Chapter 29: Ruolin’s Calculated Move

‘Hold back! Hold back! You must restrain yourself! This person is doing it on purpose! He’s deliberately trying to get your attention. He’s just a scumbag dumped by a woman, why should you care!’

Ruolin silently admonished herself within her mind. Only after repeating these warnings several times did she manage to discard her distractions, focusing intently on the medicine-making before her.

For cultivators refining elixirs, a disturbed mind is the greatest taboo; complete dedication is required. The same held true for apothecaries crafting medicines.

Just moments ago, from the viewing platform, Lu Yuan had observed Ruolin, this young woman, still glancing around despite being at a critical juncture in her medicine preparation. A wave of disappointment washed over him.

Among all the participants on stage, she was the only one behaving in such a manner. Although her subsequent recovery efforts were quite commendable, her image in Lu Yuan’s eyes had already been significantly tarnished.

Lu Yuan was precisely such a person. He rarely took others’ attitudes toward him to heart. However, if one acted in a way that contradicted his principles, his impression of them would swiftly change.

It had to be said, Ruolin’s reputation as a genius beauty apothecary, having been transferred to the Northern Branch as Lei Yin’s replacement, was certainly well-earned. She possessed considerable skill.

Among the several new talents, her skill level was the highest. Once she managed to shake off Lu Yuan’s distracting influence, her technique began to flow smoothly. Before long, the demonstration drew to a close.

Ding!!

The crisp chime of a bell instantly captured everyone’s attention.
