Chapter 69 The Well-Known Good-for-Nothing

Taking advantage of the break, Zhou Xianzong took out his diary and started making notes.

Judging by the time, it's about time. I reckon Ning Shiyu has already been beaten up by Xiao Potian.

Honestly, this girl is really unlucky. Of all people to mess with, she had to pick on the protagonist, and the worst part is she doesn't even know who beat her up.

I remember that after she returned to the princess's mansion, she sent many people to investigate the matter, but she was, after all, the main character, and she never left any clues. How could they possibly find out?

[But it's okay, I'll get revenge for you in a bit and give Xiao Potian a good humiliation.]

[I remember Xiao Potian was supposed to come to the Alchemist Guild later, hoping to pass the alchemy assessment and obtain an eighth-grade alchemist badge, but unfortunately, he ran into me.]

[Hmph, as the villain, do you think I'll let him have it easy? Watch me humiliate him in a bit and then kick him out.]

[It was this one of the few times I was humiliated that made Xiao Potian resent me again, and also created an opportunity for him to meet Xing Yueyue.]

Because Xiao Potian needed to use one of the alchemists' guild's alchemy furnaces to refine a pill to treat Luo Le'er's cold illness, he returned the next day. This time, he succeeded, astonishing everyone and earning a badge.

[Xingyueyue happened to be there too, and she admired him immensely, which also deepened her affection for him.]

But how could this silly woman know that he came all this way for Luo Le'er? Sigh...

"Hmph, didn't you say I didn't know who did it? Well, I know anyway."

Not only do I know, but I also intend to take revenge on Xiao Potian!

Ning Shiyu muttered through gritted teeth.

She is definitely not the kind of person who can endure things.

In addition, the princess had warned her not to abuse her power during this trip.

Once Xiao Potian runs back to Qingyang Sect, she'll be in real trouble.

"Black Steel!"

Ning Shiyu called out towards the door.

"Miss, what can I do for you?"

Hei Gang walked in; he was the leader of the team protecting Ning Shiyu.

He possesses the cultivation level of the Celestial Realm.

"Remember that kid who fought with me for the Bone-Regenerating Herb at the auction today? He's going to the Alchemist Guild later, so you'd better give him a good beating."

He grinded his silver teeth as he wrote the poem.

"This, Miss, isn't that a bit inappropriate? The princess forbids us from causing trouble."

Kurogane gave a reminder.

"Why are you spouting so much nonsense? Just go when I tell you to, you hear me? I'm the boss outside."

Ning Shiyu was a little angry.

Seeing this, Black Steel quickly agreed, as he couldn't afford to offend this ancestor.

"By the way, don't reveal your identity."

Ning Shiyu offered a reminder.

It wasn't that she was afraid of Xiao Potian.

She was still a little worried that if Zhou Xianzong found out about this, he might come and deal with her.

It wasn't just Ning Shiyu who had strong opinions; Xing Yueyue's opinions were even stronger.

What does it mean to have more love in one's heart?

I don't love Xiao Potian at all, okay? Besides, so what if he got the eighth-grade alchemist badge?

What does that have to do with me?

I'm also an eighth-grade alchemist.

They make it sound like I'm worse than them.

However, what made Xing Yueyue a little depressed was that she really had to come to the Alchemist Guild tomorrow.

She passed the assessment last time, but unfortunately the president wasn't there, so she couldn't get the badge. They told her to come and pick it up tomorrow.

"Sigh, why do I always run into Xiao Potian?"

Xingyueyue was a little irritable.

Ever since Xiao Potian used the formation to kill Leng Dao and the others last time, Xing Yueyue has been somewhat resigned to her fate.

It seemed that no matter how much she resisted, she could not defy this predetermined fate.

In the Alchemist Guild, Zhou Xianzong was savoring a cup of fragrant tea.

You know what, these old men who make medicine actually know how to enjoy life; they use only the finest tea buds.

His life was much more comfortable than he had imagined.

"Is your guild leader here? I need to take the test for the eighth-grade alchemist badge."

Just then, a voice full of arrogance and confidence rang out.

These words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Everyone turned to look, and saw a young man in his early twenties, wearing a trench coat, looking travel-worn, with the air of a Western cowboy.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Xianzong couldn't help but put down his teacup and look at the young man.

"I was almost asleep waiting, you've finally arrived."

Indeed, the person who arrived was Xiao Potian.

"Young friend, you...you said you want to take the exam to become an eighth-grade alchemist?"

An old man, well past fifty, asked incredulously.

You should know that alchemists are one in a million.

Even among ten thousand cultivators, there might not be one alchemist.

As for high-level alchemists, they are even rarer.

This is why alchemists are highly respected and admired wherever they go.

Even their union president is only a seventh-rank official.

This young man, who was only in his early twenties, actually claimed that he wanted to take the test for the eighth-rank badge.

This is just too amazing.

At his age, if he succeeds, his future achievements will likely be no less than those of the chairman.

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Xiao Potian's arrogance grew even stronger.

He just loves the feeling of being the center of attention; it makes him feel great.

Xiao Potian smiled confidently and said in a very pretentious manner.

"Heh, just an eighth-rank official, nothing to brag about."

hiss!

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

How arrogant!

"Where did this madman come from, daring to be so arrogant, not even putting an eighth-grade alchemist in his eyes?"

Suddenly, a cold laugh rang out.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

Xiao Potian also looked over with some displeasure, thinking to himself, "Which bastard dares to stop me from showing off?"

When he saw who was speaking, his face instantly darkened.

Because the person who spoke was none other than Emperor Xianzong of Zhou.

"Zhou Xianzong, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Potian was very angry, but he understood that he was no match for Zhou Xianzong yet.

"Me? Ha! This Crown Prince is respected wherever he goes. But you, a mere third-level Qi Refining Realm trash, dare to boast about taking the eighth-grade badge exam? What a joke!"

Zhou Xianzong made sarcastic remarks without any mercy.

He was overjoyed.

Hahaha... Xiao Potian, you bastard, you always try to act tough in front of me.

Today I'm going to humiliate you properly.

Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

That's one good thing about Xiao Potian; he's always full of confidence, no matter what.

Seeing Xiao Potian's confidence and brimming self-assurance, everyone was at a loss as to whom to believe.

"Gentlemen, do you think I'm afraid of you? He's just a well-known good-for-nothing in the Qingyang Sect, a mere third-level Qi Opening Realm cultivator who speaks more arrogantly than the heavens. In my opinion, we should throw him out immediately. How can we allow him to defile such a sacred place as the Alchemist Guild!"

Zhou Xianzong truly brought the villain to life.

The oppressive feeling of being high above everyone made them feel suffocated.

“Prince Zhou is right. Guards, throw him out.”

An old man immediately chimed in.

"Zhou Xianzong, you...you dare let me try?!"

Xiao Potian panicked.

"Try? You dare use the guild's alchemy furnace? Get out of here, or do you want me, the Crown Prince, to do it myself?"

Zhou Xianzong gave a cold shout.

Swish, swish.

Seeing Zhou Xianzong's anger, the union's thugs didn't dare to hesitate. One grabbed Xiao Potian, while the other kicked him away.

Awesome, so awesome!

Zhou Xianzong was overjoyed.

You always like to show off, do you think I can't teach you a lesson?
