elder Luo Rong frowned after hearing this. How many years had it been There had never been such an incident in the Alchemist Guild.

But he's still most focused on the successor to the chairman, he doesn't even care about such small matters.

"Let's put this aside for now and make a decision after tomorrow."

"Elder, I believe we should investigate this matter."

Mo Chongba said, "The Third Elder is a tough nut to crack now. He's stubborn and won't listen. No matter how we try to persuade him, he refuses to stand on our side."

But this old man has a weakness, namely Kong Xifeng. Now that his grandson has been beaten like this, he must be furious.

If handled well, this is an opportunity to win him over.

If the person who takes action has any relationship with the Second Elder and the others, then that would be best of all.

"You are right."

Luo Rong nodded and looked at Fan Dongping, "Go find out now, what is that kid's background, who is his backer, and if he has anything to do with the people under the Second Elder"

"Yes, Elder."

Fan Dongping nodded in agreement and stepped back. Although the Great Elder didn't immediately take action to avenge him, there was still a chance.

Since I'm investigating, I might as well put something on the other person's head.

After he left, Luo Rong said: "Do you think that young master Ye and the second elder are related"

"That's possible."

Mo Chongba stroked his white beard, "To defeat Fan Dongping, that person must at least be a mid-stage Immortal Emperor, or even stronger."

Such a person would suddenly run to the Alchemist's Guild to take the badge exam, and at this special time, it doesn't quite make sense. Perhaps there are other ulterior motives behind this.

Luo Rong said, "What you said makes sense, but he's still secondary. You should focus on pushing forward your previous plan. If we can get rid of Hua Qiqi, the rest won't matter."

"Yes, I shall attend to it at once."

Mo Chongba nodded and turned to leave the secret room.

On the other side, Kong Xifeng knelt before an elder, weeping bitterly.

“Grandpa, I’m almost beaten to death. You must stand up for me!”

"Wind, who beat you up like this"

That elder was none other than the Third Elder of the Alchemist Guild, Kong Lingyuan. This man was incredibly cunning and shrewd, knowing the guild's current situation like the back of his hand.

However, he didn't immediately side with the Grand Elder or the Second Elder. Instead, he played both sides, getting benefits from both.

Kong Xifeng dared to be so arrogant, openly collecting tolls at the entrance of the Alchemist's Guild, and no one dared to stop him, because he relied on his connections.

Now that both sides are vying for his allegiance, they certainly wouldn't let a minor issue spoil their amicable relations.

Moreover, everyone knows the old fellow has a weakness, his grandson Kong Xifeng.

Kong Lingyuan had two sons before, but unfortunately, they met with misfortune and died one after another many years ago.

There is only one grandson left, the sole descendant of the Kong family. He is naturally treasured beyond measure.

Looking at Kong Xifeng's cheeks that had been beaten in, Kong Lingyuan was heartbroken in addition to his anger. He hurriedly took out a box of green ointment and applied it to her cheekbones.

As the third elder and a powerful figure of the Alchemist Guild, a powerhouse at the Immortal Emperor level, the ointment he took out was naturally no ordinary item.

After applying it, in a short time, Kong Xifeng's wound began to heal at a visible rate. It was completely restored in about fifteen minutes.

Of course, this was also the result of Ye Bufan's leniency. He only wanted to teach the other party a lesson and didn't intend to kill them.

Seeing his grandson's injuries healed, Kong Lingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell me, who did this Who in Lingxiao Xiancheng dared to touch my grandson"

At this moment, he was truly furious. He had already lost two sons, and he didn't want his grandson to be in any danger either. If that happened, the Kong family would truly be extinct.

"He's a boy surnamed Ye..."

Kong Xifeng recounted the whole incident, ending with a face full of grievance, "That kid actually dared to lay his hands on me! He clearly doesn't take our Kong family seriously. You must avenge me!"

Kong Lingyuan's eyes flashed with a ferocious light: "Rest assured, I'll send someone to investigate right now. Whoever dares to hit my grandson, no matter who they are, I will skin them and extract their tendons!"

Ye Bufan didn't know any of this. He left Lingxiao Xiancheng with his companions and came to the Disciple Society outside the city.

Unlike the Alchemist's Guild, which is bustling with activity here, it seems that there are still plenty of people who want to join this profession due to alchemists holding a very high status.

While ordinary cultivators want to become alchemists, they need to test their aptitude in the Dao of Alchemy. If they are qualified, they will first become apprentices and gradually work their way up.

And all of this begins at the Apprentice Association, so every day there are thousands of people here who sign up for testing and take the assessment.

Ye Bufan, of course, didn't need to check his qualifications. He directly went to the exam location and registered.

Because there were too many people, it wasn't until the evening that we got our turn after waiting since noon.

The result was, of course, a foregone conclusion. With his mastery of the Dao of Dan, taking the entrance exam for apprentices was like a doctoral student taking a kindergarten test - just a formality. The most important thing was passing the exam and obtaining that token.

By the time everything was over, the sun had set in the west. Ye Bufan left the apprentice association and looked up at the night sky, which was now full of stars. Just as he was about to sigh, a figure suddenly flashed past him from mid-air.

It's too far away for the average person to see.

But his eyesight was far beyond ordinary, he not only saw him, but also recognized that the person was Hua Qiqi.

"How could it be her"

Ye Bufan was a little surprised to meet that woman here again.

It seems very fast, quite urgent. Could something have happened

Well, since I've come across it, let's just go take a look. If I can help, I will.

Having thought this through, he asked everyone to return to the Dragon King's Hall and then rose into the air, vanishing into the night sky at incredible speed.

I didn't misread it, it was really Hua Qiqi passing by in the air.

She is the most outstanding disciple of the Alchemist's Guild, and also the most popular candidate for the next guild master.

Hua Qiqi has always been devoted to the path of alchemy, especially after reaching the eleventh-rank Immortal Alchemist, she has been determined to break through to the twelfth rank.

To accomplish this goal before the Dan King Competition, I have been traveling outside, tempering my mind and enhancing my alchemy skills.

But a few days ago, after encountering Ye Bufan in the virtual market, she suddenly received a message from the union that the president was seriously ill and wanted her to return immediately.

It was precisely because of this that Hua Qiqi hurriedly bid farewell and rushed back to Lingxiao Xiancheng at the fastest speed.

Even so, when they returned to the Alchemist's Guild, the guildmaster was in a coma, his life hanging by a thread.

Hua Qiqi held the utmost respect for the president, who could also be considered her half-master. Due to this, she was extremely anxious and wanted to stay by his bedside.

But the elder was refused, on the grounds that no one could disturb the adults' rest at this time.

She had no choice, after all there were so many disciples in the Alchemist Guild, she couldn't single herself out.

So Hua Qiqi found a room next to the guild leader's bedroom and spent her days there, worried.

But just recently, a piece of paper suddenly appeared on the table with a small line of writing on it.

The murderer who killed Shi Kai has been caught by me, and will be executed at Dan Ding Mountain in one hour!

The signature is three characters—Lingxiao Sect.g said it was just itching and looking for a beating, in her heart she just felt disdain.It seems like people weren't just talking nonsense, everything is true. If you anger this female demon queen,It...
