Even so, she gained some fame in the medical world and started winning awards in college.

She’s still working on her doctorate now.

I thought I was taking on two Bronze apprentices, but they turned out to be champions!

Xia Shi held the prescription, preparing to go out and buy medicine for Zhai En.

As soon as she opened the door, someone rushed in—it was Xia Weibao, who had returned!

Xia Weibao pushed her back into the room and then turned to close the door.

"What’s wrong?" Xia Shi asked, puzzled.

Xia Weibao gestured for her to be quiet, "I don’t know who on your floor ticked someone off, but I just saw a few assassins heading this way."

So she turned back to see if there was a chance to defend herself.

Even though she knew with Xia Shi’s peace-loving nature, those people couldn’t possibly be after Xia Shi.

But what if they got caught in the crossfire, right?

Staying here, she could not only protect the beauty but also defend herself.

Just as she was thinking this, there was a loud banging on the door.

Xia Weibao, "..."

Damn!

They’re actually after Xia Shi!

Suddenly she was very glad she ran back; otherwise, how could Xia Shi, a weak woman, be a match for those assassins?

Damn it!

Do they all think she’s dead, daring to touch her woman?

Xia Weibao angrily pulled the door open, facing six fierce-looking assassins outside.

"Who sent you?"

The assassins pounding on the door were taken aback; Miss Qiao clearly said the target was an ugly beast, so why was it a heavenly beauty?

Looking past her, they saw the terribly scarred Xia Shi, looking extremely fierce.

"We’re looking for her, stay out of it."

"Ah-da!"

Her Majesty the Empress felt that talking to these people was a waste of time, better to start fighting and then harshly interrogate them!

Fearing she might disturb the neighbors and cause unnecessary trouble, Xia Weibao hit their mute acupressure point as she made her move.

Leaving them with no way to call for help!

Then she casually shut the door, too violent; a beauty shouldn’t see such things, it might ruin her ladylike image.

Ah-da!

Ah-da, ah-da-da-da!

Had a hell of a fight... oops, it’s self-defense, I misspoke, how could our Empress, such a lady, be fighting? It was self-defense.

Forced into self-defense, Her Majesty the Empress then picked up the assassins like little chicks and threw them into the living room.

Xia Shi, who had run to the kitchen and grabbed a knife and spatula to help, was stunned!

"Are these... are these the same assassins from just now?"

Damn!

Beaten so badly their moms wouldn’t recognize them!

Her Majesty the Empress clapped her hands with satisfaction, "Yep, they slipped on the stairs just now and ended up like this."

The assassins, "..."

They had some words they wanted to throw at you!

Xia Shi, "..."

No need to explain, I get it!

"Tell us, who sent you?"

Xia Weibao waved her hand, as if saying, confess, or face torture.

However, the assassins, covering their bruised and swollen faces, glared at her resentfully.

Her Majesty the Empress chuckled, not talking?

Just what she wanted!

Raising her hand, a silver needle, and in the midst of their horrified gazes, she jabbed it into each one’s pain point.

Those in pain rolled on the ground, knocking over several pieces of furniture, soon drenched in cold sweat, yet they stubbornly refused to say a word.

Xia Weibao calmly said, "No one has ever lasted five minutes under my hand; are you sure you won’t talk?"

"Um..." Xia Shi suddenly tugged at her sleeve, "I feel like they’re trying to talk but can’t."
