Chapter 1569: Chapter 1569: Just One Minute, I Can Wait
Silently recalling the position of each medicinal herb in her mind, she planned to speed up later.
You can’t blame her for resorting to tricks, it’s all because of how smug Diwu Zexuan was. Today, she’d make sure he tasted the bitter flavor of defeat!
Rui Hui thought to herself, her confidence surging as she memorized the herbs even faster.
After ten minutes had passed, confirming she had mastered the dozens of herbs on the prescription, Rui Hui finally leisurely set down the prescription, “I’m ready.”
“I’ll give you a minute.”
Diwu Zexuan raised an eyebrow and leaned lazily against the herb preparation counter, “You can start now.”
“…”
Rui Hui froze, her pride immediately challenged. Her expression darkened with anger in an instant.
“Diwu Zexuan, I know your medical skills are great, but don’t look down on me, Rui Hui Adolf! I don’t need your charity; I can beat you fair and square!”
“Who said I was trying to give you charity? I just don’t want someone making excuses later if they lose. It’s only a minute; I can afford to wait,” Diwu Zexuan glanced at her indifferently and threw out the comment casually.
His silver pupils flickered with a light Rui Hui couldn’t decipher.
“I can afford to gamble, and I can accept losing too. Save your schemes—soon, you’ll see my power!” Rui Hui fumed, shaking her fist furiously.
“So, shall we start the competition now?”
“Of course!”
“If you lose, no excuses, no backing out?”
“Of course!”
Rui Hui responded with two firm “of course”s, glaring at Diwu Zexuan with an intense desire to annihilate the smug bastard with just her gaze.
They hadn’t even started the match yet, and he was already fretting over her making excuses if she lost.
No one even knew yet who’d win or lose!
“Three, two, one, start.”
As Diwu Zexuan finished counting, Rui Hui suddenly dashed across the pharmacy like a spinning top.
The prescription meant for Dan Hanjie was extremely complex, containing many rare medicinal herbs. Not only were their names similar, but their taste and appearance were barely distinguishable.
Even Diwu Zexuan himself would need a moment to identify them without checking the labels on the drawers.
Yet Rui Hui darted straight for several herb boxes upon starting, trusting her instincts without even glancing at the labels, quickly grabbing the herbs and measuring them on the balance scale.
Diwu Zexuan’s gaze deepened slightly.
During this period of time, when she was tasked with gathering herbs, she complained outwardly but always finished the assignments.
Behind the scenes, she must’ve put in quite a lot of effort.
Her growth was truly rapid.
Diwu Zexuan watched her for over ten seconds before Rui Hui caught him looking and glared back at him. Only then did he casually straighten up and walk over to the shelves.
His flawlessly precise right hand moved as if it was dancing among the herb boxes.
Moving so fast that Rui Hui couldn’t properly see, he swiftly picked up more than ten herbs, placing them straight into the herb collection box without even using the balance scale.
“Wait a second—you’re cheating!”
Rui Hui lost her temper, rushing forward to grab his arm to stop his actions.
She raised her voice, shouting, “Your prescription clearly specifies the weight for each herb! You’re just grabbing them randomly; the measurements are definitely off!”
“Who said measuring weights must rely on a scale? My hand can grab the exact weight of each herb in a split second.”
Diwu Zexuan shrugged off her hand, his graceful figure pivoting as he continued picking herbs.
In less than two minutes, he had completed the collection of over forty herbs and returned to the herb preparation counter.
Looking at Rui Hui, who was still frozen in place, completely stunned.
“Idiot, you lost.”
“I did not! Your herb weights are definitely wrong; absolutely wrong!” Rui Hui snapped back to reality and immediately stormed forward.

PS: Countdown to an explosive reveal—three days to go! Oh my, Diwu Zexuan, how could you bully our Rui Hui like this?! (^o^)/~
