The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Panda Novel

Xing Lou’s gaze was so stern that the young men all thought that Ji Fengyan was heavily injured.

It must be known that they could survive only until now because of Ji Fengyan’s powers. At the end, Ji Fengyan and Qin Muyao had even charged out of the institution. In order for more people to escape from the institution, they sacrificed themselves to distract the demon clan and the young men all felt heavily indebted to them now.

If anything was to happen to Ji Fengyan… they would probably be unable to forgive themselves in their entire lifetime.

Xing Lou slightly lifted his head and looked at the young men who had unknowingly surrounded them. But his expression did not change.

Instead, for Ji Fengyan…

“I am fine, you guys don’t have to look this grim,” seeing some young men who were about to cry, Ji Fengyan could not help but comfort them. She was very clear about her own condition. Her vital energy had supported her exhaustion. Besides some blood loss, she was fine.

But…

“Fengyan, at such a time, you should not lie to us anymore. You were this heavily injured only because of us…”

The more Ji Fengyan said that, the more uneasy the young men felt. Some of them started to well up with tears and sobbed.

Ji Fengyan, “…”

She was really fine.

Ji Fengyan could only look at Xing Lou, hoping that he could explain on behalf of her.

But…

“She is heavily injured and needs to rest, otherwise…” Xing Lou’s brows frowned and he acted as if it was hard for him to continue with his words.

Upon hearing what Xing Lou had to say, the young men immediately wept even louder.

Ji Fengyan stared at Xing Lou in disbelief. If not because he was the nation’s grand tutor, and had saved everyone, she would really expose him for his ridiculous lies in front of everyone!

“Fengyan you must rest well.”

“Ji Fengyan, nothing must happen to you.”

“Master Grand Tutor, you must save Ji Fengyan. We had only survived because of her this time.”

A bunch of young men looked at Xing Lou pitifully and had almost knelt to beg Xing Lou to “save” Ji Fengyan’s life.

Xing Lou nodded slightly under everyone’s gaze that was filled with anticipation. Then he looked at Ji Fengyan and said shamelessly, “Don’t worry. I will definitely take care of you.”

“…” Ji Fengyan did not say anything.

She felt that she did not require any special care.

The reinforcement troops that had accompanied Xing Lou had learnt almost everything about the agonising battle that the capital institute had been through from the young men. They had also learnt that all the mentors had sacrificed themselves and the institute director had used up his life to protect everyone. This made everyone feel sorrowful.

And they knew that the seemingly weak and frail young girl was actually the main helping hand for saving these young men. Not only did they change their impression of Ji Fengyan, they also did not think too much about the grand tutor’s “special care” for Ji Fengyan. They only felt that the grand tutor was especially kind and it was not inappropriate for him to show great concern for Ji Fengyan, who had made a huge contribution.

After settling down for a while, the young men all rested for a while and their energy slowly recovered. The capital institute was destroyed and they could not stay any longer. No one could tell for sure whether the retreated demons would return to battle again.

Everyone decided to leave the capital institute immediately and settle down in a nearby city until the Emperor had given his command.

The reinforcement troops carried the heavily injured young men onto the Shijiu. Xing Lou had originally wanted to carry Ji Fengyan onto the Shijiu, but right after they walked out of the martial arts arena, there was a huge dragon head sticking out.
