As a figure known as the God of Medicine in the entire Pharmaceutical industry, Pharmacist Li is a Godlike existence in the hearts of many pharmacists.
The NIO Research Institute under her name produces carious reagents and toxins each year with absolute strictness in quality.
The records set on the intercontinental world have been unresolved. All the toxic drugs produced have certain standards and requirements and the poison produced have been unresolved by anyone so far.
With such a reputation, there is no need for those present to verify her abilities.
Tong Qi came down from the stage with the trophy in his arms, his earlier triumphant look is replaced by a look of disgrace.
It is like holding a timebomb in his arms.
An Zisu and Qian Yi surrounded him and looked at Wen Li with joy. It was as if she were a pure and harmless kitten they had picked up and were raising and the kitten grew into a tiger, which was also extremely surprising.
"Wen Li, can you accept me as an apprentice? I can do anything!" Qian Yi said sincerely.
Although Wen Li is very young, she is so powerful.
To become the apprentice of the Medicine God is not an ordinary honor.
"Go," An Zisu pushed the person aside. "I knew you were so powerful, but I never imagined you were Pharmacist Li. If you had revealed your identity earlier, we wouldn't have had to compete."
She is definitely in the top spot and no one else present can compare to her.
Moreover, they were bullied by a petty person for nothing.
"I wanted to confirm some things, but they are almost the same as what I expected." Wen Li raised her eyes and swept over the crowd.
The person who had been chattering incessantly about Wen Li just a moment ago quickly lowered his head.
A group of people mocked her for cheating but they did not expect that Wen Li, who only made one reagent per year, would be someone they would look up to for the rest of their lives.
"So what? She met with Old Master Bai privately during the competition, which is a violation of the rules. Her results will definitely be disqualified." Old Master Lin said, reminding everyone.
Seeing the he is not giving up, Bai Nanxing stepped forward and tried to persuade him.
"Is that so?" Wen Li took two steps forward to stand in front of Old Lin. "I am speaking to you as an award presenter. Do you know why the competition has such a rule?"
Old Master Lin glared at her. "What else could it be? Its for fairness of the competition."
Wen Li shook her head, and looked at the old man with a disdain on her face. "That's to prevent those who are not strong enough from resorting to underhanded tactics to win the competition. but for those who are strong enough, this rule is meaningless. Would someone with a heart of jade care about the stone statue in someone else's arms?"
Old Lin's face turned red, and no one present helped him. They all subconsciously avoided interacting with Wen Li.
Everyone knows that the weak cannot overcome the strong.
"Mr. Lin stop fooling around. Their strength is obvious. Even if they really met with Old Master Bai for a few hours, it is impossible for them to have stolen the questions." The person next to him advised.
Old Master Xiao smiled apologetically. "Brother Lin, stop talking."
If you keep talking like that you will be a laughingstock.
Each family's face still matters, if this continues it will simply become a joke.
"You.." Old Lin was persuaded by the people around him and couldn't say anything.
"Hahaha..."
A hearty laughter came from the door, and everyone looked back and saw the old man walking in.
Old Master Bai is wearing a light blue jacket, his clothes were clean and tidy, and he had a string of prayer beads hanging from his left hand.
"Old Master Bai."
Someone from the crowd called out.
Wen Li looked at the old man who had appeared. She had felt before that he was no ordinary old man, but she did not think to investigate further back then.
"Bai Guangjing, is that right?"
"Dad, Why did you come over?" Bai Nanxing stepped forward and looked at the old man.
Yuan Gui and Jin Li stood behind the old man, diligently acting as protectors.
"I heard that I seem to be mentally unstable. So I came to see who is spreading rumors about me." Bai Guangjing said, glancing at Bai Nanxing and Bai Ziling.
Luole approached from the edge of the stage, his face is filled with surprise. "Old Master."
Before the competition began, the old man had said with certainty that he would never come to the estate under any circumstances.
Although it is unclear why, since the beginning of the year, the old man's consciousness has not been clear and normal.
His mental state is not very good either.
He often disappeared from the Imperial Capital, only to return after a month or two.
The Bai family had no choice but to arrange for more people to take care of the old man, but they still couldn't prevent him from going out on his own.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Bai Nanxing smiled.
"Alright, I won't waste any more time talking to you."
Bai Guangjing stood up on stage, glaring coldly at the crowd around him, as contemptuous as ever.
"A couple of days ago when I went out, I happened to fall ill. My heart felt uncomfortable and I collapsed. It was these two young people who rescued me and even invited me to dinner. If someone hadn't come to invite me over today, I wouldn't have known that someone would take the opportunity to wrongfully accuse these two young people."
The audience listened to Old Master Bai's words and could only sit quietly. Old Master Bai is angry.
"I set this rule to prevent people from getting close to this old man and cause trouble, but this girl is different. Tell me, what can she learn from me?"
Bai Guangjing's words cut off the thoughts of everyone present.
Pharmacist Li is the only pharmacist recognized by Bai Guangjing for having abilities and skills above his own. So, it goes without saying that there is no need to clearly distinguish who is higher or lower between these two.
Even if Wen Li is younger, she is indeed powerful and can be respectfully called the God of Medicine.
"Old Master Bai, you misunderstood. We just said it was unreasonable to do so." Old Master Lin leaned over and smiled.
"Unreasonable?" Bai Guangjing snorted coldly. "Tell me, what is unreasonable? Who decided what is reasonable?"
"Are you saying that they should just have stood there and watch as this old man was dying? Is that what is reasonable? You have all lived for forty to fifty years, dedicated yourselves to the field of medicine. Chasing fame and profit, yet you've long forgotten the principle of saving the world and helping people!" Bai Guangjing snorted coldly.
Well, that is true.
"Dad, don't be angry. This is our oversight. I will definitely thank Miss Wen Li properly." Bai Nanxing persuaded the old man.
Bai Guangjing snorted coldly. "Since the competition is over, let's all disperse."
Everyone will now go back to their own homes, returning to where they came from.
Everyone in the hall gradually dispersed, but quite a few people remained waiting in their original places.
Bai Guangjing walked up to Wen Li and An Zisu and stood in front of them, his hand behind his back. "When I saw you two that day, I thought that children like you would definitely excel in the field of pharmacology. My judgement was correct."
These two children have different personalities, but they both have a kind heart that wants to save people.
When Wen Li turned around, An Zisu had already left with Qian Yi and Yingying.
His identity probably makes him unwilling to face Bai Guangjing.
"In the future, you can choose a time to visit the Bai family. Young people, your visit is welcomed by this old man." Bai Guangjing said.
Fu Yuxiu slowly walked down from upstairs. With his appearance and such presence he naturally attracted attention wherever he went.
The man approached Wen Li in a relaxed manner and gently raised his hand to rub the girl's head.
"Are you done?"
Qingya, who had been standing nearby, stared wide-eyed at the interaction between the two, wondering who this man was.
Is this the guy that Su Jingjing was talking about?
"Old Master Bai, we are leaving first." Fu Yuxiu reached out, pulling Wen Li's hand towards himself.
Bai Guangjing looked at the man and the girl in front of him and understood what was going on.
The people who went to the Bai family to find him were sent by this man. These two children really do look good together.
"Little girl, we are in the same field. I like you very much. In the future, you and that young man can come to Bai's house to find me. I can also teach you how to play chess or something." Bai Guangjing looked at Wen Li and said enthusiastically. (Runa: The young man he is talking about is An Zisu and not Fu Yuxiu.)
Wen Li felt the man tighten his grip on her hand. Something about what the old man said didn't sound quite right.
Looking at the Old man's expression, Yuan Gui knew that he was definitely going to cause trouble.
Sure enough, Bai Guangjing turned around and said to himself. "I thought they were a couple, what a pity, they seem to be a good match."
The airflow suddenly became a little cold. Wen Li looked up and the smile on the thin lips of the man beside him became stronger and stronger.
"A couple? Good Match?"
He is obviously smiling, but Feiran clearly felt the air around him getting colder.
The vinegar jar has been knocked over. (Runa: It means he is jealous.)
"Baby, explain to me, how come after just a few days apart, a man who is so well-matched with you has suddenly appeared?" Fu Yuxiu lowered his head and leaned in close.
The man's stunningly handsome face suddenly approached and is magnified before her eyes. His thin lips curling with a faint smile and coldness.
The onlookers were very curious about the interaction between the man and the girl who had outstanding temperament.
Even Feiran is waiting to see how Wen Li will coax the young master, who is a very jealous person.
Well, as a little girl she can just pull his sleeve and act cute, and it will be enough to soften a heart.
Thinking of this, Feiran scratched his head. With Miss Wen Li's temperament, it is impossible to expect her to act cutely.
Several people stared as the young girl raised her hand and her slender fingers pinched the man's beautifully contoured cheeks.
"Don't be silly." The young girl said coldly.
Qingya, who has always been calm, widened her eyes making it almost pop out.
This... This is still Wen Li?
Is this still the cold and arrogant Wen Li who kills without spilling blood?
Fu Yuxiu closed his eyes. To outsiders, they looked very affectionate but only he knew the truth.
This little girl used a lot of force in her hand squeezing very hard.
"If you keep messing around, I'll strangle you." Wen Li threatened.
The young girl's voice was so cold but to the man's ears, it sounded soft and had no intimidating power.
He reached out and held the girl's hand in his palm. A red mark from her fingers could be seen on the man's originally fair complexion.
"Okay, don't make a fuss." He patted the little girl's face and coaxed her.
"Are you hungry?" The man took her arm and led her out the door. "Let's go get something to eat."
Qingya put her hand to her forehead. It is really unlikely that this girl will learn how to have a proper relationship.
Originally, it was a loving scene and the two were very good looking. But she ended up pinching the other so hard that his face turned red.
"Who is that man?" Qingya whispered to Xia Chen's ear.
Xia Chen thought for a moment and honestly replied. "The second young master of the Fu family."
There are only a few Fu families in the entire Imperial Capital. When he said that, Qingya knew which Fu family he was referring to. She watched the two walk away together.
When she announced her retirement from S continent, she wanted to live a normal life. Live like an ordinary person, or like an elderly person, growing flowers and keeping birds.
Getting involved with the Fu family that is a cesspool of corruption is no better than the war torn S continent before.
Moreover, that place is something she can't fight with brute force alone.
"Out of thousands of choices, she picked the most troublesome one and this girl just happens to be most afraid of trouble." Qingya sighed.
Never mind, if she had found an ordinary man, he wouldn't have been good enough for her.
This man is also very capable, so he won't let Wen Li suffer any injustice.
"Miss Qingya, let me walk you out." said Xia Chen.
Qingya, who was originally planning to leave, became interested. She now intends to stay here a bit longer to see what kind of person this man is.
"Take me to find Su Jingjing." she said.
As Xia Chen nodded and turned to leave, her gaze fell on the woman standing in the corner of the hall.
Sneaky and furtive, like a mouse hiding in the shadows, recording everything.
The Imperial Capital is really quite lively. A pharmacy competition can cause quite a stir.
Yin Rong slipped through the side door of the hall and soon arrived at the door of Bai Nanxing where Bai Ziling is held.
Two bodyguards stood on either side, their faces are expressionless.
"Gentlemen, I would like to meet Miss Bai."
The two bodyguards remained expressionless and showed no intention of moving out of the way.
The door is pulled open from the inside, and Bai Ziling stood at the doorway wearing a different set of clothes.
The rose-colored form-fitting dress accentuates the woman's curvaceous figure, while the belt cinches her slender waist.
"I won't come in. This is for Miss Bai. Take good care of it." Yin Rong handed a white bottle.
Bai Ziling reached out to take the bottle and glanced at it. "Is it useful?"
Yin Rong leaned close to Bai Ziling's ear and whispered. "Not even a reincarnation of Hua Tuo could cure this."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ziling's smile deepened.
"Thank You."
Yin Rong smiled and nodded. After all, she had obtained the data she wanted, so this trip to the Imperial Capital had not been entirely fruiltless.
"I'm about to leave the Capital, If Miss Bai needs anything, she can contact this number for any kind of help."
Bai Ziling held a pure black business card in her hand, and glanced at the phone number in it.
Yin Rong quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Move aside." Bai Ziling spoke after adjusting her clothes.
The two bodyguards showed no interest of stepping aside or unwilling to say even an extra word.
Bai Ziling did not mince words. She threw the object in her hand into the air, and soon, both of them fell into the ground.
If she hadn't been in a bad mood earlier, she wouldn't have been willing to stay in her room.
Upstairs of the manor, Qian Yi and Yingying were busy packing their things. They lived here these days, and there were lots of things everywhere in the room.
Now that the competition is over, they should leave.
"Zisu, the Bai family said they would give you the ranking that belongs to you. Why don't you want it?" Qianyi is very puzzled.
They came all the way from Qingcheng to participate in the competition and get good results.
Although there were minor setbacks, they really put a lot of effort and hardwork.
Besides, its really for the sake of the reputation of the family.
In order to make an antidote, An Sizu stayed awake, for three whole days, devoting all energy to the task.
Now being able to achieve a ranking is no different from moving the strength of the An family.
But, An Zisu gave it up.
"There is no need for that." An Zisu folded his coat neatly and put it in his back pack. "There is no point in accepting an award like this."
He finds it disgusting to compete with such a group of fame-seeking people.
"Then, didn't we just waste our time?" Qian Yi said dissatisfied.
They even closed the clinic just for this, but in the end this is the result. It feel like they just wasted a lot of time.
"This trip is not a loss either. We got to know Wen Li didn't we?" An Zisu smiled.
Being able know the God of Medicine is the greatest gain.
"Yes, Wen Li is really amazing. If we could exchange medical knowledge with her in the future we can learn and grow."
An Zisu smiled, carried his backpack and led the two of them out of the room.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the station first."
Across the room, Bai Ziling leaned against the wall and looked straight at the person who had just come out.
"Are you leaving?"
When An Zisu looked at Bai Ziling again, his eyes were calm and expressionless.
"Do you need anything else?"
Bai Ziling walked up to the few people and chuckled, "It's a pity. Your purpose is not just to participate in the competition. You just left like this? Don't you feel that all your previous efforts have been wasted?"
An Zisu is used to her sarcastic behavior and have no intention to argue. "Is there anything else? If not, we are leaving."
Bai Ziling stepped forward and stopped him. "Don't rush. Let's talk some more."
Qian Yi grabbed An Zisu and pulled her close to him. "There is nothing to talk about. Miss Bai, please go back."
Bai Ziling snorted coldly, having noticed his guardedness.
"The Imperial Capital is not suitable for you. You are the child of An family. Your surname is An. This time my grandfather's affairs is an exception. Don't get close to the Bai family anymore, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
This is Bai Ziling's final warning.
"Don't worry, I don't like your Bai family that much. This is just something you care about, not what I care about. Keep your things and your bottom line."
Bai Ziling chuckled and handed over a bookmark in her hand.
"This is a parting gift. I heard that it was left by your mother back then, and now it is returned to the original owner."
Bai Ziling said as she threw the thing on the ground, turned around and left, her face full of pride.
Looking at the bookmark with yellow tassels on the ground, An Zisu squatted on the ground and picked up the walnut carved bookmark.
The crabapple blossoms on it were his mother's favorite pattern when she was alive...
