Meng Jueguang nodded his head and said, "Pavilion Master, if you were the only one here to face the three Elders of the Back Mountain Hall, it would indeed be very difficult for us to succeed. But isn't Young Master Xu here today? The Back Mountain Hall Elders are also people. Don't tell me they won't give Young Master Xu this little bit of face?"
Xu Lingchong immediately smiled. Perhaps he didn't have the ability to make the three elders present publicly distort the truth, but if it was just to make them turn a blind eye to such a small matter, then it wouldn't be a problem at all.
No matter what, his grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng, was a big shot who occupied a seat in the Elders Council. Even the three Back Mountain Hall Elders present had to give him face.
As for whether the three Elders would cooperate, this was actually very obvious. After all, even if Xu Lingchong and company spoke softly, with the strength of the three Elders, there was no way they could hide from their senses. And from the beginning to the end, they didn't open their mouths to stop them. They didn't even say a word. This in itself already represented their tacit agreement.
After obtaining the approval of Xu Lingchong and Hu Yunfeng, Meng Jueguang immediately turned around and returned to the newcomers. He inadvertently glanced at Lin Yi's direction, but the situation in front of him gave him a huge shock.
Just as he and Xu Lingchong were plotting, the young lady of Laner actually lowered her status and took the initiative to look for Lin Yi. It must be known that she wasn't just a simple beauty with unparalleled beauty. More importantly, she was the granddaughter of the Soaring Sky Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Shanghai Tianhua!
To be able to make this young lady, who was as noble as a princess, take the initiative to strike up a conversation, Lin Yi, this country bumpkin of the secular world, must have accumulated the good fortune of several lifetimes!
Not only Meng Jueguang, the other newcomers present were also looking at Lin Yi with the same gaze. Each and every one of them were envious, jealous, and even wanted to use their gazes to kill him. And then replace him!
Even Young Master Xu Lingchong's expression changed when he saw this scene. It should be known that he was one of the many pursuers of Shangguan Laner!
His grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng, had warned him more than once that if he wanted to rise in the Soaring Sky Pavilion in the future, he must hold onto the thigh of Shangguan Tianhua, and pursuing Shanghai Laner was the best way to do so. It was related to the future of the Xu family. There was no room for error on this point.
Therefore, in recent years, he, Young Master Xu, had spent countless efforts to capture the heart of a young girl. In the end, Shangguan Laner had always ignored him. Unexpectedly, today, she had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lin Yi, this country bumpkin of the secular world. How could he endure this!
This feeling was like a tall, rich, and handsome man being defeated by a poor man!
Little did he know that Shanghai Laner had never thought of taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lin Yi. She was completely forced to strike up a conversation! The one who wholeheartedly wanted to get close to Lin Yi was obviously the Little Curly Bear, who was hanging on her back but couldn't wait to burrow into Lin Yi's arms!
This little bastard who betrays me while secretly helping others! Shanghai Laner secretly cursed. However, under the Little Curly Bear's coquettish attack, she couldn't bear to ignore it. She could only grit her teeth and bear the strange gazes of the audience.
Fortunately, Lin Yi wasn't as annoying as she'd imagined. If it had been someone else, If it was someone else, they would definitely be like Xu Lingchong and the others, asking all sorts of questions in order to get close to her. However, Lin Yi didn't have the intention to climb up the stick. He just greeted her with a normal expression and didn't say anything more.
However, in this way. On the contrary, Shanghai Laner, who was used to being surrounded by stars, had a strange feeling. What did this Lin Yi mean? Could it be that she wasn't attractive in his eyes?
After noticing the strange resentment in Shangguan Lan 'er's eyes, Zhang Xuan was stunned. Lin Yi was completely baffled. From the beginning to the end, he didn't offend this missy at all.
However, Lin Yi didn't have the mood to care about this missy's subtle state of mind. From Meng Jueguang's strange actions just now, he had already felt a trace of a conspiracy. And now, Hu Yunfeng finally planned to announce the final rankings.
"Before announcing the final trial results of the Blue Cloud Pavilion newcomers, due to the trial process, a portion of Meng Tong's elixir was temporarily deposited in Li Zhengming's basket. Therefore, the points of this portion of elixir will need to be re-calculated. I can only ask the Back Mountain Hall's Pharmacist to work hard again." Hu Yunfeng's expression didn't change as she spoke eloquently.
The newcomers in front had already finished announcing the scores, so it couldn't be changed. However, Li Zhengming's score had yet to be announced. Furthermore, from Meng Jueguang's point of view, Li Zhengming was closer and easier to cooperate with!
The newcomers from the three pavilions were immediately in an uproar. Although Hu Yunfeng's words were high-sounding, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was cheating. However, even the three Elders turned a blind eye to it. The newcomers naturally wouldn't take the risk of offending Xu Lingchong and Hu Yunfeng to question it. After all, it had nothing to do with them, so they didn't care.
"Holy sh * t, this is too shameless!" Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai couldn't help but be infuriated. This shameless move was clearly targeted at Lin Yi!
Senior Brother Bitter could not help but protest, but he was stopped by Lin Yi. Although the opponent's method was shameless and despicable, the fact that the three Elders did not say a word was already a clear indication of the problem.
They were all alone, so if they were to protest in such a situation, it would put these important figures on the spot. Then things would be difficult to deal with in the future!
However, Lin Yi did not plan on giving up the first place of the trial so easily. He wanted to see what other tricks the opponent had up his sleeve!
The apothecary quickly gave the result, "Meng Tong's final score, 1800 points."
The moment this was said, everyone was stunned. 1800 points, not a single point less or less. It happened to be tied with Lin Yi's score!
Not only did the crowd not expect this scene, even Meng Jueguang and the others did not expect this at all. He had specifically asked Li Zhengming to take out more than two hundred points worth of elixirs. In the end, he did not expect this guy to be so stingy and take out exactly two hundred points, not a single point more!
"Are you crazy, kid? Would it kill you to give me one more point? Now I'm tied with that bastard Lin Yi. You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? "Meng Tong couldn't help but curse in exasperation.
This opportunity to turn defeat into victory was something that Meng Jueguang had fought so hard for. If all his efforts were to go down the drain because of Li Zhengming's stinginess, then it would really be a big joke.
Hearing Meng Tong's words, Li Zhengming's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. Motherf * cker, I've already contributed 200 points to you for free. Not only did you not say a word of thanks, but you're also cursing at me. How can you be so cheap!
