Dr. Li tried to use his spiritual power to resist, but something was binding him, preventing any movement. He couldn’t budge an inch or tap into his spiritual power.
Yet, the pain refused to subside. The agony of the blades cutting into his body and head was so unbearable that he wished for death to take him instantly.
The cute girl who often brought him spiritual tea chuckled and teased, “Dr. Li, is the spiritual tea I bring you every day to your liking? Hehe, you call yourself a doctor, yet you can’t even tell the tea is spiked. You’re even more clueless than a pig!”
Jun Hongbo spoke calmly, his tone unhurried, “Dr. Li, why are you so anxious? We’re just studying medicine from you. Once we’ve thoroughly researched it, we’ll surely cure you. Before long, you’ll be up and about, as lively as ever.”
Dr. Li held his head and whimpered in pain, “Elder Yu, this is supposed to be Heavenly Medical Valley. How can such monsters be allowed to exist here? Ugh… I can’t take it anymore! I need to leave—right now! I can’t stay in this hellish academy any longer!”
Elder Yu opened his mouth, as if to persuade Dr. Li to stay and think it over. But when he saw the sheer terror on Dr. Li’s face, the words stuck in his throat. How could he say anything when the man was so clearly shaken to his core?
“Dr. Li, why don’t you go back and rest for a few days? When you return, I’ll arrange for you to teach another class. Or, if you’d prefer, you can take up a position at the Pill Department for a while.”
“Alright! I’ll go to the Pill Department! Please transfer me there!” Dr. Li immediately nodded, his face filled with urgency.
“However, with Dr. Li leaving, the position of instructor for Class Three in the Water Medicine Department will be vacant. We can’t find a new instructor right away, so I’m wondering if any of you would be willing to step in?”
As soon as Elder Yu spoke, all the doctors in the room, including Wen Jiaquan, lowered their heads in unison. At that moment, each of them wished they could just disappear into thin air.
Those who met Elder Yu’s gaze instantly sprang up, like cats with their fur standing on end. One of them hurriedly spoke, “The classes I’m already responsible for are more than enough. I can’t possibly take on another! Elder Yu, please find someone else!”
The doctors all began to push away the role, each one eager to avoid taking on the hot potato. No one was willing to step up for the task.
Suddenly, Mei Shuhai’s voice rang out. “Elder Yu, why bother recruiting a new instructor? Didn’t we just have a new one report here today? All the current instructors already have their classes to manage, so they can’t take on Class 3 in Water Medicine. But this new arrival, isn’t he the perfect fit to fill the vacancy?”
Elder Yu was startled and then looked at Xi Yue.
He had been so preoccupied with Dr. Li’s situation that he had completely forgotten about Xi Yue’s arrival today. On top of that, Xi Yue was so young and had quietly stood off to the side, making it hard for him to associate Xi Yue with the role of an instructor.
When Mei Shuhai said this, his eyes lit up.
Wen Jiaquan became anxious upon hearing this, and immediately stepped forward and said, “Mei Shuhai, what do you mean?”
Mei Shuhai snickered. “Dr. Wen, why the panic? Am I wrong? Besides, didn’t you mention that Dr. Xi is exceptionally talented? If he’s truly as skilled as you say, then shouldn’t he be able to handle this responsibility?”
“Or how about you let everyone weigh in and see if I’m right?”
The other doctors in the room, fearing the responsibility of taking on Class 3 in Water Medicine, quickly nodded in agreement.
“Dr. Mei is right. I heard that Xi Yue is the youngest Divine Doctor in history, so her skills must be exceptional! I believe there’s no one better suited to handle the responsibility of teaching Class 3 in Water Medicine than Doctor Xi.”
“Exactly! We all trust Dr. Xi. And besides, we already have so many students to teach, we really can’t take on any more!”
Wen Jiaquan’s face turned red with anger as he pointed at Mei Shuhai. “You… you’re just trying to set Xi Yue up for failure!”
