Old Mr. Pei picked up the teapot and filled everyone's teacups before he said, "He has gone back to Apothecaries' Association to get ready for his promotion exam."
Lin Shuwen did not seem surprised. After all, he was present when Pei Rong mentioned wanting to try for advanced apothecary.
He smiled before he said flatteringly, "Judging from his abilities, I'm sure he will make it."
Old Mr. Pei shook his head. "Only one or two apothecaries are able to get promoted to advanced apothecary at the Apothecaries' Association each year, so it is really down to his luck."
"Well, it really isn't purely a matter of luck. He can't do it without talent," commented Fang Chen after he contemplated for two seconds.
Lin Shuwen felt slightly relieved when he heard Fang Chen unprecedentedly saying something nice. He had reminded Fang Chen to foster a good relationship with the Pei family before he came today, especially Pei Rong.
