Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

"Hypocrite," Lin Xueyin would definitely say this immediately if she were here. Her sinister face beneath her blond hair always gives people the feeling of Yue Buqun.

"Hmph, Farna, are you saying I can tell whether someone is a good alchemist or not?"

"Hahaha, I say, Yusu, do you really think things are still the same as they were back then?" The man called Farna waved his hand behind him, and the man who had invited Lin Xueyin over yesterday and had been scolded by Yusu appeared in everyone's sight.

"It's you?"

"What, you know him? If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't know who you, this old stubborn man, would recommend to take the exam. But I'm sorry, I set the exam questions this time."

Unconsciously frowning, Yu Su had a bad feeling; this matter might not be as simple as she thought.

"The exam questions are like Frostfire Potion."

The moment the test questions appeared, Yusu's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, filled with shock and even anger. How could this person treat an examination so lightly? This was to add new blood to the entire Alchemist Guild; how dare he do such a thing?

Seeing Yusoo's appearance, Aria realized that things were not as simple as she had thought. She looked at Irabelle, whose face had turned ashen, her eyes filled with panic.

"Irabell, what exactly is this...?"

"Frost Frenzy Potion is a high-level potion. Its high requirements for preparation and the danger of the preparation process are vastly different from ordinary potions."

As if explaining to Aria, or perhaps comforting herself, Yusu continued.

"This potion combines the power of frost with a berserk potion through alchemy, so that when a warrior is in a berserk state, every attack he makes will have the attribute of frost."

This is a very powerful potion. You should know that a single berserk potion can increase a warrior's combat power several times over. If you add frost attribute attacks, it's like increasing combat power exponentially.

"It's impressive, but because some materials are added to the berserk potion during the preparation process, the various elements within the potion become extremely unstable throughout the entire alchemy process, so..."

"So it's very easy for it to explode. Once it happens, it's as powerful as a localized explosive fireball. If Yukine didn't know how potent this drug was, she could easily..." Irabel trailed off, unable to finish Yusoo's sentence.

Upon hearing this, Ailiya realized the crisis Lin Xueyin was facing, and her beautiful eyes were now filled with panic.

"In that case, we can just not participate, right? That should be fine, right? Master Yusu, please tell us quickly, Xueyin isn't participating, it's alright if she doesn't participate."

She clung tightly to Master Yusu's collar, only to see him shake his head helplessly. On the other side, Irabel, whom she considered her last hope, also shook her head in despair.

Her eyes gradually lost focus, and she muttered something to herself, "It can't stop, and it's so dangerous. Xueyin, you asked me to come here to keep you company, just so I could come here to collect your corpse?"

"Yusu, you're vying with me for the guild's vice president position. Let's see what you have to offer now. The person you recommended is here, and he blew up the entire testing room. Let's see how those who support you will continue to support you."

"Falna, just for the position of vice president, you're going to watch a promising alchemist die? How do you deserve to be the vice president?"

The originally irritable old man calmed down as he looked at the tightly closed door. He never imagined that a young girl in the prime of her life would be killed on the spot because of a worthless position.

With victory firmly in his grasp, the petty man, having achieved his goal, looked smugly at the old man who had been competing with him for half his life. At this moment, he felt incredibly pleased with himself; he had won, and won in a way that would ensure the old man could never recover.

"Kid, you did a great job. Come to me tomorrow and become my apprentice."

Listening to their conversation and seeing Aria, whose face was already streaked with tears, Irabel forcefully suppressed the tears welling up in her eyes and stared at the two people with a cold gaze.

“If anything happens to Lin Xueyin, even if I give up my position as the princess of the empire, you will definitely pay the price.”

The threat from the imperial princess, a threat that even disregarded his own status, seemed utterly laughable before this powerful alchemist.

"Suit yourself. I don't think His Majesty would fall out with our Alchemy Society for the sake of a daughter. After all, our existence is still very useful to him. As for you, I look forward to your revenge."

Her fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, but Irabel, forcing herself to remain calm, simply smiled coldly. "You'll know when the time comes."

Volume Two, Academy Chapter: Chapter Twenty-One - The exam questions were quite easy.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she sensed the tense atmosphere. Lin Xueyin walked to Ailiya's side with a bewildered look and saw that Ailiya went from being indignant to overjoyed in just a second.

"Yukine, it really is you, Yukine, you're still alive, that's wonderful."

Although Lin Xueyin, who was being held tightly in Ailiya's arms, was enjoying the warm and soft touch of the beautiful woman, the words she was being spoken left her speechless.

What do you mean by "You're still alive?" I just took a test, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it? Why do they all have the same expression?

The examiner who handed him the test questions and then went to a separate room for tea also looked utterly horrified and dejected after learning that he had successfully completed the test.

Then, they came out, and so did they. Irabel looked relieved, but what was up with Aria? She looked like she was welcoming her husband back from the battlefield.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Completely baffled, Lin Xueyin was utterly confused when she saw You Su looking at her with the eyes of someone who had just escaped a disaster, and speaking to her in a tone that was completely out of character for his volatile personality, speaking gently (and effeminately).

"Girl, it's okay. It's just a test. If you didn't pass, you didn't pass. It's not a big deal. I can always recommend you next time."

"Next time, next time when I'm already the vice president, do you think the person you recommend might..."

"Excuse me, Master You Su, how did you know we had taken the exam..." Lin Xueyin hadn't finished speaking when she heard a heart-wrenching scream from inside. This forced her to swallow her words.

"My goodness, this, this, this is a Frost Frenzy Potion! And someone just casually concocted it like this! My goodness, how are we supposed to live with this?"

"You...you did it? You successfully configured it?" He stared in astonishment at the completely bewildered people, as if he were from a completely different dimension.

Irabell pulled Lin Xueyin, who was lost in Aria's magnificent embrace, away. Irabell's face showed a mixture of joy and displeasure, making Lin Xueyin feel uneasy.

"Irabell, um, what's wrong? I see you all acting a bit strange, well, how should I put it."

Taking a long, deep breath, Irabelle looked at the somewhat timid girl and a rare smile bloomed on her face. Although it only lasted for a blink of an eye, it left Lin Xueyin speechless.

"What are you looking at, little girl?"

"Huh? I'm not a little girl, I'm about your age." Rubbing her head where she'd been tapped, Lin Xueyin looked at the princess again, only to find that the captivating smile from before was once again masked by a cold expression. Indeed, fleeting beauty is what people look forward to most.

"Irabelle, actually, you have a beautiful smile. Try to smile more next time, it really is... Okay, never mind what I said."

He raised his hand as if a primary school student were speaking, then turned his head away with a pout, focusing his attention back on Master Yusu, who was observing his alchemical creations around the examiner, and another unfamiliar figure.

"It's done! It's really done! This... this really was done by her, that woman?" Farna asked incredulously, still unable to believe that something that seemed so certain could suddenly turn out this way.

"Hey, woman, who did you ask to do this for you? And who let you bring the drug into the testing room?"

As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Yusu, causing the already volatile alchemist's temper to explode once again.

Of course, it wasn't just Yusu who was unhappy; the proctor on the other side was also in a bad mood. Before Master Yusu could even erupt in anger, he had already turned his gun on Falna, who was also a master.

"You were the one who asked me to come here to test this child, and you didn't even tell me the test questions. Now, you're here questioning my professional ethics. Farna, do you really think you can control everything in this Alchemy Guild?"

Thinking about the child's test questions, I broke out in a cold sweat. I knew that one wrong move could blow the entire testing room to smithereens. Even with the protective partitions, I would still be seriously injured, and it could even ruin my future.

Under these circumstances, how could he possibly still have any goodwill towards this culprit? At this moment, he even dared to suspect that he had cheated with Yusu and this little girl. It seems that Farna has forgotten his true identity.

"Even if you are a strong contender for vice president now, you are not yet vice president. Moreover, even if you become vice president, take a good look at where you are. Although the Alchemy Guild has a president and vice president, due to its special nature, none of you will have any real power."

He snorted and came to Lin Xueyin's side, looking at the bewildered girl who seemed to have no idea what the potion she had made represented.

"Congratulations, little girl, you've successfully passed the recommendation process. Due to the special nature of this potion, I will report this to my superiors to give you the correct job placement, and of course, to ensure you receive justice."

He emphasized the word "fairness" heavily, his gaze sweeping over the cold-sweat-covered Farna after hearing those words, before he chuckled and turned to leave.

Having already sensed that something was amiss, Lin Xueyin turned her attention to You Su. Seeing that he had also come back to his senses from his alchemical creation, she spoke up.

"Master, what's wrong with this Frost Frenzy Potion? Is there a problem? I think this is a pretty simple problem; it's just mixing the potions. Is there some special issue?"

Seeing the horrified look in his eyes, Lin Xueyin looked down at herself. There seemed to be nothing wrong with her. "This time the test questions aren't about Flame Frenzy Potion and Thunder Frenzy Potion. Those two are a bit more troublesome. I think this one is fine."

Listen to what you've heard. What do you mean by "there's a special problem"? What do you mean by "this question is quite simple"? What do you mean by "it's pretty good"? You've never even heard of those Flame Frenzy Potions and Thunder Frenzy Potions, and you think they're a bit troublesome. But this Frost Frenzy Potion, which is difficult to prepare even on the first try, you think is pretty simple.

"Um, Yukine, let's go celebrate your success in becoming an alchemist. I remember there's Komilia dragon meat available in the dorm cafeteria today."

Before the alchemy master's pipe burst, Aria and Irabelle exchanged a glance, covered Lin Xueyin's mouth, and dragged her away from where she was about to continue speaking.

From afar, a furious roar could be heard coming from inside: "What the hell is Komilian dragon meat? Is that something you can eat in the dorm cafeteria? All of you, get over here! I promise I won't kill you!"

Volume Two: The Academy Chapter Twenty-Two: The Prince on the Black Horse

A week has passed since Lin Xueyin took the alchemist test, and during this week, the outside world has been buzzing with the existence of this suddenly appearing high-level priest and alchemy master.

As for what was said before, such as severe punishment, it now seems like a joke. All the nobles are watching these nobles who previously jumped up to cause trouble, seeing their attitude make a complete 180-degree turn.

"Ugh, Irabelle, I'm not seeing anyone anymore, never again." Lying in bed, Lin Xueyin, unable to get up, made the Ice Princess by the bedside reveal a smile that she wanted to laugh but dared not.

"Yukine, you're like this..."

"I don't want to go out, I'm never going out again." Thinking back to a few days ago, the day after I finished my test, these nobles started inviting me like crazy. Thinking that I could use them to find Nana, I went anyway.

However, besides showering me with gifts, this group of people kept talking about how outstanding and dashing their children and grandchildren were. If it weren't for politeness, I would have slapped them long ago.

Your children and grandchildren are outstanding and dashing, what does that have to do with me, Lin Xueyin? And what about being devoted in love? Bullshit! Do you really think you're some kind of idiot? If you rich kids were truly devoted, there probably wouldn't be any mistresses.

"Whoa, Irabelle, what are you doing..." Lin Xueyin sat up with a wry smile, looking in horror at the girl who was pulling back her blanket.

"Arya, you're going to give me a cold."

That's right, it wasn't Princess Irabell who lifted Lin Xueyin's blanket. As an imperial princess, although she was always cold and expressionless, it was difficult for her to do something as impolite as lifting someone's blanket.

The one who pulled back her blanket was her own good friend, Aria. Seeing her dressed in a formal suit, she knew that something was waiting for her again.

Recalling her recent ordeal, Lin Xueyin looked at her friend with teary eyes, pleading for leniency. This woman was utterly reckless; she hadn't wanted to go, and the friend had carried her out of the room in a princess carry. If she hadn't been worried about the consequences, she would never have gotten out so easily. Wait, no, she was worried about the consequences and had managed to wriggle out of her arms.

"So you expect me to carry you out of here?"

"Ugh, Arya, you can't be so domineering. Where did you hide that gentle girl from back then? You're definitely not the real Arya. Ugh, I'm sorry, I'll get up now."

Seeing her raise an eyebrow, seemingly deciding to stop arguing and instead put her words into action, with her handsome eyes looking at him expectantly, Lin Xueyin immediately chose to bow down to the evil forces.

"Seriously, now I have no reason to hug you."

Seeing Lin Xueyin hurriedly put on her clothes and sit in front of the dressing table tidying up her long, golden hair that had been disheveled from her earlier movements, Irabelle subconsciously said something that made her very concerned.

"Hmph, you think you're so tough? If you're so capable, why don't you fight Irabelle?" As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a chill run down her spine. Lin Xueyin decisively tied her hair into a long, high ponytail as quickly as possible.

"Yukino, I heard you want me to fight Aria?" But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun the few steps behind him.

Her arms easily encircled Lin Xueyin's soft waist, which she had just tied up. With a fragrance like that of a secluded orchid in a valley, she whispered softly in her ear.

However, those soft, gentle words sounded like death knells to Lin Xueyin's ears. She could even hear the cracking sound as she turned her head, only to be turned back by the other person.

"Yukine, don't be too nervous, I'm not going to eat you."

"Well, you're not going to eat me, but the way you are is already terrifying, okay?" With her back to Irabelle, completely unaware of Irabelle's expression, Lin Xueyin felt her heart pounding.

"Hurry up, Yukine, His Highness is already waiting for you downstairs."

"prince?"

"what?"

Two more surprised voices reached Aria's ears, making her a little puzzled. "I can understand if Yukine doesn't know, but Your Highness, how could you not know?"

With a surprised expression, Irabel hurried to the window of her room. Through the bright window, she saw a man dressed in black clothes, black armor, and a black cloak riding a very familiar black horse. Apart from his white face and blond hair, he was indeed completely black.
