Looking at the three of them, Linlong smiled and said, "I'm fine."
"Junior Brother Lin, it's good that you're fine," the three of them quickly said.
It was obvious that Linlong wouldn't look for trouble with the three of them, so they were naturally happy.
"Eh, the President, Instructor Huang Tai, and Instructor Zhou Jin are here." At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction of the person's gaze and saw President Luo Hong, Instructor Huang Tai, and Instructor Zhou Jin walking towards them.
Seeing that something had clearly happened, the few of them frowned.
After arriving in front of them, Zhou Jin frowned and asked, "What's going on here?"
At this moment, Sikong Yu, Huo Feng, and the others who were sent flying by Linlong had already struggled to stand up. However, they were all bowing with a distressed expression.
Just as the three senior brothers from the Alchemist Alliance wanted to explain the situation, Sikong Yu had already started complaining.
"President, Instructor Zhou Jin, you guys are trying to seek justice for us," Sikong Yu said with a sullen expression.
Originally, he was afraid that Linlong had some sort of power backing him up. However, after seeing Zhou Jin's appearance, his worries were immediately thrown out the window. The reason was that he knew Zhou Jin, who had some connections with the Sikong Clan. When he came to Tian Xing City this time, he followed his father's instructions and gave Zhou Jin some expensive materials, which Zhou Jin accepted.
With such a relationship, Sikong Yu believed that Zhou Jin would definitely help him and help him vent his anger.
Hence, he was the one who complained first.
Seeing Sikong Yu's expression, Linlong didn't say anything. He wanted to see what kind of tricks Sikong Yu was playing.
"What's going on?" Zhou Jin furrowed his brows.
"It's like this. This Linlong is using the fact that he's from the Alchemist Alliance to bully us outsiders of Tian Xing City. He injured all of us," Sikong Yu complained tearfully.
As he spoke, he quickly displayed his injuries. After being struck by Linlong, his calf was bruised. Most importantly, he suffered internal injuries from Linlong's force and even vomited blood.
He displayed all these to Zhou Jin, Luo Hong, and Instructor Zhou.
Seeing this situation, Huo Feng and the others, who thought that they could turn the situation around, also walked over with sullen faces. Like Sikong Yu, they showed the evidence to Luo Hong and the others.
This Sikong Yu really knew how to play the blame game. A disciple of the Alchemist Alliance had abused his power to bully others, seriously injuring someone. If this matter were to spread out, it would definitely be disadvantageous to the Alchemist Alliance. If this was really the case, then Linlong would be in deep trouble. At best, he would be imprisoned. At worst, he would be chased out of the Alchemist Alliance.
Senior Brother Gu and the other two, who were familiar with Lin Long's background, couldn't help but inwardly curse Sikong Yu, Huo Feng, and the others for being fools.
Sikong Yu originally thought that Zhou Jin would side with him on account of his relationship with the Sikong family and then push all the blame onto Lin Long. Who would have thought that Zhou Jin would look at Lin Long amiably and say, "Lin Long, is that so?"
Seeing Zhou Jin's expression, Sikong Yu's heart naturally leapt into his throat.
At this moment, how could Senior Brother Gu and the other two not grasp the opportunity to pull closer to Lin Long? Therefore, before Lin Long could say anything, the three of them had already started shouting, "Instructor Zhou Jin, this matter is the fault of Huo Feng and the others …"
"Senior Brother, you can't side with Lin Long just because he's a member of your Alchemist Alliance," Sikong Yu immediately argued.
Who would have thought that Zhou Jin would suddenly shout, "Shut up!"
Seeing Zhou Jin's fiendish appearance and his anger directed at him, Sikong Yu didn't dare to say anything else.
Huo Feng also felt that something was wrong. However, now that things had come to this, he could only lower his head and stand to the side.
Zhou Jin then looked at the three and said, "Gu Shun, tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Gu Shun and the other two immediately explained everything in detail. Although Lin Long was a little heavy-handed towards the end, it was all Sikong Yu's group's fault. Thus, many people around them nodded in agreement to prove Gu Shun and the other two's words.
Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, how could Sikong Yu be willing to give up? In a moment of anger, he actually said to Zhou Jin, "Instructor Zhou Jin, these people are clearly in cahoots. They are clearly framing us … Instructor Zhou Jin, I just gave you some expensive ingredients a few days ago. How could you forget the kindness of our Sikong Family so quickly …"
Hearing this, Zhou Jin was enraged. He immediately slapped Sikong Yu. The pitiful Sikong Yu didn't even finish his sentence before he was sent flying by Zhou Jin.
'Damn it, it's fine if you don't have eyes and offended Lin Long, but you actually want to drag me, Zhou Jin, down with you.' Zhou Jin cursed in his heart.
Seeing Sikong Yu being sent flying with a slap, Huo Feng and the others didn't dare to say anything else.
"The matter is clear. It was you guys who teamed up to bully Lin Long. As for you, Huo Feng, you actually used your status to bully others. You are truly a disgrace to our Alchemist Alliance." Speaking up to this point, Zhou Jin looked at the silent Luo Hong and said, "President, how do you think we should punish them?"
"Taking advantage of one's status to bully others is something our Alchemist Alliance does not allow. Hence, I suggest that they don't participate in this alchemy competition," Luo Hong said indifferently.
Although it was a suggestion, it was actually a direct disqualification. After all, this alchemy competition was organized by the Alchemist Alliance. Luo Hong's words had a decisive effect.
Sikong Yu, who was unconscious from the slap, walked over and directly knelt down. "President, I was wrong. Please give me a chance."
The others naturally followed his example. Of course, their words were from the bottom of their hearts.
They had prepared for this alchemy competition for a very long time. How could they be willing to be chased away before they even participated in the competition? Furthermore, they carried the ardent hopes of their families.
This was especially true for Sikong Yu. He had originally planned to use this alchemy competition to raise his Sikong Family's reputation. Who would have thought that something like this would happen?
At this moment, he was naturally filled with regret. He regretted that he didn't have eyes to provoke someone like Lin Long. He regretted that Lin Long clearly had such a powerful background. Why did he pretend to be an ordinary person?
Luo Hong ignored them. Instead, he turned to the slightly frightened Huo Feng and said, "As for you, Huo Feng, pack your things and leave the Alchemist Alliance. Our Alchemist Alliance no longer needs you."
Hearing this, Huo Feng looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His face instantly turned deathly pale. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "President, I was wrong. I won't dare to do this again. Please give me a chance."
Luo Hong remained unmoved. Gu Shun and the other two naturally seized this opportunity to show off. Hence, they directly walked forward and dragged Huo Feng away.
"Don't disturb the president here," they said.
"President, I am preparing to become a fourth-grade alchemist. Isn't such a powerful alchemist what your Alchemist Alliance needs? If you chase me away just like that, it will be a huge loss to your Alchemist Alliance." Seeing that Luo Hong still hadn't left, Sikong Yu spoke again.
"Is a fourth-grade alchemist that amazing? Moreover, you haven't reached that level yet. "Luo Hong frowned and coldly said.
Sikong Yu's expression changed and he hurriedly said, "Of course not."
"Alright, leave our Alchemist Alliance. Our Alchemist Alliance doesn't welcome you." After dragging Huo Feng to the side, Gu Shun and the other two walked towards Sikong Yu. It seemed like they wanted to drag Sikong Yu away.
"Hurry up and leave." Zhou Jin also urged.
If there weren't so many people present, he would have ruthlessly kicked Sikong Yu's butt.
Luo Hong no longer cared about Sikong Yu and the others. Instead, he smiled and said to Lin Long, "Little Brother Lin, are you alright?"
"Of course I'm fine." Lin Long smiled.
Who exactly was this Lin Long? How could he be treated so politely by the Alchemist Alliance's president and instructor? When they saw this scene, the surrounding people who didn't know Lin Long's background were naturally shocked.
At this moment, they finally understood why Zhou Jin had pinned the crime on Sikong Yu and the others without any hesitation.
"That's good." Luo Hong nodded.
At this moment, seeing that Sikong Yu and the others still had no intention of leaving, Gu Shun and the other two naturally dragged them away.
Poor Sikong Yu. Someone whose strength was close to that of a fourth-grade alchemist actually lost the opportunity to participate in the alchemy competition just like that.
