Chapter 93 A few trivial matters flow like water
The next day, Yun Congxin slept until late morning before being woken up by Yaoye.
It wasn't up to him to tell Xiao Yan about the Fallen Heart Flame. After Canaan Academy reached a conclusion, Elder Su Qian would personally inform him.
This is a favor between Canaan Academy and Xiao Yan, and he cannot get involved.
"I've been busy these past few days and haven't had a chance to check on you. How are you getting along with Elder Qing and the students at the academy's temporary refuge? Also, what's with your clothes?"
After waking up, Yun Congxin rinsed his mouth with tea while looking at Yao Ye, who was dressed in strange clothes.
Seeing Yun Congxin's puzzled expression, Yao Ye explained softly, "We got along very well. Although the people in the academy are all self-important, they treat guests quite well. This outfit is the uniform of a small faction among the students in the inner academy. We have a good relationship with the leader of that faction, and she gave each of us a set. Wearing it will save us a lot of trouble..."
"A small force? What's its name?" Yun Congxin spat out the tea in his mouth and asked in confusion.
He didn't recall any faction in the original text specifying uniforms; weren't they all just badges?
"It's called 'Moon Spirits,' an all-girls faction." Yao Ye blinked, then suddenly added, "Their leader, Han Yue, is a great beauty..."
Yun Congxin doesn't remember what Yue Ling is, but he remembers Han Yue.
The most beautiful woman in the inner courtyard, with silver hair, silver clothes, and a high ponytail, a tall, mature woman with obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.
"Ahem..." Yun Congxin coughed awkwardly twice and said, "You go out first and call everyone over. I'll change my clothes and then go out."
Thirty minutes later, Yun Congxin arrived in the courtyard.
At this moment, Nalan Yanran, Yaoyue Yaoye, Liu Fuyao, Guhe, and Elder Qing had all arrived.
Yun Congxin glanced around, his gaze finally settling on Liu Fuyao, whose eyes were alluring, and smiled gently at her.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business," Yun Congxin said, getting straight to the point. "I'm truly sorry, Elder Qing, there was a little mishap that caused a delay."
Although Elder Qing could not discern Yun Congxin's current strength, he could clearly sense that Yun's aura was far stronger than before, so he politely assured Elder Qing that it was no problem.
"We'll be parting ways for the next while," Yun Congxin said. "Yaoye, do you remember when I told you to roam the Black Corner Region?"
"Remember, your cultivation isn't over until you kill the leader of the Eight Gates," Yao Ye said respectfully.
"Alright, then make the preparations. I won't be in the Black Corner Region for a while, so please be careful." Yun Congxin nodded in satisfaction.
"Mr. Guhe, I'll trouble you to look after things for the next day," Yun Congxin said to Guhe.
Gu He cupped his hands in greeting: "Sect Master Yun, rest assured, Gu He will do his best."
"Six-star Grand Dou Master, huh, Yanran?" After arranging things for Yaoye, Yun Congxin brought up another person's matter, "How does it feel to be surrounded by people your own age in the inner courtyard?"
The once somewhat arrogant Nalan Yanran, having encountered many young people far more outstanding than herself here, has naturally had much of her arrogance worn away. Leaving aside others, the mere presence of Han Yue, a six-star Dou Ling, was enough to discourage her.
So Nalan Yanran was a little disappointed. She said rather embarrassedly, "There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Grandmaster, this continent is so amazing!"
"Yes, this continent is much more exciting than the Gama Empire." Yun Congxin nodded and said, "It's good that you understand this. It's worth it for me to bring you on these trips."
After praising her, Yun Congxin used his fighting spirit to transmit a message to her, assigning her a task.
"Has the Yunlan Sect fallen to such a state?" Nalan Yanran's expression turned solemn as she thought in surprise.
"How have you been these days, Xiaoyue'er?" Yun Congxin ignored Nalan Yanran, who was lost in thought, and turned to the next person.
Yao Yue was grinning from ear to ear, her beautiful big eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, clearly she was having a great time.
"This is wonderful! There are no nannies to keep me in check here, and no one to nag me about those rules anymore. I'm so happy!"
"Have you made any progress in your battle qi and alchemy skills lately?" Yun Congxin asked with a smile.
"Forehead..."
"Could it be that you've been so focused on playing that you haven't been training at all?"
Yao Yue's smile froze. She scratched her face and looked away.
"Sigh, it's impossible to expect you to be self-disciplined." Yun Congxin sighed. He felt that this girl was exactly like him, both having a playful nature that was rare in the Dou Qi Continent.
"The inner courtyard is filled with powerful individuals, all your peers. Don't you feel any sense of crisis?"
"It's alright, I've competed in alchemy with the leader of that Medicine Gang, and he might not even be able to beat me..." Yaoyue muttered under her breath.
"You're quite the rare alchemy prodigy, aren't you? How do you compare to Xiao Yan?" Yun Congxin raised an eyebrow. He remembered that the leader of the Medicine Clan was a fourth-grade alchemist. How come he's not even as good as Yao Yue?
Yao Yue immediately wilted. She pouted and lay on the table, feigning dissatisfaction, saying, "Who can compare to that monster..."
The genius corrector is really useful; Xiao Yan can suppress and subdue geniuses that others can't.
"I understand, Master. I will try my best," Yaoyue said with a sly smile.
"Cough cough cough, what did you call me?" Yun Congxin was almost killed by the sip of tea he had just drunk. He asked after coughing for a while.
"Master, didn't you get us from Grandfather to be your maids? According to the rules, of course we should call you master," Yaoyue said, winking.
Yun Congxin clearly felt that Gu He's gaze towards him had changed, and Elder Qing beside him also showed an expression of "I knew it."
And over there, Liu Fuyao, with her phoenix eyes full of spring and her alluring gaze, clearly had misunderstood.
You little brat, you think you can control me like this?
Yun Congxin grinned, squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Very well, then when I return from the Heavenly Serpent Palace, I'll check your battle qi cultivation and alchemy skills. If you haven't reached the level of Battle Spirit and a fifth-grade alchemist, I'll truly make you a bedchamber maid!"
Now Yaoyue really couldn't laugh anymore.
Yun Congxin waved to stop Yao Ye from speaking, then looked at the next person: "Fu Yao, come with me to the Northwest Continent."
Liu Fuyao's beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness, as if they were brimming with water. She nodded slightly and said, "This servant obeys."
"Then it's settled. Is there anything else? If not, everyone can leave."
"Grandmaster, there is one more small matter." After everyone left, Nalan Yanran walked to Yun Congxin's side and whispered, "Miss Xiao Yu wishes to see you."
