Chapter 440: 440 She Is Not My Granddaughter

440 She Is Not My Granddaughter

Why was his granddaughter by that young man’s side?

Also, why was she looking at him like that? What was the relationship between the two of them?

Si Yuming’s grandfather was confused. His granddaughter had left home to explore and find inspiration for her alchemy.

How did she suddenly end up here? Furthermore, from her expression, he could tell that she respected this young man.

Was there something between them?

Knowing his granddaughter, only excellence in alchemy could make her respect someone.

Was this guy actually capable?

While he was in a daze, a call came from a friend of his who was also a fifth-level alchemist.

The person on the other end of the line said with a sigh, “The youngsters these days are really something else. In just a few days, this kid went from being a first-level alchemist to being a third-level alchemist.”

“Now he’s even taking the fourth-level assessment. Do you think he’ll be able to pass?”

When the old man heard his friend say this, he temporarily calmed down, and he replied, “The fourth-level assessment is much more difficult than the previous assessments. If you think about it clearly, you should know the answer.”

“Unless he’s someone’s disciple, it’s impossible to pass such a difficult assessment.”

“Behind every fourth-level alchemist, there is definitely a fifth-level alchemist.”

“This is common knowledge.”

“Thus, if he can pass the assessment today, then there’s definitely someone behind him.”

The old man’s tone became very emotional when he said this.

He had never seen his daughter display such an expression. She even looked somewhat unfamiliar to him now.

His granddaughter had never even looked at her own grandfather in that manner, and he was a fifth-level alchemist.

That made him feel a little sad.

His friend suddenly said, “Old friend, if I’m not mistaken, that seems to be your granddaughter on the live broadcast just now. Is it really Yuming?”

The old man felt a little embarrassed when he heard that.

Then, he sheepishly said, “How could she be my granddaughter? My granddaughter is still at home. That’s just a person who looks similar to my granddaughter. I mistook her at first as well, but now I’m sure that she is not my granddaughter. Don’t be mistaken.”

His old friend nodded in a daze.

“I see. Now that you mentioned it, it doesn’t seem like your granddaughter. Yuming is obsessed with alchemy, so there’s no way she would be looking at a third-level alchemist like that.”

After hearing this, the old man nodded awkwardly as he said, “Yes, yes, yes, you’re right!”

“The world really is a big place, huh. There’s someone out there who looks identical to my granddaughter. This is really interesting, hahahahaha.”

The old man was so embarrassed that he was struggling to find words to say.

Then, while the two of them were casually chatting, Yuchi’s assessment officially began.

Of course, it was not just the old man and his friend who was watching. There were many other alchemists tuning in.

The minimum requirement to watch the fourth-level assessment was that one had to be a third-level alchemist. It would be a waste of time for weaker alchemists to watch it, as they would not understand what was going on.

Furthermore, it might affect their comprehension of alchemy, so it was better to forbid them from watching.

There were already more than 1,000 alchemists in the live broadcast room.

Right now, these alchemists were also discussing this assessment among themselves.

Comments would also pop up on the comments section from time to time.

“It’s been a long time since we last saw someone pass the fourth-level assessment.”

“Yes, it’s been more than six years since the last one.”

“The difficulty of fourth-level assessment is something else.”

“Thinking back to when I took it, I was so stressed out and couldn’t sleep for days before the assessment. It was truly a nerve-wracking experience.”

“I wonder if this kid will be able to pass the test this time.”

“The probability is not that high, but there’s at least a 10% chance I think.”

“Wait, do you really believe that this kid has mastered what it takes to become a fourth-level alchemist in three short days?”

“That’s absurd!”

Naturally, there were only a few people who publicly expressed their opinions.

Silence was always the majority.

The silent audience watching this assessment were filled with curiosity. If Yuchi could pass the fourth-level assessment, it would be monumental!
