“Huft!” Zhao Jun sighed softly.
Every breath that came out of his mouth was always accompanied by a throbbing pain in his head. While his mind was now filled with the question of the Medicinal King Baili Cheng earlier.
Honestly speaking, Zhao Jun was quite distressed by how critical their thoughts were all towards him. It felt like even Zhao Jun was insecure.
He was worried that his true identity could be easily guessed by them, even though they did not believe what reincarnation was.
“No matter if it was Baili Yan or her father, they were both equally critical of something. Even all my gestures none of them escaped their sight.”
Zhao Jun also felt that perhaps, he could deceive everyone. But not with the Medicinal King Baili Cheng and his daughter—Baili Yan. These two people were too hard to be fooled.
“Will they continue to investigate my background? But isn't there nothing they can get from there? The identity of the owner of this original body was really very trivial and low. Supposedly, they won't get anything ‘kan?”
With a long sigh, Zhao Jun shook his head in order to repel the tiredness that began to hit once again.
Amidst the bustling atmosphere in the dawn academy today, Zhao Jun chose to remain seated quietly on the roof of his dorm room without any intention of descending any time soon.
His two eyes were still looking straight at the view of the sky in the eastern horizon. The dark blue color began to be replaced with a faint bright blue color along with a golden yellow light from the sun.
***
Day after day passed quickly.
Ever since the night that his practice was witnessed by the Medicinal King Baili Cheng, Zhao Jun had no interest in training his swordsmanship and martial arts in the academy grounds.
He chose to conduct his training openly in the wild, precisely in the bamboo forest that was behind the academy area.
Although it was a bit creepy at first, but Zhao Jun ended up getting used to training there alone every midnight until the early hours of the morning.
Then when dawn comes and the sun begins to show itself, he will return to the dormitory to start doing his regular activities, which is nothing but work!
Yep.
Zhao Jun was indeed a rough worker as well as a disciple of this Divine Medicine Palace Academy.
After all, the start he came from was due to Baili Yan's offer. He was offered to work as a rough job at the academy, such as cleaning and so on.
And the reason he agreed was because he indeed wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to retrain his medical knowledge so as not to be too exact with the medical science of Physician Genius Zhao.
If he were to work in this King Medicine Academy, then it was certain that he would be able to obtain new medicine that would greatly help him in the future. In addition, he also needed a lot of money to buy rare herbal plants to make Bone and Blood Cleansing Pills.
Working and studying in this King Medicine Academy was a golden opportunity that Zhao Jun could not possibly miss!
“Hei, Xiao Jun!”
The familiar cry that came to Zhao Jun's ears while he was moving dozens of worn books from the academy's library into the warehouse beside the library building made his premonition turn unpleasant.
Be that rather than him turning his head and responding to it, he chose to stay focused on his work.
However, the person who summoned him just now did not intend to leave immediately after being ignored by Zhao Jun. This person even stepped his feet towards the direction Zhao Jun was now at.
“Yo! How dare you ignore me, Poor Youth?” his sarcophagus then, right after he stood near Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun let out a deep breath in his heart.
As someone who had gone through all sorts of life's salt acid and bitter sweetness of socializing with others in his past life, being in conflict with someone like Wang Li was the least important thing in his life.
He wanted to kick this guy out and not come back to bother him.
Merely, Wang Li was a popular disciple of this Academy. His talent and intelligence in the field of medicine, which was then supported by the thin martial arts he had, made him a prima donna here.
And one thing to know is, this Wang Li is the 'boss' or 'limit' of the brutes who previously ganged himself on the market the other day. His behavior, no better than theirs!
“Go, I'm busy!” zhao Jun's reply tried to chase him away, continuously lifting and moving the worn books before him into the cardboard boxes to be taken to the warehouse.
However, Zhao Jun's words were nothing more than the hum of mosquitoes in Wang Li's ears. He didn't pay attention to it at all.
Wang Li who brought many people behind him—most of them were clumsy the other day—kini came forward and grabbed Zhao Jun's collar, forcing him to face off against him.
“Hmph! Don't you think, just because Princess Baili brought you here, you can then do as you please!” hissing Wang Li while lifting Zhao Jun's collar made Zhao Jun have to tiptoe.
The gap in height and stature between the two of them made Zhao Jun able to be easily picked up by Wang Li. Moreover, Wang Li also had sufficient spiritual strength. Things like this, were trivial to him.
“Lease!” Zhao Jun spoke firmly.
Unfortunately, what greeted him was Wang Li's annoying expression, followed by laughter from his sneers back there.
“Ha-ha-ha! What did you say? Last?” Wang Li sneered while smiling coldly, looking condescending. One of his eyebrows raised.
“Good. I'll let you go, Loser.”
Zhao Jun narrowed. He knew that Wang Li would not be able to let go so easily. There must be something he wants from her.
“Then let go,” timbal Zhao Jun tried to provoke Wang Li's original intentions.
Wang Li laughed lowly. Instead of releasing Zhao Jun, he actually raised him higher with the help of his spiritual power.
“Yo! I'm not done talking, Dad! I will indeed let you go, but after you agree to prostrate to me, beg me to forgive and release you.”
After Wang Li said that, laughter and applause from his sneers behind immediately sounded boisterous. They were all making fun of Zhao Jun endlessly. It seemed to be very satisfied with Wang Li's request.
Zhao Jun was surprised.
He had not expected Wang Li's arrogance and arrogance to go this far!
“You! I have no business with you! Why do I have to comply with your ridiculous request?!” reject Zhao Jun raw!
His pride was completely trampled to the bottom of the abyss if he agreed to kowtow at this unreasonable young man like Wang Li!
Getting his prostration, Wang Li was extremely unworthy!
This time he will not remain silent! His martial skills were already better than when he came first! His body foundation was also more solid! Today, he had to fight back!
Wang Li's face turned ugly instantly. “What did you say just now? You dare, heh?!”
Without the slightest bit of mercy, Wang Li threw Zhao Jun in any direction to make Zhao Jun slam into the bookshelf of the library.
‘BRAKKKK!’
“Hmph! Really don't know yourself! It's a good thing I'm just giving you a meaningless little requirement! But could you refuse that outright??”
The fallen Zhao Jun lay with pain in his body, now looked up and stared at Wang Li's figure straight.
“Of course I refused it. Because you're not worthy!” he said pretty hard.
Wang Li was angry!
“KAU! I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON!”
