Pei Feng had merely said that to remind Huo Yao of her status. Of course, he did not mean to chase her away.
After all, the Pei family had always valued etiquette.
He straightened his body and uncrossed his arms. Without saying a word, he headed for the door.
The butler wiped his sweat and looked at Huo Yao again. He said softly, "Miss Huo, Pei Feng is a straightforward person. He doesn't mean any harm. Please... don't overthink it."
Huo Yao raised her brow and stepped through the door. "Uh huh."
Before long, the butler brought Huo Yao to the main hall.
Other than Old Mr. Pei, a middle-aged man whom Huo Yao did not know was sitting in the main hall. He seemed to be in his thirties. He had thick eyebrows and a stern look on his face. Moreover, he seemed to be an official.
Huo Yao glanced at him briefly before veering her eyes away.
"Little Master Huo, you're finally here." Old Mr. Pei looked relieved and hopeful when he saw Huo Yao.
He stood up and turned to introduce her to the middle-aged man sitting on the other side. "This is my young friend who is skilled in medicine. Her surname is Huo."
The middle-aged man's eyes landed on Huo Yao. His eyes were sharp, and his expressionless face looked as though he was examining a criminal.
Huo Yao stood there calmly without any sign of stage fright on her exquisite face. A look of surprise flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes.
There were very few people who could remain as steady as Mount Tai under his gaze.
However, the middle-aged man still frowned. He veered his eyes away from Huo Yao and looked at Old Mr. Pei. "Are you sure... she can do it?"
He had heard Old Mr. Pei mention this young friend of his the most today. Old Mr. Pei's words made him feel hopeful again.
But now that he saw her in person, he did not expect her to be so young.
She looked at most 17 or 18 years old.
He did not look down on her, but she was only 17 or 18 years old. What kind of medical skills could she have?
Lin Shuwen looked disappointed as he pressed his forehead. Before Old Mr. Pei could say anything, he said, "Didn't Young Master Pei say you're almost home? I think I'd better wait for him to treat my husband. "
Old Mr. Pei understood that Lin Shuwen subconsciously objected to Little Master Huo's treatment because she was only a 17-year-old girl.
In fact, he had deliberately hinted to Lin Shuwen that his little friend, who was proficient in medical skills, would be very young. He had done so much to prevent this kind of situation from happening. Now, it seemed that he had not been able to avoid it.
Old Mr. Pei glanced at Huo Yao. Afraid that she would fling her sleeves and leave, he coughed dryly and said to Lin Shuwen, "Secretary Lin, trust me. Huo Yao's medical skills are definitely better than mine."
Lin Shuwen was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Let's wait for Young Master Pei to return first."
An intermediate alchemist from the capital's Alchemist Association. Just this illustrious identity alone was enough to show how capable he was.
He dared not hand his teacher over to an unknown little girl. He could not afford to gamble.
Old Mr. Pei had no choice but to walk up to Huo Yao and whisper to her. "Little Master Huo, let's talk somewhere else."
Huo Yao did not react to Lin Shuwen's condescending tone. Instead, she calmly glanced at the worried Old Mr. Pei and replied. "Okay."
