Everyone went into a daze.
Huo Yao had only appeared at the apothecaries' exam previously, so most of the people present in the room did not know her.
Even though they were unfamiliar with Huo Yao, someone recognized Zhuo Yun and knew he worked for Min Yu.
Zhuo Yun did not say a word the entire time, but he was particularly reverent toward Huo Yao ever since she entered the room.
The person acquainted with Zhuo Yun instantly caught onto this minor detail. When Huo Yao asked them what they felt about He Shu, he promptly stood up without hesitation and said, "I think he's a suitable candidate."
The moment he finished his sentence, everyone looked at him in bewilderment. Someone standing beside him reacted in shock. "Why did you say yes?"
The man sat down and answered. "I think she's friends with the Min family."
