The First Academy in the Cultivation World

After the three of them exchanged the silver notes for small-denomination silver notes and change, Ling Yan'er and the others just came out of the money house and met Zhao Xiyue.

Zhao Xiyue was with a girl who looked about the same age as her, so Ling Yan'er didn't say hello. Unexpectedly, even though Ling Yan'er didn't say hello, Zhao Xiyue pulled the girl who was traveling with her over to say hello to Ling Yan'er.

"Who is this?" asked the girl with Zhao Xiyue.

Zhao Xiyue introduced: "This is the dean of our college, and this is Hua Qingfeng, a teacher of the college."

Then he introduced her to Ling Yan'er, "This is my sister-in-law Su Qin."

"Where are you going?" Zhao Xiyue asked Ling Yan'er.

"We can go anywhere, what about you guys?" Ling Yan'er said.

"We're going back after shopping. Do you want to come with us?" Zhao Xiyue invited, "You can come to my house. My parents both want to see you."

"That's not very convenient." Ling Yan'er said, "It's New Year's Day, you two can have a reunion. I'll come to your house when I have the chance later."

Hearing Ling Yan'er's refusal, Zhao Xiyue did not force the invitation. She also knew that today was not a good time.

After parting with Zhao Xiyue, Ling Yan'er chose a direction to wander around. Because it was the Chinese New Year period, there were a lot of places selling various small gadgets.

Ling Yan'er was holding her arms full of things, but unexpectedly she met Luo Qingyan again, whom she had met once before. They were a group of three. In front was her husband Gu Yunting, and there was a girl she had never seen before. She was wearing white clothes and looked weak and fragile. She was probably her cousin Liu Yinyin.

Previously, it could be seen that the color matching of Luo Qingyan and Gu Yunting's clothes looked like couple outfits, but this time, there was no connection between their clothes.

If Ling Yan'er hadn't seen the two of them before and seen their names on her phone, she wouldn't have dared to recognize them.

Ling Yan'er saw the three people and looked around. After all, there was also the legendary Qin Xu who had an ambiguous relationship with Luo Qingyan, but she didn't see any other men besides the three.

The three of them didn't even bring a maid with them. Ling Yan'er unconsciously followed them for a whole street before she came to her senses.

It was really a drama when these three of them walked together. Luo Qingyan was walking at the end with a distraught look on her face, while Liu Yinyin in front of her stopped to rest from time to time, looking heartbroken, and Gu Yunting also seemed very worried about Liu Yinyin.

Ling Yan'er really wanted to hear this news, but it seemed like she could also imagine it herself. After all, judging from the amount of abuse stories she read, Gu Yunting wanted both, while Luo Qingyan could be reconciled with just a few words of coaxing. Liu Yinyin's thoughts were not important, and her actions were also very obvious.

I don’t know why Luo Qingyan still has the mood to follow them. If it were her, she would have run away long ago.

Ling Yan'er changed a street and when she was about to leave the city after lunch, she unexpectedly saw Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan was also surprised to see Ling Yan'er. She still looked distraught. Seeing Ling Yan'er, she forced an unpleasant smile: "Dean, we meet again."

Luo Qingyan took the initiative to greet her, and Ling Yan'er couldn't pretend not to see it, so she replied, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Luo Qingyan asked, "How long will the dean stay in Furong City this time?"

"Let's get ready to leave." Ling Yan'er said.

"Does what the dean said before about me being able to go to the academy still count?" Luo Qingyan asked.

Ling Yan'er wanted to refuse. After all, Luo Qingyan had said before that she didn't understand love. But Luo Qingyan's current state was even more exhausted than the time she jumped off the building.

Before Luo Qingyan jumped off the building, she was still full of energy, but today, looking from the front, she was very thin and didn't even seem to have any energy.

Ling Yan'er said, "It does count, but your family..."

"I'm divorcing him." Luo Qingyan said as tears streamed down her face. She wiped them away and said, "Maybe I've been so upset so many times that he's grown impatient. He's been able to coax Liu Yinyin for over a decade. Their relationship of over a decade is something I truly can't compare to."

Seeing Luo Qingyan like this, Ling Yan'er said, "If you get divorced, you can come to our academy."

After saying that, she took out a wooden plaque and handed it to Luo Qingyan. Ling Yan'er said, "This is a teleportation array. If you hold it and read the words on it, you will be teleported to the entrance of our academy. If you have nowhere to go after the separation, you can come to our academy. You can read, right?"

"I can read." Luo Qingyan rubbed the words "Caledonia" on the wooden sign and said, "Thank you, Dean."

"You're welcome." Ling Yan'er said, "Only by staying away from people who make you unhappy can you find happiness."

"Only by staying away from people who make me unhappy can I find happiness." Luo Qingyan repeated Ling Yan'er's words: "You are right. I should indeed stay away from them. Things that are forced do not belong to me."

"Whether a forced melon is sweet or not is secondary; the process of twisting it is what's important." Ling Yan'er said, "If it doesn't taste sweet, just throw it away. After all, if this melon isn't sweet, just wait for the next one. If the next one is sweet, take it. If it's not, throw it away."

Knowing that Ling Yan'er was trying to persuade her, Luo Qingyan was amused by Ling Yan'er's description: "You're right. If the melon isn't sweet, I won't eat it."

"Yes." Ling Yan'er nodded. "Life is so long, and you'll always encounter a few melons that aren't sweet. It's not your fault, it's the melon itself that's of poor quality."

"Yes." Luo Qingyan said, "It's not my fault, it's that the melon itself isn't sweet."

Luo Qingyan put the wooden sign away, said goodbye to Ling Yan'er and left.

Seeing Luo Qingyan walking away, Dongfang Zichu asked in confusion, "Didn't Zhao Xiyue say before that she and her husband have been entangled for so long, I'm afraid they won't be separated so easily. Isn't it a waste for you to send her the wooden sign?"

"It doesn't matter if I have one more or one less teleportation plaque. I don't need one." Ling Yan'er said, "I think she's not in a good state. She cried when she jumped from the tower before, but it wasn't the same as today. She feels like her energy has been drained away. I don't know what happened in the past six months."

She was really curious about this, and when Zhao Xiyue arrived at the flying boat, she would definitely ask!

"That has nothing to do with you." Dongfang Zichu said, "Even if they really divorced, she still has parents and a brother with whom she has an ambiguous relationship. She may not come to the academy."

"We just happened to meet, and we just happened to know each other." Ling Yan'er said, "Since we happened to meet, it means we are destined to meet. Let's give her an extra way out. Even if she doesn't come, the most I'll lose is a teleportation plaque. And if she wants to come, I can't let her have no way to come."

After all, if she hadn't been given the teleportation sign, Luo Qingyan wouldn't have known the address of the academy.

Dongfang Zichu still didn't understand: "If you continue like this, with so many desperate people, can you still put them all into the academy? The academy isn't that big, is it?"

"So it depends on fate." Ling Yan'er said, "I don't know all of them. If there's a destiny, I'll save as many as I can. If she really comes, I can even listen to her story."

It's a tragic love story in ancient style, with the people involved telling their own stories. It's much better than those serialized stories she read. It's really painful to follow them.

Dongfang Zichu suddenly understood: "Actually, you just want to hear her story."

"It's just by the way." Ling Yan'er said.

When they got outside the city, Zhao Xiyue and others had not arrived yet. Ling Yan'er found a place to release the flying boat and got on it. Not long after, Duan Xiao and the other four got on the flying boat.

After they greeted Ling Yan'er on the deck, they went to find a room to rest. After Zhao Xiyue boarded the flying boat, Ling Yan'er pulled her aside and asked her if she knew what had happened to Luo Qingyan recently.

Zhao Xiyue was really helpless when Ling Yan'er asked her about this. She actually heard about it after she got home.

"Why did you think of asking about her?" Zhao Xiyue asked helplessly.

"I saw her on the street before. She took the initiative to say hello to me and asked if my invitation to the academy still stood." Ling Yan'er said, "I saw that her spirit and energy were completely different from the last time I saw her. What happened to her in the past six months?"

"She had a child, but she miscarried." Zhao Xiyue said, "The child was three months old, but Gu Yunting pushed her away for Liu Yinyin, causing the miscarriage."

"Ah, so excessive?" Ling Yan'er said in surprise, "You shouldn't push a pregnant woman, right? When Luo Qingyan jumped off the city wall, wasn't he so quick to come and comfort her?"

"Yes." Zhao Xiyue said, "After that trip, the two of them were sweet for a while. Luo Qingyan got pregnant during that time. Last month, Liu Yinyin said it was a relapse of her heart disease. I wonder what Liu Yinyin told Gu Yunting."

"Gu Yunting is convinced that Luo Qingyan was the one who did it. He pushed Luo Qingyan, causing her to miscarry. Luo Qingyan spent her entire confinement period at her parents' home, and was only taken back by her mother-in-law yesterday during the Chinese New Year. Gu Yunting didn't even show his face while she was in confinement this month."

"Then Luo Qingyan went back?" Ling Yan'er replied, "No normal person would go back, right?"

"Luo Qingyan's father told her to do it, saying that she's married and there's no reason for her to spend the New Year at her parents' home." Zhao Xiyue said, "Luo Qingyan asked for it. She protected that man even though they asked her to divorce. She deserves everything she's going through now. She should stop crying at her parents' home every few days."

Ling Yan'er remembered what Zhao Xiyue had said before, that Luo Qingyan's parents made the decision for her, and they reconciled with just a little coaxing. It seemed that her father really didn't want to take care of her anymore.

"So her family didn't make the decision for her this time when she had a miscarriage?" Ling Yan'er asked.

Zhao Xiyue drank a cup of tea and said, "It's your decision. Why didn't you do it? Gu Yunting said Luo Qingyan wanted to murder Liu Yinyin and called her vicious. The child died because he didn't want to have such a vicious mother."

"He scolded his own child so harshly." Ling Yan'er sighed. "Luo Qingyan shouldn't be the kind of person who would harm others, otherwise he wouldn't have jumped off the city wall, but would have stabbed Liu Yinyin with a knife."

"Who says it's not true?" Zhao Xiyue also said, "But Gu Yunting believes that it was Luo Qingyan who did it, and he said that he didn't report it to the police because of their relationship as husband and wife. Luo Qingyan said that she didn't ask him to find evidence, and he said that if there was evidence, Luo Qingyan should be thrown into prison."

"No wonder Luo Qingyan didn't seem angry at all today." Ling Yan'er sighed, "It's really hard to say. Liu Yinyin wouldn't attack me just to win her favor, would she?"

"I'm not familiar with Liu Yinyin." Zhao Xiyue said, "I heard a rumor that Liu Yinyin's husband's death was related to her."

Ling Yan'er looked at Zhao Xiyue: "You know this too?"

Zhao Xiyue nodded helplessly: "My third sister-in-law especially likes to pry into these things. My eldest sister-in-law doesn't get along with her, and my second sister-in-law is not interested in these things, so she likes to tell me whatever news she finds out."

"That doesn't rule out Liu Yinyin doing it on purpose." Ling Yan'er, with the mind of someone who had read many abusive novels, referred to the truth: "She might just have had a heart attack. Luo Qingyan was pregnant at this time, and Gu Yunting and the family were paying more attention to her."

"After she had her attack, she said something half-truthful to pin it on Luo Qingyan, so there's no evidence. If she's a little more serious, she might even tell Gu Yunting that she was probably wrong and it had nothing to do with Luo Qingyan. When Gu Yunting questioned Luo Qingyan, she denied it. Then it makes sense that Gu Yunting thought Luo Qingyan was unrepentant and was deliberately giving her the cold shoulder."

Zhao Xiyue looked at Ling Yan'er: "Why are you saying the same thing as my third sister-in-law? She said the same thing."

Although the specific content is different, the meaning is similar.

"Based on what I've read about sad stories, Liu Yinyin is not a good person." Ling Yan'er replied.

After all, when she saw it, Liu Yinyin and Gu Yunting were walking in front, completely ignoring Luo Qingyan. Who would believe her if she said she didn't do it on purpose?

Maybe it was she who suggested the threesome. Judging from Luo Qingyan's condition, she probably wasn't in the mood to go shopping, and it wasn't known whether Luo Qingyan had finished her postpartum confinement.
