Chapter 660 - Youth Exchange (4)

Chapter 660 “Youth Exchange (4)”

A young maiden had taken off from her seat to be the first to ask a question. Though Mu Leng’s answer was nothing but a half-heated attempt, it’s nevertheless still good enough in the eyes of these youngsters who listened intently to those words.

In their eyes, even if the advice resulted in failure or doesn’t hold substantive help to themselves, it’s still coming from the number genius of the younger generation. Just that fact alone was enough to sway them to believe the high standing lady.

Of course, not everyone would react the same way. Bai Yan’s heard everything from her location, including the answers to the rest of the questions, and her only response was a shake of her head in disappointment.

Among the eight questions answered thus far, Mu Leng managed to answer five of them correctly. However, due to the lady’s lack of insight, her answer ended making the question more complicated than it should be when easier explanations could be had. As for the remaining three that came out of her mouth, they’re bound to result in failure when those people go back to try the method mentioned today.

But it’s not her business anways so Bai Yan didn’t want to get involved. Sadly, as the old saying goes, trouble comes knocking even if you don’t look for it.

Due to Xun Huan’s extra attention from earlier, Mu Leng herself had also taken extra care to pay a closer look at Bai Yan whenever she could. So, when the woman unintentionally shook her head in disappointment after hearing the eighth answer, it immediately fell into the eyes of the shining girl on the stage.

Pausing in her speech: “You there, why are you shaking your head after my answering? Could it be, Miss, are you disagreeing with my findings? If so, please enlighten us here today. I’m a very open person and is fine with criticism.”

In actual fact, Mu Leng does hold a lot of confidence in her own knowledge regarding matters of alchemy. Therefore, this was her form of retaliating against the mockery of others. Well, mockery in her eyes anyways…

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were now focused on the indicated woman whose wearing the facial veil.

“Which family are you from? How can you be so rude? It’s not everyday a famed alchemist is willing to answer our dilemmas. If you are here then you should just quietly listen, why shake your head?”

“That’s right! Mu Leng is the number one person in the Misty Fairy House so her advices couldn’t be wrong. Even if you envy her, you should still try to hide it and not make your thoughts so obvious. Otherwise you will just be left behind and tossed overboard you know!”

Everyone’s clearly disgruntled by Bai Yan’s interruption so their gazes are now cold and angry like the fault lies entirely on her.

Seriously? I just got hit for the second time even though I’m lying down!

Pausing in her fingers that’s caressing the little fox, Bai Yan curves the corner of her mouth into a smirk: “Number one person? According to my memories, I thought the number one person is Yun Feng, the eldest son of the current chief.”

“Haha!” The young man who spoke out first with the taunts began to laugh humorously: “Yun Feng? That’s from the older generation. For our generation, the number one spot unquestionably lies with Miss Mu Leng.”

In actual fact, everyone present understood the only reason Mu Leng could be called the number one genius of the Misty Fairy House was due to her shifu being Elder Muzhen. Coupled this fact with the lack of a third-generational heir thus far, it’s normal for everyone to recognize this lady as the strongest contender right now.

What’s more, even if the current chief’s two son had a child, that’s for the next generation so its no threat to them who are now mostly in their teens or coming close to adulthood.

“Oh?” Bai Yan continues to smile meaningfully: “Then what if the second young master of the Misty Fairy House had an illegitimate child from the outside? Would her position as the number one person still stand?”

“Ahumph!” Hearing the topic being diverted to himself now, the womanizer hurried to cut in less some bad rumor starts spreading. Holding up his hand to gain everyone’s attention: “I know I can be quite the womanizer and definitely spent a lot of nights with various women. However, I must make one point clear, I do not have any children of my own yet!”

“Had many women, but no children?” Bai Yan cocked one of her brows in an inspecting fashion: “Then shouldn’t you go have yourself checked out by now? There’s an alchemic master right beside you, why not have her take a look to give you some treatment?”

Since others are deliberately throwing the fault above her head then its only normal for Bai Yan to turn things around and shift it back to someone else. She’s never been a person who takes bullcrap without retaliation.
