PFC Chapter 381 A mistake
Chapter 381 A mistake
The hostility in Cui Yin's eyes was about to turn into substance and overflow. She stared at Ruan Xihe motionlessly and said to the man beside her: "Senior Brother Yueming, she is Ruan Xihe."
Chang Yueming frowned.
All year round he was either out for training or in seclusion for cultivation. Today he had no choice but to come out a quarter of an hour before the branch event began.
But he had not been walking on the road for long, and had not even entered the square, when he heard from Cui Yin that he had dropped to second place on the Wushuang ranking list.
"She was the one who snatched my first place on the Wushuang List?" Chang Yueming was a little reluctant to believe it.
Because Ruan Xihe was wearing all white today, with no makeup on her face, she looked like a fairy in a painting, cold and clean, and she really didn't look like someone who would fight.
Cui Yin's back teeth were almost broken, "Yes, that's right, Senior Brother Yue Ming, she was the one who stole your first place!"
What Cui Yin didn't tell him was that Ruan Xihe was not only first in the Wushuang Trial Tower, but also first in the other four Trial Towers.
As for why he didn't tell her, it was naturally because he wanted to instigate Chang Yueming to deal with Ruan Xihe.
What if Chang Yueming knew that Ruan Xihe won the first place in the top five rankings, and became scared and terrified, resulting in him retreating?
Chang Yueming said whatever came to his mind, "She doesn't look very powerful, and doesn't look like someone who can fight."
"I thought so too, Senior Brother Yueming. How could a freshman like her possibly beat you? I think there must be something fishy going on here."
"But others don't think so. They all say..." Cui Yin paused and looked at Chang Yueming with a slightly hesitant look. She seemed to have made up her mind before finally speaking, "They all say that Ruan Xihe, a first-level freshman, can actually surpass you, and that you, Senior Brother Yueming, are not as good as her."
"Ridiculous!" Chang Yueming looked a little unhappy.
It’s not that he can’t accept them praising the freshmen, but why do they have to step on him to praise the freshmen?
Just because he was squeezed out of first place by the freshmen and became second place?
Seeing that he was angry, Cui Yin thought that there was hope if she goaded him into doing something, so she continued, "Brother Yue Ming, you may not know that she won first place in both the freshman competition and the admissions assessment, so it's natural that she's a little arrogant in the academy."
"Should?" Chang Yueming said with a sullen face, "For me, Chang Yueming, there is no such thing as should or shouldn't!"
"Being too arrogant will only make enemies once you leave the academy. As her senior, I must teach her this lesson so that she won't be so arrogant!"
Cui Yin's breath was held, and he concentrated, "Senior Brother Yueming, what do you mean..."
"I will go meet this junior sister after the branch is over." Chang Yueming explained. He paused and suddenly thought of something. "By the way, have you finished refining the Qingxin Pill that I asked you to refine before I went into seclusion last time? I am about to be promoted and I need the Qingxin Pill urgently."
"It's done." Cui Yin nodded hurriedly, and with a flip of his hand, a small bottle appeared in his hand.
Chang Yueming took it and smelled it.
It is a good fourth-grade Qingxin Pill, and its grade is even close to the upper grade!
However, seeing Cui Yin seemed to be hesitant to speak, Chang Yueming couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"
“Senior Brother Yueming, actually, before you came out of retreat, I had a chance to break through to become a fifth-grade alchemist. Then I could refine a fifth-grade Qingxin Pill for you. However, I didn’t expect…” Cui Yin couldn’t hide her dejected look.
"What didn't you expect?" Chang Yueming asked.
"It's okay." Cui Yin sighed, raised her eyes, and forced a smile, "Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Brother, next time you come out of retreat, I will definitely be able to refine a fifth-grade Qingxin Pill for you."
"Speak!" In Nanzhan College, few people dared to move those under Chang Yueming's protection.
Cui Yin seemed to be struggling for a long time before he said, "I was only one opportunity away from a breakthrough, but when I went to the library to buy the fifth-grade pill recipe that day, I met Junior Sister Xihe again..."
"Perhaps Junior Sister Xihe has some misunderstandings about me. She bought all the fifth-grade pill recipes that day, so I was unable to buy any."
This is indeed true.
But there was half of the truth that she didn't tell Chang Yueming, which was that she was banned from entering the library for three months.
After saying that, Cui Yin added, "But Senior Brother Yueming, don't think too much about it. Junior Sister Xihe and I have never met before. There is no reason for her to target me, so I think she did it unintentionally that day."
Cui Yin's tone clearly sounded aggrieved.
But what she said seemed to be trying to calm things down, to excuse others and to give them consideration.
Cui Yin thought to himself, now that the Qingxin Pill that he needs is involved, Chang Yueming should be even angrier, right?
It's good to be angry. When you are angry, you can deal with Ruan Xihe at all costs, hahahaha...
Thinking of this, Cui Yin couldn't suppress the uncontrollable curve of the corners of his mouth.
But who would have thought that Chang Yueming was like a blockhead. He didn't hear her aggrieved tone at all and just thought that what she said was from the bottom of her heart.
He thought for a moment and said, "You're right. You two don't know each other. There's really no need for her to target you."
Cui Yin: “…” Miscalculated.
"But since she took all the recipes, it is enough to show that she is narrow-minded and only cares about herself. She doesn't know how to leave some for other disciples in the academy."
"Don't worry, I will go find her when the branch is over, and I will help you get back a few of those pill recipes!"
Cui Yin: “…” Is this considered a blessing in disguise?
But after all, the result was good. Cui Yin smiled and thanked him sweetly.
...
The first ten people in the team.
There are nine people from the Lingyun team, plus Dai Yan.
Dai Yan chose the Alchemy Branch without a doubt, Jimo Qianyi also chose the Alchemy Branch, and Chu Chao's face was broken with smiles.
Xiao Yin chose the weapon refining branch, Jing Lian chose the talisman branch, and Hua Yu chose the beast taming branch.
The remaining four entered the martial arts branch.
After all the selections, Ruan Xihe, the first place winner, was the only one who had not chosen a branch.
When it was Ruan Xihe's turn, even Hu Lai, who was always daydreaming, suddenly stopped thinking and became curious about which two branches she would choose.
Without waiting for Ruan Xihe to speak, Chu Chao first smiled and touched his two braided beard, then stood up from his seat.
He had a smile on his face, a flattering one, "Xiao Ruan, how are you? Do you remember what I, Old Man Chu, said to you after I left Fengyi Valley?"
"If you come to the Alchemy Branch, you will be my personal disciple. I will teach you how to make pills. How about that?"
Jimo Qianyi and Dai Yan: “…” When I first recruited them, I didn’t say that I would teach them how to make pills.
Several other branch deans: “…” They were careless and let him take action prematurely.
They took every possible precaution, but still couldn't defend against that lousy old man Chu Chao!
