Chapter 600 - 221: Her Enemies Are Everywhere in the Divine Martial Realm (Part 3)

The staff member sincerely suggested to her, "In my opinion, Nanmu Peak and Broken Mountain Peak are both pretty good choices, you..."

Ying Jing suddenly said, "I heard that Elder Tan Nan recently retired and returned to Cattle Hump. Elder Tan Nan has never taken a disciple in his life, why not just send her to Cattle Hump."

The staff member looked at Ying Jing in surprise.

Indeed, Elder Tan Nan has returned to Cattle Hump, but he is an eccentric old man, living over a hundred years without taking any disciples, finding this one unworthy, that one lacking.

Sending Xu Xingguang to Cattle Hump is like letting her grow old and die there.

Could it be that Ying Jing has a grudge against this Xu Xingguang?

Xu Xingguang suddenly asked, "How powerful is Elder Tan Nan?"

The staff member truthfully replied, "His strength is indisputable, known throughout Medicine King City as a formidable elder, but his personality is quite peculiar."

Hearing that Elder Tan Nan is strong, Xu Xingguang said, "Then I’ll go to Cattle Hump."

The staff member hesitated to say more, but meeting Ying Jing’s gaze, he closed his mouth.

"Alright then."

After settling their destinations, Ying Jing considered the task accomplished, handing three apprenticeship invitations to Xu Xingguang and the others, giving a word of caution: "Take these apprenticeship invitations, someone will escort you to your apprenticeship places, keep them safe and don’t lose them."

"Only by successfully becoming an apprentice and having your teacher sign the invitation, will you qualify to enter the Medical College of the three great capitals to study."

"Understood?"

Ying Zhongmei nodded, Ying Huai and Xu Xingguang either looked at the ground or the sky, ignoring her.

Ying Jing didn’t get upset, before leaving, she glanced at Xu Xingguang and said with a mocking smile, "Xu Xingguang, here, you’re just a small intern on Cattle Hump, not Lady Captain."

"Let’s see how long you can act so proud."

Xu Xingguang scratched her ear, "Noisy."

"You!" Ying Jing thought of something, her mood improved, "I wish you all a bright future!"

She snorted and walked away.

Ying Zhongmei couldn’t understand the contents of the apprenticeship invitation, nor comprehend the status of Qingwu Peak among the 12 Peaks, but given her age, she guessed it would be hard to stand out in the Divine Martial Realm.

With the impending farewell, Ying Zhongmei felt a bit uneasy, starting to believe the things Ying Jing said earlier. "Going to Qingwu Peak, even if I am willing to study earnestly, would it be hard to endure these three years and return to the Mortal World?"

She suspected why those seniors who went to the Divine Martial Realm never returned to the Mortal World.

It’s likely because they made mistakes and were disposed of as ’trash’ by the people of the Divine Martial Realm.

Ying Huai listened to Ying Zhongmei and felt somewhat uncomfortable inside, wanting to comfort her but realizing it was of no use.

Xu Xingguang looked at Ying Zhongmei for a moment, then said, "In this cannibalistic place, there are only two ways to survive."

Ying Zhongmei listened intently.

Xu Xingguang said, "Either stomp all those who bully you beneath your feet, or strive to be invisible, avoid drawing any attention."

She earnestly advised Ying Zhongmei, "I don’t think you’re suited for the first option."

Ying Zhongmei acknowledged Xu Xingguang’s honesty, thought for a moment, then said, "I understand, I’ll try my best to lower my presence, and once the three years are up, return to the Mortal World."

Ying Zhongmei patted Ying Huai’s head, "Ying Huai, the place you’re going to should be a good one, I wish you success in your studies, dear."

"Thank you."

Ying Zhongmei looked at Xu Xingguang, realizing she needed no comfort, said goodbye and followed the staff to report to Qingwu Peak.

Ying Huai frowned, looking up at Xu Xingguang, "Will I be treated like trash and beaten to death?"

"Being able to stay within Medicine King City to study shows that your talent is quite notable even in the Ying Family. Study hard, and when you’re outstanding enough, no one will underestimate you."

"Sister Xingguang." Ying Huai was almost in tears, holding onto Xu Xingguang, his voice choked, "I’m a little scared."

"Scared of what? Think of those kids who were injected with the mutated vaccine, living in fear every day. Count yourself much luckier."

Ying Huai immediately stopped being dramatic. "Sister Xingguang, I’m leaving now."

"Mm, goodbye."

Seeing Ying Huai off, Xu Xingguang followed the staff member as well.

Medicine King City lies at the northernmost end of the Medicine King Mountain Range, Qingwu Peak not far from it, also in the north. However, Cattle Hump is the southernmost peak among the 12 Peaks, located between Golden Gate City and Black Port City.
