CHAPTER 331: CHAPTER 331

Feng Tian felt a cool sensation on his forehead, and his mind instantly became incredibly clear. The pain from just being hit vanished without a trace the moment the medicine was applied.

His classmates were even more astonished, their eyes widening in disbelief, as they watched the lump on Feng Tian’s forehead shrink and disappear before their very eyes!

After a while, it seemed the bump was completely gone. Someone couldn’t help but wipe away the medicine, only to see that Feng Tian’s forehead was as smooth as a peeled hard-boiled egg—nowhere was there a wound!

"This... these few weeds can make such a miraculous medicine?!" someone exclaimed.

Everyone’s gaze at Changgui shifted several times, and for a moment, the classroom was eerily silent.

"What are you all gathered there for? Haven’t you heard the bell for class has already rung?" The old teacher had unbeknownst to them entered the classroom, frowning as he looked over at them.

Changgui and Huo Ting both naturally walked back to their seats, and the other classmates, stunned for a moment, finally woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly returned to their seats, Feng Tian included.

Zheng Tuo, who hadn’t moved from his seat, lowered the corners of his mouth in displeasure, flashes of anger and embarrassment in his eyes.

Although he hadn’t participated personally, seeing Chen Changgui effortlessly and unexpectedly resolve the situation stirred a discontent within him.

Moreover, he wondered to himself, if he were in Chen Changgui’s position, he wouldn’t have been able to create such a medicine.

This undoubtedly deepened his sense of defeat in the face of being outdone.

Changgui, however, didn’t mind the incident at all; his thoughts were on that unassuming lunchbox. That lunchbox was no ordinary one—it was packed full of braised pork, with not a grain of other food. Rice could be gotten at the cafeteria, but he was loath to give up even a single piece of his beloved meat...

For the first time, Changgui spaced out during class, though the old teacher didn’t say much. This child had always been diligent and studious, so the idea of him being overwhelmed by classes rather than attending them was unlikely. This one moment of distraction ironically reassured the old teacher that after all, he was still a kid, comforting him a great deal.

After all, the formula for the Qi Smoothing Pill had been submitted, and was reportedly very effective, promising to bring a whole new financial chain for the Huo Family. Even a slight test market run had seen it snatched up in no time, and everyone in the Huo Family could foresee the pill’s explosive future.

The old teacher occasionally thought about arranging more competitions to coax Changgui’s formulas, but eventually found that approach too unscrupulous and gave up.

Finally, lunchtime arrived, and for the first time, Changgui was so excited, he grabbed his lunchbox and dashed to the cafeteria, his speed leaving people dumbfounded.

The regular students only saw a blur fly past, and Huo Huan struggled along, shaking his chubby belly as he emerged from the classroom, gritting his teeth: "The cafeteria is serving braised pork today, but surely there’s no need to run so fast? Ugh, better hurry up, what if there’s not enough left?"

Everyone shared the same thought, but Huo Huan’s physique left him at a disadvantage, trailing in the crowd.

"Damn it, me, the fourth son of the Huo Family, struggling to get a meal at my own family’s academy!" Huo Huan complained verbally, yet didn’t dare slow his pace; this was the moment he exercised most in his daily routine.

Changgui rushed to the cafeteria, only to be outpaced by some regular students who had secured prime positions.

The air was filled with the aroma of braised pork—a pure coincidence.
