Chapter 231: Failed (1)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Wu Gouyue caught a glimpse of Nalan Tianwu, and said to Nalan Xing teasingly, “Old man, I guess your granddaughter is overconfident of herself. She is still not proficient in refining level six potions and already tries to make level six ones. Does she really think it is so easy?”

Nalan Xing snorted, “Don’t bother! It’s not one or two times Tianwu has successfully refined level six potions!”

Hearing his words, other judges all cast their jealous eyes at him.

Wu Gouyue sat there, legs crossed, “But this is a competition. Everyone only got three chances. If your granddaughter fails again, she may not be able to rank top ten, let alone the second place. At that time, I’m afraid my only comment would be ‘go for wool and come home shorn’.”

Nalan Xing gave Wu Gouyue a filthy look, “Wu Gouyue, are you done? If you are done, just shut up your mouth!”

Wu Gouyue smiled slightly, saying with an easy tone, “Fine, fine. I’ll shut up. But old man, even if I keep my mouth shut, your granddaughter may still not be able to make it.”

Nalan Xing gave Wu Gouyue a hard look and ignored her.

The success rate of Nalan Tianwu refining level six potions was already low enough. Plus two failures just now, one could imagine the great pressure she was under. Seeing other contestants finish theirs one after another, Nalan Tianwu became quite anxious.

When Wang Jia who also failed two times finally successfully refined her level five potion, on the stage Nalan Tianwu was left alone.

Now all contestants’ eyes fell on Nalan Tianwu. Feeling those people’s eyes nailing on her, Nalan Tianwu became more restless.

Looking at Nalan Tianwu like that, the judge Nalan Xing suddenly had some kind of bad feeling. And as expected, Nalan Tianwu still failed the third time.

Seeing that, everyone on the stage made boos and hisses.

Nalan Tianwu was supposed to the hottest candidate for the champion. But due to her failure, she also slid down to a very awkward position on the list.

Watching Nalan Xing’s frustrated expression, Wu Gouyue felt overjoyed, but this time she didn’t add insult to the injury.

Nalan Tianwu face turned pale, while some contestants around all looked at her with a strange look, some even exposing gloating feeling.

Seeing that, Nalan Xing’s face became more twisted. Nalan Tianwu had always been a proud girl. This result was a totally deadly blow to her.

The audience always chase after the winner. Even though Nalan Tianwu was the hottest candidate for the champion, now in everyone’s eyes she was just another loser.

Lou Feng gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and finally suppressed his disappointment in the heart.

Yan Chen shook his head helplessly, “What a pity! If Nalan Tianwu chose to refine a level five potion, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

Mo Yi sneered, “She only has herself to blame!”

Zheng Xuan looked at Mo Fei, with a suspicious light flashing in his eyes, but soon it was gone.

Lou Yu cast a glance at Lou Feng wearing a gloomy face, thinking while rubbing his fingers, “I’ll be always in a passive position if things go on like this. I should take the initiative. If I just defend, he’d already take a tiger as a sickly cat!”

Mo Fei who won the competition was surrounded by a lot of people and after quite some time could he get himself out of it.

In the palace

Bang! Nalan Yue smashed the porcelain on the table to the ground. Now Nalan Yue’s bedroom had been in a total mess.

“My lady, please calm down. Please stop smashing thing.” begged the maid.

Nalan Yue said with a darkened face, “Lou Yu that son of bitch! Now he got a chance to rise again! I really should have silenced him that year!”

“My lady, please don’t be mad. Take care of yourself.”

Nalan Yue clenched her fists, with dense anger on her face, “Don’t be mad? How can I not be mad?”

She had placed great expectations on Nalan Tianwu. Her niece should have won the first place. But this Mo Fei came from nowhere. The angrier thing was it was she who had appointed him to Lou Yu!

On thinking of Mo Fei, Nalan Yue couldn’t help grinding her teeth. Though Lou Feng never complained before her, Nalan Yue knew he would put the blame all on her.

She meant to find a pain in the ass for Lou Yu, but it turned out that she had found such a good partner for him! Since he had married with Mo Fei, Lou Yu had had his moments and everything was so smooth!

No one didn’t say she had been so insightful to have picked such a talented wife for Prince Yu. Only god knows this Mo Fei who was said to be a good-for-nothing on Starwebsite turned out to be like this!

Nalan Yue heaved a sigh. This competition was a big blow for Nalan Tianwu. She was the most outstanding one among the young generation of Nalan family who had a very promising future. But after this match, she’d have a knot in her heart. If this knot could not be unlocked, she could never made breakthrough on pharmacy.

“My lady, my lady, bad news!” a maid hurried in anxiously.

“What’s going on? Just say it!” asked Nalan Yue coldly.

“When the prince came back, he got ambushed and severely injured.” said the maid, jittering.

Nalan Yue was surprised, eyes wide open, “You mean Lou Feng? My Lou Feng? What happened to him?”

“The imperial doctors have gotten him checked, saying…”
