The Sect Monthly

Early in the morning, after washing up and getting dressed, Xuanyuan Haoyue went to He Rui's room next door.

The large compound where the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak live consists of twenty-two smaller courtyards, each with six rooms.

Besides Xuanyuan Haoyue, the other four rooms were also starting to move. Some people were opening their doors and fetching water from the deep pool in the courtyard with wooden basins, while others had already finished washing up and were heading out to the Cultivation Hall to prepare for class.

Only He Rui's room remained completely silent.

Xuanyuan Haoyue knocked on the door twice, but there was no response from inside.

Based on her interactions with this Miss He over this period of time, she knew that this person couldn't possibly have left early; she must be sleeping in again!

Knowing He Rui's unwavering nature when she was asleep, she didn't knock again and simply pushed the door open and entered.

When these houses were first built, the sect installed basic restrictions on each room, allowing only the owner to control access.

Two young girls, barely out of their teens, met at the sect. Despite their different backgrounds and personalities, they unexpectedly got along well and became close friends within a few days.

He Rui was aware of her bad habit of sleeping in late, so she granted Xuanyuan Haoyue access to her room early on.

That is why Xuanyuan Haoyue has taken such a presumptuous action.

Otherwise, she would never have trespassed into someone else's room without permission.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the room, she saw He Rui sleeping soundly in bed, hugging her blanket.

Xuanyuan Haoyue sighed helplessly and went over to call her.

For some reason, even though everyone's energy was much better after practicing cultivation and they needed less sleep, He Rui still maintained a full night's sleep and even slept in late.

After being shaken awake by Xuanyuan Haoyue, He Rui groggily got up, sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed her eyes, and yawned widely.

"Little Yue'er, Xiaoyue. Thank you for waking me up again today." She greeted Xuanyuan Haoyue while yawning.

Xuanyuan Haoyue took a comb from the side and put it in her hand:

"It's getting late, Sister Rui'er. If you don't get moving now, you'll be late."

The two were ranked by age; He Rui was seventeen this year, Dayi year older than Xuanyuan Haoyue, and that's how they decided on how to address each other.

Upon hearing this, He Rui immediately became more alert, opened her eyes wide, and began to comb her hair.

Once she was sure she wouldn't drift off to sleep again, Xuanyuan Haoyue got up and said:

"I still need to pack some things and go back to my room first. Sister Rui'er, you have to hurry, today is the Sect Master's class."

After saying that, she hurriedly went back to her room.

He Rui also fully sobered up when she heard her last sentence.

Yes, it's the sect leader's class!

As a result, He Rui, who was originally a bit lazy because she had just woken up, suddenly became several times faster!

Those in the courtyard saw a figure suddenly rush out, quickly fill a basin with water, and then, in the blink of an eye, carry the basin back into the house.

A few breaths later, everyone saw He Rui emerge from the room, looking radiant and beautiful. She carried the small backpack they had sewn together some time ago and stood in front of Xuan Yuan's door, knocking.

"Little Yue'er, I'm all ready! Let's go to class!"

The two girls, each carrying a small backpack and a water bottle in one hand, headed together to the Cultivation Hall on Azure Cloud Peak.

When they arrived at the classroom, they found that Lin Xiao was already there, leaning against the podium, answering questions from the students who were gathered around him.

Without saying anything else, the two quickly went to their seats, put down their water cups and backpacks, and then took out their notebooks and joined the crowd of people asking questions.

Lin Xiao efficiently finished answering the questions of the disciples around him before the class bell rang.

Because almost every day during class, each instructor would answer questions from students after class, so the students didn't accumulate many questions.

The disciples who came to ask questions this morning were mostly those who had new doubts that arose when they went home to review their studies the previous night.

The bell for the Azure Cloud Peak Cultivation Hall is a small bell specially made by the Artifact Refining Hall so that everyone can attend class on time. It is hung outside the main gate of the Azure Cloud Peak Cultivation Hall.

It rings precisely at the start and end times of each class, and it doesn't even consume a single Spirit Stone in a year, making it extremely useful.

The bell rang three times and then stopped. All the disciples were already seated in their respective positions, looking at the lecturer Lin Xiao on the podium with serious expressions.

Although these hundred-plus disciples each have their own personality and habits, not one of them has been late during this period of time.

Every day when the bell rings, the Cultivation Hall is always full.

This made Bai Zhu, who was in charge of attendance, very easy in recording attendance.

Unlike usual, Lin Xiao did not begin the lesson as soon as the bell rang.

Before today's lesson, I'll show you something.

As he spoke, Lin Xiao raised his hand, and stacks of papers flew to each disciple.

The crowd was puzzled, assuming it was something about cultivation.

But when they reached out and took it, they discovered that it wasn't what they expected.

The top page of the stack of papers in my hand had a very eye-catching title: "Lingxian Monthly".

Below this title were many subheadings.

Announcements included things like "The new sect area Everbright Mountain, is officially open!", "The new research product of the Artifact Refining Hall has been released!", "New items added to the Disciple Contribution Exchange Area!", "New books added to the Library this month", and "New dishes added to the Spirit Cuisine Hall this month".

It seems a bit novel, but I'm not sure. Let me take another look.

Everyone showed great curiosity about the copy of "Lingxian Monthly" in their hands.

After seeing that everyone had received theirs, Lin Xiao spoke:

"This is our sect's monthly report. From now on, any new changes within the sect, non-urgent announcements, and various news and information from the outside world will be published here. You can check if it contains a lot of information that you'd like to know. Of course, if you feel there's any content that's suitable for this monthly report but isn't included, you can submit your suggestions to the General Affairs Hall."

After speaking, Lin Xiao noticed that the disciples below seemed to still be studying the titles on the cover, and then continued:

"Gathering information is a very important part of our lives, especially now that we're cultivating. As cultivators, we can't just bury ourselves in cultivation and ignore worldly affairs. So, gathering information is also a serious matter. This is the first time everyone has seen our sect's monthly report. You can take a look now. I'll make up for the time I spent on it later, so don't worry."

The disciples of the Lingxian Sect are very different from ordinary students in that they are not averse to cultivation and are even eager to learn.
