I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

But Yueying didn’t see what happened afterwards because she was talking to Chi Zhaonian.

"Can you measure spiritual roots with your naked eyes?"

Chi Zhaonian asked in a low voice.

"Well, envy me, talent!"

Yueying replied proudly and took a bite of the snack on the table.

"Ying'er is really powerful."

After being together for a few days, Chi Zhaonian's way of addressing Yueying changed from Yueying's sister to Yueying, and then to Ying'er. Yueying herself didn't really care about it, but Gu Jiangshan frowned as he listened.

"Then... do you feel sorry for that girl?"

Yueying's eyes were teasing and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. As expected, she could not escape the law of the heroine's true fragrance.

"There are still many ordinary people in this world who have no spiritual roots."

Chi Zhaonian picked up the spareribs that Yueying liked to eat, put them in the bowl in front of her, and answered seriously.

Gu Qingcheng was biting a chicken leg while nodding in agreement.

"But she has spiritual roots. As long as she has the marrow cleansing pill, she can become a single spiritual root."

Yueying deliberately continued the conversation tentatively.

"No wonder."

"What's so surprising?"

"I'm afraid that the senior disciple of Xianyang Sect will be entangled by her."

Yueying was shocked to hear Chi Zhaonian's conclusion.

She never expected that Chi Zhaonian would make such sober remarks. Not only was the male protagonist not really fragrant, but it was the truth.

"Mr. Chi."

The two were whispering quietly when an old man's voice suddenly interrupted them, startling Yueying and causing her to look up.

"Hello, Mr. Fang. Ying'er, this is the head of the Fang family, Mr. Fang Minghao. Mr. Fang, this is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Yueying."

Chi Zhaonian stood up and greeted the old gentleman.

"Yueying has met Mr. Fang."

"Oh, I saw you when I was a child. Girls change a lot when they grow up. You are so beautiful that I can't recognize you now. Hahaha."

"Fang Laomiao praised it."

Yueying smiled sweetly but was thinking in her heart, her body is only about thirteen or fourteen years old, how come she has changed so much as she has grown up?

"Then I, an old man, won't disturb you while you're eating. Please help me give your father a good greeting."

Patriarch Fang looked at the two of them, nodded thoughtfully, indicated that he would not disturb them, and left.

After Mr. Fang walked away, Yueying and her group of four had almost finished their meal and got up to leave.

After everyone left, other people in the restaurant started talking. Hao Yiming didn't pay much attention to it. He just wanted to cheer up Yan Zhixue who was in a bad mood.

Instead, Yan Zhixue clearly heard the people at the next table say that the man who was walking with the woman who loudly humiliated her was Chi Zhaonian, the eldest son of the second aristocratic family.

"Didn't you see that when the Patriarch of the Fang family was talking to him just now, he had to smile along."

Someone at the table closest to them said.

Yan Zhixue's ten slender fingers under her wide sleeves had already clasped tightly into her palms, as if only the pain could prevent her from losing her composure in front of outsiders.

"Who is the woman at the same table with Master Chi?"

"Which one?"

"Of course it's the woman in green. The other one looks like a female attendant. Do I need to ask you?"

"No matter who it is, we don't know, but it can't be run away. It's a confidante."

"Well, she looks extraordinary. If she wasn't so young and hadn't grown up yet, I'm afraid she would surpass the most beautiful girl, Gu Momo, in a few years."

"Ah, are you talking about Gu Momo, the daughter of the Gu family?"

"Yes, it is said that the daughter of the Gu family is fifteen or sixteen years old, and has already reached the Golden Core stage. She has also inherited her mother's beauty, and many young masters from aristocratic families want to marry her."

What they didn't know was that the girl who looked like she had not yet grown up was actually the beautiful woman they had imagined.

It's just that Yueying, through her research on medicine in the previous world, also researched many skin care products and cosmetics that could be made without the aid of modern technology, and used them in this world.

As her appearance became more and more beautiful, Yueying was afraid of attracting trouble when she went out, so she tried her best to make herself look ordinary every day before going out to meet people.

It is said that you should not talk about people behind their backs. As he said this, Hao Yiming saw Qi Sheng, the son of the Qi family, come in with Gu Momo and his own guards.

Qi Sheng saw Hao Yiming and came over to say hello.

"Brother Hao."

"Brother Qi, this is Yan Zhixue from the Yan family."

The Qi family ranked before the Fang family and was also a large family. As for a small family like the Yan family, they might have heard of it at most, or they might not have heard of it at all. Especially since he had the eldest daughter of the Gu family by his side, he just nodded.

Hao Yiming saw that Qi Sheng did not introduce Gu Momo to Yan Zhixue, which made him feel a little embarrassed, so he asked subconsciously.

"Who is this?"

"Brother Hao is really forgetful. I met Gu Momo, the daughter of the Gu family, in the secret realm."

Hao Yiming naturally remembered it, he just felt that since he introduced Yan Zhixue to them, they should also introduce themselves to her.

Speaking of the first time they met, Hao Yiming felt that Gu Yueying was the legitimate daughter of the Gu family, which was why he took the initiative to talk to her today. However, he did not expect that he would embarrass his beloved instead.

Now that it has been confirmed once again that Gu Momo is the legitimate daughter of the Gu family, he has begun to think about helping the person he loves to get back at justice.

"Brother Qi, if it's convenient for you, why don't we sit down together?"

Hao Yiming invited Qi Sheng and others to have dinner with him.

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

After all, he is the most promising youngster in Xianyang Sect. Even people from big families will look up to him.

"Where are Brother Qi and Miss Gu going?"

"I heard there's an alchemy competition in Linshui City, so Momo plans to go take a look."

Qi Sheng looked at Gu Momo with gentle eyes, and his tone was filled with pride.

"I heard that the prize is the Grand Master's alchemy furnace, and this year the Grand Master plans to accept a disciple to inherit his position."

The people around who were discussing the Gu family's legitimate daughter before, couldn't help but look sideways when they heard the loud conversation between the two parties. Seeing that the person coming was indeed a beautiful woman, they all believed in their hearts that this was definitely the Gu family's legitimate daughter, the most beautiful woman in the world.

Hao Yiming had his own plans. He had vaguely heard that the fraudulent "legitimate daughter of the Gu family" also mentioned the alchemy competition. It would be a good idea to go together and expose her true face.

"what."

Just thinking about this, Hao Yiming suddenly laughed out loud.

"Brother Hao, what's this?"

Everyone at the table looked at Hao Yiming. Feeling everyone's puzzled gazes, he smiled awkwardly and explained.

"Nothing. I just thought that some people who cheat others will eventually get their comeuppance."

Others couldn't respond to these sudden words. After all, it was someone else's concern, so they just smiled along.

However, because Hao Yiming looked at Gu Momo and said this vaguely, although others did not pay attention, Gu Momo herself was very sensitive. She subconsciously lowered her head, having a bad premonition in her heart, thinking about how to deal with what would happen next.

What she didn't expect was that no one said anything later, and Hao Yiming was still very friendly to her. Gu Momo realized that she was probably too sensitive.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, Qi Sheng and Hao Yiming decided to go to Linshui City together and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The day of the competition arrived in just two days. Even though there were crowds of people surrounding the registration office every day during the registration period, on the day of the competition, there were only more than 20 tables in total on the square, and the place was still packed with onlookers, three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Host, Gu Momo is here too, and she has contracted the Colorful Butterfly."

Yueying knows this thing, it is in the original text.

“Oh, intelligent temperature control system.”

"You're right."

Xiao P thinks that "Colorful Butterfly" sounds more beautiful.

"You have to believe that in immortal cultivation novels, it is usually about man conquering nature. External objects cannot defeat excellent humans."

Yueying calmly comforted the system.

"Host, do you want that colorful butterfly?"

Xiao P was very curious, did his host really look down on this mythical beast? Even though it was very small.

"What do I need that for? Constant temperature... hot milk?"

Yueying couldn't quite understand. This thing could only be used in the world of immortal cultivation and could only control fire. What use did she have for it?

"It can be used as a lighter..."

Xiao P thought about it and then replied.

"Are you serious?"

Yueying was stunned. She never expected Xiao P to give such an answer.

"By the way, is this colorful butterfly easy to find? I remember in the original story, a male supporting actor gave one to the female lead."

“There is only one.”

"Then why did you say you would get me one to tease me?"

"Didn't I tell you that I have enough energy in this world? I can strip it away."

"Oh, oh, it wasn't easy. You finally got some use out of it. But I think this thing is really meaningless. I'd rather go to the modern world and get some lighters to put in my space. Isn't it more convenient than this?"

"..."

Xiao P thinks what the host said is quite right.

The rules of the competition were announced: This competition was divided into three rounds, with a total of three levels of alchemy furnaces. Only one furnace could be used in each round, and each level could only be used once. The question was drawn first, and then the alchemy furnace was selected. The five people who won the first two rounds directly entered the third round. The third round was to add up the scores of the first two rounds and the third round. Whoever had the highest score would be the first.

"The author's design is quite reasonable. First, you need to determine the grade of the elixir you are refining, then match the furnace according to the elixir to improve the utilization rate of the medicine, and then the time for refining the elixir and the grade of the elixir are all areas of investigation."

Yueying was holding the alchemy furnace that she had chosen in the first round and chatting with Xiao P, when suddenly the crowd in the square became agitated.

"what is that?"

"Colorful butterfly, it's a colorful butterfly!"

"What is a colorful butterfly?"

"Let me put it this way. With the Magic Butterfly, even you and I can make excellent elixirs."

Yueying heard the noisy voices in the crowd and began to automatically block out the noise. She slowly refined the first batch of pills. After a while, she heard a "bang" beside her, and someone's furnace exploded.

"Scared me."

"Is the host's elixir okay?"

"Xiao P, you don't care about me, but my pills?"

"If you get scared, your pills might be in trouble. What's wrong with me caring about them for you?"

"Boom."

Before the two men finished their quarrel, they heard another noise in the distance.

"It seems like when I was a kid, there was a popcorn stove at the corner of the street, with one pot after another making popcorn noises."

"It seems that the appearance of the Fantasy Butterfly still has a great impact on people's mood. I guess the only ones who can produce good pills are you and Gu Momo."

"I have a genius brain and have worked hard for two or three years. Isn't it all in vain?"

"But no one is paying attention to you. Everyone else is twenty years old or older, but you are a thirteen-year-old kid. Gu Momo is seventeen years old."

"Please look at my forehead when you speak, the author is writing it, genius!"

"Boom."

When she heard the sound of a furnace exploding again, Yueying no longer cared as she would soon be able to hand in her first exam paper.

When Yueying struck the small gong on her table, another furnace exploded with a "bang". She had no choice but to strike it again to indicate that she was done.

Chi Zhaonian saw Yueying standing up, and hurried over to wipe the sweat off the little girl's face with a handkerchief. Gu Jiangshan, who was standing behind her, also took a deep breath, and when his sister wanted to go forward again, he held her back.

During these days, the young man felt how much this noble family cared for the young lady, and every detail was genuine. He must be the best man in the world and should be worthy of the young lady.

Originally, whoever struck the gong was supposed to come and inspect and score the prize, but it seemed that the people present had determined that no one had won the Fantasy Butterfly, and after a long while, no one came to give Yueying a score.

It was not until Gu Momo opened five Great Perfection Qi-Harmonizing Pills that the people who were giving scores began to give scores to those whose furnaces did not explode. The time that had been agreed upon would be used as a criterion for scoring, but in the end it was just not counted.

Yueying didn't think it was a big deal. After all, even if the time was the same, she was confident that she could beat others.

I just didn’t expect that the score would reach Yueying’s. Chi Zhaonian couldn’t help it.

"Now that the Grand Master knew he was gone, didn't you guys follow the rules in the first game?"

The little alchemist who was keeping score looked at Chi Zhaonian with contempt and said nothing. The hand that was about to open the lid stopped and walked towards the next person instead.

Yueying was so angry that she almost laughed. How could there be such a person in the book about cultivating immortals? Should he be said to be taking advantage of the power of others or using chicken feathers as a token of authority?

"What do you want to do?"

Chi Zhaonian grabbed the young alchemist.

"Ying'er was the first to strike the gong. You guys are only giving the scores now. Do you think you are unwilling to do so?"

"Let go."

The young alchemist didn't seem to be afraid and looked at Chi Zhaonian coldly.

Yueying really admired this young alchemist in her heart. Even though he was a bit unreasonable and took advantage of the power of others, he was still quite tough.

"what happened?"

The other side might be the person who was hosting the competition. When he heard that someone was making things difficult for the young alchemist, he hurried over.

"Master Chi, Master Chi, what's wrong?"

When the visitor saw Chi Zhaonian, he hurried forward to greet him, his eyes glancing at the young alchemist and Yueying.

"Where's the Grand Master?"

Chi Zhaonian asked with a cold face.

"The master is preparing for the third match. Mr. Chi, do you want to go and see the master?"

The person who was speaking had probably guessed something or other, and for the sake of decency he could only pretend that nothing had happened.

"Is time one of the scoring factors in your competition? Why was Ying'er the first to strike the gong, and your alchemist who was keeping score didn't come over until the grandstanding geek over there was done his job?"
