Chapter 4001: Rules

rse! She's just a pauper. How could she compare to Mom"Kang Zhijun suddenly had an idea and said, "Mom, you said they're so wealthy, shouldn't we take more than 700,000"OuYang Hui said, "I think so to..."The Second Elder is mistaken."

Mo Chongba stepped forward, "Fan Dongping and Kong Xifeng's actions are indeed inappropriate, but as members of the Alchemist Guild, it is natural for us to punish ourselves. It's not up to others to teach us a lesson."

If this gets out, how will others view us How will they see the Alchemist's Guild Where will our reputation go

Luo Rong said again, “That’s right, without rules, there can be no circle. Our Alchemist Guild has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and it relies on strict guild regulations.”

Honorable Guild Master,Fan Dongping's turning a blind eye to Kong Xifeng's actions has damaged the reputation of our Alchemist Guild and made him unfit to serve as Deputy Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall. I suggest that he be removed from his position and punished accordingly.

While Kong Xifeng acted arbitrarily and extorted fees from other alchemists, which damaged the prestige of our Alchemist Guild. According to the rules, I suggest stripping him of his cultivation and expelling him from the Alchemist Guild.

As for Young Master Ye, although he suffered unfair treatment, he should appeal through proper channels to my Alchemist's Guild rather than taking matters into his own hands.

So the rules are the rules, and he should not be treated differently just because he was a benefactor to someone who is now grown.

According to the regulations, he should be blacklisted. All alchemists from the union are forbidden to refine pills for him, and they are not allowed to enter the Alchemist Union at all. He is also forbidden to take any badges.

After the old man finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed, and Kong Lingyuan's face turned ashen.

He ultimately underestimated Luo Rong's ruthlessness. He had just wanted to marry his apprentice to his grandson, and now in the blink of an eye, he turned his back on her.

To deal with Ye Bufan, he was willing to sacrifice Kong Xifeng, abolish his cultivation, and expel him from the Alchemist's Guild. This is even more painful than killing him.

He was furious, but there was nothing he could say. After all, the other person had the moral high ground.

"Speak with rules when opening your mouth, and speak with rules when closing it. Everything seems to be said from the standpoint of a member of the Alchemist's Guild."

Not only him, but even Zhuge Qingyang had nothing to say.

From the heart, he naturally stood on Ye Bufan's side.

It is only natural that Ye Bufan would discipline the two people who took advantage of his unconscious state.

You are ultimately just a temporary leader, and everything should be based on rules. If you protect Ye Bufan this time, how can you lead the Alchemist Association in the future

If we follow Luo's words, it would be too inhumane.

Just after he had saved himself and quelled the internal strife of the Alchemist's Guild, he turned around and blacklisted that person.

Your own conscience won't allow it, and spreading it around wouldn't sound good either. If people found out, your reputation would be ruined.

Now he could see it, the Great Elder was taking this opportunity to put him in a difficult position. He couldn't advance nor retreat, completely stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Wu Zheng and the others could see clearly, but this kind of thing was really hard to say. After all, Ye Bufan had indeed fought Fan Dongping and Kong Xifeng.

Witnessing the reactions of everyone, Luo Rong felt an increasingly surge of pride.

While he may not be as cunning as Mo Chongba in terms of conspiracies and schemes, he surpasses him in terms of scheming. With just a few words, he managed to corner Zhuge Qingyang.

But he wasn't satisfied with that, his gaze shifted to Hua Qiqi.

"Qiqie Xianzi, now that you are the successor to the chairman, how do you think this matter should be handled Is what I said reasonable Does Ye Gongzi not qualify to take the badge of my Alchemist Association"

He saw that Hua Qiqi and Ye Bufan had an unusual relationship, and the other party had just taken the position of the heir to the president.

That's why I ask this question, aiming to put the other party on the defensive, leaving them speechless and trapped with no way out.

According to his thinking, Hua Qiqi must be like Zhuge Qingyang, having nothing to say at this time. After all, it would be a very difficult choice for anyone in this situation.

To his surprise, Hua Qiqi nodded as soon as he finished speaking.

"The Elder is right, there must be rules to make things orderly. According to our guild's rules, Master Ye cannot take the Alchemy Master certification exam here!"

Her words, as soon as they left her mouth, took everyone by surprise. Even Zhuge Qingyang looked at her in astonishment, and Wu Zheng and the others were dumbfounded.

Normally, Ye Bufan was the person Hua Qiqi had brought. At this point, he should have stood on her side no matter what. So why did he suddenly change sides and stand with Luo Rong

Could it be that becoming an heir to the union inherently changes one, making them ruthless in pursuit of goals and power

Luo Rong was slightly taken aback before bursting into laughter. "Qiqizi, as expected of the chairman's designated successor, your selfless nature is truly admirable."

Ye Bufan had been standing quietly beside her the whole time, his expression unchanged.

He and Hua Qiqi are best friends, with a fundamental level of trust.

I don't think this woman would change her stance just because of a heir apparent. There must be some unknown reason behind it.

As expected, Hua Qiqi turned around and smiled sweetly at him.

"Master Ye, according to the rules, the Alchemist's Guild will bar you from entry, but there is another way for you to obtain a badge."

She didn't want people to know too much, so she changed her address, calling him "Master Ye" instead of "Teacher" like everyone else.

"This is impossible!"

Luo Rong said, "In the Upper Heavenly Domain, only our Alchemist Guild has the right to issue alchemist badges. Since we have rejected them, how could there be another way"

Others were also full of surprise and confusion.

Hua Qiqi let out a cold smile: "Elder, you always talk about rules and regulations. I didn't expect that you weren't fully aware of the rules of our Alchemist's Guild."

Luo Rong frowned, he seemed to sense something was wrong, but couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

He had already gone to great lengths to keep Ye Bufan out, even going so far as to offend Kong Lingyuan and sacrificing Fan Dongping. How could there possibly be a second way for the other party

"What do you mean I don't understand."

Hua Qiqi said: "Could Elder have forgotten, our Alchemist Guild has another rule to ensure that we don't turn away alchemy prodigies - the challenge!"

"Trial by ordeal"

Hearing these two words, everyone present was stunned. They searched their memories for the term and subsequently all wore strange expressions.

Zhuge Qingyang frowned: "Qiqi, are you serious You're not joking"

Hua Qiqiao's expression was calm: "Guild Master, of course I'm serious. Since we can't normally obtain the Alchemist Badge according to the rules, then we can only take the path of challenging the hall."

"No, absolutely not! The consequences would be too severe!"

"Nan Ganglie also chimed in, "The Alchemist's Guild has been around for so many years, and no one has ever been able to succeed on the path of challenging the guild. To be precise, this is a dead end. It's best not to take it."

Here, people kept dissuading him, while Luo Rong and the others wore sneering expressions, standing by as if watching a play.

"Qiqiao Fairy, what is the meaning of this intrusion"who were used to being arrogant, so he decided to speak for himself and give a warning.That being the case, Fang Tianhua changed his mind again: "Send word out, have all clansmen assemble in the court...
