Piaomiao Sect's outer gate, Medicine Refining Hall.
"Teacher Zhou, Zhenlie Hall disciple Nangong Liuli is looking for you!"
A disciple quickly ran into the alchemy room, knelt on one knee and said to Zhou Xueyuan who was refining alchemy.
"Bastard, didn't you see that this mentor was refining the elixir at the critical moment?"
Zhou Xueyuan was furious, "Not to mention a disciple of the Zhenlie Hall, even if the inner sect master comes, I will not see him at all!"
"yes!"
The disciple who came to report nodded and immediately cast an apologetic look at Nangong Liuli behind him.
Nangong Liuli frowned.
She also knew that Zhou Xueyuan was famous for his bad temper, especially at the critical moment of alchemy. Let alone an outer disciple like her, even if the instructor came, he would probably have to wait outside.
But when she thought of Ye Chen's situation, she couldn't care so much anymore and said bravely: "Teacher Zhou, Ye Chen asked his disciple to bring you a message..."
"Are you deaf?"
Before Nangong Liuli finished speaking, Zhou Xueyuan said angrily: "This teacher is at the critical moment of refining alchemy. Even if the sect master comes in person, he still has to wait outside... What did you say? Ye Chen?"
Halfway through his angry words, he turned into an exclamation.
He even didn't care about refining alchemy anymore and rushed out quickly, staring at Nangong Liuli with stern eyes, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
Nangong Liuli was puzzled.
Didn't you just say that even when the sect leader comes, he has to wait outside?
Why was Zhou Xueyuan so panicked when he mentioned Ye Chen?
How could Ye Chen have such great ability that he could actually make Zhou Xueyuan, who they all were in awe of, care so much?
"boom!"
There was an explosion, and a puff of white smoke rose from Zhou Xueyuan's cauldron.
Because no one was around to take care of him, the elixir that was about to be made was instantly burned to ashes.
"Teacher Zhou, your elixir..."
Nangong Liuli was filled with regret, but Zhou Xueyuan waved his hand impatiently, "Never mind the pills, tell me quickly what message Ye Chen asked you to give to this instructor!"
"Ye Chen said he was leaving!" Nangong Liuli said angrily.
"Then what?" Zhou Xueyuan became more urgent, "Is there nothing else?"
"No, no more!" Nangong Liuli wiped away the cold sweat.
In fact, not only Zhou Xueyuan, she also felt strange when Ye Chen asked her to bring a message.
What use can such a plain statement serve?
"there is none left?"
Zhou Xueyuan frowned at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly changed, "No, no, no, he can't leave. What will I do if he leaves?"
"Teacher Zhou, what are you talking about?" Nangong Liuli asked.
"Stop asking, where is Ye Chen? Take me there quickly!" Zhou Xueyuan urged.
Nangong Liuli became even more confused. Ye Chen was leaving. Is it necessary for Zhou Xueyuan to be so panicked?
Confused, despite Zhou Xueyuan's repeated urging, she immediately led him to the testing site.
However, when she arrived with Zhou Xueyuan, Ye Chen's final test results were announced on the test stand.
"Ye Chen, because he has failed many tests, he cannot become a member of the Piaomiao Sect!"
In one sentence, Ye Chen's fate was almost pronounced.
Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry, he just waited quietly.
Ye Yanran, who was standing next to him, had a face full of anxiety, "Brother, if you can't join the Piaomiao Sect, I don't want to stay here either!"
Originally she was just saying this to Ye Chen, but when the elders and mentors who were surrounding her heard this, they instantly panicked.
"Little girl, you can't leave!"
"You just passed the test, you can't go back on your promise!"
"Everyone else can leave, but you can't!"
What a joke, Ye Yanran is a genius that has never appeared in the Piaomiao Sect in thousands of years. How could they let her go so easily?
"But I just want to be with my brother!"
Ye Yanran quickly hid behind Ye Chen, holding onto Ye Chen's arms with both hands, looking at the surrounding Piaomiao Sect elders and mentors with the same vigilance as looking at a bad uncle who abducted children.
A group of elders and mentors were extremely depressed.
Ye Yanran's cultivation talent is indeed frighteningly high, but her character is too simple!
In order to make Ye Yanran understand the benefits of staying in the Piaomiao Sect, these elders and mentors tried their best to talk about their personal interests and the common people in the world, and then even coaxed and deceived her.
However, no matter how much they talked and her mouth went dry, Ye Yanran still said, "Wherever my brother goes, I will go!"
Elders and mentors: "..."
Ye Chen also couldn't help laughing.
He didn't persuade Ye Yanran just now, not because he really wanted Ye Yanran to follow him, but because he wanted to use his sister's weight to gain more bargaining chips for himself.
"Master Ye!"
At this time, an old voice came from behind the crowd.
"Is it finally here?"
Ye Chen recognized the person before he even saw him.
Because this voice was so familiar to him.
Sure enough, as the crowd parted, two figures quickly stepped forward.
One man, with white beard and hair, looks very old.
It is Zhou Xueyuan, the instructor of the Piaomiao Sect’s outer medicine refining hall!
As for the other person, it was Nangong Liuli who had just gone to send a message to Ye Chen.
"It's Teacher Zhou!"
"Why is this old man here?"
"You are so old and you are still walking so fast. What if you twist your waist?"
"Did you hear it just now? What did he call Master Ye?"
"And looking at his eager look, could it be that there is a big shot around him who is respected even more than Teacher Zhou?"
Seeing Zhou Xueyuan's anxious look, everyone was surprised.
Nangong Liuli, who followed, was shocked.
Others didn't know who "Master Ye" Zhou Xueyuan was talking about, so how could she not guess it?
It must be referring to Ye Chen!
Sure enough, after Zhou Xueyuan quickly walked to Ye Chen, he actually ignored the countless pairs of astonished eyes around him, bowed respectfully to Ye Chen, and said earnestly: "Master Ye, you haven't left yet, it's really great!
"
If you don’t say anything shocking, you will die!
Zhou Xueyuan's actions just now and what he said to Ye Chen were like thunder in the sky to everyone around him.
Isn't Ye Chen a waste with no talent for cultivation?
How could he actually make Zhou Xueyuan, a highly respected alchemist, bow to him and respectfully address him as "Master Ye"?
Is Zhou Xueyuan out of his mind? Or is he crazy?
Not only the people who came to take part in the test, but also the surrounding Piaomiao Sect disciples and elders and mentors were all dumbfounded.
Even Nangong Liuli was shocked.
But when she thought of Ye Chen's inscrutable alchemy skills, she seemed to understand something again, and secretly murmured: "Could it be that Ye Chen once achieved an achievement in alchemy skills that even Instructor Zhou was convinced of?"
Only this possibility can explain the subversive scene in front of us.
"Senior Zhou, why are you here?"
Ye Chen smiled and mocked himself meaningfully: "It seems that I am destined to miss your Piaomiao Sect!"
