Chapter 51 After Certification

In the Alchemist Guild, an old man looked at Mu Chen's leaving back, and a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes.

"Grandpa, even Muchen has become a first-level alchemist, but I still haven't found the way." A young girl standing next to the old man said with a troubled look on her face.

"Don't be anxious. Sometimes enlightenment only takes a moment. If you think about it carefully, you may be able to successfully refine it into a pill." The old man comforted.

"Has Muchen taken some magic medicine recently? How come he has been transformed so suddenly?" The girl frowned and asked in confusion.

"I don't know! However, Mu Chen now really cannot be underestimated. Judging from the situation, the Mu family seems to be getting another alchemist." The old man looked at Mu Chen's back and said thoughtfully.

"I originally thought that this guy was giving away 300 yuan for the certification fee, but I didn't expect that he could actually make pills. It's incredible that a piece of mud can actually be helped to climb the wall." The girl tilted her head and said.

"When you've been away for three days, you should look at him with new eyes!" The old man sighed, stroking his beard. When Mu Chen was refining the elixir, he stood beside him. Mu Chen's control over the temperature and his grasp of the elixir were both first-class.

"Mu Chen, he actually managed to refine the pill by wasting only a handful of herbs. Either he is lucky, or his pill success rate is not low." The girl said thoughtfully.

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "His alchemy skills may surpass his father's in the future."

"Grandpa, you're praising him too much. Who knows if his old illness will relapse someday?" the girl said disapprovingly.

"How did you get involved with Lan Ruofeng and Zhuang Yu?" Mu Chen asked warily.

"I don't want to talk to them, but they both insist on pestering me, and I have no choice." Ye Shi said with some distress, his brows furrowed.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "Lan Ruofeng is a pervert, so stay away from him."

Ye Shi: "..." Lan Ruofeng is a pervert? Although this person looks weird and a bit annoying, but, is he a pervert? It seems that is an exaggeration.

"Mu Chen, are you jealous of Lan Ruofeng?" Ye Shi came forward and asked.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes! I'm just jealous of Lan Ruofeng."

In the book, Ye Shi risked his life several times for Lan Ruofeng, and Lan Ruofeng was always distant towards Ye Shi. According to the author, this was a gentleness that was unique to Lan Ruofeng. Even if Lan Ruofeng had no intention of hurting Ye Shi, he couldn't bear to hurt the other party.

Mu Chen didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when he saw the living Ye Shi, Mu Chen immediately sneered at Lan Ruofeng as written by the author. What gentleness? Lan Ruofeng just didn't like Ye Shi, but he didn't want to lose Ye Shi as a helper, so he kept Ye Shi hanging.

"Are we going back now?" Ye Shi asked Mu Chen.

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "No, let's go to Tianhe Restaurant first."

"Why? Haven't you always liked to go to the restaurant where I used to work?" Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen in confusion.

"The chicken at Tianhe Restaurant is the best. Don't you like chicken?" Mu Chen said lightly.

Ye Shi blinked and said, "How could I have that?"

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said, "Don't you like eating chicken?"

Ye Shi puffed out his cheeks and said, "I don't really like to eat either, but if you want to eat, I can accompany you."

Mu Chen: “…”

"I like eating chicken very much. Shitou, please accompany me to eat." Mu Chen said sincerely.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."

…………

"Good news, good news, Young Master Muchen has successfully passed the Alchemist Guild's first-level alchemist certification and has become a first-level alchemist." The steward ran in hurriedly and said.

When Mu Yuanhang heard the steward's words, he immediately looked at Mu Yuanfeng in surprise and suspicion.

Mu Yuanfeng drank his tea calmly, his face expressionless, without a trace of surprise or suspicion.

It was no secret that Mu Chen was learning alchemy from Mu Yuanfeng, but Mu Yuanfeng never told Mu Chen about his progress, so Mu Yuanhang just thought that Mu Chen didn't have the talent.

"Second brother, you kept it a secret so well. I didn't expect that Chen'er could refine a first-level pill so quickly." Mu Yuanhang said.

Mu Yuanfeng smiled faintly and said, "Chen'er, you have just started learning, and your success rate is still low. The pills you refine cannot even offset the value of the wasted spiritual herbs. It is nothing."

Mu Yuanhang forced a smile and said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Chen'er has passed the first-level alchemist certification in such a short time. This shows that Chen'er's talent in alchemy is outstanding!"

"No, big brother, you're too kind. Chen'er is still far from it." Although Mu Yuanfeng said this, he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.

Mu Ke looked at Mu Yuanfeng, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Although he had also heard that Mu Chen seemed to have turned over a new leaf, he only thought that Mu Chen was just a flash in the pan. Now that he found out that Mu Chen had become a first-level alchemist, he couldn't help but look at Mu Chen with admiration.

"Where is Mu Chen? Has he come back?" Mu Ke asked.

"It seems not yet." The butler said embarrassedly.

Mu Ke frowned and said, "After he was certified as a first-level alchemist, he didn't come back. Where did he go?"

"He took Young Master Ye to dinner." The butler said stiffly.

"Young Master Ye, which Young Master Ye is this?" Mu Ke asked.

Mu Yuanfeng said calmly: "That's Ye He's grandson."

Mu Ke said in surprise: "Mu Chen really likes that."

Mu Yuanfeng nodded and said, "I think Chen'er likes it very much."

…………

"Mu Chen, long time no see!" Chen Moran walked into the restaurant and stared at Mu Chen.

When Mu Chen saw Chen Moran, he raised his eyebrows with interest. Chen Moran seemed to be having a very miserable life recently.

This guy's overly servile behavior towards Zhuang Yu finally aroused the disgust of the elders of the Chen family. Not only was he put in solitary confinement, but his allowance was also cut.

Poor guy, he had already started to gradually escape from the path of cannon fodder, but Chen Moran seemed to be getting deeper and deeper into it than in the book.

"Brother Chen, it's you! Do you want to sit down and have something to eat?" Mu Chen said indifferently.

Chen Moran smiled faintly and said, "Since Brother Mu has invited me, I will not refuse."

Ye Shi curled his lips and thought: This guy is really rude.

Chen Moran looked at the alchemist robe on the table and the golden seal on the robe, frowned, and asked, "What is this?"

"This is the first-level alchemist certification seal! This is a first-level alchemist robe. It is said that this kind of clothes cannot be worn casually." Ye Shi said with some pride.

Chen Moran looked at Mu Chen and said in surprise, "You have become a first-level alchemist."

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Did you learn alchemy from your father?" Chen Moran said with a gloomy face.

"Yeah!" Mu Chen replied indifferently.

"Mu Chen, are you still Mu Chen?" Chen Moran asked with a frown.

Mu Chen tilted his head and said, "Of course I am Mu Chen. Who else could I be if not Mu Chen?"

"Mu Chen, you once said that alchemy is hard, tiring and boring, and you don't want to touch it in your life. You also said that you like Zhuang Yu, and if you can't pursue him, you will be single for the rest of your life." Chen Moran stared at Mu Chen and said.

Mu Chen: "..." What nonsense is this idiot original owner talking about? Single his entire life, no wonder this guy is pursuing Zhuang Yu so hard.

Ye Shi frowned and looked at Mu Chen in confusion.

Mu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Chen, everyone has been young and frivolous. Those words are just talk, don't take them seriously."

Chen Moran narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you really planning to give up on Zhuang Yu?"

"Of course." Mu Chen said without hesitation.

Chen Moran's face darkened as he said, "Mu Chen, when did you become so hopeless? Just because Zhuang Yu has Lan Ruofeng by your side, are you planning to retreat without a fight?"

What on earth does Chen Moran want to do with this look of disappointment?

Mu Chen looked at Chen Moran in confusion, holding his chin and said, "Mr. Chen, what on earth do you want to say?"

Chen Moran's expression changed, and then he said unwillingly, "Zhuang Yu is now completely bewitched by Lan Ruofeng."

Mu Chen shrugged and said indifferently: "Oh, and then..."

"Aren't you going to say something?" Chen Moran said with a dark face.

Mu Chen shrugged and said, "What do you want me to say... Do you want me to help you pursue Zhuang Yu?" Mu Chen suddenly thought of something.

Chen Moran said disapprovingly, "It's not about helping me, it's about helping us. We can first join forces to drive Lan Ruofeng away, and then we can compete fairly."

What on earth was Chen Moran thinking? Two cannon fodders formed an alliance and wanted to break up the destined protagonist. This would only lead to their death faster, okay?
