In his previous life, when he was still in high school, he had experienced it before. If he liked a girl, he would intentionally show off in front of her, even going against her, just to attract her attention!
This woman had been going against him ever since she arrived, so it was probably the same for her.
Otherwise, why would she have such an attitude?
Sigh, you don't look ugly, so there must be many men pursuing you. Why are you pestering me?
Zhang Xuan felt incomparably melancholic.
Being pursued by someone doesn't seem to be a good thing.
The pressure of a transcender!
"Give up?"
Wen Xue staggered. She felt as though she was about to vomit a mouthful of blood. She was on the verge of going insane.
You were the one who intentionally attracted my attention to please me, alright?
When did I become the one who intentionally caused trouble for you?
The heck!
Explain to me, what the heck is that pitying gaze of yours? What do you mean by telling me to give up?
No matter what, I am a great beauty, and countless people like me. Why do you make it seem as though I can't get married and have to find you?
Gritting her teeth, Wen Xue's face twitched uncontrollably, as though she was about to explode.
Just when she was about to make a move on this arrogant fellow, she saw the young man shake his head with a sigh, walk to a chair by the side, and sit down.
His movements were calm, not a single cloud could be seen.
"Alright, Wen Xue, this is the entrance to the examination hall. If an apothecary were to see this, it will be difficult for you to take the examination in the future!"
Uncle Li said.
"Yes!" Hearing those words, Wen Xue could only suppress her rage and sit down.
This was the entrance to the examination hall, and apothecaries often appeared. If they were to see her fighting with someone in a rage, it would definitely leave a bad impression on them. It would be difficult for her to pass the apprentice apothecary examination in the future.
"Count yourself lucky. When the results are out, I will teach you a lesson!"
Wen Xue glared coldly at this self-righteous fellow as she gnashed her teeth in her heart.
Ignoring this woman who had a 'crush' on him, Zhang Xuan sat on the chair and started to organize the knowledge in his head.
Most of the information regarding medicinal herbs had been compiled by the predecessors, so there weren't too many mistakes in them. Zhang Xuan picked out the mistakes and studied them carefully.
His consciousness was immersed in the Library of Heaven's Path. Finally, it was time for the examination. Everyone handed in their papers.
"Wait outside. Once you pass the test, you will be notified to proceed to the next test!"
Ouyang Cheng waved his hand and chased everyone out. He picked up his brush and began to mark the papers.
As he changed it, his brows furrowed and his face darkened.
"Brother Ouyang, how was it? Did anyone pass the test this time? I happen to be in need of an acolyte! "
Just as he finished modifying it, a middle-aged man strode over.
The other 1-star apothecary of the Apothecary Guild, Du Man.
"Pass? Look at all these, their answers are so nonsensical! If he were to be accepted as an apprentice, I fear that the entire Apothecary Guild would be shamed! "
Ouyang Cheng threw the brush aside and picked up a stack of corrected test papers. He snorted angrily.
"Let me see!"
Apothecary Du Man walked to the table and flipped open the freshly graded paper. After looking at it for a moment, he frowned.
In their view, the content of the test wasn't too difficult. However, the answers were all over the place. In fact, many of the commonly seen medicinal herbs were written wrongly!
If such a person were to be accepted as an apprentice, the Apothecary Guild's reputation would be tarnished.
"Un? What's wrong with this paper? Brother Ouyang didn't change it? "
After flipping through seven to eight papers, there wasn't a single one that he was satisfied with. Apothecary Du Man's eyes suddenly fell on a lump of paper on the table.
There wasn't the slightest trace of a brush on it. Clearly, it hadn't been graded before.
"If it's written by a profligate, it must be even worse. Even without looking at it, it's clear that he won't pass. Rather than getting angry, I might as well not change it at all …"
Recalling the fellow who had been scribbling furiously, Ouyang Cheng's mood worsened.
A fellow who had only written for an hour before handing in the paper, it was certain that he wouldn't pass. There was no need for him to change it at all!
What was going on? In the previous few tests, there were three to four cowards who could pass the first test. Yet, this time around, after a long while, there were only two. The rest of the answers were a complete mess!
"Profligate? Let me see what kind of answer can make you fail without even looking at it … "
Du Man shook his head with a smile as he casually flipped open the paper.
"Un?"
His eyes fell on the paper and he exclaimed in shock.
Huala! Huala!
Following which, the sound of someone flipping through the paper echoed. The more he flipped, the more astonished Du Man became. His initially nonchalant expression gradually turned grim.
"What's wrong? Is it because this fellow's answers are too inconceivable? " Seeing the other party's expression, Ouyang Cheng harrumphed. "A bunch of profligate scions who don't know anything just because they have money to sneak into the examination. They don't even have any respect for the Apothecary Guild …"
"No … Brother Ouyang, take a look as well …"
Hearing the other party's furious words, Du Man hurriedly interjected and passed the paper over.
"What's there to look at? In any case, it's just a failure … "
Muttering, Ouyang Cheng lowered his head to take a look. With just a single glance, just like Du Man, his eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh?"
Flipping to the second page, "Un?"
Flipping to the third page, "Ah?"
Flipping to the fourth page, "The heck!"
…
All sorts of expressions could be seen on his face. His hands didn't stop moving as he hurriedly flipped through the papers.
Soon, dozens of papers were flipped through. Ouyang Cheng's eyes nearly fell to the floor. He stared at Zhang Xuan in disbelief, "How is this possible? There … There isn't a single mistake? "
"Indeed! To think that there isn't a single mistake! There are a few questions that we intentionally left behind. Even if I were to answer them, I would probably fall into a trap and make a mistake … "
Du Man also had a look of disbelief on his face.
The reason why he was so confident of this paper was because the questions on it were extremely obscure. Even a true apothecary like them wouldn't be able to find the correct answers if they didn't recollect them carefully.
Yet, not only was this paper written clearly, there wasn't a single mistake at all!
This … How is this possible?
"There isn't a single mistake … Why is Brother Ouyang so sure that he won't be able to pass?"
After recovering from his shock, Du Man couldn't help but ask.
Such a perfect answer was unprecedented in the history of Tianxuan Kingdom's Apothecary Guild. Yet, this Brother Ouyang rejected such a genius without even looking at it. Isn't this too arbitrary!
"I …" Ouyang Cheng's face flushed red. For a long moment, he was unable to say a word.
He had always been known for his seriousness and prudence, earning the respect of countless people. Yet, today …
This slap to the face left him with a burning pain.
He had clearly seen this lad finish the paper in an hour, and he didn't even put his heart into it. Why … did he get everything right?
Even he wasn't capable of such speed!
Could it be that this lad's understanding of medicine had already surpassed his?
To say that a person whose knowledge of medicine was superior to his was a profligate scion, and thus, he was unable to pass the examination?
The heck, you can't be so scammed!
Ouyang Cheng felt his entire body stiffening, as though he was constipated.
