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

Xiao Mei gently helped Xiao Hua up. At that moment, Xiao Hua's soul was extremely weak. In that instant, the sharp light pierced through Xiao Hua's eyes and severely damaged her soul.

If it weren't for that high-level formation, Ye Yuchan would already be completely obedient to them.

However, this plan failed.

That's why Han Wuhe changed her mind at the last minute; originally, they wanted to completely absorb Ye Yuchan's power.

But now, all we can do is try our best to keep her out of this incident.

"really--"

Xiao Mei's expression was extremely gloomy, and she muttered to herself in a deep voice:

“That sir is right… Yuntian Academy is indeed the greatest threat in this operation…”

"But time will be running out."

She lowered her head and looked at the ground, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate the floor tiles and reach deeper underground.

"They probably won't make it—"

71. Opening simultaneously

Although it happened suddenly, please think about it carefully.

who am I?

A name is simply a more convenient way for others to refer to someone. Just like wine is called wine because calling it "a liquid that smells special and makes you dizzy" would be too long.

Ultimately, the purpose of naming something is simply to highlight its characteristics and to make it easier to pronounce.

So--

After discarding the names, what remains—the people...or the things?

biology?

What is a creature that walks in the world wearing a skin, wrapped in flesh, and supported by bones?

Indeed, if all people were like this, sharing similar blood, bearing faces that, though different, lacked any clear distinction, speaking similar yet different languages, and doing things that could be done or not done—

If that's the case.

There should be no difference between people.

but it is not the truth.

Some people are born different; their blood is dark yellow, their hearts are as firm as a rock, their skin is as white as snow, and their eyes burn with intense heat.

This is what distinguishes them from ordinary people, something that has existed from the very beginning—

【fundamental】

This is something that cannot be discarded, something that cannot be denied under any circumstances, something that has always existed, even if everything is forgotten, even if everything is lost, even if one tries one's best to deny everything...

The fundamentals have remained unchanged.

If that's the case, then—

"Remember it..."

Before the endless, dark abyss, the woman's light yet empty words echoed in my ears.

Cycle after cycle, cycle after cycle.

He kept repeating the same sentence.

"who are you?"

…………

…………

…………

The academy held a grand three-day ceremony.

It is not held at the First or Second Gate. As a major festival held once every five years, the Three-Day Academy will naturally have its own unique venue for the grand ceremony.

They merged the "One-Character Gate" and the "Two-Character Gate".

Yes.

Because the One-Character Gate and the Two-Character Gate are inherently related to spatial techniques, and several teachers in the Three-Character Gate are particularly proficient in such techniques, the formation set up by the teachers can link these two originally unrelated spaces in order to allow the disciples of the One-Character Gate and the Two-Character Gate to participate in the three-day academy grand ceremony at the same time.

"So what we're standing on right now should be called the 'One and a Half Gate'?"

The silver-haired girl named Ye Yuchan, with an orange-flavored lollipop in her mouth, suddenly realized something and said.

Standing in front of her, the blond youth in a black trench coat rolled his eyes. "I suspect that you've been hanging out with the teacher all day, and your brain is starting to go haywire."

"What do you mean by 'getting involved with him'..."

Ye Yuchan blushed and quickly raised her head: "That old rogue has been missing for the past few days. I was planning to talk to him, but he's not in the office."

Having said that, Ye Yuchan pouted, her face clearly showing her dissatisfaction.

"They're probably busy dealing with something important."

Who knows?

Regardless, Ye Yuchan was getting used to not seeing Yunping for so long.

Basically, this inexplicable longing can only be slightly relieved in dreams—and in dreams, the old rogue not only doesn't deserve a beating, but also always maintains his handsome appearance.

As for reality... Ye Yuchan didn't even want to talk about that smug grin that made her want to punch him three times.

"then--"

As they spoke, Jiang Shaoguang inevitably noticed the several rows of Three Heavens Academy disciples standing respectfully behind Ye Yuchan, and his gaze towards Ye Yuchan was filled with a strange look: "Who are these people behind you...?"

He had barely finished speaking when he saw the rows of people bowing to him in unison.

At the same time, a deafening sound rang out in unison.

"Hello, big brother!!"

Wow... This scene shocked Jiang Shaoguang so much that his ears hurt.

Jiang Shaoguang's face was slightly pale. He picked at his aching ear and stared at Ye Yuchan in astonishment.

Our Yu Chan sighed and said, "As you can see, these can be considered my little brothers for now..."

"Yu Chan, I didn't realize!" Jiang Shaoguang's opinion of Ye Yu Chan changed immediately: "You used to be involved in the underworld?!"

"Go away! Get lost! I'm as quiet and gentle as can be, how could I possibly be a scoundrel!"

"You..." Jiang Shaoguang looked at Ye Yuchan, his lips twitching: "Wenjing?"

Jiang Shaoguang's reaction made Ye Yuchan want to punch her senior brother right then and there.

But considering the disparity in strength, she decided against it.

"Alright, I'm not going to joke with you anymore." Ye Yuchan waved her hand, then pulled out a tattered object from her bosom: "This, Senior Brother, do you remember it?"

Jiang Shaoguang took the thing and looked at it.

It was clearly a badly damaged sachet, pink in color, with a rabbit printed on it, but the rabbit's head looked like it had been blown off.

Upon seeing this object, Jiang Shaoguang frowned.

"I didn't expect there actually was... the bewitching techniques of the demon race..."

"The art of enchantment?"

Ye Yuchan was stunned upon hearing this, and the image of those enchanting purple eyes seemed to slowly emerge in her mind.

It's a very vague memory, but I have some recollection of it.

Jiang Shaoguang nodded, then put away the sachet. This time, his expression froze into a serious one: "I heard that the place you are going to might be hostile to you by the demon race, which made me think of the seductive arts of the demon race, especially the seductive arts of the fox demon race. I almost fell for it before."

"I originally put it on you just in case, but I didn't expect it to actually trigger..."

"Trigger" means—

Jiang Shaoguang paused, looked at Ye Yuchan carefully, and only after confirming that she was not under control did he say with relief, "This magic array can help you resist an impact on your soul. Moreover, the material of this sachet is made from the skin of a fox demon. Theoretically speaking, it can even completely counter the seductive arts of the demon race."

In other words, you have been tried to control.

control……

Almost subconsciously, Ye Yuchan thought of Xiao Mei and the fox demon.

Could it be around that time—

Is it to control oneself, and then to allow oneself to be completely controlled by K-pop?

Indeed, that makes sense.

After all, in a power struggle, no one wants to fight each other. If a problem can be solved without bloodshed, why resort to violence?

If it weren't for this sachet protecting me back then, perhaps I would have already become Han Wuhe's puppet?

That woman from the Han family, she really has some tricks up her sleeve!

Thinking of this, Ye Yuchan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at Jiang Shaoguang gratefully: "Thank you so much, Senior Brother. This sachet really saved me."

"It was only once..."

Jiang Shaoguang, however, was far from relieved, after all, Ye Yuchan was his junior sister: "Is the problem solved now? If not..."

"You'll help me solve this?" Ye Yuchan glanced at him.

"No~" Jiang Shaoguang chuckled, "I was thinking of asking Junior Sister Luo Kui to lend you a hand; she's quite the busybody, isn't she?"

—As expected, this lazy pigeon could never be so proactive!

"But it should be alright now."

Remembering what Han Wuhe had said to her yesterday, Ye Yuchan didn't really intend to fight Han Wuhe to the death.

Now it seems that the other party may have realized that they had someone helping them and that they failed to control them, so they turned to making peace requests.

"Really?"

"……perhaps."
