Just as everyone thought that Master Tianhe was going to make things difficult for Su Qian, he suddenly smiled. “Miss Su, should I go and test the elixir now?”
His tone was rather respectful as if he were asking Su Qian. It seemed that he would immediately stop testing the elixir if Su Qian shook her head…
Ancestor Su immediately had an expression as if he had eaten a fly.
What was going on? Master Tianhe actually took the initiative to greet Su Qian?
Although Master Tianhe had a good temper, would he lower his status like this?
Su Qian nodded lightly. “Go ahead.”
Master Tianhe was not angry at all after being ordered around. Instead, he smiled and went to test the elixir.
Ancestor Su couldn’t care less about Master Tianhe’s att.i.tude. When he saw Master Tianhe pour the elixir out of the bottle, he raised his head arrogantly. “Master Tianhe, please tell everyone whether my elixir is real or fake!”
Thinking that he would soon be able to see Su Qian begging for mercy on her knees, Ancestor Su was overjoyed. The breath that had been stuck in his throat was finally released!
The crowd knew the answer without even having to listen. They immediately looked away in boredom. Unexpectedly, after Master Tianhe looked at the elixir, his expression changed and he threw the elixir on the table coldly. “It’s fake.”
Ancestor Su’s laughter stopped abruptly. He was like a hen whose neck had been strangled. He immediately turned his head and stared at Master Tianhe in disbelief.
“Fake? Master Tianhe, are you sure?” First Elder was equally shocked. One had to know that they really needed the Dragon Flame Elixir now!
“Naturally. Although this elixir looks like a fifth-grade elixir, it was a counterfeit covered in a paper sh.e.l.l. If you don’t believe me, take a look…” As Master Tianhe spoke, he crushed the elixir’s sh.e.l.l.
The crowd was in an uproar. After the Dragon Flame Elixir’s gem-like outer sh.e.l.l was peeled off, the pitch-black inner core was revealed.
“A true fifth-grade elixir is as hard as iron and can only be split open when consumed. Your Su family is cunning. I don’t know where you found an outer sh.e.l.l, but you actually stuffed a pill made of mud into it to pa.s.s off as a fifth-grade elixir. You are so heartless.” Master Tianhe threw the mud ball on the ground in disgust.
“This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!” Ancestor Su’s legs went weak. He raised his hand and pointed at Su Qian’s nose as he scolded, “You vile woman. It was you who did this to me, right?!”
“You Su family is high and mighty. 1 don’t dare to have anything to do with you, lest you accuse me of trying to climb up the social ladder.” Su Qian said disapprovingly.
“Ancestor Su, what are you talking about?” Gu Qingyou stared coldly at Ancestor Su. “Are you saying that our auction house colluded with Miss Su? Then you can pick up the mud ball and see if it’s a fake!”
“No, that’s not what I mean.” Ancestor Su was completely fl.u.s.tered. He didn’t know what was going on. He knelt on the ground and picked up the deformed mud ball. With a pinch of his hand, the mud ball turned into a piece of mud and was crushed by him. “This is impossible, this is impossible!”
“What a Su family, you have such nerve.” The First Elder’s face was red with anger. He wished he could rush up and kick Ancestor Su. “What do you take our Blood Demon Pavilion for? How dare you use mud b.a.l.l.s to pa.s.s off as a fifth-grade elixir to deceive us? How dare you!”
The terrifying aura around the First Elder forced the Su family’s ancestor extremely anxious. He wanted to deny it, but everyone’s curses came from below the stage..
