Capítulo 1707: Chapter 1698: Resolute Decision
Ao Cangsheng nodded, maintaining a calm expression, “I had the sa thought!”
After speaking, Ao Cangsheng was about to walk towards the judging platform when Ye Xiu suddenly waved his hand, saying, “Brother Yi, please wait, I have so business to take care of and will return shortly!”
After that, he bowed from a distance towards the judging platform and then walked towards the opposite high stage.
Seeing Ye Xiu’s actions, Baili Longyuan couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
He wondered why Ye Xiu was looking for him at this ti and what the matter could be.
“Could it be that Ye Xiu is afraid of losing the competition and wants to withdraw at the last minute?”
Baili Longyuan thought this, and suddenly felt a pang of nervousness.
After a mont, Ye Xiu arrived in front of Baili Longyuan.
“Master Ye, you’re coming to now, is there sothing urgent you need to discuss?”
Baili Longyuan feigned calmness, staring at Ye Xiu and smiling.
Ye Xiu’s face was grim, seeming quite angry. After a slight pause, he said harshly, “Your Highness, before the competition, I want to make one request.”
“What request?”
Seeing that Ye Xiu wasn’t seeking to back out, Baili Longyuan’s mood improved by several degrees.
Ye Xiu said, “I want to have a fair battle with Yi. Please grant my request!”
Saying this, Ye Xiu raised his hand, bowed deeply to Baili Chuanqiong, and seed to have made up his mind!
“Why do you have such an idea? Weren’t you always aiming to win the title of Artifact Refining Holy Scripture’s champion?”
“Since there’s a chance, why should we care about fairness or unfairness?”
Baili Longyuan said curiously, feeling like Ye Xiu’s mind was sohow muddled at this mont.
Many people, using all their effort and ans, might not be able to secure a place in the Alchemy Code.
But this elder Ye is a good person. He doesn’t want to take any advantage. What did he say to Yi?
If he’s not in poor ntal condition, what could it be?
Baili Longyuan mocked Ye Xiu’s thoughts.
Ye Xiu pondered a bit, then said, “The elder indeed wishes to win the championship of the Alchemy Scripture, but he doesn’t want to be a false champion.”
“That person with the surna Yi is too arrogant, barely regards this old man!”
“In that case, the elder will harshly extinguish his spirit, letting him know that in the circle of this refinery, there is another world beyond Heaven and Earth!”
Ye Xiu’s words incited anger, hoping everyone could hear his fury.
Knowing various reasons, Baili Longyuan felt he couldn’t smile or cry.
“Just because you’re angry, you want to have a proper fight with Yi? Have you considered the consequences? What if you lose?”
“His Majesty initially said that if any of the three princes could win the title of Alchemist’s canon, he might be crowned as the prince!”
“To support , the Holy Father and the Emperor especially invited you down from the mountain to attend the Alchemy Scripture as my guest. Do you not understand my intentions?”
Baili Longyuan looked at Ye Xiu with a gloomy expression.
“Perhaps you don’t realize that my father wants to use this opportunity to make a prince. And this so-called Alchemy Password is precisely the origin of my book.”
All three princes know about this award. If you lose to Yi Jianlian, don’t you want to make your father eat his words?”
Baili Longyuan knows that Ye Xiu is stubborn, and once he makes a decision, it’s hard to change.
Hence, he would do his utmost to persuade Ye Xiu, hoping he could see the bigger picture.
Don’t let the Emperor and the great prince feel ashad due to their selfishness!
Ye Xiu’s face darkened further at Baili Longyuan’s words.
Of course, he understood the importance, but he just couldn’t bear seeing such arrogance.
After a long hesitation, Ye Xiu finally said, “According to the rules, even if the elder loses the competition, the elder is still eligible to challenge.”
“If at that ti he proceeds according to plan, Your Highness will not be affected!”
Baili Longyuan, not knowing how to repair this issue with Ye Xiu, felt a bit annoyed. Glaring cruelly, he said coldly, “Master Ye, what exactly do you want to do?”
“Your Highness, please forgive my error. If you cannot fulfill the old man’s wish, the old man would rather withdraw from this Alchemist’s scripture!”
Ye Xiu lowered his head and brows, resembling a statue. He stubbornly stood before Baili Longyuan, silently answering.
With this statent, Baili Longyuan nearly spat blood.
At this mont, Ye Xiu, this aged man, began threatening himself, leaving him with no choice, how could Baili Longyuan not be furious?
But right now, the elder in front of is the key to this plan.
If Ye Xiu gives up the confrontation, His Majesty the Emperor and all his plans would vanish instantly.
Thinking this, Baili Longyuan could only suppress his anger slowly, with an expression of helplessness, “Master Ye, I understand your feelings, and I want to fulfill your wish too.”
“However, you know, as the Emperor, how can I alter the decision of the judging body? Aren’t you putting in a tough spot?”
Ye Xiu shook his head stubbornly, “I think, Your Highness, there must be a way to fulfill this old wish?”
Pushed to this point by Ye Xiu, Baili Longyuan also t him for the first ti.
Seeing many eyes gathered around him, Baili Longyuan no longer wanted to argue with Ye Xiu.
After repeated hesitation, he finally said through gritted teeth, “Alright! I fear you. I guarantee I can’t do what you wish.”
“The competition is about to start. You’d better return to the field first. To ensure fair competition, I’ll handle it now!”
Afterwards, Baili Longyuan waved behind him to an elderly man, then whispered a few words in his ear.
The elderly man remained silent, and after hearing Baili’s command, he quietly retreated, with an uncertain mission.
“Well, Master you all! I’ve inford the necessary details. Now you can safely join the confrontation!”
After the elder left, Baili Longyuan impatiently told Ye Xiu.
After so ti, Ye Xiu and Ao Cangsheng appeared before the judging panel simultaneously.
For so reason, at this mont, Master Lu glanced at Ao Cangsheng, clearly adding a laugh.
“Look, Young Master Ye has forged four tis already!”
“What about Yi? Didn’t you see it’s true Yi forged four tis too?”
“But Master Ye’s speed is clearly faster than Master Yi’s!”
“Hmm, what do you know? You Hai’s speed was fast just now, but in the end, he still lost the match!”
…
In the fierce confrontation, supporters of Ao Cangsheng and Ye Xiu also clashed intensely.
So despised Ao Cangsheng’s alchemy, while others ridiculed Ye Xiu’s alchemy.
Argunts erupted among both sides, quickly drawing more participants into the dispute.
“Five tis!”
“Six tis!”
“Seven tis!”
As Ao Cangsheng and Ye Xiu’s forging count gradually increased, many hearts quietly beca familiar with the tension.
“Heavens, it just takes half a stick of incense to burn, yet they forged seven tis; are they still human?”
“Hmph, you think people like you might only manage three for a whole stick of incense!”
“This is the first ti I’ve seen such excellent refiners in my long ti in the refining industry! It’s terrifying!”
“Hmm, if I achieved even half of their refinery success, I’d be renowned now!”
…
After a long ti, the standoff ended, barely under a quarter-hour, Ye Xiu finally stopped striking!
By this ti, he had forged fourteen steel ingots! This was his limit.
If he continued to forge the ingots, they would begin splitting from within, unable to withstand external force.
Thus, even if he ultimately refined weapons, there would be a portion of defects.
At this ti, the steel ingot above the furnace had transford into a reddish angle bow.
