Protect Our Chief-Chapter 478 - 10 Bro! I can only do my best
...
During the time Qiaan Xuefu lamented the unfairness of life, two or three more young women came over to chat with Wang Shouye, only to be gracefully rejected by him one by one.
Why is the gap between people so big?
Qiaan Xuefu mourned endlessly while secretly cheering himself on. Qiaan Xuefu, oh Qiaan Xuefu, at least you have outstanding alchemy skills. Once you become a Great Alchemist in the future, the same "troubles" will definitely come to you as well.
With this thought, his heart rekindled with a fiery fighting spirit, and he held a new hope for his future life.
At that moment.
A sudden commotion broke out in the crowd, and exclamations were heard: "Young Master Dongfang is here... Wow, he truly is a pillar of the younger generation in the alchemy realm. He’s so handsome!"
"What does handsomeness have to do with being a pillar of alchemy? But speaking of it, Dongfang Yuxi’s strength is indeed formidable. He’s said to be the hot favorite to win the championship this time."
"That’s right. He’s a Second Layer High Stage of the Li Fire Bloodline. If it weren’t for inheriting and supporting the declining Jin Port Dongfang Family, he would have already entered the Academy as a core disciple. With his top-notch talent in alchemy, he might even become a direct disciple!"
"Alas, what a pity, what a pity~ The Dongfang Family was also an established Celestial Human Family, but now they can barely complete the Celestial Human succession. Young Master Dongfang has to bear heavy burdens to support family expenses. He has sacrificed so much for his family..."
Among the remarks, many people’s attention was also drawn over.
Even Wang Shouye couldn’t help but gaze curiously. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Sure enough, at the entrance, a young gentleman was walking in slowly.
This person was dressed in a white robe, with features as refined as jade, truly possessing the demeanor of a graceful young man.
However, although he was handsome, his face was expressionless, carrying an aloof and stern air, as if someone owed him a fortune in Qian Gold.
Yet despite this, many young girls around still screamed incessantly, eyes filled with infatuation.
Wherever he passed, the crowd quickly parted, making way for him.
"Brother Qiaan, is this Dongfang Yuxi really that skilled in alchemy?" Wang Shouye asked curiously.
Changning Guard is remote, and news is not as well informed as in the Commandery, plus, he has always been immersed in alchemy, indifferent to worldly affairs, and hadn’t heard of Dongfang Yuxi’s fame.
"Hmph, he’s just a direct lineage of a declining Seventh-Grade Noble Family. Someone who doesn’t know might think he’s from a Fifth-Grade Noble Family’s direct lineage, with such fanfare at his entrance." Qiaan Xuefu snorted, a tone thick with jealousy, "However, when it comes to alchemy and cultivation talent, he does have some, roughly on par with me."
"Is he really that formidable? Indeed, the disciple selection event of Master Dan Ding is truly full of geniuses." Wang Shouye exclaimed, his expression shifting to one of melancholy, "This time, I really understand what it means to be above the skies, there are skies above the heavens."
"Junior Brother Wang, don’t overthink it. This time, there are over a thousand applicants, yet Master Dan Ding will only choose three. Think about it, aside from your looks, which surpass the rest, how can you compete with family background and alchemy skills for the top three? Moreover, we, Old Qian, have already secured a spot. That Dongfang Yuxi is likely to take another... Just see this as an experience to gain knowledge," Qiaan Xuefu comforted him, patting his shoulder.
Mentioning this event inflated Qiaan Xuefu’s sense of superiority.
"Alas, I fear I’ll disappoint Fourth Brother this time." Wang Shouye’s words were filled with bitterness.
After all, he was too young and hadn’t anticipated the fierce competition at the disciple selection event of Master Dan Ding.
As time went by, more people continued to enter, with one hot candidate emerging after another.
Most of these people came from Sixth-Grade Noble Families, were talented alchemy elites nurtured from a young age, and although still young, were all famously reputable.
In addition, there was a Loose Cultivator who particularly stood out.
This Loose Cultivator was named "Sii Xinghai." After entering, he ignored everyone, resting against a wall with eyes closed, presenting an aura of "strangers keep out," starkly contrasting with the lively atmosphere around.
However, upon seeing this person, Qiaan Xuefu’s expression turned serious: "Junior Brother Wang, don’t underestimate Sii Xinghai. Although he’s a Loose Cultivator, he’s very famous among the younger generation, with exceptionally outstanding alchemy skills."
"Perhaps in terms of hard strength, he’s not as good as Dongfang Yuxi, but being a Loose Cultivator himself, Master Dan Ding, who was originally a Loose Cultivator, will certainly favor Loose Cultivators. As long as he doesn’t perform poorly, his chances of being chosen by Master Dan Ding exceed fifty percent. Before today, I heard some rumors that Master Dan Ding highly regards him."
Wang Shouye was struck speechless.
Even a Loose Cultivator is so formidable? In this case, how can Wang Shouye compete for one of the limited three slots?
Forget it, forget it~ Since I’m here, I might as well give it my all~ At the least, I should live up to the relentless support my family has provided over the years.
At this time.
Lei Lingyun also returned after gathering information.
Her expression wasn’t looking great either, lightly pursing her lips and said, "Husband, I didn’t expect so many young experts at this year’s disciple selection event of Master Dan Ding. The difficulty of being chosen is likely not low. However, Lingyun believes that husband is surely the strongest..."
