Seeing that the girls were still somewhat confused, Xiao Ling changed the subject and said, "Don't think about Xun'er for now. Let's talk about something else. Little Doctor Fairy, have you made any new progress in your recent research on poisons?"

The Little Medical Fairy wrinkled her nose and replied, "Don't mention it. I've hit a bottleneck. Some materials are too hard to find. The 'Shadow Deadly Poison' that I wanted to refine before couldn't be prepared because it was still lacking the venom of a sixth-level snake monster."

Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, take your time. When Qinglin is strong enough, he can subdue a sixth-level monster and get some snake venom for you. Senior Sister Han Yue, how about you? I haven't seen you for a year. I'm sure your cultivation should have improved a lot, right?"

Han Yue brushed her hair gently and replied: "It's going well. Now I am already a three-star Dou Wang, but sometimes I feel that the days of training are a bit boring."

After he finished speaking, Han Yue looked at Xiao Ling with a puzzled expression, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Noticing the look from his senior sister, Xiao Ling nodded implicitly.

Qing Lin blinked and interrupted, "I think every day is quite interesting. I am very happy to be with the young master."

Xiao Ling touched Qinglin's head and said, "Haha, Qinglin has a really good attitude. By the way, I've been craving for that dessert called 'Emerald Jade Cake' recently. Qinglin, didn't you say you'd give it a try recently? How's the progress?"

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, Little Medical Fairy interrupted and said, "Qing Lin made a portion of that kind of snack just now. It tasted pretty good, but we ate it all because it was so delicious. Xiao Ling, you don't have this good fortune."

After saying that, the Little Medical Fairy blinked mischievously, with an unsatisfied look on her face.

Xiao Ling shrugged helplessly and said in a complaining tone, "You guys are too mean to leave me any."

Qing Lin smiled shyly and said, "Master, I'll make more next time and I promise you'll have enough to eat."

After hearing this, the girls covered their mouths and laughed softly, creating a very cheerful atmosphere.

Just as everyone was laughing, a familiar figure slowly walked over. It was Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Xun'er had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes fell on Xiao Ling first, full of tenderness.

"You must be having a great time here." Xiao Xun'er said with her red lips slightly opened.

When everyone saw Xiao Xun'er, the smiles on their faces froze slightly. Xiao Ling hurriedly said, "Xun'er, you came out so soon. Have you dealt with the matter?"

Seeing Xiao Ling asking, Xiao Xun'er nodded, "It's been resolved. Things went smoothly. It's just as Brother Xiao Ling said."

"I see. I'm glad it was resolved successfully." Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the two of them communicated quite harmoniously and there was no conflict.

Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and said, "I just heard your laughter from afar, I wonder what you were talking about so happily?"

Little Medical Fairy smiled and replied, "Miss Xun'er, we ate up all the snacks that Qinglin made just now, but Xiao Ling didn't get to taste any."

Xiao Xun'er smiled softly: "So that's how it is. Qinglin will have to do more next time."

……

As a few people were chatting animatedly, there was suddenly a crisp and rapid knock on the door outside the courtyard.

Everyone was attracted by the knock on the door and stopped talking. Xiao Ling immediately released a trace of soul perception to investigate, and in an instant he knew clearly that the visitor was a student from the inner courtyard of Canaan College.

Although Xiao Ling felt a little curious, he did not stop his hands. He just waved his hand casually and the tightly closed door slowly opened.

The student hurried in with a respectful look on his face. He bowed deeply to Xiao Ling and said in a slightly nervous but still respectful voice, "Elder Xiao Ling, I'm sorry for disturbing you."

Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked calmly, "What's going on?"

The student did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly replied respectfully: "Elder, Great Elder Su Qian asked me to tell you that if you are free now, please go to the office. The Great Elder wants to discuss something with you."

Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, and had an idea in his mind: "I guess the elders have already prepared the herbs, and want me to help refine the pills. This is good, I can practice refining medicine and make some contributions to the academy. In this way, maybe when I want to devour the Fallen Heart Flame, Elder Su Qian will not stop me too much."

Chapter 146 Meeting Han Yue Alone

Xiao Ling nodded slightly to the student: "Okay, go and do your own thing. I will go find the elder later."

After hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, the student bowed respectfully and said, "Elder, I will take my leave first." Then he turned around and quickly left Xiao Ling's courtyard.

After the students left, Xiao Ling looked at the women around him and said with a smile: "I have something to deal with in the academy, so I can't stay here with you. You can have a good chat."

Xiao Xun'er blinked and asked with a little curiosity: "Brother Xiao Ling, is there any mission?"

Xiao Ling shook his head slightly: "I don't know the details, I'll know when I get there. But it should be related to alchemy."

Han Yue also nodded gently and said gently: "Well, business is more important, go and get busy."

Qing Lin was a little reluctant, but still said obediently: "Master, please go and come back soon. I will wait for you obediently."

Xiao Ling touched Qinglin's head and said, "Don't worry, Qinglin." Then he looked at the others and said, "Then I'll leave first."

Xiao Ling waved to a few people, then turned around, spread out a pair of fighting wings, drew an arc in the air, and rushed towards the office of Elder Su Qian.

Soon, a quiet attic appeared in front of him. This attic stood in a corner of the academy, surrounded by green trees and lush flowers, as if it was isolated from the noisy other areas of the academy.

The walls of the attic are covered with green vines, adding a touch of simplicity and mystery.

Xiao Ling landed in front of the attic and gently pushed open the slightly old but heavy wooden door.

The door hinges make a creaking sound as they turn, as if telling the story of the years.

Walking into the attic, a faint scent of sandalwood hits your nose. The interior is simple and elegant, with several rows of bookshelves filled with various ancient books and scrolls.

Next to a huge window, there is an antique desk. The sunlight shines through the window onto the desk, illuminating the piles of documents.

At this time, Elder Su Qian was sitting behind the desk, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Xiao Ling stepped forward and said respectfully, "Great Elder, I'm here."

Su Qian raised his head with a smile on his face: "Xiao Ling, come and sit down."

Xiao Ling sat down as he was told and looked at Su Qian. Although he had a rough guess in his heart, he still asked,

"Great Elder, you asked me to come here. Is there something wrong?"

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Su Qian put down the book in his hand and said slowly: "Xiao Ling, the elders of the academy have prepared the medicinal materials needed for the elixir and handed them over to me. If you have time to refine the elixir, you can take these medicinal materials."

Hearing that it was indeed about alchemy, Xiao Ling nodded without hesitation and said, "Great Elder, I am free now. Leave the alchemy to me, don't worry."

Su Qian smiled slightly, handed the ring containing the medicinal herbs to Xiao Ling, and said, "These medicinal herbs are extremely precious and not easy to come by. You must be careful when refining them."

Xiao Ling took the ring and examined it carefully, and found that most of the ingredients inside were the main ingredients for refining Douling Pills and Huangji Pills, and there were also two medicinal materials for refining Pozong Pills.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and responded, "Great Elder, I understand the importance of this and will do my best. However, the number of these pills is not small, so I will need to spend some time to refine them."

Su Qian nodded and said, "Xiao Ling, there is no rush. The key is to ensure the success rate of the pill. There are not many medicinal materials, and some elders have only collected one or two medicinal materials."

"Don't worry, Great Elder. The number of pills can definitely meet the requirements." With a faint smile, Xiao Ling was still very confident in his alchemy skills.

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Su Qian showed a gratified smile on his face, his eyes full of trust and expectation, and he slowly said: "Of course I believe in your alchemy skills. I don't have anything else to keep you here, so go back and prepare well."

Xiao Ling looked respectful, bowed slightly and saluted to Su Qian, "Then Great Elder, Xiao Ling will take his leave."

After saying that, he turned and left the office.

After spreading his fighting spirit wings, Xiao Ling returned to his own courtyard after a while.

As soon as I stepped in, I saw Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian chatting in the courtyard, but there was no sign of Han Yue and Xiao Xun'er.

When the two saw Xiao Ling, they immediately greeted him with joy. Xiao Yixian's lively eyes were full of curiosity, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Ling, is this related to refining medicine?"

Xiao Ling smiled and nodded, and replied: "Yes, that's exactly it."

When Xiao Yixian heard this, a look of joy appeared on her face, "That's great! When you make the elixir, I have to watch from the side."

Xiao Ling smiled gently, without saying anything more, and turned to ask Qing Lin: "Qing Lin, why don't you see Senior Sister Han Yue and Xun Er?"

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Qing Lin answered obediently: "Master, after you went to see Elder Su Qian, Sister Xun'er left not long after, saying that she was going back to her room to practice. Sister Han Yue went to the Supreme Freedom Sect and said that she had some things to deal with."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but recall Han Yue's meaningful look at him. He pondered for a moment and muttered to himself, "It seems that I should meet with Senior Sister in private first."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and said to Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian: "You two should practice well here. I will go to the "Supreme Freedom Sect". After all, it is the force I founded before, so I have to go back and take a look."

After saying that, Xiao Ling spread his fighting spirit wings again and flew towards the direction of the Supreme Freedom Gate.

Soon, Xiao Ling arrived at the door of the Supreme Freedom Gate. He straightened his clothes slightly and walked in.

When the students inside the sect saw Xiao Ling, they all bowed to him.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly to the students who greeted him, and then released a trace of soul perception. In an instant, Han Yue's location appeared clearly in his mind.

Xiao Ling walked steadily and soon arrived at the door of the room where Han Yue was.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, "Senior Han Yue, I'm here."

Hearing Xiao Ling's voice coming from outside the door, Han Yue's face showed a look of joy. She quickly put down the book in her hand, walked to the door and opened it.

Looking at Xiao Ling who appeared outside the door, Han Yue said with a little resentment, "Finally, a busy man like you is here."

Looking at Han Yue's pretty face so close to him, Xiao Ling showed a trace of guilt on his face.

Without waiting for Han Yue to react, Xiao Ling took the soft and boneless hand and walked into the room.

Chapter 147 Coaxing Senior Sister

Xiao Ling took Han Yue into the room, released a layer of soul barrier to block out the outside world, and then carefully closed the door.

Han Yue broke free from Xiao Ling's hand and seemingly casually arranged the slightly messy items on the table, her eyes deliberately and stubbornly avoiding glancing in Xiao Ling's direction.

Xiao Ling slowly approached Han Yue and said softly, "Haha, senior sister, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

There was a barely perceptible hint of guilt in his voice.

Han Yue didn't even raise her head, but responded coldly: "Oh, you still remember to come." There was a hint of imperceptible grievance in that calm voice, as if she had been greatly ignored.

Xiao Ling smiled bitterly helplessly and reached out to grab Han Yue's hand that was as white as mutton-fat jade, but Han Yue quickly dodged like a frightened deer.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Xiao Ling grabbed Han Yue's white, smooth and slender wrist without hesitation.

Although he already knew roughly the reason why Han Yue was in a bad mood, he certainly couldn't show it on the surface.

"Senior sister, please don't be like this." Xiao Ling's tone was full of flattery.

Han Yue pretended not to care and said, "What's wrong with me? I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Han Yue's tone was still as calm as water, without the slightest ripple, but she was not in a hurry to break free from Xiao Ling's strong hand.

When Han Yue's eyes met Xiao Ling's, a subtle emotional fluctuation clearly emerged in the depths of her calm and indifferent eyes.

However, she just glanced at Xiao Ling lightly and turned her eyes to the other side, as if she was deliberately avoiding Xiao Ling's burning gaze.

Seeing Han Yue's expression, Xiao Ling had no idea what was going on.

It's clearly a cute look of being jealous but saying one thing and doing another.

Without much hesitation, Xiao Ling immediately took action. In the current situation, he had to take care of the senior sister's emotions first.

Xiao Ling sighed softly, hugged Han Yue tenderly from behind, and rested his chin gently on her shoulder, the posture seemed very ambiguous.
