Shameless conspiracy

"What's going on? Bai Zhuang's pill furnace actually has a problem?"

Zhan Yunfeng's face changed. She couldn't understand how the pill refinement process could go wrong like this.

Xia Zhiqing and the others also became nervous. In this critical stage of alchemy, if the pill furnace had a problem, wouldn't the almost completed pill be ruined?

"Haha, I told you, how could the alchemy skills of a cultivator be good? It's ridiculous that it's about to explode. It's really laughable!" The cultivators from Lingyin Academy mercilessly mocked. An exploding furnace was a situation caused by the incompetence of an alchemist.

"Does Baili Hongzhuang dare to participate in the alchemy competition with such skill? Is she intentionally making fun of us?"

"Now Canglan Academy is going to lose face. The first place in the previous two rounds can't even refine a pill in this third round."

After hearing the discussions around her, Xia Zhiqing's face turned ugly. She wanted to argue with them, but Cui Haoyan stopped her.

There were too many people from Lingyin Academy, and she couldn't win the argument. It would just be a waste of time.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiqing's face still showed her dissatisfaction, but she could only swallow her anger.

She believed that this was definitely not Bai Zhuang's fault. Someone must have tampered with her pill furnace!

Huan Chuyou's face turned dark. There was no way the pill furnace couldn't withstand the temperature of a second-grade pill. The only explanation was that someone had tampered with Bai Zhuang's pill furnace.

Before Huan Chuyou could speak, Chu Jiyu had already spoken out, "Principal Jian, someone has tampered with Bai Zhuang's pill furnace. This competition is unfair!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Jian Qingqiu's eyes. "Tampered with? How is that possible?"

The gazes of Chen Yiyu and others fell on Jian Qingqiu. Although Jian Qingqiu appeared surprised, none of them believed that she had no connection to this matter!

This was Lingyin Academy, and the pill furnace was prepared by Lingyin Academy. Who would believe that Jian Qingqiu had nothing to do with it?

"Principal Jian, it's too much for someone to do such a thing in this situation," Huan Chuyou said with a cold face.

If not for this turn of events, Bai Zhuang would have surpassed the first-place winner of the previous alchemy competition. Now, her chances were ruined by someone's interference.

As the vice principal of Canglan Academy, how could he tolerate this?

Compared to Huan Chuyou's anger, Jian Qingqiu appeared somewhat indifferent, deliberately making an apologetic expression.

"I was also unaware of this matter, Elder Huan. Rest assured, I will investigate the issue! However, let's wait until this alchemy competition is over before finding out the cause. It's not appropriate to leave now."

With Jian Qingqiu's words, Huan Chuyou's expression became even more unpleasant.

Jian Qingqiu's meaning was clear. She would find out who was behind this after the competition, but by then, the outcome would already be determined.

By that time, even if Jian Qingqiu casually fabricated a mastermind, what would be the point?

Everyone's attention was on the final result. They wouldn't care too much about this conspiracy. It was as if Canglan Academy had suffered a silent loss!

However, Jian Qingqiu's words left him with no way to refute. They had discovered it too late, and there was no way to redo the alchemy competition!
