However, now they had all been caught with evidence. According to Song Jianming, there was proof for this matter. So, he could remove them from their positions as elders and expel them from the Alchemist Guild.
After all, if this matter couldn't be investigated, he would be fine. But as the president of the Alchemist Guild, if Song Jianming wanted to pursue it, he would do so according to the rules of the Law Enforcement Hall without any favoritism.
Elder Lin was very angry, but he had no choice but to take out two more storage bags. This time, Shen Wenkai didn't even reach out to take them. Instead, with a thought from Song Jianming, the two rings in Elder Lin's hand flew into his own. After checking them, he finally handed the four storage bags to Feng Yuqin with satisfaction and said, "This is Elder Lin's compensation. I won't pursue his attempt to assassinate you anymore."
Hearing this, Elder Lin heaved a sigh of relief. Qi Ruyi and the other two also let out a sigh of relief at the same time. However, they never expected that they had relaxed too soon.
Because they immediately heard Feng Yuqin say, "Elder Lin has paid his compensation. Now, isn't it your turn?"
"What?" Qi Ruyi and the other two were dumbfounded. What did she mean by "it's your turn"? Hadn't Elder Lin already paid the compensation?
Song Jianming, Shen Wenkai and the others twitched their mouths violently when they heard Feng Yuqin's words. They had all thought that Feng Yuqin would only ask for that compensation, which was why Song Jianming said it wasn't enough after checking. They never expected that this girl was even greedier than him.
"Elder Feng means that she won't pursue Elder Lin's matter anymore. But the compensation Elder Lin paid is only for himself and has nothing to do with you three," Xia Hao, standing beside them, explained dutifully to Qi Ruyi and the other two. "So, if you want Elder Feng to forgive you for trying to assassinate her, you have to pay compensation. Otherwise, she will pursue this matter to the end. After all, Elder Feng is the victim now."
Feng Yuqin didn't expect Xia Hao to understand her meaning so accurately. A faint smile curved her lips as she looked indifferently at Qi Ruyi and the other two.
After reacting, Qi Ruyi directly cursed at Feng Yuqin, "Feng Yuqin, you're so shameless! Have you never seen medicinal herbs before? How dare you ask the three of us to pay such a large amount of compensation?"
"You don't have to pay if you don't want to," Xia Hao said again. "As long as you can bear the consequences."
Xia Hao wasn't sure about other times, but after seeing Elder Lin really take out several storage bags just now, he understood that these people were afraid of the punishment the president had mentioned.
"Shut up! Do you have the right to speak here?" Elder Chen scolded.
Xia Hao shrugged. "I'm just telling the truth. Are we not allowed to tell the truth but only lies in a place like the Law Enforcement Hall?"
Shen Wenkai: "..." What was wrong with his Law Enforcement Hall? Even a small alchemist dared to talk like this? But seeing that Xia Hao came with Feng Yuqin and Feng Yuqin was protected by the president, Shen Wenkai wisely kept his mouth shut. After all, the matter of these elders hadn't been resolved yet. If the president got angry with him, it would be a great loss.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to participate in the competition, pay the compensation. If not, get out of the Alchemist Guild immediately," Song Jianming always stood on Feng Yuqin's side. Although he thought this girl was a bit greedy, when he thought that Mo Xuanye had the same kind of personality, he wasn't surprised anymore.
"President, are you really going to let her act so recklessly?" Qi Ruyi said unwillingly.
Song Jianming snorted. "If I really let her act recklessly, you would all be dead by now."
"President, aren't you overestimating Feng Yuqin?" Elder Chen said unconvinced.
Song Jianming gave Elder Chen a cold look and asked, "Didn't you watch from the dark last night how she dealt with those who tried to assassinate her? I thought you would have a deep understanding of her."
"That was done by her spiritual pet. Otherwise, could she still be standing here unharmed?" Elder Chen blurted out without thinking, once again admitting without being asked that they were the ones who did it last night and they had watched from the dark.
Shen Wenkai couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You said it was her spiritual pet. Isn't her spiritual pet a representation of her own strength?"
Elder Chen: "..."
"I don't have that much time to waste with you here," Feng Yuqin said indifferently.
"I don't have time to waste with you either. I'll give you half a quarter of an hour. If you can't pay the compensation to her satisfaction, you can go wherever you want, but just don't stay in the guild," Song Jianming said angrily.
"President, are you really not going to interfere with our trip to the main guild?" Elder Zhao, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.
"If I didn't interfere, do you think you would still be standing here?" Song Jianming said coldly. "The countdown starts now. You'd better think about what kind of compensation you should offer to satisfy A Qin."
Elder Zhao and the other two: "..."
However, they had no choice. Being an elder in the Alchemist Guild could bring them a lot of benefits, and they didn't want to give up such a good opportunity. So, although they were very reluctant, they had to take out the compensation.
After seeing what happened to Elder Lin, Elder Zhao was quite straightforward and took out several storage bags. Song Jianming took them, checked them, and was quite satisfied before handing them to Feng Yuqin. Then it was Elder Chen's turn...
Qi Ruyi stared at Feng Yuqin with a pair of resentful eyes. Even though she hated Feng Yuqin to death, she still had to obediently take out the storage bags.
After Qi Ruyi, the last one, handed over several storage bags, Feng Yuqin directly threw the storage bags to Xiaojin.
Xiaojin was a money - grubber. Holding so many storage bags and seeing the things inside, he was still happy. Although the treasures inside were nothing compared to what he had collected before, as Elder Lin had said, they were alchemists, so there were mostly medicinal herbs among the treasures. Coincidentally, there were quite a few medicinal herbs that were not in the spatial medicine field, which made Xiaojin very satisfied.
"President, Hall Master Shen, we've already paid the compensation to Elder Feng. Can we leave now?" Elder Lin couldn't wait to get out of here for a single moment. Since he entered the Alchemist Guild, he had never suffered such humiliation before, not even when he wasn't an elder yet. He remembered Feng Yuqin, Song Jianming, and Shen Wenkai. As long as he got the chance, he would spare no effort to deal with them.
Feng Yuqin glanced at Song Jianming and gave him a look. Song Jianming immediately understood. He looked at Elder Lin and said, "A Qin's compensation has indeed been paid, and the matter that she promised not to pursue you and allow you to continue participating in the competition is also valid. But there's still one thing I need to take care of."
"What thing?" Elder Lin looked at Song Jianming and Feng Yuqin and suddenly had a bad feeling.
