No matter where she went, Yu Wanqing was like a proud peacock.
Perhaps many people would find it distasteful, especially upon discovering she was a fake socialite.
But, what can they do if they don’t like it? Do they have the ans to outshine her?
Clearly, they don’t, not even with another ten or twenty years of effort.
"Brother Ling Qian, I’m going up, don’t miss ." Xia Yinian stood up with a smile.
Gu Lingqian returned a comforting smile to her.
"Go ahead, think of whenever you have ti."
Xia Yinian stuck out her pink tongue at him, then turned and walked up lightly.
Imdiately after, the participants in the second row also stood up.
After preparing for so long, at this crucial mont, no one had the leisure to look at handso n.
Once Xia Yinian found her Alchemy Room and went inside, Nan Shen passed Gu Lingqian’s laptop to him.
Alchemy requires a process, and people like Gu Lingqian, Gu Beicheng, and Feng Yan generally won’t spend ti on boring waiting.
"Oh my God, I really didn’t expect this year’s Alchemy Competition to invite the Seventh Young Master and Third Young Master Feng. Didn’t they both get invited last year and were unwilling to co?"
A lady standing in the corner of the stage couldn’t help but ask the event manager beside her.
"I also heard they invited the Seventh Young Master before, but just like last year, there was no response from him." The manager replied in a low voice.
"Later, they suddenly said they invited two secret judges. I didn’t think much of it at the ti, but I never expected one of them to be the Seventh Young Master."
"After being rejected, why co now? Is it because of Lady Qing?" The lady’s voice continued.
"Who knows? Lady Qing is participating for the third ti. Despite her great results in the previous two tis, the Seventh Young Master never appeared." The manager replied indifferently.
"And it’s even more peculiar for Third Young Master Feng from Yaoshan to co such a long way just to be a judge."
"However, I heard that the Seventh Young Master began collaborating with Third Young Master Feng to open a costics company in Yaoshan, maybe to recruit talents, who knows?"
"Yes." The lady nodded, "The manager’s words make sense."
About ten minutes later, almost all the competitors were in place when the voice of the emcee sounded again.
"Attention all competitors, every room is equipped with all raw materials for two types of dicine."
"In the interest of fairness, you only need to stamp your right hand’s middle fingerprint on the box containing the finished product, no other markings are needed."
"Finally, place the box on the conveyor belt at the back of the room and you can leave."
"Rest assured, the boxes delivered by the conveyor belt will be shuffled by machines before reaching the judges."
"After the last alchemy session this afternoon, fingerprints will be collected uniformly."
"Everything is for the sake of fairness, so you all can focus on alchemy without unnecessary concerns."
The emcee’s words relieved many people; except for those with ulterior motives, everyone hoped for a fair competition.
Every Alchemy Room was separated, and for secrecy, even the doors were closed, yet all the rooms were open-design.
The assembled materials, standing at roughly 2.5 ters tall, ensured the actions inside couldn’t be seen by those outside or next door.
Everything was different from before, with no prior announcents, and it felt like this year’s competition had improved considerably from every previous year.
