Let Heaven Judge Loyalty and Treachery!

Han Yue stood there, her expression somewhat subtle.

She glanced at Qin Yu, then at the direction where Zi Yan had disappeared, and finally said nothing, only nodding slightly.

I'm leaving now.

After saying that, she turned and left the courtyard, sighing as she walked.

"Puff..."

Before Xiao Yi Xian could even laugh out loud, Qin Yu glared at her and shut her up.

"Pfft... Hahahaha! I can't take it anymore! I can't hold back!"

The more Qin Yu looked at her, the more Xiao Yi Xian wanted to laugh.

Qin Yu showed no mercy, and after giving Xiao Yi Xian a good beating, she never dared to misbehave again.

"You, who are clearly terrible at this, always have to stand up and provoke others."

Xiao Yi Xian buried her head in the pillow, wanting to argue, but her voice was already a little hoarse from begging for mercy.

With a "smack".

Qin Yu patted Xiao Yi Xian's pert spot, then got up to prepare the next snack for Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian.

It has to be said, Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation speed is truly freakish.

Let's take Han Yue as an example.

When Qin Yu left Jia Nan Academy, Han Yue was Nine-Star Battle Master. At that time, he hadn't met Xiao Yi Xian yet, and he guessed that she was at most Dou Zhe.

Currently, Han Yue is Nine-Star Great Battle Master, while Xiao Yi Xian is Six-Star Great Battle Master, with only a three-level difference between them.

but...

I've advanced four levels in two months, not bad at all?

The next morning, Qin Yu was stretching in the courtyard when a purple figure descended from the sky.

"Qin Yu!"

As soon as Zi Yan's feet touched the ground, she skipped and hopped over, her little face beaming with pride.

"Did I do a great job last night? Shouldn't you make me another batch of pills?"

Qin Yu looked at her smug little face, remained silent for a moment, and then raised his hand to give her a sharp rap on the head.

"Ouch!"

Zi Yan covered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, her big eyes wide open.

Why did you hit me!

"You'd better keep those kinds of thoughts to yourself from now on."

Qin Yu withdrew his hand and looked at her expressionlessly.

"You came and ran away so late at night, acting like a thief. Aren't you embarrassed?"

"Wasn't I doing that for your happiness?"

Zi Yan spoke eloquently, hands on her hips, conveying the message that she was clearly doing this for Zi Yan's own good, but Zi Yan was ungrateful.

"What if I interrupt your good time and you refuse to make me the little pills?"

"..."

Qin Yu took a deep breath and decided not to lower himself to the level of this little girl.

"Alright, alright, you came here just to curry favor?"

"Of course not! I'm here to get the pills!"

Qin Yu smiled helplessly and took out three large bottles full of small pills from his Storage Ring.

Upon seeing the delicious food, Zi Yan immediately forgot about the sharp rebuke she had received earlier and leaned closer, her eyes sparkling.

"Take it, eat it sparingly."

"Qin Yu! You are the best person I've ever met!"

Zi Yan accepted the three jade bottles, so excited she almost took off on the spot.

She opened the bottle and took a sniff; a rich, sweet fragrance wafted out, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"Qin Yu, don't worry."

Zi Yan, holding the jade bottle, approached Qin Yu and lowered her voice.

"If you ever flirt with other girls in the Inner Academy in the future, I promise I won't tell Xiao Yi Xian!"

Qin Yu raised his hand again.

This time, Zi Yan was smarter. She took three steps back while holding the jade bottle, but she still couldn't dodge it.

"Ouch!"

Another sharp rap on the head.

Zi Yan winced in pain, but when she looked down at the three jade bottles in her arms, she felt it was all worth it.

"If you hit me a few more times, can you get a few more bottles?"

"You wish!"

Zi Yan chuckled, carefully tucked the jade bottle into her sleeve, and then skipped and hopped away.

As she reached the door, she turned back and winked at Qin Yu.

"Remember to call me next time something like this happens! I don't mind taking a few more hits."

After saying that, the purple figure soared into the sky and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yu shook his head. What was this little girl thinking about all day?

Not long after Zi Yan left, there was a commotion upstairs.

Xiao Yi Xian held onto the stair railing and walked down the stairs step by step, her legs visibly trembling.

Qin Yu looked up at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Woke up?"

Xiao Yi Xian glared at him; if looks could kill, Qin Yu would have been dead eight hundred times over.

"It's all your fault..."

She leaned against the wall, walked to the table, sat down, picked up her water glass, took a sip, and finally caught her breath.

"Who started this last night?"

"That was... that was a normal reaction!"

"Normal reaction?"

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half-smile.

"It's just a normal... cough... reaction!"

When Xiao Yi Xian shouted loudly, her voice suddenly cracked, and she was so embarrassed that she could only lower her head and eat without saying a word.

After a while, she raised her head, as if she had remembered something.

"By the way, have you considered participating in the Inner Academy's Strong List competition?"

"Strong List?"

Qin Yu was taken aback; he hadn't really thought about that carefully.

"You're Six-Star Dou Ling now, you should be able to get a good ranking if you participate, right?"

Qin Yu leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

No rush.

He had the privileges of the Elder Huo, access to free medicinal herbs from the Medicinal Materials Vault, and a channel for exchanging pills for Fire Energy arranged by Shen Yuan.

The Strong List on the leaderboard are nothing to him.

"At my current cultivation speed, I can reach the Dou Ling Peak in just a few months. Wouldn't it be easier to compete on the Strong List then?"

Xiao Yi Xian thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Qin Yu's cultivation level had increased dramatically in the past two months, leaving her completely stunned.

Is my Woeful Poison Body no longer strong?

Damn it, they gave me such a huge debuff, now even my cultivation speed is going to slow down?

Woeful Poison Body: I beseech Heaven to discern the loyal from the treacherous!

You don't even see the state Qin Yu beat me up in? You still want to improve so quickly? Dream on!

"Alright, as long as you understand."

After finishing his meal, Qin Yu left his dormitory and headed towards the Medicine Gang.

His Fire Energy had been almost completely depleted during the two months of intensive training, so he needed to ask Shen Yuan to arrange another batch.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Medicine Gang, Qin Yu spotted a figure loitering around the entrance from afar.

Upon closer inspection, lo and behold, wasn't this the guy he slapped away last time?

Qin Yu didn't stop walking; he headed straight for the door.

The young man seemed to sense something, raised his head, and met Qin Yu's gaze.

The young man's face changed drastically. He lowered his head abruptly, turned around, and slunk away along the wall without even saying goodbye.

Qin Yu watched his departing figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.

This person is quite sensible; they know to avoid trouble if they can't afford to offend them. I wonder what their name is.

However, Qin Yu soon learned the man's name from Shen Yuan.

"... You mean, that guy's name is Han Xian?"
