One month later.
"Are there not three students from the Saint Academy with us?" Yan Aohan smiled faintly. "Besides, with my token and the Immortal Emperor’s jade pendant, Yu Hua will be safe even if danger strikes."
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, thinking for a moment. "It seems I must now mobilize the plants of this world."
For her now, controlling everything in this plane was incredibly simple, as long as there were plants.
After speaking, Zhu Yanyi took out a white jade flowerpot. Buried in the soil was a green seed.
She placed her hand on the seed. Slowly, it sprouted and grew, quickly blooming into a beautiful dandelion.
Zhu Yanyi lowered her hand. The dandelion swayed without wind. Soon, its seeds flew off on their own. No one knew where they went, but Zhu Yanyi received much information from this mother dandelion here.
Receiving countless messages, Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "In one month, the mortal war will begin. Within this month, the demon cultivators must be dealt with."
Although Zhu Yanyi appeared calm, a trace of killing intent accompanied her words. It was the killing intent belonging to the Divine Doctor’s Seat.
Seeing this, Yan Aohan’s eyebrows raised slightly. He looked at Zhu Yanyi, saying nothing.
Ouyang Mingyue was also stunned. After a while, he said, "So that’s how it is."
The Ruthless Young Master looked at Zhu Yanyi, who usually seemed easygoing and often acted coquettishly with Yan Aohan. Seeing her suddenly emit killing intent, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Silver Fox said, "I didn’t expect Little Divine Doctor to turn into a Killing Doctor."
"A Killing Doctor is still a doctor. It depends on whether you kill demons or monsters." Zhu Yanyi did not mind becoming a Killing Doctor.
As a healer, one should understand all types of medicine. "Killing Doctor" sounded unpleasant, but killing the evil leaves the good. It carried the meaning of "If I do not enter hell, who will?" However, understanding this point was not easy.
Actually, Zhu Yanyi did not fully understand this concept. She became a Killing Doctor because she knew that sometimes killing meant saving lives. That was why she acted this way.
Zhu Yanyi did not care about their gazes. As long as Yan Aohan did not mind, she had no need to worry.
"The mortal war begins in a month. We must eliminate the demon cultivators within this month. It seems we must act," Ouyang Mingyue sighed. This place would truly become busy, though not yet chaotic.
Actually, their intervention did not require much movement, but the demon cultivators could not be left unchecked.
Zhu Yanyi smiled gently. "You just need to hold the formation then. Let the students from the Saint Academy handle the specifics. They came here for karmic merit. Since that is the case, let this war begin with them."
Zhu Yanyi said calmly, "In five days, those people will sneak attack Yu Hua. I want to see how these three will react."
If Mo Changhen, Dan Sheng, and Feng Miaoling handled it properly, Zhu Yanyi could lower some of her prejudices. But if they were stubborn and had their own hidden agendas, then do not blame her. She did not bring them out to cause trouble.
Yan Aohan and the others naturally did not oppose Zhu Yanyi’s plan. Besides, this was Zhu Yanyi’s home ground. It was good that she had ideas.
However, preparations still needed to be made. Zhu Yanyi did not want mortals to be implicated. So, for the next five days, she began setting up an array—a protective array covering the entire capital.
Zhu Yanyi’s array was a simple protective one, designed only to prevent anyone from threatening the lives of the people here. As long as the threat did not target the mortals, she would not casually activate this array.
Zhu Yanyi would not appear often, but that did not mean she would not appear at all. Since someone was coming to sneak attack Yu Hua, Zhu Yanyi still needed to inform Mo Changhen and the other three.
Seeing Zhu Yanyi appear, the three of Mo Changhen were somewhat surprised.
"Be careful these few days. I have received reliable news that the Asura Kingdom has sent demon cultivators to deal with Your Majesty. You three will be busy for a while," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.
"Since we are here to execute a mission, this busyness is expected," Mo Changhen said directly.
Feng Miaoling asked, "Do we know how many people are coming to sneak attack the Great Yu Emperor?"
"The exact number is unknown, but we know there are no fewer than five. So, you must prepare well. Although we do not know their cultivation levels clearly, since they are demon cultivators coming to sneak attack, they likely have confidence. Be careful." The strength of demon cultivators lay not in deep cultivation, but in their instincts.
Dan Sheng’s eyes had been fixed on Zhu Yanyi. She said, "Many demon cultivators have talent. High talent leads to many unpredictable events. So, when demon cultivators come, we may be unable to defend against them all. Sister Yanyi, do you want to stay with us?"
Zhu Yanyi looked at Dan Sheng and shook her head slightly. "I will come over from time to time, but I will not stay with you constantly. I must not only protect the Great Yu Emperor’s safety but also worry about the people of the entire capital. So, I will be very busy these few days. Anyway, with the three of you here for the Emperor, I am very reassured."
Anyone could say nice words. Zhu Yanyi never considered herself foolish. Saying such words came easily to her, and what she said was half true, half false. She naturally had to protect the people here, but she had already set up the array. Once the array was active, it would naturally protect the entire capital.
Zhu Yanyi did not want to stay with Dan Sheng, so she simply said she was busy.
Dan Sheng looked deeply at Zhu Yanyi, her eyes showing a hint of disappointment. She sincerely hoped Zhu Yanyi would stay.
"The Emperor’s safety relies on you. I still need to check other places. You prepare yourselves in advance," Zhu Yanyi said, then took her leave.
Watching Zhu Yanyi leave, a trace of bitterness rose in Dan Sheng’s heart. Ever since she noticed the affinity secret art of the same attribute on Zhu Yanyi had disappeared, she knew she had discovered her actions. But she did not know why; she just wanted to get close to Zhu Yanyi. She admitted she had purposes, but more importantly, she truly had good feelings for Zhu Yanyi.
She did not understand. She, a demon cultivator, did not disdain Zhu Yanyi for being human. Why did Zhu Yanyi instead ignore her existence?
"Senior Brother Dan Sheng, are you still thinking about Zhu Yanyi? Haven’t you heard she has a husband? She has a husband, so do not go ruining other people’s marital affection," Feng Miaoling said, her words seeming to carry a hint of schadenfreude.
Dan Sheng moved several zhang away from Feng Miaoling directly. "What I do is none of your business. Do not try your charm on me; it is useless, and I will not take it to heart."
