Chapter 126: The Training Team
Huang Rongyu wasn't worried about the Seventh Elder's financial situation at all. If he didn't even have this much money, then the Seventh Elder would truly be unworthy of the title of academy elder. "It's alright, Xiao Fei. Not everyone can make Seventh... Sister spend money. You don't need to feel too burdened."
The Seventh Elder waved her hand casually, her face completely unconcerned: "Yes, I'm not just doing this for fun. I'm willing to spend so much money on you because I like you!"
"If you feel guilty, then cultivate diligently and achieve some good results in the upcoming month of trials to show your sister."
The Seventh Elder chewed on a pastry and winked playfully at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei looked at Huang Rongyu in confusion: "The Month of Trials?"
“Hmm.” Huang Rongyu nodded and explained to Ye Fei, “The Month of Trials is a grand event jointly organized by the three major higher academies of the Eastern Continent. It is held once a year, and all students will go to the highest peak of the Eastern Continent, Panlong Peak, for a month-long trial. Therefore, it is called the Month of Trials.”
“I see…” Ye Fei stroked her chin. She had read in a book that Panlong Peak was one of the most famous dragon's dens and tiger's lairs in the Eastern Continent, where countless dangers were hidden and many lone travelers perished every year.
She thought for a moment, then asked, "Since it's a complex and dangerous area, we definitely can't go alone... Will the training teams be arranged based on overall strength?"
The Seventh Elder waved his finger: "The academy does not specifically require anyone to team up with anyone else. Generally speaking, students form or join teams on their own."
At this point, the Seventh Elder stood up, put his hand on Ye Fei's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Little Fei'er, some strong people are arrogant and aloof. They always hate dealing with people, so they choose to go it alone. But having a group of partners you can trust can save you a lot of trouble."
"Other academies may not have this rule, but to graduate from Lingfeng Academy, you must fulfill a special requirement: before graduation, you must form or join a team and complete the team trials arranged by the academy."
Ye Fei nodded: "Sister, I understand."
The Seventh Elder glanced at Huang Rongyu, then at Li Yuan, and said with a smile, "Usually, a qualified training team includes elements such as strong attack, control, defense, healing, and stealth tracking. I think the three of you are very suitable to form a team."
"Eh?" Ye Fei turned around and looked at the two handsome young men.
The Seventh Elder sighed, sat back down, and pointed at the three of them with a smile: "However, all three of you possess highly aggressive spiritual energy. We'll need to carefully select suitable candidates to join the team later."

Given the already substantial "debts" she owed, the remaining auction items were no longer within Ye Fei's consideration.
The auction concluded when the last item was successfully sold.
Before long, a beautiful woman in purple robes knocked on the door of the private room: "I am Dai Xun. Please follow me to the inner room to confirm the auction items."
"Xiao Li, and Xiao Fei'er, come with your sister! Rong Yu, you and your sister wait for us to return in the private room."
The Seventh Elder grabbed Ye Fei with one hand and put his other arm around Li Yuan's shoulder, and walked straight out of the private room.
The once noisy Wugui Pavilion has become unusually quiet, and even the sound of footsteps walking through the corridor seems to be infinitely amplified in one's ears.
At the end of the corridor was a separate room.
Dai Xun led the three to the door and gestured for them to enter: "Please come into the room, gentlemen."
