After finishing the saury, Zhu Yanyi began eating the rice cakes. She looked up and asked, "Actually, I’m curious. Brother Gu Jun and her friends are also very good doctors. Why did you choose to ask me for help instead of them? You know they come from the Sage Academy."
Zi Ji Xiong sighed helplessly. "Little Divine Doctor, I won’t hide it from you. If our sect members seek medical help from the Sage Academy, we have to pay a huge price. That price includes our sect’s resources. So, we dare not ask them."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Gu Jun. "What kind of resources make people so afraid of you? Are you doing this on purpose? You entered the mortal world as doctors and treated many patients, but I never saw you ask for any special resources."
Gu Jun laughed heartily. "He is right. Sect disciples must follow sect rules when seeking treatment. But patients in the mortal world just want to get better. They only need to pay the medicine fees."
Actually, for ordinary people, medicine fees were also a kind of resource. But sect resources were different from mortal resources. Since Zhu Yanyi was not yet a sect member, Gu Jun did not explain in detail. However, Zhu Yanyi understood the meaning behind her words.
"It seems we ordinary people have it better in some ways," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. Then she turned to Zi Ji Xiong. "You are also lucky. I will take the Sage Academy exam at the end of this year. If I pass, it will be hard for you to ask me for help. Once I join the sect, I must follow the rules. Unless I grow strong enough to shake all the sects, I cannot break the rules."
Zhu Yanyi did not hide this fact. Zi Ji Xiong and the other three disciples of the Zihua Sect sighed inwardly at their good luck. If it were not for luck, how could such a coincidence happen? Everything depended on fate.
Since Zhu Yanyi had promised Zi Ji Xiong, she would definitely accept the patients when she brought them. She would never refuse.
The disciples from the Shaolin and Taiji sects did not speak, but they felt a bit more respect for Zhu Yanyi. Earlier, when she introduced her family and protected them so well, they had already respected her more. Taiji was Daoist, and Shaolin was Buddhist. Usually, they had no family, but in fact, everyone came from somewhere. They just kept their families in their hearts and did not let others know.
Zi Ni’s face was still pale. Although Yan Aohan’s disdain made her sad, she still couldn’t help stealing glances at him, hoping he would give her a signal.
Zhu Yanyi saw this. Mi Xiao saw it too. Even her two senior sisters saw it.
Zi Xiao felt helpless. She only hoped Zi Ni would not lose face again. She coughed lightly to remind her. Zi Xia, sitting next to Zi Ni, gently pulled her sleeve. Seeing how others looked at them as if they were the third party, Zi Xia felt embarrassed. Although she admitted Yan Aohan was rare, he was the Venerable Yanluo of the Capital. He was not someone ordinary people could match.
Moreover, Yan Aohan clearly had Zhu Yanyi. Except for her, he did not put anyone else in his eyes.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan and raised an eyebrow slightly. Her expression said, "Look, this person is deeply in love with you."
Yan Aohan smiled directly at Zhu Yanyi. He did not plan to put anyone else in his heart. People like Zi Ni were not even worth his attention.
Seeing their interaction, Zi Ni’s jealousy burned even hotter. "As a girl, you don’t know how to be reserved at all."
Everyone was eating. When Zi Ni finished speaking, everyone looked at her at the same time. They all thought the same thing: Was this person’s head twisted? How could she have such thoughts?
Mi Xiao burst out laughing. "Fourth Brother, did my ears fail me? Why is someone rushing up to get beaten?"
Gu Jun coughed. "Little Nine, don’t talk nonsense. What do you mean hoping to get beaten? That’s not true."
"How is it not true? Yanyi has nothing to do with her. Besides, Yanyi and Lord Yan are engaged. Even if they haven’t got the marriage certificate in the mortal world yet, in our eyes, engagement is marriage. They are open and care for each other. Why does someone come to disturb them and ask for a beating? Isn’t that asking for trouble?"
Mi Xiao felt that people really needed to take care of their brains. People without brains spoke and acted without thinking. If this news spread, it would be a joke. Even Emei Sect would become a laughingstock for other sects.
Zhu Yanyi looked at Mi Xiao, then at Yan Aohan. "Someone said I am not reserved."
"Couples don’t need to be reserved with each other. Reserve is for outsiders." Yan Aohan was truly good at cursing without using dirty words. This was clever. It meant that those who criticized him were absolute outsiders. He could just ignore them.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and thought. Then she said, "In the end, it’s because you are too handsome. You look good, and you are the Venerable Yanluo of the Capital. As the plays say, you have power and status, looks and talent. More importantly, you are considerate to me and love your family. With so many advantages, it’s no wonder someone wants to stick to you automatically. Naturally, they see me as an enemy."
Then Zhu Yanyi rested her chin on her left hand and looked at Yan Aohan. "Tell me, how many such rotten peaches will there be in the future?"
"If they are rotten peaches, why care about them? Just throw them away. Don’t keep them in mind. Rotten peaches can’t be eaten, nor can they be used for medicine. Throwing them away is best. Don’t let them dirty the place." Yan Aohan’s sharp tongue came out naturally. Besides, Zi Ni was asking for embarrassment herself.
The couple loved each other. It had nothing to do with her. Yet she had to say such things. It was really boring.
Zi Ni looked at Yan Aohan with a hurt expression. "Lord Yan, how can you speak to me like that?"
"Who are you?" Yan Aohan didn’t even lift his head. "Not just anyone can sit here. Dogs and cats sitting here simply defile this seat." The meaning was clear: Smart people should leave automatically. Don’t come here to ask for embarrassment.
