The dignified head disciple of the Megrez Peak of the Big Dipper Seven Peaks wanted to find two newcomers who had entered the academy less than ten days ago as helpers. Nobody would believe this. From this, it could be seen how helpless Jin Qi was to take this step.
The Megrez Peak's Medicinal Kitchen was an absolutely important place in the North Style Academy. It was not inferior to Dubhe Peak's Dubhe Building or Phecda Star's Lu Cuntang. To be able to be chosen to enter these important places, it was not enough to just have the ability or connections. Every one of them had gone through countless tests, whether overt or covert, before finally being entrusted with this important task.
In the end, even such a group of people were infiltrated. This enemy standing in the dark had strong methods and deep schemes. Jin Qi did not dare to be careless. He could not easily trust anyone. Even if it was his most familiar friend, or his most respected teacher, he did not tell them frankly. Under this kind of background, the only ones who could still maintain their innocence were the newcomers. The newcomers who had entered the North Style Academy less than ten days ago.
Even the newcomers, Jin Qi would suspect if they also entered the North Style Academy with this kind of infiltration mission.
He did not have time to investigate them one by one. The first people he thought of were Lu Ping and Zi Mu. After all, the two of them had personally experienced last night's incident. Without Lu Ping's words, even if Little Thistle and Green Thorn were reversed, nobody would have noticed.
So he borrowed the opportunity of the lecture to come in contact with the two of them.
The two's attitude made Jin Qi a little disappointed.
If Zi Mu was fearful because of his lack of strength, he could still think of it. But Lu Ping's attitude of not taking the terrifying topic of "overturning the North Style Academy" to heart was something he did not expect at all.
Indeed, for a newcomer to the academy, they would normally need some time to build up their relationship. But the problem was, this was the North Style Academy, a place everyone yearned for. For such an existence to enter the academy, the intense pride and arrogance was enough to make people feel a strong sense of belonging.
But Lu Ping seemed to be an exception.
This made Jin Qi unable to continue with the speech he had prepared. For a person who did not care about the North Style Academy, how could he convince him to put his life on the line for the safety of the academy?
Jin Qi became silent. But Lu Ping opened his mouth instead.
"What do you want us to do?" He asked.
Do what?
Jin Qi had actually thought about this problem before.
But now, he didn't want and didn't dare to hand over any mission to a person who didn't care about the survival of the North Style Academy.
"Take me to the fifth courtyard." Jin Qi suddenly ended the previous topic. Suddenly, he had the two of them continue to lead the way.
Lu Ping didn't say much and walked away. On the other hand, Zi Mu was a little apprehensive. He knew that he and Lu Ping had already come into contact with a certain secret, but the two of them did not seem to be cooperating. Then, the two of them …
In the end, Zi Mu did not dare to do anything based on his wild guesses. He could only follow Lu Ping anxiously. The three of them walked out of the sea of flowers and soon arrived at the fifth courtyard. Along the way, Jin Qi did not say another word.
The doors of the five courtyards were wide open. Huo Ying was sitting on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, just like yesterday. The sun was shining brightly, but he didn't seem to feel it at all. His eyes were slightly closed, and he looked like he was asleep. But as soon as the three of them approached the courtyard gate, his eyes immediately opened.
Seeing that it was Jin Qi, Huo Ying straightened her body slightly and got into a welcoming posture.
"Long time no see."
"Long time no see."
"Have you taken the medicine?"
The former head disciple of Alioth Peak was greeting the head disciple of Megrez Peak, but Lu Ping interrupted.
"Not yet." Huo Ying said indifferently. "Jin Qi, you brought it just in time. Is this prescription suitable? Help me take a look. "
When Jin Qi heard this, he immediately understood that Huo Ying already knew something. Otherwise, Huo Ying wouldn't have given the prescription that Yan Ge prescribed to him. How could the former head disciple of Alioth Peak let Megrez Peak ruin the reputation of the disciples of Alioth Peak?
"Senior brother Huo Ying, please give me your left hand." As Jin Qi spoke, he felt the pulse of Huo Ying's left wrist. While checking Huo Ying's condition, he confirmed the prescription that Yan Ge prescribed. Most of the time, his thoughts revolved around the two medicines, Little Thistle and Green Thorn.
This pulse lasted for a long time before Jin Qi retracted his hand.
"How is it?" Huo Ying asked.
"There's no problem with the medicine." Jin Qi said.
"Looking at your expression, you seem a little disappointed?" Huo Ying said.
"Really? How could that be? "Jin Qi smiled. He didn't explain further. Because when he found that there was no problem with the prescription, he was indeed a little disappointed. Of course, this didn't mean that he wanted to see someone harm Huo Ying. However, if this was indeed the case, then Huo Ying would be a breakthrough point, and they would be able to harm Huo Ying. From the action of harming Huo Ying, perhaps he could deduce the intention of the other party.
But there was no problem with the prescription, even if Little Thistle became Green Thorn, it wouldn't be a big problem. This was the judgment that Jin Qi had last night. He came to personally contact Huo Ying because he wanted to confirm based on the actual condition. Now it seemed that it was indeed so. Whether it was Little Thistle or Green Thorn. To Huo Ying, it would only be beneficial and not harmful.
Then there must be another reason for the two medicines to be mixed. Yan Ge who gave Huo Ying the wrong medicine was just a coincidence. As for the other plot, after such a small incident, it was likely that it would not be exposed again.
Little Thistle … Green Thorn …
The two medicines being mixed was the only clue. Jin Qi repeatedly pondered, and actually stood in the fifth courtyard in a daze. Until Huo Ying suddenly spoke.
"It seems that you are under a lot of pressure because of the wrong medicine this time."
Making the wrong medicine was, of course, a very serious mistake for the Medicinal Kitchen. But there was a huge difference in the degree of the mistake between unintentional and intentional. So when he saw Jin Qi appear outside the door, Huo Ying had already realized that Zi Mu's carelessness last night might not be a simple matter. So he took the initiative to let Jin Qi check. Looking at him thinking hard, Huo Ying was completely sure that there was a hidden reason for making the wrong medicine this time.
"The Medicinal Kitchen can't tolerate any mistakes." Jin Qi replied.
"Then you have to be more careful in the future." Huo Ying said indifferently.
"Of course." Jin Qi replied. Just when he was thinking, he finally had a plan. Originally, he was reluctant to use this method, but now he might have to use it. At that moment, a force of spirit flew towards the five academies. Jin Qi and Huo Ying sensed it immediately. They looked up and saw a paper pigeon flying down from the sky. Jin Qi stretched out his right hand, and the paper pigeon landed on his palm.
The ability to send messages was not a big deal in the North Style Academy. But the shape of the paper pigeon was a symbol of important information. Without any special technique, the contents of the folded paper pigeon could not be seen casually.
Jin Qi exerted his soul power and quickly opened the paper pigeon. With just a glance at the words inside, he was stunned.
Three people's names were written in the paper pigeon. The names of the three students who were on duty for the first three days of the Medicinal Kitchen.
And now, the three of them were dead.
A bone-chilling cold rose from the bottom of Jin Qi's heart. This opponent was far more terrifying than he thought.
