Old Mr. Pei picked up the teapot and filled it with tea before he said, "He has returned to the Apothecaries' Association in the capital to prepare for the annual assessment."
Lin Shuwen was not surprised. After all, he had heard Huo Yao mention that he wanted to become an advanced apothecary.
He smiled and flattered Huo Yao. "Given Huo Yao's capabilities, he should have no problem getting promoted."
Old Mr. Pei shook his head. "Only one or two people from the Apothecaries' Association get promoted every year. It all depends on his luck this year."
"It's not just about luck. Talent is everything," commented Fang Chen after contemplating for a few seconds.
Lin Shuwen heaved a sigh of relief when Fang Chen said something nice about Huo Yao. He had repeatedly reminded Fang Chen to build a good relationship with the Pei family, especially Pei Rong.
However, he did not expect Pei Rong to have returned to the capital.
Although it was a pity, Lin Shuwen raised his head to look at the young woman sitting opposite him. He suddenly felt that it was a good thing that Pei Rong was not around. Otherwise, they would inevitably talk about changing Fang Chen's dressing.
After all, he had not told the Pei family that he had asked Huo Yao to treat Fang Chen for the second time.
Lin Shuwen collected his thoughts and added, "Those who can enter the Alchemist's Association are all talented individuals that are one in ten thousand."
Huo Yao raised her head when she heard Lin Shuwen's words.
She had some recollection of the Apothecaries' Association, but the standards of the people there were only average.
How could they be considered one in a million?
Huo Yao pursed her lips.
Old Mr. Pei turned to look at Huo Yao. "Little Master Huo, are you interested in joining the Apothecaries' Association? According to your alchemy skills … "
Before he could finish, Huo Yao interrupted him. "I'm not interested."
Her fingertips casually tapped on the table without any rhythm, and she looked very undisciplined.
Lin Shuwen raised his head to look at Huo Yao in surprise. Did she not know much about the Apothecaries' Association? How could she reject him so decisively?
Also, Old Mr. Pei was interrupted. Her skills in refining medicine?
Could it be that she was also an alchemist?
A 17-year-old apothecary?
The thought flashed across Lin Shuwen's mind, but he quickly shook his head. It was unlikely.
Although Old Mr. Pei looked disappointed when he heard Huo Yao's reply, he felt that the Apothecaries' Association was just so-so when he recalled Huo Yao's medical skills and refining skills.
Apart from the guild leader who could be mentioned in the same breath as the young master, the others … might not be able to match up to him.
Therefore, it did not matter if she joined the Apothecaries' Association or not. After all, she had the support of the Min family. Even if her family background was ordinary, she did not have to worry about being targeted by other families.
Before long, Pei Feng pushed the door open and walked in. He sat down next to Old Mr. Pei. Initially, he wanted to sit closer to Min Yu, but when he recalled what had happened downstairs, he did not want to do so.
Although Pei Feng was a practical and snobbish person, he still had some foresight. He knew that Min Yu wouldn't have come today if it wasn't for his father.
Pei Feng poured himself a cup of tea and sat there quietly without saying anything.
Lin Shuwen, on the other hand, looked at the time on his wrist from time to time. He started to be a little absent-minded, as if he had something to do.
Fang Chen sensed Huo Yao's movements and turned to look at him quizzically. "What's the matter?"
Lin Shuwen glanced at Huo Yao and said in a low voice, "Can I leave for a while?"
