He recognized the person; he was one of the students he had just trained. And the student had only recently completed the task.

Otherwise, with so many missions over the years, he wouldn't be able to remember who was who.

Qingjian didn't speak while cleaning up the money, suppressing the urge to ask. When the money manager opened his eyes, he immediately looked at him.

"Well? Do you know who it is?!" Qing didn't even realize the barely suppressed excitement in her voice.

How could I not get excited?

The problem of the loss of the mountain's natural energy has troubled him for nearly a hundred years.

If he hadn't suddenly realized something, he wouldn't have noticed the strangeness in the back mountain.

If he couldn't detect it, he probably wouldn't know the reason until the day the South Academy closed down.

How could this not excite him!

Manager Qian could also sense the other party's excitement.

His eyes held a hint of surprise; clearly, having stayed in the South Academy for so long, he had never witnessed Dean Qing lose his composure like this before.

He couldn't help but wonder what the person who sent the jade slip had done to make Dean Qing so excited.

Although the new student completed a level-two task in half a day, and this task was quite tedious, and she did it all by herself, Manager Qian was also quite surprised.

But it hasn't gotten to the point where Dean Qing is involved.

He glanced at Dean Qing several times, unsure of how to begin.

"What? Don't you know who it is?" Dean Qing calmed down, regaining his usual aloof demeanor, and glanced at Steward Qian.

That one glance immediately put Manager Qian under immense pressure.

Without daring to think any further, he quickly told the truth: "I know, I know, it was a task that was just assigned, how could I forget?"

Manager Qian gave an awkward smile.

"The task we just handed in?" Dean Qing's eyes lit up, but he immediately composed himself and asked with a stern face, "I remember that all the wasps in our academy come from the back mountain, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Manager Li was just worried about this. Quite a few students have been stung by wasps, which is why he issued this task." Manager Qian waved the jade slip in his hand.

Upon hearing what Manager Qian said, Qingjian suddenly calmed down.

It seems pretty much true.

The closer they got to the truth, the less excited Dean Qing became.

"This mission was just sent out, and it just so happened that the trainee I brought to take on the mission took it on yesterday and came to hand it in early this morning. This kid not only completed the mission well, but also quickly."

Manager Qian was also a talkative person; once he started talking, he kept going.

He was also someone who appreciated talent, and subconsciously spoke a few good words for that person in front of Dean Qing.

"Lin Jingge is one of the top students in this year's class, already at the peak of the Great Spirit Master level. During this mission, she not only escaped injury but also completed more tasks."

"Yes, today!" Qingjian responded after hearing what Manager Qian said, and then took the jade slip from Manager Qian's hand: "There's no mistake, it's her."

"What?" Manager Qian instinctively let go when he saw the jade slip being taken away.

Listening to Dean Qing's words, he recognized each word individually, but when put together, he couldn't understand them at all.

"Where is she now?" Qingjian didn't have time to answer Manager Qian's question and asked directly about Lin Jingge's whereabouts.

He can't help but want to ask Lin Jingge how she solved this problem.

You have to understand, he has spent over a hundred years, and not only has he failed to destroy the thing that was draining the fortune of the entire South Courtyard, he has not even seen a shadow of it.

"She went back and should be at her residence now. I heard her say she was planning to rest when she left." Manager Qian was grabbed by Dean Qing and smelled, and immediately became somewhat stunned.

This is a legendary figure in their academy, always elusive and only showing up on important occasions.

Even though Manager Qian has worked at the South Campus for so many years, he has never seen Dean Qing more than a few times.

This was the first time Dean Qing had ever touched him!

Who would have thought that Manager Qian was also an admirer of Dean Qing?

After finding out where Lin Jingge was, Qingjian immediately went to look for her.

At this moment, those who helped repair the formation have gradually arrived at the contribution point exchange area.

This has happened several times before, and this time they came over easily, just like before.

Upon entering, one sees Dean Qing, who usually has a stern and calm demeanor, now excitedly pulling and tugging at Manager Qian.

The array masters all thought it was magical.

However, before they could utter a sound, Dean Qing turned around and walked towards them.

"Dean, this..." Before the array master could finish speaking, Qingjian brushed past him.

He bumped into someone behind him because he was walking too fast.

Everyone looked toward Qingjian, who had already walked away.

Then we saw Dean Qing return.

“Come with me,” Qingjian said.

Although the array masters didn't understand what Dean Qing meant by those words, they still subconsciously wanted to follow him.

Before any movement could even begin, Dean Qing quickly grabbed Teacher Zhao Ya's wrist and dragged her away.

All the array masters: "...?"

Someone asked blankly, "When did Dean Qing and Teacher Zhao get together?"

Everyone was thinking about this question.

One person must be removed from this group, and that is Manager Qian.

He knew perfectly well that Dean Qing had gone to see Lin Jingge, but he didn't know her purpose.

Furthermore, he could also guess why Dean Qing had taken Teacher Zhao Ya away.

Because Lin Jingge's residence is a woman's place, men are not allowed to enter.

The reason for seeking out Teacher Zhao Ya is definitely to have her bring Lin Jingge out.

Manager Qian thought this to himself, but on his face he wore an expression of being the only one who was sober in a world of drunks.

He touched the spot where Dean Qing had just held his hand.

He thought about it and decided never to wash this piece of clothing again, since his idol had touched it!

"Dean, what's wrong that's making you so anxious..." Zhao Ya was practically dragged along by Dean Qing.

Midway through, she asked helplessly.

"I'll tell you later. Now, come with me," Qingjian said.

Helpless, Zhao Ya could only use her spiritual power to keep up.

As for why she wasted her spiritual energy to keep up, it was because she was afraid that if she was too slow, Qingjian would drag her along.

The exchange point wasn't too far from where Lin Jingge lived. In addition, the restrictions within the academy were mainly designed to prevent students from misusing their spiritual power, but there were no such restrictions on teachers.

Therefore, they soon arrived at their destination.

"Teacher Zhao, could you please go and call Lin Jingge out?" Qingjian said to Zhao Ya, standing by the wall.

They practically ran all the way, and Zhao Yahun was almost left behind by Qingjian.

At this moment, Qingjian finally let go of her wrist, and she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and stand up straight.

The two looked up and saw the dilapidated gate, with not even a teacher guarding the entrance for registration.
