Actually, she only came to give face to her master. It wasn't because of the rankings.
After all, the host of this competition is the Muyun Clan.
"Bingqian. Bingqian. The competition is starting in two hours. Why aren't you up yet?" Ye Zifeng knocked on Bingqian's door.
He was the one who was dragged here by Bingqian. How come Bingqian is the one hiding in her room and not coming out?
Yang Jing finished washing up and saw Ye Zifeng knocking on the door. She walked over with a smile on her face.
"Young master Ye. Junior sister has a bad impression of the competition. If she goes early, she'll be ridiculed by others. That's why she's pretending to be asleep."
Ye Zifeng thought for a bit and opened his mouth, "Then Miss Jing, can you go in and call her out?"
"That's easy." Yang Jing giggled and whispered, "Junior sister, I know that you're awake. Young master Ye is waiting outside. He's a bit angry."
"What?"
The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from inside the room. Ye Zifeng was slightly surprised. After a while, she had already pushed the door open. She lowered her head and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks. Because she had just woken up, her long hair wasn't completely taken care of yet. It made her look even more messy.
"Big brother rough guy. Don't be angry. I'm coming out."
Her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of anxiety. However, when she saw that Ye Feng was not angry at all, she suddenly came to a realization. She turned her head and wrinkled her nose. She looked at Yang Jing with dissatisfaction.
"Senior sister. Is it fun to play with me?"
Yang Jing giggled, "If I don't do this, then you'll have to wait until the competition starts again. Don't you think so?"
Ye Zifeng smiled. He didn't think that even though Yang Jing looked weak and sickly, she actually liked to tease people. If her body was a bit better, she would definitely be a weird girl.
Liu Bing Qian smiled awkwardly and nodded her head stubbornly, "Let's go. This time, I have big brother boorish to help me. No matter what, I won't take the last place!"
She glanced at Ye Feng and suddenly felt a surge of courage in her heart.
"Let's go." Ye Zifeng came to a conclusion. He was looking forward to meeting an alchemist in this continent.
"Alright!" Bingqian tidied herself up and followed Ye Zifeng and Yang Jing into the depths of the Muyun Estate.
After a day, the Muyun Manor, which had been deserted the day before, was now packed with people, shoulders rubbing against each other.
As soon as Liu Bing Qian and the others walked out of their residence, they were squeezed into a corner by a large crowd.
Ye Zifeng furrowed his brows, "What's going on? Is this an alchemy competition or a market? Why are there so many people here?"
If the number of martial cultivators is one out of ten, then the number of alchemists is one out of a hundred. The number of people that can participate in the alchemy competition is one out of a thousand. From what Ye Zifeng can see, there shouldn't be a lot of people here.
Yang Jing smiled, "Young master Ye. You don't know about this. In the Alchemy Competition, a portion of the refined pills will be specially taken out and sold to these people. It's used to subsidize the medicinal ingredients needed for the Alchemy Competition. So these people aren't here to participate in the competition. They're here to see if there are any suitable pills that they need to buy. "
"So that's how it is."
Ye Zifeng smiled and understood. This Muyun Old Devil is quite smart. She wouldn't do anything that would make her lose money. Otherwise, some people would swallow up the cost of all the medicinal herbs for a moment of pleasure. That would be slapping their faces swollen to show off.
The surrounding people saw Liu Bing Qian and Yang Jing and immediately began to laugh and discuss.
"Old Hong, do you see that fairy-like girl over there? That's Miss Liu from Leizhou City. The last few times she placed last, she seems to be quite shy. How come she still has the face to come over this time?"
"Hahahaha …. Old Feng, I have to say that Miss Liu is the highlight of this year's alchemy competition. Every time I see her crying after getting last place, I can't forget it."
"But look. This time, she brought another follower. I wonder how strong he is. Maybe because of him, Miss Liu will be able to turn things around. "
"What a joke. Look at him. He looks like he hasn't even grown his hair yet. How strong can he be? This time, big brother Chu opened a bet. Do you want to bet or not? I bet that Miss Liu will be last! "
"Bet! I bet that Miss Liu will be last as well! "
These people thought that no one could hear what they were talking about. However, Bingqian and the others could hear it very clearly.
Liu Bingqian furrowed her brows. She wanted to retort, but she didn't know how to. After all, she had lost so badly in the previous competitions that she couldn't even raise her head to look at others. If it wasn't like that, then why would she hide in her room and not come out?
Yang Jing sighed and held Bingqian's hands. In her eyes, there was a look of concern that a senior sister would have for her junior sister.
Ye Zifeng was silent for a bit and then opened his mouth, "It's not time yet. I'm going out for a bit and will be back in a bit. You guys can go in first."
Liu Bing Qian looked at him with a puzzled expression. She wanted to ask him the reason, but soon after, she still smiled sweetly, "Alright, then hurry up and come back …"
She was the one who wanted to drag Ye Zifeng into the competition so she couldn't interfere with his freedom. She was afraid that Ye Zifeng would dislike her.
Ye Zifeng nodded and walked into the crowd. Not long later, he disappeared …..
A handsome young man suddenly squeezed into the crowd that was just discussing betting on Liu Bing Qian to be at the bottom of the table.
Some people had already recognized that he was the one who came with Liu Bing Qian. They immediately panicked and said, "Brat, what are you doing here?"
Ye Zifeng coldly snorted, "Gambling. If it's a gambling den, then it's fine. However, this is the Muyun Manor. This is the alchemy competition. If you guys do this ….."
Seeing that there was a troublemaker, the leader's expression changed, "What do you want to do? We're just playing around. We don't have any intentions of looking down on the owner. How is this gambling? "
However, he was, after all, in someone else's residence, so he didn't have much confidence in his words.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "What I'm trying to say is, if you guys do this, can I join as well?"
Everyone was startled, "No way. You're participating in the competition. If you join as well ….."
"Aren't you guys just playing around? Why are there so many rules? "Ye Zifeng smiled.
Seeing that Ye Zifeng wasn't here to cause trouble, the leader sighed, "You can. However, it depends on how you bet. For example, if you bet that you and Bingqian will be at the bottom, then I'm afraid we can't keep you company ….."
As soon as he said that, the group of people burst into laughter.
That's right. Everyone thinks that Bingqian will be at the bottom. If Ye Zifeng bet that he'll lose, then there's no point.
"Also, do you have money to bet? You're from Leizhou City. How much money do you usually have on you? "
Ye Zifeng smiled and took out a bag filled with gold coins. Everyone looked at it and saw that there were at least a thousand gold coins inside. The mocking laughter stopped and everyone looked at Ye Zifeng seriously. They all quieted down.
"Money. I have it. Here's a thousand and two hundred gold coins. Not a single one less."
Most of the money Ye Zifeng had was from Wang Lin and Wang Ruoxing. Some of it was from Ye Chongtian. It was the same amount of money as the three strongest clans in Leizhou City combined. It was a lot.
The leader's eyes lit up and looked at Ye Zifeng seriously. He was treating him like someone important.
"My name is Liang Nine. You can call me Brother Nine. Tell me. How do you want to bet? I'll consider it if it's appropriate. " They only wanted to bet on a small scale and didn't want to make it big. Thus, they didn't want to bet too much. They just wanted everyone to be happy.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Let me ask you something first. How many people are participating in the competition?"
Hearing this, the leader was startled and laughed loudly. He patted the shoulders of the people next to him. Everyone else looked at Ye Zifeng with disdain.
"Little brother. You don't even know this and you're participating? Looks like Eldest Young Miss Liu is going to be at the bottom again! "
"That's right. The competition is between the five alchemists from the five cities around Tiandao City. Naturally, there will be five groups. Don't tell me that your Miss Liu didn't tell you about this? "
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Five groups. No matter what, I should at least get into the top three. How about this. We can make a blood contract. If I don't get into the top three, then you guys can have the one thousand and two hundred gold coins. "
Liang Nine was so shocked that he stood there like a block of wood. Even though he was experienced, he was still shocked by this young man in front of him. He didn't know this young man at all. This must be his first time participating in the alchemy competition. How can he be so arrogant? However, one thousand and two hundred gold coins was a huge amount of money. To some of the declining clans, this was a huge amount of money.
