The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Ashamed Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Ashamed “What’s going on?”

At that moment, Alchemist Jiao Ming walked in from outside.

The hall was in chaos, and his expression was rather unsightly.

Due to Mr.

Jing Yan needing to pass the Alchemist examination to join the Alchemist Association, Vice President Liu Wen, Vice President Xu Dong, and some managers from the Alchemist Association were all going to be present.

Yet now, the hall was like a marketplace.

“Alchemist Jiao Ming, you’ve come just at the right time!” Hearing the voice of Jiao Ming, Lv Yun quickly turned his attention to Jiao Ming, speaking with anger, “Was it you who brought this man?

What exactly does he intend to do?

He secretly learned my medicine preparation and even refused to admit it, going as far as to insult me.

I don’t care what your relationship with this man is, Alchemist Jiao Ming, but I hope you won’t be biased towards him!”

Lv Yun was indeed somewhat wary of the relationship between Jing Yan and Jiao Ming.

Otherwise, he might have already had Jing Yan arrested.

“What?” Jiao Ming was taken aback.

He clearly understood Lv Yun’s words but just couldn’t accept them right away.

Jing Yan secretly learned your medicine preparation?

What a joke!

“Alchemist Jiao Ming, what do you mean?

Are you really going to favor this person?” Seeing Jiao Ming’s bewildered expression, Lv Yun subconsciously thought that Jiao Ming wanted to protect Jing Yan.

“Alchemist Lv Yun, don’t misunderstand, I have only met Mr.

Jing Yan once.

However, if you say he secretly learned your medicine preparation, then there might be some misunderstanding.” Jiao Ming glanced at Jing Yan, his pupils shrinking slightly.

“A misunderstanding?

How could it be a misunderstanding?”

“So many pharmacists saw it; they can all testify!” Lv Yun’s eyes bulged.

“Alchemist Lv Yun, the Vice President will be arriving soon, and you and these pharmacists had better leave quickly.

Besides, it is indeed not possible for Mr.

Jing Yan to have secretly learned your medicine preparation—he is here to pass the Alchemist examination.

Mr.

Jing Yan is not just a pharmacist but also an alchemist, and a Second-level Alchemist at that!” Jiao Ming emphasized the words “Second-level Alchemist” heavily.

Lv Yun’s face turned deathly pale.

What, what?

What in the world is this situation?

A Second-level Alchemist?

Lv Yun looked at Jing Yan, unable to believe and finding it hard to accept that Jing Yan could be a Second-level Alchemist—it was too young, wasn’t it?

He, Lv Yun, was only a First-level Alchemist!

Since when had becoming a Second-level Alchemist become so simple?

Sweat began to bead on Lv Yun’s forehead.

Although he was reluctant to believe it, his reason told him that Alchemist Jiao Ming would not lie to him.

Moreover, what Jiao Ming mentioned was the Alchemist examination that Jing Yan intended to join, not a pharmacist examination.

That meant he, a First-level Alchemist, had just doubted a Second-level Alchemist for stealing his medicine preparation!

The surrounding pharmacists all held their breath and fell silent.

If Jing Yan indeed was a Second-level Alchemist and he joined the Alchemist Association after passing the examination, then these pharmacists…

Thinking about their attitude toward Jing Yan just now, a chill couldn’t help but run down their spines.
“You all should quickly leave now.

The Vice President and others are about to arrive,” Jiao Ming urged.

Lv Yun was unable to utter another word; his face was bloodless, feeling like needles were pricking at his back.

He didn’t even know how he managed to leave the hall.

How embarrassing!

It was so embarrassing.

He wasn’t very worried about any adverse effects on him after Jing Yan joined the Alchemist Association, but doubting a Second-level Alchemist for stealing his medicine preparation was simply too disgraceful.

He had no doubt that today’s events would spread through the entire Alchemist Association within two hours.

Twenty or so pharmacists had witnessed the whole process, and he couldn’t possibly silence everyone.

Once the news got out, Lv Yun would become a laughingstock—he wouldn’t be able to show his face again!

“Mr.

Jing Yan, I’m truly sorry.

Alchemist Lv Yun didn’t know your status,” Jiao Ming said while glancing at Jing Yan.

In front of Jing Yan, he felt somewhat nervous.

“It doesn’t matter!” Jing Yan waved his hand.

A moment later, Vice President Liu Wen walked in from outside.

“Jing Yan!”

“Alchemist Liu Wen!” The two greeted each other with smiles.

Truth be told, knowing that Jing Yan was participating in the Alchemist examination indeed made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he rather trusted Jing Yan’s character, he was also afraid of unexpected issues.

If by any chance Jing Yan didn’t come for the examination, Xu Dong would definitely seize the opportunity to attack him.

This would be a severe blow to his prestige in the Alchemist Association.

Now that Jing Yan had arrived, he was relieved.

Since Jing Yan was willing to come, that meant he must definitely be a real alchemist and was confident about passing the Alchemist examination.

Then, Vice President Xu Dong also entered the hall.

Xu Dong’s face looked extremely grim.

He truly didn’t hope for Jing Yan to participate in the examination at the Alchemist Association, but he couldn’t stop Jing Yan from taking part either.

A month ago, if Jing Yan had wanted to participate in the Alchemist Association’s examination, he was skeptical.

He didn’t believe that Jing Yan, who was under twenty, could be an alchemist.

Although Jing Yan had produced several First-level and Second-level Elixirs on the spot, that alone couldn’t prove he was an alchemist.

However, a few days ago, he heard something.

A martial artist named Jing Yan who participated in the examinations of the Three Major Academies had overcome the Heaven Array and obtained the Golden Order, causing him to start changing his mind.

A martial artist who could obtain the Golden Order, what else would be impossible for him?

This Jing Yan, with his Martial Arts Talent that disparaged the martial artists of Lanqu County, it seemed very probable that he might be an alchemist.

If Jing Yan was an alchemist and joined the Alchemist Association after passing the examination, there wouldn’t be much loss for him in the short term.

However, due to the conflict a month ago, his prestige within the Alchemist Association had already been damaged.

And with someone like Jing Yan joining the Alchemist Association, that was originally beneficial to the association.

However, the issue was that Jing Yan was siding with Liu Wen, and he was very unwilling to see Liu Wen’s influence grow stronger.

Moreover, Jing Yan, despite his young age, couldn’t be underestimated as a winner of the Golden Order!

After Xu Dong and Liu Wen entered one after another, several other alchemists also walked into the hall.

These alchemists were clearly divided into two factions, obviously aligned with either Liu Wen or Xu Dong.

Outside the hall, Lv Yun was pacing restlessly.

He had seen both Vice Presidents enter the hall, confirming that what Jiao Ming said was absolutely true.

Yet, he still couldn’t accept it.

“Alchemist Lv Yun!” A middle-aged man stepped out from the hall at that moment.

“Inside…” Lv Yun looked at the man.

“This Jing Yan has quite the background.

Just a few days ago, at the examination of the Three Major Academies, a martial artist who won the Golden Order was this very Jing Yan!” The middle-aged man whispered.

“What?” Lv Yun’s mouth fell open, his eyeballs nearly popping out.
