Chapter 393: Revelation of Xiao Yi Xian's Identity!

Originally, her ability to produce a fourth-grade pill was already considered a remarkable achievement, especially compared to previous competitions. She was confident, even claiming that if she couldn't win first place, she’d at least secure second or third. However, reality quickly slapped her in the face: both second and third places had already been taken.

"Who is that mysterious person? Jumping in at the last moment, making it so I didn’t even place in the top three!" The little princess glanced at the black-robed figure, muttering to herself.

The next moment, Fa Ma finally announced her ranking.

"In fourth place of the tournament, the princess of the Jia Ma Empire, Yao Yue."

Upon hearing that the fourth place belonged to the imperial princess, some spectators became excited again. Judging by her age, for someone so young to reach this level already, she might rival the top three in the future on her path as a pharmacist.

"Congratulations, Brother Liu!"

After learning her ranking, the little princess adjusted her mood and smiled to congratulate Liu Ling.

"Haha, little sister Yue'er, you did well too. In a couple of years, you’ll surely achieve even more!"

Hearing her congratulations, Liu Ling responded with a warm smile, praising her in return.

"Aren't you just stating the obvious? Of course, I’ll be stronger in two years!" The little princess couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Liu Ling’s empty compliment.

After her congratulations, Fa Ma enthusiastically patted Liu Ling on the shoulder and laughed, "Liu Ling, you’re far more talented than your master. Perhaps even in less than two years, you'll surpass Gu He!"

"Cough cough... Me? Surpass my master?"

Hearing Fa Ma’s words, Liu Ling reacted with shock, nearly choking on his own saliva.

Seeing his reaction, Fa Ma continued, "Come on, don’t be so reserved. 'Green surpasses blue.' If you surpass your master, Gu He would be even happier than I would!"

"Haha! You’re just joking, Chairman."

Liu Ling gave a dry laugh, not taking Fa Ma's words seriously, as Gu He’s strength was deeply imprinted in his mind.

"What kind of person is my master? Surpassing him? Dream on!"

...

As Fa Ma continued announcing the top ten, the tournament neared its end. Many unsuccessful contestants shook their heads and left the square, yet surprisingly, Little Doctor Immortal remained after the results were declared.

"With her strength, is she really staying to receive that small reward for second place?"

The delicate and graceful face of Xiao Yi Xian was instantly revealed to everyone.

"Haha! It really is Senior Sister!"

Even from her spot in the VIP section, Nalan Yanran, standing a bit further away, recognized Xiao Yi Xian at once and leapt up with excitement.

"Liu Ling, what’s going on here? How is this mysterious person your junior sister?"

"Liu Ling, don’t make any mistakes—this woman is highly skilled and practices poison arts. She might very well be an imposter from the Chu Yun Empire!"

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian’s true appearance, Fa Ma and Jia Xing Tian still felt a lingering wariness. The next moment, both transmitted their thoughts to Liu Ling almost simultaneously.

"How could I be mistaken? She’s the second disciple of my master, Junior Sister Xiao Yi Xian. She just spent a year training in the Chu Yun Empire!" Liu Ling casually replied to Fa Ma and Jia Xing Tian before walking straight towards Xiao Yi Xian.

"Don’t...!"

Jia Xing Tian was about to warn Liu Ling of the potential danger when he saw Liu Ling and Xiao Yi Xian reach out to give each other a high-five, then begin chatting enthusiastically.

"Junior Sister Xiao Yi Xian, you really kept me in the dark with this trick!" Liu Ling said with feigned annoyance.

"Senior Brother, I’m sorry. I was just worried that if you knew I was also participating in the Alchemist Tournament, you’d hold back for my sake. That’s why I thought of this approach—I didn’t mean to deceive you!" Xiao Yi Xian explained, sounding a bit apologetic.

Their conversation wasn’t particularly concealed, so some of the people nearby could hear it clearly.

"Is... is this really the same person?"

As Fa Ma and Jia Xing Tian listened to Xiao Yi Xian’s gentle tone, their eyes widened in shock. They could hardly believe this soft-spoken young woman was the same powerful and fierce poison master they had encountered the previous night.
