Chapter 438: Let's have a chat
Ye Fei arrived alone at the main hall of the academy. As expected, when she pushed open the door, she saw the Grand Elder being "labored" by the Dean to water the garden and the herb garden.
"Did you rest well, little one?"
The dean was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, cracking sunflower seeds and reading a book. When he saw Ye Fei arrive, he immediately greeted her with a smile.
Ye Fei looked rather odd; this dean really didn't seem like a dean at all...
The dean had just moved closer to Ye Fei when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, rubbing his chin as he scrutinized her, his eyes narrowing like a fox's: "You actually advanced after just one night?"
Ye Fei chuckled dryly, "Well... I was just lucky. But I still have to thank the Dean for personally refining the pills for me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to activate my second spiritual root so quickly."
“You and Rong Yu are both exceptionally talented young talents in the academy. As the dean, it is only right that I help you.”
As the dean spoke, he strode gracefully toward the reception room in the main hall: "Come, have a chat with me."
Ye Fei followed him into the reception room. After the dean closed the door, he plopped down in a chair and said, "Then I'll get straight to the point. Yesterday, during the process of activating your spiritual root, I smelled a very faint trace of the Wood Immortal Spring's spiritual energy on you."
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow. Thinking about it, it made sense. The Dean was a powerful cultivator, so it wasn't surprising that he could easily smell the spiritual energy of the Wood Immortal Spring.
The dean continued, "The Wood Immortal Spring is the guardian of the sacred beast, the Myriad Spirit Flower Fairy. Since you possess the spiritual energy of the Wood Immortal Spring, I can assure you that you have a connection with the Myriad Spirit Flower Fairy—is it a contractual relationship?"
Ye Fei didn't hide anything: "Yes."
The dean nodded in satisfaction. He asked her so directly and bluntly, and she did not try to hide anything or beat around the bush.
He enjoys talking to smart kids like that.
The dean lazily propped his chin up and smiled brightly: "You're quite capable; you can make even a proud sacred beast form a pact with you."
"However, possessing a top-tier sacred beast can also cause you enormous damage."
As he spoke, he flicked his long, slender fingers into his storage ring, and a black pill flew towards Ye Fei.
Ye Fei caught the pill steadily. The dean yawned and continued, "Your level is among the best in the academy, but if you encounter a powerhouse of my level, once they smell the Wood Immortal Spring spiritual energy on you, your fate will only be a miserable death."
"This pill can mask the scent of spiritual energy on your body. Take it."
Ye Fei swallowed the pill without hesitation: "Thank you, Dean."
“Since I came out of seclusion, Cang Su has let me review the information of all the members of your team.” The dean sat up, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ye Fei. He gazed at Ye Fei’s face and smiled, “To be honest, I admire you.”
"What makes you say that?" Ye Fei took the teacup and asked with a faint smile.
"Your training squad includes five roles: offensive, healing support, control, tracking, and defense. The fact that you were able to select the squad members in such a short time is enough to prove that you have carefully vetted them."
The dean sighed, stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance: "At the Spirit Master Exchange Conference three months from now, every participating Spirit Master academy must select three elite teams, and these three teams will represent their respective academies in the competition."
"And your team is one of the three teams I selected."
Ye Fei took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and looked at the dean: "Dean, I want to know the final reward for this year's Spirit Master Exchange Conference."
