When it was Feng Qing’s turn to retrieve the spices, she directly avoided the few spices that Feng Jianing had tampered with. When she was about to turn around, her elbow was touched. Fortunately, her reaction was extrely fast, so she could ensure that the spice didn’t fall to the ground. Feng Qing frowned and looked over. Only then did she realize that the person who had bumped into her was Feng Jianing. What made her feel disgusted was that Feng Jianing didn’t even look at her and pretended that nothing had happened, as if it was an accident that she had bumped into her just now.
Seeing that she didn’t succeed, Feng Jianing ignored Feng Qing and directly turned around to walk back to her table. Feng Qing reached out to touch her pocket and realized that there was a plastic round box inside. It looked like a powder cake.
Putting the little round box back into her pocket, Feng Qing looked at Feng Jianing, who had just returned to the table. Her eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly, and a hint of mockery appeared on her lips. With her intelligence, how could she not understand Feng Jianing’s thoughts?
As expected, as the competition progressed, many contestants had already failed. All of them were either exclaiming in surprise or in disbelief. Originally, there was no one with a 100% success rate in making perfu. Even a Nine-Star Fragrance Master couldn’t guarantee that he would succeed every ti he made perfu, so it was normal to fail. However, this was a competition after all. According to the competition rules, every ti the contestants failed, their points would be deducted.
Ten minutes passed, and many contestants failed to mix the perfu. So of the perfu was black, and the sll was completely wrong. So of the perfu’s color was problematic, and there were even so that looked like cotton.
Three, six, nine. In the end, even the top three contestants in the preliminaries failed to mix the perfu. They thought that since the materials used were different, the result after everyone failed was also different. However, most of the failed perfus would have cotton-like substances, making people feel disgusted.
Finally, Charles and Angus, who were sitting on the platform, stood up. Looking at the chaotic situation on the field, they both felt that sothing was wrong. Charles instructed the staff to retrieve the batch of perfu that the contestants had failed to mix just now, as well as the formula for the contestants’ perfu. He wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on. However, when he and Angus finished looking at the failed perfu and the corresponding formula, they frowned. Angus held a perfu formula and said, “That’s strange. It shouldn’t be. Most people use relatively common spices. If we mix according to these recipes, this wouldn’t happen at all.”
Charles nodded, agreeing with Angus’s judgnt, so he instructed the staff of the competition team. “Take so people and check what’s going on and why this happened.”
After another ten minutes, the staff ran back and whispered into Charles and Angus’s ears. In a very low voice, he told them the result of the investigation.
In the audience area, Xing Yue stood up from his chair. He looked at Netherworld and Duke Raymond. “I just received news that the Imperial Concubine will be here soon.” With that, he adjusted his white military uniform and walked out with his head held high.
Netherworld sat there without moving. His eyes behind the golden mask were fixed on the activity on the podium. He saw all the changes in Charles and Angus’s expressions. At this mont, Angus stood up again. He took the microphone and said, “All contestants, please pay attention and stop all your operations imdiately. Also, stand on the spot and don’t walk around. After the competition’s organizing committee’s investigation, we found that soone is suspected to have brought prohibited items into the competition grounds. Now, we want to re-examine every contestant. Please cooperate actively. I’m deeply sorry for the unhappiness.”
Upon hearing Angus’s words, the entire venue erupted in discussion. All the contestants switched off their various perfu equipnt and stopped the perfu they were brewing.
“What’s going on? This is the hall of the Jin City outside the palace. Who has the guts to bring in prohibited items?”
“The competition has set the rules long ago. Anyone who participates in the competition with prohibited goods will be imdiately disqualified no matter their reasons. Moreover, their fragrance master qualification would be revoked and be banned from participating in any competitions related to perfu for the rest of their lives. They will even face a huge fine from the International Fragrance Alliance.”
“What you’re saying is secondary. According to Country F’s local safety law, anyone who carries contraband in the palace will be sentenced to prison for at least five years!”
