Chapter 2209

The other four people were actually Che Wuzhe, Mo Changhen, Feng Miaoling, and Dan Sheng, who had all fought with Zhu Yanyi before.

"You had better give me a good reason." Although Zhu Yanyi had a decent impression of Dan Sheng, it didn't mean she had to take these four with her to the Great Yu Realm.

Xi Muzheng sighed helplessly. "It is precisely because they made mistakes in the past that this herb-gathering trip is a punishment for them. Besides, you know their mindset is relatively mild compared to others. I trust you. If you lead them out, they will quickly get back on the right path. This is also for the future of the Sage Academy, isn't it?"

Zhu Yanyi snorted and looked at Xi Muzheng. "Don't try to flatter me with high hats. If I have to take people, what's the benefit? Don't mention points; I don't lack Academy points. Don't mention spirit stones; you know who my husband is. I don't need to scheme for spirit stones. As Mi Xiao would say, I have so much money I can afford to play dumb. And don't mention the Library; I've already finished reading everything in the Sage Academy's library. Also, don't mention your private weapon vault. Honestly, there are very few things there that catch my eye."

Hearing Zhu Yanyi say this, Xi Muzheng was left speechless. "In four years, a passage to the Medical Realm will appear in the Sage Realm. This passage opens once every hundred years. The Medical Realm is open to outsiders for only one month each time, and only ten people can pass through.

Although it is dangerous in the Medical Realm, it is full of healers. Even a child on the street is a healer. So any healer wants to visit the Medical Realm at least once. If you take them, how about I reserve a spot for you in four years?"

Xi Muzheng had to admit he was willing to spend big.

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and looked at Xi Muzheng for a long while. Then she said to the four behind her, "Alright, let's go."

She released her flying boat and boarded it first. Then came Yuan Yanqiu, Jian Feiyan, Dan Sheng, Feng Miaoling, Mo Changhen, and Che Wuzhe.

After watching Zhu Yanyi and the others leave, Xi Muzheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. "This young lady is becoming harder to please."

"Actually, even if you didn't offer, she could have secured a spot on her own merit in four years," Mu Rongyin appeared and smiled at Xi Muzheng.

Xi Muzheng glanced at Mu Rongyin. "Enough talk. Our immediate priority is to prepare for opening the Qixia Secret Realm next year." As for Zhu Yanyi, Xi Muzheng knew that since she had taken the people, she would take good care of them.

On top of the flying boat, Zhu Yanyi took out a lounge chair, lay down, and looked at the sky. Her relaxed demeanor made Dan Sheng curious.

"Junior Sister Yanyi, why aren't you nervous about going on a mission?" Dan Sheng asked curiously.

"You are a demon cultivator. Demon cultivators should be more curious about missions. Why are you nervous?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Dan Sheng with curiosity.

Dan Sheng nodded shyly. "I am a little nervous."

"Haven't you experienced the Linlang Trial Grounds? Why are you still nervous?" Zhu Yanyi asked, puzzled.

"That's different. That was fighting evil demons," Dan Sheng said seriously.

"Evil demons are much stronger than mortals. If you aren't afraid of evil demons, why would you fear mortals in the secular realm?" Zhu Yanyi asked again.

"I'm not afraid of mortals in the secular realm. I'm afraid of you," Dan Sheng said, looking at Zhu Yanyi.

"Afraid of me?" Zhu Yanyi was stunned. Yuan Yanqiu, who was eating fruit nearby, was also stunned. Yuan Yanqiu looked at Zhu Yanyi, then at Dan Sheng. "Senior Brother Dan Sheng, why are you afraid of Junior Sister Yanyi? Even if Junior Sister Yanyi isn't a peerless beauty, she is still a delicate and pretty girl. How could she make you afraid?"

Dan Sheng said shyly, "I am just afraid. I don't know why. It's our demon cultivators' instinct to fear the strong. So I feel that Junior Sister Yanyi must have the highest cultivation among all of us here."

Zhu Yanyi was slightly stunned. She had almost forgotten that demon cultivators had their own sensitivity and sharpness. Just like now, Dan Sheng might not understand Zhu Yanyi, but she could keenly sense that she was extraordinary.

Hearing Dan Sheng's words, Zhu Yanyi chuckled softly. "So that's it. Does this count as an animal's sixth sense?"

"I am not an animal. I am a demon cultivator," Dan Sheng said seriously again.

"So-called animals are living creatures that move. This includes humans, demons, and spirits. Tell me, do you count as an animal?" Zhu Yanyi asked with a smile.

Hearing Zhu Yanyi say this, Dan Sheng lowered her head, thought for a moment, and nodded firmly. "I admit it. I am an animal."

Feng Miaoling nearby burst out laughing. "Senior Brother Dan Sheng, you are so cute. Aren't you afraid that Junior Sister Yanyi is deceiving you?"

Hearing Feng Miaoling say this, Dan Sheng moved even further away from her. "Whether Junior Sister Yanyi deceives me or not, I don't know. But you… I'd better stay away from you." He added solemnly, "It's our animal instinct. It tells me you shouldn't get close."

Dan Sheng spoke very seriously. He didn't care at all that Feng Miaoling's expression turned ugly.

Mo Changhen and Che Wuzhe, seeing the lively scene, were also somewhat curious. Mo Changhen sat aside and said, "Junior Sister Yanyi, I just want to ask. When I was playing the zither earlier, you suddenly tapped the cup. Was that conscious or unconscious?"

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Mo Changhen, then looked at the sky and said slowly, "It's hard to say if it was conscious or unconscious. Anyway, your sound attack is definitely useless against me. Even if I hadn't tapped the cup, your sound attack couldn't have harmed me. I just didn't want anyone else to be dragged down by your sound attack." In other words, she had already admitted it was a conscious action.

Zhu Yanyi looked up and slowly lay back on her lounge chair. "Actually, music is a very good leisure activity. I also listen to music when I have time. But I don't like people using music to attack me. So I had to interfere (disrupt) it, right?"

This sounded very noble, but no one present was a fool. Even the straightforward demon cultivator Dan Sheng wasn't a fool. Hearing Zhu Yanyi's words, they all knew that she liked music but didn't like being schemed against.

"Junior Sister Yanyi, may I ask, how high is your cultivation?" Che Wuzhe was always curious about this.

Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "I can't tell you for now. Since you will follow me on missions in the future, you will find out one day. But that is in the future. What I can tell you now is that I will absolutely not hold you back."
