Chapter 124: Chapter 59 The Emperor is not afraid eitherQi’s intuition was very accurate. When Yun Sheng and his two companions rushed to the treatment room, it was already engulfed in flames. By the time the fire was extinguished, Chu San, who had only recently been taken to the treatment room, had been burned to death. A body charred beyond recognition was carried out. The source of the fire, it was said, originated from an inexplicable explosion of a Magic Potion Array in the treatment room. Several instructors from the academy hurried over and after inspecting Chu San’s corpse, confirmed that he died of asphyxiation in the fire. In Chu San’s dormitory, a book containing records of Dark Magic was found, proving that the Wind Mage Chu San, out of resentment for failing the intermediate trainee assessments at the academy twice, secretly harbored hatred for the academy, surreptitiously purchased Ghost Aphids, and was preparing to seek revenge by releasing them into the academy’s Public Herb Field. The entire incident was swiftly construed as a case of Chu San’s personal moral depravity and detrimental influence on the academy’s ethos, and it had nothing to do with the Magic Fighting Association. Chen Lianlian also arrived at the academic affairs office with her people, apologizing to the school authorities in the name of the Combat Association, acting impeccably righteous and flawless on the surface. The whole incident was entirely blamed on Chu San. "He was killed first, and then the fire was set to burn his body," Yun Sheng asserted his judgment to Gu Feng and others in private after inspecting Chu San’s body. Despite the extensive burns on the body, Chu San’s nose and mouth were very clean, which wouldn’t be the case if he had really died of suffocation, as there would have been a lot of ash in his nostrils and mouth. "That’s a trick commonly used by the Magic Fighting Association. By yourself, you won’t be able to retaliate against the Magic Fighting Association," Qi was much calmer compared to Gu Feng’s anxiety. Having spent more time at the Magic Academy than either Gu Feng or Yun Sheng, for Qi, the Royal Magic Academy wasn’t necessarily any cleaner than a place mixed with dragons and snakes like Wanlong Gambling House. Afterwards, Master Mei Li specifically inquired about the incident with Yun Sheng. Yun Sheng deftly absolved herself of any involvement, but deep down, she became even more vigilant against people like Chen Lianlian. She had thought that the Magic Combat Association was merely typical campus bullying, never expecting that they would not hesitate to commit acts such as murder and arson. After listening, Master Mei Li didn’t express whether she believed or disbelieved her, but she cautioned Yun Sheng earnestly, "Do not directly confront the Magic Combat Association. Behind it is not just the simple involvement of the Chen and Song families; it is backed by the Royal Family. That Chen Lianlian is also a duplicitous character; she has been pre-selected as a candidate for Crown Princess Consort of Great Zhou, and you cannot outmatch her." "The Royal Family?" Yun Sheng didn’t expect that behind a trivial Combat Association, there would be such a complex web of relations. Master Mei Li spoke earnestly, "Yun Sheng, you haven’t been in Yujing for long. There are things you don’t need to know, but you must be aware that inside Yujing City, there are places you should not provoke lightly." Due to her relationship with Yun Canghai, Master Mei Li treated Yun Sheng with not only the care a teacher has for a student but also a special affection. There were things she had intended to tell Yun Sheng only once she became an intermediate student, but the incident with Chu San made Master Mei Li realize that Yun Sheng was a bright and astute child, who only due to her age, lacked comprehensive judgment in dealing with the world. "Within Yujing City, there are several powers you cannot afford to provoke. One is the Royal Family, another is the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, and there’s also the Wuxuan Wuji Hall," Master Mei Li said slowly. The dignity of the Royal Family must not be offended, a fact known to every commoner. As for the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, renowned across the continent as the core of medical practice, the reasons it should not be provoked are equally clear. But what about the Wuxuan Wuji Hall? "Speaking of Wuxuan Wuji Hall, we have to mention your grandfather, the Martial Saint General Yun Bahe. The hall has trained numerous military generals for Great Zhou, with half of Great Zhou’s generals coming from the Wuji Pavilion. There have been rumors for years that the reason the Royal Family wholeheartedly supports the Magic Academy is to suppress the Wuxuan Wuji Hall. Yun Sheng, you promised the master that you must not engage in conflicts with Chen Lianlian and others, as it could very likely expose you and your father’s identity," Master Mei Li, as a Mage and also a teacher at the Magic Academy, was already filled with righteous indignation towards some bureaucratic behavior within the Magic Royal Academy. If not for the fact that she was a Magic Pharmacist and the vast Magic Potion resources she required could only be obtained through the Royal Magic Academy, she would have left the Magic Royal Academy long ago. Yun Canghai and his daughter now have no support and are also unwelcome by the General Mansion.

Master Mei Li was afraid that due to her father once being a Dark Mage, Yun Sheng’s talent would become a tool for others. Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng’s heart wryly smiled. She feared that Master Mei Li would be disappointed if she knew that in the past few months, she had already offended the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, and even quietly incurred the wrath of the Royal Family behind the Magic Fighting Association. "Master Mei Li, I can only promise you that I will not offend anyone who doesn’t offend me. If one day, the Combat Association harms the interests of people around me, whether it’s the Royal Family or the whole Great Zhou behind it, I, Yun Sheng, will definitely show no mercy," Yun Sheng’s little face, at that moment, burst out with an unwavering determination. Master Mei Li saw this and couldn’t help but catch her breath. After the incident with Chu San, the Magic Fighting Association quieted down for a while. Neither Song Xiangru nor Chen Lianlian sent anyone to harass Yun Sheng any longer. In a flash, several months passed, and Yun Sheng successfully completed her first Medicinal Herb Harvest in the Public Herb Field. With her proficiency in the Rainfall Technique and Earth Spur, Magic Thorns, the Medicine Field under Yun Sheng’s care achieved the best harvest since the establishment of the Magic Academy. Over sixty percent of the treasured medicinal herbs in the field reached Second-class, and thirty percent reached First-class. Upon hearing this news, the Academy rewarded Yun Sheng with a generous scholarship for two years, and in addition, twenty Magic Power points were added to Magic Potion Group Thirteen, which made Master Mei Li ecstatic. After the harvest of the Public Herb Field, there will be a two-month fallow period to recover soil fertility, which also means that Yun Sheng can get a period of rest. During this time, not only Yun Sheng but also Qi Ye frequently visited the Book Pavilion of the Academy, ceaselessly reviewing for the end-term assessment. Given Yun Sheng’s background from her previous life, her speed and accuracy in memorizing the various Magic Potion names and effects for the Magic Potion Department was remarkable, which made Gu Feng, with his wooden head, die of envy. Free from the necessity of memorizing various materials, Yun Sheng devoted most of her time in the Magic Tower. Not long after the incident of Bobbie stealing the card, since the school’s verification seemed ineffective, the incident of the lost card was treated as a common loss. Yun Sheng once again entered the Magic Tower. This time she dared not let Bobbie bounce around everywhere again. With the help of the Magic Tower, Yun Sheng finally combined Magic Thorns with her Medical Soul Dark Needle. On top of its original basis, the effect of the Dark Needle was greatly enhanced and now also carried a paralyzing effect. Her Central System Earth Element Magic, Earth Escape, also improved a lot. Now her Earth Escape could move about ten meters in an instant. Half a year has passed, and in half a month, Yun Sheng and the people of Magic Potion Group Thirteen will face the end-term assessment of the Royal Magic Academy. However, before the end-term assessment, Yun Sheng encountered a little interlude.
