Genius Doctor's Fifth Young Miss novel Chapter 1020

“Indeed. We should observe him closely later on.” Sima You Yue said.

“Mmhmm.”

Once all the results were released, Ji Qing Yuan announced the names of those who advanced past the first round.

His words were as direct as ever.

“Those whose scores are ninety-five and above should report promptly at noontime tomorrow for the competition.”

When he had concluded, everyone began to leave.

Sima You Yue glanced at the platform. Shao Yun Xiao and Xian Chang Tian were walking in the front with Wu Lingyu and Shui Qing Man the the others trailing behind, listening obediently to what Shui Qing Man was saying.

“I’ve always been rather curious. Shao Yun Xiao is merely the pavilion master of a pavilion in the central regions. Why is he able to sit with Xia Chang Tian and the others as one of the guests of honor of the pill battle?” Han Miao Shuang rushed up to Sima You Yue’s shoulder to look at the platform together.

“It truly is a little strange.” Sima You Yue said, “If he came from the inner regions, that would be less unexpected and we could still reason it. However, Shao Yun Xiao is merely a pavilion master from the central regions whose status isn’t that high. How could he be a guest of honor?”

“Only the President and Subdivision Leader would know that.” Su Xiao Xiao said.

“You can go ahead and ask. However, we should first go back to the inn.” Sima You Yue caught up with Mao San Quan and left.

“Let’s go, we’ll go back and rest. We did so many questions today, I’m dead tired.”

“But Junior Brother is really powerful. He was even able to turn around the common-sense combination of Scarlet Star Grass and Flaming Cliff Grass.”

“Since he has already proved it to be false, you can’t call it common sense anymore.”

“That’s true.”

“…”

On the morning of the second day, the competitors arrived at the plaza bright and early, waiting for the competition to begin for the day.

When it was eight o’ clock, Xia Chang Tian came in with a group of men. The moment they arrived, Ji Qing Yuan got up on the stage and said, “The second round of the competition is going to begin. Contestants, come up the stage.”

Sima You Yue and Han Miao Shuang and the others walked to their respective places as Ji Qing Yuan waved his hands. A table appeared in front of each of them.

“Inside the drawer contains the question that we will be tackling this round. You have to refine the pill that is written on it within a given amount of time.” Ji Qing Yuan instructed, “Finally, we will score you based on the pill’s rank, quantity and time taken. You may begin now.”

The contestants opened the drawers and inside it lay a piece of paper along with a pile of medicinal ingredients. There were three portions of each type of herb.

“This table should be some sort of spatial tool.”

Sima You Yue took out her question, and it wrote that she was to refine a six or seventh ranked pill according to what was written on it.

The contestants in the second group were all below a hundred years old. Therefore, the ranks were not that high. She looked at those in the front row and could tell at a glance that the ingredients were for pills at seven or eight rank.

As she ran her eyes over it, she saw the person that she had noticed the other day.

He was in the last row of the first group. Sima You Yue was in the first row of the second group. The two from yesterday were diagonally across each other, and this person was now the one standing in front of her.

It was as if the person could feel Sima You Yue’s eyes appraising him as he turned around to look at her before turning away expressionlessly.
