"Lord examiner, this person's talent is not bad. However, the Pill Tower has its own rules. Even Elder Chi Xing will not break the Pill Tower's rules."
Just as the middle aged man was hesitating, Huyan Songqing walked over with a solemn expression and said.
"Elder Chi Xing?"
When he heard the two words' Chi Xing ', the examiner's expression immediately changed. He suddenly remembered that before he left, Elder Huyan Chi Xing had specially looked for him and instructed him to pay close attention to Huyan Songqing …
One of them had the backing of one of the most powerful families in the Central Plains, and even had Elder Chi Xing's backing. On the other hand, Huyan Songqing's talent caused him to sigh in admiration. However, he had only come from a small kingdom.
Between the two, anyone could easily choose between them.
"Sigh …"
In the end, the examiner softly sighed and consoled himself that he was only fulfilling the Pill Tower's rules. "Qin Yichen, you should go back. Remember not to be late again after you have obtained the right to participate in our assessment next year."
"Why?"
Qin Yichen's expression also darkened as he asked somewhat unwillingly.
"Why? Rules are rules. How can you trample on them as you wish? "
When he saw Qin Yichen's ugly expression, Huyan Songqing felt a wave of joy in his heart. He coldly snorted and said.
"Humph, do you still want to compete in the Pill Battle? Defeated opponent? "
Qin Yichen glanced at him and coldly said.
"You …"
When he heard the words' defeated opponent ', Huyan Songqing's heart felt stifled. He pointed at Qin Yichen, but seemed to recall the solid sword like attack that had broken through his Mental Energy. Immediately, he was at a loss for words.
"Humph, you should obediently wait for next year!"
A long while later, Huyan Songqing coldly snorted and walked away with a black face.
"Gutless!"
However, Qin Yichen's indifferent words caused him to stagger. If not for the fact that his Mental Energy was already exhausted, he would have fought to the death with Qin Yichen.
The Pill Tower's examiner shook his head. At this moment, his heart no longer had the joy of obtaining two good seedlings who had broken through to the Spirit realm. Instead, he sighed for this youth called Qin Yichen. He had offended Huyan Songqing. Even if he entered the Pill Tower next year, his days wouldn't be easy.
Just as he was about to call the few people who had passed the test to follow him back to the Pill Tower, his expression suddenly changed. He looked towards the back of the square. There, a figure had appeared on the high platform.
"The assessment isn't over yet?"
An elderly voice was transmitted from the high platform. This voice was not very loud, but it was exceptionally clear. It was transmitted into everyone's ears in the noisy square.
Countless pairs of eyes were thrown to the tall stage when they heard this voice. Many pairs of eyes immediately turned into shock and admiration when they saw the figure on the tall stage wearing the robe that symbolized the Pill Tower's Elder and the five-line pill cauldron on the chest of his robe.
A Pill Tower elder, a rank 5 alchemist!
Soon after, exclamations sounded one after another.
"Elder Xiao Lin, he's here too?"
"Sss … elder Xiao Lin is an elder with an extremely high status in the Pill Tower. Wasn't he said to be researching a kind of pill? Why is he free to come here? "
"I don't know. Most of these alchemists have strange tempers. It's not something that we can guess. However, it's truly fortunate to be able to meet elder Xiao Lin today!"
Qin Yichen's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Xiao Lin. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
The examiner hurriedly bowed at this moment. He respectfully replied to the figure on the high platform, "Elder Xiao, the assessment has already ended. We were only delayed by some matters."
"Since the assessment is over, quickly bring them back." Xiao Lin waved his hand and indifferently said.
"Yes …"
The examiner repeatedly nodded.
"Sigh, the Pill Tower is in a mess right now. It's really disappointing …"
At this moment, Qin Yichen's sigh rang out. Furthermore, he had no intention of hiding it at all.
The noisy square immediately quieted down when they heard Qin Yichen's mocking words. Countless gazes looked at Qin Yichen with pity.
A kid with no background actually dared to be so impudent in front of a Pill Tower elder just because he was late. He was practically digging his own grave.
As expected, amidst the silence, Xiao Lin also looked at Qin Yichen from the high platform. A somewhat angry voice rang out, "Kid, what did you say?"
That voice rang out like a thunderclap. It was no wonder that Xiao Lin was so angry. For so many years, even the eight great thousand-year-old families had never dared to say such things about the Pill Tower.
For some reason, he was already in a bad mood. He did not expect to meet such an arrogant kid on this trip.
"Even a loser can obtain first place in the assessment. Because of his identity, I didn't even say anything. Am I wrong?"
However, while everyone was stunned, Qin Yichen was resolute and fearless. He puffed out his chest and raised his head as he loudly replied.
"Swoosh!"
Just as Qin Yichen finished speaking, Xiao Lin's figure swept down from the high platform. Under countless gazes, he slowly walked toward the center of the square.
"What's going on?"
When he reached the center, Xiao Lin did not immediately punish Qin Yichen. Instead, he looked at the examiner.
Under Xiao Lin's questioning, the examiner did not hide anything. He recounted Qin Yichen's lateness and his competition with Huyan Songqing in full detail.
"Hmph, so what if you're quite talented? Nothing can be accomplished without rules. A kid like you has such a bad temperament. You didn't do anything wrong! "
Xiao Lin snorted coldly as he spoke to the examiner. Then, he looked at Qin Yichen. A faint pressure was emitted from his body.
Huyan Songqing, who was behind the examiner, heard that and a mocking smile flashed across his eyes. Looking at Xiao Lin's stance, it seemed that he was going to teach that kid a lesson.
"I've seen plenty of people who have missed the assessment and given up. However, you're the first one who has the courage to come and cause trouble after missing the assessment."
Xiao Lin's eyes flashed as he stared at Qin Yichen. He coldly said, "Do you think that just because you have some talent, you can look down on the Pill Tower's prestige?"
Just as he finished speaking, a Mental Energy undulation that caused one's soul to tremble rippled out. Soon after, the undulation directly enveloped Qin Yichen. At that moment, the air around Qin Yichen seemed to be controlled by a special force and no longer flowed.
At that moment, countless people held their breaths, afraid that they would be implicated if they made the slightest sound.
