Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

Huang Yaoshi of the Inner Court is not only highly skilled, but his extreme and eccentric personality is also deeply feared.

Many of the hempen robes present, even those in the outer courtyard, had long heard of Huang Yaoshi's great name. When they saw Huang Yaoshi appear, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Huang Yaoshi is unpredictable; who knows if they accidentally take an extra breath and he'll tear their mouths off?

"Master Huang!"

Upon seeing Huang Yaoshi, Wang Long bowed smugly. He then glanced at the girl in red, a mocking look in his eyes.

At this moment, everyone understood that Wang Long's reliance was Huang Yaoshi, no wonder he didn't even put Hong Yaoshi in his eyes.

The girl in red turned pale and then flushed, frozen in place with the whip in her hand, caught in a dilemma.

Shen You stood to the side, silently raising her head to give Huang Yaoshi a deep look.

This is the man who almost beat the old lady to death.

Shen You etched Huang Yaoshi's image firmly into her mind.

Sooner or later, he will personally seek revenge on Huang Yaoshi for the suffering his wife endured!

Suddenly, Huang Yaoshi seemed to sense something and turned to look at Shen You.

Shen You was startled and was about to lower her head.

But then I thought, if you're afraid of him, he won't lay a hand on you?

The feud had already begun.

Shen You made a firm decision and glared at them with icy eyes.

"Should I avoid your sharp edge?"

The next moment, a cold glint flashed in Huang Yaoshi's eyes, and Shen You seemed to see two scarlet demonic eyes staring indifferently at him from the void. In an instant, Shen You felt as if his eyes were being pricked by needles, tears streaming down his face, and he could faintly hear a sound like the cry of a monkey.

"Elder Huang, with your status, why bother arguing with someone in hemp clothing?"

The gentle voice of the old man came from beside her ear, easing Shen You's pain.

Shen You opened her eyes in a daze and found that she had unknowingly curled up on the ground like an infant, hugging her knees, and her face was already covered with tears.

Shen You stood up blankly and found everyone staring at her in astonishment.

Only Huang Yaoshi on the other side maintained a cold expression, calmly saying, "A small punishment to serve as a warning!"

Opposite him, Pharmacist Hong sighed, turned to Shen You and said, "Boy, don't look at what you shouldn't."

"yes!"

Shen You nodded hurriedly, lowered her head, and her heart was in turmoil.

What kind of methods were those?

Just one glance was enough to make me lose my mind.

That no longer resembled a martial artist, but rather a legendary immortal or demon!

Shen You already knew that because of the existence of demons in this world, the power of martial artists was far more extraordinary than in the high-martial-world stories he had read about in his previous life.

But no one expected that a mere pharmacist from a second-rate power in Rongcheng would possess such bizarre and terrifying abilities.

Just how dangerous will this world become?

Shen You felt a heavy weight in her heart, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"I need to get stronger! I absolutely have to get stronger!"

He clenched his fist tightly.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded.

Several guards with goose-feather sabers hanging at their waists rushed over, and when they saw the group of people, they looked on in astonishment.

Guard Xue was among them.

He stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Pharmacist Hong and Pharmacist Huang, saying, "I didn't expect that Elder Hong and Elder Huang had arrived before us. Please forgive us for being late!"

"Hmph!" Huang Yaoshi snorted coldly, without replying.

Pharmacist Hong smiled gently and said to Guard Xue, "I will have to trouble you all to take charge of the overall situation."

"Yes!" Guard Xue nodded and turned to face the group of men in hemp clothing.

His face darkened, and he said sternly, "What are you all standing there for? Line up now! Today's examination in hemp clothing begins immediately!"

After being scolded by Guard Xue, and with the other guards also being instructors of the Hemp Robe disciples and watching them intently, the Hemp Robe disciples immediately sprang into action, lining up in the training ground as usual, and soon forming neat square formations.

A high platform had been set up on the side of the training ground, with tables, chairs and tea on it. Guard Xue then invited Pharmacist Hong and Pharmacist Huang to sit on the platform.

Two pharmacists, each leading two apprentices, went up to the stage. The girl in red, passing by Shen You, glared at him fiercely.

"You're the one who caused trouble for my grandfather! You'd better remember this!"

She waved her fist defiantly, but Shen You glanced at her and didn't take it to heart.

Hong Xiugu

【Fate Value: 11 (Strangers)】

The girl was clearly the granddaughter of Pharmacist Hong, who had done Shen You a great favor.

A debt of gratitude must be repaid.

With this in mind, Shen You's tolerance for the girl also increased significantly.

Shen You is like that; he remembers everyone who is kind to him and helps him. No matter how much these people beat or scold him, he doesn't care at all.

But if anyone else dared to provoke him like that, he would have already stabbed them with his middle finger.

On the other side, Wang Long glanced coldly at Shen You, but did not rush to cause trouble. He followed Huang Yaoshi to the stage and stood behind Huang Yaoshi.

Shen You could tell from the way he looked at her that he wouldn't give up so easily.

This time, Mai's exam will obviously not be easy for him to pass.

Another young man with fair skin approached. He looked noble and wore a linen robe made of silk, but it was made to resemble a linen robe.

He had come with Huang Yaoshi, and as he passed by Shen You, he asked with an unfriendly expression:

"What did Xiu Gu just say to you?!"

Shen You looked at the fair-faced boy in astonishment, and after thinking for a moment, said:

She told me to remember her.

"Kid!"

The fair-skinned young man's expression changed, and he pressed his hand hard against Shen You's chest:

"Stay away from Xiu Gu from now on! Or I'll make you regret it!"

He snorted coldly, then said arrogantly:

"And remember my name! I am the young master of the Zhu family, my name is Zhu Xiaobao!"

"Xiao Bao?" Shen You raised an eyebrow.

The fair-skinned boy immediately gritted his teeth, somewhat angrily saying, "I know this name isn't grand enough, but my old man didn't have much education, and he just likes this name. What can I do! You dare laugh at me? You're dead!"

"No, I didn't laugh..." Shen You said with a strange expression, "I've received professional training..."

The fair-faced boy glared at Shen You, then walked away.

In addition to the ordinary hemp-clad practitioners shown below, each of the two pharmacists brought two hemp-clad apprentices for this hemp-clad examination.

The four men in hemp clothing were all martial artists, and their presence caused a stir among the other hemp clothing members below.

Shen You's gaze also fell on the stage, where she saw Hong Xiugu and an honest-looking young man standing behind Pharmacist Hong. Although Hong Xiugu was dressed in red and looked very beautiful, the hemp clothing peeking out from her cuffs and hem revealed that she was still a hemp clothing apprentice.

As for the other honest-looking boy, dressed simply in hemp clothing, he lagged behind Hong Xiugu by a step. He appeared kind and simple, like a child from the countryside. Shen You learned from the conversations of those around him that his name was Han Shu.

Behind Huang Yaoshi stood two other young men. One of them, a fair-skinned boy, was none other than Zhu Xiaobao, who had just come looking for trouble. The other boy, however, was shorter and looked timid, cowering there anxiously watching what lay below.

Through the discussions of those around him, Shen You learned that this second boy was a genius with exceptional talent, who had cultivated to the level of a martial artist in just one month, and his name was Tian Yi'er.

He didn't reach the martial arts realm by consuming any pills or the flesh and blood of demonic beasts; he simply relied on his talent to quickly advance, making him far more valuable than Shen You, who achieved his martial arts realm through sheer hard work and consuming meat.

Shen You looked at the four people and secretly cheered himself up, knowing that they were the main opponents he would face next.

There are limited spots available for entering the pharmacist's courtyard.

To get to the pharmacist's side, I might have to defeat one of them.
