章節 1365: A Secret

Huo Yao knew what Chairman Wang wanted to say. She glanced at the box and explained without bringing up the Shangguan clan. "I had the good fortune to study medicine under a master previously and my master gave these needles to me."

She was unsurprised that Chairman Wang could recognize the floral pattern on the box.

After all, he was the chairman of the Apothecaries' Association and was a very knowledgeable man. More importantly, his master was from the Shangguan clan, so it was normal for him to be able to recognize the pattern.

The story struck a chord in Chairman Wang since his master also came from an unusual background. Unfortunately, he was not very gifted, so he was average in medicine refinement and medical skills.

Chairman Wang knew fully well that he could not compare to Huo Yao. After snapping out of his daze, he returned the box to Huo Yao and stopped probing. He simply said with a serious tone, "Don't worry. Mum's the word."
