Walking out of the examination hall, Qi Nue clutched her badge tightly in her hand as she looked at it proudly.
A bit later, Zhao Tian stepped out and walked to her "Sister Nue."
Qi Nue turned around to look at him with a big smile on her face "Little brother."
"Congratulations."
Keeping her smile, she showed him the badge "See, I passed.. I passed."
Zhao Tian chuckled lightly, nodding. "You didn't just pass. You impressed everyone. That pill was nearly perfect."
She smiled even brighter and leaned closer to him "I am dedicating this badge to you."
Before he could reply, a sudden yell shattered the gentle atmosphere.
"Unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable!"
Both turned toward the source.
A tall man in deep crimson robes walked into the courtyard, his face fuming with anger.
A badge with the symbol of a Sun-Ember Furnace hung from his chest, a high-ranking figure within the Alchemy Pavilion's upper echelons.
