The next day, almost everyone knew that Mr. Miller was not stupid anymore, and rumors began to spread throughout the city.

As a result, a phenomenon occurred: a group of people were struck dead by lightning, because they also wanted to become smarter. However, not many could survive.

Over time, no one tried to imitate it anymore, because the mortality rate was just too high!! With so many deaths, people naturally became afraid. Of course, there were still a few who weren’t afraid of dying and continued to risk their lives!!

At the same time, after the second day, no one saw the pharmacists who had treated Mr. Miller. For the Mo family, this didn’t seem to be a big deal, and not many people remembered them. Without them, new people would take their place anyway, since it wasn’t a critical position.

Meanwhile, Mr. Miller began his formal cultivation. He had to work hard to catch up with the others. Now, he was much smarter than before, so his cultivation progress was naturally different from before—at least he could keep up with ordinary people.

As time passed bit by bit, everyone seemed to only remember Mr. Miller’s current state and forgot what he used to be like. At the same time, they also forgot about the key figure, Evan.

On this day, Evan was once again requisitioned to work in the pill room!

There wasn’t much to do in the Mo family’s pill room, and ever since those pharmacists left, it had become even quieter. Perhaps because of Mr. Miller’s incident, the second master felt that pharmacists were useless, not even as good as a servant, so the Mo family didn’t hire any new pharmacists.

To keep the pill room running, Evan was often requisitioned and became a regular here. In his spare time, he would read the medical books inside and study them—perhaps to do his job better, or maybe just because he wanted to learn.

“Evan!!”

“Here, what’s up?”

While reading a book and tending the fire, Evan heard someone calling him and immediately responded. As a servant, you had to react quickly.

“Hurry up and come with me, Miss Miller is gathering people for something.”

“Miss Miller is gathering people?”

Evan added some materials and a bit more fire to the pill furnace, then followed the person out. By his estimation, this batch of pills shouldn’t be a problem; after finishing Miss Miller’s task, he could come back to open the furnace.

At worst, the quality would be a bit lower. After all, these were just ordinary materials for ordinary pills—nothing special.

As for why Miss Miller was gathering people, Evan didn’t think much about it. It wasn’t that he couldn’t guess, but rather that there was no need to think—everyone knew the answer.

“Is everyone here?”

A mesmerizing voice came from the mouth of a girl so beautiful she made people marvel at the wonders of creation.

This was at the Golden Jade Hall in Qingyun City—the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the city, a favorite spot for the city’s elite, and also one of the places with the most disputes.

At this moment, a conflict was unfolding—a not-so-ordinary, yet also quite common, dispute!

Both sides of this conflict were direct members of the top families in Qingyun City: one was the Mo family’s Miss Miller, the other was the Nangong family’s Mr. Cooper. Both were outstanding among the younger generation, and both belonged to families with a discordant relationship. Whenever they met, it was like a collision of titans—especially since one of them was the Mo family’s Miss Miller.

This time, they met again!!

“Reporting to Miss Miller, almost everyone is here. Don’t worry, we already have more people than the other side—at least in terms of numbers, we have the advantage,” said a little maid following Miss Miller.

No kidding, you even brought in lower-ranked servants to make up the numbers—how could you have fewer people than the other side!!

Seeing this, the Nangong family’s Mr. Cooper could only look at the Mo family’s Miss Miller with arrogance, his eyes seeming to say, you may have more people, but in terms of strength, you’re far behind me.

A numerical advantage can’t make up for a lack of quality!!

Look at this one, look at that one—they’re all just making up the numbers!!!

“Fine, even in terms of numbers, we can’t lose. Of course, even without so many people, I alone could take out that group of idiots on the other side. But then people might say we have no one and that I’m bullying them as a weak girl.” The Mo family’s Miss Miller nodded, glancing disdainfully at Nangong Mr. Cooper.

This seemed to be a response to Nangong Mr. Cooper’s earlier look!!

“Little Mo Fish, don’t get cocky! Don’t forget, you’re my defeated opponent!!” Nangong Mr. Cooper said arrogantly. And he had reason to be—he had indeed defeated the Mo family’s Miss Miller before.

The Nangong family was a martial arts clan, different from the Mo family, which specialized in forging. Their martial arts foundation was very strong, something the Mo family couldn’t compare to.

One reason the Mo family’s Miss Miller called so many people was that the Mo family was much weaker in martial skills and needed numbers to make up for it.

“Damn it, you’re asking for it! I’m called Grace Miller, if you can’t read, go back to kindergarten and learn properly!!” The Mo family’s Miss Miller was furious. Grace Miller was her given name, but it sounded too much like “Little Mo Fish.” When her father named her, he probably didn’t consider this, and once it was written in the family register, it couldn’t be changed.

“Does it make a difference?” Nangong Mr. Cooper said contemptuously.
