Pei Feng trailed behind her. He could not help pursing his lips in disdain when he caught sight of his father’s eagerness. Instead, he walked straight to Min Yu, who was sitting on the main seat. He refilled Min Yu’s tea cup, courteously.
Old Mr. Pei failed to notice his son’s behavior. He only looked at Huo Yao and asked her. “What did you make today? Mind if I see it?”
“It’s a medicine for the heart.” Huo Yao handed the bottle over to Old Mr. Pei without any hesitation.
Min Yu raised his brow thoughtfully when he heard what she said.
Old Madam Yang had heart problems.
Hence, she had probably made the medicine for her grandmother.
Old Mr. Pei opened the bottle. He retrieved a pill and smelled it carefully. His eyes instantly lit up. “Sure enough, it’s an ancient prescription.”
Pei Feng was stunned.
An ancient prescription?
Was she concocting an ancient prescription?
Even though Pei Feng was not as keen a researcher as Old Mr. Pei, he had some medical talent, so he had worked on their family’s half-written ancient prescription. However, he lost interest after he failed to figure it out.
Old Mr. Pei placed the pill back inside its bottle and returned it to Huo Yao. He suddenly felt emotional. In the past, he had never encountered any medicine made from ancient prescriptions. However, he had struck gold recently. It was a rather surreal feeling.
Could the other ancient prescription medicine he saw recently be the work of Huo Yao as well?
Old Mr. Pei looked at Huo Yao quizzically.
Huo Yao noticed the strange looks Old Mr Pei was casting towards her. She raised her brow perplexedly. “Yes, Old Mr. Pei?”
“Have you made neurological medicine before?” asked Old Mr. Pei.
Huo Yao replied with a straight face. “Nope. I only know these ordinary ones.”
Old Mr. Pei instantly felt his blood pressure shooting off the charts just by listening to her words. How could she say that?
Was this just some ordinary medicine?
If anyone in the Apothecaries’ Association could produce a single S+ grade medicine, they would attain incredibly high status in the association. However, this little monster felt that her ancient prescription medicine was a regular thing.
It genuinely hurt his pride.
“Oh yes. Old Mr. Pei, I’m kind of tired today. I will write the incense formula for you. You can make it using that. I think the final product made by you would be equally effective,” said Huo Yao slowly.
Old Mr. Pei was stunned. He looked at Pei Feng who was sitting next to Min Yu and trying to cosy up to him. He realized what had happened straight away.
He had managed to finally convince Huo Yao to teach him. However, he was getting old, so he wanted to give the opportunity to his younger son to learn in the hope that the Pei clan could have a brighter future.
Old Mr. Pei suddenly shook his head. This son of his certainly was a mediocre ne’er-do-well.
“Forget it. It seems that I don’t have the good fortune.” Old Mr. Pei smiled sadly as he shook his head.
Now that the opportunity was wasted, there were no second chances. How could he ask Huo Yao to do it again?
Huo Yao smiled without speaking.
Pei Feng frowned when he heard them. However, he quickly placed all his attention on Min Yu again.
After taking a short break, Huo Yao, Min Yu, and Zhuo Yun left the Pei residence.
Old Mr. Pei slowly walked back into the house with Pei Feng by his side.
Pei Feng said, “Dad, although I am very impressed by the young woman’s accuracy in terms of dosage…,” he paused before he said again, “…but I don’t agree that she is superior to my brother.”
Old Mr. Pei halted in his steps.
