The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

Jiang Xu's eyes widened. "How did she know? I've been very careful. Outside, I basically don't use my mermaid powers. And today, as soon as I arrived at Scarlet Cloud Academy, Mei Rao came to me, and I haven't even used my spiritual power yet."

Ye Wanqing's lips curled slightly, her eyes revealing something ambiguous. "That means she's not from the Cang Qiong Continent, but rather comes from a higher realm. Her perception of spiritual energy is also increasingly profound. Perhaps she's from the Celestial Spirit Realm."

"The Heavenly Spirit Realm?! Is it the entire Scarlet Cloud Academy? But I don't think that the dean of the Spiritual Venerable Realm looks like it."

Ye Wanqing played with the folding fan in her hand, the corners of her lips slightly raised, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"It's certainly not the case. Dean Lin Hai's spiritual talent is simply due to taking medicine in the later stages. He naturally has nothing to worry about. The question is why would someone from the Heavenly Spirit Realm travel so far to the Cang Qiong Continent to establish an academy."

She didn't know what she was thinking about. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression suddenly became serious. "During this period of time, unless your life is in danger, do not use the power of the mermaid at other times, especially you, Hai Li."

Hai Li paused, his eyes filled with guilt. He didn't dare meet Ye Wanqing's gaze. "Sister, I've been in this space the entire time. How could I possibly have the opportunity to use the power of a mermaid? You're right, right? Besides, I'm a very well-behaved person and never cause trouble."

The feather in Ye Wanqing's hand transformed into a stream of light and flew towards Hai Li. Hai Li immediately caught it and blinked, her expression innocent yet a bit flattering. "What's wrong, sister?"

"Hai Li, don't think I don't know that you slip out of this dimension from time to time, and that you often instigate Haoyue and Yuechao, who are younger than you. It's okay at other times, but you have to be careful during this period. If you get captured, I won't care about you, and you shouldn't implicate other companions."

"Okay, okay, I get it, sister. You know, I always listen to you the most."

When Hai Li returned to the space, the bell outside the courtyard gate rang.

"Is Master Qingye here? Elder Mu Qing wants to see you."

Ye Wanqing stood up and looked at Jiang Xu, who was holding the Mermaid Tears in his hand, looking dazed. She raised her hand slightly and said, "Why are you staring blankly? I remember everything I just said."

Jiang Xu quickly put the Mermaid Tears in his hand back into his body, "I remember everything, Master, don't worry."

And the other side

"Master... Elder Mu Qing, Young Master Qing Ye has been brought here."

Ye Wanqing was led to a courtyard by the secret guards sent by Mu Qing. She looked around and saw that the surroundings didn't look like the furnishings of Scarlet Cloud Academy. Instead, they looked like...

Another space?

Not far away, a man was gently stroking the guqin, and the pleasant sound of the guqin sounded, which had a unique flavor in this artistic conception.

Ye Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly. When she heard the sound of the guqin, her spiritual cultivation level, which had been suppressed for a long time, actually loosened for a moment. Could this be the legendary "power of the sound spirit" that is most effective in replenishing energy and concentrating the mind?

Suddenly, the piano music stopped.

"Mr. Qingye, please take a seat."

The man in the distance stood up and walked to another stone table. He gestured for Ye Wanqing to relax and poured her a pot of tea.

"I wonder why Elder Mu Qing wants to ask his disciple to come here?"

"I heard that Young Master Qingye has reached a bottleneck in his spiritual cultivation. I specially prepared this for you."

The expression in Mu Qing's eyes did not change, but a small tail inlaid with gems appeared from nowhere.

Ye Wanqing's eyebrows twitched, her expression filled with shock, "This... is this the Linglong Heart?"

It is rumored that the Linglong Heart is a peerless treasure that enjoys the most luck from the Great Dao. It can make a waste person ascend to the ranks of the strong, can block a life-or-death blow, can resist the deepest inner demons in the heart, can bring the dead back to life, can also cause the greatest damage to the demons outside the sky, and can even transform the cycle of time and space!

And the gem inlaid on the little tail is the legendary exquisite heart.

"Yes, it is an exquisite heart, but to be more precise, it is half an exquisite heart."

Ye Wanqing raised her head abruptly upon hearing this. The most amazing thing about the exquisite heart was that even if it was only half a heart, it could still unleash its full power, in addition to transforming the cycle of time and space.

Mu Qing actually had the Exquisite Heart in his hand! You know, the Exquisite Heart had disappeared since ancient times. Many people even thought that this legendary treasure was just a figment of human imagination, and that such a heaven-defying treasure simply didn't exist. But unexpectedly, this peerless treasure actually appeared before his eyes.

Seeing that Ye Wanqing didn't react, Mu Qing hung the small tail inlaid with a delicate heart on Ye Wanqing's bracelet. From a distance, it looked like just an ordinary little ornament.

No one would have thought that this was the legendary priceless treasure that countless people were scrambling for, the Exquisite Heart.

"I have placed a ban on it, so no one will notice anything unusual about it."

Ye Wanqing suddenly came back to her senses and tried to take Linglong Heart off the bracelet given by Di Siheng, but found that she couldn't take it off at all.

"Elder Mu Qing, this exquisite heart is a peerless treasure. Please forgive me for accepting it."

Ye Wanqing didn't believe that a foreign elder invited by the academy would give her the Linglong Heart for no reason. Either he had other requests from her, or he knew her and had known her for a long time.

She didn't want to have such a complicated relationship with a stranger. The spiritual guidance before was fine, after all, she was invited by the academy, but she couldn't accept this exquisite heart.

Not knowing the other party's identity and background, nor knowing what the other party's purpose is, such a thing is not a good thing.

The expression in Mu Qing's eyes remained unchanged. "Do you remember what I said the first time? I won't hurt you. Not before, not now, and not in the future. And this exquisite heart is indeed good for you now. It's much better than some mermaid tears or something like that."

There was a strange tone in Mu Qing's words.

Ye Wanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he knew what had just happened between him and Jiang Xu.

For her now, Linglong Heart can indeed solve some of her problems, such as increasing her lethality against demons from outside the Heavenly Realm, and improving her spiritual cultivation.
