At that moment, Shen Yunrui offered a faint smile and said, “So it is you, Miss Mu Qiqi, the genius alchemist from the Blue Cloud Pavilion.”
Shen Yunrui, however, was unmoved and sneered, “I have come here to seek guidance and discuss alchemy with Master Cheng Yuanbai. The fact that he is inferior to me is undeniable, is it not?”
“Everyone knows that the Blue Cloud Pavilion has always been second to my Holy Dan Pavilion.”
“I merely want Master Cheng Yuanbai to admit his inferiority to me, Shen Yunrui, in person. What’s wrong with that? He truly is not my match!”
Upon hearing these words, Mu Qiqi became even more infuriated.
At that moment, Cheng Yuanbai grabbed Mu Qiqi’s arm and said helplessly, “Qiqi, your master has brought shame upon you…”
“Master,” Mu Qiqi turned her gaze to Shen Yunrui and snorted, “For mere theoretical discussions, there is no need for Master Cheng Yuanbai to step forward. You, Shen Yunrui, are not worthy!”
“Oh?”
Shen Yunrui sneered again, “But Master Cheng Yuanbai has already failed to answer six questions!”
“Miss Mu Qiqi, boasting like this will only lead to embarrassment…”
Mu Qiqi retorted with a cold laugh, “I say you are not worthy, and you are not. A guest alchemist from our Blue Cloud Pavilion is more than enough to discuss alchemy with you and make you truly convinced.”
Shen Yunrui burst into laughter.
“Miss Mu Qiqi, speaking so confidently may leave you with no way to back down.”
Mu Qiqi immediately steeled herself and snorted, “Dare you or not?”
“Who says I dare not?”
In the entire Blue Cloud Pavilion, Cheng Yuanbai was the strongest in alchemy. If even he had failed, no one else would stand a chance.
Mu Qiqi’s refusal to admit defeat was nothing but an invitation to humiliation.
At that moment, Mu Qiqi approached the crowd and pulled Ye Wushuang out, looking at Shen Yunrui and snorting, “This is Ye Wushuang, a guest alchemist from our Blue Cloud Pavilion. He will discuss alchemy with you!”
In that instant, all the warriors present were astounded, their jaws dropping in disbelief.
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?
Did she just pull him out as a shield?
Mu Qiqi leaned close to Ye Wushuang and whispered, “Have you forgotten what Shi Hua told you? The Holy Dan 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.”
“This Shen Yunrui is the top alchemist of the Holy Dan Pavilion. If you defeat him, you will not only help me but also avenge your Ye clan.”
Ye Wushuang smiled helplessly, “Do you really believe I can defeat him?”
Mu Qiqi was taken aback for a moment.
She had acted impulsively, seeing Master Cheng in such a desperate situation and unable to bear it, stepping forward and making bold claims.
But as the words tumbled out, her mind unconsciously turned to Ye Wushuang.
However, could Ye Wushuang really match up against 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’s shoulder and continued, “But 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 the Blue Cloud Pavilion, Ye Wushuang.”
Ye Wushuang looked at Shen Yunrui and said calmly with a smile, “Since Master Shen Yunrui has come to the Blue Cloud Pavilion on behalf of the Holy Dan Pavilion to challenge our alchemists, I, as a member of the Blue Cloud 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 soon as Shen Yunrui spoke, everyone around burst into laughter.
A sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy, attempting to discuss alchemy and compete with the top alchemical master of the capital?
It was simply the height of absurdity!
