Chapter 570: Fang Chu Becomes Wangyuelou's Chief Brewer
After reviewing the final tally, even Qian Lao and the Wangyuelou Master—both masters of subtlety and keen judgment—could not help but raise their eyebrows in silent surprise. Without a word, they exchanged a glance and communicated discreetly through spiritual whispers.
The Wangyuelou Master, his expression a mixture of disbelief and curiosity, finally spoke: "Could there be a miscalculation in the scoring? Is it possible that Li Lao actually lost?"
Qian Lao's eyes widened slightly. "The calculations should be correct. I personally oversaw the process," she replied, equally astonished.
For a moment, both were silent, each lost in thought. If Fang Chu had lost, their reaction would have been simple and routine. They would have announced the results, praised Li Lao for his consistent mastery, and encouraged Fang Chu and the other brewers to continue improving. It would have been an ordinary matter.
