Even though he was still young and inexperienced, and had yet to fully mature, Nangong Yue still recognized him at a glance.

Xiao Yi had a face that was both male and female. His sword-like eyebrows were flying everywhere and his pair of obsidian eyes were brimming with interest. Beneath his high, straight nose, his thin, rosy lips were slightly parted, and the curve of his face was as exquisite as the edge of a knife.

Nangong Yue was still in a daze. Xiao Yi had already moved his face closer to hers, and with a frown, he urged, ”Little girl, are you dumb? Are you going to go in or not?”

”Yi, what does it have to do with you whether the little sister goes in or not?” Beside Xiao Yi stood a youth who was two or three years older than him.

This youth was also handsome and had a dignified appearance. It seemed that he also had an extraordinary background.

Nangong Yue also recognized this person. He was the second son of the War Department's head teacher, Chen Guiying. He was also a good friend of Xiao Yi.

”It's my business that she's here blocking the way.” Xiao Yi said in a bad mood, which confused the surrounding people.

Little Doctor Li thought that they're here to get medicine, so he hastily said, ”Young master, if you wish to get the medicine, please come in.”

He politely made a gesture of invitation, but who would have thought that the other party would actually reply boldly, ”I'm not here to get the medicine.”

Nangong Yue didn't want to know why Xiao Yi was here, nor did she want to get into a fight with this guy with the word ”trouble” written on the top of his head.

She could only blame herself for not looking at the calendar. It was best to avoid this fiend.

Nangong Yue quickly made a decision in her heart. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Xiao Yi. ”You're not allowed to leave. Didn't you want to go in?”

”Who said I was going in?” Nangong Yue took another step forward with the intention to circle around him. At the same time, she gestured for An Niang to follow her. ”Aunt An, let's go.”

But Little Doctor Li stood in front of her, blocking her way. ”No way!” You can't go! If you can't tell us what's wrong with the prescription, and since you want to ruin the reputation of our medicine shop, then you have to apologize! ”

The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth curled up as she gave a smile that was not a smile. However, there was a hint of arrogance in her tone. ”Even if I did, would you understand?”

”You …” Little Doctor Li was so angry that his eyes turned red. ”You're clearly just messing around!”

Their dispute attracted more and more onlookers. It was quite a spectacular sight to behold. At this time, an old man walked out from the medicine store. He wore a thin grey robe, and his hair and beard were all white.

”Wen Cheng, what's going on?” The old man slowly stepped forward and indifferently swept his eyes over the crowd. His gaze was fixated on Little Doctor Li.

The old man obviously had a lot of power. The moment he appeared, young Doctor Li lost all of his vigor. He took a step back blushing and respectfully said, ”Grandfather, this young lady said that the prescription that this grandson wrote was inappropriate.”

The more he said, the more unsatisfied he became. He had inherited his grandfather's medical skills, how could he allow others to doubt him!

Compared to Doctor Li, the old man was much calmer. He looked at Nangong Yue with interest, only to see that she was looking at him with an expression that was neither servile nor overbearing. There were traces of age on her delicate face.

The interest in the elder's eyes deepened as he said, ”Wen Cheng, show me the prescription.”

Little Doctor Li immediately handed the prescription over to the old man. The old man only glanced at it for a moment before he already had an idea.
