Chapter 451 - Karma (2)

Shen Yanxiao acted surprised for a moment and looked at Ouyang Huanyu doubtfully. “Competition? But I did not use any special potions. Were there any problems?”

Before she could finish her sentence, Fang Qiu had jumped out to yell at her.

“Stop with your acting! I cannot believe how a brat like you could be so evil-hearted at such a young age. You even schemed to get them killed! You had better hand over the antidote right now!” Fang Qiu shouted in an uncontrollable rage.

Shen Yanxiao blinked her eyes innocently and spoke with hesitance, “Evil-hearted? Teacher, what do you mean by that? Everyone saw the competition yesterday, and I had not done anything against the rules. Everything I did was in accordance with the rules.”

“As for the antidote, I never said that I would not hand it over. Before I could do that, though, Great Master Pu Lisi had taken my seniors away. Even if I wanted to deliver the antidote, it was already too late,” Shen Yanxiao said as honestly as she could.

Fang Qiu felt so provoked by Shen Yanxiao that he was choked with anger. She was right, Pu Lisi had told them to leave, and he also did not ask for the antidote. Everything looked as if Shen Yanxiao had nothing to do with it. It was as if that was the result of Pu Lisi’s pride.

Even so, how would he dare to question Pu Lisi?

“Enough with trying to place blame! Shen Jue, give the formula to Fang Qiu so that he can prepare the antidote to save them,” Ouyang Huanyu said as he tried to be the mediator.

Fang Qiu gritted his teeth and did not say anything else.

Shen Yanxiao handed two bottles of antidote to Fang Qiu without any hint of hesitation.

Shen Yanxiao had been so cooperative that the three animals felt there was something fishy about it!

Would Shen Yanxiao be so kind-hearted to give the antidote away for free?

What a joke!

However, the three friends stood still and continued to watch the show.

After Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan drank the antidote, nothing unusual happened. However, when Ye Qing and the Priest Division’s head checked their condition, they discovered that the collision in their meridians had weakened.

“This antidote is real,” Ye Qing said as he smiled.

Fang Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yanxiao’s friends were somewhat confused. When had the brat become so kind-hearted?

“How is Luo Fan’s current condition?” Fang Qiu asked in anxiousness.

“His condition has stabilized, and it’s no longer life-threatening. However… I’m afraid he can no longer be a herbalist,” Ye Qing said.

“What did you say?” Fang Qiu was frozen to the spot.

“Their meridians are severely damaged, and even though they had drunk the antidote, it could only prevent their condition from deteriorating. It would not reverse the damages that had already been done.” Ye Qing sighed helplessly. He had not interfered in worldly affairs for many years, but he knew that Shangguan Xiao and Luo Fan were talented herbalists. Unfortunately, it looked like they could not continue on the path any longer.

Even though herbalists did not require battle aura and magic like the other professions, they would need to have perceptive five senses and intense mental energy. Shangguan Xiao and Luo fan’s meridians had been wrecked beyond repair, and their mental energy had almost been depleted. It did not look like there was any hope for recovery.

Fang Qiu looked at Luo Fan in astonishment. Ye Qing’s words were like thunderbolts in a clear sky that separated his body and soul.

A super-genius in herbalism had to give up potions in the future?
