Ming Zhi Tian was stunned at first, and without much thought, reached out and grasped it.
Yin Qian Zhen's lips curved slightly. She suddenly stood up, raising Ming Zhi Tian's hand: "Hey, someone here received an invitation but dares not participate. Arrest him."
"......" Ming Zhi Tian felt speechless. What was this all about? As expected, trouble always found him.
Yin Fu frowned, grabbing Yin Qian Zhen's arm, and questioned, "Where did you get an alchemist's invitation?"
Yin Qian Zhen said smugly, "I bought it. So what? I just want to embarrass him."
"Zhen Zhen, you're being too reckless," Yin Fu said, intending to reprimand her.
At this moment, Meng Qi, accompanied by five referees, personally walked over: "What's going on?"
One of the referees said, "The dignified Sheng Dan Lie Hui cannot tolerate any disturbance. What do you mean by having an alchemy invitation? If this referee finds anyone disregarding the rules, they will not be spared."
Yin Qian Zhen held Ming Zhi Tian's hand high, revealing a black and red folded invitation in his palm:
"Everyone, look quickly! He privately possesses an alchemy invitation and disregards the alchemy rules. You must know that anyone who receives an alchemy invitation distributed by the Alchemist Guild must participate in the triennial Sheng Dan Lie Hui. He is hiding like this. Esteemed referees, Vice President Meng, what crime should he be punished with?"
A referee said, "The lightest penalty is to wash alchemy furnaces for a month, and the heaviest is to be deprived of the right to practice alchemy for three years!"
Ming Zhi Tian was very helpless. Yin Qian Zhen had pretended to offer him a handshake to get close, and then forcefully thrust it into his hand. However, he was not an alchemist, so even if they forced him to refine pills, it would be of no use.
Yin Qian Zhen added fuel to the fire: "Everyone has seen it with their own eyes. The invitation is in your hand, and now that I've reported it, do you still want to deny it?"
Ming Zhi Tian was speechless. Suddenly, there was a movement in his storage bag. Ming Zhi Tian listened with his ear: "What? You can refine pills?"
Meng Qi looked at the unresponsive Ming Zhi Tian, feeling that he was disrespecting the Alchemist Guild. He couldn't stand it anymore: "Tell me, young man, whose descendant are you? You're so ignorant. Since you've accepted the invitation, you should attend the competition. Being timid and unambitious, do you want to shame us alchemists?"
The scene erupted in a commotion, with people pointing and murmuring: "Exactly, exactly..."
Ming Zhi Tian looked at the red and black invitation in his hand. He wished he could throw it away, but this was the so-called "face" of their alchemists. If he threw it away, wouldn't it be slapping their faces?
He still wanted to argue: "Will you believe me if I say I'm not an alchemist?"
A referee with a fiery temper turned red with anger: "Absurd!"
From not believing at first to now, they were completely convinced that Ming Zhi Tian had accepted the participation invitation but refused to attend, disregarding laws and regulations, and tarnishing the reputation of alchemists!
Meng Qi said, "I guarantee in the name of the Vice President of the Alchemist Guild that every alchemy invitation is delivered to an alchemist's hand, and there is no room for error. Are you saying I, the Vice President, have slandered you? Do you mean I have to force a competition invitation into your hands even if you are not an alchemist?"
Ming Zhi Tian was immediately berated by the crowd again: "Exactly, exactly..." pointing fingers and murmuring...
The referee said, "Which family's descendant are you? Don't you understand the rules? Don't waste the Sheng Dan Lie Hui's time. Many people are waiting for awards."
Another referee said, "Now you have two choices: either immediately refine pills, of course, you won't have much time. Or, accept the punishment and pay for your arrogance."
