Shen Yanxiao did not hesitate with her rejection, and the four spectators were so astonished that they were speechless.

 No one would believe that an herbalist would reject a Great Herbalist’s mentorship.

 Thus, everyone believed that Shen Yanxiao had gone crazy.

 No one could comprehend the reason she rejected Pu Lisi.

 Even though she would like to stay in the library to learn more about the Blood Banquet Potion, she was sick of Pu Lisi’s personality. She knew that she would not learn much from a Great Herbalist who thought so highly of himself.

 It was much better to research on her own anyway. She knew her abilities well, so it was not like she was helpless about the Blood Banquet Potion.

 “You’d actually…” Pu Lisi’s calm emotion was stirred once again by Shen Yanxiao’s refusal.

 Did the kid have a bad brain? It was an honor for one to be his assistant, and yet she would reject it!

 Luo De’s heart ached.

 He wished that he could beat some sense into the little kid, but alas, he could not bear to do so.

 Shen Yanxiao did not care for the shock that appeared on everyone else’s faces because she knew that she had other resources for experts who would impart their knowledge on her. Xiu was a powerful being, and Yun Qi was the sole Great Summoner in the entire Longxuan Empire. She even had a smelly fart Vermilion Bird at her beck and call. Pu Lisi was simply too insignificant.

Ye Qing stared at the little kid who was bothered by neither favor nor disgrace. He had noted her every single action, so he knew that the kid was very talented in herbalism. Even the top student in the division, Shangguan Xiao, could not compare.

 Ouyang Huanyu had recommended several talented students to assist them. Unfortunately, only a few of them had barely managed to pass Shangguan Xiao’s achievements. Even though Shangguan Xiao had pretty good talents, it did not manage to move Ye Qing from his buddha-like stance. Alas, Ye Qing lamented about the lack of exceptional talents in the pool of young herbalists.

 He went to Pu Lisi’s room by chance, so he did not expect to discover a new talent there.

 When Shen Yanxiao rejected Pu Lisi’s offer without any hesitation, Ye Qing decided that he liked the stubborn kid.

 Only a handful of people had the boldness to reject a Great Herbalist.

 Ye Qing knew that he would regret it if he were to let that kid go.

 However, Ye Qing also knew that Shen Yanxiao would never agree on becoming Pu Lisi’s assistant based on her attitude toward him.

 The lightbulb went on in Ye Qing’s mind, and he smiled as he looked at Shen Yanxiao, who was already prepared to leave. “Please wait a moment, child,” Ye Qing, who had rarely asked someone to stay, said.

 Shen Yanxiao had quite a good impression of Ye Qing, so she was polite toward him. She stopped walking and looked at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing smiled and asked, “Since you are not willing to be Pu Lisi’s assistant, how would you like to assist me instead?”

 The moment Ye Qing spoke, everyone gasped.

 Pu Lisi looked at Ye Qing in astonishment, as if he could not believe his ears.

How esteemed was Ye Qing? He had not mentored any students for about twenty years before that. The Great Herbalists might have advertised for assistants, but they were actually on the lookout for talented disciples instead.
