The teacher's grandfather looked at Qing Yue'er curiously. The girl looked radiant when she saw it. Maybe because he really found the answer. Then the girl asked, "Did the teacher's grandfather see a carving of lanhua or a three-petalled orchid on the surface of the stone box?"
Both of the teacher's grandfather's eyebrows instantly raised. "Did your answer point to that flower?"
Qing Yue'er nodded. "That's right. Snow Orchid. A 'white' orchid that is also 'beautiful.' He did not live in an arid place, but above a plateau that could likely be said to be 'above a valley.'" Qing Yue'er's feelings became so enthusiastic. "He did not live like a normal human being and that's why he was 'holy' because it was far from earthly life."
The teacher's grandfather was instantly shocked to hear Qing Yue'er's analysis. He still didn't believe it so he asked, "Then?"
Qing Yue'er continued. "However, he has an 'arogan.' attitude.' Yes, he was arrogant because he felt he was the highest of the others. No, not just that. I think this is definitely not a simple orchid. Maybe he had something so extraordinary that it made him feel so arrogant. Something that other creatures desperately need!"
The teacher nodded his head. He was speechless for a while. Then he felt everything made sense. What the girl explained was completely in accordance with the stipulations that were definitely written inside the stone box.
"Can I see something inside the stone box?" ask the teacher.
Qing Yue'er did not feel any doubt. Then he took out a piece of worn paper from the empty air. He handed it to the teacher's grandfather. "Guru's grandfather should check on him."
The old man took a small scroll from Qing Yue'er's hand and opened it slowly. The writing there is written in a simple and very short way. It was exactly the same as the girl said.
"Standing above the valley, he is the most holy thing. She's white and beautiful. Unfortunately, his attitude was too arrogant."
Qing Yue'er was waiting for what the master teacher's grandfather would say. He did not think that he had found this answer. He shouldn't be wrong. He was so sure. He did not know where the flower was. However, he remained convinced, it must be a valuable object.
Actually, many can represent the puzzle. However, he had thought about it carefully. Only a plant will remain 'holy' without sin. Humans and animals make more mistakes during their lifetime. So the most possible is the plant and in the lid of the stone box itself there is a carving of orchid flowers.
The teacher's grandfather cleared his throat and cut off all the way of Qing Yue'er's mind. Then he smiled. "I agree with your thoughts. Everything makes sense."
Qing Yue'er sighed and leaned her back on the back of the chair. "The problem is we never know if the plant really exists and where it is located."
The teacher's grandfather chuckled and returned the paper scroll to Qing Yue'er. "I myself have just heard of this kind of thing. Is this person named Hua trustworthy? We never know."
Qing Yue'er's lips shriveled. Actually he has a little faith if all this is not a lie. Moreover, judging from the message left by the person named Hua on the wall of the stone house. It was as if that person indeed wanted to pass something on to the destined person. That should be true.
"However, you've made a lot of effort even to meet me here. I'm sure Han Qiong doesn't even know of your arrival to this place right?" The smiling master grandfather looked at Qing Yue'er. "Don't stop at what you've started. If you are sure it really exists then continue your efforts. Who will know on the path of destiny?"
Qing Yue'er seemed to have gotten a whole new spirit. He was happy that the old man supported him. Finally he nodded with spirit. "I will definitely find a three-petalled Snow Orchid."
"good. My granddaughter should be like that" said the teacher's grandfather happily.
Qing Yue'er kept her paper scroll. Then he thought about someone and intended to ask the teacher's grandfather. The old man should have known him. "Grandfather, I want to ask you about someone."
"Who?"
"Cloud Fairies. Did Grandpa Master know him?" qing Yue'er asked. His face looked at the old man in front of him curiously.
"That woman?" The teacher stared into the distance. "I know, I know him, too."
Qing Yue'er's heart beat rapidly. As she had guessed. Strong and hard to find existences like Cloud Fairies were indeed only known by people who were just as powerful. Like this teacher's grandfather. Even his students find it difficult to meet him.
"So where are the Cloud Fairies located?" qing Yue'er asked.
The teacher's grandfather looked at Qing Yue'er in surprise. "Why are you looking for him?"
"My friend was taken away by him long enough. I can't just let it go." Qing Yue'er replied seriously.
"He actually came to see me a few times. Yeah, but that was a few days ago. Now I don't know where he is. She's a really tough woman. I mean ... You yourself must feel that woman is too arrogant right?" The teacher's grandfather looked at Qing Yue'er and gave his assessment to the Cloud Fairies.
Qing Yue'er nodded with certainty. "He was difficult. I wonder why he didn't let others see his whereabouts. Even if it just passes in the air. Really ridiculous."
The teacher's grandfather laughed at Qing Yue'er's words. He already knew about the arrogant attitude of Cloud Fairies. However, he himself did not have any relationship with the woman so he did not feel that he should reprimand her. Besides, his origin was also too mysterious. The depth of his strength was not so clear.
"Indeed Cloud Fairies brought along a young man who seemed to be several years older than you. And the young man also has good talent," said the teacher's grandfather.
Qing Yue'er raised both her eyebrows. He felt the old man's judgment was too high. He had known Qi Rong for a long time and the man was not so superior in his talent. Perhaps when compared to others Qi Rong was indeed superior, but when compared to the Central Plains people, that man was not so good. Was it true that the person that grandfather teacher saw was Qi Rong whom he meant?
He didn't mean to take down that slacker. However, he always judged things realistically. Could it be that his friend had already improved from having followed Cloud Fairies for a while? If so, that's a good thing. However, if the person that grandfather teacher saw was not Qi Rong then ....
Qing Yue'er brushed off her mind that was already going nowhere. He looked at the teacher's grandfather and asked, "Then did he possibly come back here?"
"Nobody knows. If you want it then I'll send you a message when the woman visits, "teacher's grandfather said. Turns out he's a good old man.
"That's great then. I will definitely wait for news from the teacher's grandfather. Mmm, but please don't let Cloud Fairies know."
Qing Yue'er nodded happily. He thought now that his business was done so he was getting ready to leave. "Grandfather, thank you for helping me."
"I'm not helping you, you're finding your own answers. I just solved my curiosity," said the teacher calmly. He was actually pleased with the visit of the girl. It turned out that there was someone so talented and intelligent-brained like that.
"Then Xinyu will leave now. Greetings from your grandson." Qing Yue'er got up and bowed to the real master grandfather she herself did not know what his name was. Then he turned around and walked out of the closed room.
The teacher's grandfather looked at the young girl's back who was moving away. His eyes flashed with anticipation. He did not know why when he saw the girl there was another unspeakable feeling. Even his aura alone had felt different since approaching this building.
He had tried to probe into Qing Yue'er, trying to pry her secrets. However, it's too difficult. No, there was indeed something else inside the girl's body. He sensed the aura of a divine beast mingling and another aura that was too faint.
Finally he saw the girl who disappeared after stepping through the doorway. Ah, it seems like he can't know more.
Qing Yue'er looked at Shangguan You who was still waiting for her at the original place. The man's expression implied a lot of questions and confusion. He must have wanted to know what he had talked about with the teacher's grandfather.
Sure enough, upon seeing his arrival Shangguan You immediately asked, "What are you guys talking about? Why so long?"
"A lot," Qing Yue'er said, "about what my name is and how I could end up being Han's teacher's student." Qing Yue'er chuckled mysteriously. "Actually he treated me quite well, probably because I was Han's only teacher's student."
Shangguan You looked at Qing Yue'er with a probing look. He doubted the truth. How could his teacher waste his time just listening to this girl's babble. However, he was also astonished at not being able to see the lies from Qing Yue'er's expression.
She knew very well how her teacher behaved and she was also convinced that this girl must have been just looking for an alibi. He became afraid himself. This girl is good at acting and it is something that can be quite scary. He snorted and asked, "Did the teacher not give me a message? Maybe he wants to see me?"
Qing Yue'er shook her head and crushed Shangguan You's hope. "No, he didn't say anything about you."
Shangguan You could only sigh. "Then let's go now."
Qing Yue'er nodded and followed Shangguan You back. He would be lost if he did not have someone to lead the way. He stared at the sea of clouds that made him feel calm. Maybe in the future he will come again to this place.

On the other hand the Heavenly Academy had become quite hot. The disciples who had fire spirit beasts had already returned from the interrogation session. They were all unhappy with the academy's actions. It turned out that all of those spirit beast tests had the purpose of investigating Ling Suyao's death. This truth instantly spread and made the other disciples feel displeased.
It was already established in the rules if the disciple who died or had an accident at the time of the spirit biantang hunt would not be in question. Whether it was because of being killed or something else, the academy shouldn't have broken that rule. Was it because the one who died was Ling Suyao so the academy was unwilling to let him just like that?
"What if it was Ling Suyao? Has Niu Ren ordered all this? I really don't believe."
"Who would know if it was Niu Ren or even Teacher He? I think it must be Teacher He, he who loves his students very much right?
"Ah, don't talk about it anymore. I was furious, but I was glad that there was not a single beast belonging to the disciples that was proven to have killed Ling Suyao."
"really? That's good then. So your animals are innocent."
Many students talk about this. They feel dissatisfied and can only grumble with other friends. However, on the other hand there was someone who felt extremely angry. That was teacher He. Right now he was facing Niu Ren and discussing everything.
"There's no results. None of the fire beasts were proven to have attacked Ling Suyao" He Jin said. He looked at Niu Ren with annoyance. That was because the man already looked less enthusiastic.
"Then isn't it possible that Ling Suyao's death wasn't due to an academy student?" Niu Ren asked calmly.
"Who would know? Maybe he's hiding his crimes smartly." He Jin crossed his arms firmly.
Suddenly as they were in a fuss, someone knocked on the door loudly. He Jin immediately shouted, "Come in!"
The door opened and a foreign-looking student entered the room. He paid his respects to Niu Ren and He Jin. After that he was immediately asked a question by He Jin. "What are you coming here for?"
The student smiled for a moment. "I don't know if this might be worth investigating, but I overheard the conversation of some female disciple."
"Hmm?" He Jin snorted. "What kind of conversation?"
The student started to tell stories. At that moment he had just finished following the spirit beast test. Then as he exited the field, he heard about the spirit beast of a girl who had already been replaced. It was another girl who unintentionally said it carelessly.
At that time he was in a place quite far away, but he could hear it quite clearly. At first he didn't pay much heed to it, but he also wanted to gain good faith from teacher He. So he tells me now. Who knows, this is important.
"Who's the girl who changed the animal?" ask He Jin.
"He's a senior here, it just so happens that his name is quite famous. He is ... Luo Qingqi."
