"We are healers. Healers do not use brute force. We have plenty of medicine. So, guests, the Saint Sage Academy prison is open for you."
Zhu Yanyi tilted her bottle. A powder poured out, but strangely, it vanished into the air.
"Seventh Senior Sister, please give them the antidote," Zhu Yanyi said.
Zhuo Yue and others woke up. They quickly gave an antidote pill to Yi Yunfei and the other two. As soon as they swallowed it, the dozen attackers collapsed on the ground.
"So weak? I thought you could last ten minutes. You fell in less than five. My poison needs improvement," Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly.
"Do you want it to last longer?" Zhuo Yue asked casually.
"Why longer? They are enemies. Shorter is better. I want them to fall instantly when the bottle opens. But I don't know when I can reach that speed," Zhu Yanyi said, looking regretful. She felt frustrated that her poison-making skills were not yet perfect.
Yi Yunfei looked at Zhu Yanyi helplessly. "Your powder is good. Is it hard to make?"
"Easy to make. The herbs are common. Why, does Eldest Senior Brother want some?" Zhu Yanyi asked with a smile.
"Not just me. All seniors and juniors want it. Please prepare some for self-defense," Yi Yunfei answered seriously. "You are right. We are healers. We deal with medicine, including poison. So, we don't need to fight with swords."
Zhu Yanyi gave Yi Yunfei a thumbs-up. She liked people who didn't care too much about worldly rules. If Yi Yunfei were too rigid, she would stay away from her.
"Also, Huichun Pills," Zhuo Yue reminded.
"Okay. I will prepare five types of poison with different strengths, three types of sleeping drugs, ten Huichun Pills, and twenty Yuanling Pills for each sibling. That should be enough," Zhu Yanyi said.
"I am going to the competition too. If you need more, just ask. I have plenty of medicine," she added with a smile.
Mi Xiao thought for a moment. "Fifteen, have you never thought about fighting with your hands?"
"Why fight? We are healers. That is our identity. Why use strength?" Zhu Yanyi looked confused. "As long as it is not against the rules, we should use our specialty. Our specialty is 'healing'. Healing includes saving lives and fighting enemies. Using poison is normal."
Jian Feiyan laughed loudly. "Fifteen is right! We can spar with friends, but against enemies, we use our methods. Eldest Senior Brother, don't you agree?"
Yi Yunfei nodded. "Yes. Discuss this with everyone later. Remember we are healers. Don't let people bully you. That is most important."
Many people thought using medicine was dirty. But for Zhu Yanyi, it was not. Using medicine against enemies was saving herself. It was not dirty.
Zhu Yanyi liked to hide her strength. If she could use medicine, she saved her physical strength as a trump card. Having more trump cards was good.
So far, only Yan Aohan knew how many trump cards Zhu Yanyi had. That was her biggest secret.
When other Saint Sage Academy students arrived, they saw the unconscious enemies. They all looked away silently. They pretended not to see it. They would never tell anyone.
News spread that Saint Sage Academy students were ambushed. This was intentional. Xi Muzheng wanted to suppress the Paipai Hall.
Xi Muzheng protected his students fiercely. He would not allow anyone to hurt them, especially within the academy. He was very angry.
The anger of Ancestor Dongxu was terrifying. He did not need a reason. He stood on a small hill near Paipai Hall and struck it with one palm. The hill shattered.
"Whoever dares to bully my students again will end up like this hill," he warned.
His warning shocked everyone, including Wu Xie of Paipai Hall.
Wu Xie realized this was a warning to Paipai Hall.
"Who sent people to ambush the Saint Sage Academy students?" Wu Xie asked.
After asking many people, someone said, "Miss Honglian sent us. It was not an ambush, but a kidnapping. We wanted to find out who in the academy has the Strange Fire."
"Bring Honglian here," Wu Xie said angrily. He hated people who disobeyed him.
Honglian came quickly. "Young Master."
Wu Xie slapped her hard. She fell to the ground. "Honglian, who told you to kidnap our students? Do you ignore my words?"
"I was wrong," Honglian admitted quickly. She knew she had made a mistake after seeing Xi Muzheng's power.
"Honglian, do not think you can decide things for me. My affairs are not yours to decide. If you do it again, I will kill you," Wu Xie said coldly.
"Yes," Honglian bowed her head, afraid to look at her.
Wu Xie huffed and left.
Honglian looked up. Her eyes were dark. No one knew what she was thinking.
Zhu Yanyi was busy preparing medicine for her siblings: poison, sleeping drugs, Huichun Pills, Yuanling Pills, and Yangshen Pills.
