The alchemy conference began, and many alchemists gathered in the main hall. Basically, all the alchemists who did not have time on their hands came here to listen to the teachings of the alchemy seniors and participate in the subsequent alchemy discussions.
"Is everyone here?" An old man with a white beard wearing a gray alchemy robe stood on the main hall, looked around, and asked angrily.
The deacon standing aside counted the number of people, then compared it with the roster in his hand, and suddenly frowned.
"Reporting to Elder Wang, the registered disciple Fang Lin is not here." Before the deacon could speak, a person next to Ling Zhongtian stood up and said.
"Oh? As a registered disciple, you didn't come to participate in the elixir discussion conference?" When Elder Wang heard this, he immediately became unhappy.
"Old Wang, in addition to those who really can't come, there is indeed one missing disciple named Fang Lin, who is also a registered disciple designated by the master of the palace." At this time, the deacon on the side whispered to Elder Wang.
"That's unreasonable!" Elder Wang said. He is a very senior old man in Zhenbei Hall. He is very knowledgeable in alchemy. He rarely comes to attend alchemy conferences on weekdays. But whenever he comes to preach and teach, no one dares not to be there to listen. Yes, but this Fang Lin actually dared not to come.
Even for registered disciples, this is a bit too arrogant. Even Ling Zhongtian and Zhu Yuntao, the geniuses from the alchemy family, are not to this extent.
At this moment, Elder Wang looked at the master of Zhenbei Hall not far away.
"May I ask the palace master, is Fang Lin your designated disciple?" Elder Wang asked directly.
The master of the Zhenbei Palace was dressed in a black dress and sat elegantly not far away. When he heard Elder Wang ask him a question, his beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "Fang Lin is indeed my designated disciple, why did Elder Wang ask like this? "
Elder Wang snorted: "As a registered disciple, Fang Lin was absent from the Alchemy Conference without any reason. This is a bit too arrogant. I think he is not worthy of the qualification of a registered disciple."
Wow!
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was a little surprised. They did not expect that Elder Wang would say such words, directly asking the Zhenbei Palace Master to deprive Fang Lin of his status as a registered disciple.
If he was really deprived, then Fang Lin would become a big joke. Because he did not come to participate in the Alchemy Conference, he was deprived of his status as a registered disciple. I am afraid that this kind of thing will not happen in the entire Thirty-two Halls. occur.
Zhenbei Palace Master glanced around. She was thinking about other things before and didn't pay attention. Now she took a closer look and found that Fang Lin was indeed not there. She couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Elder Miao, who was standing with several other elders, was also anxious at this moment, feeling helpless in his heart.
"Mr. Wang, it has not been long since Fang Lin first entered Zhenbei Hall, and he doesn't know much about the affairs in the hall. Maybe he doesn't know that the elixir discussion conference is being held today." Although Elder Miao complained about Fang Lin, he still hurriedly helped Fang Lin. Lin defended himself.
"Three days before the Dan Conference started, everyone was notified. It is impossible that Fang Lin didn't know about this. I'm afraid he didn't bother to attend. Such arrogant people are rare in our Zhenbei Palace. Yeah." Another elder said, but his words were directed at Fang Lin.
"Whether he didn't come on purpose or not, with such an attitude, he should not be qualified as a registered disciple." Another elder said.
These elders who spoke all supported a named disciple. Now that they had the opportunity to suppress Fang Lin, they would naturally not let it go and spare no effort to target Fang Lin.
Although they did not regard Fang Lin as a big threat, it was quite good to have one less competitor.
The master of Zhenbei Palace stood up, his eyes were sharp, and he scanned everyone. An invisible aura filled the air, and for a while no one dared to say anything.
"Go and summon Fang Lin." The master of Zhenbei Palace said.
"Yes." A deacon immediately walked out of the hall and went to Fang Lin's residence.
In the main hall, Ling Zhongtian, Zhu Yuntao and Shen Xue saw that the three of them were making eye contact with the elders behind them. Only Mo Yun did not have any supporters and stood there without much expression.
At this time, Fang Lin was not at his residence. To be precise, he was going to attend the Dan Conference.
However, because he had just arrived at Zhenbei Hall not long ago, he was not very familiar with this place. After walking for a while, he found that he didn't know his way around.
If you don't know the way, something will happen. Fang Lin actually got lost in Zhenbei Hall.
"Where have I come?" Fang Lin looked at the unfamiliar place in front of him, with no one around him, and his face was blank.
I had no choice but to go back when I knew I was going the wrong way. Fortunately, Fang Lin had a good memory and could still remember the way back.
After walking for a long time, he finally returned to his residence and met the deacon who came to look for him.
"Are you Fang Lin? Where have you been? Why don't you come to the Dan Conference?" The deacon asked immediately when he saw Fang Lin coming from another way.
Fang Lin looked embarrassed, and quite embarrassed. What did he say? You can't say that I got lost and finally found my way back.
"I'm delayed because of something. Let's go now." Fang Lin said with an embarrassed smile.
"Follow me quickly, the master of the palace is calling you." The deacon said, and Fang Lin followed him and quickly arrived in the main hall.
"Are you Fang Lin?" Fang Lin hadn't figured out the situation yet. As soon as he came in, he heard a sound of scolding, with a bit of dissatisfaction.
Fang Lin looked along and saw an old man in gray robes, staring at him.
Fang Lin thought to himself, what's going on with this old man? I didn't provoke him or provoke him, so why was he looking at me with bull's eyes? As if she owed him money.
"I'm asking you, are you Fang Lin?" Elder Wang asked again, his tone aggravated.
Everyone looked at Fang Lin, and even the master of Zhenbei Palace did not speak. After all, although she accepted Fang Lin as a registered disciple, she could not show too much favoritism to Fang Lin, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction among many people present.
Furthermore, it was indeed Fang Lin's fault that Fang Lin did not arrive in time for the Dan Conference. The Lord of Zhenbei Palace also wanted to hear his explanation.
"This junior is Fang Lin. What should I call this senior? What are your instructions?" Fang Lin said with his hands raised. There is nothing wrong with lowering his posture first.
Elder Wang snorted and said unceremoniously: "You are so arrogant that you make so many of us wait for you!"
When Fang Lin heard this and looked at the situation at the scene, he basically guessed it, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
What is this thing called? If I hadn't taken the wrong path and wasted so much time, I would have been here long ago.
But you definitely can’t talk about things like getting lost. Not only is it embarrassing, but even if you did, who would believe you
"Elder, it is indeed the junior's fault for this matter. I hope the senior will forgive me." Fang Lin said, not wanting to defend himself.
Seeing that Fang Lin honestly admitted his mistake and kept his attitude very low, Elder Wang's anger also subsided a lot.
"You delayed our time. Although we won't punish you severely this time, you can just stand aside and listen." Elder Wang said.
