Just as Zhao Xi was about to defend herself, she heard Wu Die shout, "It's not her fault, it has nothing to do with her!"

Wu Die insisted on staying at the Five Spirits Hall to learn skills from Zhao Xi. Of course, she wouldn't let the people of Xinghua Valley smear her. While shouting, she took out a golden needle and casually pricked herself a few times before swallowing a pill.

In the blink of an eye, she was enveloped in a layer of aquamarine spiritual energy, her breathing became much smoother, and her face regained its color. She then changed her tune, saying, "No, it was indeed because of her, but she didn't force me! I just wanted to come here! My grandfather instilled these medical skills in me, as did my cultivation. To be the Valley Master's good granddaughter, I've been studying medicine since I opened my eyes. Going out to practice medicine is just to promote the reputation of Apricot Blossom Valley. Everyone will call me the Little Fairy Doctor of Apricot Blossom Valley, but who will remember my name or know my hobbies besides medicine? Does my path of cultivation have to be tied to the title of Fairy Doctor?"

Everyone was stunned by her rapid healing methods and couldn't help but secretly admire the medical fairy of Apricot Blossom Valley for her skill.

The Valley Master was furious with her, and the other elders pointed and whispered, trying to reprimand her.

Some people continued to smear Zhao Xixiang, claiming that she was unknowingly bewitched by Zhao Xixiang.

Zhao Xi thought that one person could not withstand the accusations of many, and these slanders were baseless, so she simply watched coldly, took out the tea set, sat down next to him, brewed tea, and shared it with Lin Che. Luo Haiqing also came to ask for a cup.

The cultivators of the Five Spirits Hall, unwilling to see their leader wronged, came in full force to engage in a verbal battle with them, hurling insults at each other face-to-face in the hall.

"Our leader has never bullied her. That day, she overestimated herself and tried to compete with Zhao Xi in making medicinal cuisine, and she even lost to our leader!"

Apricot Blossom Valley: "How could our Immortal Healer possibly lose to a mortal?"

A busybody remarked, "That day, it was Little Fairy Doctor who took the initiative to admit defeat!"

The rogue cultivator said, "If we're talking about taste, the Alliance Leader's cooking is definitely the best!"

The people in Xinghua Valley were already dizzy from listening.

One moment he's the head of the kindergarten, the next he's the head of a hall, and then he becomes the leader of an alliance, but all of these refer to this mortal.

"What do you think?" Lin Che watched the farce quietly, lifting a corner of his veil and sipping his tea.

Zhao Xi thought, "I don't care. I want to gather resources from the immortal realm and become a celebrity. There's always a lot of attention that comes with it. I can only say that this Little Fairy Doctor has some insight."

The Five Spirits Hall currently has nothing, but once the alliance is established and the sects of the lower immortal realm are united, it will become a bustling and prosperous place.

She had cultivation techniques, magical treasures, and all sorts of spiritual minerals and materials to trade here. Although she didn't join because of this, she was undeniably lucky.

As long as she can persuade her relatives, Zhao Xixiang will not refuse her.

After the group had finished arguing, the topic shifted from Zhao Xi thinking he was just an ordinary person to the abilities of Xinghua Valley, and Zhao Xi wanted to know when to stop.

She stood up: "Valley Master, please come to the side hall for a gathering."

Kang Dong snorted, his face saying "I'd like to see what you have to say," and followed after him.

The group waited in the hall, straining their senses and listening intently, trying to catch any sounds coming from the other side of the silence barrier.

Some people in Xinghua Valley hoped that the Valley Master would teach this mortal a lesson, while others worried that the Valley Master might kill the mortal in the heat of the moment.

The people of the Five Spirits Hall hoped that Zhao Xi would give the Valley Master a good scolding and let them know how powerful the Five Spirits Hall was.

However, a moment later.

The two of them came out.

Valley Master Kang smiled broadly and cupped his hands in greeting to Zhao Xi: "Alright, then I'll leave it to the Alliance Leader. I'll also entrust my granddaughter to the Alliance Leader's care."

Zhao Xi wanted to return the favor: "It's no problem. Miss Wu Die is intelligent and insightful, with a high level of comprehension. She will definitely maintain her original aspiration and continue to study medicine. This is all thanks to the Valley Master's guidance and cultivation."

Kang Dong was extremely proud, so he followed Luo Haiqing to the table, left a spiritual mark, and led all the people of Xinghua Valley to join the alliance.

The entire hall fell silent as the onlookers exchanged bewildered glances. Even the people from Apricot Blossom Valley were puzzled as to what had happened.

Wu Die stared in disbelief, pointing at Zhao Xi and thinking, "Did you drug the Valley Master?!"

Zhao Xi glanced at her, chuckled softly, and did not answer her question.

She turned to face the people from Xinghua Valley, cupped her hands in greeting, and said, "Thank you all for making the trip. If you don't mind, you can go and enjoy the long street. All allies of my alliance will receive a 10% discount at all shops on the long street."

Even so, the elders of Apricot Blossom Valley were still completely bewildered. The Valley Master led the way towards the teahouse and meditation room on the main street, and they followed.

The others in the Five Spirits Hall were just as confused as Wu Die, but Zhao Xi didn't explain to anyone and took Lin Che back to the Hundred Beasts Garden.

*

Linglu lacked spiritual energy in the Wind and Thunder Grassland, so the Great Azure Phoenix specially sealed his primordial spirit and consciousness to protect him.

At that time, his mind was in a daze, and he didn't understand anything.

After arriving at the Beast Garden, Tongyue took great care of him, giving him all the best things. After several days of this adjustment, the restrictions on his body were broken, and he returned to his best condition.

After regaining her intelligence, Linglu recalled everything her mother had gone through and her life on the Wind and Thunder Grassland.

He also realized what the departure of the Great Blue Phoenix meant.

I'm so sad...

But life goes on.

Fortunately, this is the Beast Garden, where many monsters have had similar experiences to him.

It seems that things will be better from now on.

Linglu inherited her mother's strong will. After a few days of depression, she became a tutor at the Hundred Beasts Garden.

He spends two quarters of an hour each day teaching the bewildered monsters to count, which helps develop their brains and allows them to crystallize sooner. This is also a way for him to repay the headmistress and everyone else.

But he discovered a very stupid kid.

Even babies just a few days old can be counted, but Kuku can't.

Linglu took Kuku back to her room, placed the Vermilion Fruit on the table, hugged him with her still feathered arms, held Kuku's pangolin paws, and coaxed him gently: "Kuku, don't rush, count slowly. I won't limit your time now, don't rush~ Every time you count one, put it aside, so you won't get it mixed up."

Cool nodded and used its paws to sweep the counted vermilion fruits aside.

When I got to the fourth one, my mind went blank again.

The little pangolin spirit let out a howling sound and frantically swept the vermilion fruit on the table onto the ground.

The red fruits fell to the ground with a thud, rolling all over the place, some even bursting open.

"Aww!"

He looked down at the mess on the ground, squirming more restlessly in Linglu's arms, letting out low growls that were hard to understand.

Monsters with spiritual roots can speak, but Kuku cannot.

He seems to be resisting becoming a demon cultivator.
