Chapter 376 Slapping Someone in the Face in Public
Old Yuan scoffed, "You alone are worth the entire Apothecary Guild. Isn't that freakish? If I could awaken such a power, I'd be laughing in my sleep."
"It's said that the probability of an S-class awakened ability is 0.0015%. You probably still have seventy or eighty years to live, so you still have a chance."
"Would you die if you didn't insult me?" Old Yuan glared and puffed out his beard. "Do you understand the saying 'a teacher for a day is a father for life'? How can you be so disrespectful to your teacher?"
Qu Tong teased, "You're about to become someone else's master."
"Didn't you say I could take on apprentices?" Old Yuan chuckled twice, then immediately said with a firm look in his eyes, "Even if I have new apprentices, you, girl, are still one of a kind."
That's no lie. Back then, he shamelessly tried to teach Qu Tong how to make potions, wasn't it all because of his own selfish motives?
He saw the potential in Qu Tong's "talent" and wanted to use her to realize his unfulfilled ambitions.
But his selfishness and his true feelings are not in conflict.
I never expected it to be achieved in this way, and I never imagined I would be able to prepare the medicine myself again, and even take it to the next level.
Qu Tong was just joking and didn't really take it seriously.
The two quickly became engrossed in preparing the potion.
Miss Ali's God of Wealth Temple did not offer any premium potions in the second month after the first month.
However, in the third month, or more precisely, at the end of the second month, two more premium-grade potions were put on the shelves, while the number of advanced-grade mental potions continued to steadily increase by ten.
The internet exploded instantly:
[Wow! Miss Ali has changed her ways? She's finally not putting potions on the shelves at midnight anymore.]
[What a lucky day it is today! Miss Ali's family celebrated two whole days early!]
[Don't you have internet upstairs? Tonight's the Lan family's charity gala.]
No wonder! They're going head-to-head with the Apothecary Guild.
[Old Yuan: Let's go for it! Who's afraid of who? We're all master potion makers, aren't we?]
[There are actually two top-grade potions this time, but that's irrelevant to me. I'll just grab the high-grade mental energy stabilizing potion.]
[Haven't you noticed that all these pharmacists in the Pharmacist Guild can't defeat Elder Yuan and Jun Li together?]
Yes, Miss Ali's shop has more and more potions on the shelves, almost matching the quantity of the Apothecary Guild.
[I've heard that preparing potions also requires mental strength. Miss Ali is an SSS-level mental strength user, while Elder Lan is only S-level. It's not surprising that she can prepare more potions.]
I'd like to ask those who were initially blocked what they're thinking now.
Don't ask, the only answer is my thighs are bruised from slapping, but thankfully my parents' accounts still work, [witty].jpg
[Hahaha, thankfully I've always been a loyal supporter of Miss Ali's family, and I managed to snag another potion this time, so happy!]
I love this kind of business warfare; let the storm rage on!
Many people watched the spectacle, and the internet was abuzz with cheers. The event completely overshadowed the charity gala that the Pharmacists Guild had painstakingly prepared for over half a month.
Fei Wenxing was shocked to learn that Qu Tong was going to attend the Lan family's banquet that evening.
"You're still going? Aren't you afraid of getting a sack stuck in your head?"
"What's the difference between this and publicly slapping someone in the face? Everyone knows you're in cahoots with Sister Yuan Li!"
Qu Tong leisurely redeemed the unused points from the virtual warehouse, saying casually, "What's there to be afraid of? We still have His Highness the God of War with us."
"Okay! You're tough. I wouldn't dare join in the fun, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back my laughter too loudly," Fei Wenxing said timidly.
Of course, Qu Tong didn't recommend them go either. Now the Lan family and she were like oil and water, and if she really got desperate, she might take her anger out on them.
After finishing her morning classes, Qu Tong went home early to prepare.
Although the Empress had prepared all the clothes for her long ago, Qianqian still needed to dress her up for a while.
While waiting outside, Si Yuting inadvertently noticed a large expenditure from the shared account.
Wasn't the money he transferred to Ali enough?
Upon opening it, the time was from a few days ago, and the amount was around ten million, with both whole and odd amounts. It was clear that Ali's own account didn't have enough money, and the rest was deducted from his shared account.
The purpose is for personal money transfer.
"Squeak-"
The locker room door opened, and Qu Tong walked out.
Is it pretty?
Si Yuting exited the computer interface and looked up.
Qu Tong chose a simple yet sexy strapless dress this time, with hand-embroidered floral patterns and an overall blue and white color scheme.
The purple pearl on her chest remained unchanged, but a new crystal necklace was added, with the pearl placed perfectly in the center, complementing each other beautifully.
The silver high heels adorned with diamonds exude a noble and elegant air, while white pearl strands wrap around the slender ankles, draping down in a staggered pattern.
Qu Tong twirled around, her skirt billowing like waves.
This made Qu Tong look absolutely stunning.
"nice."
Si Yuting never used flowery words; the simplest two words revealed his genuine praise.
He'll say it directly if it doesn't look good.
Just like last time, she wore a very low-cut, form-fitting dress, and Si Yuting bluntly said, "It looks good, but it exposes too much of your chest and back. I don't really want you to go out like this, but if you want, you can wear a shawl with it."
Then, Si Yuting personally went to the fitting room to find her a shawl in the same color scheme.
"Let's go then." Since there was nothing wrong with it, Qu Tong didn't pay much attention to it.
The apothecary guild's banquet wasn't enough for her to dress up; the clothes and accessories the Queen had prepared for her were simply too beautiful.
Si Yuting skillfully took Qu Tong's outstretched hand and led her into the hovercar.
Charity dinners are large gatherings and not suitable for large flying docks; hovercars would be much more convenient.
When Lan Xingye and his entourage received her, he was clearly gritting his teeth, but he still had to maintain a polite smile on his face.
Qu Tong ignored him completely and nodded in one direction.
Si Yuting followed Qu Tong's gaze and saw Lin Mo turn and enter the inner area.
Glancing sideways at the ill intent in Qu Tong's eyes, the little fox was about to trick someone again.
Before the charity auction officially began, the Lan family arranged a beast fighting event for people to watch and bet on. Those who liked to watch could go to the arena.
Halfway through the movie, Si Yuting received a call from Gong Yun. Instead of answering immediately, Si Yuting looked at Qu Tong.
Qu Tong chuckled: "Go pick me up! I'm not a child anymore, do I need a guardian to watch over me?"
Si Yuting pursed his lips, knowing Qu Tong's strength, but still somewhat worried. He called Xuan Ping over and instructed him, "Don't run around."
Qu Tong stuck out her tongue.
Si Yuting affectionately adjusted Qu Tong's headdress and went out to find a quiet place to answer the call.
Just after Si Yuting left, a guard-like man came to her, saying, "The King invites you."
Qu Tong saw Si Xian looking this way from across the stands.
It seems I can't refuse.
The area is still within the Colosseum, so it shouldn't be considered wandering around.
"Should we tell the general?" Xuanping asked in a low voice.
"No need," Qu Tong waved her hand.
We can't bother Si Yuting with everything; he's clearly busy.
