Chapter 217: Relationship (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Nalan Tianwu looked at Mo Fei, with a shocking face.
Unlike Mo Fei who had no idea of what had happened in the first round, Nalan Tianwu had already been informed of the dispute about Mo Fei in the first round from her grandfather. Like Nalan Xing, she also turned up her nose at it in the beginning.
When in the second round, Mo Fei happened to sit next to Nalan Tianwu. When she saw that Mo Fei was refining the fifth potion with her split vision, she felt super alarmed and failed the last, also the most complicated level four one.
About Mo Fei’s performance, not only Nalan Tianwu, no one there could believe it.
Lin Feiyu looked at Mo Fei, both shocked and irritated. About the fact that Mo Fei was quite possibly a high level pharmacist, Lin Feiyu already highly doubted it before. But when it really happened in front of his eyes, Lin Feiyu felt it was like being suffocated by someone.
His talent in refining potions that he was most proud of was not even worth mentioning before Mo Fei. If it hadn’t been Mo Fei, he should have been the youngest level four pharmacist and also the most promising one. But now everyone’s eyes were on Mo Fei. He was just like an invisible person.
Lin Feiyu’s face reddened, he thought to himself: Last time when he said that he would guide Mo Fei, Mo Fei should be mocking him for his overconfidence in the heart!
Lin Feiyu played with his fingers, face flushed with shame. Now the whole world would think he was a total joke.
Lin Feiyu looked at Mo Fei, Liu Yu and Lou Feng angrily. First place in the talent competition, first place in potion competition, it seemed Mo Fei would take everything from his hands, only making everyone envious!
But Wu Gouyue felt proud and elated, and just couldn’t hold the smile going wild on her face.
Yan Chen said with disbelief while looking at the list, “Mo Fei even ranks before Nalan Tianwu? Am I still in a dream or what?”
Mo Yi sneered, “What’s the fuss that the young master is better than that Nalan Tianwu? Yanyan, you said you would reward the young master five hundred million if he wins the first place. You should go back to prepare the money now.”
Yan Chen nodded, “OK, sure thing, sure thing. Feifei is really a genius! An expert both in music and potions. I even wouldn’t doubt it if you tell me it is also Feifei who refined those formations!”
Mo Fei’s heart skipped a beat, but he still tried to act normal, “Are you kidding? That‘s the masterpiece of those researchers in the lab.”
Yan Chen nodded, “I know. I was just kidding.”
Mo Yi pursed his lips, thinking in his heart: Mo Fei has shown too much of himself. Though Yan Chen was only kidding, others might have already put the cultivation formation stuff on Mo Fei’s head.
Looking at the list, Lou Yu slightly frowned.
Then Lou Feng came. On seeing Lou Yu, he said with a fake smile, “Lou Yu, it seems you are not surprised at the result at all!”
Lou Yu gave a faint smile and said, “It’s just his sheer luck.”
“Six potions! Failed none! How lucky could one be to have achieved that?” Some kind of cold smile flashed in Lou Feng’s eyes.
Lou Yu pursed his lips and didn’t respond.
Lou Feng clenched his fists tightly. Suddenly a grin crawled into his face, and he then looked over to Lou Yu, “Lou Yu, due to your undue haste in cultivation, you got hidden wounds. But now you’re totally recovered. You should really thank your wife.”
Lou Yu was a bit stunned. Now Feng Yu was wearing that smile, but deep in his eyes, there was dense hostility he could not hide.
Lou Yu gave Lou Feng a faint look, “Brother, you must be kidding. It was just some small wounds, and it’s already healed itself. What does it have anything to do with Mo Fei?”
Lou Feng smiled to wave his words aside. Looking at Lou Feng’s meaningful smile, Lou Yu really had a spur to kill him.
Looking at everyone’s scores on the list, Mo Fei was a bit suspicious.
Nalan Tianwu glared at Mo Fei bitterly, like Mo Fei was her sworn enemy or what.
Looking at the crowd’s doubtful expression, Mo Fei felt embarrassed and couldn’t help scratching his head.
Lou Yu grasped Mo Fei’s hand, “Since it’s over, let’s go home.”
Noticing Lou Yu not in the mood, Mo Fei didn’t argue with him but directly went away.
Looking at Mo Fei, Lin Feiyu’s doubt grew stronger, “Mo Fei, who did you learn your pharmacy from? Even Nalan Tianwu is not your rival. Your teacher should be grandmaster.”
Mo Fei smiled, “I don’t have a teacher. I am just born talented, gifted, smart as a whip, as sharp as a tack, so I could have refined so many potions.”
“Mo Fei, you must be kidding. During the competition, you wrote four prescriptions even the level eight pharmacists are not sure whether they are feasible or not and finally split the difference and give you eight scores, you know.” said Lin Feiyu disapprovingly.
Mo Fei got shocked, “How did you know about the score thing?”
Lin Feiyu smiled awkwardly, “I also heard it from someone else.”
Mo Fei said thoughtfully, “So that’s the case.”
After Mo Fei went back home, he directly headed for the lab. Sitting in the lab, Mo Fei looked a bit distracted.
“Come on! How did I run the first place? I was at the second place in the first round!” said Mo Fei grumpily while scratching his head.
Lou Yu said helplessly, “In the first round, some judges couldn’t decide the feasibility of your prescriptions, and they only agreed to give you eight scores under Wu Gouyue’s insistence. And in the second round after you refined all the six potions successfully, the judges made up the scores they didn’t give you in the first round.”
