How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

"Sister Yue'er, it's over!" Qu Qian'er nudged the girl who was engrossed in playing with the spirit tablet and whispered, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Why is Sister Yue'er just like her cousin?

Is Lingjian really that fun? Qu Qian'er wondered.

"Oh, okay." Ye Yueyue snapped out of her daze, tossed the spirit tablet back into her storage bag, and just as she finished tidying up, she noticed the middle-aged man's sharp gaze falling on her.

The other person frowned, and their expression was not good.

Ye Yueyue glanced at Qu Qian'er beside her subconsciously, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her.

No wonder the poor little thing was so scared; she would be unhappy if her father were in her place.

Although she encountered quite a few along the way, including her homeroom teacher in school and teachers in the cultivation world, at least they didn't keep in touch after class. Qu Qian'er, on the other hand, faced them every day.

This pressure is too much.

After everyone finished refining, the attendants came down and checked each one.

The assessment for a first-grade alchemist is not difficult. You just need to refine all the first-grade pills. It doesn't matter what the quality is. Even low-grade pills are acceptable. In total, there are only seven or eight kinds.

However, to Ye Yueyue's surprise, only three people, including her and Qu Qian'er, passed this round.

She looked at everyone in surprise.

Except for the boy who passed through the crowd with a happy expression, everyone else was either dejected or silent and downcast.

"Sister Yue'er, I passed!" Qu Qian'er smiled, her two dimples very obvious.

"Yeah, that's amazing!"

Ye Yueyue made a gesture towards her, her face showing affirmative joy.

Qu Qian'er smiled shyly, "No, not at all."

Yes, we are all great!

"Okay!" Qu Qian'er felt a surge of joy. Her gaze swept over Qu Yuan on the stage. His face was expressionless and calm. For the first time, she was not affected by him.

She managed a rare smile at him, but when she met his unsmiling expression and unfathomable dark eyes, Qu Qian'er pursed her lips and didn't look away.

Qu Yuan looked slightly surprised. He remembered that this youngest daughter was the one most afraid of him.

Every time I see him, he looks listless and very timid.

Qu Yuan's gaze fell on the girl in red beside him. Seeing the two acting intimately, and hearing her words, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

After the others had left, the waiter smiled and nodded to the three of them, saying, "Please follow me, alchemists."

After saying that, he slowly walked out.

"Let's go, Qian'er baby!" Ye Yueyue followed.

"Okay." Qu Qian'er walked briskly.

They followed the attendant out of the examination hall and into a side hall. As soon as they entered, the white-haired old man cast a surprised gaze at them.

"There are three this year?"

He walked over, his face appraising her with a kind smile. He stroked his beard, and his gaze softened further when it swept over Qu Qian'er.

"Qian'er passed too?"

Qu Qian'er smiled slightly and nodded obediently, "Yes, Elder Yu."

"Good good."

He burst into laughter, his expression growing even more benevolent.

He then turned his gaze to the other two, his tone slightly colder, "How should I address these two? From now on, they will also be part of my Pill Alliance."

Ye Yueyue's eyes immediately lit up, and she stepped forward in surprise, "You, you must be Elder Yu? The Grand Alchemist."

The girl's expression was sincere and excited. Then, as if realizing her actions were somewhat inappropriate, she took a step back and smiled shyly.

"My name is Ye Yueyue, and I am a newly arrived alchemist. I apologize... I have long admired your reputation, and I hope Elder Yu will not take offense."

Her pretty appearance bore a resemblance to Qu Qian'er beside her. Upon hearing this, Yu Zhong couldn't help but feel a surge of pride, and his expression softened somewhat. "Alright."

Seeing this, the young man standing nearby had a bright idea and stepped forward, saying, "Elder Yu, I am Huo Qing. I have admired you for a long time."

His attitude was so enthusiastic that Yu Zhong frowned slightly and simply nodded.

"Come with me."

"Ah, okay." Huo Qing replied with some disappointment and followed.

Although the boy was somewhat clever, his every move was too obvious, and his little thoughts were basically written all over his face. Ye Yueyue watched from behind and shook her head inwardly.

You're in too much of a hurry, bro.

You have to understand that she has been a corporate slave for several years and has long since honed her skills, which is why she dares to flatter.

Flattery requires skill; if you do it well, the boss will be pleased, and you'll also reap some benefits.

However, if you don't take a good picture, you'll expose your utilitarianism.

For example, this guy in front of me is imitating her.

She was so strong that she could handle men, let alone please the older generation.

It's much easier to please a senior than a man; all you have to do is play the role of a well-behaved junior and add a touch of admiration.

If you have good talent, then you don't need it at all.

Even if their attitude is bad, you are still someone else's child in their eyes.

After entering, Yu Zhong instructed the attendant beside him, "This is a new alchemist. Make a copy of his certificate for them."

"Yes, Elder Yu."

Ye Yueyue stepped forward and asked with a curious expression, "What is the certificate? What is it used for?"

She knew what the voucher was—it was something like the ID card that Si Keke had shown her—but she was more curious about the reward.

She was so worried.

Qu Qian'er, standing to the side, explained, "It's proof of being an alchemist!"

Her expression was somewhat serious, and her round face was very cute.

Ye Yueyue thought that she and the interviewer were father and daughter, and that she also had a good relationship with the elder in front of her, so she guessed that her father's status in the Pill Alliance must also be quite good.

Holy crap, young lady.

Ye Yueyue felt a pang of envy that all the friends she knew were influential figures, while she herself was just an ordinary person.

"Oh."

Seeing the interaction between the two, Yu Zhong's eyes softened. "Qian'er is right. With an alchemist's certificate, you can get a discount on any spiritual plants and herbs purchased from the merchant guild. You are also a member of my Pill Alliance. In the future, if you need help refining pills, my Pill Alliance will lend a hand. You can also use the name of my Pill Alliance when you are out in the world."

The weight of this statement is undeniable; no one would want to offend an alchemist, and even if they did, it would be in private.

Because of the excessive unity of the Danish Alliance.

Ye Yueyue nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, okay."

Is this the benefit of becoming an alchemist?

For some reason, she always felt that it was more worthwhile to use spirit stones.

Apart from the Chamber of Commerce, everything else promised by Danmeng was just empty promises, and Ye Yueyue felt nothing about it.

Perhaps it's because I've worked too many jobs in the 21st century.

She only realized after starting work that it wasn't just men who made empty promises, but also bosses.

Each one was drawn rounder and bigger than the last.

Xiaoyue, keep up the good work, you'll get your share of rewards in the future...blah blah blah.

The girl's face showed a mixture of understanding and confusion; she was about the same age as his granddaughter. Yu Zhong couldn't help but speak up:

"Feel free to ask me if you have any questions."
