Mu Chen lay on his bed, deep in thought. He pondered over the fact that he had transmigrated into a character who, for the sake of a white lotus, broke off an engagement, spent fortunes, and fierce...
Chapter 61: Level 2 Alchemist Certification
"Young Master, I have some news about the person you asked me to investigate. Ye Shi has moved into the Mu family. He has a good relationship with Mu Chen. Mu Yuanfeng also thinks highly of him. It is said that Mu Yuanfeng spent 100,000 yuan stones to buy Ye Shi an admission letter from the Holy Star Academy." A man in black said to Lan Ruofeng.
Lan Ruofeng narrowed his eyes, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, "Mu Yuanfeng actually values Ye Shi so much, it's really unexpected."
Why was Muchen so kind to Ye Shi? Was he truly attracted to Ye Shi? Or perhaps, knowing about Ye Shi's relationship with Qu Kun, he was hoping to gain some advantage from Ye Shi?
Lan Ruofeng frowned. There was a voice in his heart reminding him that he had to find Ye Shi, otherwise he would lose something very important. Thinking of Ye Shi's appearance, Lan Ruofeng couldn't help but feel a little resistant.
"Young Master, Ye Shi has been promoted to a seven-star warrior. His aptitude is really good." The man in black reminded.
Lan Ruofeng nodded and said, "That's true, but it could also be due to the abuse of elixirs."
"Ruofeng." Zhuang Yu walked out of the house.
When Lan Ruofeng saw Zhuang Yu, his eyes were immediately filled with tenderness. Lan Ruofeng couldn't help but think: If Ye Shi was half as pretty as Zhuang Yu, he wouldn't have to be so conflicted.
"Ruofeng, what are you thinking about?" Zhuang Yu asked.
Lan Ruofeng smiled and said, "I miss you! Besides missing you, what else can I think of?"
Zhuang Yu glared at Lan Ruofeng angrily, "Slippery tongue."
Lan Ruofeng hugged Zhuang Yu and thought: Ye Shi will come to Holy Star Academy anyway, so there is no need for me to look for him now. They will meet naturally when they arrive at the academy.
Once he arrived at the academy and saw the world, Ye Shi would naturally know that someone like Mu Chen was no exception in the Holy Star Academy, which was full of talented people.
People like Ye Shi are not valued in the family and his mother and father died early. I believe that as long as I show a little kindness, he will naturally favor me.
…………
Mu Chen and Ye Shi found an Alchemist Guild in the city and walked in.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" A young girl in green came out and asked.
Ye Shi pointed at Mu Chen and said, "He is going to take the second-level alchemist certification."
"Please follow me." The girl didn't seem surprised at all when she heard Ye Shi's words. Ye Shi couldn't help but sigh that big cities and small cities are really different!
"The second-level alchemist certification requires a fee of 3,000 yuan stones." The girl said lightly as she walked in front of the two of them.
When Mu Chen heard the girl's words, his face turned pale. Ye Shi staggered and almost fell.
"Shi Tou, what's wrong with you?" Mu Chen asked Ye Shi.
Ye Shi shook his head and said embarrassedly, "Nothing?"
Ye Shi thought to himself: I only thought about Mu Chen becoming a Level 2 Alchemist so I could earn more Yuanshi every month, but I never considered that the Level 2 Alchemist certification would require so many Yuanshi, 3,000 Yuanshi! If I succeed, it will take ten months to recoup my investment. If I fail, that's the amount I could earn working in a restaurant for several years!
"Master Mu, please come this way. Sir, you can't go in." The woman in green stopped Ye Shi and said.
Ye Shi glanced anxiously in the direction where Mu Chen left, and paced back and forth uneasily.
The woman in green saw Ye Shi walking around and affecting the thinking of other people in the guild, so she kicked Ye Shi out.
Coincidentally, Ye Rong happened to see Ye Shi being asked to come out.
"Ye Shi, you were kicked out? Where is Mu Chen? I know, he dumped you. I wanted to remind Young Master Mu to keep his eyes open, but now it seems that there is no need." Ye Rong said with a gloating look.
A cold light flashed in Ye Shi's eyes, and he suddenly attacked Ye Rong. Ye Ming did not expect Ye Shi to attack so suddenly, and shouted "Master Shi."
Ye Shi punched Ye Rong, and Ye Rong spit out a mouthful of blood.
According to Ye Rong's personality, she would have cursed loudly after suffering such a great injustice, but looking at Ye Shi's murderous face, Ye Rong was shocked and terrified and just wanted to run away.
"Kill her! Kill her, this damn little girl. She has always been causing trouble for me in the past, and now she is trying to separate me and Muchen." There was a voice in his mind, constantly reminding Ye Shi, and Ye Shi's hand had already moved first.
Ye Ming was frightened by Ye Shi's sudden burst of murderous intent, "Master Shi, Master Shi, calm down!"
Ye Shi's hand suddenly grabbed Ye Rong's neck. Ye Rong hurriedly stepped back, the arrogance on her face suddenly disappeared, and she looked panicked and at a loss.
Ye Shi's eyes were blood red. "Stone." Mu Chen walked out and shouted softly.
Hearing Mu Chen's cry, the bloodshot in Ye Shi's eyes faded and he slowly loosened his hands around Ye Rong's neck.
Seeing Ye Shi wake up, Ye Rong took several steps back in panic.
Mu Chen frowned, and a hint of worry flashed across his eyes.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen's expression and hesitated a little, "Mu Chen, I..." Ye Shi wanted to explain something, but didn't know how.
Mu Chen reached out and held Ye Shi's hand, saying calmly, "Shi Tou, let's go."
Ye Shi looked at the two people's clasped hands and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Rong, having just recovered from her shock, watched the two men leave, her eyes filled with deep hatred.
Seeing the two men walk away, Ye Rong dared to complain angrily, "Ye Shi, this madman, he wants to kill me, he really wants to kill me. I really don't understand why grandpa protects him so much. People like him should die sooner and worry less."
Ye Rong had just been strangled by Ye Shi, and her voice was a little hoarse at the moment.
"Fourth sister, please stop talking. Are you okay? Can you still participate in the enrollment of Holy Star College in this condition?" Ye Wu said with concern, but there was a hint of gloating in his eyes.
Ye Rong gritted her teeth and said, "Don't bother with that."
"Ye Shi, what happened?" Ye Cheng asked in confusion.
When Ye Shi was at the Ye family, he was always hesitant. Ye Cheng never thought that Ye Shi would have the courage to attack Ye Rong, and to do so openly in the street.
Ye Ming frowned. Ye Shi's sudden attack just now really scared him. In his impression, Ye Shi was not such an impulsive person!
"Maybe Fourth Sister touched his reverse scale." Ye Wu said after thinking for a while.
"Reverse scale? Muchen?" Ye Cheng thought.
Ye Wu nodded and said, "That's probably right. With Ye Shi's looks, only someone with Muchen's taste for quality would be interested in him. Fourth sister, saying Muchen would abandon him naturally pissed Ye Shi off."
"Ye Shi, Mu Chen can actually tolerate such a violent temper. This guy must be a masochist." Ye Rong said viciously.
Ye Cheng looked at Muchen's back and said, "A second-generation rich man and a rotten stone are a good match."
"That guy Mu Chen left the Alchemist Guild so quickly, he must have failed." Ye Wu said thoughtfully.
As a few people were talking, several first-level alchemists came out.
"That young man just now was really amazing. He refined a level 2 pill in one go."
"Yeah! He looks like he's only about fourteen or fifteen. Young people these days are so talented."
"That guy seemed to be worried about his fiancée, so he hurriedly got the badge and the second-level alchemist robe and left."
"I heard from the maid inside that his fiancée is a twin and ugly. I really don't know what this guy likes."
"That young woman is very arrogant. She ignored Cheng Wanbai, the young lady of the Cheng family, when she tried to talk to her."
“…”
Ye Wu frowned and asked, "Are they talking about Mu Chen?"
Ye Cheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "It should be him."
"He actually became a second-level alchemist." Ye Wu said with a complicated expression.
…………
A stunningly beautiful woman walked out of the Alchemist Guild. When Ye Wu and Ye Cheng saw the woman, their faces were immediately filled with embarrassment.
Looking at Ye Wu and Ye Cheng's pig-like reactions, Ye Rong couldn't help but feel a bit more disdainful.
"Miss, don't be angry. He is just a second-level alchemist. It's nothing special. There are many such people in our family." The maid in green said to Cheng Wanbai.
Cheng Wanbai narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you know? There are many second-level alchemists in our family, but there is no one so young. Besides, you didn't see the way he made the alchemy. It was smooth and natural, perfect. I have only seen such precise techniques in my father."
The young girl in green muttered indignantly, "But, he... is so rude."
"Talented people always have strange tempers. Send someone to check where he went." Cheng Wanbai said indifferently.
The girl in green nodded and said, "Yes, Miss."
Ye Rong looked at Cheng Wanbai's receding back, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
"Come back to your senses. They've left." Ye Rong looked at Ye Wu and Ye Cheng and said unhappily.
"That lady is so beautiful!" Ye Wudao said.
Ye Rong rolled her eyes and said, "She is beautiful, but she is wearing a second-level alchemist robe. What a pity! She is attracted to Mu Chen, and it has nothing to do with you."
Ye Cheng frowned and said, "She's fallen for Mu Chen. I'm afraid Ye Shi will be divorced."
"Even if she wasn't there, Mu Chen would sooner or later be unable to stand Ye Shi, this rude guy." Ye Rong said unhappily.
