A slightly older woman stepped out from the line. She looked at Ji Shi with a serious expression and said, "Ji Shi, we never thought of you that way. You were the one who said you wanted to succeed, wanted everyone on these three floors to know you existed, and wanted to become a remarkable person."
"Do you remember why you chose Dean Guo in the first place? Because Dean Guo is the most skilled alchemist on these three floors!" The girl said each word clearly, her eyes calm and rational. "But your goal is only to become the most skilled person, not the most skilled alchemist. Since Dean Guo has rejected you, then you can choose another dean."
Upon hearing this, Ji Shi's eyes trembled violently. She recalled how spirited she was when she first entered the academy.
Ji Shi calmed down and said coldly, "What does it matter? In the end, don't you still hope that I will bring you benefits?"
"You're such an idiot! What do we get out of your efforts? I don't care about you anymore, go or don't go, we'll just stop being friends!" The girl in green felt that her words had hurt Ji Shi, so she was in a great hurry when she went to find her.
But seeing that Ji Shi remained stubbornly unconvinced even after hearing so much, she became angry.
...
On the other side, Xu Yuehuai first followed Fu Jia to the Talisman Mountain Peak.
Dean Fu Jia wasn't good at naming things, so she used something she was good at as a name.
“There are two peaks on this mountain. One is my place, and the other is yours and your senior brother’s.” Fu Jia led the way, introducing the mountain to Xu Yuehuai. “You should know who your senior brother is, right? He’s Quan Cang, who hosted the freshman assembly this year.”
Fu Jia didn't think this was anything special. She continued, "You usually live on this mountain peak."
Xu Yuehuai looked in the direction Fu Jiazhi was pointing. The mountain peak was very simple, and the houses were nothing special in appearance. They were inconspicuous and somewhat shabby, certainly not as nice as those on Siyue Mountain.
Xu Yuehuai showed no particular emotion, simply nodding.
Quan Cang came down from the mountain at this time and saw the two of them. He was a little surprised. He knew that Dean Guo wanted to take Xu Yuehuai as his disciple. At that time, Dean Guo had used a lot of benefits to persuade him not to tell his master.
"Master, who is this...?" Quan Cang had an answer in his mind, but he wasn't quite sure. After all, he really couldn't imagine what kind of ability his master would use to snatch the treasure that he valued so much from Dean Guo.
"This is your junior sister. You will have the opportunity to study together in the future." Fu Jia and Guo Yanzhi had not yet discussed the timing of Xu Yuehuai learning these two skills.
"Greetings, Senior Brother." Xu Yuehuai bowed respectfully to Quan Cang.
Quan Cang waved his hand and said, "There's no need for so many restrictions here. We don't have that many rules here."
Xu Yuehuai smiled, as gentle as a breeze.
Quan Cang was captivated by her smile. If he had less self-control, he would have been completely drawn to his junior sister's appearance.
"Alright, let's talk about this later. I'll take your junior sister to see where she lives first." With that, Dean Fu Jia turned and left.
Ji Yuanchi then went to Siyue Mountain Peak with Dean Guo.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..." Dean Guo kept groaning all the way.
Ji Yuanchi followed behind her, pouting and fidgeting with her fingers. Her two braids swayed from side to side as she walked, making her look incredibly cute.
Her face looked pitiful, and her mind wasn't on that at all.
Dean Guo felt the same way. With Xu Yuehuai not by his side, he was now afraid that Fu Jia would completely steal his apprentice's heart. "Why hasn't your senior sister come back yet? Has she encountered some danger?"
The danger that Dean Guo perceived in his mind was Fu Jia.
Ji Yuanchi muttered under her breath, "What danger is there in this academy? I think the most dangerous people are you and Dean Fu Jia."
Dean Guo was completely focused on Xu Yuehuai and didn't hear what Ji Yuanchi was saying. He asked, "What are you muttering about? Speak louder."
"I was wondering when my senior sister is coming back. I miss her." Ji Yuanchi pouted, not daring to voice what she had just been thinking.
Dean Guo's eyes lit up. "You miss your senior sister too, right? How about we go find her?"
As he spoke, Dean Guo led Ji Yuanchi to Fuzhou Mountain to find Xu Yuehuai.
Fu Jia knew what he wanted to do just by looking at him.
They didn't make things difficult for anyone, letting them go easily, and discussed confirming Xu Yuehuai's class schedule for tomorrow.
Xu Yuehuai returned to the courtyard she had been in before, and lying on the bed, she felt that something was missing these past two days.
It seemed like she hadn't seen that man in a long time.
Xu Yuehuai took out the jade pendant and held it up to the moonlight, trying to figure something out.
She touched the texture on it, but found that there was a spot that was very difficult to touch.
She touched it back and forth, and a scratch appeared on her hand. Only then did she realize that the jade pendant was broken.
Xu Yuehua frowned, sat up from the bed, and noticed some blood from her fingers on the jade pendant. She picked up a handkerchief from the side and was about to wipe the blood off.
The next second, the blood simply vanished.
Xu Yuehuai watched this scene, turning it left and right, confirming that the reason the blood had disappeared completely was because it had been absorbed by the jade pendant.
She placed her cut, still bleeding finger on the jade pendant again. The blood stained the jade pendant, but disappeared again within seconds.
At the same time, the jade pendant emitted a faint light in the darkness, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathered on the jade pendant.
Yuan Shui, inside the space, saw this scene and stared intently at the jade pendant. It seemed to remember something, but that memory was still hazy.
At that moment, the man far away felt the intense heat emanating from the jade pendant. His brow furrowed, and he vanished from his spot in an instant. "Where is the Venerable One? Why did he suddenly disappear?"
"Please be patient, everyone. His Excellency has matters to attend to, so we will set up camp here first," a man dressed in black, different from the others, spoke up.
The marks on the jade pendant miraculously disappeared after absorbing Xu Yuehuai's blood.
Xu Yuehuai began to recall when she had bumped into the jade pendant, but after thinking it over, she realized that she hadn't been in any fights in the past few days, so the jade pendant couldn't have been damaged by an external force.
Unless... something happened to the owner of this jade pendant.
Jade pendants tend to recognize their owners after being kept for a long time. Xu Yuehuai wondered if something had happened to Qi Guze.
She tried to calm herself down.
