If this is a business, then Qin Tianshu is clearly losing money to the point of losing his pants.
Originally, his only hope was that Chu Qing could live up to his expectations, become famous in one battle, and become an unparalleled master alchemist in the world.
At that time, no matter whether it is wealth, connections, or power, everyone will get what they want.
As the first person to support Chu Qing, Qin Tianshu’s status will also rise, and he will gain both fame and fortune.
But now, with the failure of this competition, Qin Tianshu found out in despair that he really made the wrong bet this time. All his efforts are doomed to bring nothing in return.
Feeling everyone’s contemptuous gazes, Chu Qing was so depressed that he almost exploded. He looked at Qin Tianshu, wanting to ask Qin Tianshu for help, but found that Qin Tianshu’s face was full of disappointment. Not only that, but he also read some resentment together with Qin Tianshu’s disappointment.
Lu Jing, the city lord of Qingyan City, watched this scene, and after thinking about it, he decided to go on stage to smooth things over.
Regardless of whether Chu Qing has the qualifications to become a master alchemist or not, as the city lord, he has to make this competition go smoothly, so that he can connect or at least leave an impression on so many master alchemists or even the hall master of the Xiaoyao Hall.
But as soon as he stood up, a guard ran over in a hurry. He came to Lu Jing and whispered something to Lu Jing in a low voice. After Lu Jing finished listening, he opened his eyes wide and asked, “Really?”The guard nodded solemnly.
Lu Jing looked at the isolated and helpless Chu Qing in the arena, hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind, and said loudly, “Dear guests, I’m sorry but this competition has to be temporarily suspended.”
Everyone looked at Lu Jing one after another, eyes revealing puzzled expressions.
Lu Jing said to Chu Qing calmly, “Fellow Chu Qing, just now, a distinguished guest came to the mansion suddenly and said that he wanted to see you urgently. I wonder if you…”
Before Lu Jing finished speaking, Chu Qing quickly nodded and said, “Someone wants to see me? Quick! Take me to meet that person!”
Now, Chu Qing felt that everyone around him was against him. He felt so angry that he wished he could draw his sword and kill them. Fortunately, he has not completely lost his mind and he didn’t make any impulsive actions.
So what he wants to do most now is to quickly find a reason to leave the ring and get away from this suffocating gaze.
Lu Jing’s words undoubtedly provided him with this reason.
At this moment, he even felt that Heavenly Dao really cared for him.
After that, everyone saw Chu Qing jumping off the ring in a hurry, and he followed the guards of the city lord towards the City Lord Mansion. And everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, finding it inexplicable.
After Chu Qing left, the arena fell into silence for a while. After a long time, Xiao Ruoyao said, “Everyone, it seems that this competition cannot go on!”
Qin Tianshu smiled wryly, and said, “It looks like it really can’t go on.”
Xiao Ruoyao spread her hands and asked, “Then what should we do next? Go back to each house and find each one’s mother?”
“This…” Qin Tianshu hesitated.
Kong Jue smiled, and said, “This competition has actually come to an end, hasn’t it? Jia Chan, the hall master of the Qingxing Hall, is the winner of the competition. Do any of you have any objections?” Ṙ₳𐌽ȮꞖĘŜ
The rest of the master alchemists looked at each other, and finally shook their heads together.
“In that case, this old man will announce that Jia Chan won this competition!”
After Kong Jue announced the result, everyone applauded.
Xiao Ruoyao yawned in boredom, and said, “After waiting for three days, this is the competition you asked our hall master Jia to participate in? What a waste of time!”
Without waiting for others to reply, Xiao Ruoyao waved her hands impatiently, and said, “Let’s go, go back to and either cultivate or practice the sword. What a waste of time these few days were!”
While talking, Xiao Ruoyao left on her own, without any intention of giving anyone face.
But when everyone looked at Xiao Ruoyao’s back, they could only smile wryly, and they dared not say a word of complaint.
—————————
On the other side, shortly after leaving the arena, Chu Qing arrived at the City Lord Mansion. Under the guidance of the guards, Chu Qing came to a room and sat down. After he sat down, the guard excused himself and left.
Chu Qing was sitting on a chair, and the scenes of today’s competition involuntarily kept appearing in his mind.
This was supposed to be an opportunity for him to become famous again, but it unexpectedly turned him into a complete joke.
And the one who caused all this was none other than Jia Chan, the hall master of Qingxing Hall!
Hateful! Seeing that Jia Chan was beautiful, he wanted to find an opportunity to include her in the harem in the future. But since she went against him like this, don’t blame him for being rude to her in the future!
Chu Qing was immersed in his resentment towards Jia Chan and couldn’t help but curse in his heart, not knowing the passage of time. Suddenly, he came to his senses and realized that he had been sitting in the room for a long time.
Strange, didn’t they say that someone wanted to see him? How come no one has arrived to see him yet?
Chu Qing was puzzled, and was just about to go out, when he saw two cultivators guarding the door, one on the left and the other on the right.
Seeing that Chu Qing was about to go out, the two immediately reached out their hands to stop Chu Qing, and said, “Please wait a moment, distinguished guest, it will be there soon!”
Chu Qing nodded, and sat back in silence. The moment he sat down on the chair, his face became extremely gloomy.
Damn, what’s going on here?
