My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too

F{h*F5"+ V hapter 96: The Championship Contest (Part 2)

Elder Huo smiled, and then gazed at Mu Ruyue with twinkling eyes, saying, “Young girl, bring out all your strength. I believe that someone with such powerful spiritual power must also possess a formidable level of Alchemy Master skills. This competition concerns not only you but the entire Alchemy Conference, so, consider this an old man’s request to you.”

As an Elder of the Alchemy Conference, Elder Huo humbling himself to make a request of a green girl, was truly enough to make jaws drop.

Qin Feifei clenched her fists in secret fury, her fingernails digging into her palms without her noticing. She calmed the fury within her heart and coldly stared at Mu Ruyue.

Merely a Mid-level Human-class, so what if she can use Qi Nourishing Medicine? With her strength, how could she defeat that black-clothed man? Elder Huo was truly becoming more muddled by the day, humbling himself to ask a favor on behalf of someone who couldn’t possibly win.

“Elder Huo, I have a suggestion,” raised an eyebrow, Qin Feifei stepped forward, walking gracefully as she made her proposal, “She’s just Mid-level Human-class, after all. If she gives me the alchemy ingredients in her possession, maybe we can still win this competition.”

In Qin Feifei’s view, she was considering the Alchemy Conference’s interests, and Elder Huo wouldn’t refuse this request.

Elder Huo’s brows slightly furrowed, but before he could speak, Elder Qin’s indifferent voice came from the side: “Feifei’s suggestion makes sense. Sending a Mid-level Human-class to compete is practically handing over the championship to someone else. Moreover, the Alchemy Conference has moved almost all of our ingredients here. To go back and fetch more would be impossible within the time it takes an incense stick to burn; by then, the competition would already be over, and it would be meaningless.”

“She’s not suitable? Qin Feifei is suitable?” Elder Huo sneered, “Even Young Master Qingyu, who is an Earth-level Intermediate, hasn’t spoken yet. What can you do as a Low-level Earth Rank?”

Qin Feifei’s pretty face shifted slightly, and she lowered her head, remaining silent.

“Actually, it’s not entirely impossible for her to participate.”

Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense and somewhat confrontational, a faint voice emanated from the center of the venue.

Mu Ruyue smiled, but that smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. In those eyes was complete coldness: “If Lady Qin can discern what Elixir can be refined from my ingredients, then I will let Lady Qin participate in this competition.”

“Good, then I will take a look at your ingredients now,” Qin Feifei said with a dismissive smile. How could she not know the formulas for lowly Mid-level Human-class elixirs?

But when she saw those ingredients, her delicate face changed once more.@@novelbin@@

She pointed at the plethora of ingredients before Mu Ruyue and looked up at her angrily: “These ingredients of yours can’t possibly refine an Elixir. With these ingredients, how can you win the competition? Moreover, you have a Thousand-year-old Ginseng Fruit and Fierce Grass among your ingredients. Don’t you know that these two ingredients are incompatible? If you don’t even know this bit of Alchemy experimentation, how can you refine a good Elixir? You are clearly pushing the championship to someone else!”

Qin Feifei was red with rage. Regardless, the Qin Family had some connection to the Alchemy Conference, and if the conference was embarrassed, it would invariably affect the Qin Family as well. So, how could Qin Feifei not feel hatred?

All of this was this woman’s fault!

At this moment, Qin Feifei had completely forgotten that without Mu Ruyue, the Alchemy Conference might not secure victory.

“Honorable elders,” Mu Ruyue turned her head to look at the three people on the judges’ bench and said with a faint smile, “It’s not that I don’t want to give her the opportunity, but rather she doesn’t know how to use these ingredients to refine an Elixir.”
