The next morning, Ji Fengyan woke up with a start.
Junze had jumped before Ji Fengyan red-faced and excited.
“Fengyan! I told you I had a natural talent in pharmacy. Look, quickly…” Without waiting for a response from Ji Fengyan, he dragged her over to Xi Sinong’s side.
Xi Sinong had had little sleep, but he was looking much better than yesterday. There was color in his cheeks and appeared much more energetic.
Junze had fed Xi Sinong a lot more medicine yesterday—all concocted on his own. Their effectiveness was lacking but Junze had been too ashamed to admit it. As a result, seeing Xi Sinong’s recovery today, he had gotten overly excited and assumed that his own medicines had come through.
Little did he know…
Looking at Ji Fengyan being dragged before him, Xi Sinong hung his head in discomfort. He would not reveal to Junze that Ji Fengyan had given him something while Junze was sound asleep.
Ji Fengyan was also understanding of the situation. Looking at the crowing Junze, she calmly said, “Huh, you are really gifted. Good job, future pharmacist.”
She even patted Junze’s shoulder in mock seriousness.
Junze became increasingly spirited. He even swore to Xi Sinong that he would provide all of his future medicinal needs while at the capital institute.
Looking despondent, the physically weak Xi Sinong could only obediently nod his head.
So easily bullied…
Looking at the non-resisting Xi Sinong, Ji Fengyan could only shake her head in silence.
The three of them emerged from the dense forest onto a normal mountain path. Having braved a night in the wilderness together, they had forged some form of bond. Ji Fengyan couldn’t slip off alone now even if she wanted to. Moreover, if she left the easily-bullied Xi Sinong in the hands of that Junze…
Ji Fengyan was dubious if Xi Sinong could even make it alive to the top of the mountain.
Thanks to Junze’s constant chatter, the road ahead was not a bore. As Xi Sinong was wheelchair bound, their progress up the mountain was also somewhat delayed. Nevertheless, they reached the front gates of the capital institute before nightfall.
Gathered outside the front gates were youths from all corners of the kingdom. Those who had yet to formally enroll stood waiting at the side, while returning students entered the gates straight away.
Ji Fengyan temporarily parted ways with her company to join the Terminator registration queue. There were quite a number of Terminators in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Otherwise, they could not hold on to their status as a stronghold nation. There were already 11 to 12 people at the registration—and Ji Fengyan was shocked by the presence of one of them!
Liu Ruse!
Most of the Terminators were male. Female Terminators were among the minority. As a result, seeing that slender figure amidst a bunch of robust youths was exceptionally astounding.
Liu Ruse was a Terminator? Ji Fengyan could hardly believe it.
As there were not that many people, Ji Fengyan quickly reached the front of the queue. Welcoming Ji Fengyan and the other Terminators into the school was a senior from the school of pharmacy, himself a highly-regarded pharmacist. Still, in front of this bunch of Terminators, he appeared exceptionally humble and subservient, his smile nearly frozen permanent on his face.
This new batch of Terminators, including Ji Fengyan, numbered only 17. The only female Terminators were Ji Fengyan and Liu Ruse, thereby garnering quite a bit of attention from the other 15 male Terminators.
These were all young, virile youths, their betrothed status failing to contain their amorousness.
