The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

Yanxiao answered with a smile.

The students discreetly laughed.
They thought he was foolish because he did not see the stern expression that the teacher had on his face.
He even had the gall to smile at the teacher.

Luo De glanced at the tidy table behind Shen Yanxiao and asked, “Shen Jue, why did you not produce the sobering potion like I asked?”

Shen Yanxiao stroked her nose and glanced at the untouched medicinal ingredients on the table.
“Because you did not provide me with the medicinal ingredients to produce the sobering potion?”

Luo De’s faint smile disappeared, and the twenty-plus students were shocked by her answer.

Shen Yanxiao pointed to the medicinal ingredients on the table.
“Teacher, even though the plant that you used earlier is similar to this one, there is a slight difference.
The plant that you used had a slender leaf, but it had sharp edges.
However, this plant on the table has a rounded edge.
Even though the difference is small, they are actually two different medicinal ingredients.”

After Shen Yanxiao pointed that out, the other students immediately turned to look at their leftover plants.
As expected, the edge on those plant was round-shaped.
They then stretched their heads to look at Luo De’s leftover plant, and they noticed that the edges were sharp.
The leaves of that plant were only the width of a pinkie while the shape of its edge was minimal.
If one were not attentive to the details, the subtle differences would have gone unnoticed.

The other students’ expressions immediately darkened when they realized that the little lad was right.

They were all candidates who had come to participate in the Herbalist Division test, so they must have done loads of preparation beforehand.
Even though they could not complete the production of a potion by themselves, they would have had, at least, some knowledge about the basic ingredients.
