Chapter 1715 - 1716: Meeting Zhao Mubai Again
Seeing this scene, Mu Ling felt extremely pleased and chuckled, "Sister, you wouldn't naively think that this bottle contains top-grade Emperor Spiritual Pill, would you? By the way, isn't Third Uncle a disciple of the Pharmacist Sect? He certainly can authenticate the pill's authenticity, let him take a look."
Mu Ling's lips curled into a mocking smile. Her intention wasn't to help Lin Chen or Mu Yunxue but to ridicule them.
"Yeah, let's authenticate it; what if it's real?" Voices echoed from the crowd.
However, these voices carried a tone of mockery.
Clearly, these people wanted to see Lin Chen embarrassed.
At this moment, Mu Yunxue's mother, Qiu Yun, also sighed.
"Forget it, no need to authenticate, it couldn't be real." Mu Feng waved his hand, with a trace of fatigue in his eyes.
His current expression was very unpleasant. Today was supposed to be the moment their family would stand tall within the whole clan, but unexpectedly, it turned into a family joke.
"Wait, the aroma of the medicine just now really resembled Emperor Spiritual Pill." Suddenly, a middle-aged man stood out.
The speaker was Mu Yunxue's second uncle, Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was the only disciple of the Pharmacist Sect in the Mu family, a master alchemist.
"Mu Brother, I once had the fortune to see an Emperor Spiritual Pill in the Pharmacist Sect, I can distinguish authenticity."
Saying this, Mu Chen stepped forward and picked up the porcelain bottle from Mu Yunxue's hand.
"Third Uncle, scrutinize it and see what kind of incredible pill this little boy has concocted." Mu Ling sneered.
"Lin Chen, are you sure this pill is real?" Mu Feng asked Lin Chen solemnly.
He wanted to give Lin Chen one more chance, mainly to prevent Lin Chen from being too embarrassed.
Because once Mu Chen authenticated the pill as fake, the embarrassment wouldn't just fall on Lin Chen, but also on his daughter Mu Yunxue, and potentially himself.
"Of course, it's real." Lin Chen replied calmly.
"Alright, if it's fake, never step into our Mu family's door again." Mu Feng said seriously.
"Third Uncle, what grade do you think this pill is, first grade, second grade or simply worthless?" Mu Ling teasingly asked.
Others shared the teasing expression in their eyes, waiting to see Lin Chen embarrassed.
However, Mu Chen didn't utter a word, his gaze tightly fixed on the pill in his hand.
Moreover, Mu Chen's hand was already trembling, his expression becoming increasingly serious.
"Third Uncle, what's wrong, speak up." Mu Ling anxiously said.
After observing for a while, Mu Chen carefully placed the pill back into the bottle and earnestly said, "Young man, did you really concoct this pill?"
"Certainly." Lin Chen said calmly.
"Third Uncle, I personally watched Lin Chen concoct it." Mu Yunxue testified.
"Master Lin, please accept my bow." To everyone's surprise, Mu Chen actually bowed to Lin Chen.
Everyone was stunned at this scene.
Mu Chen, a disciple of the Pharmacist Sect, held an extraordinary position in the entire Mu family.
Yet, he actually showed courtesy to a junior, which was inconceivable.
"Third Uncle, you are too kind." Lin Chen quickly helped Mu Chen up.
"Third Uncle, have you gone mad? Why bow to this little brat?" Mu Ling asked perplexedly.
Mu Chen laughed bitterly, saying, "In the Pharmacist Sect, wisdom is the master; this Emperor Spiritual Pill's aroma is pure, its form smoother than a pearl, and it has three distinct pill lines. It indeed is a top-grade Emperor Spiritual Pill."
Upon hearing Mu Chen's words, the entire hall fell silent, everyone turned to stone.
"A top-grade Emperor Spiritual Pill, how could it be?" Mu Chen's words exploded like a thunderbolt in everyone's heads.
Everyone was shocked as if they heard a mythical story.
"Impossible, how could it be, this boy is still so young, how could he concoct an Emperor Spiritual Pill?" Mu Ling couldn't help but exclaim.
"Third Uncle, did you see wrong?" Mu Ling's husband Zhang Fu also questioned from beside.
Mu Chen's face turned cold, "Are you questioning my judgment? As a pharmacist, the basics are recognizing medicine. If I can't even tell authenticity, all these years in the Pharmacist Sect would have been a waste."
"But he..."
"I can guarantee with my life, this Emperor Spiritual Pill is genuine, and it is a top-grade Emperor Spiritual Pill." Mu Chen said seriously.
Suddenly, Mu Ling was speechless.
Originally, she sought to humiliate Mu Yunxue, but now, the other party turned out to be a master alchemist, far superior to her husband.
At this moment, everyone in the Mu family viewed Lin Chen with different eyes.
"I knew it, this young man must be an exceptional talent."
"Exactly, I always knew that our Yunxue has excellent taste."
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Mu Ling clenched her fists tightly.
"How could it be, how could this happen."
However, suddenly Mu Ling chuckled coldly, "You all better not flatter too soon. The Family Head promised Zhao Mubai's marriage proposal; if we break the engagement, you should know the consequences."
Upon hearing Mu Ling's words, everyone's expression changed.
Looking at the time, the appointment with the Zhao family was almost arriving.
Mu Feng's expression also became somewhat troubled.
He didn't expect Lin Chen to be so outstanding.
But he already agreed to Zhao Mubai and Mu Yunxue's marriage. If the engagement was broken, would Zhao Mubai let it go?
Just then, a commotion could be heard from the doorway.
Led by Zhao Yong, members of the Zhao family entered the Mu family's hall.
Behind Zhao Yong followed more than a dozen members of the Zhao family.
This time, the Zhao family took the engagement seriously, not only did the Family Head come, but also the three elders, Zhao Mubai, and Zhao Muqiu.
However, Zhao Muqiu was seated in a wheelchair pushed by two individuals.
"Brother Mu, we weren't late, right?" Zhao Yong laughed heartily.
Mu Feng's expression was somewhat awkward, he glanced at Lin Chen and smiled bitterly, "Zhao Brother is indeed punctual, but there seems to be some changes regarding our children's marriage."
"Changes?" Upon hearing Mu Feng's words, Zhao Yong's face slightly changed.
At this moment, Zhao Muqiu's gaze landed on Lin Chen, a flash of malice in his eyes.
"Brother, it's him, this bastard not only harassed my sister-in-law but also injured me." Zhao Muqiu pointed at Lin Chen, shouted venomously.
Hearing Zhao Muqiu's words, Zhao Mubai's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Lin Chen firmly.
"Are you trying to take Yunxue from me?" Zhao Mubai's voice carried a hint of chill.
Lin Chen replied calmly, "It's not about taking, she was always mine."
"Haha, your woman, boy, do you know what the consequence is for taking my woman?" Zhao Mubai's gaze was sinister.
The entire hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at Lin Chen and Zhao Mubai.
Zhao Mubai squinted, staring at Lin Chen, with killing intent surging in his eyes.
Everyone knew that a duel between Lin Chen and Zhao Mubai was inevitable.
