"A spirit beast? Is it a cat?" Dongfang Yuanyan was still a little confused.
"How could I have given birth to such a stupid thing?" The head of the Dongfang family thought to himself, wondering what he had done wrong back then.
No one answered Dongfang Yuanyan's question anymore. Dongfang Mian simply recounted the process of taming Aju, prompting the Dongfang family head to repeatedly praise his granddaughter for her great opportunity. Both Yan Lin and Aju were beings that ordinary people could only dream of in their entire lives.
After giving Dongfang Mian a few simple instructions, the head of the Dongfang family took some pills and materials from the Dongfang family's treasury for her to take with her. After all, she was the only member of the Dongfang family's younger generation to enter the inner courtyard, and she was also the champion. This made the Dongfang family look very proud among the other families.
Upon returning to the academy, Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin were unexpectedly summoned by the dean. Completely bewildered, they arrived at the dean's office and were greeted by a beaming dean.
"You've arrived, very good. You are the most outstanding talents of our Vermilion Bird Academy this year. I have high hopes for you and hope that you can become even stronger after entering the inner academy," the Dean said.
Dongfang Mian looked at him with a puzzled expression. So, you rushed us here just to say this useless nonsense?
After speaking for a while and finding no one responding, the dean rubbed his hands together, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, there's something else I called you over for, which might require your help."
"Oh? What is it that you, Dean, can't do yourself and need our help?"
"I can't tell you that now. You'll have a chance to enter the academy's secret realm once you enter the inner courtyard. I'll tell you what it is then. I'm just letting you know in advance," the Grand Dean said, waving his hand.
"It's so mysterious," Dongfang Mian thought for a moment and said, "We'll do our best when the time comes."
The dean seemed not to understand the meaning of those words, and simply assumed they had agreed, then casually dismissed them.
On the way back, Dongfang Mian's mind was still a mess. Yan Lin simply said, "The Dean has a long-term vision."
After returning, the inner academy quickly issued tokens to the inner academy students, and Dongfang Mian put the matter out of her mind. After a brief farewell to Luo Xiaoyu, Dongfang Mian officially began her life as an inner academy student.
The inner courtyard is not located in the same place as the outer courtyard. These hundred people arrived by taking a small teleportation array led by an elder.
Emerging from the teleportation array, the concentration of spiritual energy in the air was noticeably higher, making breathing feel refreshing and invigorating.
Unlike the outer academy, which has separate academies such as the Alchemy Academy, Weaponry Academy, and Beast Academy, the inner academy has students of all attributes studying together in one inner academy hall, taught by the inner academy elders. The Alchemist Guild, Weaponry Guild, and other similar organizations have branches in the inner academy for students to register and take exams.
Secondly, the inner courtyard also has a mission hall, a library hall, an exchange hall, a trial hall, and an assessment hall. Compared to the inner courtyard, the already large outer courtyard suddenly feels like a third-rate elementary school.
Whether it was because the dean had given prior notice or not, Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin were assigned to the same small courtyard again. The room was decorated in a slightly festive style, making the two look like a newlywed couple.
Dongfang Mian blushed for the first time in a long time, and Aju jumped onto the table with a meow, saying, "This old man is really sensible. In order to cling to our Lord Lin's thigh, he offered you up without hesitation."
