Academy Daily Life

Qin Wangchuan didn't turn his head; his voice came calmly, "No reason."

Gu Yixuan subconsciously quickened her pace to catch up with him, keeping a half-step distance, her voice tinged with a hint of grievance:

"But... but this job requires a lot of academic credits..."

Academic credits – a form of hard currency similar to contribution points within the Wandao Academy.

You can earn credits by completing specific tasks assigned by the Academy or by assisting with certain matters.

It is generally used to exchange for resources including rare elixirs, access to special training rooms, and even access to certain Secret Method.

This system is especially significant for those exceptionally talented but ordinary-born, Rogue Cultivator practitioners who lack support from their backgrounds.

This would free them from struggling for basic Cultivation Resources, allowing them to focus more on cultivation itself.

"You took on this job," Qin Wangchuan said confidently without stopping, "You didn't tell your brother, did you?"

Gu Yixuan stiffened slightly, lowered her head, and pursed her lips without answering.

It's been accepted by default.

She took on this job without telling Gu Tianye, simply because she wanted to use those credits to quietly relieve some of the pressure on her brother.

There are simply too many Prodigy at the Wandao Academy.

Furthermore, since some awards are given out based on college rankings, the competition is extremely fierce.

Qin Wangchuan neither pressed for answers nor offered any explanation, only leaving out the following statement:

"For specifics, ask your brother."

Upon hearing Gu Yixuan gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

She simply followed silently, keeping a half-step distance behind Qin Wangchuan.

As arranged, for the next two hours, she needed to accompany Qin Wangchuan to the Xuanyi Academy for the "General Theory of Myriad Laws" class, and be responsible for recording his remarks and questions during class.

If he remains silent, there is no need to record it.

This is all of Gu Yixuan's work for today.

The two walked through the corridor one after the other.

Along the way, some female cultivators who had been waiting there and were dressed up carefully lit up when they saw Qin Wangchuan.

They quickly tidied their hair and straightened their spotless dresses.

As he approached, they all revealed smiles, some shy and some generous, and greeted him in soft voices:

"Young Master Qin, we meet again."

"Greetings, Young Master Qin."

Even bolder individuals stepped forward, holding the Jade Slip, their beautiful eyes brimming with affection, their voices so soft and sweet they seemed to drip with water:

"Senior Brother Qin, I've been struggling to grasp the Water Cloud Art lately, and I'm quite perplexed. Could you... perhaps offer some guidance?"

On the other side.

A graceful woman, gently waving a Folding Fan painted with landscapes, smiled sweetly.

"Young Master Qin, I've heard that you also have unique insights into the Talisman Dao. I wonder if I might have the honor of receiving a moment's guidance from Young Master?"

Her voice was clear and melodious, but her gaze was bold and direct.

Several other women, though not directly approaching, also gathered around Qin Wangchuan.

She giggled and whispered, but her eyes kept sneaking glances over, as if waiting for an opportunity.

Like a flock of butterflies, they surrounded Qin Wangchuan.

Meanwhile, the male cultivators who passed by reacted in various ways.

Some people cast complex glances from afar, their eyes filled with a mixture of envy and self-consciousness, and whispered among themselves to their companions.

Others wore expressions of pure admiration, bowing respectfully from afar. "Young Master Qin."

The battle on the Eleventh Layer of the Myriad Dao Book Palace completely convinced many people.

Even though they had no prior interaction with him, that pure respect stemming from his strength had quietly taken root in the hearts of many of his peers.

Qin Wangchuan walked among them, his expression calm and unperturbed, his steps leisurely.

He simply nodded slightly to every glance and greeting that came his way, responding appropriately without a trace of unnecessary emotion.

"Greetings, everyone."

He didn't take the Jade Slip directly, but instead spoke in a gentle tone:

"If you have any questions about the cultivation method, the elders of the Academy have been immersed in this path for a long time and their insights far surpass mine. It would be more appropriate to consult them."

"As for the Talisman Dao, I only have a superficial understanding of it."

The response was appropriate and the attitude was humble, yet it subtly created distance between them.

Upon hearing this, the female cultivators covered their mouths and chuckled softly.

"Young Master Qin is too modest."

"You really stunned us all with your skill in the last Talisman Art class."

"Yes, even Elder Yan said you are a once-in-a-millennium genius in the art of Talisman Dao."

Even so, they are all smart people who know when to stop while they're ahead.

After becoming somewhat familiar with them, they consciously made way for them.

Qin Wangchuan said no more, and without stopping, walked straight toward the Tracing Law Palace.

This is almost a daily routine for him.

Qin's status Qin Clan Divine Son, coupled with his stunning performance upon admission, destined him to be the focus of attention in the eyes of the opposite sex.

After all, not all women in the world are pure and innocent, with single-minded hearts.

There will always be people looking for shortcuts.

Once he leaves the Academy, it becomes incredibly difficult for ordinary people to even catch a glimpse of him.

Gu Yixuan followed at a distance, not daring to get too close, and watching Qin Wangchuan's effortless handling of the situation, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

As expected of Divine Son from a top-tier Aristocratic Clan, his manners and interactions with others are flawless.

As she was thinking, the elder who had arranged the tasks when she accepted this job suddenly flashed through her mind:

"Qin Wangchuan has a special status, and he is never short of people who want to curry favor with him."

"Besides daily tasks, you should also be mindful and, if necessary, shield him from overly enthusiastic advances..."

This thought jolted Gu Yixuan awake.

Almost instinctively, she wanted to quicken her pace and step forward to stop the female cultivators who were surrounding Qin Wangchuan.

However, just as she was about to take a step...

Qin Wangchuan, who was walking ahead, seemed to sense something, turned his head slightly, and glanced back at her.

His eyes were calm and expressionless, devoid of any emotion.

But it was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the courage she had just mustered.

Gu Yixuan froze on the spot, afraid to move.

Several female cultivators passing by glanced at her in the direction of Qin Wangchuan's gaze, assuming she was just another ordinary admirer infatuated with Young Master Qin. Their eyes held a hint of understanding and barely perceptible contempt, and they did not linger.

He looked away and continued walking.

Gu Yixuan suppressed her emotions and silently followed.

The two of them, one after the other, arrived at the Tracing Law Palace, where the lesson was to be held, under the watchful eyes of both the overt and covert gazes.

Before the ancient stone steps of the Tracing Law Palace, a graceful figure had been standing quietly for a long time.

The sunlight flowed over the girl's gorgeous yet elegant palace dress, outlining her breathtaking curves.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, casually tied back with a hairpin, with a few stray strands falling down her snow-white neck.

She simply stood there, and she was already a stunning ancient painting—serene, profound, and imbued with an inviolable nobility.

It was none other than Jiang Xuanli, the Eldest Princess of the Central Province Dynasty.
