Chapter 728: Trapping Rabbits in the Mountains!

Dong Bo Cao’s face, usually so mischievous, now wore a look of schadenfreude. In fact, all her fellow disciples shared this expression. Zhu Yanyi felt that her relationship with them was purely superficial.

"How is it? My little disciple is great, isn't she? Smart, talented, quick to understand, skilled in medicine making, and good at learning medical arts." The Medicine Elder praised Zhu Yanyi without holding back. Zhu Yanyi looked at him with a mix of amusement and embarrassment. "Grandpa Medicine, we should be modest."

"Modest about what? As long as I know you are good, that's enough. Who needs to be modest? Besides, you really are very good." The Medicine Elder refuted her directly.

"That's right, our Zhu Yanyi is just that good." Spring Elder joined in the fun.

Seeing that the other masters seemed ready to speak, Zhu Yanyi quickly said, "Yes, yes, I know I am good. But we Chinese people value humility. So, Grandpa Medicine, Grandpa Spring, Grandpa Zhan, and all the grandpas and grandmas, let's keep a low profile, okay? Otherwise, if I appear too smart, it might discourage others. Look at Senior Brother Monster, standing there motionless. He must be discouraged by Grandpa Medicine's words."

"I… what did I do?" Dong Bo Cao couldn't believe Zhu Yanyi would drag her into this. "And don't call me Senior Brother Monster."

"You are Senior Brother Monster. Ask the grandpas and senior brothers here. Aren't you the most monster-like looking?" Zhu Yanyi said with a playful glint in her eyes.

Fourth Brother, Zhu Ziming, laughed heartily and patted Dong Bo Cao on the shoulder. "I say, Fifth Brother, you really are a monster."

"Get lost." Dong Bo Cao growled lowly, not in a good mood.

"Don't use bad language. It damages your elegant, monster-like image." Yu Qingyun added from the side.

Second Brother, Qu Zhong, nodded slightly. "Fifth Brother is indeed too monster-like. We all agree. That's why I didn't let him go to the Miao region with me. The girls there are very enthusiastic. If they saw a monster like Fifth Brother, I think he wouldn't need to study herbs. He would likely be snatched away to be a husband."

"I am kind-hearted, so I won't say anything." Gu Jingtian spoke slowly, looking like the responsible eldest brother who wouldn't join in the teasing. However, the more one looked at him, the more it seemed like he was throwing mud too.

Dong Bo Cao looked at her brothers with a helpless smile. "Do you have any shame? Treating your own brother like this." Then she glared at Zhu Yanyi. "I am still your senior brother. You have no respect for elders or care for the young."

Zhu Yanyi blinked her innocent eyes. "Can't help it. Sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone. I always emphasized that we should be low-key, but Grandpa Medicine disagreed. So, I had no choice but to drag you down with me." Her apologetic yet clearly insincere expression made Dong Bo Cao say directly, "Little Junior Sister, you are too bad. I even applied for a laboratory, planning to develop new drugs with you."

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Dong Bo Cao. "Thank you. You know I will start high school soon and won't have much time to come out. Yet you still applied for a laboratory. Do you think I am Nezha with three heads and six arms?" Saying she applied for her sake was just an excuse to exploit her labor.

"(⊙o⊙)…" Dong Bo Cao was slightly stunned. It was the Medicine Elder who spoke up:
