She feared that Mu Ru Yue would disappear from her sight if she was to blink…

“Ar-are you still alive?”

'Is this woman really alive?'

“It isn't like I go there to die . Why do you think that way?”

The three of them leaped toward Mu Ru Yue upon hearing that . Mu Ru Yue was so scared by their wolf or tiger-like eyes that she retreated a few steps back .

“Yue Er . ”

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

Li Sha hugged Mu Ru Yue . She had an impulse to kiss her but it was only just a thought…

“It's great that you've returned . We thought you have died . ”

“It should be the two of you thinking about that . ” Yi Lian rolled her eyes and said, “I've always believed that she is alive . It is you all that believed what Xiao Yu said without seeing her corpse or hearing news about her death…”

Li Sha stuck out her tongue, feeling a little bad . “I've heard that disciples that went to the North Wind Plains will come back in a tattered state or doesn't even return . Yue Er has gone there for a year . I thought those people had really killed Yue Er . On another note, Yue Er, what have you done there? Why do I feel that your cultivation seems to be much greater?”

“About that…” Mu Ru Yue shrugged her shoulders and explained, “It will be a long story but I've gifts for you . ”

“What?”

Li Sha widened her eyes as she tilted her head slighted and asked .

Mu Ru Yue smiled slightly . With a raise of her palm, three High Rank Spiritual Stones appeared on it and she placed the stones before them .

“These are three High Rank Spiritual Stones . It can help improve your cultivation to the G.o.d-king Low realm . It will be the exam tomorrow . All of you must get stronger in order to pa.s.s the exam . ”

“Hi-high Rank Spiritual Stones?”

Qian Ye widened her eyes as she looked at Mu Ru Yue surprised .

'Even I, as a princess of the empire, haven't got the chance to see such a prestigious item . Yet, has she gave them the spiritual stones without blinking?'

Qian Ye had mixed feelings momentarily . She didn't know how to repay Mu Ru Yue…

Li Sha took the spiritual stone unceremoniously, giving Mu Ru Yue a bear hug .

“Yue Er, you treat me too well . I will sell my body to you from now on, forever being your maid-servant . ”

Even though Yi Lian wasn't as direct as Li Sha, she said with an elegant smile, “Yue Er, I've owed you too much . I will never be able to return your favours in my entire life and eternity . But you just have to say the word and I, Yi Lian, will do anything for you!”

“It will suffice with those words . ”

Mu Ru Yue smiled and patted Yi Lian's shoulder and continued, “I certainly won't hold back asking your help if I need in the future . Now, all of you should absorb the High Rank Spiritual Stones first, increasing your cultivation . ”

“Alright . ”

Yi Lian and Li Sha looked at each other before returning to their respective rooms .

Nonetheless, Qian Ye didn't make any movement from the start…

“Aren't you going?”

Mu Ru Yue raised her brow as she looked at Qian Ye .

“The first exam tomorrow will be to check the disciple's cultivation to see if you have made how much improvement during this year . If there wasn't any improvement within this year, that person will be expelled from the academy . ”

Qian Ye gripped tightly onto the High Rank Spiritual Stones in her hand . WIth a ray of light that flickered past her eyes, she sn.i.g.g.e.red and said, “I was at the G.o.d-general Mid Realm when I first joined the academy . I have broken through to the G.o.d-general High realm . It is already enough to pa.s.s the first round of tests . Therefore, I will absorb the spiritual stone after the end of tomorrow's exam . ”
