Chapter 301: Is There Still Justice!

“Alright, you may question me . ” Lou Qianxue withdrew her gaze . She then calmly and seriously looked at Master Huo .

Master Huo also became solemn in an instant . “Alright, then I’ll ask you . When the refining of a pill fails, and the pill is about to get burned, how many countermeasures can an ordinary alchemist use?”

Lou Qianxue frowned and started to ponder the answer .

Master Huo sneered . “What can you, an alchemist who hasn’t even registered your identity, know about it? I picked the simplest question to ask you, yet you don’t know the answer . And you have the cheek to compete in an alchemy knowledge battle with me? Little girl, looks like you’re destined to become my drug slave . ”

Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and looked at him . “How do you know that I’m unable to answer you?”

“Then you tell me, how many types are there?”

“It’s not easy to give an answer . The simplest question is usually also the most difficult . I’m actually more curious about your answer than my own answer, Master Huo . I wonder how many countermeasures you have?”

“Are you admitting defeat now? Humph, which alchemist doesn’t know that they have five countermeasures in case a pill is about to get burned . Little girl, do you understand now? This is the difference between an alchemist who takes the wild path, and an alchemist who has a master . By groping around on your own, you can never compare to an alchemist who has the guidance of a master . How about it? Do you now regret rejecting to become my disciple?”

“I don’t . ” Lou Qianxue smiled as she shook her head . “Master Huo, tell me, if I can mention six countermeasures, will I be considered to have won this round?”

“Six?” Master Huo froze . He only came back to his senses after a while . With a cold smile, he then said, “Are you raving nonsense? Before a pill gets burned, only five countermeasures have always been in use . How is it possible for a sixth one to exist?”

“Then let me tell you . ” Lou Qianxue smiled and started to talk about the countermeasures without delay .

After she talked about the six countermeasures, she still didn’t stop . “As for the seventh countermeasure, it should be… Oh, right! I nearly forgot . I can stop at six types . How is it, Master Huo? Do you think that the six countermeasures that I’ve mentioned are reasonable?”

Master Huo stared at Lou Qianxue until both his eyes became round . He became dumbfounded, and he couldn’t believe what he had just heard .

“Master Huo?” Lou Qianxue called again .

After Master Huo came back to his senses, he sucked in a cold breath of air . “Little girl, tell me truthfully, is there an impressive master behind you? How skilled is your master in alchemy? Is he a sixth-grade alchemist? Or seventh-grade?”

Lou Qianxue shook her head . “That’s beside the point . I’m only asking you if I’ve correctly answered the question just now?”

A bitter smile appeared on Master Huo’s aged face . “Yes . Of course, your answer is correct . Out of the six methods you’ve mentioned, I’ve never heard of three of them . However, I just can’t think of any reason to refute them . Little girl, tell me honestly, how many methods do you know in all?”

Lou Qianxue slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes . “It seems to be my turn to question . ”

“…”

Half an hour passed by very quickly .

Lou Qianxue’s exquisite face remained as calm as always . No matter what the question was, she confidently answered them with ease .

However, Master Huo’s face became pale and pale as his sweat profusely flowed .

He pulled a long face, and he couldn’t stop wiping the sweat on his forehead as he kept muttering something .

“For this question, it should be… No, it shouldn’t be like this . It should be like that . No no no, it’s also not correct…”

Finally…

Like a defeated chicken, he slouched his shoulders and became dejected . Feeling extremely perplexed, he looked at Lou Qianxue, sighed, and said, “Forget it . I admit defeat . Tell me the answer . ”

After Lou Qianxue told him the answer, he suppressed the bitterness in his heart and mocked himself while being convinced . “I, a dignified fourth-grade alchemist, have become speechless in front of the questions asked by you, a little girl who has yet to register her identity as an alchemist… If this matter were to be known, I’m afraid no one will believe it . But this is the truth . Do you think there is still justice in this world!”

It was a funny situation . Master Huo kept shamelessly bragging earlier to make this little girl become his disciple . However, with this little girl’s standard, she was more than qualified to be his master instead .
