<h4>Chapter 1248: Who’s the Scheming One?</h4>


    On this side, Chu Junmo was trapped by Gong Jue.


    On the other side, Gu Qiqi and Lisa were worried about finding two men to form a team.


    Those who could participate in the Great Pharmacist Guild Conference were basically all young and reputable alchemists. Beforeing, they were already very familiar with the rules of thepetition. They had long chosen reliable allies in advance and formed teams.


    It was rare for people like Gu Qiqi and Lisa toe for a specific purpose.

    Were they going to go out to the cabins and ask if anyone was willing to form a team?


    !!


    Even if they did, how many people could trust them?


    This was no game. No one would easily form an alliance with a stranger.


    If they were tricked by a stranger and lost thepetition, they would have wasted a great opportunity on this trip to the Ghost Ind.


    Just as the two of them were deep in thought.


    The old man with the scar suddenly coughed. “Well… actually, do you want to consider me… Although my legs aren’t that agile, I’m still proficient in medicine. I can help in thepetition… More importantly, I definitely won’t harm you!”


    Before Gu Qiqi could agree, Lisa first sized up Old Man Huo Ba and asked in a distrustful tone, “This is the reason why you came to look for Young Master Ye today, right? You also know that the Neenth Witch values Young Master Ye, so you took the opportunity to join in? Hehe, how do we know that you won’t harm anyone?”


    The old man with the scar did not change his expression and asked directly, “Miss, Young Master Ye has always said that you’re innocent and cute. I think your question shows that you’re scheming! Only scheming people will suspect others of harming themselves! Can you tell me what’s your motive for following Young Master Ye?”


    Lisa was speechless. “You…! I, I’m not as scheming as you say… Young Master Ye, I really am not!”


    Gu Qiqi held her forehead and patted her shoulderfortingly. “Yes, yes. I know.”


    She had to admit that after the incident at the bistrost night, the naive Lisa had some social experience and was a little more wary of people.


    However, she was not experienced enough!


    Why would a truly scheming girl point at someone’s nose and question their motives?


    She would haveined behind his back.


    She smiled faintly and said to the old man with the scar, “If you are willing to join us, you are wee! But trust is mutual. I trust you and I hope you can trust Lisa. The most important thing for a team is notbat power, but unity.”


    The old man with the scar was silent for a moment before nodding. “Okay. However, allow me to exin again. The reason why I promised not to harm you is that thispetition has nothing to do with me.”


    Lisa said nothing, but shot a look that said, Why should I believe you?


    The old man with the scar continued calmly, “Thepetition organized by the Great Pharmacist Guild is to select the most powerful young pharmacists to join the core team of the guild. Therefore, all the rewards and the honor of winning thepetition are enjoyed by young people. People of my age can only be the assistants in the team to see the world. All the rewards for winning in the end have nothing to do with me… Therefore, I definitely won’t do anything to harm you just to fight for anything.”


    “So what do you want?” Lisa asked before she could stop herself.


    “I just want to revisit the old ce and see the ce where I once fought. I want to offer incense to mypanions who died in thepetition…”


    Lisa curled her lip. “You make yourself sound so noble!”


    The old man with the scar said, “Of course, I don’t deny that if we can eventually reach the Spring of Beginnings, I want to take a little of the spring water there…”
