Chapter 650: Chapter 652: The Wanted Order Has Been Discovered


    After Steward Feng finished speaking, Nn Chenxi looked at Elder Wang: “Elder Wang, what do you think?”


    Elder Wang nced at Lin Zhen and weighed his thoughts. In his opinion, Lin Zhen was young and could not possibly be an alchemist.


    Even if he was, he might just be a First Grade apprentice or a Second Grade Alchemist at best – not worth mentioning.


    Moreover, Liang Chen firmly stood by this side, and they were all in the same boat, so they had to advance or retreat together.


    So he said firmly: “I believe Lin Zhen must be a fraud.”


    Nn Chenxi sighed slightly and looked at Lin Zhen: “Mr. Lin Zhen, do you have anything to say?”


    Lin Zhen smiled: “I have a recorded video here; let’s watch it first.”


    It was all thanks to Chris, who didn’t need Lin Zhen’smand to record valuable things. She had recorded Liang Chen and Steward Feng’s conversations and their scenes of ndering Lin Zhen.


    As the video yed, everyone’s expression changed.


    No one expected Liang Chen to conspire with Steward Feng and Elder Wang to flood the market with inferior elixirs as if they were high-quality ones.<div>


    As for Steward Feng’s method, everyone understood; it was just to have the guild sell the elixirs on their behalf, which would ruin the guild’s reputation.


    After watching the video, Nn Chenxi said expressionlessly: “Do you have any evidence for Lin Zhen’s alleged theft of medicinal materials?”


    Steward Feng’s face was ugly, but he insisted: “He’s not a guild member and sneaks around in the guild. My suspicion of him isn’t baseless. Besides, didn’t you hear that he’s pretending to be an alchemist? That’s true, isn’t it?”


    Nn Chenxi nced at Dewey nearby: “Old brother, it seems we both have poor judgment. At least in Steward Feng’s eyes, blind people believe Lin Zhen is an alchemist. Should we pluck out our eyeballs?”


    Dewey snorted coldly: “There is indeed a need to pluck out eyeballs, but absolutely not for you and me. President, it seems we’re too high above and aloof. The guild needs to be overhauled.”


    After speaking, Nn Chenxi asked Charles: “Great Elder, these are your disciples and grand-disciples. What do you think should be done?”


    Charles, who had been holding back for a long time, stepped forward without saying a word and pped Elder Wang’s face hard!


    “You despicable thing, just because you became an elder doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want! Look at the kind of person your disciple is! You must be blind as a bat to dare to denigrate Great Elder Lin Zhen in public! I think he’s grown tired of living!”


    Elder Wang was stunned by Great Elder Charles’ p and asked a momentter, “Who? Great Elder Lin Zhen?”


    “Has the announcement been issued at the front desk?” Nn Chenxi asked.


    “Yes, I saw it when I came down. Great Elder Lin Zhen’s name has been recorded and ced on the personnel list, but these people just didn’t bother to look.”


    Nn Chenxi nodded: “Lin Zhen is our newly appointed Great Elder of the Alchemist Guild, recognized by the headquarters. You guys actually ndered a Great Elder for stealing medicinal materials, which is utterly ridiculous. You didn’t even think about it when you did something wrong.”


    “He… he’s actually a Great Elder? When did this happen?” Steward Feng waspletely dumbfounded.


    Dewey also said, “The assessment of Elder Lin Zhen was personally supervised by me and the president, without any partiality. Should we reveal the content of the assessment to you? Just look at your qualifications!”


    At this moment, Charles, full of shame, came to Nn Chenxi and Dewey: “President, Vice-President, I am responsible for this matter, as I failed to teach my disciple well. Please punish me.”


    “There’s no need to punish you. Just be more careful in the future. As for them, think about their actions.”


    Charles said firmly, “These two people not only wanted to sell inferior elixirs as high-quality ones to ruin the guild’s reputation but also ndered the Great Elder, reversing right and wrong. People like them cannot stay in the guild any longer. I suggest expelling them from the guild and removing their names from the guild’s record!”


    Nn Chenxi nodded: “It’s not only about expelling them but also reporting to the headquarters to list them in the cklist. Alchemists like them will never be employed in any of the guilds in the Original World!”


    Nn Chenxi’s punishment was too severe. Losing their alchemist qualifications, they could only be dark alchemists in the future, not to be seen in the light. No guild would employ them.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om<div>


    Elder Wang and Steward Feng wanted to beg for mercy, but an impatient Charles grabbed both of them and threw them out, kicking them out of the door for good measure.


    After doing all this, Nn Chenxi faced Liang Chen.


    “Imperial Grandson, I regret what you did to tarnish the reputation of our guild. And please note that Lin Zhen is a Great Elder of our guild, and you should treat him with due respect. Now please leave.”


    Liang Chen’s face turned red and white alternately. He lost face today.<div>


    He believed the news would spread soon, and his mother would know about it. His life would be difficult again.


    Moreover, Liang Chen owed a lot of money for the batch of medicinal materials. Now that he had no alchemists to rely on, the materials were basically rotting in his hands.


    He never expected that Lin Zhen would turn out to be a Great Elder of the Alchemist Guild, a prestigious figure, not inferior to his status as an Imperial Grandson.


    Even before he ascended the throne, people might have valued the Great Elder more.


    Knowing that there were no advantages to gain, Liang Chen red at Lin Zhen fiercely and left the Alchemist Guild in a somewhat awkward manner.


    “Alright, everyone! Stop watching! Go back to your business!”


    Everyone around dispersed with excitement on their faces and had one more topic for after-dinner conversations.


    Nn Chenxi came to Lin Zhen’s side,ughing and saying, “Alright, alright, this is just a trivial matter. Don’t let it affect our mood for eating.”


    Charles also apologized to Lin Zhen with embarrassment, as he was partially responsible.


    At this moment, Dewey suddenly asked Lin Zhen, “Bro, why didn’t you reveal your identity? If you reveal your identity, they definitely won’t have the guts to nder you.”


    Lin Zhen smiled, “What if I said I did it on purpose? Would you all be satisfied with this answer?”


    The group exchanged nces and burst intoughter. This newly appointed elder seemed quite mischievous, deliberatelyying a trap for those people to fall into. It was one thing for the two alchemists, but the Imperial Grandson really took a heavy fall.


    However, Nn Chenxi still patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder, “Bro, I still want to remind you, although Liang Chen is of no consequence, he has a protective mother. Ning Qingxuan may not have married the crown prince yet, but her strength among Longevity Warriors is quite impressive. You’d better be careful.”<div>


    Lin Zhen nodded slightly and became cautious in his heart. He really didn’t want to face Ning Qingxuan. If not for anything else, once his clone was discovered, it would cause great trouble.


    *********


    After leaving the Alchemist Guild, Liang Chen returned to his residence feeling dejected.


    Lin Zhen being a great elder in the guild was something he hadn’t expected, but what mattered most to him was that his source of money had been cut off again.


    Without money for the challenges, he couldn’t retrieve the money he’d lost, which made him unable to swallow his pride.


    After pondering it over, he decided to demand money from those who had requested bounties. At first, asking for ten billion might have been a bit too much, as only a dozen or so counties were willing to pay. This time, he should screen them and select the most serious warrants, and then go to them directly for the money. The sess rate should be much higher that way, and at most, he could lower the price to five billion.


    Flicking through the pile of bounties on his desk, Liang Chen began selecting key targets.


    In the Original World, things like murder and arson are hardly regarded as serious crimes. Everyone is martial artists, and fighting is all toomon. Only those who cause serious consequences are hunted.


    “Wiping out an entire family… This one’s worth two billion.”


    “Killed the son of a mansion master… Trash issue. Come back with five billion.”


    “Stole the County Governor’s concubine… He’s actually not ashamed to put a bounty on this, not afraid of peopleughing their teeth off! Ten billion! Definitely can’t be less.”


    “Killed the president of the Medicinal Materials Guild… This one’s not worth anything.”


    Liang Chen threw the warrant aside, when suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning shed through his mind.<div>


    “Who is it!”


    He grabbed the discarded warrant, his eyes shining brightly!


    Because on that warrant were tworge words, “Lin Zhen!”


    “Am I seeing things? Is Lin Zhen actually a wanted criminal?”


    Picking up the warrant to read carefully, there was also a picture on it. With just one nce, Liang Chen was sure that it was Lin Zhen himself.


    “Wanted – Purple Gold Divine n World King Lin Zhen…”


    These words caught Liang Chen’s attention. If you only look at these words, it’s absolutely impossible for them to be the same person as Lin Zhen, even if they look identical.


    That’s because the Lin Zhen he knew was only at the Star System Stage, and definitely not a World King. Otherwise, Lin Zhen wouldn’t have been able to set up a challenge at the Star System Arena.


    But Liang Chen still believed that they were the same person because they looked so simr.


    “Investigate Lin Zhen’s background for me,” Liang ordered.


    After a while, he received a piece of information.


    Lin Zhen: From Xianle County Wood King Mansion in the New World, a Martial Artist who burst through the Heavenly Gate, current Great Elder of the Nan Liang Empire Alchemist Guild…


    There was another coincidence here. The Lin Zhen on the warrant was also from Xianle County Wood King Mansion. If it was just a case of someone having the same name anding from the same ce, it would be normal. But having the same name,ing from the same ce, and even looking identical!<div>


    Furthermore, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Lin Zhen on the warrant was also an alchemist, only that the one on the warrant was a Fifth Grade Alchemist, whereas the current one was a Sixth-grade Alchemist.


    “That’s not right! There’s no such thing as this many coincidences in the world…!”


    Liang Chen held the warrant in his hand, convinced that the man on the warrant and the current Lin Zhen were the same person.


    As for why the warrant said he was a World King, and why this Lin Zhen was a human while the other one was of the Purple Gold Divine n, he still hadn’t figured it out yet.


    In any case, there was definitely something he didn’t understand happening here.


    However, one thing seemed clear to him.


    That he had been deceived. If these two Lin Zhens were the same person, then the Star System Stage challenge arena was definitely a trap, one that lured him to pour money into it recklessly!
