"If you can secure the position of honorary elder in the Alchemy Guild on your own strength as a sixth - rank alchemist, I'll cut off my head and let you kick it around," Qi Feihong said boldly.
He dared to say such a thing because he was certain that Feng Yuqin couldn't possibly be a sixth - rank alchemist.
After all, after he returned, he specifically asked Feng Yao and her brother about more details regarding Feng Yuqin.
He heard from Feng Yao that Feng Yuqin was only a fourth - rank alchemist.
It had been such a short time; there was no way she could have jumped two ranks.
No one had expected Qi Feihong to say such a thing. Instantly, they all got excited to watch the show and were eager to see how the president of the Alchemy Guild would react after Qi Feihong's outburst.
"Qi Feihong, what are you doing? The Alchemy Guild is not a place for you to act recklessly," Song Jianming wished he could slap this fool to death.
Feng Yuqin glanced at Song Jianming and then fixed her eyes on Qi Feihong. She said calmly, "Young Master Qi has so much free time, but I'm not that bored to kick someone's head around."
Qi Feihong snorted, "Feng Yuqin, are you scared?"
"I think we can change the bet," a sly look flashed across Feng Yuqin's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoying and Xiaojin instantly perked up.
They knew very well that their master was about to scheme against someone.
"What bet do you want?" Qi Feihong asked impatiently as soon as he heard Feng Yuqin agree.
This time, Feng Yuqin's gaze fell on Ma Guangyao.
The moment Ma Guangyao met Feng Yuqin's eyes, a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
Then, he heard Feng Yuqin say, "If I can secure the position of honorary elder in the Alchemy Guild with my own strength, either your uncle or aunt has to leave the Alchemy Guild and swear never to hold any position in it again."
"Absolutely not..." Ma Guangyao refused instinctively.
He understood that if either he or Qi Ruyi had to leave the Alchemy Guild, it would surely be him.
"Uncle, agree to it," Qi Feihong said. "Anyway, she can't win."
Everyone else thought the same.
Song Jianming, however, looked at Feng Yuqin thoughtfully.
He saw the confidence in her eyes.
Moreover, she was recommended to him by Mo Xuanye.
So he thought that a smart person like Mo Xuanye should have considered all these issues.
After thinking it through, Song Jianming kept silent. He just watched them calmly, deciding to be a bystander for the time being and would step in when Feng Yuqin needed his help.
"What if..." Ma Guangyao said uncertainly.
"Uncle, are you joking?" Qi Feihong pointed at Feng Yuqin and said mockingly, "Look how young she is. Have you ever seen a fifteen - or sixteen - year - old sixth - rank alchemist? Even the geniuses in our Central Region couldn't reach the sixth rank at that age."
"Our master is truly a genius," Xiaoying sighed in the space upon hearing Qi Feihong's words.
"Of course. Our master is more powerful than anyone else," Xiaojin said proudly.
Feng Yuqin twitched the corner of her mouth upon hearing the praise from her two spirit pets in the space.
"Change the bet," Ma Guangyao didn't want to take any risks.
Qi Feihong was dissatisfied with Ma Guangyao's cowardice. No wonder his aunt was more successful in the Alchemy Guild than him.
"Feng Yuqin, change the bet," Qi Feihong said.
"No," Feng Yuqin refused straightforwardly.
"Feng Yuqin..." Ma Guangyao was about to get angry, but when he met Song Jianming's cold glare, he immediately fell silent.
"This is the only condition. If you can't meet it, I'll just enter the Alchemy Guild with the president," Feng Yuqin said arrogantly, looking at Qi Feihong with a hint of provocation in her tone.
Everyone was stunned.
Qi Feihong was furious.
"Fine, I agree," Qi Feihong was provoked and immediately agreed.
"No," Ma Guangyao always had a strong premonition.
When Feng Yuqin proposed this, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Although he also thought it was impossible for Feng Yuqin to refine sixth - rank pills, his premonition told him not to agree.
"Uncle..." Qi Feihong was very dissatisfied. He stared at Ma Guangyao. Seeing his firm refusal, he took a deep breath and said to Feng Yuqin, "He doesn't agree. I'll bet on my aunt."
A bloodthirsty smile curled up on Feng Yuqin's lips. "Okay, but what if your aunt doesn't agree?"
"My aunt won't disagree," Qi Feihong said.
"Anyway, if you lose and your aunt doesn't agree, then your uncle has to leave the Alchemy Guild," Feng Yuqin said calmly. "One of them must go."
"You won't have such a chance," Qi Feihong said disdainfully. "I simply don't believe you can become an honorary elder as a sixth - rank alchemist on your own."
Feng Yuqin didn't mind Qi Feihong's disdain. She said, "In that case, President, could you please arrange the assessment for me?"
"Wait..." Qi Feihong suddenly said.
Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows. "What? Do you want to back out?"
Qi Feihong sneered. "Do you think that's possible? I'm worried you'll back out, so we must sign and leave our spiritual imprints."
Feng Yuqin almost burst out laughing.
She really didn't expect someone to be so stupid.
Originally, she had planned to give the president some face and not sign the agreement.
Now that Qi Feihong had proposed it, it was just what she wanted.
"Master, is Qi Feihong a fool?" Xiaoying was amused by Qi Feihong's actions.
"Going against our master, isn't he a fool?" Xiaojin said seriously.
"Are you sure you want to sign and leave your spiritual imprint?" Feng Yuqin asked calmly.
"What? Are you scared?" Qi Feihong was worried Feng Yuqin would disagree and started to use reverse psychology.
Everyone was looking at Feng Yuqin.
Song Jianming actually hoped that Feng Yuqin wouldn't agree, but things didn't go as he expected.
He only heard Feng Yuqin say, "Then let's sign."
"Feihong..." Ma Guangyao saw Feng Yuqin's calm expression and wanted to stop him.
Although Qi Feihong said that Qi Ruyi would take the responsibility if they lost, he knew Qi Ruyi too well. She was selfish and ruthless and would never take the blame.
Then he would be the unlucky one.
Qi Feihong didn't even look at Ma Guangyao. He directly asked someone to prepare the agreement.
It was a kind of agreement that couldn't be violated, or the violator would suffer a backlash.
Ma Guangyao's face turned pale when he saw Qi Feihong was serious.
It seemed that he had to come up with a plan. If Feng Yuqin lost, it would be fine. But if she luckily won, he had to ensure that he could still stay in the Alchemy Guild safely.
