Chapter 441 The Wife-Indulging Devil King x The Useless Third Miss 10
"How's the investigation going?"
The prince was leaning on the couch, his arms around two scantily clad women, looking very romantic.
The prince's subordinates did not dare to disturb the prince's interest before, until the prince asked about it, then they dared to stand up.
"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, according to my investigation, the woman next to His Royal Highness the Ghost King was brought back by the Ghost King when he went out two months ago."
"And I also found out that this woman once sold pills at the Capital City Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh?" Xiao Chengyang pushed aside the two women beside him and asked, "Do you know what kind of elixir they are selling?"
Xiao Chengyang's men took out a porcelain bottle from their pockets and handed it to the prince, saying, "This is the Tixuan Pill, which I bought from someone else at a high price. This pill is worth nearly ten thousand gold coins."
Xiao Chengyang poured out the pill and smelled it, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Could she be an intermediate alchemist?"
"If I can use this girl, she will definitely be of great help to me."
Xiao Chengyang's men thought for a moment and asked, "What about Miss Wen? After all, it's not easy to offend Duke Wen."
Xiao Chengyang's eyes flashed with disgust, "Wen Yuezhi is a waste now. Why didn't I realize that she was a vicious fool before?"
"Using elixirs to temporarily increase your profound energy in a martial arts competition is just stupid."
"Arrange people to continue to pay attention to the Ghost King's Palace's every move. This woman must be captured."
"As for the Duke's Mansion... send someone to find Duke Wen to see me."
When Duke Wen heard that Xiao Chengyang wanted to see him, he was very confused. The Duke's Mansion has now been boycotted by the academy, and it will be much weaker than before. It is definitely not a good thing for His Highness to see him at this time.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Chengyang helped Duke Wen up and said, "Duke Wen, there is no need to do this. In my heart, no one can replace Duke Wen."
Duke Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I wonder why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called me here."
Xiao Chengyang personally poured a cup of tea for Duke Wen, and then said, "I want to change Yue'er to Liang Di."
"As for the candidate for the Crown Princess, the woman next to the Ghost King is the most suitable."
"This..." Duke Wen was holding his breath, angry at Xiao Chengyang's behavior of crossing the river and then destroying the bridge.
"Your Highness, we originally agreed that Yue'er would be the Crown Princess. Why have you changed your mind now?"
"Did His Highness change his attitude because our Duke's Mansion was boycotted by the academy?"
Xiao Chengyang sighed sadly and said, "Alas, that's not the case."
"Duke Wen, do you know that the woman next to the Ghost King is not only a young master, but also a mid-level pharmacist?"
"If I have her by my side, I will be able to deal with King Chen and the Ghost King in no time."
"Are you serious?" Duke Wen was somewhat skeptical, but if he agreed to Xiao Chengyang's proposal now, it would not benefit his Duke's Mansion at all.
Xiao Chengyang certainly knew what Duke Wen was thinking. For the sake of his own great cause, he didn't mind drawing cakes for Duke Wen.
"Duke Wen, don't worry. I am just using that woman. When I ascend to that position, the position of empress will definitely be Yue'er. No other woman is as important as Yue'er."
Duke Wen was now determined, "I will follow the arrangements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I will do my best to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Chengyang nodded with satisfaction.
The second competition of the martial arts competition is the alchemy competition. The winner can enter the Alchemist Association. As long as one enters the Alchemist Association, one will have a good status and connections. After all, no one dares to provoke people from the Alchemist Association, and they will have to curry favor with them.
"Auntie, I can join the Alchemist Association."
When Xiao Mohan introduced the rules to Aunt Qiao, he also mentioned the Pharmacists Association.
According to Xiao Mohan, the Alchemist Association currently has less than six alchemists, all of whom are intermediate alchemists. Except for two elders, the remaining four were all recruited through previous martial arts competitions.
The status of the Alchemist Association is prominent. After all, in this era where martial arts are respected, the people who cannot be offended the most are the alchemists.
There were not many people participating in the martial arts competition to become a pharmacist, only five.
Therefore, the martial arts association decided to refine the medicine at the same time to see whose pharmacist is the most capable and whose medicine is of the best quality.
Aunt Qiao was preparing to refine an intermediate-level elixir to make the Xuandan, which was to be used when the Xuanqi was exhausted during a fight.
Xiao Chengyang narrowed his eyes and looked at Jinjin Qiao who was standing on the high platform refining medicine. He was determined to succeed. She was indeed an alchemist. He just didn't know what level of medicine she would refine today would be, and whether it would give him a surprise.
Chang Feng looked at Xiao Chengyang and gritted his teeth. "My Lord, that dog prince is interested in Miss Qiao."
"Miss Qiao liked the prince so much before, will she be deceived by him again?"
Xiao Mohan glanced at Changfeng and said, "She won't. The aunt now is not the same aunt as before."
Changfeng shook his head in confusion, not understanding what the prince meant. Aren't they the same person? How could she not be the same Aunt Qiao as before?
Although Xiao Mohan has great confidence in Qiao Jinjin, he cannot stand what Xiao Chengyang does. He is really overestimating himself by thinking about the woman he likes.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Aunt Qiao was the first to finish refining the medicine.
The elders of the Alchemist Association didn't believe that someone could refine the elixir so quickly. They estimated that even if it was successful, it might only be at the level of a basic elixir.
The great elder glanced into the medicine furnace with a nonchalant attitude, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Intermediate Xuan Pill, it's actually a top-grade intermediate Xuan Pill."
Many people heard the first elder's exclamation. The second elder came over with doubt, and when he saw the medicine furnace, he almost lost his balance.
"Eighteen? I am not seeing things."
The elder looked at Qiao Jinjin excitedly and said, "Miss, I was rude just now. Please don't blame me."
Aunt Qiao bowed and said, "Okay, okay."
The Great Elder did not wait for the results of the other contestants' refining of the medicine, and directly announced loudly, "This competition, Miss Qiao wins."
"Our Alchemist Association will invite Miss Qiao to join and become the senior sister of our Alchemist Association."
Whispers were heard from the audience below the fighting stage, and the major families began to investigate Aunt Qiao's background.
However, they were destined not to get what they wanted. Xiao Mohan had already wiped out all the details about Aunt Qiao. At most, they could only find out that Aunt Qiao was an intermediate pharmacist.
Xiao Chengyang had already stood up because of excitement, looking at Qiao Jinjin with bright eyes. This was the candidate for the Crown Princess in his mind.
Xiao Mohan flew onto the fighting stage, stretched out his arms and held Qiao Jinjin in his arms. This action told everyone that the woman in front of him was his, and no one should overestimate their own abilities and have any evil ideas.
"Auntie stole the show today."
Although Xiao Mohan supported Qiao Jinjin to join the Alchemist Association, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if Qiao Jinjin was too outstanding and too many people coveted her.
