In an instant, Chu Xiaotian was stunned. The many alchemists who had previously taunted Shen Qiang for not being qualified to sit with them were also dumbfounded, their mouths agape in disbelief.
"Impossible, I must have misheard!" Amidst the mocking laughter of the crowd, Chu Xiaotian panicked, taking a step forward anxiously: "Valley Master, you must have made a mistake. This Shen Qiang hasn't even made it to the top hundred alchemists list. What qualifies him to sit at the head table?"
"Yes, exactly!" The several other alchemists who had previously ridiculed Shen Qiang also stood up in doubt.
"Valley Master, we need an explanation!"
"If Shen Qiang is above us, then we might as well skip this meal!"
"I'm fine with the sect leaders sitting at the head table, but if Shen Qiang is sitting there too, then it's an insult to us!"
