"If we win, these medicinal herbs can transform the physiques of these children, allowing them to reach a higher level. If we lose, it's just me losing a part of my body, and these children still have a chance to grow. This wager is worth it."
Yu Xiaogang's figure instantly became towering, causing Flender and Qin Ming to exclaim in admiration, their eyes filled with reverence.
So Grandmaster had planned it this way! Truly self-sacrificing! Great!
They had always misunderstood Grandmaster!
"But... Grandmaster, it seems you've included us too. If we lose, we won't have to be dogs for Heart of Fire Academy, will we?" Ma Hongjun scratched his head, if he hadn't misunderstood the meaning.
"Ahem, you haven't signed a contract of servitude, don't be afraid."
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, coughed twice, and turned to look at Tang San: "Little San, come with me. You are my secret weapon for this competition, and there's something I need to discuss with you."
...
Just as Yu Xiaogang took Tang San for individual training, Qin Ming, Flender, and the others were filled with worry. Ye Lingling's expression was unusual, as if she was thinking about something, and finally spoke to Qin Ming:
"Teacher Qin Ming, I want to go back and talk to Yan Zi again."
"Lingling, Yan Zi can't come back. She's a traitor. It's useless for you to go. I didn't expect her to be such a person!" Yu Tianheng said irritably.
"That's not the reason. I don't know if you've noticed, but Yan Zi used to tell me that when she used Bi Lin Snake Venom, she vaguely felt a toxin eroding her body.
So her eyes, hair color, and lips were slowly turning bi-green, but this time when we met, her hair color, pupils, and lip color had all returned to normal colors, especially her lips were very red and vibrant. Only at the moment of using the toxin would a slight bi-green color tinge her skin."
"I want to go and understand what exactly is going on."
"You should have some understanding; my Nine Hearted Sea Tang also has a significant genetic problem..."
At this point, Ye Lingling's eyes became very melancholic. Only one person from each generation of Nine Hearted Sea Tang can survive, a single-line inheritance, which is a Spirit genetic defect with almost no solution.
More than a year ago, Xin had told her after a competition that he could solve this problem. Although she was very surprised, she naturally wouldn't believe it just because of a casual remark.
But seeing Dugu Yan's condition this time, a glimmer of hope couldn't help but rise in her heart.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Yu Tianheng, and the others' eyes became fierce, staring intently at Ye Lingling, like prey being hunted down. This gaze made her hair stand on end and filled her with inexplicable fear:
"No."
"If that Xin can solve your Spirit's problem, are you going to betray us too?"
