But when the night was deep and quiet, Dongfang Mian lay alone in bed, always feeling that something was not quite right. She went through everything in her mind from childhood to adulthood, and went through the events of today several times, but still couldn't find any problems. She could only comfort herself by telling herself not to think too much.
In the days that followed, Dongfang Mian was cared for by her parents and younger sister. After Dongfang Mian recovered, Chen Yan came to find her and said, "Sister, didn't you say you wanted to take the alchemist apprentice exam? The Alchemist Guild is offering the exam now. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Of course we're going!" Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mian quickly got out of bed, washed up, and tidied herself up before heading towards the Alchemist Guild hand in hand with Shen Yan.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Alchemist Guild, they saw a burly, hot-tempered man throwing a tantrum at the entrance.
Shen Yan hurriedly went forward to inquire, and then returned to tell Dongfang Mian, "That man is Dongfang Yuanyan from the Dongfang family. He has a terrible temper. He only got angry because the person who received him was a little negligent. But I really envy the disciples of the Dongfang family. They all have special bloodlines with fire attributes, and each of them can become an alchemist."
"Don't talk nonsense," Dongfang Mian said sternly, suddenly annoyed when she heard Shen Yan mention Dongfang Yuanyan.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Shen Yan asked cautiously.
Dongfang Mian shook her slightly aching head and said, "I'm fine, let's go."
Dongfang Mian didn't tell Shen Yan that she felt a strange sense of familiarity when she saw the Dongfang family. She found it very strange. Although the Shen family was considered well-known, it was nothing compared to the behemoth that was the Dongfang family. How could she possibly have any connection with the Dongfang family?
As he approached the registration desk, the person registering looked up at Dongfang Mian and said, "Name."
"Mu Bai," Dongfang Mian blurted out.
Shen Yan quickly shook her arm, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm sorry, my sister's name is Shen Mian. She was injured some time ago and is still a bit confused," Shen Yan said ingratiatingly to the disciple registering the information.
"If you're not smart, just stay home. You're dreaming of becoming an alchemist," the person registering the registration said with complete disdain.
Dongfang Mian slammed her hand on the table angrily, “I am a supreme bloodline of fire attribute.”
The person in charge of registration laughed out loud, "You're ridiculous. Everyone who comes here has a special bloodline with fire attributes. I suggest you go home and get your head checked."
Just as Dongfang Mian was about to get angry, Shen Yan dragged her out.
"Sister, what's wrong with you today? Are you still feeling unwell? I'll take you back to find Father!" Shen Yan said anxiously.
Dongfang Mian's mind was also in a mess. She didn't know why she had the strange idea that special bloodlines with fire attributes would receive preferential treatment, and the name that slipped out of her mouth made Dongfang Mian's head ache even more.
Obediently following Shen Yan back, the Shen family head anxiously summoned a physician to treat Dongfang Mian. After examining her, the physician found nothing unusual and simply advised Dongfang Mian to rest more.
As a result, Dongfang Mian was forced to stay in the mansion and rest in bed in her room every day.
Fortunately, her younger sister Shen Yan and her stepmother Guo would come to visit her every day.
"Mian'er, you must take good care of yourself. Our Shen family has only produced one person with such special bloodline in all these years. You absolutely cannot have anything happen to you," Guo said while peeling melon seeds for her.
"Thank you for your concern, Mother. It's all my fault for being so disappointing. If only my bloodline could be given to Yan'er," Dongfang Mian sighed.
