Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 695: Unexpected

“Afraid of being forced into the potion room?” Old Master Zhuge was somewhat surprised by Su Huiqing’s answer.

Upon hearing this, Su Huiqing sighed. “You don’t know that, long ago, Teacher Yun wanted me to refine potions. If he knows that I am here today, he will definitely teach me a good lesson when I return to school.”

Upon hearing Su Huiqing’s words, Old Master Zhuge laughed. This was the first time he smiled so happily overseas.

Meanwhile, Fu Meng had long been forgotten.

She looked at Su Huiqing and clenched her fists tightly.

From the moment she knew that Su Huiqing might be from the miracle doctor’s sect, Fu Meng paid more attention to Su Huiqing.

Especially the high-level potions that appeared in the International Association, as well as those potions that had a purity of 90% and above. She had suspected that Su Huiqing was a potion maker, but her hopes were dashed.

However, the truth was right before their eyes. Su Huiqing was not only a potion maker.

Su Huiqing’s talent as a potion maker was far higher than hers.

She didn’t want to believe this outcome. The voices in front of her were almost blocked by herself. From the start of this competition, she had treated herself as Old Master Zhuge’s disciple.

She was the most talented person overseas. Even Old Master Zhuge looked at her in a different light.

Today should have been another peak in her life.

Ever since she knew that Su Huiqing had come overseas, she had been testing Su Huiqing. However, she had never really killed this woman because she held the Dark Immortal Badge in her hand. Her talent in potions didn’t concern Su Huiqing at all.

However, she never expected that the talent she was so proud of was nothing compared to Su Huiqing!

Fu Meng’s face darkened.

However, at this moment, only a few people paid attention to her. However, she was clearly in a bad mood even if her brows didn’t dare to touch.

The invigilator had already placed the list outside.

Outside, Yu Yan, Yu Han, and the rest were more anxious and restless.

Qu Yan and the rest were leisurely munching on melon seeds.

“Why aren’t the two of you in a hurry?” Seeing Qu Yan like this, Yu Qin couldn’t help but ask.

“Do you eat melon seeds?” Qu Yan pushed the melon seeds in front of her. “It’s watermelon-flavored and very delicious.”

“There are actually watermelon-flavored melon seeds?” Yu Qin was stunned and instantly wanted to say something to Qu Yan.

“Yes, yes.” Qu Yan continued to push her over. “It’s really delicious.”

By the time Yu Qin reacted, she was already munching on melon seeds with Qu Yan.

At this moment, Yu Qin had already given up. “Why do you think Miss Su wants to go against Old Master Zhuge? Could it be that she used such a strange method to attract Old Master Zhuge’s attention?”

With that, she popped a few melon seeds.

Qu Yan glanced at her. “Do you really not trust Qingqing?”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you.” Yu Qin continued to grab a bunch of melon seeds. “It’s just that Miss Su has never learned potions before. Moreover, she is already a fifth-level expert…”

Qu Yan just smiled and remained silent.

The plaza was isolated. The people outside didn’t know what happened inside, but when Old Master Zhuge and Su Huiqing came out, the invigilator posted the ranking list, and everyone saw the name.

Gong Yu searched for Fu Meng’s name. Fu Meng was second, 200 points.

Because she failed to concoct a potion.

The third place was 150 points.

Fu Meng was only second place. What about the first place? Everyone’s eyes were on the top name.

It was written in a regular script, and the name was even bigger than the words below.

It clearly wrote a few words—

Su Huiqing, 360 points!

Everyone’s voices disappeared at that instant!

Including General Yuan.

He had always known that Su Huiqing was talented in potions. It was because she had traded five bottles of high-level potions with him that he stood behind Su Huiqing resolutely.

However, he didn’t compare Su Huiqing to Fu Meng because he always thought that Su Huiqing had a powerful potion teacher backing her.

However, he never expected to see such an outcome today!

Su Huiqing’s talent in potions was not inferior to Fu Meng’s.

Fu Meng was actually second, especially against Su Huiqing who scored twice as much as Fu Meng.

Kacha—

Yu Qin’s melon seeds fell to the ground, but she didn’t care. She was dumbstruck.

Seeing their shocked expressions, the invigilator felt much better. He couldn’t be the only one shocked.

He pretended to cough before continuing. “The first is Miss Su Huiqing. Other than her, Old Master Zhuge will choose ten more people to teach. The list of people will be announced in a few days.”

“Yu Yan, Yu Yan.” Yu Qin gulped. “Are you telling me that I was wrong?”

Yu Yan and the rest didn’t react either.

Qu Yan and Yu Xiangyang exchanged glances and chuckled. They were not surprised at all.

Gong Yu put down the cup in his hand and retracted his gaze from Su Huiqing. He then looked at Yu Shijin who had remained calm beside him. “Mr. Yu, you don’t seem surprised at all. Miss Su actually got first place?”
