"All the disciples here should want to know whether or not this pill is the real Mysterious Will Pill, whether or not it was really concocted by Lin Long. I will now announce the answer to everyone," said Tan Qiwei with a smile as he looked at the audience.
When he saw how natural Tan Qiwei's smile was, Zheng Rong cursed inwardly. He immediately focused his attention on Tan Qiwei's hand.
After taking a look, his expression changed drastically. That was because the elixir in Tan Qiwei's hand had started to show faint cracks. Because of this, the originally sparkling and translucent elixir had become dim and lusterless.
Damn it, Tan Qiwei had secretly tampered with it just now. How could he, the head of the academy's ten great instructors, do something so shameless? Zheng Rong cursed inwardly.
However, he hadn't seen Tan Qiwei do it with his own eyes, so he didn't know how to criticize him.
"Alright, I'll now announce the answer. I can clearly tell everyone that under my supervision, Yang Fan did not cheat. He successfully concocted the Mysterious Will Pill. However, it's a pity that the pill he concocted was defective, a defective pill with no effect whatsoever," said Tan Qiwei.
His sudden turn of events caused the faces of those who'd wanted to congratulate Linlong to darken, especially Murong Xue. She'd originally assumed that Yang Fan had successfully concocted the Mysterious Will Pill. Who would've thought that Tan Qiwei would suddenly turn things around like this?
With that, Tan Qiwei extended the pill in his hand, so that everyone could clearly see what state it was in.
When they saw the cracks on the pill's surface, they no longer had any doubts.
Those who'd supported Yang Fan shook their heads helplessly, sighing that Linlong had actually been one step behind.
Those who'd supported Ren Yang naturally began to cheer happily.
"Since it's a defective item, it means that Linlong has failed to refine it. Earlier, Linlong said that he only wanted one set of materials. In other words, Linlong has already lost. According to Linlong's bet with Ren Yang, the loser will have to abide by the agreement and leave the academy, never to return." Tan Qiwei's voice reverberated throughout the spacious Mission Hall.
To prevent any accidents from happening, Tan Qiwei even shamelessly brought up Linlong's claim that he'd only used one set of ingredients.
Shameless! Truly shameless!
When the crowd heard Tan Qiwei's words, they couldn't help but feel disdain for him.
Tan Qiwei had intentionally let them use only one set of materials. As a mentor, he actually said such words. How could they not feel that Tan Qiwei was shameless?
"Instructor Tan, that's what Linlong said during the first round. This is the second round, but Linlong hasn't said anything like that. That means he should still have the opportunity to use the other two sets of materials," said Murong Xue anxiously from below the stage.
"Murong Xue, are you the instructor, or am I the instructor?" said Tan Qiwei coldly, staring at Murong Xue.
"This …." The fact that Tan Qiwei was Murong Xue's instructor left Murong Xue at a loss for words.
"A man never goes back on his word. Naturally, I will keep my word. So, I can't use the other two sets of ingredients," Linlong said with a smile.
His words surprised everyone. They felt that Yang Fan should at least try to defend himself.
Could it be that he wanted to use this opportunity to leave the academy?
Some people even had such thoughts in their minds.
Murong Xue also had the same thought. She felt that Yang Fan didn't care about her at all. Instead, he'd just casually let her have her.
Although Murong Xue's relationship with Linlong hadn't reached a certain level yet, she couldn't help but think this way.
"Senior Brother Lin, you …." Murong Xue was so angry that tears began to flow from her eyes.
She couldn't finish her sentence. Instead, she choked back sobs, turned around, and rushed out of the Missions Hall.
"However, there's one more condition to determine that Linlong has lost. That is, Ren Yang must use the last set of ingredients to concoct the Mysterious Ruyi Pill." When he saw that Linlong didn't argue, Tan Qiwei pretended to be sincere.
He could tell that his disciple, Ren Yang, was in top form today, so he had no problem using the last set of ingredients to concoct the Mysterious Ruyi Pill.
If he allowed things to continue like this, Linlong would definitely be kicked out of the academy. Thus, Zheng Rong, who knew what had happened, couldn't stand it any longer. He turned around and shouted to the crowd, "Fellow disciples, you've all been tricked by Instructor Tan Qiwei. Linlong has already successfully concocted the Mysterious Ruyi Pill, but Instructor Tan Qiwei tampered with it. He used his hidden power to cover the pill's surface with cracks, turning a supreme-grade pill into a defective one."
When he heard this, Tan Qiwei's expression changed drastically. He turned around and roared at Zheng Rong, "Zheng Rong, what nonsense are you spouting? As a disciple, is this something you can say to an instructor? "
"Instructor Tan Qiwei, although you're an instructor, you're also human. That's why you can still make mistakes. I saw you make a mistake, so I have the responsibility to tell everyone about it." After pointing out that Tan Qiwei had tampered with the pill, Zheng Rong actually calmed down.
This sudden turn of events left the crowd dumbfounded. They hadn't expected Tan Qiwei to be so shameless.
However, although they all believed in Zheng Rong's character, this was, after all, a one-sided statement from Zheng Rong. If he wanted to accuse Tan Qiwei, he still had to produce evidence.
"Zheng Rong, don't slander me. If you can't produce evidence, then I'll report this matter to the law enforcement instructor. When that happens, you'll be kicked out of the academy!" Tan Qiwei looked at Zheng Rong with a sullen face.
He understood that after saying this, Zheng Rong would no longer be able to stay in the academy, because Zheng Rong had no way to produce evidence.
"I can't produce evidence, but I'll still say this because I can't go against my conscience!" Zheng Rong looked straight into Tan Qiwei's eyes and patted his chest.
This made Tan Qiwei, who was much stronger than him, feel a little guilty.
However, now that things had come to this, how could Tan Qiwei give in? He sneered, "Very well, I didn't expect that I, Tan Qiwei, would unknowingly offend you, Zheng Rong. However, no matter how you slander me, I, Tan Qiwei, will still be innocent."
After saying this, he turned to a disciple below the stage and said, "Chen Yi, go and find the law enforcement instructor immediately."
Tan Qiwei couldn't wait any longer. He wanted Zheng Rong to be kicked out immediately. As the leader of the top ten instructors, Tan Qiwei's authority couldn't be questioned or slandered.
"Yes, Instructor Tan." The disciple quickly turned around and left.
Seeing this situation, Linlong, who was standing at the side, smiled as if nothing had happened.
The way things had developed was really beyond his expectations.
Seeing that Linlong could still smile at a time like this, those who were on Yang Fan's side were speechless.
