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 partic.i.p.ate in the Great Pharmacist Guild Conference were basically all young and reputable alchemists. Before coming, they were already very familiar with the rules of the compet.i.tion. They had long chosen reliable allies in advance and formed teams.

It was rare for people like Gu Qiqi and Lisa to come 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 the compet.i.tion, they would have wasted a great opportunity on this trip to the Ghost Island.

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 arent that agile, Im still proficient in medicine. I can help in the compet.i.tion More importantly, I definitely wont 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 Nineteenth Witch values Young Master Ye, so you took the opportunity to join in? Hehe, how do we know that you wont harm anyone?

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

Lisa was speechless. You! I, Im not as scheming as you say Young Master Ye, I really am not!

Gu Qiqi held her forehead and patted her shoulder comfortingly. Yes, yes. I know.

She had to admit that after the incident at the bistro last 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 someones nose and question their motives?

She would have complained behind his back.

She smiled faintly and said to the old man with the scar, If you are willing to join us, you are welcome! But trust is mutual. I trust you and I hope you can trust Lisa. The most important thing for a team is not combat power, but unity.

The old man with the scar was silent for a moment before nodding. Okay. However, allow me to explain again. The reason why I promised not to harm you is that this compet.i.tion 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, The compet.i.tion 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 the compet.i.tion are enjoyed by young people. People of my age can only be the a.s.sistants in the team to see the world. All the rewards for winning in the end have nothing to do with me Therefore, I definitely wont 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 place and see the place where I once fought. I want to offer incense to my companions who died in the compet.i.tion

Lisa curled her lip. You make yourself sound so n.o.ble!

The old man with the scar said, Of course, I dont deny that if we can eventually reach the Spring of Beginnings, I want to take a little of the spring water there
