"I don't know that. Qingcheng Academy keeps its assessment very secret to prevent students from focusing on just one skill in order to get into the academy." The innkeeper stood up after all the dishes had been served. "That's about all I know about Qingcheng Academy. Miss Xu, please eat first. I won't disturb you any longer."
Xu Yuehuai nodded, "Thank you, shopkeeper."
There were five dishes on the table, each of which looked delicious and appealing. This was a huge temptation for Xu Yuehuai, who hadn't had hot food for a long time. She took a small bite and found that it tasted quite good, and her eyes lit up.
After finishing her meal, she followed the innkeeper's instructions and headed towards the west of the city.
Even on the last day of registration, the number of people in the west of the city was still considerable, and Xu Yuehuai stood in the queue.
"There are significantly more people wanting to get into the academy this year than last year!"
"Just look at how much cultivation resources Qingcheng Academy can provide them. If things go well, they might even be able to reach the second level one day! Who wouldn't want that?"
Hearing this topic, Xu Yuehuai naturally joined in, "Hey, gentlemen, is it true that Qingcheng Academy, which you're talking about, can allow students to enter the second level?"
The two people discussing glanced at Xu Yuehuai, and seeing that she was just curious and had no ill intentions, they happily replied, "That's right. Although Qingcheng Academy had ships to enter the second floor before, they never took outsiders there. Those who could enter the second floor were the top teachers and professors of the academy. It was basically impossible for ordinary people to enter the second floor."
Xu Yuehua nodded knowingly; it seemed that the timing of her arrival was quite good.
"Hey young lady, you don't even know these things, so why did you even think of enrolling at Qingcheng Academy?"
"I didn't think that much about it. I just thought the academy had a great reputation, and it would be good if I could make a name for myself there. But now it seems that I've gotten a great deal and even have the opportunity to enter the second floor." Xu Yuehuai played the role of an ignorant and naive girl.
Upon hearing this, the two men exchanged a glance, and finally just sighed, "Good luck, and good fortune."
"Hmph! Now anyone dares to think they can get in. So many people are signing up, who do you think you are!" A familiar yet annoying voice rang out from behind.
Xu Yuehuai didn't even need to turn around to know that this person was Yi Zhuo.
She couldn't be bothered to pay any attention.
This made Izhu feel like she'd punched a pillow, and she was extremely annoyed. "I'm talking to you! Can't you hear me? You bitch!"
Seeing that Xu Yuehuai still ignored her, Yi Zhuo drew her magical weapon, a whip, and shouted, "You bitch! I told you to answer!"
Xu Yuehuai found this noisy person extremely annoying, but she couldn't kill him.
It wasn't that he was afraid, but he was too lazy to kill. If he killed Izhuo, the forces and people behind her would inevitably come looking for trouble. Rather than that, it was better to maintain the status quo.
Xu Yuehuai grabbed the whip firmly in her hand with a casual grab. "I kept hearing dogs barking, but I didn't expect it to be you talking! I didn't hear what you said to me."
Xu Yuehuai's casual words treated her like a dog.
Izhuo could not bear such humiliation. He pulled back his whip and started fighting with Izhuo in front of everyone.
People around them automatically made room for the two of them.
In a place like Qingcheng, it's common for two people to fight. Unless it's something that concerns them, few people would step in to stop it for no reason.
"I said this girl is in trouble. The one with the whip, I think she's a disciple of the Pu family, her name is Yi Zhuo, and she's also a good friend of the Pu family's young lady. Offending her is the same as offending Miss Ji, who is the Pu family's darling."
"What a waste of such a beautiful face, it could have sold for a lot of money."
"But Yi Zhuo is already a disciple of the Pu family, what is he doing here? Could it be that he wants to leave the Pu family?"
...
The people around them were talking amongst themselves, and Xu Yuehuai and Yi Zhuo couldn't help but overhear a few words.
Yi Zhuo was able to endure it at first, but when everyone said they wanted to leave the Pu family, she completely exploded, using her spiritual power recklessly and throwing it at Xu Yuehuai.
She was quietly standing in the crowd and no one recognized her, but after someone spoke up, everyone recognized her.
Yi Zhuo was seething with anger, and when she arrived, she had nowhere to vent it. Suddenly, she heard a voice she hated, and when she looked over, she saw Xu Yuehuai. She immediately decided to take out her anger on her.
When Yi Zhuo returned home the day before yesterday, she was informed that she was no longer a disciple of the Pu family without knowing what was going on.
She was furious and wanted to find someone to give her an explanation, but no one paid any attention to her and avoided her like the plague.
Having failed to get help, she went to Wu Chen, hoping he could find out what was going on.
Ji Yuan is not home now. It's one thing if her words don't work as a disciple, but surely their young lady's fiancé's words can work too?
Thinking this, Yi Zhuo went to the Wu family to find Wu Chen, but the news she received was that the Wu family had disappeared overnight, and there was no one left in the mansion.
Yi Zhuo didn't believe it. She just thought that Wu Chen had made a scene but ultimately got nothing. The Wu family had indeed been destroyed.
After leaving the Wu family in a daze, she found a place to stay and began to think about what to do next.
So she came to the west of the city, hoping to enter Qingcheng Academy and seek refuge, fearing that she would be the next to die.
During the fight, a luxuriously decorated carriage approached from a distance. A sharp-eyed observer noticed the insignia on the carriage and exclaimed, "Isn't that the Pu family's carriage? What's it doing here?"
"Isn't it obvious? It must be that person who came for Izhuo!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhuo was momentarily distracted, and it was in this moment that she was able to block Xu Yuehuai's attack, falling directly to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this girl is even worse off. Yi Zhuo is all show and no substance, but that one isn't. Just based on his years in Qingcheng and his fiercely protective nature, this girl is probably done for!"
Yi Zhuo stopped moving, lying on the ground clutching her chest, her eyes fixed on the carriage. She recognized it; it belonged to the Pu family.
It was also Ji Yuanchi's favorite carriage, but she had never liked it before and had never let her use it.
now……
Yi Zhuo's eyes were filled with tension, worried that Ji Yuanchi had really returned, but she also felt that, given her position in Ji Yuanchi's heart, even if Ji Yuanchi did return, she would still stand by her side.
