Chapter 558: No Interest In The Apothecaries’ AssociationChapter 558: No Interest In The Apothecaries’ Association
Old Mr. Pei picked up the teapot and filled everyone’s teacups before he said, “He has gone back to Apothecaries’ Association to get ready for his promotion exam.”
Lin Shuwen did not seem surprised. After all, he was present when Pei Rong mentioned wanting to try for advanced apothecary.
He smiled before he said flatteringly, “Judging from his abilities, I’m sure he will make it.”
Old Mr. Pei shook his head. “Only one or two apothecaries are able to get promoted to advanced apothecary at the Apothecaries’ Association each year, so it is really down to his luck.”
“Well, it really isn’t purely a matter of luck. He can’t do it without talent,” commented Fang Chen after he contemplated for two seconds.
Lin Shuwen felt slightly relieved when he heard Fang Chen unprecedentedly saying something nice. He had reminded Fang Chen to foster a good relationship with the Pei family before he came today, especially Pei Rong.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe simply did not expect Pei Rong to leave for the capital so soon.
Despite Lin Shuwen’s disappointment, he raised his head to look at the young woman sitting across from him and suddenly felt it might be a good idea for Pei Rong to be away. Otherwise, the subject of how Pei Rong changed Huo Yao’s treatment plans was bound to come up.
After all, he had not told the Pei family about them inviting Huo Yao to examine Fang Chen a second time.
Lin Shuwen composed himself and chimed in. “Anyone who is accepted by Apothecaries’ Association is a one in a million talent.”
The moment Huo Yao heard what Lin Shuwen said, she raised her head slightly.
She had some memory of Apothecaries’ Association and their apothecary skills were pretty normal.
How could Lin Shuwen call their members rare talent?
Huo Yao pursed her lips briefly.
Old Mr. Pei turned his head sideways and looked at Huo Yao. “Are you interested in getting into the Apothecaries’ Association? Considering your apothecary skills...”
Huo Yao interrupted him before he finished his sentence. “Nope.”
She tapped her fingers on the table gently and seemed laid back.
Lin Shuwen raised his head and looked at Huo Yao in shock. Did she know what the Apothecaries’ Association was? How could she express her disinterest so decisively?
Also, Old Mr. Pei was talking about her apothecary skills when he got interrupted.
Was she an apothecary too?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWas she a 17 to 18 year old apothecary?
The thought crossed Lin Shuwen’s mind briefly before he shook his head and decided it was impossible.
Although Old Mr. Pei was disappointed, the Apothecaries’ Association was probably nothing to her considering Huo Yao’s medical and apothecary skills.
Probably other than the chairman, no one else was her match.
It did not matter whether she joined the Apothecaries’ Association or not since Min Yu was backing her. Regardless of her ordinary family background, she did not have to worry about getting a target painted on her back.
Before long, Pei Feng came back into the private room and sat down next to Old Mr. Pei. He wanted to sit closer to Min Yu, but judging from his attitude towards him earlier, he decided to keep a safe distance.
Although Pei Feng was mercenary in nature, he had a keen eye. Pei Feng knew that Min Yu would not have come if not on account of his father.
Pei Feng poured himself some tea quietly.
Lin Shuwen kept checking his wristwatch for the time and seemed preoccupied.
Fang Chen turned sideways and looked at him quizzically. “Do you have somewhere to go?”
Lin Shuwen glanced at Huo Yao before he said softly, “Mind if I leave for a second?”
