"The Western Song State is just a small country. If one wants to fake an identity, they should create the identity of a prominent family. Why would anyone lower their own status?"
After this discussion, everyone began to believe that Feng Yuqin was truly from a small country.
Their looks at Feng Yuqin changed.
They all knew clearly that someone as good - looking as Feng Yuqin without any background would only end up as someone's plaything.
The person in charge also heard their discussions.
He quite agreed with their viewpoints.
So when he was about to casually assign an assessment for Feng Yuqin, he found that the position she applied for was Honorary Elder.
He thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and took another look.
It still clearly read "Honorary Elder".
"You want to take the assessment for the Honorary Elder position?" the person in charge asked Feng Yuqin in disbelief.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Yes, I'm here to take the assessment for the Honorary Elder."
"What? Did I hear that right?" Everyone around was in an uproar.
"An Honorary Elder has to be able to refine sixth - grade pills. She looks only fifteen or sixteen, right?"
"How could a fifteen - or sixteen - year - old possibly have the strength of a sixth - grade alchemist? Could she be a fool?"
"Pretty but without a background, and a fool to boot. It seems her future days will be very miserable."
"These people have such foul mouths. I'm going to sew them shut," Xiao Ying said indignantly.
Xiaojin also said with the same hatred, "I can't bear it either. I've remembered those who insulted the master. I'll surely teach them a lesson when I get the chance."
"Do you know the requirements for the Honorary Elder position?" the person in charge asked Feng Yuqin as she had really given such an answer.
"Since I've come to sign up, I've surely read the rules. So please arrange the assessment for the Honorary Elder for me," Feng Yuqin replied.
Her first step was to enter the Alchemist Guild with the identity of an Honorary Elder.
Although Mo Xuanye had said that he had an acquaintance in the Alchemist Guild and told her to go directly, she still wanted to see if she could pass the exam on her own.
This seemed more appropriate than relying on an acquaintance.
She preferred to enter the Alchemist Guild by her own strength and then work her way up step by step.
Until she could freely use the medicinal herbs in the Alchemist Guild.
She came precisely because the Alchemist Guild had many medicinal herbs she didn't have.
The Alchemist Guild promoted based on strength, and there were no fixed assessment times.
As long as one's strength was sufficient, they could apply for the assessment.
This was simply the best rule for her.
"Feng Yuqin, since you've understood the rules of our Alchemist Guild, you should know that those who falsely claim their strength during their first assessment will be punished," the person in charge, though shocked, still had a sense of responsibility and reminded Feng Yuqin that if she didn't have the strength, it was better not to take the assessment.
Because Feng Yuqin looked too young to convince others that she had the strength of a sixth - grade alchemist.
"Of course. Since I'm here, it means I have the strength," Feng Yuqin said confidently.
"Don't believe her. She's simply lying," Qi Feihong's voice suddenly rang out.
A mocking arc appeared on Feng Yuqin's lips. "What evidence do you have to prove that I'm lying?"
"How old are you? Have you ever seen such a young sixth - grade alchemist?" Qi Feihong said with disdain. "You don't even think before you speak and dare to come to the Alchemist Guild to blatantly lie."
Feng Yuqin glanced at Qi Feihong. There were twenty or thirty people following him.
Each of them was quite powerful.
No wonder he had the confidence to stand here and question her.
"Master Qi, why are you here?" the person in charge saw Qi Feihong and quickly stood up to greet him.
His attitude was obviously more obsequious.
"Liu Hui, she's a liar. Just drive her away," Qi Feihong pointed at Feng Yuqin and said to Liu Hui.
"This... isn't it a bit inappropriate?" Liu Hui said hesitantly.
"What? You don't even listen to me?" Qi Feihong said. "Do you want me to tell my aunt that you let just anyone in?"
Feng Yuqin narrowed her eyes slightly. She quickly recalled the information about the Qi family in her mind and immediately thought that Qi Feihong's aunt was an elder in the Alchemist Guild.
"Miss Feng, please go back. Come for the assessment when you really reach the sixth - grade level," Liu Hui said to Feng Yuqin with an apologetic look.
Liu Hui didn't want to offend Qi Feihong. Once he disobeyed Qi Feihong, the latter not only beat him up but also his parents.
It didn't matter much to him being beaten, but as a son, he didn't want to implicate his parents.
So he had to ask Feng Yuqin to leave.
Qi Feihong showed a smug smile and provocatively said to Feng Yuqin, "Why don't you get out of here quickly?"
A cold glint flashed in Feng Yuqin's eyes. She looked at Liu Hui and said in a cold voice, "I've said that I'm a sixth - grade alchemist. Are you sure you won't arrange an assessment for me?"
Others thought Feng Yuqin was so unwise.
Offending Qi Feihong and still wanting to enter the Alchemist Guild was simply a pipe dream.
Everyone knew that Qi Ruyi from the Qi family was an elder in the Alchemist Guild.
The Qi family's current development was largely due to Qi Ruyi.
Because Qi Ruyi held a high position in the Alchemist Guild.
Now Feng Yuqin, a girl from a small country, had stupidly offended Qi Feihong. Everyone thought she wouldn't have a good life from now on.
"Miss Feng, you'd better go back," Liu Hui said helplessly.
"So your Alchemist Guild is not fair and just after all," Feng Yuqin said mockingly. "Then why do you even claim to be fair?"
"Presumptuous! How dare you slander our Alchemist Guild at will?" a gloomy middle - aged man's voice sounded.
"Uncle - in - law..." Qi Feihong's eyes lit up when he saw the man.
"Feihong? Why are you here?" Ma Guangyao was about to go out on business. He just happened to pass by and heard Feng Yuqin's words, so he spoke up.
"This woman looks down on our Qi family. She poisoned my bodyguard at the inn yesterday," Qi Feihong pointed at Feng Yuqin and started to distort the facts. "Today I heard that she came to the Alchemist Guild to sign up. I was worried that such a vicious - minded person would harm the people inside if she entered the guild, so I rushed here immediately."
"Was it you who just said our Alchemist Guild is unfair?" Ma Guangyao stared at Feng Yuqin with a cold look.
"Did I say something wrong?" Feng Yuqin said coldly. "The rules clearly state that one can directly sign up for the position they want to be assessed for. Now you can't even do this. As such a large Alchemist Guild, if you can't do it, don't make it public. It's embarrassing."
