Chapter 2830
Kai chose not to use the pearl beads, instead harnessing his extensive divine sense to start purging the poison affecting several elders of Suo Xing Yue and others!
Soon, several members of Suo Xingyue regained consciousness, yet they couldn’t recall anything about the ruling they had just made!
An elderly man approached Suo Xingyue and presented the God Condensing Pill that Kai and Meng He had refined, double-checking its quality for the group!
Upon examining the pills again, they were astonished; it was clear that Kai’s God Condensation Pill was significantly more potent than Meng He’s, yet they were baffled as to why they had initially chosen Meng He as the winner!
“How could this happen? I don’t even know what I’ve done…” Suo Xingyue admitted, embarrassment written all over his face!
As the referee, this outcome was incredibly humiliating.
Other elders from the Danyang Sect were equally flushed with shame, feeling embarrassed for misjudging what was glaringly obvious to anyone!
“Elder Suo, perhaps you should consult your disciple, Miss Zhu Zhu; she might have some insights,” Kai suggested to Suo Xingyue!
Upon hearing this, Suo Xingyue quickly turned to Zhu Zhu, asking, “Zhu Zhu, please explain what happened here. I recall you were standing behind us.”
“Master, I’m just as confused as you are; the judges made the decisions themselves,” Zhu Zhu replied, feigning ignorance.
Seeing this, Meng He shouted, “I’ve won first place! Why isn’t it being announced? Are you trying to cheat me outright?”
Meng He’s outburst sparked discontent among the crowd; it was evident that his God Condensation Pill was superior, and aside from the old man, everyone else had clearly favored Meng He!
With such a large gap in quality, it seemed there was no reason for further discussion—the results should have been declared immediately!
Faced with Meng He’s yelling and the restless crowd, the elderly man could only respond loudly, “Everyone, please calm down. Due to the sudden illness of several elders from the Danyang Sect, we may have to invalidate this examination’s results.”
“I refuse to accept an annulment! I must be declared the winner! If you insist on invalidating the results, I will question the fairness of your county, Jialing!” Meng He protested vehemently.
The situation had reached a stalemate; it was clear that Suo Xingyue and the others were being manipulated, yet they found themselves in a difficult position!
If they declared Meng He the winner, it would be unjust to Kai!
However, if they chose not to declare Meng He the winner and opted for a rematch, it would challenge the authority of Jialing County!
Still, they were being set up, and the unusual ruling was undeniable proof of this manipulation!
“Elder Suo, think back; perhaps there was something wrong with the tea we drank,” Kai suggested to Elder Suo.
When Suo Xingyue heard this, she shot an angry look at Zhu Zhu, exclaiming, “Zhu Zhu, did you tamper with our tea?”
“Master, what are you talking about? I have no idea what you mean!” Zhu Zhu feigned innocence, shaking her head.
Kai regarded Zhu Zhu, realizing she was defiant and unrepentant!
“Let’s put the matter of poisoning aside for now. How should we proceed with announcing the results?”
The elderly man asked, his brow furrowed in concern.
He was uncertain whether they should announce the results at all!
