Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

The two people next to them were talking in hushed tones.

Ling Wendong did not participate, but instead glanced at Shan Li a few more times.

Because Shan Li is the only female A-level pharmacist, many people's attention is focused on her, especially since she was able to concoct such a good medicine today.

It is particularly noteworthy.

But Ling Wendong looked at her differently; his eyes held not admiration, but inquiry and doubt.

"This girl is good. I remember she passed the Level A pharmacist exam last year, right?"

Li Jin greatly admired Shan Li. He didn't deliberately lower his voice; instead, he smiled, softening his previous seriousness, and spoke softly to Qin Kang.

Qin Kang pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his pale fingers. "Old Li has a good memory."

Li Jin smiled and said, "I'm getting old."

Qin Kang glanced in Lu Qingyun's direction, a smile curving his lips. "Old Li, you're joking. Your abilities are undeniable. We still have a lot to learn from you. How can you say you're old?"

Qin Kang was incredibly eloquent; Li Jin was now chatting happily with him, showing no sign of seriousness whatsoever.

"She's progressing so fast."

Yan Chou crossed his legs, leaned slightly closer to Lu Qingyun, and whispered in her ear.

Shan Li performed exceptionally well today, and everyone present had high hopes for her.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Lu Qingyun's lips. She slightly raised her dark eyes, revealing a cold and distant look at the corners of her eyes. "I hope she stays like this."

The words sounded like a blessing, but Yan Chou felt a chill in them.

Before he could ask any further questions, the process had already reached the final step: writing the prescription.

The prescriptions for the five people will be displayed on the screen for everyone's reference.

When Shan Li's prescription appeared on the screen, Zhou Ming, who was waiting to go on stage, was stunned.

Isn't this the prescription that my sister-in-law modified?

Why did Shan Li use it as a prescription for the competition?

That's a bit unfair.

Zhou Ming frowned.

Shan Li won as expected thanks to this prescription, and now it's time for the next occasion.

Zhou Ming happened to be in this match.

Sitting at the judges' table was incredibly boring. After three rounds, during a break, Lu Qingyun pulled down her mask and said, "Next, we'll change people. I have something to do later."

Yan Chou handed her a glass of water. "Okay, there are only three more matches left. Apart from the first and second rounds, there aren't many contestants who are worth looking at. I'll take you home later. If you're not in a hurry, Sister Yun, would you like to take a look around the venue?"

The venue was very large, because it was invested in by Gu Jinming, so he had plenty of money, and the equipment inside was especially complete.

Lu Qingyun had the same idea. What she had just said about having something to do was actually just browsing around the venue. Now that someone was willing to show her the way, she was naturally happy to do so.

"Row."

Seeing that she agreed, Yan Chou turned around and went to tell the old guys backstage about it.

Apart from Li Jin, who didn't leave, Lu Qingyun and the others felt bored, so they simply handed over the last three matches to the substitutes.

Yan Chou said he was going to the restroom and asked Lu Qingyun to wait for him.

With nothing else to do, she leisurely looked at the murals on the wall.

Then, as she walked to the corner, she heard some soft, rustling sounds.

Lu Qingyun raised her eyebrows, tried to keep her footsteps as quiet as possible, and took a few steps forward.

There's a dead corner in the wall; most people wouldn't wander into this place, except for Lu Qingjun, who doesn't know her way around.

The person making the call from the blind spot was Ling Wendong.

He didn't notice Lu Qingyun not far away. He had his back to her, his expression was serious, and his tone was very concise.

"Hmm, today is the qualifying round, and no suspicious persons have been found."

Does a girl's exceptional performance count?

“I know, I will find her before them.”

"Bai Qing? I didn't notice. I only saw a little girl, who was covered up. I couldn't see what she looked like, so I don't know if it was her."

"Yes, I understand. If you find anything, call me or contact Lingqiao."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

He looked around warily, and finding no one had noticed, he quickly walked out, phone in hand.

Lu Qingyun slowly appeared only after everyone had gone far away.

Did he just mention Lingqiao?

They both have the surname Ling, could they be brothers?

Just as she was pondering this, Yan Chou came looking for her.

"Sister Yun, you're here! I was just looking for you."

The moment he looked up, he was locked in by Lu Qingyun's dark, deep eyes.

Ugh, I have a bad feeling about this for no reason.

Do you know Ling Wendong?

Lu Qingyun instinctively reached for her hand in her pocket, but when she realized she was wearing a skirt, she silently withdrew her hand.

"You mean that aloof judge from earlier?"

Lu Qingyun hummed in agreement.

Yan Chou led her forward, saying, "Sister Yun, what do you need to know? I'll go back, find his information, pack it up, and send it to you."

"all."

"Row."

-

The attic.

Gu Jinming frowned when he saw a corner of the surveillance footage showing Yan Chou and Lu Qingyun walking together.

I don't know why, but I felt a bit uncomfortable watching it.

Who is this girl?

The pale, cold fingertip tapped a corner of the screen.

Ok?

girl?

Jin-ye actually asked about another girl?

Wow, what a miracle!

Zhou Ming, who had just returned to his room after finishing his exams, immediately perked up his ears upon hearing this.

Tang Meng looked in the direction he was pointing.

“She came in with Young Master Yan. I think she is very likely the judge that the person in charge mentioned, the one who made the Primordial Spirit-Replenishing Pill.”

Zhou Ming took a sip of water. "I agree with the judges; they even gave me a score just now. But the fact that she's the one who makes the Primordial Spirit-Replenishing Pill is a bit unbelievable."

After all, she looks really young.

He doesn't seem like someone who could make the Primordial Spirit-Replenishing Pill at all; it would be more believable if he were a junior.

Gu Jinming raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but his lips remained pursed.

"Are they close?"

Tang Meng and Zhou Ming exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled as to why Gu Jinming suddenly cared about this.

"They probably have a pretty good relationship. The person Yan was waiting for at the door just now was probably her. When I went downstairs and ran into them, they seemed to be behaving quite intimately."

Tang Meng recounted everything he had seen and heard.

Tsk.

After hearing this, Gu Jinming's aura became even colder than before.

Tang Meng was dumbfounded.

Did I say something wrong?

Zhou Ming, hands in his pockets, leaned lazily against the table. "Master Jin, I've discovered something."

"explain."

"Do you remember that the prescription that Shan Li brought over that day was changed by your sister-in-law?"

Gu Jinming nodded, signaling him to continue.

"Did you watch Shan Li's match just now?"

This actually caught his attention; Gu Jinming didn't watch the first show.

Tang Meng found it strange at the time, and later asked about it. Who would have thought that his Master Jin would suddenly say to him, "As a married person, you should avoid suspicion."

Avoid what suspicion?

You really care about the young mistress, huh?

Oh, what did Master Jin say back then?

"You single people don't understand how we married people feel."

Three question marks instantly appeared above Tang Meng's head.

"how?"

Zhou Ming said, "Shan Li used the prescription modified by her sister-in-law to compete, and she has just passed the test, receiving unanimous praise from the four judges."

"Who's left?"

"Neutral," she left a message.

"What?"

"I hope you can maintain this level."
