“Barbara, you're really full of surprises. I can't believe an elite of Highwyn is right in front of me! I'm a Lucky man."

Barbara had never realized how enjoyable it could be to receive a man's praise before.

“Well, it looks Like you really like our culture," she said in a sweet voice, blushing.

Barbara was worried that she was letting her guard down too much, but when she saw Octavian smiling from ear to ear like a child, she realized she was worried over nothing.

Were all foreign men as simple to impress as Octavian was? While she was thinking about this, Octavian asked, "Then Barbara, after you become an official member of the Pill Alchemist Association, can you show me around the place? I've always wanted to see it, but I heard that the Pill Alchemist Association is a sacred place in Highwyn that even people in the ancient martial world can't easily enter."

“Well... Barbara hesitated.

"You're right. The Pill Alchemist Association does have a high position in the ancient martial world, because it not only gathers all the top pill alchemists of the ancient martial world, but also holds the elixir formulas created throughout history by those pill alchemists. There are over ten thousand elixir formulas stored in the library of the Pill Alchemist Association."

After a short pause, Barbara continued, "The library is actually a super data system which is off-limit for outsiders."

Octavian shook his head with a frown.

“Phew, it sounds like a strict place. But I really want to visit this sacred place that everyone yearns for, There must be some part of the Pill Alchemists Association that is open to visitors, right?"

“Well... Yes, you're right,"

Barbara admitted hesitantly, turning red.

“But the Pill Alchemist Association is the most secure place among all the ancient martial arts associations. If it's for the Association of Healthcare Professionals, I would love to show you around. But the Pill Alchemist Association... It's..."

“It's what?" Octavian asked casually with a bright smile on his face.

“Ordinary tourists are not allowed to visit the Pill Alchemist Association," Barbara finally said, lowering her head.

“After I become a full member of the association, I will be allowed to bring guests... But only those who are part of my family."

Of course, Barbara knew what it meant when she explained the rules to Octavian.

As a noble lady, she wouldn't say how she felt about Octavian the very first time she met him, even though she had a good impression of him,

At this moment, a thought popped into Barbara's head. Would Octavian confess his love to her right now? And if he did, how should she respond? Should she reject him?

If she accepted him at their very first meeting, she might seem too easy. But if she refused, she might end up losing a good match.

While Barbara was struggling to make a choice in her head, she heard Octavian's gentle and elegant voice again, “Barbara, do you believe in love at first sight?"

In the house of the Jenkins family.

It was half past nine at night, and it was time for Mrs, Jenkins to go to bed.

Lying on the bed, Mrs. Jenkins asked casually, “Hasn't Barbara come back yet?"
