After Zi Jing left, He Ran propped her chin on her hand, gazing absentmindedly at the flowers dancing before her.
Before long, a voice spoke up. "Bai Qian went to the Six Directions Dojo."
He Ran was surprised. "She really went?"
"Yes."
"Hmph. She's disgraced me, spending time with those filthy mortals. Just thinking about it makes me sick." He Ran sneered. "Let her be. She's a failure anyway."
After a pause, He Ran suddenly asked, "Uncle Mo, do you think Zi Jing really cares about Xuan Qi?"
"Putting talent aside, she only asked whether anything had happened to him. She must care."
He Ran looked up. "Really? But she never even asked what his talent was before she left."
At the Six Directions Dojo, Xu Ji left the Wood Dojo and went to the Lost Academy.
Lu Yin was completely absorbed in the elegant lines of the space around him when he heard someone jeering. It was one of the people who had initially bet on what kind of Wood Fruit Lu Yin would pick.
They had bet not only on what kind of Wood Fruit Lu Yin would pick, but also on what kind of Wood Talent he would find in the Wood Spirit Domain.
Most had bet that his Wood Talent would surpass Xu Ji's. Only a few had taken a long shot, hoping for a big payout if they won.
In the end, most of them lost, and naturally, they were unhappy. They kept searching for Lu Yin, and whenever they found him, they mocked him mercilessly. From the looks of it, they wished they could just beat him up.
In their eyes, Lu Yin's cultivation wasn't impressive. Unlike Xu Ji and the others, they were confident they could overwhelm him if they joined forces.
