Elder Qi frowned. He still had some impression of Yun Chujiu. ‘Wasn’t this the tan girl who was called in for questioning a few days ago?’
“You. Answer the difference between the Purple Wisdom Grass and the Purple Hawk Grass!” Elder Qi pointed at Yun Chujiu.
Yun Chujiu did not move at all. She sat there, watching attentively.
Feng Ming poked Yun Chujiu, and Yun Chujiu was shocked. Just as she was about to ask Feng Ming what was wrong, Elder Qi got angry.
“Stand up! Are you here to listen to my lecture or to sleep?”
Yun Chujiu stood up and answered obediently, “I’m here to listen to your lecture.”
Elder Qi became even angrier when he heard that!
“Since you’re here to listen to my lecture, why is your head down?”
Yun Chujiu was at a loss. “Can’t you keep your head down while listening to the lecture? Does one have to stare at you while listening to the lecture?”
This was the first time Elder Qi had met a student who dared to talk back to him. He was already holding his anger in his heart, but this time, he exploded.
“You! You… Good! Then tell me what’s the difference between Purple Wisdom Grass and Purple Hawk Grass?”
The people below began to discuss quietly.
“It’s over! Yun Chujiu has completely offended elder Qi!”
“That’s right, she actually dared to go against Elder Qi. How audacious!”
“I told you that Yun Chujiu would do this to herself! Why did she sit in the front row for no reason?! She’s asking for it!”
“Damn it! Let her be smug! Does she think that Senior Brother Feng Ming likes her? Senior Brother Feng Ming must be trying to put her in her place.”
…
Yun Chusi and the others were extremely worried. They stretched their necks and looked forward—Yun Chujiu definitely could not answer. They hoped that Elder Qi would not punish Yun Chujiu too harshly.
Elder Qi saw that Yun Chujiu did not speak and said coldly, “Hmph! You can’t answer me, right? Young people make mistakes but don’t like to admit it. If you’re doing this…”
“Although there’s only one word difference between the Purple Wisdom Grass and the Purple Hawk Grass, the Purple Wisdom Grass is in the middle-grade of the Black category, while the Purple Hawk Grass is of a low-grade from the Yellow category. The difference between the two is very small. The Purple Wisdom Grass has a thin red thread on the leaf veins, but the Purple Hawk Grass does not! Elder Qi, am I right?” Yun Chujiu tilted her head and looked at Elder Qi mischievously.
Elder Qi choked back his words and his face turned red. “Hmph! You must’ve previously known the difference between the two! I’ll test you again!”
Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes. “As long as it’s the content that you’ve talked about today! I didn’t have the chance to learn the knowledge of herbs before!”
“Hmph! Of course, I’m asking about the content I taught you today! Tell me about the growth habits of the Seven-leaf Reed!” Elder Qi thought that the Seven-leaf Reed was an uncommon spiritual herb, so he did not believe that this little girl had heard of it before.
“The Seven-leaf Reed mostly grows on the shores of hot springs that are rich in spiritual energy. The stalks stand upright and are more than five feet tall. The roots, stems, and leaves have ventilation tissue, which has the effect of stopping bleeding and detoxifying poison! Elder Qi, am I correct?” Yun Chujiu said with a smile.
Elder Qi clenched his teeth in anger. “Sit down! Some disciples shouldn’t be complacent just because they know something. If their attitude in class isn’t right, they should not attend my classes in the future!”
Yun Chujiu acted as if she did not hear him. After sitting down, she still lowered her head and looked at a green stone slab as if there were flowers on it!
Elder Qi was so angry that his beard curled up. However, he did not have any other good ideas. He could only ask Yun Chujiu to get up and answer questions every once in a while. However, Yun Chujiu could answer them quickly and accurately each time.
Four hours later, Elder Qi glared at Yun Chujiu and left in a huff.
“Junior Sister Little Jiu, you’re simply too awesome! How did you do it?” Feng Ming asked curiously.
