Huo Yao had just arrived at the clubhouse with Huo Changfeng. There was probably poor connection in the private room. The moment she answered the phone, she could not hear anything.
Huo Yao looked at her phone. She hung up and swiftly connected to the clubhouse internet and sent Fang Chen a WeChat text message instead: [I have a bad connection. Text me.]
Fang Chen was about to redial when he saw the message appearing on his screen.
He quickly tapped on the message and replied: [Mr. Li’s friend is from the Apothecaries’ Association. He is very interested in your medicine and wants to see you.]
Huo Yao walked over to the couch and sat down in the spacious private room. The moment she saw Fang Chen’s text message, she pressed her brow.
She did not want anyone to take notice of her pills, so she deliberately made them look bad. Unless it was a Chinese medicine expert, perhaps even Old Mr. Pei would have trouble noticing anything special with her pills.
Before long, Huo Yao replied: [Sorry. I’m not free.]
Fang Chen was unsurprised to see her reply. However, Wang kept looking at him earnestly, so he paused and added: [It’s the chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association.]
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. No wonder he was able to notice her pills.
She was not interested in meeting any chairmen, so she rejected him once more: [I am too busy. I don’t have time to socialize.]
Fang Chen could tell that there was no changing her mind, so he acknowledged her before turning to look at Wang apologetically. “I am sorry. She is busy with her studies, so she doesn’t have time.”
“I see…” Wang looked disappointed, but he did not take it to heart. After all, he was a highly respected master apothecary.
In history, warlords had to humble themselves in order to win over the best tacticians. Since it was just his first try, it was nothing.
Wang felt better after consoling himself. He smiled and said, “In that case, maybe next time when he is free…”
Before Wang was able to finish his sentence, he finally caught on to something. His face twitched as he looked at Fang Chen “…Hang on. What did you just say? What is the apothecary busy with?”
Were his ears playing tricks on him?
Did Fang Chen just say the apothecary was busy studying?
Fang Chen was caught by surprise and automatically answered. “With school.”
Wang’s smile froze instantly. He asked. “What do you mean?”
“He’s talking about school since the young lady is still in university,” explained Li Fang. He seemed completely unperturbed in comparison to Wang.
School?
A freshman?
A young girl no less?
Wang instantly looked dumbstruck. He pointed at the plastic bottle containing the medicine. “Do you mean the apothecary who made the medicine is a girl who is still attending university?”
Li Fang looked at Wang in bewilderment and said, “Uh huh. What’s wrong?”
Wang was stunned.
What did he mean by what was wrong? It completely did not make sense!
Wang pressed his brow before he continued. “Do you know what medicine this is?”
Li Fang looked at him. He almost wanted to blurt that it was medicine for him to take. Out of fear that Wang might lunge over and hit him, he shook his head.
“This is S class medicine. No… it might be even better…” Wang held the pill bottle tightly as he pondered and said, “I only succeeded in making S class medicine when I was in my thirties.”
Since she was still in university, she ought to be in her twenties at best. Yet, she was capable of refining such high-grade medicine. It was simply incredible.
Even his best disciple called He Shu only managed to create S class medicine in his thirties.
Li Fang did not know anything about pills. Judging from the look on Wang’s face, he could tell that the pills were expensive. He reached his hand out and retrieved the bottle of medicine back from Wang and placed it in his pocket.
Wang went speechless when he saw Li Fang doing this.
