Chapter 479: Master Pei: Little Master Huo!
Mr. Yi entertained quite a few guests today, most of whom were old friends from aristocratic families and were also well-known figures in S City.
Min Yu and Huo Yao were both unfamiliar faces who had never appeared in the circle, so as soon as they walked into the main hall, the guests who were chatting there looked over at them with some confusion and inquiry in their eyes.
If it was someone from a wealthy family that Yi Lao went to greet personally, they would still think it was normal, but the target was two young people... This made people very curious.
Facing the gazes of other guests, Yi Lao did not reveal Min Yu's identity, but only said that he was a distant relative. Soon, everyone withdrew their curious gazes.
It is understandable for a distant relative to ask Yi's old relative to pick him up. As long as he is not an important person, there is no need to chat with him.
Even though Min Yu looked very powerful, I would feel pressured if I looked at him for any longer.
Because there were other guests to entertain, Mr. Yi arranged Huo Yao and Min Yu to sit at specially prepared seats and then walked away again.
There were exquisite pastries on the table. Min Yu reached out and took a plate, placed it in front of Huo Yao, and said calmly, "The feast won't start so soon. Let's eat something first."
Huo Yao was a foodie at heart, so she didn't hesitate to pick up a piece of hibiscus cake and put it in her mouth. It melted in her mouth and was not too sweet, which was very much to her taste, so she ate two pieces in a row.
Min Duan sat upright in his seat, his facial features were handsome and deep, and he had a cold and aloof air about him, as if strangers were not allowed to approach him. His eyes fell on the girl beside him, but there was not a trace of coldness in his eyes.
Huo Yao stopped eating after eating two or three pieces. There was a little pastry crumbs on the corner of his lips. When he was about to take a tissue from his pocket, Min Yu next to him had already handed it to him.
She looked up at him and took it, "Thank you."
Min Yu raised an eyebrow and tapped the table with his fingers, "You're welcome."
Mr. Pei and Mr. Yi are old friends who have known each other for many years, so they would naturally not miss the birthday party. He had just gone to the bathroom, and when he returned to the main hall, he saw Huo Yao at first sight. His eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.
"Master Xiao Huo."
Hearing the voice of 'Young Master Huo', Huo Yao subconsciously raised his hand to cover his forehead.
Ever since I borrowed Mr. Pei’s pharmacy, the title has become Master. It feels weird to be called Master by an old man.
With excitement on his face, Mr. Pei walked closer, greeted Min Yu, and sat down next to Huo Yao.
"Master Xiao Huo, I followed your steps to make the calming incense that you gave me last time, and it has worked."
Of course, he would never say that he had tried countless times before barely reaching the level of success.
Huo Yao then put down his hand, turned his head to look at Mr. Pei, and praised him with a fake smile: "You are awesome!"
When Master Pei heard this, he coughed and said, "You wrote a very detailed prescription."
"The incense with that formula is more targeted. There is not much point in ordinary people using it." Huo Yao said with a raised eyebrow.
"I know." Mr. Pei chuckled and said shamelessly, "How about you teach me another common incense that helps me sleep?"
Huo Yao's forehead throbbed, and he immediately replied: "I can't do anything else, I only know this one."
After she finished speaking, Min Yu next to her looked at her silently.
Old Pei stroked his beard, feeling a little regretful, but then he thought, Xiao Huo is a genius in alchemy, and making incense may not be something she has done much research on. After all, making incense is a very difficult task.
