Probably because Ye Fan acted too confidently, many people who participated in the trials felt disgusted by him.
But this is the territory of Yaoxiang Pavilion, after all. If they want to get involved or remain in the alchemy industry of Nanzhou, they can’t afford to offend Yaoxiang Pavilion.
Therefore, even if they looked down on Ye Fan, who looked like a clueless idiot, most of them just stood aside silently, waiting for the examiner to call their own number plate.
But there are always some people who are arranged by Heavenly Dao to be born just to allow a son of fortune to pretend and slap others in the face.
A young man who looked far more handsome than Ye Fan stepped forward, glanced at Ye Fan contemptuously, and said with a sneer, “Hey, boy, are you here to participate in the alchemist selection contest in such tattered clothes?”
Ye Fan glared at him coldly, and asked indifferently, “Is there any problem?”
The young man laughed exaggeratedly, “Heavens! Are you really here to participate in the alchemist selection competition? With your attire and with how you look, were you robbed by bandits on the road? If so, then let this young master be kind and reward you with a few pennies so you can hurry up to buy a set of clothes that can be worn from the market! This is the Yaoxiang Pavilion, and it’s not a place where beggars can come in!”
Ye Fan has been continuously hunted down for a month now. Even if he brought a few sets of clothes in his storage ring, he had already run out of them now.
In addition, he had just killed a few people a few hours ago, so the clothes on his body were inevitably torn by their weapons.
To say that he is shabby is already flattering him, and it’s no wonder he was ridiculed as a beggar.Ye Fan was furious in his heart, but his face was as cold as frost. He said coldly, “Thank you for your kindness, but I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business!”
But the young man pretended to sigh and said, “Oh, it’s rare for this young master to do a good deed, yet he was despised by others! What a shame!”
Ye Fan remained silent.
Seeing that Ye Fan didn’t speak, the young man thought the other party was afraid of him, so he patted Ye Fan’s shoulder with a smile and said, “Little brother, are you really here to participate in the alchemy selection contest? I’m sorry to say that with your outfit, I’m afraid you’ll be kicked out without being able to even see the chief examiner!”
Ye Fan shook off the young man’s hand impatiently, and said displeasedly, “Even so, what does it have to do with you?”
The young man smiled and said, “Little brother, it’s not that I’m looking down on you. Not everyone can participate in the alchemist selection of Yaoxiang Pavilion. You are young, and you probably haven’t read a few alchemist or medical books. It’s better to go back and study for a few more years. I estimate that after twenty years, you will almost reach the threshold for participating in the selection competition.”
Ye Fan gave him a squinting look, and suddenly said, “You say I’m not worthy to participate in the trials? If that’s the case, let’s make a bet, how about it?”
When the young man heard this, he immediately became interested, “What bet?”
“Just bet on the result of this trial. If I rank higher than you, then you will give me the jade pendant around your neck.”
The jade pendant hanging around the young man’s neck is not an ordinary thing.
In the eyes of the old man, he could tell at a glance that there was a great opportunity in this jade pendant.
As for what it is, the old man is still not sure, so he can only tell Ye Fan that if he has a chance, he must get this jade pendant.
Although the young man was wearing this jade pendant, he didn’t know the origin of this jade pendant, he just felt that wearing it on his body had the effect of calming the mind.
As for its value, he didn’t think it was that high.
Therefore, after the young man heard the words, he took off the jade pendant from his neck and said with a smile, “If I lose, this jade pendant will be yours. But what if you lose? What?”
Ye Fan said without hesitation, “If I lose, I will kneel down for you in public and call you grandpa three times.”
When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up.
This is so much fun!
Under normal circumstances, few people take pleasure in humiliating a stranger.
Although the young man likes to act domineering, he still has some learning and morals, so he would never embarrass an ordinary person.
But for some reason, when he saw Ye Fan for the first time, he had the urge to humiliate Ye Fan.
The bet proposed by Ye Fan is undoubtedly the best way to humiliate him.
He nodded without hesitation and said, “That’s a deal!”
“It’s a deal!” Ye Fan said coldly.
At this time, there was the sound of a gong being beaten in the Yaoxiang Pavilion.
A loud voice came from nowhere and shouted.
“The Yaoxiang Pavilion’s alchemist selection contest has officially started! Candidates, please get ready!”
