Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 693: Nine Sets!

The teacup in Yu Shijin’s hand froze, and his pitch-black eyes darkened.

“Should we…?” Yu Han glanced at Yu Shijin’s expression.

“No need.” Yu Shijin put down his teacup and looked ahead. His voice was unprecedentedly calm. “Let’s pretend this never happened.”

Nothing happened?

Yu Han was stunned? Back then, Yu Shijin had risked his life to investigate this matter and didn’t care about his health. How could he say that he didn’t care now?

Yu Han glanced at Yu Shijin. Although he felt strange, he didn’t ask further.

Together with Yu Shijin, they looked in the direction of the plaza.

…

On the plaza, Su Huiqing, Qu Yan, and Yu Xiangyang stood together.

Gu Li had to settle some matters with Chi Yue and didn’t come over.

The red-haired boy looked around and saw Su Huiqing. His eyes lit up. “I have been looking for you for a long time. I finally see you.”

“It’s you.” Su Huiqing smiled and naturally recognized that person. “This is my friend, Qu Yan, Yu Xiangyang.”

The two sides greeted each other.

The red-haired boy also introduced himself as Yang Chen and then glanced at the examiner walking over. “Miss Su, you know Miss Fu Meng. You will definitely advance successfully.”

“Me?” Su Huiqing smiled. “I can advance just because I know Fu Meng? Where did this theory come from?”

“Of course, I know.” The boy smiled smugly. “How weak are Miss Fu Meng’s friends?”

Su Huiqing glanced at him and didn’t say anything. At this moment, everyone was here.

On the main seat, Old Master Zhuge sat upright.

The invigilator opened the notebook in his hand. It was filled with rankings. He said in a deep voice, “These rankings are very fair. Our teacher personally arranged them. If you write a potion formula correctly, you will get 20 points. Of course, if you write a good potion list, you will add another 10 points.”

“First place, Fu Meng. 120 points?” The examiner paused.

The entire plaza looked over at Fu Meng. It caused a stir.

Yang Chen was also so excited that his face turned red. “Miss Su, did you hear that? Six! Six is actually correct!”

On the main seat, Gong Yu glanced at Fu Meng and nodded slightly in satisfaction.

The invigilator waved his hand to calm everyone down. He continued, “Second place, 90 points…”

“Fifth place, Yang Chen, 70 points…”

At the mention of fifth place, Yang Chen opened his mouth and could not believe that he was fifth…

Su Huiqing frowned. Although she was not sure that everything she wrote was correct, it was not to the extent that all three were wrong. The invigilator had finished reading all of them and did not have her name.

Qu Yan and Yu Xiangyang were initially very happy, but after hearing that Su Huiqing did not advance, it was a little strange.

Others might not know, but they knew very well how talented Su Huiqing was in potions. They could tell from Teacher Yun chasing after the Dugu Family.

It was not that Yu Xiangyang was arrogant. He felt that the people present were not as talented as Su Huiqing. However, Su Huiqing’s name was not there.

“Qingqing, you wrote nine types, right?” Yu Xiangyang asked in a low voice.

Su Huiqing stuffed her hands into her pockets. “Nine. Even if there are mistakes, it doesn’t mean that all three are wrong.”

Yu Xiangyang and Qu Yan looked at each other. Before Su Huiqing could raise her hand, Qu Yan could not help but say, “Invigilator, I want to report that you are abusing the law!”

The invigilator heard someone speak and looked at Qu Yan, a nobody he had never seen before. “Why, what do you want to say?”

“Student Su Huiqing wrote nine types of potions. Why don’t you have her name here?” Qu Yan flipped onto the platform and took out the name list from the invigilator’s hands. Her eyes were bright.

Upon hearing this, the invigilator smiled mockingly. “You are Su Huiqing?”

“I am not.” Qu Yan crossed her arms, not afraid of anyone’s gaze. “I am her friend.”

“Since you are not, I have nothing to say to you. We are going to the next competition. You can leave.” The invigilator waved his hand and didn’t take Qu Yan seriously.

With that, he got someone to chase Qu Yan down.

General Yuan saw that it was Su Huiqing’s friend and didn’t dare to let her leave.

However, before he could speak, Old Master Zhuge spoke, “Wait, she said that Su Huiqing wrote nine types of potions. Is that the truth?”

Unexpectedly, Old Master Zhuge stood up. The invigilator’s face turned serious and immediately answered, “Old Master Zhuge, Su Huiqing’s answer sheet does have nine types of potions.”

There was an uproar.

The teacup in Gong Yu’s hand froze and almost knocked over. He turned to look at Su Huiqing.

Su Huiqing was also looking in his direction. Her eyes were extremely deep, but he could tell that Su Huiqing was not looking at him.

Fu Meng’s hand was also unstable. She stared intently at the examiner, not believing that Su Huiqing could really write a list of nine potions.

After all, she had only written six types!

Old Master Zhuge was also stunned.

However, the invigilator didn’t look shocked. He just shook his head and sighed before continuing. “However, seven of these nine types are written randomly.”
