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

"Hey, Wanye! It's been such a long time since we last met. Where have you been all this time? You have no idea how bored I've been lately. You and Jiang Xu went out for training, and even Jun Lin took a leave of absence to return to the family."

"I'm the only one here. Oh, and where's Jiang Xu? Didn't he go out with you to gain experience? Why are you back alone?"

Yun Qingluo learned from other disciples that Wan Ye had returned, so she immediately went to her courtyard, but she only saw her and not Jiang Xu.

Ye Wanqing's expression froze. "Jiang Xu has other things to attend to, and I'm only back temporarily."

Yuan Gui, the great elder of Tianling Academy, has unfathomable strength, and has even reached the level of spiritual cultivation that can see through some of the secrets of heaven. She came back this time just to ask Yuan Gui about Shui Ling.

While at the snow-capped mountains, Ye Wanqing learned from Yuan Xian that their clan had lived under the snow-capped mountains for generations.

The most precious treasure that has been guarded till now is Shui Ling, the most powerful of all water-attributed creatures. However, the Yuan clan was besieged by bandits, and Shui Ling's whereabouts have been unknown for half a year.

Therefore, in the whole world, apart from the master, perhaps only Yuan Gui, who has unfathomable strength, knows the whereabouts of Shui Ling.

With Shui Ling, Jiang Xu can also come back.

As if hearing the news that Jiang Xu would not come back, Yun Qingluo's raised lips dropped slightly, and in just a moment, his expression returned to his previous excitement.

"Oh, there's one more thing. Do you know about Jiandao Mountain in the North Territory? The academy just released a message saying that soon our Tianling Academy will represent the South Territory in exchanges and cooperation with the North Territory. I heard there will even be a competition."

Ye Wanqing's expression remained unchanged. "Okay, I understand. I have other things to do."

Yun Qingluo looked puzzled and was about to say something when she saw that Ye Wanqing had disappeared from the spot.

"What's going on? Why is it so strange? I haven't even told you what the prizes are for the exchange competition between the North and South."

Ye Wanqing rushed to the residence of Great Elder Yuan Gui as quickly as possible, but was told that Yuan Gui had been in seclusion for a long time and had not yet come out.

Ye Wanqing's expression darkened slightly. How could this be such a coincidence?

"Late night."

Yan Ze hurried over upon hearing the news that Ye Wanqing had returned, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person in front of him. "Wan Ye, are you looking for my master?"

Seeing Ye Wanqing nod in response, Yan Ze said softly, "Before Master went into seclusion, he guessed that you would come to find him today. He only left you one sentence, 'Heaven has a word, and it will appear as you wish.'"

Ye Wanqing lowered her eyes, her originally gentle phoenix eyes instantly becoming somewhat cold, making it impossible to read the expression within them. "Okay."

Looking at the person in front of him whom he hadn't seen for a long time, a layer of fluorescence gradually rose in Yan Ze's eyes, like the setting sun casting into the lake, fine and gentle.

"By the way, have you heard about the competition between Jiandao Mountain and Tianling Academy? This competition is very large, and the prizes are very generous. Many academy disciples who were training outside have recently returned to prepare to show their talents in the competition."

Ye Wanqing's expression was indifferent. "Not interested."

Seeing Ye Wanqing seem to want to turn around and leave, Yan Ze's face changed, and the corners of his lips that had been gradually rising paused. "Wait a minute, the opportunities in this competition are extraordinary."

Wanqing rarely comes back after she goes out for the trial. Even if it is not the master's instructions, he must keep her for his own sake.

"Tianling Academy has prepared the Mei Luolan, which can cure all poisons, for the winner of this competition, and Jiandao Mountain has even provided the Millennium Snow Mountain Ice Lotus, which can restore soul consciousness!"

Ye Wanqing's pupils shrank sharply, and her feet, which were about to leave, stopped instantly. "What did you say?!"
