Seeing Guan Yue run into Yin Jingjing's room, Ouyang Shaohua felt a pang of heartache. She pulled Naijia hard and walked outside. However, Naijia kept complaining, "You should ask what Guan Yue was doing in Yin Jingjing's room. Maybe we could help."
"Who cares? Let him deal with it himself," Ouyang Shaohua replied, feeling wronged and lacking enthusiasm in her voice.
"Hey, I feel like something's off with you. Did you have a fight with Guan Yue? Why aren't you concerned about him?" Naijia finally caught on.
"He doesn't care about me, so why should I care about him?" Ouyang Shaohua pouted angrily.
Naijia realized that Ouyang Shaohua was upset with Guan Yue, so she dropped the subject. The two girls quickly changed the topic and headed towards their usual training area.
Guan Yue walked into Yin Jingjing's room, where the three girls immediately glared at him with wide eyes, full of suspicion: What does this little brat want in our room?
Guan Yue directly asked, "Who is Yin Jingjing? Is she here?"
Yin Jingjing, sitting on the bed and feeling extremely frustrated, replied without looking up, "I don't know you. Please leave."
Guan Yue glanced coldly and confirmed that the beautiful Yin Jingjing was indeed before him. He then said, "Today I went to take the Illusory Array trial and found your girl inside. I heard your family is urgently looking for you to come back because of some urgent matter. Is that right?"
"You! You took the Illusory Array trial?" The other two girls looked at Guan Yue in astonishment. He was small in stature, appearing around ten years old. He must be the one who broke through One Hundred Times Gravity—Guan Yue! Did he really go to take the Illusory Array trial again? The girls' eyes lit up; this amazing boy had actually come to their room?!
Yin Jingjing was even more puzzled. How did he find her family's girl in the Illusory Array? She raised her head to look at the small boy before her and quickly determined that he was indeed the famous Guan Yue among the new students. She then asked curiously, "You found my family's girl in the Illusory Array?"
Guan Yue recounted his experience in the Illusory Array to Yin Jingjing in detail. She quickly confirmed it was true because that girl was her childhood companion named Chunhong. She was quite reckless and rarely listened to anyone. If it weren't for the lack of accommodation at the academy, Yin Jingjing would have wanted to bring her along because Chunhong had an extraordinary talent for learning.
When Guan Yue mentioned that she had dismantled the Illusory Array, the three girls were shocked. How could she have dismantled the academy's formation without being expelled?
Guan Yue nodded and said, "That management teacher won't allow me to participate in the Illusory Array trials anymore. She insists that I must restore the Mysterious Array I dismantled. So I came to talk to you about this matter, and I really need your help."
Yin Jingjing looked frustrated. "You can't help with my family matters, so why should I help you?"
Yin Jingjing's distress was evident on her face, and seeing the beautiful Yin Jingjing looking so troubled pained Guan Yue. She then said, "How about I help you solve your problem first, and then you help me restore the formation?"
"Alright," Yin Jingjing replied cheerfully at once, but then she thought again and felt disheartened. "But you can't really help much because this matter is too significant."
Guan Yue straightened her small frame and boldly said, "Just tell me what it is. If I can't help you, then I won't ask for your assistance."
So the girls in Yin Jingjing's room hurriedly explained her family's situation to Guan Yue, as if they had discussed it countless times before.
It turned out that the Yin Family was a prominent family in the capital, ranking as the fifth most distinguished clan in Nanyang City of the Southern Source Empire. Yin Jingjing was the second young lady of the Yin Family. The second young master of the Wanqi Family, the second largest noble family in Nanyang City, had taken a liking to Yin Jingjing's talents and believed she was a remarkable person with both beauty and intelligence. He wanted to force her into marriage before she became famous. Moreover, Yin Jingjing's father's seventeenth concubine was from the Wanqi Family, and considering that a royal consort had emerged from there who was currently favored by the emperor, the pressure was immense.
Under such multiple pressures, Yin Jingjing's father had no choice but to agree to betroth her to the young master of the Wanqi Family. However, this young master was known for his lecherous ways and had caused many young girls to lose their virtue under his charm; his reputation was notorious. Therefore, Yin Jingjing firmly refused to comply. Now she was struggling with this issue.
Upon hearing the whole story, Guan Yue chuckled lightly and said, "Such a trivial matter doesn't require excessive worry. With my clever plan, it can surely be resolved. But first, I need Sister Yin Jingjing to agree to three things before I can solve this problem."
"Do you really have a way?" Hope filled Yin Jingjing's long phoenix eyes, and her naturally alluring smile was quite captivating. Despite her young age, there was a hint of charm about her that stirred something in Guan Yue.
"Of course! It's not a big deal," Guan Yue replied casually. This made Yin Jingjing believe her somewhat: "What are your conditions? Just tell me."
Guan Yue extended her finger and seriously counted off: "First, you must agree that if I help you solve your problem, you will also help me with mine. Second, in the future, you will assist me with another issue—though I haven't thought of what that is yet; it will be related to Context cultivation. Thirdly, after I solve your problem, you cannot sell me out because I don't want Wanqi Family holding a grudge against me. The third condition requires all three of you to agree."
Yin Jingjing thought about it and realized there was nothing unreasonable in the request, so she nodded in agreement. Another girl in the same room asked curiously, "Guan Yue, are you also practicing Context?"
"I know a little. For example, about refining tools and concocting medicines. But I'm not very skilled yet, so I need Yin Jingjing to owe me a favor. When I encounter any questions I don't understand, I can ask her; she's a genius after all." If Ouyang Shaohua were here, he would definitely say that Guan Yue knows how to flatter others while expressing his intentions and praising Yin Jingjing, making it hard for her to refuse.
"Now I'll tell you how to avoid this marriage proposal," Guan Yue began to tease Yin Jingjing. He delayed his explanation while repeatedly stroking his chin. The three girls opened their mouths wide, anxiously waiting for him to continue, only for Yin Jingjing to later realize he was just thirsty. After pouring some tea, Guan Yue slowly took a couple of sips before dramatically presenting his suggestions like a little adult:
"There are three methods; you can choose whichever suits you best. The first suggestion is for me to apply Acupoint pressure on you, which will make your limbs weak immediately. You can then return home and say you're seriously ill and urgently need to seek treatment elsewhere from famous doctors in hopes of survival. The second suggestion is to give you a potion that will turn your body green; when you return home, the Wanqi Family will surely despise you. The third suggestion is for you to find a senior brother at the academy and claim that you've already made a lifelong commitment and have been living as a couple; this should allow you to reject the marriage proposal from the Wanqi family."
One roommate immediately giggled and suggested, "The third method sounds reliable; Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian would be a good choice. Just say you've already been living as a couple with him."
Yin Jingjing shot her roommate a fierce glare and then asked Guan Yue, "Junior Brother, can you really apply Acupoint pressure? That's part of Context studies."
Guan Yue replied proudly, "The technique of applying Acupoint pressure is only harmful to others and offers no benefit to oneself; it's merely a trivial skill. Fortunately, I know a bit about it. Moreover, the Acupoints I apply can only be resolved by my master; no one else in the world can undo them. Sister Yin can rest assured."
"Does that kind of potion have side effects?" It seemed that Yin Jingjing was leaning towards using the second method since she was also a Literary Context Practitioner and an Attainment Disciple, believing more in the efficacy of medicines.
Guan Yue boasted, "My potions have all undergone real trials and have been repeatedly used on humans. If Sister Yin is worried, I can demonstrate it on myself first."
Yin Jingjing was thoroughly convinced: "Alright then, but you don't have any tools, do you? I have a refining furnace; you can concoct the medicine right here, and we'll try it immediately."
Guan Yue named the required ingredients, and Yin Jingjing sent her roommate to fetch them from the academy's pharmacy. Then she invited Guan Yue to start concocting the medicine. The three girls watched Guan Yue with great curiosity; they all wanted to see if this little guy could actually refine medicine.
As Guan Yue prepared, he summoned Gao Yuxin, who was currently stirring within Guan Yue's body. Upon hearing her name called, she quickly asked, "Brother Guan, is there something urgent?"
Guan Yue replied, "I need to concoct a potion but lack a heat source, so I'd like to ask you to emit a three megahertz frequency to find resonance and help me cook the potion."
"No problem."
With that, Guan Yue began to demonstrate, feeling a great sense of satisfaction as he showcased his alchemy skills in front of the Literary Context Practitioner. The three girls were excellent spectators.
Guan Yue raised several herbs in his hands, skillfully wielding a small knife to chop them into one-centimeter pieces, then placing them all into the furnace. He did not seem to do anything else; Guan Yue simply watched the furnace quietly. There was no spark or flame, yet strangely, the furnace began to heat up gradually. The girls could feel the rising temperature.
The three girls had their mouths agape, large enough to fit an egg inside. Their faces were filled with astonishment. They were completely baffled by Guan Yue; how could he refine medicine without flames? They were filled with confusion, as they had always used fire for alchemy, and could not fathom what else could possibly refine medicine out of thin air!
It was truly magical!
After a short while, Guan Yue casually took out two crystal-clear green pills from the furnace, leaving the three girls in awe, almost unable to believe their eyes! For a moment, Guan Yue appeared somewhat mysterious in the eyes of the three girls.
Looking at the pills, there was no leakage of medicinal power, no signs of burning or insufficient heat, and the efficacy was perfectly preserved—these were almost legendary medicines! A hundred percent good medicine!
Yin Jingjing's heart began to race; even their mentor could not produce such crystal-clear pills with perfect appearances!
"Do you have Antidote?" Although she was shocked by Guan Yue, the attentive Yin Jingjing still asked. She did not want to experiment on Guan Yue's body; she fully believed in the authenticity of this medicine.
Guan Yue nodded and said mysteriously, "I definitely have Antidote. What I want to tell you is that you must not share the alchemy method I demonstrated today. This is an ancient secret technique; even if others know it, they won't be able to master it. If others find out, it will only bring trouble. So absolutely do not let outsiders know."
The three girls were stunned by Guan Yue's words and completely believed his claims. They nodded seriously in agreement; in their innocent hearts, they felt that Guan Yue was profound and unfathomable. Even Yin Jingjing developed a great fondness for Guan Yue.
