Two months later.
At the dormitory building in the Shrek Outer Court.
"Master, we're heading back now."
Huo Yudie took Tang Wutong's hand and waved goodbye to Chu Ge with a smile.
"Mm-hmm."
"Make sure you get some rest when you get back."
Chu Ge answered with a smile on his face.
With that, he watched the two of them walk farther and farther away until they disappeared from sight.
During this time, both Huo Yudie and Tang Wutong had enjoyed peaceful, happy lives at the academy.
Their lives were peaceful, of course, because nothing much had disturbed their academy days. After they defeated Dai Huabin twice, there was hardly anything left that could trouble them.
Meanwhile, Huo Yudie had become the undisputed leader of the Outer Court's first-year students, someone no one dared provoke.
As her close friend, Tang Wutong had likewise become someone everyone knew they should not offend lightly.
How could their lives not be peaceful?
As for being happy...
With a master who was both teacher and friend, little Huo Yudie was in a wonderful mood every day, and even her roommate Tang Wutong shared in that happiness.
Both girls were now cultivating efficiently every day, to a degree that even surprised Chu Ge, and they were working hard toward the rank of Soul Elder.
"Everything's fine with Yudie and Wutong."
"But Xiaotao..."
A helpless look crossed Chu Ge's face.
After that incident two months ago, his previously good relationship with Ma Xiaotao had grown cold. They had practically become strangers.
That very day, the girl had run whenever she saw him.
Before he could even find her to clear things up, Ma Xiaotao had simply up and left the Inner Court. According to Yan Shaozhe, she had gone out to gain experience...
Gain experience? Gain
