Cixi was startled. Entering the second floor was no easy feat; at least with his current strength, it was simply impossible. A look of disappointment flashed in her eyes. "Then don't forget me after you go to the second floor! Remember to come back and visit often!"
At that moment, Cixi longed for a young husband who had been abandoned. Ji Yue's house was nearby, and the three of them went out shopping and having fun together. Before dark, Xu Yuehuai left.
She didn't tell Yueying that she had plenty of time to return to the academy, so she didn't need Yueying's method at all. She thought Yueying must be extremely busy right now.
The effects of the Meridian Clearing Pill are clearly described in that book. The person that Yueying went to so much trouble to save must not be an ordinary person. The effects of the Meridian Clearing Pill usually last for a day, accompanied by a period of pain and weakness. Yueying must stay by that person's side without leaving for a moment.
...
"Tell me why your senior sister hasn't come back yet? She's been out wandering around for over a month, and the second-level election is about to begin. She's only been learning alchemy for a month! And she's also learning talismans at the same time! How can this be allowed!" For the first month, Dean Guo was relatively calm, but after a month, he started to feel anxious every day, hoping that Xu Yuehuai would return soon.
After Xu Yuehuai left, Ji Yuanchi reverted to her aloof, gentle, and polite self as the young lady of the Pu family. During this month, her brothers did manage to visit her briefly, but Old Master Pu, worried that a meeting would only add to the sadness, did not come and only wrote a letter.
Ding He initially sought out Xu Yuehuai, hoping to build a good relationship with her and ask her about cultivation. The reason he didn't approach Shi Zhiyu was that after entering the academy, they hadn't seen him at all, and inquiries yielded no information. Only a handful of new students knew that this man, who had shone brightly in the freshman assessment, was second only to Xu Yuehuai!
After Ding He failed to find Xu Yuehuai several times, Yu Er began to mock him, thinking that Ding He was trying to curry favor with Xu Yuehuai and wanted to rise to the top. These remarks caused Ding He and Yu Er to have a cold war for many days.
When Jin Nan first entered the academy, he took good care of his junior brothers and sisters. However, after he took a new master and saw the new world, he felt that Ding He and Yu Er were not worthy to be his junior brothers and sisters. He had a new sect and new junior brothers and sisters, so he stopped paying attention to Ding He and Yu Er and they became complete strangers.
After Ji Shi cleared up the misunderstanding with her friends, she seriously studied weapon crafting under Dean Changsun. She had a talent for weapon crafting, but she had previously only wanted to enter the Alchemy Academy, so she neglected her weapon crafting training.
...
While Ji Yuanchi was practicing alchemy, Dean Guo, holding a book in his hand, looked worried and sighed, "I wonder where your senior sister is now, whether she is in danger, and whether she can come back before the election. She attaches great importance to this election. If she comes back earlier, she can continue to learn from me for a few more days!"
Ji Yuanchi heard these words every day, and she felt like her ears were calloused. However, since the other party was her master, she couldn't show her temper. She also missed Xu Yuehuai very much, but she didn't dare to say it. She could only silently look forward to Xu Yuehuai's return.
On the way north, Xu Yuehuai had a lot of fun and acquired many good things, which took her quite a while. On the way back, she was obviously in a hurry, and since she had just acquired a lot of good things, she didn't linger on the road and quickened her pace.
Xu Yuehuai finally returned to Qingcheng half a month before the second-level election. Standing under the city wall, looking at the long-lost streets and alleys, she felt as if she had been through another world. The events that happened in the North City were still vivid in her mind.
Xu Yuehuai didn't rush back to the academy. She strolled around the streets for a while, buying a lot of everyday necessities before returning. When she arrived at the academy, there were two people guarding the gate. The two men looked at Xu Yuehuai's face and felt that it looked familiar, but for a moment they couldn't remember where they had seen her before. According to the rules, they stopped Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai took out her token from her spatial storage. It was a very special token, the only one of its kind in the academy. However, because she was the apprentice of both Dean Guo and Dean Fu Jia, neither of them was willing to give in, so they designed a new token for Xu Yuehuai.
"You...you are Senior Sister Xu Yuehuai!" The gatekeeper exclaimed upon seeing the token. He recognized it, and his exclamation drew the attention of many people around. They saw Xu Yuehuai dressed in red, the hem of her dress swaying in the breeze, adding a unique charm to her appearance.
Xu Yuehuai smiled slightly and replied politely, "Yes, hello."
The junior students guarding the gate were very excited. They had heard rumors about Xu Yuehuai for a long time, but had never been able to meet him. Now that they had met him in person, they were so excited that they almost jumped for joy.
"Is this Senior Xu? The one who was taken in as a disciple by the two deans? She's incredibly beautiful!"
"I've finally met Senior Xu! I heard that Senior Xu has signed up for the second-floor election competition, and Dean Guo and Dean Fu Jia are both giving her a lot of support because of it!"
...
The surrounding chatter did not affect Xu Yuehuai at all. She retrieved her token and walked into the academy. Her striking appearance attracted the attention of many disciples, but she ignored them and returned to Siyue Peak.
The disciples guarding the foot of Siyue Mountain were the same as before. They were overjoyed to see Xu Yuehuai return and immediately wanted to tell Dean Guo the good news, but Xu Yuehuai told them not to say it yet.
So Dean Guo and Ji Yuanchi on the mountain were still kept in the dark. They longed for Xu Yuehuai, unaware that she had already reached the foot of the mountain.
"Tell me about your senior sister, she really doesn't care about me at all! If it weren't for that, how could she not come back to see me for so long! She even said she wanted to go to the second floor! With her negative attitude, I think she should wait another four years!" Dean Guo looked at the remaining half month and realized that he still had so much to teach Xu Yuehuai. Thinking about this, he got angry and started cursing.
"Master, why are you so angry? What did I do wrong that you would say such harsh words to me?" Xu Yuehuai did not expect to hear her master's dissatisfaction with her as soon as she came up.
Dean Guo and Ji Yuanchi were both stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the door of the alchemy room, where Xu Yuehuai was standing!
"Yueyue!" Ji Yuanchi, abandoning her usual composure, suddenly threw herself at Xu Yuehuai, hugging her tightly, her face filled with undisguised excitement.
