Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist - Chapter 246

“Of course! If this junior can help Senior Sister in any way then I’m more than happy to comply.”

Li Ming answered in a polite tone. She was actually interested to know exactly what those three elders had planned for her.

“Alright then! Since Junior sister is ready to help us then we would like to ask you to accompany my group on a short trip.” The girl said with even more softly than possible.

“A trip?” Li Ming asked as she eyed the rest of the members of the group.

There were four girls and three boys in total, including the girl who had been talking since the very starting.

She could see the excitement that they were trying to hide, the excitement of playing with her.

A small twitch appeared on Li Ming’s lips as she pitied the poor teenagers in front of her who were being used by their teachers in vain.

“As you can, I and my group is heading to the fourth circle of the Medical Sect Island. The fourth circle is not the most dangerous part of the island but it still has many traps and spirit beasts hiding. We need some spiritual herbs but unfortunately, none of us is good in combat. If Junior sister won’t mind, then can you please accompany us. We heard that your martial arts skills are very top-notch.”

The girl gave her best to appear completely innocent and sincere as she looked at Li Ming with hopeful eyes.

It immediately dawned on Li Ming that the group of disciples of the Medical Sect and those three elders had formed a perfect plan to embarrass her in front of the entire Academy.

How could she not know exactly how dangerous the Medical Sect’s Island was?

Just like the Array Sect’s Island, the Medical Sect’s Island was also divided into five circles.

The outermost circle, or simply the fifth circle, was the region that was used during the second stage of the entrance exams. It was the safest region of the entire island.

The fourth circle of the Medical Sect’s Island was probably not the scariest and most dangerous part of the island but if someone from the other sects with no knowledge about spiritual herbs and poisons would enter the fourth circle, they sure would end up in a mess.

And as one kept moving towards the innermost part of the island, meaning the first circle, they would find the level of danger increasing with each step they would put forward.

Li Ming was about to answer when suddenly she was cut off by the girl even before she could speak a single word.

“Junior sister, you don’t have to worry about the poisonous herbs that are present on the island. As long as you will stay with us, we will make sure that you are safe from those plants. All you have to do is to keep your eyes on the other dangers that would be coming towards us on this trip.”

Li Ming was silent for a few minutes as she appeared deep in her thoughts. After the silence of a few minutes, she finally let out a small sigh as she nodded her head.

“Alright! It’s not like I’ve anything else to do for the time being. I can use this time for some good cause. Lead the way please!”

The glow of a little victory that immediately appeared for a mere second in the eyes of the girl was not hidden from Li Ming.

A few moments later, she was walking behind the group that was heading towards the Medical Sect that was situated at the very end of the West coast of the main Guixian Island.

They made their way towards the teleportation array that sent them right to the outskirts of the fourth circle of the Medical Sect’s Island.

“What if we disturbed the disciples who are going through the second stage of the exam?” Li Ming asked the girl as they started moving towards the stream that separated the fifth and the fourth circles.

“Don’t worry. As long as we stayed away from the fifth circle, we won’t create any problems for them. Here, we are about to enter the fourth circle.” The girl, who was actually known as Miss Wu Ying, replied as she once again took the lead and prepared to cross the stream.

These seven teenagers were the third year disciples of the High Medical Sect of the Academy and all were between eighteen to twenty years old.

Every Sect was divided into two stages – Lower Sect and Higher Sect which were further dived into outer and inner sects.

Children below the age of fifteen years were disciples of the Lower Sects while those over fifteen years of age fell under the command of the Higher Sects.

Only very rare exceptions were present when someone below the age of fifteen years had made their way into the Higher Sects.

The minimum age required to join the Academy was ten years. However, one could stay as a disciple under the Guixian Academy for hundreds of years if they want.

Li Ming silently followed behind the group of medical sect’s disciples as she took in the changes that distinguished the fourth circle from the fifth one.

Somehow she got too occupied in observing her surroundings that she completely missed the signals that the seven members of the group exchanged among themselves.

By the time Li Ming’s attention returned on them, they were busy in taking out baskets from their spatial rings to collect the herbs.

Miss Wu Ying took out a little porcelain bottle from her spatial ring and passed small peach-colored pills to her companions.

“Junior sister Li, this is a spiritual pill that will keep your body fragrance closed in a bubble for the next three hours. It’s a safety measure to keep the hidden beasts of the forest from finding out about our presence.” Wu Ying said as she passed the pill.

Li Ming looked at the pill for a few seconds and then her eyes took in the smiling face of Miss Wu. She slowly nodded her head before gulping down the pill.

After everyone ate those peach-colored pills, the group started their journey of finding the spiritual herbs that they were looking for.

The drama was about to start!
