The girl did not look at her, showing only her profile.
Her dense eyelashes drooped, her expression inscrutable, yet she remained breathtakingly beautiful.
In the ancient medical field and the ancient martial world, the pursuit of beauty paled in comparison to individual strength.
After all, ancient medicine could use elixirs and acupuncture techniques to alter one’s appearance.
When an ancient martial artist reached the Grandmaster Realm, equivalent to a hundred-year cultivation, they could change their face at will.
Transforming into someone beautiful was effortlessly within reach.
As such, Ying Zijin’s appearance did not cause much of a sensation, but it indeed turned many heads.
Her divine beauty was not exaggerated.
By comparison, Yan Anhe, the beauty of Imperial Capital University, was utterly overshadowed, as no one else in line spared her a glance.
Yan Anhe could hardly believe her eyes and exclaimed in disbelief, "What are you doing here?!"
This was the Pill Alliance!
And it wasn’t some other place in the ancient medical field where anyone could just come and go as they pleased.
Without a token, how could she have gotten in?
The successor of the Ji Family was still being contested, and Ying Zijin was not the successor, so she couldn’t have caught the Main House’s attention, so where could she have obtained a token?
Ying Zijin had no reaction.
However, Yun Shan became alert and stepped to the side to shield the girl.
The only task Fu Yunshen had given him was to ensure Ying Zijin’s safety at all costs.
There had been a bounty on the NOK forum placed by someone from the Ji Family, and quite a few hunters had come, but he had dealt with all of them.
Besides that, Yun Shan also monitored various social media platforms to watch for anyone with malicious intent.
He knew about the incident at Imperial Capital University and had even read through the skin-peeling post.
Even if Yan Anhe turned to ash, he would recognize her.
Ye Ling looked puzzled, "Miss Ying, is she your friend?"
Ying Zijin answered indifferently, "I don’t know her."
Yan Anhe pursed her lips, her expression awkward.
But then she noticed Yun Shan and saw the Heavenly Grade Token in his hand along with a sack.
His face was resolute, his features sharp.
His muscular physique was smooth and well-proportioned, towering tall with an air of death about him, as if the smell of blood wafted from him.
Such a presence was undoubtedly that of an ancient martial artist.
Furthermore, he wasn’t just any low-level martial apprentice; his cultivation had to be at least over ten years.
Yan Anhe’s eyes flickered as she suddenly smiled, "Is this your boyfriend?"
With that, she clenched the token in her hand.
She had gone to great lengths to secure a yellow level token.
Yet Ying Zijin, with the help of her boyfriend, had managed to get easy access to the Medicine Repository and held Heavenly Grade clearance.
That was the unfair part.
Rarely, this remark caused Ying Zijin’s expression to pause slightly.
She finally glanced at Yan Anhe.
With a slight lift of her lips and a gentle voice, Yan Anhe said, "Indeed, he’s much better than those ordinary folks at Imperial Capital University. No wonder I never saw you at the campus."
If she had an ancient martial artist as a boyfriend, she would definitely not let anyone see him.
Yan Anhe smiled again, "You should keep a close watch on him, don’t let someone else take him away."
Stealing someone’s boyfriend was something she indeed enjoyed.
Ying Zijin’s gaze turned frosty.
Yun Shan could feel the chilling intent to his bones standing beside her, and he involuntarily shuddered.
After a meaningful glance at Yun Shan, Yan Anhe went to the back of the line.
Even with his low EQ, Yun Shan now understood what was happening.
He was somewhat bewildered.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Miss Ying, I—I’m dirty."
To think he had been coveted by such a disgusting woman.
"It’s fine," Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed, and she turned her head to take out a Candy Bean from her pocket, "Here’s something to comfort you."
At that moment, the other ancient physicians in line also caught a whiff of a strong medicinal scent.
But the scent vanished as quickly as it appeared, and before they could pinpoint it, it was gone, leaving the ancient physicians somewhat perplexed.
Ancient physicians required a keen sense of smell since some medicinal herbs had to be judged by their scent to determine their age.
Yun Shan was delighted and promptly forgot about Yan Anhe, eating the Candy Bean immediately.
After some thought, he took out his phone and reported to Fu Yunshen.
[Clinging to Miss Ying’s Thighs Little Shanshan]: Young Master, I’ve got something to tell you, don’t assassinate me, okay?
[Fu Yunshen]: ?
[Clinging to Miss Ying’s Thighs Little Shanshan]: Some fool with bad eyes took me for Miss Ying’s boyfriend. I swear, this was not my intention; I didn’t even say a word.
