Chapter 1023 - Pill Competition 5

1023 Pill Competition 5

Shi Qian Zhi saw that Sima You Yue was rather suspicious and he smiled, saying, “You seem as if you do not know how important you are to him.”

“Is that so?” She looked at the stranger who was Jiang Jun Xian and she seemed to smile a little helplessly as she muttered.

“His heart is actually very bitter.” Shi Qian Zhi said, “Although it’s a little pretentious to say so, having known him for a hundred over years, I can read his mood from his eyes. His anger, hatred, apathy, discomfort. I know them all.”

“Why does it sound like you’re so passionate about him?” Sima You Yue felt a cold shiver.

“Hehe, I am a straight male. I only have interest in females.” Shi Qian Zhi said.

“Mmhmm, the one you like is Shi Qiu Shang. However, she’s just a single female. She doesn’t represent females overall.” Sima You Yue said.

“You even realised this.” Shi Qian Zhi didn’t deny it, “It’s a pity that she has never even once considered me since long ago.”

“You said it yourself that it was a long time ago. It’s different now, I can tell that she can’t bear to leave you.” Sima You Yue said.

“But it’s not because she loves me. However, who cares whether or not it is? It’s enough for her to stay by my side.” Shi Qian Zhi’s smile was tinted with pain.

“An intelligent way of thinking.” Sima You Yue said, “There are times where two people don’t have to mind so much when they are together.”

“You sound like someone who has experienced it before.” Shi Qian Zhi smiled.

“There are some things you don’t have to experience. Just seeing it is the same.” Sima You Yue siad.

“Hehe, maybe.” Shi Qian Zhi laughed lightly. He didn’t know whether she agreed with him or not.

The both of them kept silent later on and continued to watch the competition below. Apart from Jiang Jun Xian, Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao passed as well. The other students from the sect were disqualified.

When Jiang Jun Xian was resting, he glanced at Jiang Jun Zhe.

Once the competition was over, Jiang Jun Zhi would definitely not make it to the top ten. When they realised that the one they had abandoned before was the true genius, what kind of expressions would they have?

Sima You Yue looked at Jiang Jun Xian’s eyes and sighed secretly.

As time passed, many completed their refinement and the one in charge of taking note of their scores came to take it down. After that, they returned to their resting area.

Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao didn’t complete it that well. Many had finished refining the pills before they were done. However, their expressions weren’t bad. They were not like the others who were flustered and exasperated.

“Do you think Jun Xian will be able to enter the top ten?” Shi Qian Zhi asked.

“Whether or not he can enter, I do not know. But Jian Jun Zhe will definitely not be able to.” Sima You Yue said.

There were still a few tens of people before Jiang Jun Xian had finished. If their results were all higher than his, he would not be able to enter. However, if there were those who did worse than he did, he would still have a chance.

“That guy always looks capable, but he can’t actually do it. It’s already amazing that he was able to enter the top hundred. I dare to bet that he’s one of the last few.” Shi Qian Zhi said.

“I think that we don’t have to bet on that.”

“Bang-”

Just after Sima You Yue spoke, Jiang Jun Zhe’s furnace exploded.

At this moment, his furnace had already exploded three times. He had already lost all of his chances and his score was now zero.

However, he had managed to enter this round, which put him in the top hundred.

“Look at the Jiang clansmen. Haha, their faces are positively green.” Shi Qian Zhi laughed while pointing at the Jiang clan, causing others to look their way as well.

Laughing at others so brazenly, he was really the first!

“Could you be more subtle?” Sima You Yue rolled his eyes.

“This is something to celebrate about. Why should I be subtle about it?” Shi Qian Zhi threw the question back at her.

He had never been someone who laid low. On the other hand, he loved to be high key, which was why many powers in the inner regions knew of him.

However, when he saw Sima You Yue roll her eyes, he still had the bit of awareness not to laugh out loud.

When the competition was over, Shi Qian Zhi was the first to leave. Sima You Yue was rather glad that he had gone off. However, because others had already decided that they were together, they took it all out on her.

By the time they returned to the inn, the results of the day before were released. Sima You Yue was naturally the first one to enter the final round of the pill competition.

Mao San Quan was smiling so wide that his wrinkles were stretched tight. This was the first time in all these years that the sect had raised so many eyebrows. They, who were once the butt of the jokes of many, actually produced someone who caused everyone’s jaws to drop.

In the final competition, Sima You Yue was placed first, Gu Xi Ping was placed seventh, and of the remaining eight, three were from the central region and the rest were from the inner regions. You could see from this just how wide the disparity was between the inner and outer regions.

As for the three from the inner regions, she kind of knew them. One of them was from Tuoba Yan from the Tuoba clan, another was Cang Lang Chi from the Cang Lang clan, and the other was Mo Yu from the Western Liang’s Mo clan.

Tuoba from the East Mountain, Cang Lang from the barren North and the Qin clan from Southern Desolation. The four of them had all sent men, but the Qin clan was somewhat lacking and none managed to enter the top ten.

Once Sima You Yue came to the resting area, the other nine were already there. When they saw her enter, they all stared at her.

“Sima You Yue. Someone from the Sima clan?” Shen Ye Xuan, who placed third in the previous competition, asked.

“Sima Clan? What Sima clan?” Sima You Yue looked at him with a confused expression.

“You’re not from the Sima clan?” Shen Ye Xuan asked.

“I don’t know what Sima clan you’re talking about.” Sima You Yue said with a shake of her head.

“Xuan Xuan, he’s not from the Sima Clan. This time, the Sima clan sent Sima Yi Yun and Sima Qi Qi and the others. They were disqualified in the previous round.” Gu Xi Ping said, “I’ve never heard of a Sima You Yue from the Sima clan.”

Shen Ye Xuan looked at Gu Xi Ping before turning to Sima You Yue, asking, “Then where did you come from?”

This was someone from the inner regions. Prior to this, he did not know the names and identities of others. If it were not because Sima You Yue’s results were better than his, he would probably not have deigned to talk to her.

“I am a student from the Heavenly Sect.” She said lightly.

“Someone from the outer regions? Nobody from the Heavenly Sect has ever entered the top hundred before.” Song Ming Zhu, who was sitting with Shen Ye Xuan said.

“It’s not that nobody has ever done so, but that you did not know that they did.” Sima You Yue said.

“I’ve heard that the Heavenly Sect was initially going to be dropped by the Pill Subdivision. However, because of the previous incident, you were saved. However, relying on those kinds of methods to remain is not anything glamorous, is it?”

“Is that not so? It is merely a sect in the outer regions with a little bit of power. They actually think something of themselves!”

Sima You Yue sneered inwardly. She did not even know these people, but they insisted on degrading her sect. It seemed that these people were not of good character.

“However, based on what I know, as long as I enter the top hundred, the sect will be able to remain in the pill subdivision boldly. Am I not standing here with you guys right now? Now that you mention it, my results seem to have been slightly superior to yours in the previous three rounds. I was also the only one who got a perfect score in the discourse in the beginning, right?” She retorted sarcastically.
