"The academy hasn't been peaceful lately, why don't you go back?" Ji Jiuying frowned slightly as she looked at Wen Longting and Bai Mengfan.
“We…we’ll stay and play with Miaoqing.”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Ji Jiuying glanced at them helplessly, seeing through their little schemes perfectly.
"Little Jiu, I never expected that your cultivation level would have already surpassed ours. I'm not even sure if I'll ever reach the Spirit Saint level in this lifetime," Wen Longxiu said with a smile.
"Ah Xiu, believe in yourself. Your talent is more than enough to reach the level of a Spirit Saint."
"Little Jiu, why are you cultivating so fast? Hehe, is there any secret?"
Wen Longting rubbed her hands together and chuckled, but before she could be happy for two seconds, Ji Jiuying gently tapped her on the head.
“There’s no shortcut to cultivation. You can only rely on more cultivation and more battles. Stop thinking about these things all day long. You should just cultivate steadily, one step at a time.”
Wen Longting touched her nose. "Okay."
"By the way, where is Chu Yu?" Ji Jiuying asked.
“My senior brother and my father went to the academy gate,” Shen Miaoqing said.
"Let's go check it out."
The group walked slowly toward the entrance of Star Academy.
On the way, Bai Mengfan told them that the Western Jin emperor had sent his second princess, Murong Yue, to Jialan as a princess for a political marriage, while his third princess, Murong Ning, was also sent to Cangyue as a princess for a political marriage.
This surprised Ji Jiuying. Was the Western Jin Dynasty trying to curry favor with Cangyue?
But she hadn't heard a word about the marriage alliance.
However, since leaving the academy for vacation, she has been either cultivating or leveling up by fighting monsters, and knows nothing about what is happening in the outside world.
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
The group arrived at the entrance of Star Academy, where they saw a dense crowd of people.
A transparent barrier separated the two groups.
"Look, isn't that girl in red Princess Anping of Cangyue?"
Those with sharp eyes noticed the arrival of Ji Jiuying and her group.
"That's true."
"He is such a rare talent at such a young age."
"Indeed, she has both divine artifacts and dragons, and that peerless spiritual treasure, the Twin Lotus Blossoms, is still in her possession..."
"······"
The crowd surged instantly, buzzing with discussion, and greedy and malicious gazes all focused on Ji Jiuying.
Twin lotus blossoms? That's a legendary, unparalleled spiritual treasure. How could it exist in this world? Xin Yao narrowed her eyes, her attitude skeptical.
But curiosity led her to look at the Princess Anping that everyone was talking about.
A woman in a blood-red dress came into her view, with a matching ribbon around her waist that accentuated her slender waist. Her long black hair was simply tied up with a hairpin.
Her lips were a touch of crimson, her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting. Her face was free of makeup, yet she was breathtakingly beautiful. The blood lotus between her eyebrows and eyes added a touch of bewitching charm to her unparalleled beauty.
Xin Yao's expression flickered slightly. This woman was indeed incredibly beautiful, but she would never admit in her heart that this woman was more beautiful than her.
However, she was a little curious whether the woman named Ji Jiuying was more beautiful than the one in front of her.
At this moment, she regretted her impulsiveness. She had rushed to the lower plane without asking Yuezhu for a portrait. Upon arriving here, before she could investigate anything, she heard about the artifact and hurried over.
After all, she had a mission to complete, and who could resist the temptation of a divine artifact? Her intuition told her that she was likely to run into the Venerable One here, and she might also encounter the woman named Ji Jiuying.
She wanted to see what charm Ji Jiuying possessed that dared to compete with her for the Venerable One. Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Xin Yao's eyes.
Perhaps it was because her gaze was too intense, Ji Jiuying noticed something and her clear eyes met Xin Yao's.
Xin Yao had to admit that the woman's eyes were extremely beautiful, and a trace of jealousy flashed through her heart, but... she couldn't see through the woman's cultivation level, and an inexplicable sense of crisis spread from the depths of her heart.
Xin Yao narrowed her phoenix eyes. She had heard everything the group of people were saying. The woman had a dragon, a divine artifact, and twin lotus flowers. If the things on her were real, then Xin Yao would kill her without hesitation.
Ji Jiuying also scrutinized the woman in white. Who was this woman? She was incredibly beautiful, the most beautiful woman she had ever seen since she came to this world. However, she had just seen hostility in her eyes.
She thought and thought, but she had never seen this woman before. Could it be because of the divine artifact she possessed or the twin lotus flowers?
No matter what, as long as she doesn't provoke her, it's fine.
"Vice Dean Shen, I advise you to take the initiative to remove the great formation. Otherwise, once the fairy breaks the formation, this divine-level formation will cease to exist."
The speaker said, feigning regret.
Everyone present now revolves around Xin Yao. After what happened with the old man, no one dares to say a bad word about her, especially since she is the only one capable of breaking this divine-level formation.
"Vice Dean Shen, there's no need to pay attention to these people's provocations. Since it's a god-level formation, how could it be broken so easily?"
Ji Jiuying glanced coldly at the people outside, and everyone instantly felt an invisible pressure pressing down on them, making their breathing become heavier.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xin Yao's eyes. Looking at Princess Anping, who was only fourteen years old, it was indeed quite remarkable that she possessed such talent. At least in this world, she could be considered a strong person.
However, how dare she underestimate her? So what if it's a divine-level array? As long as she has enough time, it's no problem at all. She is the strongest array master in the Nine Heavens Divine Palace.
Shen Qingqiu nodded and asked, "Where's Old Man Yu? He wouldn't have disappeared again for something this big, would he?"
"No, Master is busy. He will come when he's done. We'll stay here just in case."
Everyone nodded, but Leng Yuelan had some ulterior motives. At this time, the Dean was still busy with other things. What could be more important than the safety of the academy?
Leng Yuelan's mind raced. Could it be that the existence of the divine artifact was true? Was the Dean busy hiding it away?
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. What if she knew where that divine artifact was hidden right now...?
Having made up her mind, Leng Yuelan smiled slightly and quietly left while everyone's attention was focused on the front.
Leng Yuelan arrived at the empty hall and looked around.
Sure enough, she discovered the secret passage. Leng Yuelan was overjoyed and entered the bottomless passage with a nervous heart.
After walking for a while, a bright light appeared ahead. Leng Yuelan's heart pounded. She had a strong premonition that the artifact must be here. She quickened her pace and walked cautiously.
Gong Mingyue's cold eyes snapped open, his divine sense probing into the secret passage.
At this moment, Yu Bugui and Jin Chenzi opened their eyes at the same time.
Leng Yuelan also appeared at the entrance of the secret passage. She was shocked by the scene before her, covered her mouth, and stared wide-eyed.
That's it, that's it!
