“Expelled?”
Sister Qi frowned when she heard this. She had wanted to protect the little kitten and let it stay in the shop. She might be able to refine even more powerful pills.
Even if it could only refine the Moistening Water Pill, as the boss, she would be able to gain a lot of benefits and receive a lot of shares.
However, this apprentice called Niu Yanan actually said that she should expel Qin Yue. If Sister Qi did that, as the boss, she could not receive any commission. This was simply insane.
One had to know that this Niu Yanan’s aptitude for Alchemy was very poor. She would never be able to reach the level of the kitten’s pill refinement. If it was not for Niu Yanan’s ability to suck up to people and flatter them, Sister Qi would not have kept her.
However, Niu Yanan actually clamored for Qin Yue to be expelled, which meant that she wanted Sister Qi to chase away an Alchemist. This was simply courting death. Therefore, Sister Qi’s brows were tightly knitted, and she was very unhappy.
“Sister Qi, I suggest that you expel Qin Yue. This kind of apprentice who does not listen to your orders must be expelled. Otherwise, she will take an inch and take a mile…”
“A person like her did not know how to respect her teacher at all, and her aptitude for Alchemy is poor. She was not suitable to be an alchemist at all. Even if she had gotten the exam questions right earlier, it could also be cheating…”
Niu Yanan saw Sister Qi frown and thought that she was going to expel Qin Yue. She immediately rambled on and on, saying that Qin Yue was not good and that she must expel Qin Yue.
These words made Sister Qi angrier and angrier. She shouted, “Shut up! You’re fired. You can scram now!”
“Did you hear that, Qin Yue? You’re fired. You can scram now.” Niu Yanan immediately said to Qin Yue when she heard Sister Qi’s words.
Smack!
A loud slap suddenly sounded. Sister Qi slapped Niu Yanan’s face, leaving a red palm print.
“Sister Qi, you… Why did you hit me? You hit the wrong person!” Niu Yanan said blankly.
“I hit you. Get lost! You’re fired,” Qi Jie said loudly.
“Huh? I’m fired? Why? wasn’t it Qin Yue who was fired?” Niu Yanan was stunned. Her brain was buzzing as she was in a daze.
The people around also fell into a daze. They all looked at Sister Qi in confusion.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not understand. The one who should be fired was clearly Qin Yue. How did it turn into Niu Yanan in the blink of an eye? This made everyone confused. Their minds were a little muddled.
After a long while, everyone finally reacted. One of the disciples could not help but say, “Sister Qi, it was Qin Yue who occupied the alchemy room, not Niu Yanan.”
“Shut up! Do I need you to say anything else? Niu Yanan, hurry up and scram. I don’t want to repeat myself!”
Sister Qi berated angrily. She could recruit as many ordinary apprentices as she wanted, but Qin Yue’s kitten was unique. If she chased Niu Yanan away and won the kitten’s favor, Sister Qi was willing to fire ten thousand apprentices.
Therefore, her expression was very cold as she stared straight at Niu Yanan.
“I… I understand. I’ll leave immediately.” Niu Yanan thought of the power behind Sister Qi and hurriedly apologized. However, her mind was still buzzing, and she could not figure out what was going on.
The people around her were also confused. Even Qin Yue and Song Xiaomei looked dazed, as if they were in a dream.
Only the kitten was lying on Qin Yue’s shoulder, yawning lazily, as if it had nothing to do with it.
“Okay, in the future, Qin Yue can use the Alchemy Room as she pleases. In addition, Qin Yue will officially become my disciple. Oh, and Xiaomei too.”
Sister Qi announced without hesitation that she would accept Qin Yue and Song Xiaomei as disciples.
This result left Qin Yue and Song Xiaomei dumbfounded, and their little heads were even more confused.
As for the remaining apprentices, they all frowned and carefully recalled what had happened, trying to figure out what was going on.
However, no matter how much they thought about it, they still could not figure out what was going on. They felt that the way they went out today was a bit wrong.
“Alright, go and do your work. Qin Yue, you can watch me refine pills anytime in the future. This book is for you. Read it more…”
“In the future, if you can refine pills, just give them to me. I’ll help you sell them. The price will be even higher.”
Sister Qi smiled like a flower as she looked at Qin Yue. She slowly took out an Alchemy book and placed it in Qin Yue’s little hand. Her attitude was simply too good.
“Thank… Thank you, Sister Qi.”Qin Yue thanked her dumbly.
“Good girl. Work hard. These five Giant Flowers are for you.”
Sister Qi took the five flowers from the counter and handed the Giant Flowers that cost 100,000 yuan to Qin Yue. She gave them to her directly.
This scene made everyone even more confused. Some people even suspected that Qin Yue was Sister Qi’s illegitimate daughter.
“This… This is too valuable. I can’t accept it,” Qin Yue said in a panic.
“Meow!”
Li Xuan cried out. He waved his small claws and pulled the five flowers into his arms. Then, he quickly ate them.
Qin Yue was stunned by this scene. She could not say anything else.
“Alright, work harder in the future to repay me. I have something to do today, so I’ll leave the shop first.”
Sister Qi smiled and raised her hand to rub the kitten’s head. Then, she turned around and left the shop.
Only the dazed crowd and a kitten that was eating a Giant Flower were left.
The kitten quickly ate five Giant Flowers that cost 100,000 yuan each. 500,000 yuan gone in an instant, and the kitten ate them all.
“Meow~”
The kitten meowed, and its body felt warm. It gradually closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Qin Yue carefully held the kitten in her arms, worried about the kitten’s condition.
“Yueyue, put the kitten in the dormitory. It ate such a powerful Giant Flower, so it must need time to absorb it. It’s better to let it rest comfortably,” Song Xiaomei suggested.
“Okay, then I’ll go to the dormitory.” Qin Yue hurriedly nodded.
“I’ll go with you. Tell me what happened just now while you’re at it.”
…
The two of them left quickly, leaving the crowd to look at each other. They could not figure out what had happened that day.
One of the girls, Mengmeng, found an excuse and walked out of the shop. She went to a corner of a dark alley.
There, a strong man was sitting in the alley with a two-meter-long white snake and eating.
This person was none other than the captain of the Law Enforcement Team, Tie Hu, and his summoned Beast, Lightning Snake.
He had never let go of that matter and often came to investigate Qin Xue’s situation.
“Uncle Tie Hu, something strange happened to Qin Yue, whom you asked me to monitor today…”
Mengmeng walked into the alley and quickly recounted what happened not long ago, telling the whole story.
Tie Hu was originally eating. After all, there had been no clues for so long, and he almost wanted to give up. However, as he listened, he felt that something was wrong.
“You’re saying that Sister Qi changed her attitude for no reason and treated Qin Yue very well. She even sent gave Qin Yue Giant Flowers that are worth 500,000 yuan?” Tie Hu said.
“Yes, she even accepted Qin Yue as her disciple, and Song Xiaomei also became her disciple. I keep feeling that Song Xiaomei has benefited from Qin Yue, but I can’t figure out why.”
Mengmeng continued to explain, but she could not figure out the reason.
“You continue to pay attention to Qin Yue. If there’s anything, tell me immediately,” Tie Hu said solemnly.
“Okay, Uncle Tie Hu, I’ll be leaving first. Goodbye.”
Mengmeng skipped away, leaving only Tie Hu in the alley, frowning and thinking. He could not figure out why.
“I don’t have time to think. I’ll go patrol first. Recently, the city has become more and more chaotic.”
Tie Hu sighed and swallowed the last bun. Then, he choked and drank several mouthfuls of water before swallowing.
“F*ck, I almost choked to death.”
Tie Hu left the small alley gloomily and headed in the direction of the city gate.
It had been very unsafe recently, especially since there had been several murders at the city gate. He had to be careful.
However…
Not long after he left, a one-eyed man with a Mad Lion Beast Summoning Beast suddenly passed by him and walked further and further away.
The moment Tie Hu saw this person, his expression tensed.
“Black Iron Rank expert, and one who’s already at the park! He’s a level stronger than me. Wait, this appearance, it’s him! Alchemist Wang Hao’s older brother, Wang Jun!”
Tie Hu’s expression finally changed and became very serious.
At that time, Alchemist Wang Hao refined people into puppets and was caught by them secretly. After that, he was interrogated severely.
They learned that he had an older brother named Wang Jun, who was very caring and doted on him.
At that time, the Law Enforcement Team was nervous for a while and prepared themselves.
Unfortunately, Wang Jun did not come. Everyone thought that Wang Jun did not dare to come, but this guy actually appeared.
“That’s not right. Isn’t the direction he went in the medicinal herb store? Not good, he wants to take revenge on Qin Yue!”
Tie Hu was shocked, hurriedly took out his cell phone to contact the headquarters for help, and then turned around to chase after him.
