Chapter 508 Stop The Competition

When it was Feng Qing’s turn to retrieve the spices, she directly avoided the few spices that Feng Jianing had tampered with. When she was about to turn around, her elbow was touched. Fortunately, her reaction was extremely fast, so she could ensure that the spice didn’t fall to the ground. Feng Qing frowned and looked over. Only then did she realize that the person who had bumped into her was Feng Jianing. What made her feel disgusted was that Feng Jianing didn’t even look at her and pretended that nothing had happened, as if it was an accident that she had bumped into her just now.

Seeing that she didn’t succeed, Feng Jianing ignored Feng Qing and directly turned around to walk back to her table. Feng Qing reached out to touch her pocket and realized that there was a plastic round box inside. It looked like a powder cake.

Putting the little round box back into her pocket, Feng Qing looked at Feng Jianing, who had just returned to the table. Her eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly, and a hint of mockery appeared on her lips. With her intelligence, how could she not understand Feng Jianing’s thoughts?

As expected, as the competition progressed, many contestants had already failed. All of them were either exclaiming in surprise or in disbelief. Originally, there was no one with a 100% success rate in making perfume. Even a Nine-Star Fragrance Master couldn’t guarantee that he would succeed every time he made perfume, so it was normal to fail. However, this was a competition after all. According to the competition rules, every time the contestants failed, their points would be deducted.

Ten minutes passed, and many contestants failed to mix the perfume. Some of the perfume was black, and the smell was completely wrong. Some of the perfume’s color was problematic, and there were even some that looked like cotton.

Three, six, nine. In the end, even the top three contestants in the preliminaries failed to mix the perfume. They thought that since the materials used were different, the result after everyone failed was also different. However, most of the failed perfumes would have cotton-like substances, making people feel disgusted.

Finally, Charles and Angus, who were sitting on the platform, stood up. Looking at the chaotic situation on the field, they both felt that something was wrong. Charles instructed the staff to retrieve the batch of perfume that the contestants had failed to mix just now, as well as the formula for the contestants’ perfume. He wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on. However, when he and Angus finished looking at the failed perfume and the corresponding formula, they frowned. Angus held a perfume formula and said, “That’s strange. It shouldn’t be. Most people use relatively common spices. If we mix according to these recipes, this wouldn’t happen at all.”

Charles nodded, agreeing with Angus’s judgment, so he instructed the staff of the competition team. “Take some people and check what’s going on and why this happened.”

After another ten minutes, the staff ran back and whispered into Charles and Angus’s ears. In a very low voice, he told them the result of the investigation.

In the audience area, Xing Yue stood up from his chair. He looked at Netherworld and Duke Raymond. “I just received news that the Imperial Concubine will be here soon.” With that, he adjusted his white military uniform and walked out with his head held high.

Netherworld sat there without moving. His eyes behind the golden mask were fixed on the activity on the podium. He saw all the changes in Charles and Angus’s expressions. At this moment, Angus stood up again. He took the microphone and said, “All contestants, please pay attention and stop all your operations immediately. Also, stand on the spot and don’t walk around. After the competition’s organizing committee’s investigation, we found that someone is suspected to have brought prohibited items into the competition grounds. Now, we want to re-examine every contestant. Please cooperate actively. I’m deeply sorry for the unhappiness.”

Upon hearing Angus’s words, the entire venue erupted in discussion. All the contestants switched off their various perfume equipment and stopped the perfume they were brewing.

“What’s going on? This is the hall of the Jin City outside the palace. Who has the guts to bring in prohibited items?”

“The competition has set the rules long ago. Anyone who participates in the competition with prohibited goods will be immediately disqualified no matter their reasons. Moreover, their fragrance master qualification would be revoked and be banned from participating in any competitions related to perfume for the rest of their lives. They will even face a huge fine from the International Fragrance Alliance.”

“What you’re saying is secondary. According to Country F’s local safety law, anyone who carries contraband in the palace will be sentenced to prison for at least five years!”
