However, after all, enlightenment is fleeting, so if you seize the opportunity and immediately practice, there is absolutely nothing to doubt...
Many people in the academy were also lamenting that, despite competing in the freshman tryouts, others, after just a few matches, had already gained some insights and decided to go into seclusion to cultivate. It wasn't hard to imagine that after their seclusion, their strength would have increased significantly...
Looking at myself again, after so many days of competition, I can't even see any improvement in my thinking, let alone enlightenment...
It's true that comparing goods will lead to throwing them away, and comparing people will lead to death!
During these nine days, Venerable Mo Shang publicly stated that he and his apprentice would sponsor half of the elixirs for this freshman trial. As soon as this statement came out, the entire academy was staring at Venerable Mo Shang. What's more, some people were doubting Venerable Mo Shang's motives for doing so!
After Venerable Mo Shang threw a couple of hundred second-grade medicinal pills to the instructor in charge of the freshman trials, no one questioned his reason for doing so. Everyone was shocked by Venerable Mo Shang's generosity, and naturally, no one paid any attention to the fact that Venerable Mo Shang had requested leave for his apprentice to not participate in the freshman trials...
After all, so many second-grade elixirs were definitely not made by Venerable Mo Shang. They should have been refined by his disciples who worked overtime during these nine days. Even if their mental strength was strong, they could not withstand such consumption!
As a senior brother, he has to set a good example for his junior sister! He can't lose his image in front of Junior Sister Yunxi!
It seems that he really needs to work hard on his training!
Venerable Mo Shang looked at An Ran with satisfaction and said, "You have great talent, just like your senior brother. As long as you are willing to work hard and devote yourself to alchemy, you will definitely achieve success."
After saying this, he looked at An Ran meaningfully and said with a hint of meaning, "Being a person and doing things is sometimes like refining an elixir. No matter how capable you are, sometimes, if you want to do what you love without distraction, you need the people around you to clear some obstacles for you."
Is the master reminding me? Is he reminding me to tell my senior brother what I have been hiding?
An Ran raised her head, her bright eyes fixed on Venerable Mo Shang. She looked at him seriously and said, "Master, I understand. But sometimes, telling too many people about something can put them in danger. It's actually safer not to know."
Seeing An Ran so stubborn, refusing to obey discipline, and even talking back, with a lot of reasons, Venerable Mo Shang glared at An Ran angrily, puffing his beard and saying:
"Alright, alright, you little devil are so opinionated. Do whatever you want. Let's go eat first. Today is the mobilization meeting for the freshman trials. You two can't be late."
An Ran and Xu Errong knew that when Venerable Mo Shang said that they could not be late, he was not referring to them, but to Yang Liu and Nick, whom they were to pretend to be. They had to walk out of Yang Liu and Nick's house before anyone noticed and officially announce the end of their retreat!
An Ran finished her breakfast calmly and confidently, while Jun Zichen looked at An Ran, Mo Shang Zun, Xu Errong, and An Yu with a playful gaze, while An Ran looked at An Ran with a look of resentment on her face.
After breakfast, Jun Zichen walked over to An Ran with a look of reluctance, clung to her, and reluctantly said, "You must take good care of yourself. Those people who participate in the freshman trials at the Magician Academy are not good people. You are about to be kidnapped by them!"
An Ran rolled her eyes speechlessly, looking at the reluctant Jun Zichen and said, "I'm not stupid, how could I be abducted by them? Don't worry!"
Jun Zichen continued reluctantly, "You're not stupid, but those people from the four major families are simply omnipresent. I'm worried that you'll fall into their trap if you're not careful, and there's no way to avoid it! And..."
So... doesn't this mean that I'm stupid?
An Ran looked at Jun Zichen speechlessly. She interrupted Jun Zichen and asked, "So what do you want?"
Jun Zichen then approached An Ran slyly and whispered to her, "How about I come to your side and help you? I'm very capable. Not only can I stand guard and protect you from being bullied, but I can also massage your shoulders and legs, make the quilt and warm the bed. Of course, if you want me to help you with your eyebrows and makeup, I can do that too! How about it? Do you want it?"
An Ran couldn't help but twitch her lips. She looked at Jun Zichen as if he were a fool and asked, "I'm still confident that you can stand guard and protect me, but can you massage shoulders and legs, make the bed and warm it, and do your eyebrows and makeup? Also, now that you've come to find me, what about Le An?"
Jun Zichen looked at An Ran pitifully and said, "Le An can just have any one of the four of Phantom to play the role. He doesn't need my help at all~"
An Ran looked at Jun Zichen and said helplessly, "Didn't we agree on this before? The four Phantoms will be the backup. This was all planned. How can we go back on our word now?"
"It's okay. The four of them are very capable. It's just one more task. They can handle it. If they can't do such a small thing, they wouldn't be the trusted secret guards of this prince!"
Jun Zichen made a solemn promise to An Ran, trying to get her to agree to let him stay by her side.
Hearing this, An Ran couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She silently mourned for the Phantom Four for three minutes. After all, having such a willful master was truly tragic. She wondered how the Phantom Four had managed to survive all these years...
If the four Phantoms knew An Ran's comments, they would definitely hug An Ran and cry bitterly about how they had been abused by Jun Zichen over the years...
An Ran looked at the childish Jun Zichen, rolled her eyes speechlessly, ignored Jun Zichen, and walked towards An Yu and Xu Errong who were preparing to leave not far away.
Behind him, Jun Zichen had no choice but to follow.
Over there, Xu Errong was discussing with An Yu how to work closely together in the Magician Academy. Seeing An Ran and Jun Zichen approaching, he quickly said:
"Prince Jun, you've arrived just in time. An Yu and I have just discussed our cooperation at the Magician Academy, as well as how we should separate from the troops and act independently at the Freshman Trial Ground. You're welcome to listen and see if you have any other ideas. As for you, Junior Sister Yunxi, I was thinking that it would be great if you could come with me. We just need to act in unison."
An Ran looked at Xu Errong and nodded, saying, "Okay, I understand."
Jun Zichen raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Errong, his expression becoming a little serious. He said, "Okay, what do you think?"
(To be continued.)
