"Heh heh." Tang Yan laughed foolishly.
"Heh heh heh." Qinglan sneered.
"Could you turn around first?" Tang Yan made his request.
"We're afraid you'll run." Qinglan refused.
He couldn't stay soaking in the water forever. Tang Yan could only climb out. After getting dressed, he cupped his hands and asked, "Fairy, has it been seven days already?"
"Two hours." Qinglan gave him the time.
"Why is there no Spiritual Qi left in the Immortal Pool? Are you reluctant to let this junior cultivate, Fairy?" Tang Yan asked innocently.
Qinglan's smile did not reach her eyes. "What do you think?"
Seeing their expressions, Tang Yan knew Qinglan and the others had figured something out. He said sheepishly, "It seems this junior absorbed a little extra Spiritual Qi while advancing."
"A little? You sucked it all dry!
"Under normal procedures, each disciple advances one minor rank inside, then comes out to let someone else enter.
"In previous years, the Immortal Pool could benefit a hundred and fifty people, helping them advance.
"And now look-our disciples haven't received a single drop of Spiritual Qi. It all went into your belly.
"What an appetite you have!" Qinglan said displeasedly.
"It truly was unintentional. In a state of enlightenment, I acted entirely on instinct. Please forgive me, Fairy!
"This disciple is willing to compensate you with pills," Tang Yan said, cupping his hands.
Seeing Tang Yan's proper attitude, much of the resentment in Qinglan's heart dissipated.
Tang Yan could not be blamed for this incident with the Immortal Pool.
The reason they had taken such an accusatory stance was actually that they had their eyes on Tang Yan's potential. They wanted to arrange a marriage with him and bind this promising prospect tightly to them!
