"Elder Horst is the one in charge today. You're from the inner regions, so you probably don't know him that well. Instead of chatting around with me here, why don't you try to learn more about Elder Horst."
Those words successfully stopped Mr. Constance from saying more. He shot a deep look at the vice treasurer before he dismissed himself, bringing the two students away.
However, the student that stood in front suddenly shot Fane and the others a cold and dark look before they left.
The student’s eyes lingered on Fane the longest. Fane had naturally felt it, so he raised his head and look back with a calm gaze. The student let out a cold snort before he turned away, ignoring everyone.
Once the three of them had left, the vice treasurer finally relaxed his tense face. He had almost lost control of the anger in his heart.
"That bastard only knows to chirp on in front of me. It looks like they've come prepared. The two brats behind him are definitely strong. Otherwise, he would not have been so pleased with himself!"
After saying that, the vice treasurer's face frosted over. His frown was incredibly deep and his heart was full of worry.
He could not help but turn to look at the disciples behind him. Other than Fane being so outstanding, the other two were only above average.
He had thought that the three disciples he brought would certainly be accepted by the alliance. Yet, it seemed that the alliance had their own plans. He had been too naive.
"What is the alliance planning?!" he shouted out in frustration.
Gilbert and Andrew frowned. Even though the vice treasurer did not say anything, they could tell what he was thinking from his expression.
Gilbert did not think he was any weaker than anyone else. In fact, he felt that his talent was outstanding. Even though there were so many people present, none of them were a threat to him.
He looked over with a serious expression and said," Vice treasurer, don't worry. Even though Mr.
Constance really does seem prepared, we're no weaklings either.
"The guys behind Mr. Constance must have learned the Way of the Pill just like I have. Yet, you should know as well, it's not that easy to train the Way of the Pill. Even if that guy is strong, he must still be comparable to me!"
The vice treasurer pursed his lips and replied, "Don't be overconfident. After all, you haven't learned the Way of the Pill for that long. Look at how pleased that guy was. If he weren't confident, he would not have acted that way. He's clearly waiting to stomp on me."
Gilbert had on a sour expression and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Andrew. "What is the alliance planning? Are they trying to pick out the most outstanding student among everyone here? Vice treasurer, how many do you think the alliance will want?"
The vice treasurer sighed and thought for a bit before saying, "I can't say. They will at least want twenty, or they wouldn't be doing everything in such a grand manner. It's just some students. Recruiting twenty in one go shouldn't be that hard."
Fane frowned before he suddenly said, "You actually thought that the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance only notified Heavenly Pills. It must be because the news hasn't been spread out."
