455: Incomplete Formula (3)

Incomplete Formula (3)

It was as if someone had deliberately removed the critical parts of the formulation.1

Shen Yanxiao maintained her composure and asked, "There's a potion that you can't produce?"

Ye Qing chuckled and shook his head.

"I am merely a Great Herbalist, and there are still many Grandmaster Herbalists above me. I can only make potions that are within the range of my skills. Unfortunately, I can't do anything beyond that."

Ye Qing was not a proud person. On the contrary, he was unusually humble. He frowned as he looked at the formula in his hands and muttered, "What bothered me the most is the missing parts. When the dean passed this incomplete formula to me, I had not paid much attention to it. It was only when I started working on it that I realized the importance of the missing parts. We have worked hard to research the missing contents, but we only managed to correct three parts. The remaining three parts are still unclear."

Shen Yanxiao frowned discreetly. She knew that Yun Qi had given Ouyang Huanyu the complete formula, and yet Ye Qing only received an incomplete one. It was also evident that the missing parts had been deliberately erased.

There was no doubt that the culprit was Ouyang Huanyu!

Even though he appeared sincere about helping Yun Qi with the Blood Banquet Potion, he had tampered with the formula behind his back.

It was apparent that he had no intention to cure Yun Qi!

Shen Yanxiao gripped her fists in her sleeves. She had disliked Ouyang Huanyu from the start as that seemingly gentle and respected dean felt dangerous somehow.

Ouyang Huanyu did not give Ye Qing the original formulation because he did him to produce the potion for Yun Qi's recovery. If Yun Qi were not cured of the Blood Banquet Potion, then he would have to stay in the Saint Laurent Academy…

Did Ouyang Huanyu intend to trap Yun Qi in the academy?

Shen Yanxiao pursed her lips. Yun Qi's strength had dropped considerably compared to before, so why would Ouyang Huanyu force him to stay?

The whole situation was probably not as simple as it seemed.

Shen Yanxiao decided to bide her time and acted as if she had noticed nothing. She diligently stood beside Ye Qing and looked at his continuous attempts with that incomplete formula.

Her mentor was extremely meticulous with every step he took, and she could guarantee that Ye Qing would have already produced the Blood Banquet Potion if he had the whole formula. Furthermore, he would have risen from a Great Herbalist to a Grandmaster Herbalist had he completed the potion.

Why would Ouyang Huanyu abandon the opportunity to nurture a Grandmaster Herbalist so that Yun Qi would continue to stay at the academy?

Shen Yanxiao had so many questions in her mind, and all of those pointed toward the dean.

She immediately decided to visit his room that night to see if she could learn his real motive.

She would never let anyone harm her mentor!

Shen Yanxiao decided not to give Ye Qing the whole formula. Even though he would not have betrayed her trust, Ouyang Huanyu would hear about it if he had completed the Blood Banquet Potion. She did not want any other complications before she could learn more about Ouyang Huanyu's real plans.
