The red cloth was lifted, and golden light shone in all directions.
On the square table, there was a pair of Blood Jade Lions. The workmanship was incomparably exquisite. With a single glance, one could tell that they were high-grade goods and were worth a lot of money.
"Mother? What is the meaning of this? Who sent it? This pair of lions is quite unique. "
Ye Wanyue was stunned for a moment before she smiled. She placed the pair of lions in her palm and played with them.
She was still young, so in front of her family, she naturally took off her usual disguise and revealed the feelings of a young girl.
"It's your child's betrothal, An Kang asked someone to send it over." Madam Zhong's voice was indifferent as she stared at her daughter's expression, as if she wanted to see something from it.
"What?" "It's him again?"
A look of displeasure flashed across Ye Wanyue's face. She heavily knocked the Blood Jade Lion onto the table and said, "Mother, didn't I say it a few times? I don't want anything he sent over."
"Be gentle. Such a precious thing, what if it's broken?"
Madam Zhong glared at her in annoyance and used the red cloth to carefully put away the pair of lions.
"Mother, don't put it away. I'll return it to that Lu guy right now."
"Wait, stop right now."
Madam Zhong's face darkened as she raised the lion high up in the air, causing Ye Wanyue to grab nothing.
"Mother."
Madam Zhong looked at her daughter with a solemn expression and said seriously, "Wan Yue, listen carefully. This gift is different from before. It has something to do with tomorrow's Pill Competition as well."
As soon as he said this, even Ye Feng slightly narrowed his eyes.
He smiled and said, "What do you mean? What's the relationship between the two? "
Madam Zhong coldly looked at Ye Feng and did not directly answer him. Instead, she turned around and looked at Ye Wanyue seriously.
Ye Jiudao wasn't here, so she didn't plan to give Ye Feng any face.
"Young Master Lu said that he has already thought it through for you, Wan Yue. Since you will definitely lose tomorrow, as long as you refine pills for a while and act like you are sick and unable to refine pills, then let Ye Feng take over and lose. At that time, not only will you give us this stone lion, there will also be a lot of compensation gifts … "
"Let me take over the pill refining. So that's how it is. He has a good plan." Ye Feng nodded with a smile on his face.
Lu Ankang and the others' actions were very clear. They wanted Ye Feng to take over this mess, completely lose, and properly dampen his spirit.
"Stop, stop, stop … Don't say it …"
A trace of anger appeared on Ye Wanyue's pretty face, "There's no room for discussion on this matter … What kind of person does An Kang think I am? Doing this is simply an insult to me …"
"Sigh …" Wan Yue, don't be so stubborn. Now that things have come to this, and Laoye is not at home, why don't you take a look tomorrow and see if the situation is right? It won't be too late to make a decision after you've made your judgment. "
Madam Zhong sighed and tried to persuade her.
"I …"
Seeing that Ye Wanyue did not say anything, she moved closer and whispered into her ear.
"Wan Yue …" Listen to your mother, it's not like I told you to admit defeat. Try it first. If you can't do it, let Ye Feng take your place. Even if you really lose, it won't damage your face as an Earth rank pill refiner. "
"But …" If that's the case, wouldn't it be a loss of face for Ye Feng? "
Ye Wanyue still shook her head, "No, if I lose, then I lose. My business is my business. I won't transfer this matter of losing face to someone else."
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked deeply at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was silent for a moment. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth raised into a smile.
He took a step forward, "I feel that … Lu Ankang's suggestion is not impossible. Leave the rest of the journey to me tomorrow to refine the pills. "
"What?"
Ye Wanyue's bright eyes flickered. She covered her mouth in shock and looked at Ye Feng in surprise.
Others could not avoid it, but he actually took the initiative to accept it?
Was there really nothing wrong with his brain?
One had to know that according to Lu Ankang's suggestion, if they won the competition tomorrow, they would definitely humiliate Ye Feng.
In her opinion, this was undoubtedly a very shameful thing.
She hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Ye Feng, don't tell me you really think that buying so many medicinal ingredients will be of use tomorrow?"
"Of course. Otherwise, do you think that I spent fifty thousand gold coins for nothing?"
"You …"
Ye Feng smiled calmly and looked at her dazed expression.
"I can't guarantee it, but what I can tell you is that since I've already successfully bought the supplementary medicinal ingredients I need, I have a fifty percent chance of winning tomorrow's battle. As for the rest, it will depend on tomorrow's specific arrangements. If you want to win against our group, then you have to …" "Pay a bloody price."
"Wait, what were you talking about just now? What fifty thousand gold coins?"
Madam Zhong looked at Ye Feng blankly, not understanding what was going on.
Ye Feng and Ye Feng looked at each other and immediately laughed …
… ….
The next morning.
Countless disciples gathered at the front mountain of the Wind Inverse Academy. It was very lively.
In an empty space, there were five pill furnaces placed neatly. They were all of the Mysterious rank.
Four groups of people, each with around ten people, arrived one after another.
The only thing missing was Ye Feng's group.
"It's almost time, right? Where did Ye Wanyue and the others go? Why haven't they appeared yet?"
Xu Datong laughed out loud, "Could it be that they are afraid of this situation and feel that they will definitely lose? So they decided to say that they are sick and directly give up?"
6 Ankang also frowned, not relaxing at all.
"Ugh …" Let's wait a little longer. "
What he wanted was a complete victory. A situation like this, where the opponent forfeited the match, was not what he wanted.
At the same time.
Qi Zimo, who was standing quietly at the side, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes as he slowly raised his head.
"He's here."
"What's here?"
Following the direction where Qi Zimo's head was raised, everyone raised their eyes to size him up.
The two people in front of him followed suit, moving swiftly and decisively.
Wasn't it Ye Feng and Ye Wanyue?
When Elder Mo saw the two of them appear, the stone in his heart finally relaxed.
However, just as he relaxed, a look of reproach appeared on his face as he coldly snorted.
"There are so many challengers waiting here today. Aren't you guys a bit too late?"
"Is it too late? It should be said that it's just right. "Ye Feng said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud "dong" could be heard from a huge bell.
Three melodious bell sounds came from the back of the mountain and suddenly spread throughout the entire Wind Inverse Academy.
Indeed, they had arrived just in time and were not late.
"You …" Elder Mo's expression froze. His face twitched as he said coldly.
"Ignorant and incompetent, you only know how to play tricks. When the competition starts, let's see how you guys get off the stage."
Thus, he chuckled, turned his head, and clapped his hands, producing a crisp sound.
"Alright, since everyone is here, I will reiterate the rules that I mentioned yesterday to everyone. In fact, it's very simple. The result of the competition will be determined by the total number and quality of the pills obtained by each group. Everyone will be given a Mysterious rank pill furnace and a large number of medicinal ingredients to choose from. You can also use some necessary supplementary medicinal ingredients. "
He paused for a moment and said, "Up to this point, does anyone have any questions?"
Seeing that there was no reaction from the crowd.
Thus, he smiled calmly and continued speaking.
"Also, the total time limit is four hours. During the refining process, different groups are not allowed to communicate with each other. Those who violate the rules will be warned once, and the second time will be disqualified. The rules are simple, everyone understands. "
"No problem, Elder Mo, hurry up and start. I, Xu Datong, can't wait any longer."
"That's right, after dragging it out for so long, I still remember the pill refining chants that Master told me to memorize last night. Even now, I've almost forgotten about them." The moment these words were spoken, the surrounding people burst into laughter.
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Elder Mo chuckled and nodded his head solemnly.
"Alright, since that's the case, I will now announce the official start of this Pill Competition. There will be a total of four hours. I hope that everyone will do their best. Some of you, please remember your original intention for registering."
Immediately after, Elder Mo gave Lu Ankang a meaningful look.
Obviously, he could already tell that Lu Ankang held such hostility towards Ye Feng.
"If there are no objections, then I, Elder Mo, will announce the official start of this Pill Competition."
As the sound of his voice faded …
"Let's go, let's go."
Everyone, who had a mocking expression on their faces a moment ago, immediately had a serious expression on their faces. They rushed to the front of the pill furnace as fast as they could and carefully examined the main medicinal ingredients on the ground.
Ye Feng did not fall behind at all. He quickly walked to the side of the pill furnace and carefully sized it up.
"Not bad, not bad. As expected of the Wind Inverse Academy. The medicinal ingredients that they prepared for us are indeed much better than those in the Heavenly Law City." Ye Feng bent down and looked at the tall pile of medicinal ingredients in a daze. He nodded his head in satisfaction.
Then, he turned his head and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Wan Yue, do you still remember what I said yesterday? As long as I have supplementary medicinal ingredients, I will have a fifty percent chance of winning. Now, I'm afraid I can add another ten percent to my chances of winning."
"This …" Sixty percent chance of winning? "
He dared to say that he had a sixty percent chance of winning before even refining a single pill.
Even Ye Wanyue herself didn't dare to say these words.
Ye Wanyue stared blankly at Ye Feng for a moment. After a long while, she helplessly shook her head.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You look so serious that I was almost fooled by you."
She bitterly laughed as a glint flashed across her eyes. She focused and said, "Alright, Ye Feng, you can be my assistant. I'm going to start picking out medicinal ingredients and preparing to concoct pills."
