Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 683

"I'm done." Before the man could finish his tea, Pearl stood confidently, waiting for him to check her work.

The corner of his lips couldn't help but twitch. So fast? Even his students took half a month just to remember where the herbs were

kept.

However, he couldn't blindly trust that everything Pearl picked was correct. He stepped forward and carefully examined each herb

she had chosen.

After checking, he frowned. The first two ingredients were fine, but the other two would counteract the effects of the first ones.

This medicine would likely cause diarrhea.

"Did you remember the formula wrongly?" he asked.

Pearl looked up at him with an innocent expression. "No way, this is the right formula. Don't you know it?"

"I've been a doctor for forty years so | know the basic prescriptions for typhoid fever." The man didn't expect that she would

question his own skills, his expression not looking pleased.

Pearl burst into laughter. "Well, | guess you haven't updated your knowledge or innovated for a long time."

She was challenging his expertise!

The man's expression suddenly changed. "That's impossible. | mixed these herbs together before, and it turned out to be useless!"

"It's probably a problem with the way you prepared it then." Pearl shrugged, showing no signs of nervousness at all.

The man narrowed his eyes, looking confused. "Are you saying you've successfully made this medicine before?"

Pearl had to explain herself. "Simon used to treatwith this when | had a cold. I've had it so many times that | can tell what's in

it just by tasting it."

Her explanation sounded outrageous but made sense. When the man saw the confident yet humble look on her face, he couldn't

help but sigh. "You'll be a force to be reckoned with in the future."

How could a girl like her be Simon's apprentice? The thought of Simon made him angry, and his expression changed from

appreciation to regret.

"So did | pass?" Seeing the quick change in his expression, Pearl couldn't figure out what was on his mind.

The man cleared his throat. "I... If you want to pass, | have another condition."

"What is it?" Pearl asked, her suspicion growing as she noticed his unnatural expression.

"If you stop being Simon's apprentice, I'll give you the herbs."

Pearl was dumbfounded. Having this man as her mentor would mean owning all the herbs in the warehouse, and his other

apprentice would be left out. That guy wasn't very capable anyway...

"You can't afford to hesitate. If you reject this offer, you risk losing everything!" The man's cunning nature was evident, and his

face seemed to glow more with each word.

Pearl couldn't tell what the man was thinking, and she hesitated. Although Simon was quite annoying, she wouldn't want to cut ties

with him. "Your request is a bit too much. | won't do it."

The man snorted coldly. "If you don't want to, forget it. Please leave!" He was angry because the apprentice he was so close to

having was leaving.

However, Pearl's expression suddenly turned into a sneer. "But... if you're not going to give it to me, I'm going to get it the hard

way."
