"Xie Li's arrogant and smug nature makes her an ungrateful wolf. If she becomes successful, do you think you can benefit from it? Dream on! She's just waiting to take revenge on you and humiliate you!"

These words completely woke Ding Huizhu up. Yes, didn't she know Xie Li's personality all too well?

What's the point of someone like that reaching the top? They're ungrateful, cold-blooded, and heartless; they'll fall hard sooner or later.

Shen Linyuan soon learned Xie Ziyuan's exam scores.

He drove Xie Ziyuan to the TCM base using the Shen family's authorization, the highest level, which allowed him to access all resources and medicinal herbs belonging to the Shen family.

After showing Xie Ziyuan around the alchemy room he had prepared for her, Shen Linyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xie Ziyuan's cheerful demeanor.

"Ziyuan, you don't need to pay attention to those outside opinions. They are all vulgar people, frogs in a well. What do they know?"

Does academic performance determine success or failure? Shen Linyuan never valued such things.

Xie Ziyuan's excellence is multifaceted. Her talent in alchemy is astonishing; she has been comprehensively evaluated by the Shen family's Hundred Herbs Hall and is considered the best in the last hundred years.

When the result came out, Shen Linyuan was overjoyed for Xie Ziyuan.

Xie Ziyuan's future achievements will definitely far surpass his. She is a genius and deserves his support and guidance. Didn't you see that the old guys at Baicaotang are all vying to take Xie Ziyuan as their apprentice?

Because of this incident, he even made a special trip to the Bai family and thoroughly humiliated them.

When Xie Ziyuan was blacklisted by the Capital Chinese Medicine Association, Bai Heng not only did not offer any help, but also told Xie Ziyuan not to drag him down, which shows his cold-bloodedness and selfishness.

Back then, Bai Heng and the Bai family didn't cherish Xie Ziyuan, such a good apprentice. Now, Xie Ziyuan is no longer someone the Bai family and Bai Heng can even dream of.

Xie Ziyuan was tolerant and generous, and never said a bad word about Bai Heng. She was still very grateful to Bai Heng for bringing her into the family. But Shen Linyuan was not so kind. He always liked to hold grudges. He remembered every little thing that others did to Xie Ziyuan and waited to take revenge.

"To be able to concentrate on alchemy and still get such a score is already the height of genius. Those people who laughed at you and ridiculed you, how many of them got your score?"

Shen Linyuan's eyes burned with anger, furious at the malicious slander of those vulgar people.

"A bunch of trash, they can't even live a good life themselves, yet they dare to laugh at others."

Xie Ziyuan said with a smile, "Alright, don't be angry. Let them say whatever they want."

It wasn't that she didn't care about the final exams. Xie Li wasn't originally on the same track as her, so she could only passively chase after her glory. She hadn't originally planned to compete with Xie Li.

But Xie Li suddenly skipped a grade and went straight to the senior year of high school, putting her on the same track. She became a little restless and wanted to suppress Xie Li's arrogance.

Despite being confident of victory, Xie Ziyuan was somewhat unable to accept the setback.

Fortunately, her talent as an alchemist was finally recognized by the Shen family.

The best resources will be poured into her, and her future achievements will be unmatched by Xie Li and the Xie family.

What's the use of Xie Li having excellent grades? At best, he'll just end up as a high-level employee.

She may very well become a revered figure in the entire world of ancient medicine and martial arts, standing at the pinnacle of power, wielding absolute authority and the power to decide life and death.

Xie Ziyuan: "I will work hard to refine medicine during this period to prepare for the big exam next year."
