Qing Yue'er intended to return to her own dorm after the talks with the academy head were over. However, he suddenly recalled Jing Ling whom he had not met again after He Jin's attack ended. The girl did not see him either, for what reason. Is it possible that Jing Ling is too busy?

Finally he set foot in front of Jing Ling's dorm room. He knocked on his door and the one that came out from inside was Ming Yuxia. They share the same room. “Yuxia, where is Jing Ling?”

Ming Yuxia shook her head doubtfully. “It looks like he just left.” As he spoke he did not look Qing Yue'er in the eye at all.

Qing Yue'er was slightly stunned. It seemed like something was hidden from him by Ming Yuxia. That girl is not good at lying or anything. He smiled and said to Ming Yuxia, “He's inside isn't he?”

Ming Yuxia immediately shook her head again. “No, he's not inside and I'm sorry I still have other business. I've been really busy lately.”

Qing Yue'er was silent. He looked at Ming Yuxia who had directly closed the door. What the fuck are these guys? He wanted to break down that door but he undoed his intentions. Maybe tomorrow they'll meet again.

Finally he went back to the dorm. As usual, the curious Luo Qingqi directly asked him things. However, since his mood was not so good, he only answered in moderation. It made Luo Qingqi feel astonished. “What's wrong with you? Why do you look so lethargic?”

“Ah, Qingqi, have you seen Jing Ling or Ming Yuxia lately?” qing Yue'er asked.

Luo Qingqi seemed to think for a while. After that he shook his head too. “No. Ah, wait. I think I saw it yesterday.”

“Where?”

“When I go to the academy library.” Luo Qingqi seemed to think again. “They are not so enthusiastic. Not as usual, but I don't think about it. Maybe just tired or something else.”

Something else.

Qing Yue'er thought about it. Is it possible that they have a certain problem to the point of not wanting to meet him? Or it's just their feelings if they're getting away from it little by little. Qing Yue'er shook her head. Maybe he was too much.

“Maybe it is,” he said softly.

The next day he tried to meet Jing Ling and Ming Yuxia. However, this time it was his second turn that was not in the dorm. Qing Yue'er was trying to find out where her friends were. It was late, but he couldn't find it.

He grunts unhappily. “Good, I'll come play with you guys,” he murmured. After that, he went back to his own dorm. Just then he saw Luo Qingqi who was receiving guests.

“It so happens that you are back, this disciple said that Niu Ren wants to meet you,” Luo Qingqi said upon seeing Qing Yue'er's arrival.

“Tell him right now I don't want to be disturbed. No need for any more meetings. We'll go to the central region tomorrow anyway. Wouldn't if he wanted to talk about something he could say tomorrow?” Qing Yue'er said long, there was a grunt also in her tone.

“....”

Luo Qingqi finally pushed Qing Yue'er to immediately enter the room. It seemed like the girl was in a bad mood, if left to remain here who would know what Qing Yue'er might do?

“Ah, put it this way, just say if Xinyu is indeed busy related to her departure tomorrow. So he can't meet anyone. Please convey it like that,” Luo Qingqi said to the person who became Niu Ren's envoy.

That guy nodded too. “Good. Then I'll go now.”

Luo Qingqi nodded and looked until the person left. Then he closed the door and turned around. “Could you still not have met Jing Ling?”

“No, I'm sure they're avoiding me.” Qing Yue'er sighed. “Leave it alone, I will see to what extent they will be like that.”

Luo Qingqi nodded in agreement. “It's okay. Don't think about it, they should be the ones thanking you.”

It was true, here the ones who received a lot of help from Qing Yue'er were Jing Ling and Ming Yuxia. Qing Yue'er herself would not be affected even if Jing Ling and Ming Yuxia left. That is to say, the ones who needed it the most were them, not Qing Yue'er.

Not knowing what was on Jing Ling and Ming Yuxia's mind, but Luo Qingqi couldn't rush over to judge either. Maybe there's a reason that makes them both like that?

The day that Qing Yue'er was waiting for finally arrived. This was the day that the head of the academy had already scheduled in regards to his departure. When the sun started rising finally Qing Yue'er went out the gate. He will be waiting for someone else to take part in the mission.

A few moments later, he saw something that surprised him. Niu Ren walked side by side with uncle Wuqing and also Yan Xiao. Besides behind them there were also some other senior disciples whose names were actually quite famous.

Not only were there male disciples, there were also some female disciples who came along. Among them was Xiao Ling who had met Qing Yue'er several times. Then there was Li Xia and Chen Yi. They all had a good reputation in the academy.

Qing Yue'er felt happy that she could be in a group with all of them. Moreover, he was in the same group as his uncle. He immediately greeted her as the men approached her. They seemed to already know so Qing Yue'er's whereabouts were not that surprising.

“Ah, Xinyu, I am happy to be able to do a mission together with you,” Xiao Ling said happily. Her smile expanded as she looked at Qing Yue'er.

Actually these people were seniors who did not participate in the spirit beast hunt, except for uncle Wuqing of course. Perhaps it was because they already had enough spirit beasts or perhaps it was also because of having other things to do. Their level is different from other students.

Qing Yue'er smiled. “I'm happy to be with the seniors too.”

Xiao Ling smiled. “Don't be shy, after all we've acknowledged your greatness.”

Chen Yi also said things that were not much different. They had a pretty good attitude towards Qing Yue'er. However, there was no immediate intimacy. Actually Qing Yue'er could not judge him for sure. Being praised like that really made him feel awkward.

“Already, you guys made him feel ashamed. We can probably leave now,” said Xie Wuqing to shift everyone's focus. He could feel Qing Yue'er's discomfort. Moreover, he also saw how Niu Ren looked at the girl.

This can't be allowed. It seemed like he had to continue the rumors that people used to think that he had a special relationship with Qing Yue'er. Instead of what, he himself did not want others to like Qing Yue'er.

“Xinyu, it's been a long time I haven't seen you.” Xie Wuqing started talking to Qing Yue'er.

“We can meet often from now on.” Qing Yue'er smiled at her uncle. Then he approached her to look closer.

Niu Ren who saw this could only palpitate. He had indeed heard rumors about Xie Wuqing's closeness with Qing Yue'er. He never thought it was the truth. Come to think of it indeed who is the man who would not like such a beautiful girl as Qing Yue'er?

“Alright we can go now,” said Niu Ren in the end. No one knows what's on his mind.

Everyone nodded. Finally they started moving in the sky. Some people there used flying swords but Qing Yue'er did not use anything. Just fly leisurely accompanied by his uncle.

“I heard you have eliminated teacher He?” xie Wuqing asked curiously. The rumors were already widespread in the academy.

In fact it was indeed a bit of a surprise since there was no warning whatsoever to Qing Yue'er who had killed and made a mess in the academy. If it was another disciple would have been given a punishment or as light as it was, it would have been warned.

There may be a reason why there is no such thing. Like for example because it was Niu Ren or maybe the academy head himself who had decided not to give Qing Yue'er any trouble.

“It was true. The old man was too irritating, he injured my friends as well as my spirit beast,” Qing Yue'er replied. In front of his uncle he did not feel he had to lie.

“Which spirit beast?” xie Wuqing asked.

“Two Tails Bear Ying Yang. They were small, wasn't that very unfortunate?” Qing Yue'er looked at Xie Wuqing for her opinion.

Xie Wuqing chuckled. “That's probably because you have too many spirit beasts. I don't even know everything,” god.

Qing Yue'er smiled. “Look at it later, I'll have more.”

While Qing Yue'er's group was on their way, Luo Qingqi walked out of her dorm. He stepped up quickly and ended up in front of Jing Ling's dorm room. He was not happy with the behavior of the two girls.

Indeed he would look unproblematic when he was in front of Qing Yue'er. But actually he did not like it if Jing Ling behaved like that.

He knocked on the door. A while later Jing Ling appeared before him. The girl was quite surprised when she saw him. Perhaps it was because he had never visited Jing Ling before.

“Sister Luo, what's up?” jing Ling asked. He became awkward when he saw Luo Qingqi's unusual expression. Did the woman know?

“Jing Ling, what's wrong with you? You have to give me clarity.” Luo Qingqi spoke directly.

“What do you mean?”

“Xinyu has gone. I just want to know why you guys stayed away from him,” Luo Qingqi said.

Jing Ling scratched her non-itchy head. He looked at Luo Qingqi with guilt. “You know I've made a lot of trouble for Xinyu. I think everything should stop. From the moment he saved me from teacher He, I started thinking about him.”

“Thinking what?” asked Luo Qingqi who still did not understand.

“My level and hers are completely different. If I decide to stay with her, it will only end up making it difficult for her. Not only me but Ming Yuxia as well.” Jing Ling looked at Luo Qingqi hoping for her understanding.

“I know, this is indeed an undeniable fact. It's just the way you're wrong, at least say something. I think Xinyu is a little worried about you,” Luo Qingqi said.

Jing Ling sighed. “Where did he go?”

“Running missions. Ye know? The one who participated was the senior-senior here. I don't think it's a simple mission.”

Jing Ling's face was instantly shocked. She did not expect that Qing Yue'er would leave in just a few days. And now he doesn't know when the girl will be back. Moreover, this mission seems to be dangerous.

He feels guilty. He shouldn't be like this. What if Qing Yue'er thought about it all day and it would hinder her mission?

“Au—”

“It's okay. Wait until he comes back, at that point explain everything.” Luo Qingqi looked at Jing Ling fixedly. That girl is not mature enough. “I'm going now.”

Jing Ling could only nod and look at Luo Qingqi's departure. What the woman said was true. He's done the wrong way. I don't know why he could do something like that. It's completely out of character. Fine, he would wait until Qing Yue'er returned.
