Chapter 484: Chapter 483: There’s a Problem with the Competition_1

"The competition was nearing its end, but Qi Aotian had yet to return from the restroom.

This made Yan Ling frown.

"Did this guy fall into the toilet?"

Xiao Yun glanced at the time and said, "Should I go look for him?"

The rules of the competition stipulated that each team member had to participate in the potion-making process. If Qi Aotian was absent, it could lead to a deduction in points for their team!

"Here he is...."

Yan Ling was about to pour the potion out of the medicine jar when she saw Qi Aotian approach them, looking strange.

Seemingly oblivious to Qi Aotian’s odd demeanor, Yan Ling instructed him.

"Qi Aotian, we’re about to undertake the final step: the purification of the medicine! I’ll need your cooperation for this step."

She had initially thought that Qi Aotian would refuse to cooperate.

But to her surprise, he merely watched her in silence for a moment, then obediently fetched the instruments needed for the purification process.

His earnest cooperation was unexpected indeed!

Xiao Yun quietly warned Yan Ling, "Be careful later. Don’t give him the chance to sabotage the medicine."

Although he had only participated in a pharmacist competition once, he had learned much about the corruption and underhanded tactics involved.

Frankly, had he not known that Yan Ling would be competing, he wouldn’t have bothered to participate in this kind of competition!

"Alright, I know what to do!"

Yan Ling nodded. She knew that something must have happened to Qi Aotian when he went to the restroom.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so distracted.

Despite knowing he could have ulterior motives, she decided to give him a chance.

If he seized this opportunity, then she would lead him to victory. If he squandered it, she wouldn’t be to blame for it....

While Yan Ling was busy calculating the refining formula, she casually said to Qi Aotian, "Qi Aotian, can you help me pour these medicines into this test tube in the ratio I provided?"

Qi Aotian didn’t respond. He stared at the complicated formula, torn between choices.

Someone had promised him that if he added that packet of powder in his hand to the test tube, he would have the chance to participate in the competition again next year!

But doing so would surely cost them the competition this year!

Should he give up this year and wait for the next?

Or should he trust the woman standing before him and take a gamble....?

He was terribly indecisive!

"What are you standing there for? The competition is nearly over. Hurry up!"

Redirected by Yan Ling’s urging, Qi Aotian finally got moving.

He stooped to fetch the medicine jar. From this angle, nobody could see his actions.

Not far off, Colonel Daimoto prematurely announced the completion of his potion refining.

The henchman scuttled over to Colonel Daimoto, eager for approval. "Colonel, it’s all taken care of! Let’s just wait and see that woman blow up her own face with her potion!"

Colonel Daimoto glanced at Yan Ling’s beautiful face, his tone laced with regret. "It’s a pity to ruin such a face! If she hadn’t been so arrogant as to plot with Mr. Jin Xiang against me, I might have shown her some mercy. But since she stubbornly sought to corrupt Mr. Jin Xiang and steal my championship, I have no choice but to be ruthless...."

"Absolutely, Colonel. Such a woman needs to be shown her place!"

As the henchman flattered his master, he harbored wicked thoughts.

Even if her face was ruined, her figure was still fine!

A woman is just a woman in the end, all the same when the lights are off.

After the competition, he planned to discreetly kidnap her.

Then, she would have no choice but to submit to his will!
