The Queen Of The Dark
TQOTD Chapter XCVIII [Certificate of pharmacist I]

The large writing inscribed with the black rose inn being a welcome to the presence of Yue Liang Zhi, his hands stretched out to clean the snowflakes that were still stuck on his clothes. He stepped in with light steps, his figure like floating amidst the hustle and bustle of the crowd. The index finger of the right hand tapped on the table, “excuse me miss, did miss see the group of cultivators from the Qinglong sect enter this inn?”

The maid looked down at the little beauty in red, her eyes turning to the left trying to remember, “ah, I remember. They're already in the room, come on... This waiter will escort young miss.”

Yue Liang Zhi pulled both corners of her lips to form a thin arch, “thank you.”

The two shadow lines were intending to walk together, the older one would lead the way towards the room.

“Servant! I need an extra bowl of rice!” Shouted a woman facing the back of Yue Liang Zhi, seen three men in another chair displaying a haughty and blunt face.

The steps of the woman's service came to a halt, her body turned to face the caller, “sorry miss, it is not my duty.” His words were indeed true, he was only in charge of welcoming guests and calculating finances.

Xiu Jieru kicked off the table until some of the jumping plates flew off, the innocent plate landed on its stomach on the floor, “sassy! How dare a servant like you ignore my orders, I am a pharmacist from the Xiu clan!”

A pharmacist?

The servant ran closer like a trance, he assumed that he had offended an important person. In reality, the identity of a pharmacist was indeed not to be underestimated.

Xiu Clan? Tsk, tsk. The blood flowing throughout the Xiu clan members was too bad! Wherever and whenever, they only know to oppress and oppress.

A slanted smile sneered down on self-esteem like a habit on Xiu Jieru's lips, he raised his chin defiantly against the sky with a puffed up chest full of sophistication. His eyes implied an aura of arrogance that was full of pride.

Yue Liang Zhi's left hand blocked the palm of the servant in front of her, “I am also a pharmacist.”

Three men showed a stiff smile.

Xiu Jieru's face turned ugly, he only realized the presence of the heavenly beauty clad in red clothes. That beauty made him envious, yet his gaze turned into a sneer, “you are a pharmacist? Hey, you think the title pharmacist is so easy to take like someone who steals fruit in a neighbor's garden. Everyone in the apothecary hall will definitely never let you lie to others with that title, your boasting makes me want to spit.”

No waves like water ripples occurred on Yue Liang Zhi's face, “I am indeed a second-rate pill apothecary.”

Xiu Jieru laughed, he could not believe the red figure's words. He himself had studied for many years and was appointed a disciple of an apothecary in the Lan Kingdom hall, refining a tier one pill as much as two pills. Ever take the exam to be a pharmacist, but failed at the last stage. Of course, this is only known by the supervisors and examiners. He thought that he was not wrong to claim to be a pharmacist, but in the future he will indeed become a pharmacist. “If you are a pharmacist, now show me your pharmacist certificate.”

“No,” Yue Liang Zhi shook her head and successfully became the laughingstock of the four people. In reality, he had indeed not registered as a pharmacist in the hall.

Second man: “He thinks he can surpass Goddess Jieru, huh! Just die there.”

First man: “Sweetie, her beauty is so wasted.”

Xiu Jieru's heart felt it had flown away from his body, their insults sounding like praise to him. The corner of the upper left lip is slightly raised to crush, “if you are indeed a pharmacist, I can take you to meet the members of the apothecary hall. But with the bet when you failed the test, that second you also had to crawl under my feet while apologizing.”

Third man: “That boy is just bragging, Goddess need not be too kind.” The man stared at Yue Liang Zhi's body from the ground up, “let him bark like anji*g looking for his master.”

Yue Liang Zhi's two hands were in front of her chest, her mouth clenched with her tongue twitching every tooth, “agreed... We will meet tomorrow morning in front of this inn,” he feels challenged to humiliate the other members of the Xiu clan.

“Good.”

Yue Liang Zhi threw her face the other way, she hinted for the female servant to immediately lead the way.

Two shadow lines walked away from the four Xiu clan members, both of them continued to walk down the hall until they reached the front door of the room. The servant bowed and immediately said farewell, the servant also thanked Yue Liang Zhi for being willing to defend herself when pressed by the younger generation of the Xiu clan.

As soon as the door opened, Yue Liang Zhi had been greeted by another disciple from the Qinglong sect. The most spirited person was Wei Shuwan, the boy even to the point of giving a tight hug like a cobra wrapped around his prey. Everyone spoke on the topic of a mild, uninterrupted warm atmosphere very soothing the last day of winter. They were all separated on the day before night, the next morning they planned to enjoy the first day of spring and would return to the sect in the afternoon.

The morning had arrived, the sunrise from the eastern horizon was slowly shining down on the Ziang continent. The two groups walked down the stairs, sister Wei as usual always fussing over trivial matters, Bai Yun and Lei Hu will prank Wei Shuwan to satisfaction. According to them, judging Wei Jun's sister to tears was the safest thing to do than pricking a small child who from the surface looked like frozen ice for millions of years.

The group of Xiu Jieru was surprised to see the presence of Yue Liang Zhi who was walking beside Tao Jianying, secretly beset with an inexplicable sense of having offended the Qinglong sect disciple. They were not blind to the fact that the Patriarch of the Xiu clan had always favored his two children, in order to surpass the popularity of Xiu Juan and Xiu Zhuting, Xiu Jieru had to learn crazily in refining pills.

Yue Liang Zhi's head tilted slightly to the left, she then published a cunning smirk. It was not his fault to accept the bet, they themselves who from the start had provoked him. “Aya, it looks like I have a sudden affair,” he said making a face full of regret. It managed to cause confusion because suddenly he displayed another mimic in addition to endless flatness, “I promise I will catch up with you after my small business is done,” he raises his right hand with his index and middle finger pointing to the sky as if swearing.

All their astonishment was changed to one word, “alah.”

Yue Liang Zhi's steps approached Xiu Jieru's group, both of her hands were beautifully braided behind her back, “wait what else? You'll lead the way, right.”

“Ah, follow us.” Xiu Jireu blinked his eyes, he then condemned his confusion a moment ago.

The three members of Yue Liang Zhi's group and Tao Jianying's group were astonished at Yue Liang Zhi's attitude, they were at a loss how could the little red find another comrade without their knowledge. It looks like there will be another stir after this.
