Upon hearing this, Elder Zhang’s expression changed drastically, and he pointed at Yun Sheng and cursed loudly: "What did you say? You’re saying there’s something wrong with the Beast Blood I refined, and that Shangguan Tuo went mad because of it? Just for that remark, I could have you expelled from the Martial Arts Hall!"
"Who do you think you are? Wuxuan Wuji Hall has a Hall Director and a Vice Hall Director, it’s not your place to expel trainees just because you’re an elder of the Medicine Hall. I dare to speak out because I am fully confident in proving the truth of my claims. I am certain, it’s the misuse of the Beast Blood you refined from the Blood Cloud Beast that turned Shangguan Tuo into this," declared Yun Sheng decisively.
"Guards, seize this wild girl spouting nonsense, and take her to the Discipline Hall," Elder Zhang signaled with his eyes to the men beside him.
"Hold on! She’s not wrong. Zhang Chao, who gave you the right to dispose of trainees as you please?" A few steps away, Zhan Li with Bu Jiuxiao approached.
Fortunately, Ye Beiming was not accompanying them. Zhan Li stepped forward and examined Shangguan Tuo’s condition.
Zhan Li and Bu Jiuxiao had just returned to the Martial Arts Hall. During their absence, Cheng Bai had reported all the events that occurred in the hall through letters, including the use of Blood Cloud Beast to refine Beast Blood in the Medicine Hall to aid trainees of the Inner Hall with Beast Blood Fusion.
After learning about this, the usually bold Zhan Li took an unusually cautious and conservative approach, requesting the Medicine Hall to temporarily refrain from distributing any Beast Blood refined from Blood Cloud Beast to any of the trainees.
Yet, to his surprise, the very day he returned, he heard of disturbances at the Medicine Hall. Upon rushing over, he found Shangguan Tuo collapsed on the ground.
Every word exchanged between Yun Sheng and Elder Zhang had been heard by Zhan Li and the others without missing a single detail.
Seeing the Vice Hall Director appear, Elder Zhang also felt somewhat uneasy.
"Elder Zhang, what is going on here? Haven’t I instructed you not to distribute the Beast Blood of the Blood Cloud Beast to trainees? Where did Shangguan Tuo get his Beast Blood?" Zhan Li, after checking on Shangguan Tuo, saw that his vital energy was chaotic, and a surge of hostility roiled within his dantian.
This hostility could tear Shangguan Tuo’s dantian apart at any moment, and if mismanaged, it might lead to his deviation and a lifelong inability to practice martial arts again.
Elder Zhang hemmed and hawed, naturally unable to explain because he had received a large sum of money from Shangguan Tuo and had secretly handed over a portion of the Blood Cloud Beast Blood to him.
Shangguan Tuo was already among the top ten in strength within the Inner Hall, but compared to the likes of Cheng Bai and Bu Jiuxiao, he still fell short.
In his eagerness to succeed, he bribed Elder Zhang, not expecting to go mad after consuming the Beast Blood.
"I will leave this matter to the Discipline Hall to deal with," Zhan Li knew the importance of moderation. Now was not the time to severely punish Elder Zhang. The priority was to find a way to restore Shangguan Tuo.
What’s more essential was to find the reason why the Blood Cloud Beast Blood caused madness; otherwise, the Blood Cloud Beast Blood would become unusable, and the arduously obtained Beast Blood would go to waste.
Zhan Li stepped in front of Yun Sheng and said earnestly, "You’re the Magic Pharmacist from the Royal Magic Academy that day, aren’t you? You addressed ’Senior Brother Bu’ just now because you knew that the only person Shangguan Tuo fears in the Inner Hall is Jiuxiao, right?"
Yun Sheng nodded her head.
Behind Zhan Li, Bu Jiuxiao squinted slightly and couldn’t help but take another look at Yun Sheng.
In the midst of the earlier chaos, the first reaction for most people would be to flee the scene immediately, but this child remained very calm, even knowing to exploit others’ weaknesses.
Shangguan Tuo, as a trainee of the Inner Hall, is also among the top ten in strength, but Yun Sheng has heard Lei Hu say that the most formidable person in the Inner Hall is Bu Jiuxiao.
Moreover, this person is a combat enthusiast, preferring to spar with others to practice Combat Skills. During fights, he does not regard gender or status, intimidating nearly every trainee in the Inner Hall.
Shangguan Tuo was no exception. In fact, Shangguan Tuo and Bu Jiuxiao had entered the Martial Arts Hall together in their early years, even sharing a dormitory in the Outer Hall.
Poor Shangguan Tuo could be said to have been bullied by Bu Jiuxiao all the way, virtually becoming a human punching bag.
His wariness toward Bu Jiuxiao was ingrained in his blood, hence the brief hesitation upon hearing Bu Jiuxiao’s name.
It was precisely this momentary pause that Yun Sheng took advantage of to successfully launch a surprise attack with the Medical Soul Divine Needle.
Although Zhan Li did not witness the scene firsthand, by inquiring from the people around, he understood the full story of what had happened.
"A clever child indeed. But, do you know that in Wuxuan Wuji Hall, there is heavy respect for hierarchy and reverence for teachers. Your earlier disdain for your elders and the defamatory remarks about Elder Zhang could lead to expulsion from the Martial Arts Hall by the Discipline Hall, if you lack solid evidence," Zhan Li emphasized, with the responsibility of the Vice Hall Director to distinguish between rewards and punishments. Yun Sheng’s handling of Shangguan Tuo was meritorious.
But if she slandered without evidence, that was an offense.
To distinguish clearly between rewards and punishments is the core principle of establishing Wuxuan Wuji Hall.
"Yes, Vice Hall Director, this exchange student is quite sly, with a belly full of tricks at such a young age. Earlier, she had tampered with my son Zhang Zipo, whose hand and face have been swollen for some time. A student like her should have been expelled long ago," Elder Zhang said fiercely from the side.
"The beam is not straight if the upper part is not rectified, Elder Zhang, I must ask you, why would Zhang Zipo’s hand and foot swell if he does not engage in wrongdoings, does not touch what should not be touched, does not do what should not be done? Vice Hall Director, I am not making baseless accusations, he is a Doctor, and I am also a Doctor," Yun Sheng said, producing her Doctor’s Token.
"Oh, you are a famous doctor?" Zhan Li had a deep impression of Yun Sheng’s alchemy ability from the last time he saw her at the Royal Magic Academy.
Looking at the Doctor’s Token in Yun Sheng’s hand, it indeed came from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
"Vice Hall Director, what she says is true, Big Sister was really awesome back in our village, she even saved the life of the village chief who was seriously injured by magic," Lei Hu chimed in from the side.
A seven-year-old doctor who can also make Advanced Magic Medicine, Zhan Li’s furrowed brows relaxed.
"Nonsense, she is clearly a Mage, how could she also be a Doctor? To practice both Magic Potion making and Ancient Medical Skill is unheard of, unseen of. Besides, you are merely a Doctor, how can you compare with a Four-direction Wanderer Doctor like me," Elder Zhang blustered and glared.
He could not believe that an eight-year-old child could truly surpass himself.
"Whether it’s true or false, let’s put it to the test. We have a patient right here and now. Elder Zhang, since you claim such a high level of Medical Skill, let us see who can actually save Shangguan Tuo," Yun Sheng spoke confidently.
**Thank you Pudding and Xu Xu for the rewards. In the next Chapter, the fox shows up, and Little Wildcat will be teased**
