Old Mr. Pei slapped Pei Feng on his head. “It’s okay to say such things to me, but don’t do it in front of Huo Yao. She is an apothecary, and she is far more skillful than your brother, so you better take this seriously.”
Pei Feng dodged his father’s slap and said with skepticism, “She is just a teenager. How could she be better than my brother? That’s unbelievable.”
His older brother was an intermediate apothecary. If she had surpassed her brother’s skills, wouldn’t that make her an advanced apothecary?
“Anything is possible. We shouldn’t be blindly judgmental. After you have witnessed her in action, you will realise what I mean,” sneered Old Mr. Pei before he continued. “If Young Master Min wasn’t around, would I even let you assist her?”
He was absolutely naive!
Pei Feng looked at Old Mr. Pei and felt his father must be going senile for uttering such nonsense.
“Enough. Hurry up and go in. Pay attention. It’s your only chance.” Old Mr. Pei did not say anything further. After all, his son had to see it to believe it.
Pei Feng scratched his head before walking into the pharmaceutical laboratory.
Old Mr. Pei looked at him before heading to the living room.

Pei Feng was initially contemptuous towards Huo Yao after entering the lab. After all, she was simply too young. However, his opinion quickly changed when he saw her preparing the medicine.
“This prescription....” Pei Feng looked at Huo Yao but failed to finish his sentence even after a long time.
Since making medicine demanded a lot of attention, Huo Yao neither looked at him nor spoke. She only lowered her head and concentrated on her task.

The medicine was for her grandmother, so it was not as complicated as Min Yu’s medicine. Also, it was much quicker to produce. Hence, she roughly took an hour to complete it.
Huo Yao exhaled deeply after placing the medicine inside a porcelain bottle.
Pei Feng was neither an apothecary nor as knowledgeable as Old Mr. Pei. His shock permeated from the fact as to how accurate Huo Yao was with the dosage. He did not scrutinize the quality of her final product. However, judging from the way she produced over 20 pills at a shot, it was probably average.
He had heard his brother saying that a novice apothecary could only make two to three pills at a go. Only advanced apothecaries could make up to five or six.
Hence, he did not buy his father’s claim about how talented the young woman was.
His older brother was an intermediate apothecary at the Apothecaries’ Association and enjoyed a high status.
How could a little girl compare to his older brother?
After Huo Yao put the medicine away, she picked up the ingredients that she wanted to use for teaching Old Mr. Pei how to make incense. She turned to look at Pei Feng. “Do you know how to make incense?”
Pei Feng was stunned. He shook his head. “Nope.”
Huo Yao inhaled deeply. On account of the 30% discount Old Mr. Pei was giving her, she picked up the tools and said, “It’s okay. I’ll teach you.”
Pei Feng frowned and rejected her offer instantly. “I’ll pass.”
He was not interested in learning this process.
Huo Yao could detect his disinterest, so she did not force him. After all, she had promised to teach Old Mr. Pei and wasn’t obligated towards anyone else. Hence, she put down the things and walked out of the pharmaceutical laboratory.
Old Mr. Pei kept looking outside the living room while drinking tea with Min Yu. He seemed lost and preoccupied.
But he hurriedly walked over when he saw Huo Yao coming out. “Huo Yao, are you done already?”
Since Huo Yao had expended a lot of energy working, her face was a little pale. She nodded to Old Mr. Pei.
