“Qin Chen, is there such a thing?” Huangfu Nan frowned and looked over.

As a certified elder of the Alchemy Pavilion, he had to handle matters fairly.

If Qin Chen had really acted against Wei Jinzhou, the Holy Son, without cause, directly appointing Qin Chen as the inner affairs elder would indeed have a negative impact on the Alchemy Pavilion.

Qin Chen smiled faintly and said, “In response to Elder Huangfu, there is absolutely no such thing.”

Wei Jinzhou immediately began to laugh: “Brat, you don’t dare to admit it now? Even if you don’t admit it, it doesn’t matter; there were many witnesses to that scene earlier, and I don’t believe you can bribe everyone.”

Wei Jinzhou sneered. He knew it was unlikely to kill Qin Chen now, but he absolutely could not let the other party become the inner affairs elder and needed to leave an impression of arrogance in everyone’s minds to benefit himself.

“Bribing others?” Qin Chen coldly laughed. “I, Qin, would not stoop to such things. Instead, you, as the Holy Son, bully ordinary alchemists without any moral standing, using underhanded tactics to turn black into white. I wonder how someone like you became the Holy Son of the Alchemy City.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Wei Jinzhou’s face darkened.

Wang Yongsheng also said coldly, “Brat, don’t try to quibble. I clearly saw you injure the Holy Son Jinzhou in the lecture hall, and there are countless witnesses to it. No matter how you quibble, it is all in vain.”

“Is that so?” Qin Chen smiled strangely.

“Elder Huangfu, fellow elders, I know words alone are not enough, but I just so happen to have recorded the situation at that time. I ask Elder Huangfu and the other authoritative elders to give me justice!” Qin Chen proclaimed loudly. Then, a crystal ball suddenly appeared in his hand, and the scene from the lecture hall was instantly displayed clearly in front of everyone in the square.

Everything that happened in the lecture hall was vividly projected.

For example, when Zhao Ruhui first failed in alchemy, Wei Jinzhou “kindly” offered help, but when he realized the reaction was uncontrollable and the cauldron was about to explode, he simply abandoned everyone and fled.

There was also the scene after Qin Chen finished handling the situation, when Wei Jinzhou came in high spirits and wanted Qin Chen to submit to him. When Qin Chen refused, Wei Jinzhou revealed his vicious side, ordering his subordinates to attack Qin Chen.

The crystal ball’s images laid bare Wei Jinzhou’s arrogant demeanor, and that kind of prideful stance of “those who obey shall prosper, those who oppose shall perish” made everyone’s faces turn pale.

Qin Chen coldly said, “Holy Son Jinzhou, is this what you call my crime of disregarding your identity as an alchemist and attacking you?”

He took a step forward, a cold aura emanating from him, and said frostily, “I want to ask Holy Son Jinzhou, Master Zhao Ruhui is a newly appointed Apothecary King of the Alchemy Pavilion. Although he has not yet taken up the elder position, he is still our Apothecary King. Is it right for you to bully him so? Also, you insist that I submit to you, and when I refuse, you resort to violence with the intent to kill me. If it weren’t for the Elder Da Bei protecting me, I would have likely been killed by you in the lecture hall already, wouldn’t I?”

“After you couldn’t defeat me, you used your connections to summon your master’s subordinate Elder Wang and others to pressure me. Tell me, is this the way the Holy Son of the Alchemy Pavilion in the Northern Sky Domain conducts himself?”

“You attended Master Zhao Ruhui’s lecture but did not help resolve his alchemy problems. Instead, you sought to upstage him, sabotaging his lecture. This is ungracious.”

“You, as an Apothecary King, knowing that the Feixue Pill’s failure and the explosion of the cauldron could lead to grave consequences, only cared about escaping when danger struck, disregarding the lives of many alchemists on site. This is unjust.”
