Chapter 299: Stirring Up Public Anger

"Xiao Fan, what do you mean by that!"

Ji Bofeng was furious. What did he mean by 'not bad'…

It sounded clearly like he was evaluating him.

And his tone was so indifferent… even Kong Ping hadn't been like that.

Ji Bofeng felt insulted…

Even if Xiao Fan might have great talent for Alchemy, he didn't understand anything right now…

Especially since he was still immersed in the joy of completing his Alchemy, hearing Xiao Fan's words caused him to lose control of himself instantly.

The other Disciples around naturally heard what Xiao Fan had just said.

They could understand Ji Bofeng's anger.

As an Alchemist, one's mood is very excited and joyful right after successfully refining a pill.

It felt as if they had accomplished a major feat.

To be humiliated at such a moment… was undoubtedly as painful as being killed.

Especially since Xiao Fan was not even a Disciple of their Danding Peak.

Yet he spoke like that…

Instantly, everyone stood on Ji Bofeng's side, staring at Xiao Fan with unfriendly expressions.

Kong Ping was also stunned…

How did they start arguing in the blink of an eye?

He naturally heard what Xiao Fan had just said, and his tone carried a hint of evaluation…

As an Alchemist, he could naturally understand Ji Bofeng's feelings.

Having just succeeded in Alchemy, only to be looked down upon, it would be strange if he felt good…

Xiao Fan was speechless; he had just spoken instinctively…

In his view, for Ji Bofeng to successfully refine one yiqi pill on his first attempt was indeed not bad.

But he hadn't expected the other party to get so worked up…

He wanted to explain, but before he could speak, Long Caiwei, who was on the side, got anxious.

Seeing someone being fierce to her brother-in-law, Long Caiwei's expression changed on the spot.

She stood out and shouted at Ji Bofeng: "What are you screaming about… So what if my brother-in-law said your fire control is poor?"

Xiao Fan: "…"

Ji Bofeng was even angrier now. He had just successfully refined a Medicinal Pill, and even the fifth-grade Alchemist Kong Ping had praised him.

Yet Xiao Fan, a layman, was actually judging him…

'Not bad'?

What is that supposed to mean!

And this little girl in front of him was standing up to be fierce to him…

"Ah~!"

Ji Bofeng let out a wild roar. He had managed to control the urge to shout in excitement earlier, but now he could not control this roar of anger no matter what.

"Xiao Fan, you… what right do you have to criticize me?"

If someone else had judged him, Ji Bofeng might not have been this enraged.

But… the person judging him was Xiao Fan.

The Xiao Fan who ambushed him and caused him to lose first place.

The fifth-grade breakthrough pill had slipped through his fingers…

Now that he had finally joined Danding Peak, and yet…

The other party was still mocking him?

In Ji Bofeng's eyes, Xiao Fan's 'not bad' was pure mockery!

"I… what did I say about you? I was just stating a fact."

Xiao Fan was speechless… his face also darkened slightly…

But suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind…

And the more he thought about it, the better the idea seemed…

Kong Ping's expression on the side was also somewhat ugly. He had just wanted to intervene, but he stopped.

He raised an eyebrow, seemingly having thought of something.

If this Xiao Fan were provoked by Ji Bofeng… perhaps it would have a miraculous effect.

His desire to recruit Xiao Fan into Danding Peak had never changed, but he wanted to try a different approach now.

Since letting Xiao Fan watch others practice Alchemy was useless.

Then he might as well let Ji Bofeng provoke Xiao Fan…

The two continued to argue endlessly…

He would speak up when the time was right…

"You… Xiao Fan, do you even know how to practice Alchemy? Have you ever practiced Alchemy? What right do you have to talk about me like that?"

Ji Bofeng asked three consecutive questions, his voice growing louder and louder. If he didn't know that he most likely couldn't beat Xiao Fan, he would have already taken action.

Being pressed like this by Ji Bofeng, a few black lines appeared on Xiao Fan's face.

"Ji Bofeng, whether I have practiced Alchemy or not, what does that have to do with you?"

Xiao Fan sneered: "Also, just because your Alchemy is poor, does that mean others aren't allowed to criticize it?"

"You!!"

Ji Bofeng was about to go crazy at this moment.

"What do you mean 'you', don't be fierce to my brother-in-law!"

Long Caiwei stood out again.

Seeing Long Caiwei, Ji Bofeng was about to lose his mind!

The surrounding Disciples looked at each other…

They thought Long Caiwei was worried that Xiao Fan would suffer a loss.

After all, Ji Bofeng's cultivation was at the third level of the Tongtian Realm, while Xiao Fan was only at the first level of the Tongtian Realm…

Although there was a result for the Inner Sect selection ranking, most Inner Sect Disciples didn't care at all.

Especially the Disciples of the Four Peaks…

No matter how strong an Outer Sect Disciple was?

How strong could they really be?

However, as fellow Danding Peak Disciples, they naturally stood on Ji Bofeng's side.

Plus, the way Xiao Fan had been making various comments from the side earlier… caused many Disciples to feel antipathy.

Immediately, they one by one began to voice their support for Ji Bofeng…

"You're called Xiao Fan, right? Do you know how to practice Alchemy?"

"You're not a Danding Peak Disciple yet, so it's not right to criticize our Danding Peak's people."

"Hehe… Xiao Fan, since you say Junior Brother Ji refined it poorly, why don't you refine one on the spot?"

"…"

A group of Danding Peak Disciples were surprisingly united.

It made Ji Bofeng feel the warmth of home instantly.

He was so moved he almost cried…

Being mocked by a group of people, Xiao Fan's face turned red, appearing furious…

However, in his heart, he wished they would be even fiercer.

And Long Caiwei on the side became anxious: "You, what right do you have to say that!"

"Caiwei, this has nothing to do with you. It was clearly your brother-in-law who spoke rudely first."

A female Disciple who knew Long Caiwei spoke up, her tone also very unfriendly.

"Exactly, Caiwei, this has nothing to do with you."

"Apologize, you must apologize to Junior Brother Ji…"

"…"

It was a scene of noise and clamor…

They completely forgot that Kong Ping was still there.

And Kong Ping also pretended he wasn't there, with absolutely no intention of stepping in to stop it.

In fact, he was secretly enjoying it!

Provoke him, provoke Xiao Fan a bit more. Then, in a fit of rage, Xiao Fan would join Danding Peak, study Alchemy hard, and then defeat them!

That was what Kong Ping was calculating in his heart…
