Chapter 3227


    Just as Jared was about to step into the illusion array, a suddenmotion behind him interrupted


    him. “Make way, make way! Why do incapable alchemists like toe here?”


    Following the shouts, a dozen alchemists in white rushed forward, forming a path by holding hands.

    An elderly man with white hair, exuding an air of grace and dressed in a gray robe, slowly walked


    into Jubnte’s mansion. Upon seeing this elderly man, many alchemists went wild.


    “Jubnte, Jubnte…”


    “I love you, Jubnte…”


    “Jubnte, please ept me as your disciple.”


    “Jubnte, can I be your godson?” Numerous alchemists shouted, with many female alchemists


    beaming with excitement, eager to be this old man’s wife.


    Upon seeing Jubnte, Cade became somewhat breathless. He blurted out excitedly, “I never


    thought I’d see Jubnte with my own eyes. This is amazing!”


    Jubnte remained arrogantly indifferent, showing no signs of emotional change amidst the cries of


    the surrounding alchemists.


    However, when passing by a beautiful female alchemist, Jubnte would give a slight smile and


    then gently caress her face.


    Those female alchemists would tremble with excitement, some even fainting on the spot. Observing


    this scene, Jared felt a sense of déjà vu.


    This wasn’t much different from the mundane world, where major celebrities would receive simr


    adoration from fans.


    The ecstatic cheers, especially from female fans, seemed oddly familiar. However, Jared couldn’t


    understand why these beautiful female alchemists were so infatuated with this old man. Jubnte


    seemed too old for such attention.


    As Jared remained in Jubnte’s mansion, one alchemist chided, “What are you doing? Make way!”


    Jared remained silent and was about to make way when Jubnte noticed him. Frowning, Jubnte


    remarked, “You’re so young, yet you’re here for the assessment. No wonder there’s such a


    commotion at the entrance of my residence. In the future, young alchemists like you are not allowed


    to take the test. Do you take my home for a market where anyone can juste in and take the


    assessment?”


    After saying this, Jubnte signaled to a white- robed alchemist beside him. The alchemist instantly


    understood and shouted at Jared, “Leave immediately. You’re not qualified for the assessment!”


    “Why not? Why do young people not have the right to take the assessment?” Jared asked,


    furrowing his brows.


    The white-robed alchemist retorted angrily, “There is no reason. If we say you can’t, you can’t. How


    dare you defy me?”


    Cade stepped forward to exin, “Jubnte, the Seizon family invited this alchemist here. He wants


    to buy some mystical herbs from you, so he has to take the assessment.”


    Jubnte coldly nced at Cade, then waved his hand, signaling the white-robed alchemist to step


    back.


    “Out of respect for the Seizon family, I’ll let him take the test once. But it’s futile as he won’t pass.”


    With that, Jubnte continued walking forward. The white-robed alchemists, along with the female


    alchemists he touched earlier, followed him.


    The female alchemists seemed excited as they knew they had been selected and might be able to


    rise to sess.


    Watching these excited female alchemists, Jared couldn’t help feeling a bit sad. They were just


    ythings to Jubnte. Once he had enough, they would be discarded. They thought they could


    change their fate and rise to the top, but it was nothing but aughable notion.


    Although Jared couldn’t help but scorn Jubnte, he found himselfpelled to endure the


    assessment. After all, he still needed those mystical herbs from Jubnte. “Such behavior, and yet


    he still receives everyone’s respect. Truly eye-opening.”


    This mutteredment from Jared caught the attention of Jubnte, who had originally been


    leaving.
