Chapter 200: Chapter 199: Undermining the Foundation

The head of the Mi Family personally brought the 2,000 Moonlight Grass he had treasured over the years to visit Lan Jianghong, to solve the urgent need.

Lan Jianghong bought all of them with a beaming smile and gratefully escorted the head of the Mi Family to the gate, probably gritting his teeth once he turned away.

This incident even made the news, with quite a few people showing concern for Miss Ali in her store online.

In fact, there were also quite a few netizens supporting Qu Tong, and the link to purchase Moonlight Grass in her store received about a dozen pieces of Purified Moonlight Grass.

Of course, there were also many supporters of the Alchemist Association.

The closer it got to the end of the month, the more intense the discussions about the two major potion merchants became.

[Imperial Potions are already scarce, can’t they just get along peacefully?]

[There is only so much raw material, and with the Alchemist Association needing a large amount of Moonlight Grass for new potion research, competition is normal.]

[Both sides have Potion Grandmasters in place, it’s really hard to decide who to support.]

[Anyway, I support Miss Ali, I gave her the only Purified Moonlight Grass I had at home.]

[I support Miss Ali too, just because her store sells the Advanced Spirit Power Potion for 300,000 each.]

[Can you even grab one for 300,000? Who hasn’t used the Alchemist Association’s low to mid-grade Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions?]

[Exactly, the Alchemist Association doesn’t need your support, let’s see if she can offer 50 potions next month for you to scramble over.]

[When is the Alchemist Association releasing a new potion?]

Qu Tong received 16 million Star Coins transferred from the Mi Family and, in good spirits, she replied to her concerned followers below her store.

[Thank you all for your support and concern. The supply of Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion next month will not only not decrease, but there will be an increase, so look forward to it.]

For the first time, Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple directly responded to an online topic. As soon as the topic was posted, it sparked lively discussions among netizens, and of course, attracted quite a few trolls as well.

Qu Tong handed over her store to Old Yuan for management.

When she returned to her dormitory after class, she was dumbfounded.

Old Yuan’s fighting power was not any less than hers; not only did he scold everyone in the floor below, but he also went to the Alchemist Association’s official website and her store to create havoc.

The Optical Brain Bracelet chimed—it was a message from Old Yuan:

[Boring, a bunch of trash, they block me just because they can’t out-argue me.]

Qu Tong couldn’t help crying and laughing. From now on, everyone would know about Miss Ali’s irritable temperament, ready to argue with heaven and earth and even the air.

Even Liang Ge sent her a [666], along with a screenshot of the trending search.

The Palace Commander and Fu Jin also sent messages to calm her down, telling her not to be angry and that the situation should get better next month.

Many noble families and elites watched from the sidelines, hoping that the two families would engage in a price war so they could pick up bargains.

Unexpectedly, Si Yuting actually sent her Purified Moonlight Grass.

Not to Jun Li, but to Qu Tong.

Though there were only thirty-some stalks, given the current situation, it must have taken quite an effort.

She found it quite useful.

One day, after class, Rong Yueqing and Qu Tong were heading back to their dormitory when they saw Rong Chengjue’s brilliant golden hair from a distance—it was genuinely eye-catching, smooth and beautiful.

Full of joy, Rong Yueqing ran over.

Qu Tong nodded as a greeting and said to Rong Yueqing, "I’ll head back first."

But Rong Chengjue said, "I’m looking for you."

The words "See you later" that were on the tip of Rong Yueqing’s tongue were swallowed back down.

Qu Tong stopped in her tracks and looked back in surprise.

Rong Chengjue glanced around, noticing there were no other people, and spoke directly, "If you can’t stay in the Canaan Empire, you can go to our Kasa Empire."

Qu Tong frowned.

Rong Chengjue stepped forward, his voice tinged with solemnity, "Although our Empire has a Potion Grandmaster, there is a market vacancy for the Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potion. You could sit in a position equal to that of the Alchemist Association."

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Rong Yueqing looked completely baffled.

"Yes, Seventh Prince, you must be mistaking me for someone else," Qu Tong said, casually twirling her Optical Brain Bracelet.

"No mistake, I am looking for you, Qu Tong, or should I say, Miss Jun Li."

"Ah?" Rong Yueqing’s peach blossom eyes widened in surprise, turning towards Qu Tong, "Is the Prince Consort Sister really Miss Jun Li?"

Qu Tong didn’t answer Rong Yueqing; her delicate brow furrowed slightly.

She couldn’t recall when she had ever given herself away in front of Rong Chengjue.

"May 18, the back gate of the school, the tree-lined path."

Rong Chengjue seemed to guess what Qu Tong was thinking and gave the exact answer.

Qu Tong didn’t remember any May 18, but she had only been to the school’s back gate once.

Qu Tong’s face remained expressionless, her gaze toward Rong Chengjue grew somewhat cold.

"Miss Jun Li, don’t be in a hurry to refuse. My word is always valid," Rong Chengjue wasn’t upset, as if all of Qu Tong’s reactions were expected.

In front of Qu Tong appeared a golden Boundary Card bearing the emblem of the Kasa Empire.

"Miss Ali might find this useful," Rong Chengjue said, his lips curved with a certain certainty.

Rong Yueqing’s willow brows knitted together, Prince Consort Sister? Miss Jun Li? Miss Ali?

Looking again and again, she finally sorted out the relationship.

No wonder the Prince Consort Sister and Miss Jun Li were both so exceptionally good to her and always had an endless supply of potions.

Her eyes twinkling with stars, she said, "Prince Consort Sister, I look forward to your visit to our country, and I can be your tour guide when you do."

Qu Tong smiled at Rong Yueqing, her pale fingers taking the entry Boundary Card, "Alright, I will consider it. As for my identity, I hope the Seventh Prince and Beauty Yueqing will keep it a secret."

Rong Chengjue: "Of course."

Rong Yueqing also gently nodded, "I will keep the secret for Prince Consort Sister."

Rong Yueqing still found it impossible to connect Qu Tong with the fearsome Jun Li, and she asked quietly, "Prince Consort Sister, isn’t your physique an F? What exactly is going on?"

Qu Tong stuffed two boxes of strawberries in Rong Yueqing’s mouth, and turning around, she noticed Rong Chengjue’s gaze upon her, dark and inscrutable.

Qu Tong took out another box and passed it over, "Beauty Yueqing says you don’t like sweets."

Rong Chengjue accepted the box, his expression slightly mocking, "Not liking and not eating are two different things."

Qu Tong ignored Rong Chengjue’s strange behavior.

It wasn’t until she returned to her dormitory that a solemn expression surfaced on Qu Tong’s face.

She had overheard the entire conversation between her and Old Yuan that day; Rong Chengjue obviously had too.

She had never cared to find out.

Why Rong Yueqing and Rong Chengjue came to the Canaan Empire, to the First Military Academy.

Was it just to poach her, to add a Senior Alchemist to their arsenal in the competition for the throne?

For Rong Chengjue, wasn’t this tactic a bit too gentle?

Qu Tong felt that Rong Chengjue’s purpose must be more than that, but she had no leads at the moment.

She could only take it one step at a time.

At least for now, there was no threat to her.

Qu Tong put these thoughts behind her and continued to concoct her potions for the day.

These past few days, apart from attending classes, Qu Tong had been concocting potions in her dormitory, even substituting meals with nutrient potions.

To deal with the Alchemist Association, she really had made significant sacrifices.
