Zhuo Yun was the one calling.
Huo Yao picked up the phone as she slung her bag over her shoulder.
“Miss Huo, the herbs are ready.” Zhuo Yun sounded extrely courteous.
Huo Yao replied in surprise. “So quickly?”
“Uh huh.” Zhuo Yun paused before he put on a bold face and said, “I’m at your school gate. Are you free now?”
“Sure. Give a few minutes. I’ll be right over,” said Huo Yao.
Zhuo Yun was delighted and said, “Okay okay okay.”
Although Yang Yi should have stayed with Min Yu, he unexpectedly followed Zhuo Yun to co to No.1 Middle School. He sat in the front passenger seat as he thought about the results of his investigation regarding Huo Yao.
Zhuo Yun was spot on. She was just an ordinary middle school student who got swapped at birth and grew up in a small town. Other than this, nothing new was discovered in his investigation. For instance, he could not find out who she studied Chinese dicine with. It seed almost as though she was born with the skill.
Huo Yao was certainly mysterious.
Huo Yao bumped into Lu Xia shortly after she ca down her classroom block.
The mont Huo Yao ran into her, she thought of all the people she could encounter, it just had to be her nesis.
“Who are you?” asked Lu Xia as she stared dead straight at Huo Yao the mont she saw her.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes bafflingly. “Are you stupid or what?”
“If you are the real Huo Yao, it’s impossible for your grades to be this good, let alone make it into No.1 Middle School.” Lu Xia wanted to sound Huo Yao out.
She had to know whether Huo Yao was reborn just like she was.
However, Lu Xia did not detect the slightest reaction from Huo Yao after she finished her sentence. Huo Yao did not show any signs of anxiety and guilt, which people typically felt after getting caught.
The outco was completely different from what she imagined.
Lu Xia frowned.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you too afraid to admit it?” said Lu Xia again.
“You’re nuts,” said Huo Yao impatiently before ignoring Lu Xia and walking off.
Lu Xia looked at Huo Yao from behind with her cold eyes. In the end, she did not chase after her.

Inside the car.
“Miss Huo, the herbs...” Zhuo Yun looked into the rearview mirror as he drove.
Huo Yao was talking to Old Mr. Pei on the phone. She did not even look up when she heard Zhuo Yun. “Head straight over to Old Mr. Pei’s place.”
“Okay.” Since Zhuo Yun knew where Old Mr. Pei lived, he changed direction quickly.
Old Mr. Pei asked Huo Yao about the equipnt she needed and took a bunch of pictures and sent them to her.
Huo Yao tapped the pictures open for a look. Although he had a lot of equipnt, she could not help feeling unsatisfied. Since this was not her clan’s pharmaceutical laboratory, she could not be picky. Hence, she forced herself to pick a few items reluctantly.
Old Mr. Pei: [May I watch while you refine dicine?]
The text was worded particularly humbly.
Ever since Old Mr. Pei saw the dicine Huo Yao gave Min Yu the other day, he could not wait for Huo Yao to co over to concoct the dicine. His family thought he was going nuts.
Huo Yao replied: [Okay.]
Old Mr. Pei bead from ear to ear after he received Huo Yao’s reply. He hurriedly told his servants to prepare the equipnt Huo Yao needed to use.
They arrived at Old Mr. Pei’s place 30 minutes later.
Zhuo Yun had placed the herbs in the car before he ca to pick Huo Yao up at her school. After they got out of the car, he carried the wooden box containing the herbs. Then he and Yang Yi entered the Pei residence following Huo Yao.
