  Qi Xuanxuan had waited inside the inn for a full four days.

  On this day, she was listlessly eating breakfast inside the room when she suddenly felt a fluctuation in the air.

  She immediately turned around and widened her eyes in joy.

  Sure enough, she saw a slim figure appear through a crack in the air.

  “Qiaoqiao!” Qi Xuanxuan bounced over happily. However, just as she was about to pounce over for a hug, she suddenly halted.

  Qi Xuanxuan looked her up and down with wide eyes before suddenly exclaiming, “Wow! I can sense that the aura you are emitting is much stronger than mine! Which rank have you advanced to?”


  “Initial success of level-15 mystic cultivation.”


  “Ho, not only did you tread into the ranks of level-15 great mystic cultivators, you even skipped over entry rank and entered phenomenal success.” Qi Xuanxuan sized up Qiao Mu with a look of worship. “Qiaoqiao, you must have worked hard these few days! You neither ate or slept well for this advancement. You must’ve starved for several days. Come, I just ordered hot porridge. Let’s eat together.”


  Qiao Mu had “Thank you, but I’m not a foodie” written all over her face, but she was unable to respond as Qi Xuanxuan pulled her to the small table and pushed her down to sit.

  The duo each held a small porcelain bowl with porridge.

  After eating two mouthfuls, Qi Xuanxuan couldn’t help asking, “Qiaoqiao, where do you say we should go next?”


  “Should we continue looking for your Senior Brother Situ?”


  Qiao Mu shook her head in response. “No need. Senior Brother and them should have also encountered their own fortuitous event.”


  With their cultivation, there was no need to worry too much.

  They would definitely meet in the future anyway. Qiao Mu decided to first put finding Situ Yi and the rest aside and let nature take its course.

  “Then good! After contemplating deeply these few days, I feel that we should still find an academy to join. At least we will be able to learn systematically. After studying at an academy, I might advance to the spiritual realm, while you could learn how to better manipulate spiritual energy in advance.”


  Qiao Mu nodded her petite head in agreement as she ate a mouthful of porridge.

  In any case, it was no good to keep wandering about this Shuntian Prefecture. People needed to find a place to belong to.

  “After repeated consideration these past four days and nights, I think that, we might as well go to Apex Academy.”


  “Pfft…” Qiao Mu really did spit out a mouthful of hot porridge.

  No sooner said than done, Qi Xuanxuan whipped up a tray to block Qiaoqiao’s mouthful of porridge from hitting her face!

  “Qiaoqiao!!” Qi Xuanxuan cried out in a huff, “What kind of reaction of yours is this!”


  Adhering to the principle of denying any bad deeds done to the end, Qiao Mu composedly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. She then stated calmly, “It’s fine. You continue on.”


  “Humph!” Qi Xuanxuan stood up and put her paws behind her back before reeling off the advantages of heading toward Apex Academy. “That day, that mentor from Apex Academy had already told us. There are mentors for the five spirits who specially coach students one on one. I think that this treatment is considered rather good!”


  Qiao Mu twitched her mouth. “Yeah, we will be coached by ‘excellent’ mentors like Zhou Danjin!”


  Qi Xuanxuan blinked her eyes before admitting with a light cough, “Uh, I’ve been wandering around the city these two days to find a good academy for us to join.”


  “But for some reason, ever since we had our bad luck at Sunlight Academy, as long as I go to other academies’ registration sites and say I want to register, I get rejected!”
