The medicinal effect of the Blue Enchantress was real, but its power was diminished. It would last only three years. After that, the fragrance would naturally fade. The bees and butterflies only reacted to the Blue Enchantress within a ten-kilometer radius. Beyond that distance, they showed no reaction. Therefore, if the enemy could hide, she might not find them. Even if she could search, without absolute power, it was not something she could do casually.
Although three years was not a long time, it was a very good thing for the current situation. At least, it had truly scared the intruders away.
"Miss, how did you know someone was observing nearby?" Wang Ye asked curiously.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Wang Ye but did not answer directly. "I told you to cultivate internal energy. How is your progress?"
"To be honest, Miss, we have only reached the peak of external force. We still need an opportunity to enter internal force," Luo Gang answered. They had originally practiced external martial arts. After coming to the Zhu family, Zhu Yanyi had taught them internal techniques. Although they practiced diligently, their age hindered rapid progress. However, they had made some progress, which was like adding wings to a tiger. Now, their external force was complete. They were just one step away from internal force, but that opportunity was hard to find.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "I have already reached the late stage of internal force."
Luo Gang and Wang Ye were slightly stunned. They looked at Zhu Yanyi with disbelief. They knew Zhu Yanyi practiced martial arts, but they never expected her to quietly reach the late stage of internal force.
Zhu Yanyi continued, "So I can hear sounds from outside. I heard them when they arrived." Deep internal force indeed granted this ability. One could distinguish objects by listening to the wind. However, Zhu Yanyi was actually using her special abilities. Luo Gang felt something was wrong, but after thinking, she could not figure out what was strange. She could only assume she was overthinking.
"Since Miss has reached internal force, are you still no match for those people?" Wang Ye asked casually.
Zhu Yanyi sighed and looked at Wang Ye with an expression that said, What a silly question. "I am in the late stage of internal force, but I am not made of copper and iron. They have guns. With my thin arms and legs, if I go up there, I don't expect to return with all my eyebrows and whiskers intact."
"Haha." Luo Gang and the others found Zhu Yanyi’s words amusing and laughed.
"Hey, don't laugh. I am serious," Zhu Yanyi said with a serious expression. "But tonight is over. This empty city strategy was effective. When they come to their senses, Brother Yan and the others will have arrived. I won't need to worry."
Luo Gang and Wang Ye were also relieved that the empty city strategy had worked. Niu Chuntian still remembered the man in white clothes nearby. "What do you plan to do with this person?"
"Cold salad. She won't wake up for a while. Let's wait until people come tomorrow to decide," Zhu Yanyi shrugged and yawned. "Brother Luo, Brother Wang, let's stay here tonight. We will leave early tomorrow morning, before the others come to work. We can find a quiet place to pass the time." Fighting with people was truly tiring. Who said fighting with people was endless fun? The person who said that was either brainless or crazy. Zhu Yanyi did not think she lacked talent. She believed that people who liked fighting with others definitely had mental problems.
