Sister Qi, who was full of doubts, prepared to go back and ask what was going on.
With this thought in mind, Sister Qi hurried back to the shop.
However, as soon as she walked into the hall, she found that the atmosphere in the shop was very strange and nervous.
“What’s wrong?”
Sister Qi frowned and asked, her beautiful eyes scanning the surroundings.
“Sister Qi, you’re finally here. You have to bring justice to me. Qin Yue has been using the Alchemy Room frequently recently. From this morning until now, it has been occupied by her.”
Niu Yanan ran in front of Sister Qi and cried. As the earliest disciple, Niu Yanan was still relatively valued. Most of the time, Sister Qi would believe her words.
“Oh? The Alchemy Room has been occupied by Qin Yue?” Sister Qi frowned when she heard this.
In the past, she had said that the alchemy room had to be used in turns. Once one had used it for an hour, one would have to let others use it.
However, Qin Yue had occupied it for so long, so it was clearly a little excessive.
Sister Qi, who was unhappy, said directly, “Is she ignoring my words? Come, Let’s go and take a look!”
“Okay, Sister Qi.”
Niu Yanan felt happy when she heard this. She felt that there was a high chance of chasing Qin Yue away this time.
This also caused Niu Yanan to hurriedly lead the way and quickly run to the door of the alchemy room.
However, at this moment...
Sister Qi suddenly stopped walking and a thought flashed through her mind.
She thought of the medicinal pills that Qin Yue sold and the fact that Qin Yue had been occupying the Alchemy Room. All of this indicated that those medicinal pills were refined by Qin Yue.
However, when Sister Qi thought about it, she felt that something was not right.
Qin Yue’s aptitude was not considered strong. It was already very difficult to refine the most basic pills, not to mention the Black Iron Rank Moistening Water Pill.
The key was that the Moistening Water Pill was so perfect that it surpassed her, who was a peak Black Iron Alchemist.
Therefore, Sister Qi felt that this pill must have been refined by someone else. Qin Yue might just be selling it for someone else.
However, it was a little strange that Qin Yue had been occupying the Alchemy Room all this time. It was incomprehensible.
‘Let’s take a look at the surveillance cameras,’ Sister Qi thought to herself.
She had set up special surveillance cameras in the Alchemy Room. If necessary, she could use the surveillance cameras to observe.
Therefore, Sister Qi waved her hand and said, “Wait a moment. I’ll be right back.”
After saying that, Sister Qi ran far away and ran to the secret basement of her shop.
When she reached here, she quickly turned on the surveillance cameras and checked Alchemy Room No. 3.
When she saw that, her pupils suddenly constricted.
“How is this possible? How is this possible?!”
Sister Qi said in shock as she looked at the surveillance camera in disbelief.
In the surveillance camera...
Qin Yue was holding all kinds of prepared herbs and placing them neatly next to the Alchemy Furnace.
At the same time, she carefully controlled the temperature and worked hard.
However, that was not the main point.
The main point was that the white kitten was standing next to the Alchemy Furnace refining pills.
Yes, refining pills. A cat was refining pills.
On the monitor, the cat would place some ingredients into the Alchemy Furnace from time to time. Its sapphire-like eyes were full of seriousness.
The key ingredients and the steps for placing them were all the ingredients and steps for the Moistening Water Pill. This was a little scary.
“Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. It perfectly controlled the timing of placing the medicinal ingredients and the order was correct. This cat is simply heaven-defying.”
Sister Qi said in shock, her entire person was incomparably excited.
When she thought of how the little cat had been seriously reading books these past few days, seriously recognizing medicinal herbs, and even peeping at her pill refinement in Alchemy Room 1, Sister Qi’s heart beat wildly.
“Could it be that in these two months, the little cat not only learned how to recognize the herbs but it also learned how to refine pills?
“It even went to my Alchemy Room to Peek at my pill refinement? In the end, the pills it refined were even better than the ones I refined?”
Sister Qi swallowed her saliva. This time, she was really scared. She was really scared.
At the same time, she also thought of the test back then. Qin Yue had actually gotten a nine out of ten on such a difficult question. This was very strange.
Now that she thought about it, perhaps it was the kitten that told Qin Yue.
“If my guess is correct, this cat and Qin Yue can communicate telepathically. It should be a rare Spiritual Ability!”
Sister Qi took a deep breath and tried hard to calm her unstable emotions while thinking about how to deal with this matter.
“The kitten is so powerful. Why didn’t Qin Yue say it out loud? Wait, I got it. I’ll shoot the bird that stands out!”
Sister Qi thought of the Strange God Sect in the slums, the Evil Energy Organization, and the various ghosts and monsters hidden in the city. Sister Qi suddenly understood.
There were so many dangers. Not to mention the Evil Energy Organization that collected geniuses and the terrifying Strange God Sect, even the ghosts and monsters in the city were extremely dangerous.
Therefore, the kitten hiding everything was a very wise choice.
“Since little kitten wants to hide, I’ll help it in secret. It’s a rare opportunity for me to have such a powerful little kitten in my shop. I must protect it well.”
Sister Qi nodded and was ready to protect little kitten well. At this thought, she stood up and walked toward Alchemy Room No. 3.
At the door of Alchemy Room No. 3...
At this moment, the atmosphere was very tense.
Niu Yannan became very arrogant after having Sister Qi’s words. When she saw Qin Yue coming out of the Alchemy Room, she immediately began to criticize her.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to occupy the Alchemy Room for so long,” Qin Yue apologized nervously.
The reason why she occupied the Alchemy Room for so long was because of Li Xuan’s request. She listened to Li Xuan and did everything Li Xuan asked her to do.
At the moment she was being criticized, and Qin Yue also felt that she had indeed hindered others, so she hurriedly apologized.
“Do you think that your apology will go away? Let me tell you, no way! Sister Qi said that the Alchemy Room should be used in turns, but you actually turned a deaf ear to it...”
“Just wait, when Sister Qi comes over, she will definitely expel you and drive you away,” Niu Yanan said arrogantly.
“I...”
Qin Yue became even more flustered when she heard that she was going to be chased away. She was so flustered that she did not know what to do.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything.”
Li Xuan comforted her faintly. With his current ability, he could go anywhere, so Li Xuan was very calm.
“Yueyue, I’ll go with you. If you’re fired, I’ll go with you.”
Song Xiaomei ran to Qin Yue’s side, held her little hand, and resolutely faced it together with her.
Although she was also very puzzled as to why Qin Yue frequently used the Alchemy Room, as a good friend, Song Xiaomei chose to support Qin Yue at the first moment.
“Thank You, Xiaomei. Thank you, kitty,” Qin Yue said gratefully, feeling very touched in her heart.
“Hmph, Xiaomei, who do you think you are? Do you think you’re so great just because you have some Alchemy talent? Let me tell you, everyone’s talent is not bad...”
“Even if your talent is twice as good, you still won’t be able to protect Qin Yue. When that time comes, all of you will be expelled together,” Niu Yanan said arrogantly again.
At this moment, the sound of high-heeled shoes slowly sounded. The rhythmic sound of the tower instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Soon...
Sister Qi, who was wearing a cheongsam and red high-heeled shoes, twisted her slender waist and walked over with a graceful posture. She also brought with her a fragrant breeze.
“Sister Qi, you’re finally here. Look, Qin Yue just came out of the Alchemy Room. She’s been here all morning. I suggest that you expel Qin Yue.”
Niu Yanan said hurriedly and looked at Sister Qi expectantly.
