"No, please—"
"I can’t not sell it! I still want to buy the magic potion! I didn’t get a spot last ti!"
"My second aunt, third uncle, fourth aunt, fifth uncle, sixth uncle, seventh aunt, and eighth aunt are all waiting for to help them buy the third batch of hemostatic dicine! If I don’t get it, my parents will kill !"
"It’s just an apology! We’ll apologize! We shouldn’t have damaged the magic plants that others worked hard to grow; it delays their progress in making blood-stopping magic potions!"
"Exactly! If you have the guts, go fight the magic beasts in the instance, why destroy others’ magic plant work, how cowardly!"
Skill Departnt students started clamoring; they had obediently stayed in their dorms doing nothing, only to find out that because of Xu Jing and the others, they could never buy magic potions again—how utterly unlucky!
"Dean! Please say sothing! We can’t do without the magic potions!" Many Skill Departnt students shouted, worried that Qian Qi might stop selling the hemostatic dicine to their departnt.
Fan Jinghai didn’t even know about the hemostatic dicine and defense fruit situation yet. Now, with the Skill Departnt students suddenly turning against him, he felt terribly disgraced.
This was essentially a challenge to the Dean’s authority. Full of rage, he took a deep breath and shouted louder than Qian Qi’s loudspeaker: "All of you, shut up! This clamor is disgraceful!"
His roar frightened the Skill Departnt students into silence; they wanted to speak up, but their hearts were too timid.
After all, Fan Jinghai was a Dean with significant stature both inside and outside the school; his fury was intimidating—only Qian Qi dared to confront him.
"I’m not speaking to you. If you have the guts, get Li Hongsheng out to talk to !" Fan Jinghai acted domineeringly, not considering Qian Qi at all, "You’re just a student; you can’t make decisions!"
The principal, who had been watching all along, quickly pushed through the crowd, "Dean Fan..."
"Principal?" When Fan Jinghai saw the principal, his anger sowhat subsided.
Pointing at Qian Qi and the others, he reprimanded, "Look at their Magic Plant Departnt, what’s their ga? Just killed so magic plants, is it worthwhile to make such a fuss? Skill Departnt going to the Magic Plant Departnt to take plants for practice has been the rule for decades! Even their own dean acquiesced, but only I get splashed with trouble?"
Qian Qi sneered, "So you’re upset because you’re the only one splashed with trouble? No problem, tomorrow I’ll splash Dean Li too, how’s that for fairness?"
"You’re still talking back—?" Angered by Qian Qi’s retort, Fan Jinghai rolled up his sleeves ready to deal with Qian Qi.
"Oh my goodness!" The principal quickly intervened, now desperately seeking Qian Qi’s magic potion formula and couldn’t side with Fan Jinghai; he leaned close to Fan Jinghai’s ear and whispered sothing.
Gradually hearing the principal’s words, Fan Jinghai’s furious expression turned to confusion, "Is what you’re saying true?"
"It’s true." The principal replied quietly, "Otherwise, why would the students react so aggressively? I think..."
After listening, Fan Jinghai glanced at Qian Qi, "Your Magic Plant Departnt actually researched a one-second blood-stopping magic potion? And found a defense fruit capable of protecting against D-level damage?"
With a blank expression, Qian Qi raised a hand denying, "Stop it, our Magic Plant Departnt is full of useless folks; how could we possibly develop such a fantastical thing capable of saving the world?"
Principal: "..."
Fan Jinghai: "..."
Zhang Feng, Liang Yuting, and others: "Pfft~"
The laughter of the Magic Plant Departnt students made Fan Jinghai quite embarrassed, he cleared his throat, "I wasn’t aware of this matter beforehand, since your Magic Plant Departnt has made a contribution, then the matter of taking plants for practice..."
Qian Qi scratched her ear, evidently frustrated and not listening, she turned to her fellow Magic Plant Departnt students, "Students, disperse, disperse; ultimately, it’s us who are not considerate enough, we should proactively help Skill Departnt students improve their abilities more!"
She looked deeply pained and distressed, "Starting today, let’s stop planting those E-level magic plants we disdain for practice, all replaced with D-level ones!"
Suddenly drawn into the conversation, the Skill Departnt students: ???
Wait, what do you an by disdainful for practice?
Is your Magic Plant Departnt really that bold?
"Qian Qi’s right, what’s the point of planting E-level? From now on, let’s plant D-level!" Zhang Feng sneered, while leaving, he couldn’t help spitting at Xu Jing, "Trash, even if you practice using magic plants, you still only dare to practice with the ta ones, but the wild ones I plant, you don’t touch at all!"
These words were deeply cutting, making Xu Jing instantly angry and ashad, "Screw you! What’s the use of saying all this? In the end, you’re all just a bunch of useless eaters without Qian Qi; your Magic Plant Departnt is just a bunch of good-for-nothings living off others!"
Xu Jing’s words felt like a heavy stone, landing on the Magic Plant Departnt students’ hearts, silencing them all at once.
Xu Jing was right about one thing; their current strength relied solely on Qian Qi.
It was Qian Qi who taught them to cultivate magic plants; it was Qian Qi who could make magic potions; it was Qian Qi who found the defense fruit. They only borrowed Qian Qi’s montum to dare to stand up to the Skill Departnt College.
Without Qian Qi, they were nothing.
"See! Quiet now, eh? Weren’t you all so defiant just now?" Seeing Zhang Feng and the others grow soft, Xu Jing laughed triumphantly, raising his chin at Qian Qi, "Qian Qi, I don’t have anything against you personally. You being able to make blood-stopping magic potions is undeniably useful to us, and I admire you a lot."
"But these people..." Xu Jing pointed at the Magic Plant Departnt students, his eyes glinting, "They only hold you back, they are utterly worthless; from start to finish, they’re just freeloaders who don’t match you at all!"
"Also, you’re a Power Awakener, right?" Xu Jing often sparred with classmates and was familiar with the force of Power Awakeners; he tempted, "How about joining our Skill Departnt? Making magic potions—you can do it alone; you don’t need them at all! Co to our Skill Departnt, we’ll protect you. Isn’t that better than being with these useless Magic Plant Departnt folks?"
Xu Jing’s words made Zhang Feng and others’ faces darken even further; they hadn’t expected Xu Jing to recruit Qian Qi under such circumstances. The most distressing part was they couldn’t even argue back.
Indeed, their presence dragged Qian Qi down.
They had once felt that Qian Qi dragged them down; she sabotaged classmates’ magic plants, fought, led them to spend their ager money on hospital treatnt, thus delaying courses...
But sowhere along the way, they gradually ended up being the hindrance.
When Skill Departnt students ca to poach her, they didn’t even know how to respond to persuade her to stay.
Qian Qi halted her steps.
She watched her classmates unable to lift their heads, whose eyes were red with frustration at their own incompetence, and a sudden thought dawned on her.
Once, she had been looked down upon the sa way.
