"Okay, you ask the questions." Lou Qianxue retracted her gaze and looked at Master Huo seriously and calmly.
Master Huo also instantly became serious: "Okay, then let me ask you, if the alchemy fails and the furnace is about to explode, how many countermeasures can an ordinary alchemist have?"
Lou Qianxue frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Master Huo sneered, "What can an alchemist like you who hasn't even registered his identity know? I only asked you the simplest questions, and you don't even know the answer. How dare you discuss alchemy with me? Little girl, it seems that you are destined to be my medicine slave."
Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him: "How do you know I can't answer it?"
"Then tell me, how many types?"
"It's a bit hard to say the answer to this. From complexity to simplicity, the simplest questions are often the most difficult. Compared to my own answer, I am actually more curious about Master Huo's answer. Master Huo, how many countermeasures do you have?"
"Are you going to admit defeat? Humph, alchemist, everyone knows that there are five ways to deal with an explosion. Little girl, did you see that? This is the difference between an alchemist who comes from a poor background and an alchemist with a master. If you figure it out on your own, you will never be as good as an alchemist with a master's guidance... So, do you regret refusing to take me as your master?"
"No." Lou Qianxue shook her head with a smile: "Master Huo, if I come up with six countermeasures, do I win this question?"
"Six?" Master Huo was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and sneered, "Are you dreaming, little girl? There have always been only five ways to deal with a furnace explosion. How could there be a sixth one?"
"Then I'll tell you." Lou Qianxue smiled and began to talk about the countermeasures slowly.
After saying six, he didn't stop: "As for the seventh countermeasure, it should be... Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, six will do. How about it, Master Huo, do you think the six countermeasures I mentioned are all reasonable?"
Master Huo's eyes were wide open, staring at Lou Qianxue in a daze, as if he hadn't heard what she said at all.
"Master Huo?" Lou Qianxue called again.
Master Huo came back to his senses and took a breath: "Little girl, tell me the truth, do you have a very powerful master behind you? What level of alchemy is your master? Sixth level? Or seventh level?"
Lou Qianxue shook her head: "That's off topic. I just asked you, was I right about the question just now?"
Master Huo's old face showed a bitter smile: "Yes, of course you are right. Among the six methods you mentioned, three are unheard of by me, but I can't think of any reason to refute them... Little girl, tell me the truth, how many methods do you know?"
Lou Qianxue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "It seems that it is my turn to ask questions."
"… "
Soon, half an hour passed.
Lou Qianxue's delicate and beautiful little face was as calm and composed as ever. No matter what the question was, she was confident and at ease when answering it.
But Master Huo looked pale and was sweating profusely.
He had a sad face, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, and kept muttering something to himself.
"This question should be... No, it shouldn't be like this, it should be like that, no no no, it's not right either..."
finally…
He lowered his shoulders like a defeated rooster, and his whole body slumped down. He looked at Lou Qianxue with a complicated expression and sighed, "Forget it, I admit defeat. Just tell me the answer."
After Lou Qianxue told him the answer, he suppressed the sadness in his heart and said self-deprecatingly, "I am a fourth-level alchemist, but I was speechless because of a little girl like you who didn't even register as an alchemist... If I tell this to others, I'm afraid no one will believe it, but this is the fact. Do you think this is fair?"
It's ridiculous. Before this, he had been brazenly asking this little girl to be his apprentice. With this little girl's level, she was more than qualified to be his master...
