Chapter 16: Returning to the Clan After the Annual Examination



How could his best friend be having a secret behind his back?

Wan Qiji, carrying his broadsword, glanced at them with a bewildered look before turning away, seemingly uninterested.

The group soon saw the current scene of Sui Village. The senior brothers and sisters dressed in the robes of the Wenjian Sect were busy. The village chief and Er Ya were busy running around. When they saw them return, they ran over with joy.

"Fairy Sister!"

Song Tingwan smiled and squatted down to catch Er Ya as she ran over.

After recovering, the little girl was full of energy and rushed over like a little firecracker, but she stopped abruptly when she was almost in front of Song Tingwan, and then slowly threw herself into Song Tingwan's arms.

The fairy sister looked unwell, like when they were sick before. She was afraid that if she was too strong, the fairy sister wouldn't be able to catch her.

Song Tingwan gently patted the little girl's head, her heart softening, and she carefully picked the little girl up.

"The matter is resolved, and Er Ya can drink water without worry from now on."

Before that, Pei Xiang'an talked with the village chief and his senior brother and learned that Sui Village would be taken over by the Wenjian Sect, and the villagers who had been affected by the river water had also received pills from the Wenjian Sect.

With the capture of the mythical beast, the source of the river is no longer affected, but the complex five elements at the bottom of the river need to be cleared away, though some disciples have already gone to take on the task.

Song Tingwan and her group stayed behind to help with some of the work, after which their senior brother reminded them that it was time to leave.

If they linger any longer, they will fall behind in their annual exams.

When they left, the villagers of Sui Village managed to cobble together a basket of spiritual plants with faint spiritual energy.

The village chief rubbed his hands together and apologized apologetically, "Our village is poor, and we really can't afford spirit stones and other good things. But these people were all saved by several immortals, so I decided to have them gather all the herbs they've dug up over the years and see if the immortals can use them."

They were all ordinary people, unable to even distinguish between spiritual plants and ordinary herbs, but they knew which herbs could fetch a good price in the nearby city, so they gathered the most valuable ones into a basket.

This is the most expensive item that the entire Sui Village has managed to scrape together.

As if afraid they would look down on him, the village chief lowered his head after speaking, unconsciously rubbing Er Ya's head beside his leg, not daring to lift his head.

Pei Xiang'an glanced at it and understood.

What the villagers usually despise as something to be used by children for alchemy is actually their most prized possession.

He smiled sincerely, "That's exactly what we need. Thank you all, you've been a great help."

Baili Xijiang looked up and pursed his lips as if to say something, but Qin Xi pinched his arm to stop him from speaking.

Wan Qiji still stood behind them with his knife on his back, silently, like a bodyguard Song Tingwan had seen in her past life.

Song Tingwan smiled, went over to the basket, took a few seeds and looked them over, echoing Pei Xiang'an: "They are indeed needed, thank you for your help, village chief and everyone."

The village chief knew she was a cultivator specializing in alchemy, and only after hearing her explanation did he truly breathe a sigh of relief. "It's good that the immortals don't mind, it's good that they don't mind."

Qin Xi felt sorry for her, but didn't say anything, thinking she would send a letter home later.

We met by chance, and since we've met, I'll help if I can.

I have a clear conscience.

Before leaving, the senior brother also came to take a look. After exchanging a few words with Pei Xiang'an, his gaze lingered on the woman who was softly saying goodbye to Er Ya.

As soon as he arrived in Sui Village, he began to investigate the situation. Er Ya had previously grown a pair of rat ears, but recovered after taking the medicine given by Song Tingwan.

He was astonished that a newly initiated outer disciple had mastered a third-grade pill formula so quickly. He consulted a fellow alchemist who was accompanying him, who said that according to the current teaching schedule of the outer sect, this pill formula was not taught.

Perhaps they are exceptionally gifted, or perhaps they are from powerful families with no shortage of elixirs.

If these disciples encounter their junior brothers and sisters taking the annual exam, they need to record the performance of each of them in this matter. Since this junior sister's performance in this matter was mediocre, they will help her record the matter of that pill.

This should earn them some points for their kind-hearted junior brothers and sisters.

.

Leaving Sui Village, we still used Qin Xi's pink flying carpet.

The lotus boat can only accommodate two to three people.

We squeezed in a little more and barely managed to have four people.

After protesting, Baili Xijiang swallowed his anger and obediently sat on the flying carpet.

Looking at the map, Pei Xiang'an asked, "Should we continue north?"

"The fact that the Sui Village incident is counted in the results is a good sign. I agree to continue heading north." Qin Xi thought for a moment, then agreed first.

Wanqiji disliked that the strips of cloth wrapping the giant sword were messy, so he took them off again and carefully wrapped them around the sword. "I have no objection."

Baili Xijiang lay on his back with his legs crossed, a thin leaf he had found somewhere dangling from his mouth. He would chew it occasionally and taste its sweetness.

"Either is fine, either is fine, you decide."

The remaining one is Song Tingwan.

Pei Xiang'an, holding the map, looked at her.

The flying carpet moved slowly, and a gentle breeze caressed my face.

Song Tingwan was looking at the spirit net when she heard this and said with a light smile, "Then let's continue north and see if we can encounter anything that fits the annual examination."

Pei Xiang'an nodded, carefully examined the map, and discussed the route with Qin Xi, who was controlling the pink flying carpet.

The others continued with their own business, appearing even more relaxed than they would have been at the sect.

.

A month has passed since Sui Village.

Song Tingwan and her companions walked through villages, passed through towns, and even entered cities.

Even in this remote north, many fellow disciples came to compete for it, either because they arrived too late or couldn't find events that offered more bonus points.

However, he also helped many people with some minor issues in the process.

For example, a female ghost who sings scary songs in the outhouse every day, or a monster that likes to steal children.

With so many things going smoothly, Pei Xiang'an did some calculations that day and discovered she actually had enough points.
