"Sister Yunxiao, you must not underestimate Lan Qinghuan. She has remained calm and kept a low profile for all these years, so she must have extraordinary strengths. You must be careful; even if teachers Situ, Dongfang, and Murong joined forces, they wouldn't be her match. Fenger isn't trying to boost others' prestige while lowering our own, but it's probably best if you keep this Spirit Recovery Pill with you." Although Lan Yunxiao accepted the Spirit Recovery Pill, she shoved it straight into her Storage Ring. Judging from the haughty and disdainful expression on her face, she had no intention of using it.
That simply wouldn't do; that pill was the most crucial part of her plan. To ensure that Lan Yunxiao would actually take the Spirit Recovery Pill, Lan Fengxiao exaggerated Lan Qinghuan's formidable abilities with plenty of fabricated embellishments. Since she hadn't been present at the time, she naturally hadn't witnessed Lan Qinghuan turning the Apothecary Academy upside down. Murong Yingyue would certainly never let students find out about being slapped in the face, so the entire story was her own invention—yet it happened to be completely accurate.
"Mhm, I'll be careful. Let's head to the arena. I wonder if Lan Qinghuan will even dare to show up and accept the challenge..." Lan Yunxiao agreed verbally, but instead of taking out the Spirit Recovery Pill as Lan Fengxiao suggested, she tucked it away into the hidden clasp of her sleeve.
