Chapter 227 - 88: The Legendary Genius Pill Master
Today is precisely the day for the Imperial Alchemist’s examination, which begins in the afternoon.
Yue Jinghua, on her way, spared no effort in using the Small Cloud Trace Steps, swiftly heading towards Polo City.
During her half-month absence, she didn’t know whether Hongling had managed to keep her whereabouts hidden; if her beautiful mother found out about her coma, things might not look optimistic.
From Xuanji Academy to Lie Family Mansion, it takes about an hour using the Cloud Trace Steps; preparing the examination equipment and then rushing to the palace takes another hour.
To avoid attracting attention, Yue Jinghua did not leave through the main gate of Lie Family Mansion. Instead, she took a shortcut and went around to Jingxin Courtyard.
Upon entering her room, she saw the little boy Yue Chen standing with his hands propped up, eagerly watching as she rushed in.
"You really only show up at the last critical moment," Yue Chen yawned. He was not her beautiful mother, subject to Hongling’s nonsensical excuses that Yue Jinghua was in closed-door advancement.
Since he had known Yue Jinghua, he had never seen her practice any skills.
Yue Jinghua could be considered both the laziest and the most industrious person in the world.
When diligent, she could spend three days and nights crafting Elixir Pills for the small pharmacy; when lazy, she even found changing clothes troublesome.
