Chapter 435: Competition Start! (1)

Shen Yanxiao’s arrogance shocked everyone. Everyone knew about Luo Fan’s abilities as an herbalist, so they did not expect that Shen Yanxiao would say those words.

The students from the Yates Academy acted as if they had seen a ghost. They had never seen anyone who had dared to speak with Luo Fan in such a tone.

Shen Yanxiao was not only arrogant; it seemed like he wanted to seek death!

Luo Fan snorted and decided not to continue with their verbal fight. He was extremely confident that he could make Shen Jue suffer a devastating defeat with the formula that Pu Lisi had taught him.

The trio’s competition had attracted the Herbalist Division’s attention, and large quantities of medicinal ingredients had been transported into the refining room for their use.

Pu Lisi stood at the forefront as he looked at the trio. The moment he looked at Shen Yanxiao, his expression turned evil.

Each of them had a table for their usage, and they were already at their positions. The competition was about to commence, and all the spectators held their breaths.

The problem was, who would referee the competition.

Luo De had also arrived in the refining room, but since Pu Lisi was also at the scene, he would not have the opportunity to referee the match. However, Luo De was reluctant to have Pu Lisi as the referee because that would mean that Shen Yanxiao would be in a disadvantageous position.

Even so, except for Pu Lisi, no one else could assume the role.

Everyone knew that Shangguan Xiao was Pu Lisi’s student. They had also allied with Luo Fan to frame Tang Nazhi. Any fool could see that the three were allies. If Pu Lisi were to referee the match, then it could spell a disaster for Shen Yanxiao.

Luo De was anxious for her. The competition was about to start, but there was nothing that could be done to change the situation.

Just as Luo De was ridden with anxiety, a person with a long pure-white robe appeared in the room and caught everyone’s attention.

The arrogant Pu Lisi had immediately gasped when he noticed the person’s arrival.

“Great Master Ye Qing!” Pu Lisi cried out in alarm.

That person was none other than world-renowned Great Master Ye Qing.

After Ye Qing took to the library, it had been dozens of years since he had stepped outside. However, he had suddenly made his appearance there that day.

Pu Lisi’s surprise had shocked everyone else too.

Everyone’s gazes were locked onto Ye Qing.

Even students from the Yates Academy widened their eyes in surprise.

Ye Qing was the only person in the entire Brilliance Continent who was the closest to the status of a Grandmaster Herbalist. He was the idol of all herbalists!

Luo Fan was extremely excited. It had almost been a month since he had arrived at the Saint Laurent Academy, and he had not met with Ye Qing. Finally, he could meet the teacher of his dreams!

“Great Master Ye Qing, why have you come today?” Pu Lisi hastily went forward to welcome him. He was like an ordinary humble herbalist apprentice in front of Ye Qing.

A smile surfaced on Ye Qing’s friendly face.

“It has been a long time since I came out for a walk. I have been thinking about it, and coincidentally, I heard that there’s a competition here today. I am just here to join the crowd. Please, continue and pay no heed to me.”
