Huan Chu You frowned tightly, realizing that Gu Cangyun had indeed gone too far with his words.
He had known Gu Cangyun for many years and had a certain understanding of his petty character. Whenever someone angered him, he would find ways to retaliate.
However, the person behind Baili Hongzhuang was definitely not ordinary. She was not someone without any background.
Baili Hongzhuang's question had made Gu Cangyun lose face, and he couldn't believe that Baili Hongzhuang dared to say such things in front of him.
"What did you just say?" Gu Cangyun's eyes were filled with anger as he gritted his teeth and asked again. He refused to believe that Baili Hongzhuang would dare to repeat it.
"I said, if you have the guts, say it again!" Baili Hongzhuang's expression remained unchanged as her chilling words rang out once more.
In her previous life as a prominent family's head, she had encountered numerous alchemists, and none of them had dared to speak to her in such a manner.
Even in her current reincarnated life, she would never allow someone like Gu Cangyun to insult her!
Feeling the sharpness in Baili Hongzhuang's gaze, Gu Cangyun's mind froze. Within that gaze, he distinctly felt a strong killing intent!
As a third-rank alchemist, he had encountered many experts, but this level of terrifying killing intent was a first for him.
For a moment, Gu Cangyun stood rooted to the spot, unable to utter a single word.
Huan Chu You also noticed Baili Hongzhuang's formidable momentum and his eyes brightened.
Indeed, Baili Hongzhuang was extraordinary. It was rare to see such momentum in a young girl.
Tong Qingyuan was secretly amazed and felt a hint of fear towards Baili Hongzhuang. Judging from her display, Baili Hongzhuang's confidence seemed even greater than Gu Cangyun's.
As the atmosphere became increasingly awkward, Huan Chu You had to step in to defuse the situation. "Since both Baili Hongzhuang and Wei Meidai are here to participate in the Alchemist Assessment, let's proceed with the assessment first."
Gu Cangyun, feeling embarrassed, reluctantly followed Huan Chu You's lead and descended the stage.
"Very well, I want to see how remarkable Baili Hongzhuang's alchemy skills truly are!" Gu Cangyun snorted in anger, sweeping his sleeve as he walked directly into the assessment hall. Wei Meidai glared at Baili Hongzhuang resentfully and followed Gu Cangyun inside.
Huan Chu You shook his head and then invited Tong Qingyuan and Baili Hongzhuang into the assessment hall.
The onlookers couldn't contain their curiosity as they watched Gu Cangyun and the others enter the hall, but the assessment hall was not a place they could enter.
"Baili Hongzhuang is truly audacious. She treats Master Gu this way, and yet Master Gu is helpless against her."
"Master Gu and Wei Meidai are usually so arrogant. It's rare for someone to make them lose face. Baili Hongzhuang is truly remarkable."
"Baili Hongzhuang is the owner of the Divine Physician's Residence. Many people seek her medical treatment, so she naturally doesn't care about Master Gu."
As these words were spoken, everyone nodded in agreement, finding them reasonable.
In terms of alchemy, there was Master Gu, and even above him was Master Huan. But in terms of medical skills, it was uncertain who could surpass Baili Hongzhuang.
In terms of talent, Baili Hongzhuang was undoubtedly a master. It was just her young age that made it hard to believe she was a master.
Baili Hongzhuang walked slowly into the assessment hall, and behind the thick black curtains, the appearance of the hall unfolded before her eyes. In her line of sight, round alchemy furnaces were arranged, each accompanied by a square wooden table for placing medicinal ingredients.
