Chapter 140 Heading to the North City
After Min Yu and the other two went to the side, Shen Baisu asked Lin Xiaoran to go to the side as well.

As for Xiao Yuan, Teacher Huang, and Uncle Lin, Shen Baisu added them to the beginner's group, and then she began to teach them.

After finishing the lesson, Shen Baisu let them meditate on their own as before, and then went to teach the four who had successfully guided Qi into their bodies.

From that day on, the number of classes each day increased to two, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

In the morning, he taught classes to those who had not yet successfully guided Qi into their bodies and to the new students who joined each day. As before, sometimes it was not Shen Baisu who gave the lectures, but someone else who would give the lectures first, and Shen Baisu would supplement the lectures later.

In the afternoon, every class was taught by Shen Baisu himself.

As time went by, more and more people successfully guided Qi into their bodies. By the time the second appointment for the rescue was made, nine people had successfully guided Qi into their bodies. Lin Xiaoran and the other three who were the first to successfully guide Qi into their bodies had already learned some simple growth-promoting techniques.

While it's impossible to force a sapling to grow into a large tree, it's possible to make it grow to twice its original size.

The four of them learned quite a few minor spells, which made things easier for Shen Baisu. So, on the day she took leave to rescue people, Shen Baisu started choosing teachers to teach the others.

This time, Shen Baisu chose Min Yu again. In addition to Min Yu, Shen Baisu also chose Lin Xiaoran to teach those who had not yet successfully cultivated Qi into their bodies.

After explaining the tasks to the two, Shen Baisu left with Feng Yin.

As it happened, Xia Yanqing was at the base, so he came to pick her up personally.

Upon seeing Shen Baisu and Feng Yin, Xia Yanqing greeted them with a warm smile, "Teacher Su, Miss Feng, it's been a long time."

Shen Baisu nodded to him and replied, "Long time no see, Director Xia."

Feng Yin didn't speak, but just nodded perfunctorily at him.

Xia Yanqing didn't mind. He opened the car door for the two of them and, to prevent them from bumping their heads, he even gentlemanly reached out his hand to shield them.

After the two got into the car, Xia Yanqing got into the driver's seat and drove out of the research base.

After the car left the base, Xia Yanqing asked Shen Baisu, "The people we need to rescue this time are in Beicheng. It may take three or four days. Do you two need to prepare anything? Beicheng is much colder than the capital."

Beicheng is the northernmost city in the Xia Kingdom. There are almost no other seasons there except winter. Even though it is summer now, the temperature there is not very high.

Feng Yin's expression didn't change after hearing Xia Yanqing's words; she just glanced at Shen Baisu.

If my junior sister says we need to prepare, then we should prepare. If she says we don't need to, then we don't need to prepare.

Shen Baisu merely raised an eyebrow at Xia Yanqing, a dark glint flashing in her eyes. Then, she looked at Xia Yanqing and said, "Beicheng?"

Xia Yanqing nodded.

Shen Baisu said with a half-smile, "I've heard that things haven't been peaceful in Beicheng lately."

Xia Yanqing clicked his tongue inwardly after hearing Shen Baisu's words, and then asked her, "So, is it inconvenient for Miss Shen?"

"You two can rest assured, I will ensure your safety."

Shen Baisu smiled meaningfully after hearing Xia Yanqing's words, and then said, "Then let's go to Beicheng."

After saying that, Shen Baisu turned her head to look out the window, as if she didn't want to say anything more.

Xia Yanqing saw Shen Baisu's expression in the rearview mirror and sighed inwardly.

It seems his plan was guessed.

Besides the instructions given above, he also had his own selfish reasons for taking Shen Baisu and Feng Yin to the North City this time.

With so many patients across the country, it's not necessarily necessary to go to Beicheng to save them.

However, the current situation in Beicheng is turbulent, and people are sacrificing themselves every day.

Xia Yanqing brought the person over not only to rescue them, but also to… “Hmm? Test them?”

"You mean this bastard is trying to test our strength?"

Xia Yanqing's thoughts were wandering when suddenly a voice with an unfriendly tone came from behind her.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yanqing almost drove the car onto another road.

He didn't expect Feng Yin to see right through his thoughts.

In just a moment, Xia Yanqing thought of many things.

He had expected his thoughts to be seen through, but he never expected Feng Yin to expose them so directly. For a moment, Xia Yanqing was at a loss for words.

After Feng Yin finished speaking, she was met with Shen Baisu's speechless expression.

Originally, Shen Baisu was using her consciousness to transmit her thoughts to Feng Yin, but unexpectedly Feng Yin spoke out directly.

Seeing Shen Baisu's slightly speechless expression, Feng Yin simply winked at her; clearly, she was doing it on purpose.

After winking at Shen Baisu, Feng Yin turned her gaze to Xia Yanqing and said, "If you want to test our strength, you can just challenge us to a fight. Don't you find these petty tricks rather annoying, Mr. Xia?"

Xia Yanqing: "..."

To be honest, he had actually thought about challenging someone to a fight.

But needless to say, he knew he was no match for Feng Yin, so there was really no need for him to do so.

"How should I put it? You and my junior sister are practically partners, so you're allies, right?"

"Since we're allies, let's open our hearts from now on and stop with these underhanded tactics. Our junior sister doesn't like them, and neither do I."

After listening, Xia Yanqing sincerely said, "I'm sorry."

Now that Feng Yin had brought it up, Shen Baisu no longer held back. She directly addressed Xia Yanqing, saying, "Since I have already signed an agreement with you, I will keep my word."

"Director Xia said he knows about cultivators, so he must know how important it is to make a promise to them."

"Since you have chosen to cooperate with me, I ask Director Xia to give me your complete trust. I will do my best to fulfill the promise I made."

"If Director Xia needs my help with anything else, it's not that we won't help, but I don't like feeling passive."

From the moment Shen Baisu first met Xia Yanqing, she could tell that Xia Yanqing was a very scheming person. Although he was polite and kind to everyone on the surface, he actually trusted no one and saw everyone as someone who would harm the country and society. In particular, the more capable a person was, the more wary and distrustful he was of them.

Shen Baisu could roughly guess the reason for his mentality.

This is probably because, before meeting her and her fellow disciples, Xia Yanqing had never met anyone so capable that he was wary of them.

He knew he couldn't control them, and he was afraid they would harm society and the country, so he tried every means to test their abilities and put them under his control.

To put it bluntly, he had never encountered a situation that was out of his control before, so he panicked.

But he was destined to be unable to control them.

Not to mention that Shen Baisu doesn't like the feeling of being controlled, Xia Yanqing's current strength is not enough to do so.

After listening to Shen Baisu's words, Xia Yanqing remained silent for a long time. After a long while, he spoke and said in a very sincere tone, "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous."

"I should have given you more trust."
