The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1649

In reality, what Frank was doing was clown behavior to Kairo and the other Draconian traditional medicine apprentices..

After all, he did not even know the basic idea of when a soup's effects were best and was instead trying to show off.

It was embarrassing, and Kairo was quietly shaking his head—he had certainly misjudged Frank by thinking earlier that he was skilled.

Mole Cricks—the black-robed elder—did not hold out much hope for Frank either.

Anyone skilled enough would know not to wait until the soup was cold, let alone wait until last because it would affect identification.

In fact, those who came to try the soup just before Frank were just here to take part for the sake of doing so, and they could barely identify a couple of the herbs used.

That was why Mole was not even interested in what Frank could do and actually only wanted it to be over with.

Still, the crowd was soon left staring in surprise as Frank did not taste the soup.

Instead, he merely leaned into the cauldron and smelled the scents within before frowning.

"Wait, what?"

Ira watched as he did so and started snickering loudly, "You can't even be bothered to pretend? Go on, write something—you were being so dramatic before, so why stop here?"

Frank, however, merely stood in silence, until even Mole had enough and hurried him.

"Huh…"

No one except martial elites were capable of such refinement—forget the answers, as selling it as a calligraphy piece would still fetch a king's ransom!

Still, Mole soon composed himself and started to actually read Frank's review.

Nonetheless, everyone had seen his reaction. They could see that only Frank got such a reaction out of Mole, as Mole had at most glanced in surprise at Kairo's answer, which got full points.

Such loss of composure left Kairo actually feeling doubtful too.

Was it possible that the kid might pull something here? He had only sniffed the broth without tasting it, but he could still discern the right herbs and the effects of the combination?

Nearby, Ira could no longer laugh.
