Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"You old rogue, is Senior Brother Jiang awake yet?!"

A spirited young girl hopped into the room, her beautiful starry eyes scanning the space before she spotted Jiang Yuetian sitting up on the bed.

In this world, the only person who would call Yunping an old rogue is our Ye Yuchan.

She excitedly strode towards Jiang Yuetian, and under his stunned gaze, she said joyfully, "Senior Brother Jiang, you're finally awake! We've been watching over you for a day or two without seeing any movement. You woke up as soon as that old rogue came. Did he give you some kind of Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill?"

"I……"

Jiang Yuetian gave a wry smile, seemingly unsure how to answer his junior sister, but his gaze eventually settled on Ye Yuchan's arm.

His expression hardened slightly. He glanced at Yun Ping, then asked in a low voice, "Junior Sister Yu Chan, what's wrong with your hand..."

At this moment, Ye Yuchan's hands were not intact; rather, her arms were wrapped in two snow-white stones, with countless arrays operating above them, seemingly repairing Ye Yuchan's limbs.

Yu Chan noticed Jiang Yuetian's gaze, smiled, and then put her hands behind her back. "It's nothing, just a minor injury. It won't stop me from picking up money~"

"In your current state, you think you can just pick up money?" Yun Ping said, looking at Ye Yuchan with a teasing smile. "Even if I put a mountain of gold in front of you, you wouldn't be able to move it."

"Who said that!" Ye Yuchan immediately got angry. "Although I can't use my hands, if you really put a mountain of gold in front of me, I could move it with my teeth and empty it."

Yunping and Jiang Yuetian: "..."

Judging from Yu Chan's attitude, she seems to be serious...

"Anyway, let's ignore Yu Chan for now."

Yunping silently gave Ye Yuchan a slap in the face, then said, "For the next while, I've had Chu Xin arrange several carriages for you. You can take them back to the courtyard house first."

"Shall we go back to the courtyard house first?"

Jiang Yuetian seemed to understand the meaning behind Yun Ping's words, and immediately tried to get up, but his still unrepaired body made him wince in pain.

Ye Yuchan immediately pressed Jiang Yuetian back down, signaling with her eyes for her senior brother to stop causing trouble, and then looked curiously at Yun Ping—

"From what you're saying, you're going to take care of something?"

"Isn't this to collect your rewards?" Yun Ping spread his hands easily, then reached out to ruffle Jiang Yuetian and Ye Yuchan's hair, a proud smile on his face. "You two did a great job this time, and the Lantian Empire will naturally reward you. I'm just going to collect them for you."

"Can't we just go and get it ourselves? Or..." Ye Yuchan seemed to sense a conspiracy and glanced suspiciously at Yun Ping, "You want to keep it all for yourself!"

"Go away, go away! Your master has so many treasures that they could fill the treasuries of more than a dozen imperial capitals. Why would you care about such a small reward?"

Jiang Yuetian tilted her head. "Then why did the teacher want us to go back first?"

"Because one of the rewards is very special...only the sect leader can enter, and I will select some suitable items for you."

"A place that only sect leaders can enter...?"

Ye Yuchan pouted and exchanged a glance with Jiang Yuetian, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Yunping had no intention of explaining further. He slowly stood up and said, "Alright, now that Xiao Jiang is awake, we can leave this awful place as soon as he feels a little better."

"A ghost town?" Jiang Yuetian seemed unable to understand why Yunping would describe such a prosperous place as the capital as a ghost town...

Seemingly noticing her senior brother's confusion, Ye Yuchan immediately put on a bitter face, "Senior Brother Jiang, you have no idea, these days those people outside have gone crazy, constantly looking for our Yuntian Academy. Luo Kui and Senior Sister Yuan'er are almost driven crazy by it, they almost caused a riot when they went out for a walk..."

"I'm even more pitiful. That old rogue forbade me from leaving the palace. I've been cooped up inside for days. If it weren't for Sister Chu Xin and Tuo Yan, I probably would have died of suffocation long ago!"

These words left Jiang Yuetian stunned. "Is it really that exaggerated...?"

"Yes." Yun Ping nodded affirmatively. "You guys have become famous this time. There are countless people in the capital who want to find you. They want to challenge you to a duel, they want to curry favor with you, they want to form an alliance. The number is too many to count. Your fame is comparable to that of a wanted murderer."

Jiang Yuetian: "Teacher, there seems to be something wrong with your analogy..."

When this was mentioned, Jiang Yuetian suddenly remembered something important.

"Speaking of which, teacher, what about the Jiang family..."

"There's been no reaction yet. Maybe it's because he lost the bet and is too afraid to show his face."

"I see..."

Jiang Yuetian lowered his head, and after a moment, he let out a long sigh.

This farce involving the Chiang family... has finally come to an end.

Yun Ping smiled as he looked at Jiang Yuetian, then silently yawned. He glanced at the magic circle that was faintly visible on Ye Yuchan's snow-white neck, and after confirming that it had not collapsed, he looked away.

"In short, that's all. You should rest for the next two days. Chu Xin will arrange for you to return to the courtyard house."

"As for Xiao Jiang, he should just stay in bed these days and let your junior sisters take care of him."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan's eyes lit up. "Then, then could I go outside and buy some tonics for Senior Brother Jiang? There are many in the commercial street outside the palace..."

Yunping: "No."

Ye Yuchan pouted, looked aggrieved, and lay on the table, gazing at the azure sky outside the window, uttering words of frustration from a troublemaker.

"I really want to go out and play..."

As always, Ye Yuchan wanted to cause trouble today.

156. The first female driver on Mount Akina has arrived! Sexy Luo Kui is speeding online.

Time flies.

A week has passed since the successful conclusion of this grand competition.

Within a week, the palace was almost completely surrounded. Elders and sect leaders from various famous sects, and even some long-hidden sects, all came out, naturally for the sake of the Cloud Sky Academy that had suddenly appeared and made a name for itself.

As the focus of everyone's attention, Yuntian Academy has not appeared in the public eye, as if it has completely disappeared.

In fact, the people of Yuntian Academy are indeed on the road to "disappearing".

Outside the capital, a narrow path is flanked by dense green forests—this is a passage for merchants with connections in the capital to enter and trade, and occasionally it also serves as a secret exit for some members of the royal family to sneak out.

"Yu Chan, we have to go."

The black-haired girl sitting in the inconspicuous carriage poked her head out, her right hand, bound by snow-white bandages, resting on the windowsill, looking at the back of the silver-haired girl dressed in a black and white maid outfit.

The girl named Ye Yuchan stood with her hands on her hips, facing the vast and magnificent imperial capital in front of her. After taking a deep breath, she returned to the carriage with a faint smile.

Lifting the curtain, the interior of the carriage, enhanced by the spatial array, seemed to have expanded several times compared to its surface. The narrow space on the outside, only a few cubic meters, contained a spacious area inside, resembling a palace hall.

"Phew~ The outside world is still the most comfortable."

She slowly sat down next to Zhang Ruoxue, glanced back at the lush and pleasing scenery outside the window, and sighed sincerely, "I'm so bored in the palace these days, I'm practically growing mushrooms. If I don't go back to the courtyard house soon... I'll be driven crazy sooner or later."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Fan Luo Kui, who was holding her sword sheath and standing upright not far away, also felt quite helpless about it: "After all, our Yuntian Academy had never appeared in the public eye before. Not only did we suddenly appear, but we also took first place on the Lin Ranking and second place on the Lan Ranking. It's impossible not to attract attention."

"But they don't have to go around blocking us everywhere, do they?"

Thinking about what she had been through these past few days, Ye Yuchan pouted in dissatisfaction, resting her chin on one hand while drawing circles on the table with the other. "Now I understand what it feels like for celebrities to be surrounded by paparazzi. Sometimes being too famous really isn't a good thing..."

"People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat. My teacher once said this, and now it seems there's some truth to it."

Jiang Yuetian said weakly. Although his injuries had mostly healed, the mental exhaustion caused by burning his blood and qi had not recovered so quickly.

Upon hearing Yunping's name, Xiaolin Yuan, who was fiddling with sheet music in the corner, suddenly had her eyes light up.

"Speaking of which—Yuan'er doesn't seem to have seen Teacher. Where did he go?"

"Didn't that old rogue tell Senior Sister Yuan'er?" Ye Yuchan was stunned. "The old rogue said he went to collect the reward on our behalf and told us to go back to the courtyard and wait."

"A reward?" Lin Yuan tilted her head, pouted, and looked adorably puzzled.

Jiang Yuetian nodded and said softly, "We don't know the specifics either. Our teacher didn't say it explicitly—he only said it's a reward that only the sect leader can receive. But given the status of the Lantian Empire, it shouldn't be too bad."

This is only natural. After all, they are a dominant force in the Desolate Heaven Domain, rivaling the Northern Ice Palace. If they only offered a King-grade magic weapon as the prize for first place on the Lan Ranking, they would definitely be ridiculed by the world.

"I have a question."

Suddenly, Zhang Ruoxue raised her right hand.

All eyes turned to her.

Zhang Ruoxue silently drew back the curtain, and in an instant, the four famous Fiery Cloud Horses of the capital stood in perfect order, their reins tied to two red pillars on the side of the carriage, waiting for someone to untie them.

"If we want to go back... here's the problem—"

Who will drive the horses?

……

silence.

The people present exchanged glances, each seeing the complex emotions in the other's eyes.

Everyone here knows how to ride a horse, even Ye Yuchan knows a little bit about riding – at least she won't fall off the horse and land face down.

However, riding a horse is completely different from riding a horse. If you don't have a certain level of skill, the carriage might overturn, which would be a serious accident.

It's certain that none of the students from Yuntian Academy wanted to end up with a level two disability because of a rollover... No matter how you look at it, it would be too embarrassing.

After about five seconds of silence, a hand was silently raised.

In an instant, everyone turned to the owner of that hand as if they had seen a savior.

"I used to learn how to ride horses, and my skills are pretty good; at least I won't tip over."

The speaker was Fan Luokui, the former captain of the Northern Ice Palace Trial Team.

……

An awkward atmosphere filled the air once again.

Zhang Ruoxue glanced at Fan Luokui, then, as if she hadn't seen anything, continued to ask, "Is there anyone else who can ride a horse?"

They were completely ignored!

Fan Luo Kui paused for a moment, then instinctively raised her hand a little higher, "I can..."

Zhang Ruoxue, still unwilling to give up, looked at Ye Yuchan and the others: "Is there anyone else?"

"..." Fan Luo Kui twitched the corners of her mouth. For some reason, she suddenly felt excluded and immediately asked, "Senior Sister Zhang, can't I ride the horse?"

Faced with Fan Luokui's question, Zhang Ruoxue sighed helplessly, then walked up to Fan Luokui earnestly and patted her on the shoulder.

"Luo Kui, have you forgotten..."

"Are you directionally challenged?"

Fan Luokui: "..."
