Did the little kid successfully combine the two medicinal ingredients that had caused him frequent headaches? The same kid who turned out to be an absolute eyesore?

How was that possible?

Pu Lisi immediately walked to the table without waiting for anyone else. Then he took the potion so that he could observe it more carefully.

The potion had a faint fishy smell, with vivid color and l.u.s.ter. Shen Yanxiao had, without a doubt, succeeded!

Pu Lisi looked at Shen Yanxiao with a dark expression on his face.

He did know what to say. He had looked down on the kid, but she had managed to do it!

As he thought about what he had previously said, Pu Lisi’s throat constricted as if someone had choked him.

There was no doubt about Shen Yanxiao’s success, or anything suspicious about its circ.u.mstances.

“It looks like you have succeeded. I will keep my word and allow you to be my a.s.sistant.” Pu Lisi felt complicated. He was embarra.s.sed that a junior had schooled him, and at the same time, he was excited about such a talented student.

Even though Shen Yanxiao was talented, she still had a lot to learn in herbalism. Pu Lisi thought that Shen Yanxiao would feel grateful for his offer since he was a Great Herbalist. Who would care about his previous ridiculous words?

He was a Great Herbalist, and he had lost count of the people who would give anything to obtain his guidance.

He thought that Shen Yanxiao should be grateful to him since he was willing to accept her despite her rude remarks to him.

Shen Yanxiao pursed her lips. She sneered when she saw how sn.o.bbish Pu Lisi was even though he was embarra.s.sed with himself. “Great Master Pu Lisi must have been mistaken. Even though I accepted your challenge, I never agreed to be your a.s.sistant.”

He might have been a Great Herbalist, but so what? A person with such immoral characteristics was not qualified to be her mentor!

“What did you say!?” Pu Lisi glared at Shen Yanxiao in disbelief as he thought that he had misheard her.

It was a rare occasion that a Great Herbalist like him would want to guide another person, and yet she refused his goodwill without even considering the pros and cons of the deal?

“Stop with the nonsense, Shen Jue.” Luo De’s emotions fluctuated like a rollercoaster. His first worry had turned into jubilation when Shen Yanxiao successfully created the potion, and when he heard that Pu Lisi permitted her to stay in the library, his heart danced with joy. How could he have expected that Shen Yanxiao would reject Pu Lisi’s offer?

It was an invitation from a Great Herbalist, for goodness sake!

It was an opportunity that many had dreamed of, but she had decided to reject it!

Luo De wished he could strangle Shen Yanxiao’s neck and for her retract her previous words. Even though Pu Lisi had a bad temper, everyone agreed about his talent in herbalism.

Shen Yanxiao used the handkerchief on the table to wipe the remnants of the medicinal ingredients on her hands and then casually placed it back on the table. After that, she walked past Pu Lisi without a sideways glance at him and went toward Luo De.

“My apologies, but I have no intention of becoming Great Master Pu Lisi’s a.s.sistant.” Shen Yanxiao stopped by Luo De’s side, and her face revealed absolute confidence while a disapproving smile hung on her lips.

A Great Herbalist’s guidance?

Thank you, but she was not interested. If the Herbalist Division were not responsible for the Blood Banquet Potion, she would not even want to deal with a narrow-minded person like Pu Lisi.

Shen Yanxiao had decided that the powerful yet mysterious Xiu was her lifelong teacher, while the selfless and sincere Yun Qi was her mentor.

As for Pu Lisi?

He did not have the qualification or the worthiness for her respect!
