Lin Fan and Yuki could feel the hostility that came from the president.

The president was excited about the possibility of two monsters showing up for this exam at first, but with all the things that Lin Fan and Yuki demonstrated, it was hard for him not to be suspicious.

So he had no choice but to interrogate the two of them which was what he was doing now.

However, Lin Fan and Yuki didn't feel any pressure from this president at all since this president was only in the Child Soul Realm, so he wasn't any threat to the two of them.

Lin Fan just calmly said, "We want to go to the Alchemy King Hall headquarters and we thought that the best way would be to stand out." Then after a pause, he said with a smile, "But it seems like we stood out too much."

The president looked over at Yuki, but seeing that she wasn't saying anything, he turned back to Lin Fan to say, "Then are you planning on taking any hostile actions against the Alchemy King Hall?"

Lin Fan calmly faced his cold glare and said, "We don't have any hostility towards the Alchemy King Hall, but that will depend on the actions of the people from the Alchemy King Hall."

The president kept looking at Lin Fan, but seeing his clear eyes, he could tell that he was being truthful.

There was no fault with what he said since after all, a large organization like the Alchemy King Hall was complicated. There were many relationships between the higher ups and if there was a conflict of interest, that would mean that they would have a hostile relationship.

When one had to retaliate because of this situation, it wasn't a strange thing or anything that required blame.

So the president just gave a nod in the end before saying, "Alright, we've already contacted the Alchemy King Hall and they're already expecting you. You'll be receiving certification as Master Alchemists today and you'll be learning from the elders who are Grandmaster Alchemists." After a pause, the president added, "As for which elder you go under, that will be up to you, but I can recommend the second and sixth elders."

The president didn't forget to recommend the two elders that he was under.

Lin Fan was about to say something, but then there was someone else that came into the room.

When he turned to look, he found that it was Xiao Tu and Angela.

Angela had a clear wary look on her face since she could guess what was happening here, but she couldn't stop Xiao Tu from pulling her into the room.

Lin Fan was about to say something, but before he could, the president suddenly said with a smile, "Tu Tu, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Tu didn't hesitate at all as she let go of Angela's hand to run over to the president's side. Then to everyone's shock, she jumped into the president's arms and hugged him as she said, "Uncle!"

Well, it wasn't everyone that was shocked, it was just Lin Fan's group.

But as he watched this, he quickly figured out what was happening.

The uncles that Xiao Tu mentioned before, the president of this Alchemy King Hall branch, was one of them.

It made sense since for a demihuman like Xiao Tu to openly walk through Frost City, just the influence of the Hunters Organization branch president wasn't enough. It would require the influence of multiple powerful people to stop the citizens from just killing her.

He couldn't help wondering who the other uncles that Xiao Tu mentioned were…

While he was pondering this, Xiao Tu suddenly came out of the president's arms and crossed her arms at her hip as she said in an angry voice, "Are you bullying big brother and big sister?"

The president revealed a warm smile when he saw this before shaking his hand and saying, "Of course not Tu Tu, uncle was just having a talk with them about their future. The Alchemy King Hall headquarters is interested in taking them in, so I was just discussing the details with them."

Xiao Tu revealed a surprised look before also revealing a smile and said, "I knew that uncle was the best!" She went forward and hugged the president again who also revealed a happy smile.

After a while, they finally let go of each other and the president turned back to Lin Fan's group as he said, "I never imagined that you also knew Tu Tu. Since you can get Tu Tu to call you big brother and big sister, then you aren't bad people and I'm more assured in sending you to the Alchemy King Hall headquarters."

But then he also came forward to grab Lin Fan by the collar to pull him in as he said in a low threatening voice, "But if you think that I'll ever hand Tu Tu over to you, you're dreaming!"

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this, but he also said, "I promise I'm not interested in Xiao Tu."

The president didn't let go when he heard this and he lifted Lin Fan by the collar again as he said, "You don't think that our Xiao Tu is cute enough? I'll kill you!"

Lin Fan had a speechless look on his face when he heard this.

This president of the Alchemy King Hall branch was just the same as the president of the Hunters Organization branch…No, this one was worse.

At the very least, the president of the Hunters Organization branch had been able to hold back until he was drunk, but the president of the Alchemy King Hall branch didn't hold back at all.

But in the end, it was Xiao Tu who came to save Lin Fan.

Xiao Tu came in between Lin Fan and the president as she said, "Uncle, it's not like that at all. Stop embarrassing me."

But as she said this, there was a blush on her face that made it seem very unconvincing.

The president looked like he was about to cry tears of blood, but he couldn't just lose his temper with Xiao Tu in front of him like this. So in the end, he said through gritted teeth, "Well, let's just leave this matter like this for now."

He quickly changed his tone as he said, "How about you head off to the Alchemy King Hall headquarters right away? They're already expecting you, so you can just take our transport gate."

It was clear what kind of ulterior motives that he had, but that was fine for Lin Fan since he wanted to get to the Alchemy King Hall headquarters as soon as possible.

He was worried about Song Shu and they had already wasted three days for this alchemist exam. He didn't want to waste anymore time here.

But before they could go, Xiao Tu suddenly asked in a sad voice, "Big brother, big sisters, you're leaving already?"

Seeing the way that she looked at them with her big sad eyes and her ears hanging low, they almost couldn't say anything. However, they still had to leave in the end.

So Lin Fan took the initiative to say, "Xiao Tu, we're going to get another big sister for you to play with, but this time she'll be around the same age as you. When we get back, you can play all you want with this new big sister."

Xiao Tu's eyes lit up when she heard this and she asked, "Really?"

Lin Fan gave a nod before saying, "Un, so just wait a bit. We'll be back soon."

Xiao Tu gave a nod in response to this.

Lin Fan turned to Angela to say, "Can you take Xiao Tu out for a bit? I have something I want to ask the president."

Angela gave a nod and took Xiao Tu out.

Once Xiao Tu was gone, Lin Fan turned back to the president and asked, "What do you know about the Alchemy Master's disciple?"

The president knitted his brows as he asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Lin Fan said with a faint smile, "Well, I have a little bit of a connection with her."

The president thought about what he had said before and then said with a smile, "So it's like that…"

But in the end, he still told Lin Fan everything he knew about the situation in the Alchemy King Hall headquarters.

When he was done, he said to Lin Fan, "If you're going to do something, the only thing that I can ask is that you don't take it too far. It's not the Alchemy Master's fault, it's just that…"

Lin Fan gave a nod and said, "I'll do what I can."

Hearing this, the president gave a nod and said, "Thank you."

After that, Lin Fan's group was led down to the basement where the transport gates were.

He quickly sent a message to old man Qiao telling him that he won't be coming back through the Hunters Organization transport gate before heading to the Alchemy King Hall headquarters.

When he was leaving, Xiao Tu had come to say goodbye.

She reached her hand out with her pinky outstretched and said, "You'll keep your promise, right?"

Lin Fan did a pinky swear with her and said, "Absolutely."

So with her waving with a smile, Lin Fan's group went through the transport gate.

When they came out the other side, there was already someone waiting for them.

It was a young lady who was in an alchemist's robe.

The young lady bowed before saying, "Young master Lin, young miss Yuki, we've been expecting you. I've been sent by the seventh elder to welcome and guide you."
