nXu Xiaoshou turned his head and looked at Mu Zixi.

nThe little girl shot him an encouraging expression in her eyes. She then clenched her fist and gave a thumbs-up.

n“Hey.”

n

n

nXu Xiaoshou asked with a smile, “Master President, do you still not believe me?”

n“Yes, I believe you.”

nShi Ti nodded his head deeply. Xu Xiaoshou felt relieved.

n“To be honest, with just this magic pill and the assurance from Yun He, I can give you the magic pill technician badge on the spot.”

n

n

nXu Xiaoshou was silent and looked at the old president with a smile, knowing that there would be a catch.

n“But…”

nThe old president stroked his beard and grabbed a handful of black material. He sighed and said, “This old man wants to see you make the magic pill one more time.”

nThe onlookers nodded frantically, thinking that seeing was believing but hearing was not.

nEven though Yun He had sworn that he saw the process with his own eyes, they still couldn’t believe that a magic pill had survived the extraordinary blast.

nXu Xiaoshou waved his hand with a smile.

n

n

n“There is no need to redo it.”

n“Since Master President has said that you believe me and are going to give me the magic pill technician badge, why would I do such an unnecessary thing?”

nShi Ti was speechless.

nCursed, Passive Point, 1.

nThe crowd was in awe.

n‘There is nothing wrong with his brain,’ the crowd thought.

nAdmired, Passive Points, 36.

nShi Ti’s anger was stirred up again. He opened his mouth and was on the verge of roaring again.

n

n

nXu Xiaoshou hastened to interrupt him. “Master President misunderstood me. I didn’t mean what you think I meant.”

n“Now that you are planning to give me the badge, I won’t turn down your request.”

n“I’ll take the exam for the tenth-grade badge first, and later I’ll take the exam for the ninth grade.”

nHe waved his hand carelessly, but everyone was stunned by what he had just said.

n“Taking consecutive exams?”

nSuspected, Passive Points, 36.

nShi Ti paused in anger, raising his eyebrows high.

nHe had previously thought that Mu Zixi had the possibility of taking the exams consecutively, but it was merely speculation.

nIt was one matter if one could take the exam. It was another matter if one could pass the exams.

nYet where did this Xu Xiaoshou get his confidence from?

n‘You are merely a shield for Mu Zixi and someone blocking the lines of sights of the others, but you start to think that you are a disciple of Old Man Sang.’

n‘With only a method of making the magic pills, do you think that you can conquer the entire Pill Pagoda?’

nXu Xiaoshou smiled lightly and said, “President, you don’t believe me again.”

n

n

nShi Ti was again speechless.

nCursed, Passive Point, 1.

nEveryone was amused by his words.

nAs onlookers, after they calmed down a little, they realized for the first time that this lad seemed to have a good temperament.

nEven though he was misunderstood by the crowd, and even though he was roared at by President Shi Ti, he still behaved carelessly as if nothing had happened. It seemed that nothing in the world could affect his emotions.

nOn the contrary, the crowd’s behavior…

nAll of them felt surprised when the lad said something so casually and grew outraged.

nPresident Shi Ti was the worst of them all, even though he was usually as calm and steady as a mountain.

nShi Ti showed a sullen expression on his face.

nIt was true that he didn’t believe this lad had achieved such a feat already.

n“It’s not important whether I believe you or not at the moment. If you can make a stove of magic pills in front of our eyes, I’ll believe you are indeed capable!”

nYun He rolled his eyes undetected, thinking that the truth was that Shi Ti didn’t believe his words.

nXu Xiaoshou felt amused and said with a smile, “Okay, but you give me the badge first.”

n“I can’t give the badge to you for the time being, but you can make the magic pills according to your own plan. If you can really make the ninth-grade pills…”

nXu Xiaoshou shouted excitedly, “Is President Shi Ti is going to place a bet with me and give me a reward?”

nShi Ti paused.

n‘I don’t think I said it that way,’ he thought.

nHe gritted his teeth and had almost spoken the hysterical words in his heart.

nXu Xiaoshou felt sad and commented, “Alas, it is true that one who is not envied by others is a mediocre talent!”

n“It is apparent that I’ve made the Red Gold Pill, and Elder Yun He has confirmed it. However, no one is willing to believe me.”

n“Is it true that the life of a genius must be lonely?”

n“What about my peers? Do you guys believe me?”

nEveryone was dumbfounded.

nThey wondered why Xu Xiaoshou spoke the words that should have been kept in his mind. Why was he so shameless?

nMu Zixi clenched her fist at the side and said, “Xu Xiaoshou, I believe you.”

nEveryone glanced at her sideways. The little girl flushed and hid behind Shi Ti.

n“Go, Xu Xiaoshou, go.”

nThis abrupt cheering sound was even more surprising.

nThe crowd looked in the direction of the sound.

nWas the speaker Fu Xing?

nFu Yinhong stared at him with her pretty eyes. “Why are you getting involved!”

nFu Xing replied, “I believe Xu Xiaoshou. I believe my big brother!”

nFu Yinhong was dumbfounded.

nShi Ti let out a sigh of relief and realized that he had no choice but to say something.

nHe thought that it would be hard to save face if what Xu Xiaoshou said was true, even if it was just a slim chance.

nHe said slowly, “If you can really succeed in making the ninth-grade pills, I will let you choose a condition.”

nEveryone was surprised to hear that.

nWhy has he promised a condition so easily?

nThe envious expressions were apparent in the eyes of the crowd. Yet they wondered when Master President had become so casual and easy to give in.

nHowever, when the crowd mulled it over, they realized that what Shi Ti said and did was a bit too outrageous if Xu Xiaoshou could actually do it.

nIn comparison, a promise was worth saving the president’s face.

nXu Xiaoshou looked exuberant.

nAlthough Shi Ti and Elder Sang had a close relationship, it was obviously not a reason for him to do whatever he wanted. On the other hand, if he could win the condition, the situation would be quite different.

n‘As a result, I will have a backer in Tiansang City!’

n‘As long as I don’t cash out the promise, who dares to touch me?’

nHe immediately replied, “Does Master President mean that I can choose any condition?”

nShi Ti replied with a sneer, “The premise is that you can make the magic pill!”

nXu Xiaoshou thought, ‘It’s not so difficult to achieve it.’

nHe had made ninth-grade spiritual pills back in the Spirit Palace a long time ago, and he had many of them in the ring at the moment.

nAlthough he didn’t have enough spiritual liquids, and some of the pills still looked scorched and black, they were nevertheless finished magic pills.

n‘It looks like I can win his promise with ease.’

nThinking of this, Xu Xiaoshou asked again, “If I have made a ninth-grade magic pill, will Master President promise me one condition?”

n“What if I can make an eighth-grade magic pill?”

nThere was a hint of longing in his eyes.

nEveryone was dumbfounded.

nThis lad…

nThey had thought that he had a good temperament not long ago, but it didn’t take long for him to reveal his original nature.

nHe had many bad qualities, such as speaking nonsense, being overly ambitious, and causing destruction everywhere.

nShi Ti was so upset that he actually felt amused. He said, “You speak without thinking it over. How can you boast about making eighth-grade magic pills?”

n“How dare you say that!”

nXu Xiaoshou frowned as he said, “Master President, you don’t believe me again.”

n“Could you recall carefully if I spoke without thinking? Which part of my words were false?”

nShi Ti didn’t reply.

nHe had no intention of talking at the moment.

nHe didn’t want to recall the destruction of the Pill Pagoda. He had no intention to do so at all.

nXu Xiaoshou said with a sigh, “You have always thought that I couldn’t do this or that, but every time, something unexpected happened.”

n“What if…”

n“What if I can do it again this time?”

n“Ha-ha-ha!” Shi Ti laughed while tilting his head upward. He could no longer tolerate the boasting words of the lad. He spoke in a cold tone.

n“If you can really make an eighth-grade magic pill, I will take you in as my disciple, all right?”

n
