Chapter 705: Accepting a Disciple 6

Su Zian was about to slap her again.

However, the incredibly shocked Su Xi had already covered her cheek and turned to run away.

As she ran, she cried, completely wronged.

Meanwhile, on Su Luo's side.

After Nangong Liuyun left, his dragon-scaled horse was left in Su Luo's care.

At this moment, the dragon-scaled horse was waiting at the entrance of the mansion.

Su Luo leaped onto it, riding the tall horse.

In contrast, Apothecary Leng's fine steed, which was previously mighty and majestic, now looked so inferior compared to the dragon-scaled horse that it didn't even dare to move its hooves.

The two horses, one after the other, quickly arrived at the palace.

Inside the palace.

Master Rong Yun sat on a zitan wood chair, his expression indifferent.

Fairy Yaochi obediently served at his side, her expression cool, but a hint of smugness would occasionally flash in her eyes.

Seven people stood before Master Rong Yun.

These seven were court apothecaries that Emperor Jing had arranged long ago, so they were available at his beck and call.

Master Rong Yun simply said, "Present the pills you have most recently refined."

Fairy Yaochi brought the collected tray to the table in front of Master Rong Yun.

The seven bottles in the red tray were arranged in order.

These seven people, being apothecaries, were usually arrogant and domineering, but now in front of Master Rong Yun, they were like mice seeing a cat, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, the Golden Throne Hall was silent, even the sound of heartbeats was clearly audible.

Emperor Jing stared at Master Rong Yun with a solemn expression, his eyes fixed on him without blinking, afraid of missing any trace of emotion on his face.

Master Rong Yun picked up the first bottle of medicine, opened the lid and sniffed it slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he set the bottle aside.

Then came the second bottle, and the third bottle.

During this time, the Golden Throne Hall was deathly silent, and the seven people being assessed were so nervous they were almost fainting.

This opportunity was no less than changing their entire lives for them.

However, as Rong Yun's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his expression became more and more gloomy, their hearts also sank to the bottom.

As expected, after Master Rong Yun finished inspecting the last bottle of pills, he looked at Emperor Jing, a faint indifferent smile on the corner of his lips, "Is this all?"

At this moment, Emperor Jing's whole body was stiff, and his expression carried a hint of embarrassment: "Th-this…"

"These are your most outstanding apothecaries in Dongling?" Master Rong Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Could it be… not a single one is acceptable?" Emperor Jing asked awkwardly.

"Completely unacceptable." Master Rong Yun shook his head.

A hint of despondency flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes.

He should have known long ago that Master Rong Yun's conditions for accepting disciples were definitely extremely strict, it was only because he still had a glimmer of hope.

However, this could better prove Fairy Yaochi's strength.

To be favored by Master Rong Yun and kept by his side, what level of achievement must she have in alchemy?

The more Emperor Jing looked at Fairy Yaochi, the more satisfied he became.

Look, she is a perfect match for the second prince in all aspects, not a single incompatibility.

He decided to discuss a date with the Yaochi Li family tomorrow, and have them get married after Nangong returns.

At this moment, Emperor Jing, immersed in his own world, did not consider whether, if this matter really came true, with Nangong Liuyun's personality, he would directly tie up this old emperor and force him to perform the wedding rites.

Master Rong Yun glanced at Emperor Jing indifferently, and then, as if possessed, another sentence drifted out: "The quality of these apothecaries is much worse than in Xijin."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing, sitting on the dragon throne, and all the civil and military officials in the court were filled with embarrassment.

Dongling and Xijin were the closest in overall strength, and the competition was even more intense, with neither side willing to yield to the other.
