Liu Guanghui replied on Han Bingyue’s behalf. He looked smug and said, “Of course! Little Junior Sister found the nutmeg first. In the end, although she was kidnapped by bad people, she handed it to Head Feng immediately!”
The other students either hadn’t found the herbs yet, or they had been frightened by the terrifying atmosphere of being attacked by assassins and threw their herbs away halfway through. They were sadly eliminated.
“I’m asking about Han Bingyue. You’re not Han Bingyue’s dog. Why are you in a hurry to bark?” Gu Qiqi glanced at Liu Guanghui lightly and laughed sarcastically.
Liu Guanghui retorted. “You!”
Could this bookworm’s mouth be any more vicious?!
Gu Qiqi took a step forward and waved the nutmeg in front of Han Bingyue’s eyes. “Look carefully. Are you sure that these are the examination herbs that you want to hand to the pharmaceutical school?”
Han Bingyue squinted her swollen eyes and looked around to confirm that this was indeed nutmeg.
Which kitchen didn’t have some nutmeg?
It was because nutmeg was everywhere in the Empire that she could find it so quickly and smoothly.
Han Bingyue nodded.
“It turns out that Han Bingyue’s exam question was so simple! I thought that the top student’s question would be very difficult.”
“Who doesn’t know about nutmeg?”
“What’s the use of being able to find nutmeg? Is it worth mentioning?”
Some people from the pharmaceutical school had already begun to whisper.
Liu Guanghui roared fiercely, “It’s also a kind of ability to draw such a simple question! Hmph, you trash!”
They had to admit that Liu Guanghui’s words made sense.
Since Han Bingyue’s question was simple and she had found the herbs and answered the question correctly, why was her result invalid?
Everyone looked at Gu Qiqi in confusion.
Gu Qiqi’s lips curved into a cold smile. “This herb looks like nutmeg but it’s called black cardamom. However, Han Bingyue, your exam question was not to look for black cardamom but nutmeg! Don’t tell me that you don’t even know what black cardamom is?”
Gu Qiqi’s question stunned the students in the classroom for a moment.
It wasn’t just the freshmen from the pharmaceutical school. Even the so-called top students from the clinical medicine school were scratching their heads.
Nutmeg?
Black cardamom?
Weren’t they the same?
Could there be a difference?
Wasn’t the herb that Gu Qiqi was holding in front of her nutmeg? It could be ground into powder, made into condiments, and could be used in medicine. Was this a common spice that every family in the Empire had in the kitchen?
“What… What is nutmeg then?” Even Liu Guanghui was a little stumped.
“Everyone, lend him a book called “Herbology: A Hundred Herbs” to nourish him so this trash won’t be so self-righteous all day long.” Gu Qiqi said impolitely.
That d*mned bookworm actually said that he was trash!
Liu Guanghui still wanted to retort.
Beside him, a classmate from the clinical medicine school received the pharmaceutical school textbook and poked Liu Guanghui weakly. “Senior Brother, look. On page 370, it says that nutmeg and black cardamom aren’t the same thing… The difference is very big…”
Liu Guanghui couldn’t wait to tear that textbook into pieces!
D*mn it!
Why would Han Bingyue make such a mistake?
Wasn’t this asking him to slap his own face?
He stiffened his neck and rolled his eyes. He didn’t admit what he had said just now and opened his eyes to quibble. “Who said that Han Bingyue found black cardamom? We saw wrongly just now! What Han Bingyue found was nutmeg! What you’re holding is black cardamom!”
Gu Qiqi laughed sarcastically. “Please prepare a better draft when you lie next time. Don’t you know that the exam results will be saved? Do you want to go to the pharmaceutical school’s archive room and check out what exactly Han Bingyue found? Liu Guanghui, don’t you feel ashamed for going back on your word?”
