At that moment, Shen Yunrui let out a faint smile and said, “I was wondering who it could be. It turns out to be Miss Mu Qiqi, the genius alchemist from Qingyun Pavilion.”
Shen Yunrui, unconcerned, sneered, “I have come to seek guidance and discuss the alchemical arts with Master Cheng Yuanbai. The fact that Master Cheng is inferior to me is the truth, is it not?”
“Everyone knows that Qingyun Pavilion has always been inferior to our Shengdan Pavilion.”
“I merely wish for Master Cheng to personally acknowledge his inferiority to me, Shen Yunrui. Is that too much to ask? He truly is not my match!”
Upon hearing these words, Mu Qiqi became even more infuriated.
At that moment, Cheng Yuanbai grasped Mu Qiqi’s hand, sighing helplessly, “Qiqi, your master has brought shame upon you…”
“Master.”
Mu Qiqi turned her gaze to Shen Yunrui and huffed, “When it comes to discussing the alchemical arts, why should Master Cheng Yuanbai himself step forward? You, Shen Yunrui, are not worthy!”
“Oh?”
Shen Yunrui sneered again, “But Master Cheng has already failed to answer six questions!”
“Miss Mu Qiqi, you may be bold in words, but everyone will see through you…”
Mu Qiqi retorted with a cold laugh, “I say you are not worthy, and that is the final word. A guest alchemist from our Qingyun Pavilion is more than enough to engage you in a discussion and make you acknowledge your inferiority.”
Shen Yunrui burst into laughter.
“Miss Mu Qiqi, speaking so confidently may lead to an embarrassing situation.”
Without hesitation, Mu Qiqi challenged, “Dare you?”
“How could I possibly refuse?”
In the entire Qingyun Pavilion, Cheng Yuanbai was the strongest in alchemical arts. If even he had been defeated, no one else would stand a chance. Mu Qiqi’s refusal to admit defeat was nothing more than a path to humiliation.
At that moment, Mu Qiqi approached the edge of the crowd and pulled Ye Wushuang forward, looking at Shen Yunrui and huffing, “This is Ye Wushuang, a guest alchemist of Qingyun Pavilion. He will engage you in a discussion of the alchemical arts!”
In that instant, all the martial artists present were left agape in astonishment!
Shen Yunrui, looking at the young man in white, who appeared to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, was also taken aback.
And Ye Wushuang himself… was bewildered.
Was this girl out of her mind?
To use him as a shield so casually?
Mu Qiqi leaned close to Ye Wushuang and whispered, “Have you forgotten what Shihua told you? Shengdan Pavilion once persecuted your Ye clan for their alchemical techniques, killing Tang Wenchuan, who was one of the eighteen closest guards to your ancestor Ye Wentian.”
“Shen Yunrui is the top alchemist of Shengdan Pavilion. If you defeat him, you will not only help me but also avenge your Ye clan and bring them honor.”
Ye Wushuang smiled helplessly, “Do you really believe I can defeat him?”
Mu Qiqi was taken aback for a moment.
She had acted impulsively, driven by her anger at seeing Old Cheng in such a desperate situation, and had made a bold claim without thinking.
But as she spoke, her mind involuntarily thought of Ye Wushuang.
However, could Ye Wushuang really engage in a discussion with a top-tier alchemist?
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “But you are right.”
“Since I am here, I should let some people know that the Ye clan has returned to the capital.”
Ye Wushuang patted Mu Qiqi on the shoulder and continued, “However, since you asked for my help, I will set the rules.”
Rules?
What rules?
At that moment, Mu Qiqi was stunned as Ye Wushuang stepped forward.
“I am indeed a guest alchemist of Qingyun Pavilion, Ye Wushuang.”
Ye Wushuang looked at Shen Yunrui and said calmly with a smile, “Since Master Shen Yunrui is here on behalf of Shengdan Pavilion to challenge the alchemists of Qingyun Pavilion, I, as a member of Qingyun Pavilion, have the right to participate.”
“You?”
Shen Yunrui raised an eyebrow and sneered, “Young man, when I was already familiar with alchemical ingredients, you were probably still swimming in your mother’s womb.”
“Hahaha…”
As Shen Yunrui spoke, the onlookers burst into laughter.
A sixteen- or seventeen-year-old youth, attempting to engage in a discussion of the alchemical arts with the most renowned alchemist in the capital to determine superiority?
It was nothing short of absurd!
