Cheng Lingsu no longer wants to continue the competition, but if he withdraws at this time, it will be a joke.
Something seemed to be surging in her chest, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
In so many years, this is the first time that someone has taken her first place.
She took a breath and showed a faint smile, as if she was not affected: "Okay."
…
There was deathly silence outside the barrier, especially the Cheng family's side. The atmosphere went from boiling to freezing almost instantly.
Everyone couldn't believe the scene before them, but the slender and straight red figure climbing up the stairs kept reminding them that they had indeed lost!
Not losing to the Xu family, but... losing to the Pei family, which had never been taken seriously before!
No, it should be said that he lost to Ye Xiyue!
Cheng Chongjun's face was as cold as water, and even if he had the best self-control, he could hardly hold back at this moment.
He knows Cheng Lingsu's talent best. Over the years, the entire Cheng family has always valued her very much and used all their resources to cultivate her. Cheng Lingsu has indeed not let them down. She has always been a top-notch alchemy genius.
Until now, her undefeated record has finally been broken.
He looked at Pei Zhongtian: "Master Pei, this alchemist of yours...is really secretive."
Of course Pei Zhongtian knew how bad his emotions were in these words, but so what?
Could it be that only the Cheng family is allowed to sit in this first position, and no one else is allowed to come?
He smiled and cupped his hands: "Miss Ye should be very happy to be praised by the head of the Cheng family."
On the contrary, he changed his previous nervousness, and his brows and eyes were full of high spirits.
Cheng Chongjun hit a snag and knew it was inappropriate to continue asking questions in this situation. He closed his eyes and suppressed his inner emotions.
…
Ye Xiyue walked all the way to the top of the mountain.
There seemed to be an invisible force surrounding her, accompanying her.
She couldn't describe it, nor could she capture it, but she felt an inexplicable sense of comfort for some reason, as if her whole body was soaked in hot spring water.
Even the spiritual and mental energy that was spent refining the medicine just now was well replenished, and he quickly became energetic, with full and abundant strength in his body.
This feeling is really rare...
Ye Xiyue walked for a while and suddenly noticed that Pei Qingyu's footsteps behind him seemed to be getting further and further away, so she looked back.
Seeing Pei Qingyu's slightly pale face, she was stunned.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Looks like you don't feel comfortable?
Pei Qingyu looked up and was stunned. He looked at her several times and then asked tentatively: "Little junior sister, aren't you... tired?"
tired?
Ye Xiyue shook her head.
She feels very good now. This is the most comfortable time since entering the hunting ground.
Pei Qingyu also saw that something was wrong, and frowned slightly: "This...this last section of the road is also blocked by coercion, you..."
This feeling was not the same as the Wanjun Realm, and in comparison, he even felt that it was harder to walk here, and he was more physically and mentally exhausted.
It stands to reason that Ye Xiyue has just finished refining a fourth-grade elixir, and she should feel tired easily, but why does she look... in good condition?
Ye Xiyue's eyes moved slightly, and she saw that Xu Cheng and the others were walking this way at this time, but they were obviously walking with some difficulty, and they looked like they were carrying a heavier burden than Pei Qingyu.
Her eyebrows moved slightly.
Could it be...that she acted like this because she once pocketed the Huntian Divine Stone from Jiuling Pagoda?
At this moment, a subtle wave suddenly emerged from the Qiankun Ring!
