"No, I'm just a little surprised that the Dean would take on a disciple. Xiao Jiu, you are the Dean's only disciple."

Ji Jiuying didn't react much to this, and Wen Chuyu knew from this that she didn't understand what it meant! Oh well, let her figure it out slowly!

"By the way, where are Ah Xiu and Xiao Ting? Did they come to Star Academy too?"

"Hmm~ They arrived yesterday. Ah Xiu is in seclusion cultivating, and Ting'er probably went off to the market to fool around."

"There's a market at the academy too?"

"Yes, there are. Inside, there are students and martial arts practitioners selling all sorts of strange and unusual things. Of course, there are also restaurants and auction venues, just like in Kyoto."

Ji Jiuying nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Just then, a woman's voice came from afar behind them, "Little Nine, Big Brother!"

Ji Jiuying turned around and saw Wen Longting rushing over in a flurry.

"Xiao Jiu, you've finally arrived! I've been looking for you in Kyoto for so long, I thought you'd gone to the academy first!" Wen Longting said, panting.

"We were just talking about you, and here you are," Ji Jiuying said with a smile.

"By the way, Xiao Jiu, which department did you go to?"

"Gui Xu Hall!"

"Oh, the Guixu Palace!" Wen Longting exclaimed in surprise, "What? The Guixu Palace! Isn't that..."

She drew everyone's attention!

"Ting'er!" Wen Chuyu quickly stepped forward and covered Wen Longting's mouth!

Ji Jiuying stared speechlessly at Wen Longting; this girl was too lively.

"Alright, since Xiaoting is here too, let's go together!"

"Mmm~" Wen Longting nodded excitedly. She had been at Star Academy for over a year and had never been to Guixu Hall before.

The three walked through the academy, attracting the attention of many people with their good looks and handsome appearance.

"Look at the girl next to Senior Brother Chuyu, she's so beautiful!"

"I think she's even prettier than Senior Sister Piaopiao."

"It seems the number one beauty of Star Academy is about to change."

"I think she and Senior Brother Chuyu look like a perfect match!"

"Tch~ So what if she's pretty? She still got in through the back door." A woman said jealously. She had seen everything clearly at the door. She must have seduced Senior Brother Chuyu to get her introduced.

The woman's voice wasn't quiet; almost everyone around could hear her.

Can Wen Longting tolerate her fiery temper?

cannot!

"Hey~ you ugly monster over there, did you just eat shit? Why are you spewing filth from your mouth?"

Wen Longting put one hand on her hip and pointed at the woman who had just spoken, saying!

"How...how can you speak so rudely?" The woman clearly did not expect Wen Longting to retort so immediately!

"So what if I'm rude? Being rude is better than being a smart aleck! Keep babbling and I'll slap you!"

"you!"

"Senior Brother Chuyu, look how rude Wen Longting is! Aren't you going to do anything about her?!"

The woman glared at Wen Longting, then looked at Wen Chuyu with deep affection and said that if she were to marry into the Wen family in the future, she would never let Wen Longting go!

Wen Chuyu glanced at the woman out of the corner of her eye, "My sister's condition is none of an outsider's business!"

Wen Longting made a face at the woman, "You wouldn't happen to like my brother, would you?"

"You...don't talk nonsense!" Her face flushed red, as if a secret in her heart had been discovered.

Seeing this, Wen Longting understood everything. She affectionately took Ji Jiuying's arm and said, "Let me tell you, my brother wouldn't even give you a second glance if you looked like this. Just give up on that idea!"

"You! I..."

The woman glared at Wen Longting and Ji Jiuying, then turned and left angrily!

Damn Wen Longting, and that new woman!

She used to greet Chu Yu with a smile, but now she doesn't even look at her. It must be because of that woman!

But she forgot that Wen Chuyu always responded the same way to anyone, regardless of gender!

But Wen Chuyu didn't expect that his polite reply would be misunderstood!

"Chu Yu has quite a few suitors!" Ji Jiuying said with a smile!

Wen Chuyu was slightly taken aback, a ripple of emotion stirring in her heart. "Xiao Jiu, please stop teasing me!"

"My brother is the senior disciple of the Sword Sect. He's incredibly strong and handsome! Naturally, he has many admirers. But I think only a beauty like you, Xiao Jiu, is the perfect match for my brother!"

"Ting'er! Stop talking nonsense!" Wen Chuyu quickly scolded, not daring to even look at Ji Jiuying.

Ji Jiuying was stunned for a moment, but she quickly covered it up! She didn't expect Wen Longting to suddenly drag her into this!

"Oh dear, brother, why are you so nervous? I was just expressing my thoughts! You wouldn't...?"

Wen Longting looked at Wen Chuyu with a suspicious expression, narrowing her eyes and sizing her up and down!

At this moment, Wen Chuyu's ears turned slightly red from Wen Longting's gaze! Her icy blue eyes widened even more, as if a secret had been revealed!

Wen Chuyu glared at Wen Longting, then looked at Ji Jiuying with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Xiao Jiu, don't mind what Ting'er said, I'll take you to Guixu Palace first!"

After saying that, he ignored Wen Longting and walked forward!

"good!"

As Wen Long watched the two figures walk away, she felt they were a perfect match!

By the time she realized what was happening, the two had already walked quite a distance. "Hey~ wait for me..."

After Wen Longting's outburst, the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward. They chatted intermittently, but Wen Longting was the only one who kept talking the whole way!

"We're here! Xiao Jiu, you can go in by yourself. I can only take you this far!"

Wen Chuyu pointed to the door in front of her and said!

"Xiao Jiu, be careful! I've heard that the dean has a terrible temper!" Wen Longting muttered under her breath.

Ji Jiuying recalled the scene when she first met Yu Bugui. Was he bad-tempered? She didn't notice. All she knew was that the old man was a complete drunkard!

The thought that she was the only disciple in such a large sect was actually quite good; it made it very convenient for her to do whatever she wanted!

"Then I'll come find you later, and we'll go out to eat together!"

"Okay, thank you!" Ji Jiuying said and turned to go inside.

Wen Chuyu watched her leave, and then left with Wen Longting as well!

Ji Jiuying slowly walked into the clan's mansion, looking around. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying with it the scent of medicine!

Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow and followed the direction of the medicinal fragrance. Stepping into the courtyard, she was amazed by the scene inside!

What looks like an ordinary courtyard from the outside reveals a completely different scene inside!

The courtyard was very large, with only one narrow path in the middle. On both sides were various spiritual herbs that were rarely seen outside. What surprised her even more was that the soil used to grow the spiritual herbs was the legendary Black Spirit Soil!

There's still such a huge amount! It's absolutely infuriating!

Black Spirit Soil, as the name suggests, is spiritual soil used to grow spiritual herbs. The spiritual herbs grown there are easier to form a core than ordinary spiritual herbs, and they are also of higher purity. Not to mention, one day of Black Spirit Soil is equivalent to a hundred days on ordinary soil!
