Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

The dean sighed: "Knowing you were leaving, we wanted to do something to help you, but now it seems you can only rely on yourself."

Ling Yi could hear the disappointment in their voices, but she didn't know how to respond, so she could only remain silent.

She never imagined that an emperor of an empire and a dean of an academy would feel so disappointed because they couldn't help her...

...

Ling Yi eventually returned to her dormitory first. After showering and washing up, she put her usual clothes into her storage space and then went to the dean's courtyard.

The others knew Ling Yi was coming back today, so they had already prepared beforehand. When they saw Ling Yi arrive, they all went to her side.

The dean put Lin Xinze down from his arms: "Go."

The dean was very reluctant to part with Lin Xinze, but when he asked Lin Xinze if he wanted to stay, Lin Xinze refused, saying he wanted to stay with his older brother and younger sister.

The dean respected Lin Xinze's choice, so no matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to let the little dumpling leave.

Emperor Dongyang and the Dean stood together, looking at Ling Yi: "You didn't mention leaving in the main hall that day, probably because you didn't want too many people to know. In that case, my uncle and I can't see you off. We can only say goodbye here and wish you a safe journey."

Ling Yi looked at the Dean and Emperor Dongyang, and after a long silence, said, "Take care."

It was simple and short, but the meaning behind it was an attitude that Ling Yi rarely displayed.

“Okay.” The dean and Emperor Dongyang responded with smiles.

Ling Yi didn't say anything more, letting the little golden tiger recover its form outside the courtyard, and then the group got on the little golden tiger's back.

"Goodbye, Grandpa!" Lin Xinze lay beside the little golden tiger, waving to the dean repeatedly: "Grandpa, you must live well. When I grow up and become strong, I will come back to see you!"

"Yes, Xiaoze, Grandpa will wait for you to come back..." Dean Dongfang replied with a smile, but as the little golden tiger flew away, the dean's eyes gradually became wet.

He had been alone for a long time, and Xiaoze's arrival made his quiet courtyard much more lively. The child was so well-behaved and adorable, and now that they were parting, he really couldn't bear to leave.

...

Lin Xinze kept wiping away tears on the back of the little golden tiger.

Seeing how reluctant he was to part with him, Lin Chengtian simply patted his head without saying a word.

Seeing Lin Xinze crying so hard, Bai Jiu thought of her uncle and Qian Ning, and felt very sad too.

The uncle knew they didn't want too many people to know they were leaving, and in order to avoid attracting attention, he couldn't see them off, so he could only say goodbye in advance.

The atmosphere was somber, and no one spoke.

After a while, Lin Xinze calmed down and stopped crying.

"I will come back," Lin Xinze said, his voice trembling with tears. "When I grow up and become powerful, I will come back to see Grandpa."

"Then you'll have to work hard." Seeing that he had stopped crying, Lin Chengtian joked, "You can't just keep practicing horse stance."

"I will work hard," Lin Xinze said with a determined look. "I want to become very, very powerful."

"Yes." Lin Chengtian nodded: "Big brother believes in you."

The liquor brand also offered encouragement: "It definitely will."

Lin Xinze looked at Ling Yi: "Little sister, please encourage me."

Ling looked at him and encouraged him, thinking that if encouragement were effective, there would be countless masters in the world.

But since the fool had just finished crying, Ling Yi didn't bother him and said calmly, "Good luck."

Encouraged by Ling Yi, Lin Xinze broke into a big smile, and the atmosphere was no longer gloomy.

Many years later, the child who had said on Little Golden Tiger's back that he would work hard to become strong and come back to see his grandfather broke his promise...

But that happened many years later, and no one knows it today.

Little Golden Tiger traveled eastward, spending all his time traveling except for resting and hunting. A month later, he arrived at a seaside town. With four months left before the Fengzhou Great Array expired, they didn't have much time left.

The group dismounted from the little golden tiger's back and walked into the town.

They need a boat to go out to sea. It doesn't need to be too big, just big enough to fit a few people. If they encounter sea monsters, they can put the boat away and then carry the little golden tiger on its back. A boat that's too big is expensive and takes up too much space.

The group entered the town to find a shop selling boats. After finding the shop, they went inside.

Upon entering the shop, the group saw many shelves displaying various ship models, each accompanied by an explanation. A young girl stood with her back to them, wiping the shelves with a cloth. Hearing the voice, she turned around and said, "Want to buy..."

Turning around, the girl stopped speaking.

Ling Yi looked at the girl in front of him and raised an eyebrow.

Lin Chengtian looked at the girl in front of him, his expression indescribable: "Ye Qingshuang, you told your teacher you wanted to travel and broaden your horizons, and your travels are here..." Lin Chengtian glanced around: "...wiping the wooden shelf?"

"I like wiping wooden frames, is that wrong?" Ye Qingshuang had a cold look on her face towards Lin Chengtian, but immediately changed her attitude towards Ling Yi, smiling and saying, "Ling Yi, what are you doing here?"

Ling Yi looked at Ye Qingshuang with a half-smile: "You don't know?"

Ye Qingshuang feigned ignorance: "How could I possibly know? You didn't tell me, so how could I possibly know you were coming here!"

"Really?" Ling Yi said with a smile, "Then how come you're here?"

Ye Qingshuang began to recount that after the Imperial Grand Competition, her cultivation stagnated. She felt that cultivation alone was not enough and that she should travel. So she asked her teacher for a long leave with no return date in sight. She then traveled eastward and came to this seaside town. She wanted to go out to sea to see the world, so she went out to sea and rescued the shopkeeper who was being attacked by a sea monster.

However, the shopkeeper was too badly injured and died not long after being saved. Before he died, the shopkeeper was grateful to Ye Qingshuang for saving him, so he gave the shop and his family heirloom to Ye Qingshuang.

Ye Qingshuang wanted to refuse, but the shopkeeper died right after speaking, giving her no chance to refuse. She had no choice but to inherit.

"So you're doing business here now?" Lin Chengtian asked, his face full of disbelief.

“That’s right.” Ye Qingshuang looked at Lin Chengtian: “Do you want to buy something? If you do, considering we’ve been classmates for so many years, you can give me 100 taels of gold instead of 100 taels of silver.”

Upon hearing this, Baijiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin Chengtian sneered, "I won't buy it."

"Alright then." Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi again: "Are you going to buy it? If you buy it, I'll give it to you for free."

Lin Chengtian: "?"

Baijiu: "So good?"

"It must be good." Ye Qingshuang said with a smile, "I made a fortune back then thanks to Ling Yi."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Ling Yi said. "Just give me a boat that can fit all of us."

"Are you going out to sea?" Ye Qingshuang said, "If you are going out to sea, these boats are all of poor quality. Only the heirlooms given by the shopkeeper are acceptable."

Ling Yi: "Shouldn't we not give away family heirlooms?"

“Indeed not, but…” Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi and said seriously, “I have inherited a family heirloom. As long as you take me with you, you can use the heirloom.”

Ling Yi: "..."
