Zu An nodded: "Yes, I used to work in the Eastern Palace, and she was my superior. We saw each other all the time, so we were naturally familiar with each other."
Upon hearing the word "boss," Ji Xiaoxi visibly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but exclaim, "The Crown Princess is so beautiful."
Zuan laughed and said, "She is pretty, but our Xiaoxi is just as good-looking and well-behaved."
These words drew a sidelong glance from Ji Dengtu. What a glib-tongued fellow! Fortunately, he had taught Xiao Xi how to guard against these scumbags before, and she had become quite experienced in dealing with them over the years.
Ji Xiaoxi has been treating people's injuries for many years, so how could there only be good people around her? There are often some wicked people who try to deceive her with sweet words, but she easily gets rid of them.
This guy surnamed Zu's tricks aren't even as clever as those scumbags'. Xiao Xi will definitely see through him.
At this moment, Xiao Xi lowered her head, looking somewhat shy and embarrassed: "No, Brother Zu, you're just trying to make me happy."
Ji Dengtu, who had originally planned to watch his daughter tear her scumbag boyfriend apart, was left bewildered: "???"
Zu An cried out in protest: "How could I have deliberately tried to make you happy? If you don't believe me, ask them, Chang Tian, Mei Rou, do you think Xiao Xi is pretty?"
The two looked at each other strangely, wondering why the chief priest would ask them such a question.
However, she was still somewhat flattered: "Miss Ji is indeed very beautiful, even in our academy, she is one of the most beautiful."
This wasn't flattery of the chief priest; it was genuinely their opinion. Moreover, they had a very good impression of this beautiful and kind-hearted young doctor.
Ji Xiaoxi's cheeks flushed even more as she twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, unsure of how to respond.
The others exchanged knowing smiles. Her gentle and frail appearance did indeed remind them of their own younger sisters, and they felt a surge of affection for her.
They had unknowingly returned to the capital. The people covered the war priest's body with a cloth to prevent it from causing panic among the common people.
Then it was transported directly back to the back mountain of the academy. Jiang Luofu received the news and came out to greet her first. When she saw that Ji Xiaoxi was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over to hug her: "You scared me to death, Auntie. Don't go to pick herbs alone in the future, okay?"
"Auntie, I can't breathe." Ji Xiaoxi blushed and hurriedly broke free from her embrace. She glanced at her auntie's chest with lingering fear, thinking to herself, "Why am I not as well-developed as my auntie?"
Ji Dengtu said with some dissatisfaction, "If you're so worried about her, why don't you come to see her?"
He was usually terrified of his sister-in-law, but this time his daughter almost lost her life, and because of that kid Zuan's arrival, Xiao Xi had been clinging to him. If Jiang Luofu had come, Xiao Xi wouldn't have acted this way, so he rarely complained.
Jiang Luofu glanced guiltily at Zu An: "When I went out, I had some problems with the circulation of my internal energy, so I asked the Chief Priest to come and save you."
Zuan and she exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly: "We have fulfilled our mission."
Jiang Luofu looked somewhat uneasy and avoided eye contact.
Yan Xiangu asked with some concern, "Junior sister, is there something wrong with your cultivation?"
You have to understand that they are all from prestigious schools with solid foundations, so they are unlikely to have similar problems. But if they do, they are not minor issues.
As expected, even Ji Dengtu became worried.
"It's nothing, just a minor ailment. The chief priest has already taken a look at it for me," Jiang Luofu could only explain.
Zuan touched his nose: "Yeah, I have seen it."
Her skin is indeed quite fair.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Shen Xuzi, Qi Yaoguang, and several other teachers from the back mountain of the academy were also notified and rushed over, each casting curious glances at the mountain-like figure.
Zaun ripped the veil off the war priest's corpse, eliciting gasps of surprise.
He said in a deep voice, "Now that everyone is here, I will begin. This world has begun to change drastically..."
He then recounted the events that had occurred at Shadow Moon Lake to the group. Qi Yaoguang, who had been happily swinging her legs on a tree branch, became serious and stopped laughing and joking as usual.
"The heavy responsibility of saving the world now rests on your shoulders. Master Yan will explain the specifics to you later," Zu An said in a deep voice.
"Saving the world is our inescapable duty!"
"Haha, this is much more interesting! Teaching in the back mountains every day used to be so boring."
"I really want to have a good fight with those demons!"
...
Hearing that the group wasn't intimidated, but instead showed great fighting spirit, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. The old priest had taken in some good disciples.
The group then began to discuss specific countermeasures, while Ji Dengtu led Xiao Xi, Mei Rou, and others to rest and heal their injuries.
Zu An returned to his room, closed the doors and windows, and called Mi Li out: "Aren't you going to say something to me?"
