After returning ho, the family head locked himself in his room and did not co out. He looked at the blood on his forehead in the mirror, and felt waves of heart-wrenching pain. His entire head had swelled up, and many blood clots had appeared on his head.
He imdiately swallowed a few pills, which improved his condition.
However, although he had physically recovered, the ntal and emotional trauma was still present. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he could still envision that sa out-of-body, out-of-control experience that he had just had.
It was terrifying!
He had been betrayed by his own body!
As for why Yuchi did not kill him?
The reason was very simple. He did not want to start a chain reaction of people trying to take revenge for the family head. In any case, he had educated the family head, so perhaps things would change in the future.
Death would only allow one of his rotten descendants to take over the reins. Yuchi was trying to avoid becoming ensnared in annoying troubles.
In fact, Yuchi had already forgotten about the family head, and was currently leisurely drinking tea while waiting for Si Yuming and Hanjiang to finish their conversation.
…
Three days passed in a flash.
During these three days, Yuchi acted as he had planned before. During the day, he would go to the Alchemist Guild to study. After each day, he would return the study materials to the counter before the closing hour.
By the second day, there were already many of the people invigilating the assessnt who had arrived. Each and every one stared at Yuchi incredulously. They had already heard about his achievents from others.
Incidentally, they also discovered that Yuchi and Si Yuming were quite close, and therefore put two and two together.
They believed that the reason why Yuchi was so capable was probably due to the guidance of Si Yuming's grandfather, who was a fifth-level alchemist.
Thus, from their perspective, Yuchi had only co to take the assessnts after mastering the knowledge taught to him by Si Yuming's grandfather.
Yuchi had previously said that he knew nothing about alchemy, but that was probably him being modest. At the very least, they thought so.
In the next half an hour, Yuchi's assessnt would begin.
The invigilators were discussing with each other to determine the questions. Furthermore, this assessnt would also be broadcasted live on the Alchemist Guild's internet.
After all, this was a fourth-level alchemist assessnt, which was sothing rare in the Alchemist Valley. The broadcast would also have a full 360-degree coverage of the venue, so cheating was impossible.
This was also done to ensure the Alchemist Guild's prestige and honor remained intact. Otherwise, who knew what allegations would co flying their way.
Yuchi was currently waiting for the assessnt, and Si Yuming was standing next to him.
Si Yuming looked at the gazes of the people around her. After conversing with Hanjiang, she now knew for a fact that Yuchi had never co into contact with alchemy before this. That much she had been told. As for the other stuff, Hanjiang had said that it was a secret.
As a result, Si Yuming was very curious about where Yuchi had co from.
Could it be that there was an area in the Alchemist Valley that she was unaware of? Or a hidden faction that no one had heard of?
Such a thing should be impossible given her and her grandfather's status.
Traces of such a faction or area should have reached her ears, if not her grandfather's. Although she was extrely curious about it, she restrained herself.
Yuchi was too mysterious.
Hence, Si Yuming could only ponder on this matter alone. She had to think about this matter from a different perspective and try to find out where Yuchi ca from.
…
The Alchemist Guild's website was not open to the public, especially for this kind of private live broadcast. After all, the general public would not understand anything about the assessnt.
However, it was open to certain alchemists registered under the Alchemist Guild.
There were already many high-level alchemists online. Among them were many fourth-level and even fifth-level alchemists.
Si Yuming's grandfather was one of them.
When these people heard that soone was going to take the fourth-level assessnt after just a few days, they imdiately stopped what they were doing to check out this rising star.
Perhaps there would be sothing to learn from Yuchi's alchemy. After all, even as fifth-level alchemists, one had to stay updated and abreast of the tis, lest they be left behind when advancents were made.
"Can this young man really pass the assessnt?"
"I find it hard to believe."
Then, Si Yuming's grandfather suddenly saw a figure that he was extrely familiar with.
He was dumbfounded as he held onto the screen of the monitor, and nearly jumped up.
