Today's lesson is on identifying medicinal herbs.
Identifying a whole bunch of herbs can be a real headache.
When Zhou Yu saw Lan Hua, he smiled and said, "Brother Lan, what have you been busy with lately? Why have I rarely seen you after class?"
Zhou Yan'er muttered, "Yeah, have you been dating girls lately?"
Lan Hua was taken aback. A woman's sixth sense is truly amazing. Although she hadn't guessed correctly, it wasn't far off.
"You all know that Professor Fei completely ignores me. It makes little difference whether he has a tutor or not, so I get guidance from Instructor Kong outside of class!"
Zhou Yan'er pouted, "I knew you were dating girls! You've even hooked up with Instructor Kong!"
Lan Hua remained silent.
Zhou Yu smiled without saying a word.
Lan Hua glanced at Ye Jinlian in the corner; the beautiful woman was diligently studying the herbal medicines in the picture book.
She was aloof and rarely interacted with others, always preferring to be alone.
Whenever Lan Hua had a spare moment, she would secretly observe Ye Jinlian's behavior, but the woman showed no intention of getting close to her.
He noticed something: Ye Jinlian seemed to be extremely familiar with medicinal herbs.
In every class exercise, she was always the first to complete the identification training, and she did so accurately.
Instructor Chen, who taught herbal identification, greatly admired Ye Jinlian, and Ye Jinlian often consulted him on pharmacological issues.
During the break, Zhou Yu came to Lan Hua's side.
"Brother Lan, tomorrow is a day off. Are you free tonight? How about we go out for dinner together?"
"A big meal? I'll make time for it even if I'm busy!"
evening.
Lan Hua took the big gray dog down the mountain and arrived at the nearby city of Zongyang.
The big grey dog insisted on coming to such a great meal.
Zongyang City is the second largest city in the Central Region, and it would rank among the top ten in the entire Xuanhuang Continent. It is much more lively than Hejian City.
The place where Zhou Yu hosted the dinner was Deyiju, the largest and most famous restaurant in Zongyang City.
As soon as Lan Hua entered the gate of Yiju, she was stopped by the waiter.
The reason given is that cats and dogs are not allowed inside.
“This big gray dog saved my life, he’s my good brother, you have to treat him like a human being!” Lan Hua said with a smile.
The waiter refused.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu came to the rescue in time, giving the waiter a large ingot of silver, which allowed the big gray dog to enter.
Lan Hua asked, "Brother Zhou, would you mind if I, Brother Hui, were to sit at the table?"
Zhou Yu gave an awkward smile; a dog shouldn't sit with a human, but he still gave Lan Hua face.
The big gray dog didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the chair, looking all human-like.
Lan Hua saw that not only she was at the table, but also her fellow disciple Shan Jiu, and she already knew the general situation.
Zhou Yu merely wanted to use the dinner as an excuse to repay a debt of gratitude, and to take the opportunity to make friends and build connections.
Those in the royal family, more or less, harbor a lot of cunning and scheming.
However, Lan Hua felt that Zhou Yan'er was an exception.
Lan Hua took her seat and, seeing that Zhou Yu remained silent, understood the situation.
Not everyone has arrived yet.
A short while later, a stunningly beautiful woman arrived, none other than Ye Jinlian.
Zhou Yu, as expected of a member of the royal family, even invited Ye Jinlian, who had always disliked socializing, down the mountain, making his intentions even clearer.
He intends to recruit talented individuals.
Zhou Yu raised his glass and said boldly, "Everyone here is an outstanding talent from the Pill Dao Academy and even the Pill God Palace. Let's drink this cup and become good friends!"
Shan Jiu said modestly, "Brother Zhou, you're too kind. We are just ordinary disciples of the Pill God Hall, not outstanding talents!"
Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile, "How could that be? The fact that you all were able to enter the Alchemy Academy instead of the Martial Arts Academy already proves yourselves, doesn't it?"
"From now on, you will all be talents who possess the core secrets of the Pill God Palace, far surpassing the disciples of the Martial Arts Academy!"
Just as Shan Jiu was about to be modest again, a furious curse came from next door.
"Get lost! What's so great about your Alchemy Academy!"
Lan Hua and the others were taken aback.
It turned out that there was another private room next door, and the people drinking in that room also happened to be from the Martial Arts Academy.
boom!
A large hole had been opened in the wall, and on the other side of the hole, there were two tables full of people.
Most of them were new students from this year's college, and they were furious.
At one of the tables, a man with an ordinary expression was drinking alone, without even looking up.
This man was handsome and dignified, with prominent eyebrows, and appeared to be a man of strong character.
Lan Hua sensed that the situation was somewhat delicate and knew that tonight's events were unlikely to end well.
Zhou Yu was somewhat embarrassed, knowing that he had offended the disciples of the Martial Arts Academy by speaking too quickly.
Fortunately, he is tactful and can put aside his pride at any time.
"Fellow disciples, I am truly sorry. I spoke carelessly and offended you all. Please forgive me!"
"Have mercy? Have mercy my ass!" One of the students showed Zhou Yu no respect whatsoever.
Zhou Yan'er couldn't bear to see her third brother being scolded. After all, Zhou Yu was a prince, how could he be insulted like that?
"How dare you! Do you know who he is? He is..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Yu angrily rebuked Zhou Yan'er, "Yan'er, you mustn't be rude!"
The man snorted, "I think you're not the only one who thinks that the people of the Pill Refining Academy are superior; others probably have similar thoughts!"
Ye Jinlian smiled slightly, "Senior brother, please calm down. I also apologize to you on behalf of Senior Brother Zhou. The people of the Pill Dao Academy would never have the intention of looking down on you!"
But even the beauty's intervention was of no use.
"Hmph, too late! We, the disciples of the Martial Arts Academy, will duel you to vindicate our Martial Arts Academy!"
"Without my Martial Arts Academy, who would protect you alchemists?"
The martial arts academy disciples at both tables stood up in unison, except for one person who remained seated alone.
"duel?"
Zhou Yu was shocked, never expecting that he had made such a huge mess.
Lan Hua was also slightly surprised, and could see that the disciples of the Martial Arts Academy were holding their breath.
It is even possible that the two houses have a long-standing feud, which is a legacy issue.
Zhou Yu merely happened to ignite this spark.
"Indeed, a duel between the Martial Arts Academy and the Alchemy Academy!"
Zhou Yu gave a wry smile, "The duel has escalated to between academies, we've gotten ourselves into big trouble!"
See you at the martial arts arena in three days!
The members of the Martial Arts Academy left the private room one after another.
The person who had been sitting alone gave Lan Hua and Ye Jinlian a meaningful look, then smiled and left.
Zhou Yu slumped into his chair, looking at Lan Hua and Ye Jinlian with a guilty expression.
After all, he was well aware of his own capabilities.
"The duel is in three days, what should we do!"
Ye Jinlian shook her head and said softly, "I am a weak woman, Senior Brother Zhou, I cannot help you!"
Zhou Yu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked at Lan Hua, as if Lan Hua were his savior.
He knew very well that if Lan Hua didn't help him, he would have to take matters into his own hands in three days.
Lan Hua patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, "Brother Zhou, this matter started because of you. I think you should settle it personally!"
"Although the Martial Arts Academy has a large number of people, their Dan Fire level is not as high as yours, so there is still hope for victory!"
Zhou Yu was dumbfounded.
"Brother Lan, I'll do anything to help me get through this!"
Lan Hua shook her head.
"Hey Grey, are you full? Let's head out!"
After Lan Hua left, Ye Jinlian also departed, leaving behind a lingering fragrance.
When Zhou Yu saw that Shan Jiu was about to leave, he immediately stopped him.
"Brother Shan, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
Dan Jiu hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou, don't panic. I'll go back and think it over carefully! I'll also try to persuade Brother Lan for you!"
Seeing that everyone was disloyal, Zhou Yan'er was also furious.
"Third Brother, I didn't expect Lan Hua to be so heartless. Humph, I don't want to play with him anymore!"
Zhou Yu said with a wry smile, "It's all my fault, no one else is to blame!"
