Xin Lin returned to Qingtian Academy and at the gate, she encountered Chu Miaoyun.
Chu Miaoyun, accompanied by several maids and attendants, was walking out of Qingtian Academy with large and small boxes in tow.
Tears still marked her face, and upon seeing Xin Lin, she revealed a look of resentnt.
"Xin, don’t get too smug. One day, I’ll make you pay."
Chu Miaoyun was there to drop out.
How big is Purple Cloud City? The news of Chu Chutian being dismissed had already spread throughout the entire city.
As soon as Chu Miaoyun returned to the Academy, she was t with many cold remarks.
Spoiled since childhood, she had never suffered such ntal indignation.
In a fit of anger, she dropped out of school.
After all, having apprenticed under the Poison Saint, she wouldn’t be able to learn much in a place like Qingtian Academy, and she’d be better off directly going to rely on her Senior Brother, the Young Master Tu.
Chu Miaoyun blad it all on Xin Lin.
Although there was no direct evidence, Chu Miaoyun firmly believed that this matter was related to Taoyao Pavilion and Xin Lin.
"Then I’ll just wait and see."
Xin Lin shrugged.
Chu Miaoyun stomped her foot and left in embarrassnt.
Xin Lin returned to the small wooden house number 24 and took out the imperial edict.
"Chu Tianyi, Poison Saint... everything has just begun."
Taking down Chu Tianyi was sothing Xin Lin had planned for a long ti.
She just hadn’t found the right opportunity, and this ti, the Fire Emperor Auspicious Soup was sothing she ca upon by chance.
Whether it was the Young Master Tu or the Emperor Longteng, no one knew why Chu Tianyi went mad, or rather, why he went mad in the Imperial Palace.
Xin Lin, in no rush, took out that book, "Spiritual Delicacies."
On the third page of "Spiritual Delicacies," was the two-star spiritual food, Imperial Longjing Tea.
Imperial Longjing Tea is a spiritual tea brewed using the finest Nanshan Hot Spring Water and post-rain Longjing Tea leaves.
This tea was also Chu Tianyi’s favorite, and usually only available at Longteng Palace.
Whenever he went to the palace, he was sure to drink several cups of it, all information Xin Lin had diligently gathered earlier on, regarding Chu Tianyi’s personal preferences.
This tea, when drunk alone, poses no issues; on the contrary, it is known to prolong life.
However, when drunk with Fire Toad Ginseng, it’s a different story; within 24 hours, it stimulates the dicinal effects of the ginseng, turning it into a ferocious force, the more Imperial Longjing Tea consud, the stronger the effect.
Upon hearing that Chu Tianyi and others were coming to Taoyao Pavilion, Xin Lin specially prepared a portion of Fire Emperor Auspicious Soup, as she knew the Emperor Longteng had been searching for a Spiritual Delicacy Master, and Chu Tianyi was a sycophant; the mont he found a suitable Spiritual Delicacy Master, he would certainly report it to the Emperor Longteng.
Sure enough, Chu Tianyi entered the palace overnight.
As Emperor Longteng’s favored minister, he was naturally entertained by the eunuchs with Imperial Longjing Tea.
And that drink led to an incident.
The calculations were precise; even a half-step off would not have worked.
The reason why others couldn’t see through it was because the conflict between Imperial Longjing Tea and Fire Toad Ginseng’s effects was sothing Xin Lin had never seen docunted in other spiritual cuisine recipes.
Only in her copy of "Spiritual Delicacies" was it recorded.
If Xin Lin hadn’t accidentally seen it earlier, she wouldn’t have been able to seize this opportunity.
Chu Tianyi’s misconduct made it clear that returning to the Imperial Hospital was impossible for him.
"With Chu Tianyi’s removal, his allies surely won’t rest. To avoid long-term troubles, I must start brewing the antidote for the Three Corpse Poison as soon as possible, preferably before the Emperor Longteng’s grand birthday celebration. Unfortunately, I’m still quite short on the Heaven-defying Value."
Contemplating, Xin Lin realized that everything was ready except for the lacking Heaven-defying Value. She thought for a mont and decided to wait a few more days until the Spiritual Delicacy Buns and Spiritual Spring were sold, which would yield enough Heaven-defying Value to start the alchemy process.
