My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too-Chapter 88 - Alchemy Conference
Chapter 88 -88 Alchemy Conference
The Alchemy Conference’s venue was bustling and prosperous, with all the participants and their respective factions having already entered the arena.
At that moment, on the judges’ bench at the venue, an elder in red robes caressed his chin’s beard with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the young faces below.
“How nostalgic, we too once participated in such lively conferences, hehe, now that we’re all here, it’s time for these youngsters to have their own world.”
The elder in yellow robes glanced at the red-robed elder and chuckled, “Elder Huo, if I remember correctly, the championship at that year’s conference should have belonged to Wu Yu, yet he encountered an accident halfway through, and consequently, the Chairman snatched the victory. Wu Yu has been resentful ever since and vowed to take on an exceptional disciple to surpass the Chairman’s grandson. I wonder if, after all these years, he has found such a remarkable candidate.”
Upon hearing this, the elder referred to as Elder Huo in red robes laughed, “That’s exactly why Wu Yu was so discontent that he didn’t join the Alchemy Guild with us in the end. Instead, he went to a Sect and became a Chief Alchemy Master. However, if Wu Yu took an interest in someone, that disciple must possess extraordinary talent; he has always been one to set the bar high. Moreover, with the Chairman’s grandson setting the precedent, he wouldn’t take a disciple unless he found one who could surpass him.”

“Ah,” sighed Elder He, “if only Wu Yu had joined the Alchemy Guild with us, it would have been wonderful. Apart from everything else, the Chairman has been thinking of him all this time, always saying how fortunate he was to win unfairly and wanting to have a proper contest with Wu Yu. But they are both old now; it’s time for the younger generation to do the competing.”
...
As they recalled the past, both men looked at each other and let out a wry smile in succession.
“Never mind, let’s not talk about the past. Who knows if we might encounter any promising talent this year. I’ve heard that Qin Feifei of the Qin Family and Tan Qing of the Tan Family are quite talented geniuses.”
Elder Huo smiled slightly, truth be told, seeing those youngsters stirred the urge within him to take on disciples again.
“However, I’m looking forward to seeing a dark horse emerge.”
Only then could the competition truly become interesting.
As soon as he finished speaking, an elder in black robes, who had been silent all along, let out a disdainful snort, “A dark horse? Is it even possible for one to emerge? The championship is bound to go to the Chairman’s grandson. The only contest might be for the runner-up, likely to be Qin Feifei of the Qin Family. Recently, she reached Low-level Earth Rank at the age of seventeen. Her talent is second only to that of the Chairman’s grandson.”
With a mysterious smile, Elder Huo replied, “That may not necessarily be the case, Elder Qin. It’s better to not speak too certainly of such matters, for there are many variables in the world.”
Having said that, Elder Huo paid no mind to Elder Qin’s livid expression and turned his head to look at the young people below.
“Sister, it’s her.”
At that instant atop the venue, Qin Luo caught sight of Mu Ruyue amidst the crowd, a trace of hatred flashing in his eyes, “She was the one who wrecked my carriage that day. Had it not been for her, I would have bolted away, and Madam Sheng Yue would never have caught me. Besides, it’s not certain my horse would have collided with that girl. If she hadn’t meddled, how could I have ended up like this?”
Thinking back, Qin Luo felt his body ache all over again.
Qin Feifei followed Qin Luo’s gaze towards the girl not far away, a frigid intent passing across her delicate features.
She knew her brother’s character well: he was the type to bully others on the strength of their family’s power, always acting above the law with the backing of the Qin Family. But who could blame him? He was the Qin Family’s only son and had been spoiled since childhood.
As for his claim that he might not have hit her, it was merely his side of the story. However, no matter how unworthy Qin Luo might be, he was still her brother.
“This tournament is hosted by the Alchemy Guild, and though our Qin Family has connections within the Guild, the rules prohibit injuring participants outside of matches. So, I’ll make things difficult for her during the competition.”
A mere Mid-level Human-class Pharmacist is hardly worth my attention.
