"Why?" Hua Ruge could not help but ask.
"I heard that back then, he wasn't satisfied with his pill. Now that he's here, he definitely has the confidence to participate." The middle-aged man said again.
Hua Ruge nodded, thinking that this girl was quite calm.
Someone from the other side said, "The Mu family has always been the alchemist used by the Da Yu royal family, and Mu Qingyan is the number one genius.
"Yeah, if we knew that she would be participating this year, we wouldn't have lost face even if we didn't come."
A group of forty year old aunties were discussing. They felt embarrassed after losing to a twenty-three-year-old girl.
The head of the Danyang Peak glanced at Mu Qingyan and asked, "Name?"
"Disciple Mu Qingyan." Mu Qingyan opened her mouth, her voice was clear and bright, like the wind that blew through everyone.
"Purity of 90%, spirituality of 50%." The leader looked at the medicinal pellets on the tray and commented. Then, he nodded and said, "As expected of the descendants of the Da Yu Mu Family. Very good."
Mu Qingyan said in a voice that was neither humble nor haughty: "Thank you for your praise, Qing Yan, you are simply putting on an act."
"Stand beside me." The Head of the Guards spoke indifferently and closed his eyes again.
Mu Qingyan replied and stood to the side.
Everyone knew that the leader was giving the remaining players a chance. If there were no accidents, then it was basically decided.
Thus, everyone brought their pills forward. Without exception, the head of the group did not say a word.
Everyone walked down and stood at the two sides of the great hall, leaving only Hua Ruge behind. She walked up with large strides, and just as she was about to speak, she discovered that Mu Qingyan was looking at her.
Hua Ruge also looked over. She was a beauty, different from Bei Chenyue's gentleness, her appearance was very heroic, her eyes were cold, her temperament was cold and arrogant but not aggressive. She looked like a person who had left the world and became independent.
Mu Qingyan looked at her with indifferent eyes, but when he saw the pill in her hand, his pupils shrank imperceptibly.
At the same time, the Head of the Guards also fiercely opened his eyes and stared at the pellet on Hua Ruge's tray.
The reactions of the two people surprised Hua Ruge, and he thought to himself that he had not introduced them yet.
Even if it was an introduction, this was only a Seventh Rank pill, it still could not compare to Mu Qingyan's Eighth Rank.
"Purity of 100%, spirituality of 60%." The first seat spoke as he squinted his eyes and looked at Hua Ruge.
As Hua Ruge looked at his fiery gaze, he seemed to sense something in his heart. As a result, he restrained his expression and the light in his eyes became indifferent.
The crowd below also burst into an uproar when they heard the results. This was because they had all heard of someone who could refine a 100% purity medicinal pill without any impurities.
Even with extremely powerful pill forging techniques, a superior pill furnace and rare flames would only be able to achieve such purity.
Otherwise, everyone would not think that Mu Qingyan was an expert.
The Head of the Guards and Hua Ruge looked at each other, and when they saw the badge representing strength on her chest, they raised their eyebrows and asked: "What's your name?"
"Disciple Hua Ruge." Hua Ruge replied fluently.
The onlookers felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. Normally, the seat of honor wouldn't open its eyes. Now that it had opened them twice, it meant that Ming liked these two girls very much.
One was a genius from a large clan while the other was an unknown nobody.
Who would he choose?
The majority of the people in the next round felt that the first seat would be Mu Qingyan, because Mu Qingyan was a high ranked pill after all, and was relatively strong as well.
The Head of the Guards narrowed his eyes. He didn't say anything, and the entire hall quieted down.
There was already a head servant waiting below. Seeing the situation, he nimbly said: "Congratulations First Lord, you have received two great disciples in succession."
Everyone reacted the moment they heard this. The best thing to do at this moment was to accept two people at the same time. This way, they wouldn't miss out on a talent.
At this time, the head seat's voice sank as he said, "Who said I want to take two people?"
That head had thought that he had come up with a good idea, but he didn't expect the head of the group would have such an attitude, hence he kept admitting his mistakes.
After the leader said this, he looked at Hua Ruge and asked: "Are you willing to take me as your master?"
He did not experience any internal struggles. The grade of the medicinal pellet could be increased, but no one could compare to Hua Ruge's purity.
Furthermore, she was so young, there was a lot of room for her to grow up.
Hua Ruge was startled, she did not expect it to be so sudden, but she did not hesitate either, after hearing what he said, she handed the tray in her hand to the Fellow, then lifted up her clothes and knelt down towards the seat of honor, saying: "Disciple Hua Ruge greets the First Master."
Everyone originally thought that the head disciple of Danyang Peak would be Mu Qingyan, even if an exception were to appear, it would only be one more Hua Ruge.
Appreciation could be seen in the Head's thin eyes as he nodded and said, "Disciple, please rise."
Hua Ruge stood up, her heart was filled with joy, but she did not express it.
The Mu Qingyan right now was probably the most awkward person present, but not a single bit of awkwardness or vexation could be seen on her face.
She glanced at Hua Ruge, then turned her eyes indifferently and slightly bowed towards the seat of honor, before leaving.
When she walked past Hua Ruge, she stopped in her tracks and spat out two words without the slightest fluctuation in her voice, "I submit."
Hua Ruge was a little surprised, and before she could even speak, she had already left.
To be able to admit his failure in front of so many people, he must be extremely scheming, or he must be truly magnanimous.
Hua Ruge's intuition was the latter.
The people in the hall nodded and praised, "As expected of the descendants of the Mu family. Everyone is magnanimous."
Of course, most of them were congratulating the head seat and Hua Ruge.
There had only been one disciple in this bloodline when the time came for Gu Mo to become the head. It had taken him over ten years to choose one.
And the disciples of the five peaks directly received the inheritance from the Peak Master, and were even more precious and valuable than the core disciples. In the future, they would be the pillars of the academy, and the respect they received would naturally be proportional to their status.
Gu Mo stood up and walked out of the hall dragging his wide robes behind him.
Outside, the red-clothed Master Matter and Penetrating Sea were still waiting.
When the two saw the head of the table, they both stood up and bowed, "Greetings First Lord."
Gu Mo acted as if he did not see them, and walked straight ahead.
Both of them knew the temper of the Danyang Peak Lord so they did not make a sound.
When he saw Hua Ruge, his Penetrating Sea pointed as he said, "Master Matter, she's coming out."
Hua Ruge also calmly smiled towards Master Matter: "Thank you, Master Matter, for giving me this opportunity. This disciple will follow you to the Law Enforcement Hall."
Now that she had become the head disciple of Danyang Peak, she knew just how precious she was. Even if she did something wrong, it would be impossible to expel her from the Academy.
Master Matter recovered his stern look and frowned: "Let's go."
Gu Mo walked a few steps back and turned his head around. His withered face was expressionless as he looked at Hua Ruge with suspicion.
Hua Ruge knew that this was his backer, so he went forward and explained the whole story. Gu Mo listened silently.
Master Matter and Penetrating Sea felt a chill down their spines, their minds filled with the words Hua Ruge had just shouted, "Master!"
"Of course, we should go to the Disciplinary Committee. As the leader, I can't side with you. When you get there, tell the truth. If you are in the wrong, then receive your punishment." After Gu Mo heard this, he turned to Hua Ruge and said.
Hua Ruge agreed.
Master Matter and Penetrating Sea let out a sigh of relief when they heard this, and at least the head didn't blame them.
At this moment, Gu Mo took out a black jade pendant from the spatial space and handed it over to her: "This is my Danyang Peak Peak Master's keepsake. From now on, you will carry it with you and act on your master's behalf."
