I was brought back while I was unconscious.
They probably worried that I would be unable to bear the truth of being abandoned by An Yeh, so when I broke down and shouted in despair, Lan Wangji immediately pressed on my acupoint, allowing Wen Ning to carry me back to the Detached Courtyard.
It wasn’t until I regained consciousness and calmly reassured them, who looked worried, that I was truly fine, that they finally left with some relief.
Sigh, it’s so sad that I can’t even vent my frustration!
What’s even sadder is that I have no memory or sensation of being held by Wen Ning at all. It’s truly unfortunate!
Well, I shouldn’t have caused such a commotion on someone else's territory; that is indeed my fault.
In any case, let me sort out the situation again.
First of all, the biggest problem I’m facing right now is that the status interface has been forcibly retracted.
As for the purpose of the interface… I mainly used it to check my spiritual power consumption and to modify my identity settings. I didn’t really pay attention to other items.
Regarding spiritual power, I can now only rely on feelings of hunger to gauge consumption. As for the total amount, it should normally increase based on experience gained from cultivation; at most, it wouldn’t increase but wouldn’t decrease either. So I’ll just let it be.
Next is the identity settings. I still have a rough impression of them. As long as I don’t carelessly make up stories that could cause overwriting, it should be fine… probably… But now that there’s no interface, will there still be overwriting? There’s no way to verify that…
So even though I’ve lost the status interface, it shouldn’t make much difference for me. As long as I’m cautious in all aspects, it should be okay.
That said, without the interface, is there really no issue with the connection to An Yeh? The lack of tangible evidence still makes me feel uneasy…
…This really shouldn’t be an unexpected situation caused by the system leading to disconnection, right?
Forget it; there’s no point in dwelling on it! Thinking further will only increase my anxiety.
In short, the only thing I can be certain of right now is that my ultimate mission objective is simply to "survive."
Given that, I suppose I could just go back to Wailing Hill and waste my life away, right? After all, the main task of helping Wen Ning establish his contract has already been completed, so the rest should be inconsequential, shouldn't it?
Although I have a feeling this decision will earn me a long lecture from Song Lan...
Well, since I've already agreed to stay in the depths of Yun Shen for a year, I might as well just get through this year!
As for what comes next, I'll deal with that later!

Ding—
The deep sound of a bell echoed from afar, resonating through the tranquil mountains and forests.
As my awareness gradually sharpened with the tolling of the bell, I slowly opened my eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling above—
Well, still nothing.
I thought that if I just went back to sleep and woke up again, it would be like rebooting a system. It seems I was too naive.
...Is this what they call withdrawal symptoms from interface dependency?
With a sigh of resignation, I covered my face in despair. It looks like I really have to accept reality.
With little energy, I got up and walked over to the basin to splash some water on my face to wake myself up, then took some time to tidy myself up.
After hesitating for a moment, I ultimately decided to change back into the system's novice outfit that I was accustomed to wearing. I cleaned and purified the borrowed guest clothing before neatly folding it and placing it aside.
Well, there’s nothing wrong with my appearance, but my feelings of world-weariness are simply unchangeable.
According to that nonsensical assessment result, my status has now been elevated to a guest elder of the Gusu Lan, the lowest rank, with treatment similar to that of a Disciple—commonly referred to as a freeloader.
It is said that the Gusu Lan has never accepted such a shameless guest elder; I am the first.
“Why? Is this really necessary?” I looked at Lan Wangji, who had come to inform me and explain the precautions, feeling utterly confused.
I came here to learn, not to seek refuge. I truly don’t understand why these arrangements are necessary. Is there some mistake?
“Don’t mind it; it’s just a formality,” Wei Wuxian said with a smile, waving his hand. “After all, your identity is rather ambiguous; you need a title for others to recognize you.”
I just want to keep a low profile and don’t want or need to meet anyone… Whatever, it doesn’t matter; I’m only staying for a year, and what happens afterward is none of my concern.
“And you’ll receive a monthly stipend!” Wei Wuxian said mischievously in a lowered voice. “If you’re assigned any tasks, there will be additional rewards!”
…So that means the expenses I was promised for living in Yunshen Wuzhichu would come from this, right? I still have to earn my own spending money in the end?
Got it! Understood!
And today marks my first official day participating in classes.
Setting aside all the annoying trivial matters for now, all I want is to curl up in bed and pretend to be dead.
I hate school…
Due to my social anxiety, I’ve always had a strong aversion to school even in my past life. Even at this age, it hasn’t changed. One-on-one tutoring with Song Lan was one thing, but now I really have to be in the same space as a group of people studying together…
Just imagining it gives me so much pressure!
At that moment, a knock sounded from outside the door.
"Ms. Wei, are you awake?"
Qi Wei pushed the door open and saw me pacing back and forth, looking distressed.
"Ah, Miss Qi, good morning," I replied, coming back to my senses.
Seeing this, she was silent for a moment before breaking into a smile.
"Just call me Xiao Chun. Um... Ms. Wei, can I call you Mian Fei?"
I paused slightly, then smiled back warmly. "Sure, Xiao Chun."
"Mian Fei, have you had breakfast? Let's go to the Dining Hall together!"
At her words, I couldn't help but twitch my lips.
"Uh... is it possible to skip it?"
After being unceremoniously taken to the Dining Hall for breakfast, Qi Wei then led me to the classroom.
After winding through numerous turns, I found myself quite lost… By the way, is it normal to get lost in such a deep and mysterious place? It should be normal, right? Getting lost in such a large area must be completely normal!
Due to the separation of genders, the boys studied in the Orchid Chamber while the girls studied in the Plum Blossom Chamber.
Unlike the mischievous boys, daughters from respectable families generally stayed at home for their education and were not often sent here to study. Therefore, among the Female Cultivators attending classes, aside from the Disciples, most were relatives of the Gusu Lan clan.
So my existence is truly an exception.
I don't know if it's because I'm a new face, but wherever I go, I always attract strange glances and whispers...
It really makes me want to turn around and leave immediately!
"Xiao Chun, um, Ms. Wei." A few disciples familiar with Qi Wei approached her, but upon seeing me standing nearby, they froze for a moment. Their previously warm tone suddenly turned noticeably distant.
I nodded to them in greeting, remaining silent. After all, I didn't know anyone here and had no idea what to say.
After greeting them, Qi Wei enthusiastically introduced me, "Mian Fei, this is Ning Feiwan, and this is Yan Yuyan. They are fellow disciples who joined at the same time as I did."
"Lady Ning, Miss Yan," I greeted them in turn.
The two of them responded with slightly awkward nods.
"Ah, birds of a feather flock together..." Suddenly, a cold voice drifted over from the side.
I couldn't help but glance toward the source of the voice—there stood a girl with striking features and an aloof demeanor, adorned with a cloud-patterned headpiece, casting a sidelong glance in our direction.
To be honest, seeing her attempt to emulate Hanguang Jun's coolness while clearly unable to hide her own arrogance was quite disheartening. If you can't pull it off, please don't try; it's just too much of a failure!
