Chapter 2146

"Finally, I understand. People shouldn't be given too much comfort. Once they get it, they puff up with pride. Do they think that because we went to the Bright Forest and saved those lives, they also earned great merit by going to the Linlang Training Ground?"

Bai Haochen smiled bitterly. "You’re right. It seems things are heading that way."

"If they already have these petty thoughts, sending them to the Qixia Secret Realm will only make it worse. We should just cancel their qualifications," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

Bai Haochen smiled bitterly again. "You’re right, but opening the Qixia Secret Realm costs a lot of spirit stones. No matter how many people enter, it costs nine hundred and ninety top-grade spirit stones. The academy wants more people to go, and the quota of two hundred and eighty is already controlled."

Zhu Yanyi snorted. "It’s not like only this time allows more people. In the past, it was possible too. But why was the number always kept around one hundred? Have you thought about it?

Things that are easy to get are not cherished. The previous leaders knew that character was more important than secret realm training. So they kept the numbers low. Even though the cost was still nine hundred and ninety spirit stones, they didn’t feel they were wrong. Now, with more spots, people have developed unworthy thoughts. I don’t think such people will gain good insights from the Qixia Secret Realm. I have no hope for that."

"Indeed," Jian Feiyan said directly.

"I say, let’s set up a ring. They think we shouldn’t have these spots? Let them challenge us. If they win, they get our spots. If they lose, they give up this training. Even if they are in the top two hundred and thirty, they are not allowed to go."

Jian Feiyan’s suggestion seemed rough, but in this world where strength is respected, it was very effective.

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and thought. "Feiyan, this is a good idea. I think it’s feasible."

"Yes. During this time, gather everyone. I’ll do intensive training. I guarantee others can’t beat us," Sikong Xuran said with a smile, though his eyes held some anger.

Students in the academy used to be so harmonious. When did these petty thoughts start?

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "No need to be too fierce. Everyone takes one bottle of medicine. One person, one dose. I guarantee they can only dream of winning."

Zhu Yanyi’s idea was truly sinister. The others looked at her, their eyes saying, You are indeed the most vicious woman.

Zhu Yanyi giggled and called out, "Come, come, eat fruit. It’s delicious."

Everyone laughed and didn’t refuse, each taking their favorite fruit.

"I think Junior Sister Yanyi’s idea is good. We have our own medicine. If they have the skill, let them develop medicine to counter us. Students of the Sage Academy are famous for medicine. Using medicine is very normal," Ouyang Tianyun said leisurely.

Yi Yunfei remembered the last five-school competition and laughed. "Right. On the fighting stage, there are only enemies and friends. Using medicine is a method for us healers. I think this method works. But when we set up the ring, do you think the Dean will agree?"

"The Dean asked me to visit her tomorrow. I’ll ask then," Zhu Yanyi thought. If necessary, she would speak first.

"Okay, then I leave this to Junior Sister Yanyi," Yi Yunfei decided.

After all, it was a matter for the Sage Academy. They needed to inform Xi Muzheng.

"Sigh. I hope this phenomenon is temporary, not long-lasting," Yuan Yanqiu sighed.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "People won’t dare after experiencing setbacks. I think the students of the Sage Academy are too proud now. They need a setback. It seems we need to cure this pride disease for them."

Zhu Yanyi considered herself a good doctor. She always managed inappropriate 'illnesses,' so this thought was normal.

Ouyang Tianyun and others nodded. They were also doctors. Since they found their fellow students had this terrible illness, they naturally wanted to show medical virtue and cure them well.

No one noticed that those close to Zhu Yanyi had their thoughts twisted by her. Indeed, 'near ink, one gets black.'

The next morning, Zhu Yanyi visited the herb field first. Under the whipping of flames, Wu Xiong and the other three had not rested all night. Looking ragged, they were seriously organizing the herb field.

But for cultivators, not sleeping for days was normal. So Zhu Yanyi felt no guilt for abusing them. Instead, she complained, "So slow. But you are all young masters from rich families. With this speed, I can’t get used to it, but I’ll have to accept it slowly."

After a night of pain, Wu Xiong and the others didn’t dare to say anything. No matter what, talking too much might lead to more flame abuse. It was better to pretend they heard nothing.

Zhu Yanyi didn’t mind their 'playing dead' attitude. At least they were working hard. As long as they didn’t deliberately play dead in other aspects, it was fine.

After inspecting the herb field, Zhu Yanyi went to the Dean’s practice chamber.

Xi Muzheng and Mu Rongyin were discussing things.

"Dean, must Zhu Yanyi do this?" Mu Rongyin seemed to hesitate, but finally didn’t say whether she agreed or not.

Xi Muzheng nodded. "Zhu Yanyi comes from the mortal world and understands some things there. The mortal world is connected, so only Zhu Yanyi can do this task. Besides, they are just asking for medical help. It’s not a big deal."

"But I heard their character is really bad," Mu Rongyin replied. "Saving one evil person harms a hundred good people. I think it’s better not to save him."

Mu Rongyin looked at Xi Muzheng. "And you know we are cultivators. Cultivators care about cause and effect. If Zhu Yanyi saves this person, who will help her resolve the karma?"
