Should we separate those twenty fellow disciples?

That's just wishful thinking.

The day after offending the peak master of Jinyang Peak, everyone happily went on an adventure with Xitong.

The desolate mountain that Holy Capital Academy once used specifically to train its disciples.

Twenty senior brothers gathered here.

In the middle sat a raccoon wearing a small straw hat and a floral shirt. Because Shang Yanting was not there, the raccoon's refined appearance was replaced by the ruggedness and nouveau riche or coal mine owner vibe that his senior brothers possessed.

The nouveau riche, Boss Xiong, is currently studying the picture intently.

The problem was that she remembered there was an underground palace here, but didn't know where it was buried. Finding treasure in such a vast, desolate mountain was no easy task. She had already spent the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn on the map.

On the other side

Luan Zhenfeng came to find Lü Yun early in the morning.

What are you doing?

Of course, it's because of what happened yesterday.

Taking a step back opens up a vast expanse; enduring for a moment only makes you angrier.

That damned Zhang Jinyang (Note: Zhang Jinyang is Lei Shizhong, the peak master of Jinyang Peak. I remembered the name wrong before!), was causing trouble for his disciples behind my back and even tried to steal their magical artifacts.

How could I not be angry?

How could I not be furious?

"Dean, you can't let this matter be downplayed or ignored."

"Oh, it's all in the past. How do you know there wasn't a misunderstanding?"

Lu Yun couldn't stand the infighting within the academy that damaged harmony. "Wasn't this matter resolved yesterday? Your disciple's magic weapon is still in your disciple's hands, and no one around was injured. What else is there to say?"

Mixing mud and water.

Every time I want a result, I just try to smooth things over.

“You’re always like this. When there’s a problem, you don’t think about solving it; you only want to punish the person who raised the problem.”

Luan Zhenfeng said somewhat angrily.

"Oh dear, it's not easy for senior brother to hold up Holy Capital Academy all by himself. As his junior brother, you should be more understanding of the situation."

Lu Yun earnestly advised, "Our academy has finally produced a genius who can shock the Aotian Continent. This is a crucial moment for us to make a name for ourselves and build a good image. We must not let any discord among the academy's peak leaders cause a laughing stock for outsiders."

really.

I can never persuade him.

Seeing his stubborn nature, Luan Zhenfeng couldn't help but sigh.

What else can be said?

"You're just putting on a show. If you keep going like this, something terrible will happen sooner or later."

He looked at Lü Yun seriously and said, "As the dean, I advise you to pay close attention to Zhang Jinyang recently. He has been behaving strangely lately."

"Okay, okay."

Seeing that he wouldn't let it go, Lü Yun nodded, "Senior brother will go and teach him a lesson this afternoon!"

Unable to bear Luan Zhenfeng's appeal, Lü Yun turned and headed towards Jinyang Peak. However, as soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she was stopped by several disciples. "Who goes there? Outsiders are not allowed to enter Jinyang Peak."

"I."

Lu Yun sneered at the group of young disciples, "Don't you even recognize the dean?"

When did Jin Yang Peak become so heavily guarded?

He looked up at the mountaintop with some confusion, and then noticed layers of dark clouds gathering, giving the impression that a heavy rain was imminent. Jin Yang Peak usually enjoys pleasant weather, yet he had unexpectedly encountered this once-in-a-century rainfall.

Lu Yun glanced at the disciples standing there dumbfounded, "What are you still doing here? Do you want me to be stopped by you?"

Seemingly startled by his words, one of the disciples trembled. "Master said you may go up. Dean, please."

Lu Yun looked at his trembling appearance with suspicion. She was just speaking normally, but he seemed so serious and frightening.

Within the barren mountains

After a thorough search by his fellow disciples and their faint memories of being trapped, they finally found the collapsed and buried underground palace.

It took them two whole days to dig out the stone coffin, which was covered in a foot of dust and mud.

"Yay! I found it!"

In just two days, the once-nouveau riche raccoon had been reduced to a muddy, knotted raccoon, raising its paws in celebration of its hard-won success. This left the others bewildered, wondering why the raccoon had gone to such lengths to be dug out.

It wasn't until the raccoon scraped away the mud and grime on the coffin lid, revealing the luster that only a top-grade spirit stone could possess, that it said, "Such a large piece of top-grade spirit stone, let's divide it equally!"

This large piece of high-grade spirit stone should be divided equally.

The others exclaimed in surprise.

That's a huge profit!

Work for two days and you become a nouveau riche.

Everyone followed the raccoon in a daze, but left all of them beaming with joy.

Outside the Holy Capital Academy

When they returned to the academy, it seemed that more than half of the disciples were practicing martial arts, and there were far fewer people guarding the gate every day.

"The junior students in the academy are all a bit lazy today."

The second senior brother couldn't help but say this after landing.

"It's probably because it's mealtime, and the junior brothers have all gone to eat."

The eldest brother guessed.

They glanced at the sky; it was summer, and darkness fell quickly. Leaving their posts and ceasing their cultivation so early was indeed rather inappropriate.

Never mind.

After all, they are not from Qing Shuang Peak, so if they say too much, it would be overstepping their bounds.

"We walked back."

"Yes, yes, let's go pay our respects to our master first."

The group chattered amongst themselves as they sped off on their flying magical artifacts toward Azure Frost Peak. However, just as they reached the outskirts of the peak, they encountered Luan Zhenfeng, who was preparing to go out.

"Master, where are you going so late?"
