Han Yue

The woman then realized what was happening. A section of her snow-white wrist emerged from her silver sleeve, and her smooth, jade-like hand gently took Lin Qing's hand. She quickly stood up.

"You need to watch where you're going next time!"

The woman's originally cold gaze softened slightly, and her red lips parted slightly, letting out a clear, melodious voice, as pure and cold as a secluded spring flowing from a snow-capped mountain.

A faint, fleeting smile, like a night-blooming cereus, appeared on the woman's originally indifferent face, causing Lin Qing to be slightly lost in thought upon seeing it.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry to find someone. My name is Lin Qing, and I'm a new elder in the Alchemy Department. If you need any Medicinal Pill refined in the future, you can come to the Alchemy Department to find me. I don't charge for pills below the fifth grade, and I'll give you a discount for fifth and Tier 6!"

Lin Qing said with a slight hint of apology.

"Are you an elder of the academy's Alchemy Department? Or Sixth-Grade Alchemist?"

The woman's once calm eyes were now filled with shock, and even her usually clear and cold voice sounded slightly surprised.

She never expected that the person in front of her, who was not even as old as her, would be an elder of the Alchemy Department. Her grandfather had said that to become an elder at the Jia Nan Academy, one had to be a Dou Wang level expert, and the other person seemed to be a Sixth-Grade Alchemist.

She didn't know whether the other person was lying to her or not, but surely no one would tell such a blatant lie?

If it's true, that talent is terrifying! Why haven't she heard of it? Han Yue suddenly became curious about Lin Qing.

"Yes, I am a Sixth-Grade Alchemist!"

Just as Lin Qing was about to say that he had only joined the academy today and that not many people knew about it, and was about to produce his elder's token as proof,

A voice as gentle as a spring breeze, so tender it was intoxicating, came from behind them:

"Ah! Isn't this Elder Lin?"

Lin Qing turned her head and saw that the person who came was a young girl dressed in green, with a full figure and a mature charm. The girl's beautiful face had a gentle smile, and her eyes, like clear water, were gentle and lively, making people unable to help but be immersed in her gentleness.

This was the same Ruolin he had met in Desert City. It was only because he hadn't paid attention to her that, firstly, people who are beautiful, stunning, or have distinctive features are always easy to remember, and secondly, her temperament was similar to Lin Qi's, or rather, somewhat similar to the temperament he preferred.

Lin Qing said with some surprise:

"Oh, it's Instructor Ruolin!"

A hint of surprise appeared on Ruolin's gentle face. She hadn't expected that Lin Qing, whom she had only caught a glimpse of briefly, would actually remember her. Instantly, a strange light shone in her eyes, and she smiled Yanran, "Elder Lin, do you know me?"

Lin Qing smiled slightly:

"Hehe, I witnessed Instructor Ruolin's brilliance in Desert City that day."

Ruolin smiled softly:

"It seems Elder Lin still remembers me!"

Actually, she hesitated a bit before going up to say hello. She knew Lin Qing, but she was also afraid that Lin Qing wouldn't recognize her. What if she went up to say hello and the other person asked, "Who are you?" That would be awkward.

Seeing that Lin Qing seemed to be in some trouble, and that he was facing Han Yue from the neighboring Mystic Tier Class 1, a genius girl from Central Plains, while Lin Qing was Headmaster, she decided to come and check on the situation.

Yes! That's exactly it.

Thankfully, the embarrassing situation she had anticipated didn't happen, otherwise she would have wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.

Lin Qing smiled gently:

"Someone as young, accomplished, gentle, and beautiful as Professor Ruolin, it must be very difficult to forget her, right?"

Hearing Lin Qing's words, Ruolin couldn't help but roll her eyes charmingly and laughed:

"It seems Elder Lin can joke too. I thought Elder Lin was the kind of person who only knew how to cultivate!"

In her opinion, Lin Qing was just joking with her. First, Lin Qing was the one who was young and promising, while she was still worrying about breaking through to the Dou Zhe and making a living at Lin Qing's age. Second, Lin Qing was truly handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and a handsome appearance. He was a complete heartthrob, and she was no match for Lin Qing at all.

Lin Qing didn't respond to Ruolin's sarcastic remarks, because he had indeed spent most of his life cultivating.

But Ruolin seems to have recruited students from Wutan City, right? Then Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei should be in her class, right?

So he asked:

"By the way, Professor Ruolin, are there two members of the Xiao Clan from Wutan City in your class, named Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei?"

Ruolin nodded slightly:

"I did recruit students in Wutan City, and there are indeed these two people in my class. Elder Lin, do you know them?"

Originally, four people from the Xiao Clan came. One of them, Xiao Ding, had reached the S-level in talent. He said that his two younger brothers were also quite talented and wanted to sign up. Later, his other younger brother Xiao Li, also passed the test and reached the A-level in talent. However, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li came to tell him the next day that something had happened to their younger brother, so they wouldn't be coming.

Thinking of this, Ruolin still felt a little regretful. In her opinion, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were more talented than herself. As long as they entered Jia Nan Academy, becoming Dou Ling was a sure thing. However, they had not officially Jia Nan Academy yet, and she could not force them.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei didn't say they weren't coming, otherwise she would have really cried her eyes out.

"I do know them. They're my childhood sweethearts. I'll be relying on you to take good care of them from now on!"

Lin Qing said with a smile.

After speaking, Lin Qing took out three Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring. One bottle contained a Three-Tailed Green Spirit Pill, and the other two each contained a Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.

"A mere Three-Tailed Green Spirit Pill and two Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills are but a token of my respect."

He was afraid that Ruolin wouldn't recognize it and would use it haphazardly, so he specifically mentioned the name. This is because some people may never be able to afford expensive Medicinal Pill in their entire lives. In the Dou Qi Continent, Alchemist are rare, which leads to the high price of Medicinal Pill and the prestige of Alchemist. Only those with money or the support of power can enjoy Medicinal Pill.

It's highly likely that Ruolin is out of money and has no one to support her, after all, she will still be Da Dou Shi in a few years.

Therefore, these two kinds of Medicinal Pill are very suitable for Ruolin, a novice mentor who has just been promoted to Da Dou Shi.

"So they are Elder Lin's clansmen? No wonder they are so outstanding! But taking care of the students is the instructor's responsibility, Elder Lin, please rest assured! I absolutely cannot accept these Medicinal Pills!"

Ruolin quickly waved her hand in refusal and did not take the Jade Bottle that Lin Qing offered.

Now Ruolin is a newly appointed mentor, full of energy and vitality, unlike Ma Jun, who has been a mentor for many years and is somewhat slick and worldly.

"Please accept this, Instructor Ruolin. They'll need your help for the next few years! Consider this my way of thanking you!"

After saying that, he forcefully pulled Ruolin's soft hand and shoved the Jade Bottle into her hand.

Seeing Lin Qing's serious expression, Ruolin accepted the Medicinal Pill.

'Fine, I'll just have to pay more attention to them from now on!'

Ruolin sighed inwardly.

Even if Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei weren't Lin Qing's childhood sweethearts, she would still take good care of them. After all, they were her hopes for promotion and a raise, not to mention that she had now given them such precious Medicinal Pill. She had to do her best to help them.

Although these Medicinal Pill might be insignificant to Lin Qing, they were invaluable to her, capable of enhancing her strength. They were something money couldn't necessarily buy, especially since she didn't have much money to begin with.

If she doesn't use it herself, it's enough to pay off her tuition and living expenses.

Lin Qing simply didn't want her own people to be wronged.

Sending a small gift will always be a good thing for them. In my past life, my teachers were kind to me and helped me apply for subsidies. When I earned money from my part-time job, I would buy some things and visit my teachers.

This is a basic exchange, unavoidable unless the conditions are not met.

"So, what's your name, student?"

After chatting with Ruolin, Lin Qing didn't forget the girl beside him and asked her a question.

The girl looked at Lin Qing with a strange gaze and softly replied, "My name is Han Yue."
