Qin Shou had another backward glance, only to find all Youming disciples sitting on the square cross-legged.
Qin Shou was helpless, and the patriarch's disciples just arrived at the square; he had no option but to surrender.
"You...You haven't seen the last of me. I'll sort out all of you after the martial contest!"
In the meantime, he made his way to the Youming disciples.
Wu Gui posed a warning, regardless of what he said.
"Qin Shou! If you offend Brother Lin again, I'm gonna smash your mouth. You hear me?"
Oddly enough, Qin Shou got up enough courage and fought back.
"Leave it till you confront my big brother in the contest!"
However, Wu Gui simply shrugged it off.
"Sorry! I'm not in the mood to take part!"
This was his visceral decision. For his part, it would usher in a broader prospect for him to learn alchemy with Lin Xiao.
On hearing that, Qin Shou tumbled and almost burst into blood spitting.
"How can you back out? How can you back out?"
He couldn't come to terms with that — he was dying to see Wu Gui defeated by Yi Jia.
However, He burst into a laugh immediately.
"That's fine! See you six months later! I'll make all of you beg for my mercy on your knees!"
Lin Xiao and Wu Gui went shocked by his stupidity.
Then a disciple standing by offered an explanation in the way of telling a joke.
"He said that the Youming disciples could make inroads into the top ten. After they get the pellets as prizes, they will give the pellets to him instead. He said he would be the first disciple to have two Most Refined Royal Pellets."
A twitch popped onto Wu Gui's mouth straight away. Without Lin Xiao's presence, he would have broken into waves of laughter.
However, Wang Manyun attached no attention to formalities at all. She stared at Lin Xiao, beaming radiantly.
She learned that Lin Xiao was the producer of all the Most Refined Royal Pellets yesterday; she also obtained another pellet herself.
So did her brother and Wu Gui.
Lin Xiao even promised them all-weather supplies of the pellets as long as they saw fit.
As a matter of fact, Wang Manyun was reluctant to accept his generous offer. However, she changed her mind on knowing that Lin Xiao fed Diling the spiritual monster with hundreds of pellets of this kind like random food.
Qin Shou's unblushing brag greatly startled Wan Manyun. However, she dared not tell the truth.
Nevertheless, the alchemy marvel himself turned up. Wang Manyun didn't have to hold back her laugh again. She fixed her eyes on Lin Xiao, admiration welling up in her eyes.
On seeing that, Lin Xiao uttered a wry smile.
Right then, a disciple delivered a message.
"Here come the three chief seniors!"
Like anybody else, Lin Xiao cast a look at the dais in the front of the great central square.
