Chapter 2147

Xi Muzheng sighed. "I know. But that person holds the last medical jade pendant of our Sage Academy. Once the pendant is presented, we cannot refuse."

"But I do not recommend sending Zhu Yanyi," Mu Rongyin said seriously, looking at Xi Muzheng.

Xi Muzheng lowered her head, a bitter smile on her face. "I do not want to either. Zhu Yanyi’s abilities are there. She is arguably the person with the best talent in thousands of years. But I cannot think of anyone else. If anyone can survive this tribulation perfectly, it is only Zhu Yanyi. When this matter came to me, I contacted Grand Shaman Bai to help calculate. She said only Zhu Yanyi could complete this task successfully. So I had no choice but to send her. I originally thought, if there was no one else, I would go myself and bear the karmic merit consequences."

Mu Rongyin naturally knew Grand Shaman Bai’s capabilities. Since Bai had spoken, it was clear that besides Zhu Yanyi, there truly was no one else.

Mu Rongyin still had vague worries in his heart, but even with those worries, he said nothing more at this moment.

Zhu Yanyi walked in and happened to see the strange expressions on Xi Muzheng and Mu Rongyin’s faces. She raised her eyebrows slightly. "Did I come in at an inappropriate time? It’s okay. You can continue. Call me when you are done."

Zhu Yanyi wore an expression of deep understanding.

"What are you thinking?" Xi Muzheng looked at Zhu Yanyi speechlessly.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "When I came in, I saw you and Elder Mu looking like you wanted to speak but were shy. It felt like you were hesitating. I thought I wasn’t disturbing anything important. Don’t worry. If you really have something going on, I won’t tell anyone."

Zhu Yanyi maintained her look of understanding. "As long as the feelings are sincere, it’s fine. Just don’t be scum. Don’t worry about gender issues."

"Nonsense," Xi Muzheng scolded with a laugh. "Elder Mu and I were discussing your matters."

"My matters?" Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly and walked directly to the seat opposite Xi Muzheng. "What matters do I have? I just returned yesterday. It shouldn’t be me who has issues. Unless Elder Wu wants you to plead for her? That’s unlikely. You asked me to come over earlier than Elder Wu knew her own clan descendants offended me."

"What messy things? What about Elder Wu’s descendants offending you?" Xi Muzheng looked at Zhu Yanyi curiously. "I really don’t know about this. Tell me."

"Actually, it’s nothing major." Zhu Yanyi saw that Xi Muzheng really didn’t know, so she explained briefly. "Among the exchange students from Shangmo Academy who came with us, there was a descendant of Elder Wu’s clan. This descendant used Elder Wu’s name to show off among our students. She also stole herbs from our planted medicinal fields. Of course, if she used them herself and picked a small amount, we wouldn’t say much. But she targeted the best herbs and didn’t care for the fields. Many fields were destroyed just because she and her companions passed through. So yesterday, I punished them severely. They are still in my medicinal field, tidying it up to atone for their sins. What, you didn’t know about this?"

"I didn’t know," Xi Muzheng realized. "Since you handled it, you handle it. I vaguely heard about Elder Wu’s descendant, but I’ve been busy lately, so I didn’t have time to manage his affairs."

Xi Muzheng looked at Zhu Yanyi and said, "Zhu Yanyi, there is a task for you this time."

"What is the difficulty level?" Zhu Yanyi asked with a grin.

"Difficulty level? What is that?" Xi Muzheng was confused again by Zhu Yanyi’s words.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "In our mortal realm, many games have been developed. Games have various tasks. Task levels are divided into normal, difficult, and hell levels. So when you mentioned a task, I instinctively asked about the level."

Xi Muzheng looked at Zhu Yanyi speechlessly, then said, "This task is very difficult for anyone in our Sage Academy. Even if it’s not hell level, it won’t be simple. A mistake will bring karmic merit consequences. That’s why I specifically contacted Grand Shaman Bai. After calculating, she told me only you can solve this task. That’s why I’m asking you."

"What task?" Zhu Yanyi felt a bit curious after hearing Xi Muzheng’s words.

Xi Muzheng didn’t beat around the bush. "You know our realm is unique, connected to many mortal realms. Your home is one of those mortal realms. Now I’m talking about another mortal realm. That realm still operates under an imperial system, called the Dayu Empire. There is a family there. You could say no one in that family is good. Relying on the fact that their ancestor once fed the emperor a few mouthfuls of milk, they bully men and women, committing every kind of evil deed. However, their ancestor was decent back then. I don’t remember exactly when, but it seems he accidentally met someone from our Sage Academy and saved him when he was in trouble. Considering this karmic merit connection, the person who was saved gave a medical jade pendant, stating that if they ever got sick, no matter the illness, they could be healed once, and then the pendant would be returned. Now that evil person is very sick and sent the medical jade pendant. Our academy’s rule is that anyone holding the medical jade pendant must be treated. But we are cultivators. Saving an evil person is like killing countless good people. So I originally wanted to bear this karmic merit consequence myself, but Grand Shaman Bai suggested you. That’s why I’m asking you."

"You want me to go treat someone?" Zhu Yanyi’s eyes turned, and she had an idea. Actually, this kind of thing was very easy to solve, but she didn’t plan to explain clearly.

"Yes," Xi Muzheng nodded.

"But I might incur karmic merit consequences. If I get karmic merit consequences, Dean, you will have a heart demon. That’s not a good thing." Zhu Yanyi’s face showed a bit of cunning. She looked at Xi Muzheng with an expression that said, What compensation do you plan to give me?

Her expression was too obvious. Xi Muzheng couldn’t ignore it, so he said, "What compensation do you want?"

"Besides the original fifty spots for people to enter the Qixia Secret Realm, cancel all other secret realm spots," Zhu Yanyi said with a grin.

"(⊙o⊙)…" Xi Muzheng was stunned. "Who offended you?" In her heart, she pitied whoever offended Zhu Yanyi. How could they be so blind as to bully this female fiend?
