"What did you say?" Zheng Rong's expression turned extremely ugly.
Although the words of the people below the stage had some hidden meaning, no one said it out loud. Now, Ren Yang had said such words in front of everyone. How could his expression not be ugly?
"I said that you cheated with Linlong!" Ren Yang calmed down when he saw Zheng Rong like this. He glared at Zheng Rong and said word by word.
After all, he had the support of Tan Qiwei, one of the top ten teachers. Zheng Rong only had a little reputation among the disciples. How could he be compared to his teacher, Tan Qiwei?
"Ren Yang, don't slander me. I, Zheng Rong, have been in the academy for so long. How can a newcomer like you doubt my reputation?" Zheng Rong said angrily.
"No matter how good your reputation is, can it be compared to my teacher, Tan Qiwei?" With that, Ren Yang turned to look at the people below the stage and said, "Everyone, I doubt Zheng Rong's impartiality, so I want to redo the competition and let my teacher, Tan Qiwei, be the host. What do you think?"
"Alright, it's best to let Teacher Tan Qiwei be the host."
"Although Senior Zheng Rong has a good character, this competition will be controversial, so I agree with Ren Yang's suggestion."
"After all, Teacher Tan Qiwei is the top of the top ten teachers. There will definitely be no controversy if he is the judge."
Most of the people below the stage had doubts about Linlong's refinement. When they heard Ren Yang mention his teacher, they naturally nodded in agreement.
"What do you think, Senior Zheng Rong? If you don't agree, you can object." Ren Yang looked at Zheng Rong proudly when he heard everyone's support.
If Zheng Rong objected, he would definitely have a guilty conscience. Therefore, he was not afraid of bringing up his teacher.
Since he was certain that Linlong could not refine the Mysterious Heart Pill under such circumstances, he believed that Linlong would definitely lose when his teacher came.
Zheng Rong was so angry that his face turned red. However, he understood that objecting at this moment would only be a guilty conscience. Therefore, he said coldly, "Alright, then let's invite Teacher Tan Qiwei out. I'll see if you still have the face to stay in the academy."
After saying that, he felt relieved in his heart because he believed his own eyes. Just now, Lin Long had indeed refined the Wishful Mysterious Pill, so even if Tan Qiwei came personally, Lin Long would definitely be able to do it.
"En, Lin Long, what's your opinion?" Seeing that Zheng Rong had agreed, Ren Yang smiled complacently before turning to Lin Long.
"I agree," Linlong said calmly.
Ren Yang originally thought that Lin Long would definitely object. Who would have thought that Lin Long would agree? This surprised him.
Right now, the only thing he could think of was to get his mentor to step in and embarrass Linlong and Zheng Rong on the spot. Therefore, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he said to someone below the stage, "Yan Hong, report this to Mentor Tan Qiwei immediately and get him to step in."
"Young Master Ren Yang, I will go immediately," Yan Hong said respectfully and immediately walked out of the mission hall.
Not long after, the tall and bearded Tan Qiwei directly rushed into the mission hall.
Tan Qiwei's speed surprised everyone. After all, Tan Qiwei's residence was not far from the mission hall. After hearing the disciple's report, he must have rushed over as fast as he could. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to reach the mission hall in such a short period of time.
"Greetings, Mentor Tan."
After a brief moment of surprise, everyone hurriedly greeted Tan Qiwei respectfully.
"En." Tan Qiwei snorted and arrived in front of the stage.
To be honest, it was very embarrassing for a mentor to act as a referee in such an informal setting. However, how could Tan Qiwei let go of such an opportunity to punish Lin Long? These days, every time he thought about how he was humiliated by Lin Long, he would fly into a rage.
It was impossible for Lin Long to refine the Wishful Mysterious Pill under those circumstances. Therefore, after hearing Yan Hong's words, he immediately rushed to the mission hall as fast as he could.
After arriving in front of the stage, Tan Qiwei glared at Lin Long and said to Zheng Rong, "Zheng Rong, to think that I praised you in front of the dean. I didn't expect you to be such a despicable person. You actually came to bully my disciple with others."
After hearing Tan Qiwei's words, Zheng Rong's expression immediately changed. He hurriedly said, "Mentor Tan, that is indeed the case. Lin Long really refined the Wishful Mysterious Pill."
"What real Wishful Mysterious Pill? I'm afraid the two of you agreed to put the Wishful Mysterious Pill in the small cauldron before refining, right?" Tan Qiwei said coldly.
"It seems like that is the case."
"I didn't expect Senior Brother Zheng Rong to be such a person."
"It's my fault for misjudging him."
…
After hearing Tan Qiwei's words, the crowd immediately broke out into discussion. They had previously believed Zheng Rong's words, but after hearing Tan Qiwei's words, they immediately felt that they had been tricked.
After all, Tan Qiwei was a mentor of the academy. Moreover, he was the leader of the ten great mentors. How could his words be wrong?
"This …" Zheng Rong was immediately at a loss for words.
At this moment, even he wondered if he had been tricked by Lin Long. Did Lin Long really put the pill in the small cauldron first, then use some special method to deceive his eyes?
"Senior Brother Zheng Rong, there's no need to worry. We'll be able to see what happens in the competition," Lin Long calmly said when he saw Zheng Rong's expression.
Zheng Rong's straightforward personality left Lin Long with a rather good impression of him.
"Lin Long, I can't wait for the competition to begin right away," Ren Yang immediately interjected. Ren Yang immediately interjected when he heard Linlong's words. Then, he suddenly changed the topic, "However, since you've used such a despicable trick, I'd like to add another condition to our wager. Apart from giving Murong Xue to me, you must leave the academy immediately and never set foot in it again."
"Once the competition is over, how can someone like him still have the face to stay in the academy?"
"You can't say that. If he's thick-skinned and insists on staying, there's nothing you can do about it."
When they heard Ren Yang's words, quite a few people immediately began to ridicule Lin Long.
"No problem," Lin Long replied calmly.
"Since that's the case, let the competition begin," Ren Yang said impatiently.
By this time, there was no need for Ren Yang and Lin Long to speak. Senior Brother Luo had already brought the six sets of ingredients onto the stage. After all, Tan Qiwei had already been alerted by this matter. No matter what, someone would pay the final contribution points.
Tan Qiwei immediately leapt onto the stage as well.
In order to prevent any tricks from appearing, Tan Qiwei earnestly picked up the small cauldron from Lin Long's table and examined it a few times, then put it back.
"Alright, I hereby announce the start of the competition."
