As soon as Fu Ling'er finished speaking, the platform fell silent. Even Xuanyuan Que was stunned when he heard it. He thought Fu Ling'er would stand on Li Siyan's side and choose Yan Feng.

The result... was really unexpected.

However, this made Xuanyuan Que appreciate Ling'er's behavior even more. She was already a high-ranking alchemy god. In the alchemy world at this time, it was not an exaggeration to say that she could cover the sky with one hand. No matter what happened in the alchemy world, as long as she wanted, there was nothing she couldn't do.

And it turns out that she truly has the demeanor of a pill god. Her impartial approach can gain more respect and support from the world.

Sure enough, Li Siyan smiled and immediately stopped his inappropriate behavior. Now, not only was he not angry because Fu Ling'er did not choose Yan Feng, but he was very happy instead.

Fu Ling'er's choice shows that she has her principles. In front of her, one can only speak with strength without any emotion. She has achieved true fairness and impartiality.

It's not that they are unfair and biased towards their own people. It's just that in reality, under equal conditions, they will subconsciously choose their own preferences.

“Okay, okay, since Master Fu voted for Master He Hongming, then the second round has come to a conclusion. Now I declare that He Hongming wins first place and advances to the next round. Yan Feng wins second place and advances to the next round. Zhou Jikang wins third place and advances to the next round…” Li Siyan was happy. He stood up and his voice spread like a loud bell to every corner of the stadium.

The crowd burst into warm applause. This round was so exciting that the referees almost came to blows. They thought the quarrel would end in the end. Or they were fooled by the people who tried to smooth things over. Anyway, now there is a result, everyone is happy.

Huayang walked up to Yan Feng and Zhou Jikang and encouraged them not to be discouraged or distracted by other things, but to prepare well for the next game.

The next game will require them to show their best instincts, and it will also be their time to make a name for themselves.

"Master, He Hongming is very strong. I heard that he is representing the Zhu family to compete. Master, when did the Zhu family have such a powerful alchemist?" Yan Feng asked puzzledly. He remembered that there was someone from the Zhu family participating in the competition, but he had been eliminated.

"Why do you care about other people's business? Okay, go back and rest. The third round of competition will start early tomorrow morning. You have to be careful tonight. Don't leave the room unless necessary." Master Huayang said meaningfully. Tomorrow is the key match. The two of them have been in the spotlight too much today. If someone tries to do something, it will be hard to guard against. It is safer for the two of them to stay in the room.

"Yes, Master, don't worry, we will go back soon. Master, do you want to go back with us?"

"No, I'll be back later. You guys go first."

"Yes, Master." Yan Feng and Zhou Jikang bowed, then walked to the rest area, called Yan Li and Zhou Tingmei, and prepared to return to the guild together.

Zhou Tingmei's eyes unconsciously swept towards Wanqi Yuan who was talking to Fu Ling'er. She was reluctant to leave and wanted to see him more. She wanted to go up and find a chance to talk to him and get to know him several times.

But every time she mustered up the courage, she still couldn't take the first step. In addition, Yan Li would talk about Fu Ling'er from time to time, saying how well they matched each other, which seemed to be a constant reminder for her to wake up and not overestimate her abilities.

But she was unwilling to accept it? She didn't want to like someone blindly. She liked him so much, how could she not let him know?

No, she had to find a chance to get to know him so that he could have an impression of her and know that she liked him.

"Cousin, let's go, don't dawdle. Big brother and cousin are tired, they need to go back and rest."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Zhou Tingmei couldn't find a suitable reason for a moment, so she could only follow reluctantly.

Fu Ling'er declined Li Siyan's invitation to live in the guild, and pulled Wanqiyuan away from the arena. Lingyou and Zhuge Qiao followed closely behind.

Go to the edge of the square and meet up with Xiao Zi, Xuan Chen, Bai Yu and others.

Everyone walked towards the B&B together.

"Xiao Zi, how was your harvest today? How many times did my little money increase?" Zhuge Qiao approached Xiao Zi and asked.

"Sister Qiao, we didn't make much money. The main reason was that we missed He Hongming today. I didn't expect that the person sent by the Guisha Pavilion was so capable. He caused me to lose a game, so I didn't win that much." Xiao Zi's tone was sad and a little bit gritted.

"That's right, who would have known that there really are talented people in the Guisha Pavilion. Sister Ling, do you think if I bet on He Hongming to win tomorrow, can I still make up for the money I lost today?" Xuan Chen looked at Fu Ling'er hopefully.

"What? It's good enough to make some money, how much more do you want? But if you still bet on He Hongming to win tomorrow, I don't think it will be a good idea."

"Hmm? Why does Sister Ling say that? Didn't He Hongming perform very well today? Seeing how calm he is, it is obvious that he is quite confident of winning tomorrow's championship. Could there be a dark horse?" Ling You was present during the entire competition. From his observation, He Hongming and Yan Feng were evenly matched, and it was hard to say who would win in the end.

"You don't understand this. You are an outsider, so it's normal that you don't understand. In addition to being skilled in alchemy, alchemists also need auxiliary factors such as the alchemy fire, the flexibility of controlling the fire, the speed of forming alchemy seals, etc. These conditions are indispensable if you want to become a high-level alchemist."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back. Ling'er is tired today, so let's go back first," Wanqi Yuan said, and everyone stopped asking questions.

That night.

The entire Salt River City was shrouded in darkness, with only a small amount of light coming from a luxurious mansion in the city. The mansion was quiet and peaceful, with moonlight spilling into the courtyard like water.

At this time, Gong Shaoyou and Wu Bufan were sitting opposite each other at the stone table in the yard. On the table were several pots of fine wine and some exquisite side dishes. The two of them drank slowly while talking in low voices.

Wu Bufan suddenly seemed to think of something. He raised his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and with a faint wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, he stared at Gong Shaoyou closely and spoke slowly,

"Brother Shaoyou, today I saw that you seemed to have some complaints about Master Fu? What? Do you have feelings for her?" He naturally knew who Gong Shaoyou was, and now he was teasing him about it.

When Gong Shaoyou heard this, he was stunned at first, then gently put down the wine glass in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dazed look, as if he was recalling something good.

After a while, he said quietly,

"It's a beautiful flower, but it has thorns."

"Brother Shaoyou, are you afraid of thorns? This is not like you. When have you ever thought about these things? If there are thorns, just pull them out. Women, won't you be able to do whatever you want?"
