Chapter 557 - 49: Want to Be Saved? Beg Me
Chapter 557 - 49: Want to Be Saved? Beg Me
"My disciple, only I have the right to discipline," said the Dark Gold Master disdainfully.
The expressions of the two male tutors behind Xi Yao also soured.
They drew their Magic Wands, as a fierce battle was about to begin.
At that moment, there was a commotion from the trainee dining hall below, and a few Mage trainees ran up, looking panicked: "Tutor Xi Yao, Senior Sister Chen and a few others have been poisoned."
It’s either birds of a feather flock together or like attracts like, but as it happens, Chen Lianlian’s tutor was indeed the very Tutor Xi Yao standing before them.
Xi Yao and Dark Gold were from the same Magic Academy and were close in age, and had been rivals for a long time.
But after Dark Gold learned Dark Magic, her strength surpassed Xi Yao’s.
Xi Yao, therefore, looked for every means to suppress Dark Gold. Chen Lianlian, a disciple she had taken on three years ago, was smart, looked good, and was sweet-talking, making her quite favored by Xi Yao.
Under Xi Yao’s full mentorship, Chen Lianlian even made it into the top hundred ranks of the Mainland Elite Camp, something Xi Yao always bragged about.
She had big plans to nurture Chen Lianlian, so the moment she heard that Chen Lianlian was in trouble, Xi Yao immediately rushed down, regardless of the conflict brewing with Dark Gold.
"Poisoned? Ha, it’s good that we didn’t eat the food from that place, otherwise we would be the ones poisoned," Donghuang Lingling said with a smile upon hearing the news, as she was still upset from being humiliated by Chen Lianlian and the others earlier.
"Hehe, that’s right, what goes around comes around," Yun Sheng chimed in with a smile.
The Dark Gold Master, overhearing this, glanced suspiciously at Yun Sheng.
As the master and two disciples arrived at the entrance of the central dining hall, they heard Tutor Xi Yao’s furious roar; she charged out of the crowd, drawing her Magic Wand, "Stop! You two poisoned Lianlian’s food!"
Seeing this, the Dark Gold Master was not surprised. She glanced at Tutor Xi Yao and said, "Xi Yao, as a tutor, you’re pointing your Magic Wand at two trainees who have just started at the academy? I think this matter must be reported to the Elder Council."
The recent commotion had drawn all the trainees in the dining hall to gather around.
The poisoned Chen Lianlian and the others were also helped out.
Donghuang Lingling still didn’t know exactly what the poisoning was about, but when she turned to look, she almost spat out the meal she had just eaten.
The faces of Chen Lianlian and several female Mages who were with her had swollen like pig heads, almost three to four times their original size, their facial features were barely discernible.
Worse still, their bodies itched unbearably, and they couldn’t stop scratching their skin, which was quickly wounded and bleeding.
"Tutor Xi Yao, you need evidence to back your accusations. Who saw us poison anything? What poison?" Yun Sheng rolled her eyes, spread her hands, and looked innocent.
"You still deny it? You just had a quarrel with Lianlian, and right after you left, they turned into this!" Tutor Xi Yao had already inquired and learned it was the two newcomers who had fought with Lianlian.
The newcomers who had just left were none other than the two new disciples of Dark Gold.
"Xi Yao, whether it’s poison or not, the doctors from the clinic will clarify upon their arrival. You better put away your Magic Wand," said the Dark Gold Master, with a grim face, though the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
The doctors from the clinic had already arrived and after examining Chen Lianlian and the others, they found nothing unusual.
"Not poisoned? Then how did they end up like this?" Tutor Xi Yao almost fainted.
"Tutor... it has to be her, she’s a renowned Doctor in Great Zhou, she must have a way to cure the disciples," Chen Lianlian wanted nothing more than to crawl into a hole, but the itchiness on her body was unbearable, her constant scratching was painful and itchy, almost to the point of death.
She was certain, it was Yun Sheng, that malicious woman, who had secretly struck with poison.
But she knew it was Yun Sheng who had sabotaged them, yet she couldn’t produce any solid evidence, which infuriated Chen Lianlian to the point of nearly fainting.
Tutor Xi Yao glared fiercely at Yun Sheng, "Lian Lian says you are a very skilled doctor, you must have a way to cure this!"
"Oh? Tutor Xi Yao, as a tutor, is this how you implore someone to treat your student’s illness?" Yun Sheng said with a smile that was filled with malice.
"You! Shameless wretch, don’t be so ungrateful," Xi Yao was so angry she almost choked, she, Xi Yao, was also an Intermediate Tutor in the Mainland Elite Camp.
And now, she had to beg a new trainee, who was also a disciple of Dark Gold.
"Beg if you want, Dark Gold Master, let’s go back," Yun Sheng pouted.
At this point, even Dark Gold Master had realized that this matter was undoubtedly related to Yun Sheng.
But she had already seen Tutor Xi Yao and her student as thorns in her side, using this opportunity to teach them a lesson was also beneficial.
The trio of master and disciples turned to leave.
Xi Yao’s face was a mix of complex emotions as she understood that if even the doctors at the Elite Camp’s medical facility couldn’t diagnose the problem, then the only ones who could save Chen Lianlian and the others were probably just two people, one was the current Yun Sheng, and the other was...
Better to beg Yun Sheng than that person.
"To this trainee, if you have a way to cure the bizarre illness of Lian Lian and the others, please lend us your help," Tutor Xi Yao begged a trainee with a lowered stance, and furthermore, this trainee was a newcomer with only the cultivation of a Magic Master.
The surrounding martial artists and mages were all abuzz with discussion.
Yun Sheng stopped in her tracks, looking genuinely flattered: "Tutor Xi Yao, you’re asking me to treat them; should I just agree?"
Yun Sheng’s words instantly made Tutor Xi Yao lose face.
"What do you mean? I’m asking you as a tutor, and you dare to refuse?"
"Hehe, Tutor Xi Yao, don’t misunderstand. What I mean is, I am just a newbie, usually following my tutor’s instructions. If you want me to take action, you’ll need to ask Dark Gold Master. If she permits me to help, then I can act," Yun Sheng spread her hands, innocence on her face.
Upon hearing this, Tutor Xi Yao nearly ground her teeth to dust.
It wasn’t enough to ask one; she had to ask another.
But hearing the painful cries of several trainees nearby, Tutor Xi Yao had no other choice. She had to approach the Dark Gold Master and respectfully pleaded, "Dark Gold Master, I earnestly request that you allow your trainee to intervene and save Lian Lian and the others. This favor, I will not forget."
Those last words were said through gritted teeth and with extreme resentment.
"Since that’s the case, Yun Sheng, you go ahead and treat them," Dark Gold Master also felt a secret thrill inside.
Although she didn’t know by what means Yun Sheng had done it, the fact that she could make Tutor Xi Yao bow down without lifting a finger was a delight in itself.
"As you command, Dark Gold Master," Yun Sheng replied crisply.
She went over to Chen Lianlian and the others, pretending to examine them.
After looking them over, Yun Sheng turned and walked into the central dining hall. She soon came out carrying several bowls of something.
The onlookers who were watching covered their noses and stepped back as they caught sight of what was in Yun Sheng’s hands.
