aring in his palm, ready to turn the vines to ash."No fire allowed." Sophia hid behind Ye Fan, her voice tense. "If we set these trees ablaze, we're finished."Only then did he realize that the current..."Seventh Seventh thanks the President for his appreciation!"

Hua Qiqi bowed and thanked her. She wasn't really that attached to the position of meeting chairperson from the bottom of her heart.

But as a member of the alchemists' guild, having grown up here, I don't want the guild to become a tool for others to seize profit.

Seeing the heir to the president's position determined, the reactions of the several people in the room were varied.

Of course, Wu Zheng and the others were overjoyed. In their hearts, Hua Qiqi was the most suitable candidate for the next president.

Luo Rong, Mo Chongba, and Liu Bai Mei were all filled with anger and resentment, but they dared not show it.

After all, the Alchemist Guild has developed for so many years, and the forces within it are relatively balanced. Even in the face of three elders, they don't have much of an advantage, especially since they are facing the guild master.

By contrast, Kong Lingyuan's mind was relatively calm. He had always been a moderate and would lean towards whichever side benefited him more. He wasn't particularly enthusiastic about who became president.

Xie Hongying stood behind the Great Elder and others, her head bowed. No one knew what she was thinking.

Zhuge Qingyang motioned for Hua Qiqi to step aside, then introduced Ye Bufan to everyone present.

"This is Ye Bufan, also known as Divine Physician Ye, Qiqi's good friend. This time, he completely cured the old man's injuries and also removed the poison that was placed on him."

By the end, a hint of coldness crept into his voice. He was clearly poisoned, and it had to be someone from within the Alchemist's Guild. The problem was, he couldn't pinpoint who just yet.

Luo Rong and Mo Zhongba naturally knew what was going on, but both were old foxes and would not show any sign of abnormality. Instead, they had expressions of shock on their faces.

"How could this be Who would dare poison the Guild Master Could there be a traitor within the Alchemist's Guild"

Luo Rong's performance was full of righteous indignation, as if he had completely forgotten that he had orchestrated it all.

Elder Wu Zheng was truly furious. He couldn't believe that under his own watch, the Guild Master had been tampered with. At the same time, he felt extremely guilty.

"It was the old man's fault for not defending well enough. I beg the Headmaster to punish me!"

Zhuge Qingyang waved his hand. "Forget it, this has nothing to do with you, there's no need to blame yourself."

"Divine Doctor Ye, thank you for your help."

Wu Zheng first expressed his gratitude to Ye Bufan, and the others followed suit.

Luo Rong, Mo Chongba and several others also followed suit, bowing and thanking him. However, in their hearts, they loathed the young man before them, wishing to carve him a thousand cuts and dismember him into ten thousand pieces.

If the other party hadn't cured Zhuge Qingyang, his plan would have already succeeded, and he wouldn't be so passive now.

Apart from shock and anger, a ripple of something else stirred within them. The one who had caused such havoc at the Alchemist Guild's assessment hall before, injuring Fan Dongping and Kong Xifeng, also bore this name. They couldn't help but wonder if it was the same person.

Even Kong Lingyuan, though with a smile on his face, seemed to have become more sharp-eyed.

Zhuge Qingyang looked at Ye Bufan: "Divine Physician Ye, you saved me this time, and you also did a great favor to the Alchemists' Guild. "

"I will be eternally grateful for your kindness. From now on, you will be my benefactor. If there's anything you desire, just ask, and I will do everything in my power to fulfill it."

"You're too kind, Senior Zhuge!"

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, "I came to Lingxiao City this time for nothing else but to obtain a Pill Refiner's Badge and then participate in the Danwang Grand Competition."

Ye Bufan wasn't trying to repay a favor; he just wanted to get things done quickly and not waste too much time here.

After all, he had seen how those alchemists' guild members acted before, and he wasn't sure what kind of trouble they might cause if he went back next time.

If Zhuge Qingyang were to step in, everything should be simplified considerably, at least it wouldn't be so troublesome. After all, one's time is precious.

As soon as he said this, Luo Rong, Kong Lingyuan and the others' hearts instantly became unsettled.

Before they even suspected Ye Bufan might share a name with that person, now they can be certain it's the person right in front of them.

Zhuge Qingyang was oblivious to what had transpired in the Alchemist's Guild. To him, the matter was child's play.

"Qiqiu, take Master Ye to the Examination Hall right now. You must follow the examination procedures without exception, but keep everything else simple."

Before Hua Qiqiao could speak, Luo Rong stepped forward.

"My Lord President, I find this matter unsuitable."

This old geezer looks respectful on the surface, calling him "President" with every word. In reality, he doesn't have much respect for Zhuge Qingyang deep down, otherwise he wouldn't have concocted so many schemes and tricks before.

Having served as the grand elder of the Alchemist Guild for so many years, he naturally has his own way of handling things.

He had already figured out Zhuge Qingyang's temper. As long as he adhered to the rules of the Alchemist Guild, the other party couldn't do anything to him.

"Grand Elder, what do you mean by that"

Zhuge Qingyang was a little surprised. In his view, it wasn't difficult for young talents to take the exam for the Alchemy Master badge.

"That's how it is, Council President..."

Luo Rong recounted what had happened at the Alchemist's Guild, emphasizing that Ye Bufan had beaten up Kong Xifeng and Fan Dongping.

At the end, he said: "Although Young Master Ye contributed to the treatment of the Guild Leader, he broke into the Alchemist's Guild and injured the Deputy Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall. He also seriously wounded Young Master Kong Xifeng."

According to the rules of the alchemist's guild, rewards are given for achievements and punishments are imposed for misconduct.

He saved Guild Master, our Alchemist's Guild can offer a suitable reward.

But with such deplorable conduct, this person is unfit to be an alchemist, let alone take the Alchemist's Certification Examination.

Such a person not only forfeits the qualification to obtain a badge but will also be blacklisted and forever banned from entering the Alchemist Guild.

At this moment, Luo Rong understood Ye Bufan very well. It was this young man who disrupted all his plans, causing him to lose everything he had achieved and come to nothing.

It's a shame I can't retaliate right now, but I will do everything in my power to thwart their plans.

We must prevent him from obtaining the Alchemist's Badge and participating in the Dan Wang Competition. Only then can I get my revenge.

Kong Lingyuan also shared the same idea, his grandson couldn't let others fight in vain, and immediately stood up.

"Master, I believe this is the right course of action. After all, without rules, there is no order. His deplorable conduct makes him completely unsuitable to be an alchemist."

Zhuge Qingyang frowned, not expecting things to turn out this way. What was originally a simple badge assessment had become so complicated.

He did not state his position directly, but looked instead at Ye Bufan.

"Doctor Ye, is that so"

Ye Bufan figured it out. The two old fellows in front of him were the backers of Kong Xifeng and Fan Dongping. They only came forward to cause trouble for him at this time.

"This is true, but there are reasons behind it…"

Ye Bufan recounted the events once again, truthfully and completely, leaving nothing out.

Without any further explanation, he stood there silently waiting for Zhuge Qingyang's response.

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Wu Zheng stepped forward.

"Guild Master, with you being ill these past days, some people have been acting recklessly within the Alchemist's Guild. Among them is Kong Xifeng, the grandson of Old Three."

I collected tolls from passersby in front of the Alchemist's Guild. What a disgrace! People like this deserve to be beaten.

Including the deputy head of the legal hall, Fan Dongping, who meddles in everything he shouldn't and ignores what he should.

In this case, Lady Ye's punishment is also reasonable and justified, with no fault to be found.the bottle of liquor and took a large gulp, calming his shocked emotions before saying: "Zheng Sanbao, the chief steward of the Imperial Palace, the Empress Dowager's trusted subordinate, and the fore...
