"Qiqi thanks the president for your appreciation!"
Hua Qiqi saluted and thanked her. She was not so attached to the position of conference chairperson from the bottom of her heart.
But as a member of the alchemist's union, I grew up here and don't want the union to become a tool for others to seek profits.
Seeing that the president's heir was settled, several people in the room had different reactions.
Wu Zheng and the others were naturally overjoyed. In their hearts, Hua Qiqi was the most suitable candidate for the next president.
Luo Rong, Mo Chongba, and Liu Baimei were full of anger and unwillingness, but they did not dare to show any signs of it.
After all, the Alchemist Guild has been developing for so many years, and the forces within it are relatively balanced. Even if they face the second elder and three others, they don't have much advantage, and what's more, they are facing the president.
In contrast, Kong Lingyuan was calmer in his heart. He was originally a centrist and would favor whichever side had greater interests. He was not very enthusiastic about who should be the president.
Xie Hongying stood behind the Great Elder and others, her head lowered. No one knew what she was thinking.
Zhuge Qingyang signaled Hua Qiqi to step aside, and then introduced Ye Bufan to everyone present.
"This is Doctor Ye Bufan, a good friend of Qi Qi. It was all thanks to him that he cured my injury this time and also relieved me of the poison poisoned by others."
There was a hint of chill in his voice at the end. It was obvious that his poisoning was caused by an insider of the Alchemist Guild, but it was still unclear who it was.
Luo Rong and Mo Chongba naturally knew what was going on, but they were both old foxes, so naturally they would not show anything strange. Instead, their faces were full of shock.
"How could this happen? Who dares to poison the president? Could it be that there is a mole in the Alchemist Guild?"
Luo Rong was so indignant that he seemed to have forgotten that he planned all of this.
The second elder, Wu Zheng, was really angry. He didn't expect that the president would be manipulated under his nose, and he felt extremely guilty at the same time.
"It's because I didn't protect myself well. Please punish me, President!"
Zhuge Qingyang waved his hand: "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you, there is no need to blame yourself."
"Mr. Ye, thank you for your help."
Wu Zheng was the first to express his gratitude to Ye Bufan, and others followed closely behind.
Luo Rong, Mo Chongba and others also followed suit and bowed to express their thanks, but in their hearts they hated the young man in front of them and wished they could be cut into pieces with thousands of knives.
If the other party hadn't cured Zhuge Qingyang, his plan would have been successful, and he wouldn't be as passive as he is now.
Apart from being shocked and angry, something stirred up in their hearts. They had made a big fuss in the alchemist union assessment hall before and injured Fan Dongping and Kong Xifeng with the same name. I wonder if they were the same person.
The same was true for Kong Lingyuan. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes became sharp.
Zhuge Qingyang looked at Ye Bufan: "Doctor Ye, you saved me this time and also helped the Alchemist Guild a lot.
Thank you for your kindness. From now on, you will be the old man's great benefactor. If you have any requests, just ask me. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
"Senior Zhuge, you're welcome!"
Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "I came to Lingxiao City this time for nothing else. I just want to get an alchemist badge and then participate in the Alchemy King Competition."
Ye Bufan didn't want to repay a favor, he just wanted to hurry up and didn't want to delay too much here.
After all, he had seen the behavior of those in the Alchemist Guild before, so he might not cause any trouble next time he went there.
If Zhuge Qingyang comes forward, everything should be simplified a lot, at least it won't be so troublesome. After all, his time is precious.
But as soon as he said these words, the hearts of Luo Rong and Kong Lingyuan immediately became uneasy.
Before, they had speculated whether Ye Bufan had the same name as that person, but now they were sure that it was the person in front of them.
Zhuge Qingyang didn't know anything about what happened in the Alchemist Guild. In his opinion, this matter couldn't be simpler.
"Qiqi, please take Mr. Ye to the assessment hall now. Except for the assessment procedures, which cannot be omitted, everything else should be kept simple."
But before Hua Qiqi could say anything, Luo Rong stood up.
"President, I think this matter is inappropriate."
This old guy looks respectful and speaks like a president. In fact, he doesn't have much respect for Zhuge Qingyang in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have done so many conspiracies before.
Having been in the Alchemist Guild for so many years, being able to secure the position of Great Elder certainly has his own way of doing things.
He has figured out Zhuge Qingyang's temper. As long as he abides by the rules of the Alchemist Guild, the other party can't do anything to him.
"Great Elder, what do you mean by this?"
Zhuge Qingyang was a little surprised. In his opinion, it was not an easy matter for young talents to obtain the alchemist badge.
"This is the kind of president you are..."
Luo Rong recounted what happened at the Alchemist Guild. Of course, the key point was that Ye Bufan injured Kong Xifeng and Fan Dongping.
At the end of the story, he said: "Although Mr. Ye was successful in curing the president, he forced his way into the alchemist's union and injured the deputy leader of the law enforcement hall. He also seriously injured Mr. Kong Xifeng.
According to the rules of the Alchemist Guild, there are rewards for merit and penalties for demerits.
He cured the president, and our Alchemist Guild can provide corresponding remuneration.
But with such bad behavior, this kind of person is not suitable to be an alchemist, let alone to take the assessment badge test in the assessment hall.
Not only are such people ineligible to obtain the badge, they will also be blacklisted and will not be able to enter the Alchemist Guild for the rest of their lives."
At this moment, Luo Rong knew very well that Ye Bufan was the young man who had disrupted all his plans and made all his previous efforts in vain.
It's a pity that I can't take revenge now, but I must do everything possible to destroy what the other party wants to do.
He cannot be allowed to get the alchemist badge, nor can he participate in the Alchemy King Competition, so as to make him feel bad.
Kong Lingyuan also had the same idea. His grandson could not be beaten in vain, so he immediately stood up.
"President, I think this should be the case. After all, there is no rule. With his bad behavior, he is not suitable to be an alchemist at all."
Zhuge Qingyang frowned. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this. What was originally just an ordinary badge assessment would turn out to be so complicated.
He did not express his position directly, but looked at Ye Bufan.
"Doctor Ye, is that so?"
Ye Bufan finally understood that the two old guys in front of him were the backers of Kong Xifeng and Fan Dongping, and it was only then that he stepped forward to cause trouble for himself.
"It's true, but it happens for a reason..."
Ye Bufan told the truth about what happened again, without omitting anything.
There was no excuse after that, and he stood there quietly waiting for Zhuge Qingyang's attitude.
As soon as he finished speaking, the second elder Wu Zheng stood up.
"Mr. President, during the time when you were seriously ill, some people were actually misbehaving in our Alchemist Guild, and among them was Kong Xifeng, the grandson of Mr. San Zhang.
How unbecoming is it to collect tolls in front of my Alchemist Guild? Such people should be beaten.
Including Fan Dongping, the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall, he ignored those who should be in charge and acted wildly in those who should not. In this case, it is reasonable for Mr. Ye to impose punishment, and there is no fault."
