Chapter 3663: Bias

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Second Young Master Sun was called Sun Shaolong. He glanced at the green-robed man, and couldn’t help but frown. He asked in displeasure, “Tan Bing, I didn’t offend you, so why are you going against me?”

I don’t like the look of you; I don’t have any ulterior motives,” the green-robed man, Tan Bing, said.

All right, all right.” A woman in purple stepped out to play mediator, “We are all from the White Night City, and we will see each other frequently. Just think of it as giving face to me, Zhuo Die.”

Sun Shaolong humphed, and said, “All right. For the sake of Sister Zhuo, I will not argue with him.”

“You speak as if I fear you.” Tan Bing was similarly proud.

“The two of you, speak less.” Zhuo Die lowered her hand.

Sun Shaolong, Tan Bing, Zhuo Die. They are members of the Ten Great Clans of White Night City, and also possess astonis.h.i.+ng natural talent in alchemy. They are only taking in three alchemy disciples this time round. Looks like we are all here just as company for their test.”

“F***, if I had known that the three of them had come, I would not have joined in on the excitement.”

Forget it. Since I’m already here, I’ll just treat it as practice.”

Everyone shook their heads. The moment Sun Shaolong and the others appeared, they instantly lost all hope.

Not long after, the examiner came out and announced the candidates that had pa.s.sed this stage.

“Sun Shaolong, Yang Xuan, Liu Shuang, Tan Bing, Zhuo Die… Ling Han.” Because Ling Han was the last to enter, he was naturally the last name to be read out. “Those who have been called, follow me, and begin the second test.” The others left helplessly. They hadn’t even pa.s.sed the first test, so staying would only be embarra.s.sing.

The remaining people entered into another room. It was also very big, but because there were more than half of them missing, it appeared very s.p.a.cious. “This stage is test of recognizing pharmacology. Write down the medicinal characteristics and taboos that you have seen,” the examiner said.

Everyone was still given a piece of jade, then with a command from the examiner, it was placed on their foreheads. Instantly, an image unfolded. Yi, the difficulty level had increased.

Previously, the medicinal ingredients had been fully displayed, but now, the display was a medicinal ingredient that had been processed. It was a medicinal ingredient that had been dried.

However, this naturally was not a problem for him.

Lmg Han quickly wrote down the medicinal ingredients’ name, unique traits, and careful use of the medicine. In just half a minute, he had already finished writing.

A minute later, another set of ingredients appeared.

This time, it was a dried fruit.

After the fruit was dried, it would naturally deform and shrivel, causing a great many features that were originally very obvious to disappear.

Yet Ling Han was very relaxed, and practically did not have the sligthest bit of hesitation. His pen moved skilfully.

The third piece, the fourth piece, the fifth piece. Very soon, his blank piece of paper was filled with words.

Ten minutes soon arrived, and the examiner announced the end. Everyone wrote their names on a piece of paper, then left.

When they arrived outside, everyone began to discuss the answers again, but this time, it was obviously much more difficult. There were a few questions that everyone argued back and forth, all of them thinking that their judgement was correct, arguing so much that their faces were flushed red.

Meanwhile, the three High Level alchemy apprentices who were grading the answers also began a fierce debate.

The two of you, this matter is a little difficult to deal with!” Deng Yingwei said. He pointed at the four answer scripts on the table, “Combined with the results of the two rounds, these four people are the most outstanding, especially this person called Ling Han. He has gotten 100% correct on both tests.”

However, the recruitment of only three apprentices this time has long since been decided. Furthermore, Tan Bing, Zhuo Die and Sun Shaolong are definitely going to be enrolled, so how could there be any spots left?”

Ye Wenbin also frowned deeply, “If the results of the four of them were more or less the same, then we would be able to find some excuse to dismiss this Ling Han, but the crux of the matter is that his results have left the rest behind in the dust.”

“Yes, Zhuo Die and the others all made a mistake in the first round, and in the second round, they all made two mistakes. In total, they made a total of three mistakes, which can’t compare to Ling Han at all.”

Song Tao shook his head, “Then what do we do, among Zhuo Die’s group of three, we take one of them off the list?”

“Do you dare?” Deng Yingwei countered.

I wouldn’t dare!” Song Tao sighed. He was only a High Level alchemy apprentice. In front of the ten great clans in the city, he was not even worth a feather. How could he dare to say no?

Moreover, this was something that was already previously agreed on. If he went back on his word… the consequences would be unimaginable.

Then I can only apologize to this little friend Ling Han,” Deng Yingwei said with a smile.

Ye Wenbin nodded, and said, “In any case, he has the skill, so it’s the same the next time he comes.”

“Who asked him to be so unlucky that he just happened to encounter Zhuo Die and the others this time?” Song Tao also laughed.

“Then I’ll go announce it,” Ye Wenbin said. Previously, it was he who had gone to announce the results.

“M-hm.”

Ye Wenbin walked out of the room, gathered everyone, and began to announce the results.

There are a total of four people who have pa.s.sed this time, and they are Tan Bing, Zhuo Die, Sun Shaolong and Ling Han.” He paused, “The four people whose names have been called come with me for the final round of the test.” Zhuo Die and the others were all smiling. They naturally knew that their family had already spoken to Ye Wenbin and the others. As long as they could enter into the final test, they would definitely be able to pa.s.s.

Of course, if their previous results were too poor, they could not blame others for not being able to help them.

This examination was naturally still a compet.i.tion of medicinal ingredients, but there were three examiners, who took out the medicinal ingredients that had been ground into powder for them to smell, and then had them announce the names of the medicinal ingredients.

Zhuo Die and the others proceeded first, and all of them successfully pa.s.sed the test. Lastly, it was Ling Han.

Ye Wenbin took out a jade box, and placed his hand on the lid. Then, he asked, “Are you ready?”

Ling Han nodded, “Yes.”

Ye Wenbin smiled at Deng Yingwei and Song Tao. The results of this test was naturally all under their control. If they were wrong, they could say that they were right, and if they were right, they could also say that they were wrong.

Of course, they wouldn’t make it so obvious. Instead, they would deliberately make it easier for Tan Bing and the others to distinguish the medicinal ingredients, and if it was Ling Han, hehe.

The jade box opened, and a medicinal fragrance instantly rushed out. Ye Wenbin did not give Ling Han the chance to smell it a few more times, and immediately closed the box again.

“Speak,” Ye Wenbin said calmly.

F***, so fast?

Ling Han mocked in his heart. Previously, Zhuo Die and the others had been sniffing here and there, and Ye Wenbin had not urged them at all, but now? He had just smelt it, and the box was already closed.

This was too unfair.

Lmg Han pondered for a moment, and 13 answers that matched his thoughts instantly appeared in his mind.

The Highest Heaven Gra.s.s, Heavenrose, Earth Origin Vine… these 13 medicinal ingredients all had this kind of smell after being ground into dust.

Great, this is deliberately targeting me, right?

Previously, the medicinal ingredients that Tan Bing and the others had identified were all very simple. Though Ling Han had not smelt them, from the medicinal ingredients themselves, the smell was very unique, but for him, this smell actually corresponded to thirteen different ingredients.

‘F*ck you!’

However, would he be so easily defeated?

“Name of the medicine?” Ye Wenbin urged, “You only have ten seconds, hurry

up.”

Ling Han was unmoved, and merely pondered quietly..
