The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 841 - 838 Servant Disciple

Chapter 841: Chapter 838 Servant Disciple

"Could it be that kid?"

At the moment Ye Xuan descended, a flash of astonishment flickered in Qin Yanbing’s eyes.

And behind Qin Yanbing, Qi Jianqing and the others were utterly shocked.

The patriarchs and Supreme Elders on either side of the giant cloud were also looking at each other, perplexed.

Ye Xuan stood in front of the miscellaneous disciple without calling him, instead observing his alchemy technique.

At this, all eyes were focused on the miscellaneous disciple.

They were all puzzled, wasn’t this guy just a miscellaneous disciple? What was so special about him?

They couldn’t tell at all.

Dugu Jing, not far away, saw this scene and couldn’t help but frown slightly, murmuring in his heart, "What on earth is this guy thinking?"

It was baffling.

But those who were also miscellaneous disciples cast envious glances at this disciple, secretly jealous, thinking, "Fang Li has been in the Medicine Pavilion for three years and is still a miscellaneous disciple, his alchemy technique is utterly lousy, why was he chosen?"

"Fang Li seems to have stepped in a huge pile of dog shit, otherwise, where could he get such luck..."

Those who knew were aware that this miscellaneous disciple named Fang Li had been in the Medicine Pavilion for three years, while other miscellaneous disciples who joined at the same time had either left the Medicine Pavilion or entered the Outer Sect, only he was still mingling among the miscellaneous disciples.

Even many later miscellaneous disciples dared to ride over him.

Who would have thought such a guy would get so lucky?

However, at this moment, this miscellaneous disciple named Fang Li seemed unaware, focusing intently on crafting the most common Qi Condensing Pill.

For him, it also seemed extremely difficult.

Just as he was about to succeed, under the stunned gazes of everyone, Fang Li’s furnace exploded!

Nevertheless, with many powerful figures present, the mere explosion of a Qi Condensing Pill furnace, with a wave of a hand, was suppressed.

But Fang Li felt a bit downcast, for he had failed three times.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Li decided to try once more.

However, just as he was about to continue crafting, he suddenly looked up and saw many silhouettes.

Those were all esteemed figures he had only heard about from others.

In fact, the focus of the entire scene was on him.

Fang Li was momentarily bewildered.

In those gazes, there was jealousy, admiration, disdain, and a very familiar mockery.

But also... encouragement!

Fang Li licked his lips, his eyes determined, and quickly said, "Honored elders, I would like to try once more, may I?"

"Try what, don’t you know your own capabilities..."

A low voice of ridicule came from beside him.

Upon hearing this, an elder behind Qi Jianqing immediately extended a hand and pulled that disciple forward, saying coldly, "What did you just say?"

Damn, didn’t you see this person was chosen by Master Ye, how dare you yammer here?

"No, no, I was just joking with Fang Li..."

The disciple was frightened and trembled, speaking with a look of panic.

"Joking?" The elder almost laughed in anger.

Do you not know what kind of situation this is? Joking?

Ye Xuan slightly raised his hand, signaling the elder not to punish that disciple. Ye Xuan looked at Fang Li and said calmly, "This disciple was ridiculing you, how do you think he should be handled?"

The crowd’s gaze naturally fell on Fang Li.

Upon hearing this, Fang Li was at a loss.

But under Ye Xuan’s encouraging gaze, Fang Li hesitated for a moment, then said to that disciple, "Just apologize to me and promise not to say such things again."

"Big brother Li, I’m sorry, I promise I won’t speak recklessly again!"

The disciple, as if granted amnesty, apologized immediately.

"Is that it?" Ye Xuan looked at Fang Li peculiarly.

Fang Li couldn’t help scratching his head, nervously saying, "After all, he’s my fellow disciple, and he just said a couple of unpleasant things, I can’t kill him, right?"

"What if it were those who oppressed you before?" Ye Xuan asked further.

Upon hearing this, Fang Li squinted, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, as if recalling someone. He said in a low voice, "If it were those people, naturally they should be dealt with."

Yet immediately, Fang Li realized his overreaction, shyly smiling, and said, "Why are you asking me this, Master Ye?"

Ye Xuan chuckled lightly, "Would you like a chance?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Li nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Ye Xuan restrained his smile, saying playfully, "Won’t you ask what kind of chance?"

Fang Li earnestly replied, "My father said, opportunities are rare, if encountered, don’t let them pass..."

Ye Xuan smiled again and waved his hand.

Qin Yanbing instantly understood and signaled to Qi Jianqing.

Qi Jianqing announced aloud, "Today’s alchemy competition is hereby concluded. Everyone has worked hard, please return and rest."

"What? It’s over already?!"

This immediately sparked an uproar.

Could it be that the winner is truly that miscellaneous disciple?!

This made many capable alchemists very dissatisfied.

Especially those True Disciples, each and every one of them looked furious.

Damn it, did we just act as a foil all this time?!

Why on earth?

Even the Saint Heir Ji Changtian wasn’t qualified?

Instinctively, they looked at Ji Changtian.

At this moment, Ji Changtian turned and left, evidently trembling with anger.

He, the mighty Saint Heir of the Medicine Pavilion, had also become a foil?

Being a foil was one thing.

But a foil to a miscellaneous disciple?

Today’s alchemy competition, it was nothing short of a colossal joke.

Following Ji Changtian’s angry departure, the crowd also gradually dispersed.

Soon, only Fang Li, a Medicine Pavilion disciple, remained above the giant cloud.

Fang Li knew he had hit a stroke of luck, but he also felt an overwhelming anxiety.

"All of you may leave first, Qin Yanbing, you stay." Ye Xuan said calmly.

Qi Jianqing and the others looked at Qin Yanbing.

Qin Yanbing waved his hand.

The crowd respectfully retreated, including the lurking patriarchs, who also withdrew.

In the blink of an eye, only three people remained.

"Do you know why I chose you?" Ye Xuan looked at Fang Li and asked anew.

Fang Li tentatively replied, "Because I kept trying despite failing?"

Ye Xuan shook his head lightly, "Because you’re a miscellaneous disciple."

Fang Li: "???"

Qin Yanbing, standing nearby, curled his lips slightly and said, "In fact, I was also a miscellaneous disciple back in the day."

Fang Li looked at Qin Yanbing, utterly astonished.

Who would have thought this elder with the highest status and strength in the Medicine Pavilion was formerly a miscellaneous disciple?

"The fundamental reason you need not overthink, you just need to know you are the one chosen by me, Ye Xuan, and that is enough." Ye Xuan spoke at a leisurely pace.

Saying this, Ye Xuan lightly raised his right hand and pointed with his index finger.

Hum————

A mysterious green light surged into Fang Li’s forehead.

Fang Li instantly felt a rush in his head and fainted.

A moment later, Ye Xuan lowered his right hand, turned, and left, leaving a single sentence:

"Whether you become an Emperor depends on how you guide it."

"If there’s a hint of rebellion, spare no mercy..."
