The grey-robed venerable in front of him looked cautious, with an expectant glimmer in his eyes.

Suddenly, three black lines appeared on Mu Ruyue's forehead. She coughed twice and said, "I have finished my work. Now, tell me about yours."

"My business?"

The Gray-robed Elder was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"That's right," Mu Ruyue nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, your body is already failing and you're about to run out of energy. It's really not easy for you to survive until today."

Hearing this, the Gray-robed Venerable laughed bitterly: "Over the years, for her, I have been tormented and exhausted, and my body has been worn out. If I can't break through again, I'm afraid that my life will not last long..."

As long as the last step is not reached, life will not be infinite.

The Gray-robed Venerable was very powerful, so he had lived for too long. However, his life span was also limited. He could not continue to live until he had a breakthrough...

"Three years. I still have three years. However, it is obviously unlikely that I will be able to make a breakthrough within these three years."

The Gray-robed Reverend shook his head and sighed, "What makes me feel pity is that I can't see her again..."

“Three years?” Mu Ruyue frowned, then relaxed. “I will refine a pill that will allow you to break through within these three years.”

"What did you say?"

The grey-robed venerable widened his eyes, staring at Mu Ruyue's calm face in astonishment: "You said, can you help me break through within three years?"

“I can’t guarantee success, but I will try my best!”

Three years is an extremely short time for a cultivator and will pass in the blink of an eye. However, she only has three years, so improving her strength is urgent.

…

In the banquet hall, everyone looked at Mu Ruyue who walked out safely in surprise, their hearts filled with shock...

She...she made it out alive?

The Gray-robed Venerable actually let her go?

How is this possible?

Just as everyone was shocked, a figure in gray appeared before their eyes...

"Gray-robed Reverend, this...what's going on?" Chen Yi suppressed his resentment and asked, "She broke the rules, why did you protect her?"

"rule?"

The grey-robed venerable smiled coldly, "What evidence do you have to prove that she hurt someone from your Chen family? Besides, this rule was set by me. Do I need to ask for your opinions on what I want to do? In addition, during today's gathering, I want to announce something!"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "This North Wind Plain will be given to Yue girl as a gift. No one else is allowed to use it."

He didn't mean to return it to the academy, but to give it to Mu Ruyue.

In other words, the seminary had no right to forcibly take back the North Wind Plain from her!

“Girl, are you satisfied with Master’s decision?” The grey-robed venerable turned to look at Mu Ruyue with a flattering smile, “If you are satisfied, then… call Master to listen.”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

boom!

A bolt of thunder fell from the sky and exploded in everyone's heart.

For a moment, they suspected that there was something wrong with their ears, and stared at the handsome face of the Gray-robed Reverend in astonishment...

Did they hear it right?

The Gray-robed Venerable wanted to give the North Wind Plain to Mu Ruyue? Moreover, he even called himself the Grand Master?

Chen Yi's face turned pale, his body swayed, and he almost fell down...
