Mu Qiqi continued, “Ever since your triumphant debate at the Qingyun Pavilion, where you defeated Shen Yunrui, and then your victory over the Saint Dan Sect’s Sheng Shaoqing in the alchemy contest, your name has spread far and wide.”
“In these past seven days, every first-grade spirit pill sold at our Qingyun Pavilion has had a pill pattern coalescing within. Everyone immediately thought of you as the creator.”
“As far as I know, Chu Yuntian, people from the Qin clan, and those from the Saint Dan Pavilion have all sent people to secretly inquire about you at the Qingyun Pavilion.”
Then, looking at Ye Wushuang with a worried expression, Mu Qiqi said, “When Qingyun Academy students pass their assessment and report to the academy, they all undergo a freshman evaluation.”
“Initially, they are ranked according to their performance in the assessment. Then, they enter Lingyun Mountain for another entrance evaluation to determine the top hundred ranking among the freshmen, with generous rewards for the top ten.”
“And every time there is a freshman evaluation, people die…”
“This time, the Qin clan and the Chu clan will definitely target you.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s eyes brightened.
Mu Qiqi was taken aback.
She couldn’t help but feel that Ye Wushuang’s expression and the gleam in his eyes didn’t show worry, but rather… excitement!
It was as if he was… eagerly looking forward to others trying to kill him!
“I understand,” Ye Wushuang said with a smile, “Go get some spirit stones and bring them to me.”
“I didn’t say I would cure your father for free. I’ll still take the spirit stones. As for the guards you’ve stationed around my mansion these past few days, I didn’t ask for them, so I won’t pay for their protection.”
Mu Qiqi looked at Ye Wushuang in astonishment.
How could he suddenly become so shameless?
During the time she had known Ye Wushuang, he hadn’t been a greedy person!
“I’ll go right now!” Mu Qiqi huffed and left immediately.
Ye Wushuang didn’t pay her any mind, slowly got up, and walked to the training ground, taking a deep breath.
The Qin clan!
The Chu clan!
He had thought that entering the Qingyun Academy would be rather dull, but it seemed… it was going to be quite exciting.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Ye Wushuang and Xiao Yuan set off together.
Today was the day to report to the Qingyun Academy.
The Ye Mansion was not far from the Qingyun Academy. The two walked together, and it took them only the time of a cup of tea to reach the academy.
The vast Qingyun Academy, located in the eastern district of the capital, had a grand and imposing entrance with nine gates. The central one was closed, while the other eight were wide open.
On the central sandalwood gate, four large characters were inscribed.
Qingyun Academy!
Within the Qingyun Empire, there were numerous academies and schools in various counties and the capital itself.
But when it came to the top, the Qingyun Academy was undoubtedly the best.
For a thousand years, the Qingyun Academy had cultivated generations of martial artists. Many warriors from prominent families and sects within the capital, from the Nongmai stage to the Yuanfu stage, and even some from the Tian Gang stage, were former students of the Qingyun Academy.
There were also a number of exceptionally talented individuals who had left the Qingyun Empire and made a name for themselves on the vast Qingzhou continent.
Moreover, although the Qingyun Academy was located in the capital, its eastern side bordered the first great mountain range of the Qingyun Empire—the Qingtian Mountain Range.
In fact, part of the academy’s premises was built right at the entrance of the Qingtian Mountain Range.
Qingtian Mountain Range!
The largest mountain range within the Qingyun Empire, stretching for millions of miles, with towering mountains and bizarrely shaped trees.
The true depths of the Qingtian Mountain Range were a place even Tian Gang stage warriors from the empire dared not venture into.
The Qingtian Mountain Range was a paradise for martial artists seeking adventure, but also a hell. Every year, countless imperial martial artists perished within its boundaries.
Yet, because of the spirit herbs, spiritual beasts, and even treasures left behind by ancient figures who had passed away within the mountains, it continued to attract thousands of people every year, tirelessly venturing into its depths.
The Qingyun Academy had the confidence to connect the academy with the mountain range, relying on its profound heritage and formidable strength.
More importantly, this connection made it much easier for academy students to go on expeditions and for the academy to organize various assessments.
Ye Wushuang and Xiao Yuan stood in front of the massive academy gate, which was bustling with activity, causing Xiao Yuan to be taken aback.
