Shui Yining was tightly embracing Jiu'er to keep warm. Suddenly, she heard Guan Yue's voice and froze.
Jiu'er, upon hearing the call, immediately said to Shui Yining, "Sister Shui, they're calling for you. Someone is calling you." Jiu'er then poked her little head out, looking around for the source of the voice.
Shui Yining looked around in confusion; she hadn't clearly heard what was said earlier.
After a moment, Guan Yue called out again, "Shui Yining, it's me, Guan Yue! I'm your classmate from Qilin Academy."
This time, all the sisters heard it clearly. Shui Yining heard it too.
It was Guan Yue; it was really Guan Yue! He had come to rescue her; he had finally arrived.
Tears welled up in Shui Yining's eyes. She knew it was Guan Yue who had saved them. Now they didn't have to compete or face death anymore.
Had Guan Yue become this strong? Could he really rescue her from the Ancient Tomb Sect? She didn't know about Guan Yue's battle with Old Eight; otherwise, she would feel even more despondent.
Yet even so, she felt embarrassed to step out and face Guan Yue because she was nearly naked!
So she shouted, "Guan Yue, just go away! I can't see you."
Guan Yue became anxious and raised his voice as he approached, "Shui Yining, it was my actions that affected you in the past. Now that I have the ability, I want to protect you for life. Please believe me."
Shui Yining had never blamed Guan Yue; her struggle against Teacher He was her own decision. As for her experiences after leaving Qilin Academy, she considered them her fate. So when she heard Guan Yue's words now, her fragile heart melted instantly.
She began to sob softly. However, she still couldn't bring herself to step out and show her face.
Listening to the conversation between Guan Yue and Shui Yining, the girls realized that it was because of Shui Yining that Guan Yue had saved them all. They immediately looked at Shui Yining with envy and secretly glanced at the handsome White-Clad Youth, Guan Yue.
It seemed that there must be a story between the two of them. The women's natural curiosity was instantly piqued. Although they had just escaped from danger, once they realized they were no longer in peril, their spirits lifted, and their true nature emerged.
Jiu'er was the first to ask, "Sister Shui, he is quite a handsome guy. Why don't you go meet him? It looks like he really likes you."
Shui Yining could only reply to Guan Yue in a high-pitched voice, "Guan Yue, I... I can't meet you right now. Please give me a little dignity."
Upon hearing Shui Yining's gentle words, tears welled up in Guan Yue's eyes. This strong-willed girl still held onto her self-respect; she had not changed.
Perhaps it was because her clothes were disheveled that she didn't want him to see her in such a sorry state.
Guan Yue felt even more respect for Shui Yining. This was genuine admiration.
Guan Yue quickly notified Lan Xuelei to bring her a set of clothes.
Soon, Lan Xuelei arrived. When she saw the group of Sisters, she immediately asked Guan Yue who they were. Guan Yue briefly explained how they were saved because of Shui Yining and requested her to help Shui Yining get dressed.
Lan Xuelei promptly approached Shui Yining and offered her some clothes from her ring.
Shui Yining did not refuse and allowed her to help her dress.
These women were all Disciples and could certainly sense the natural pressure emanating from Lan Xuelei's body. The powerful aura of Origin Energy left them secretly astonished.
She was definitely a Disciple above the Eternal Realm, and yet she was only in her teens, with a youthful face full of charming smiles. Such a young girl with Great Power made the Sisters feel somewhat inferior.
However, Shui Yining did not think about any of this; she was lost in her own feelings and was very grateful for Guan Yue's actions. Once she was dressed, she immediately took Jiu'er by the hand and walked out from the crowd.
Guan Yue saw her, Shui Yining, the girl she had always felt guilty towards. Today, she finally met her.
She noticed that Shui Yining's thin face still bore a resemblance to her younger self, with a hint of the charm and temperament from years ago. However, Shui Yining had matured significantly, and her features now reflected a touch of cynicism and a bit of desolation.
When Shui Yining saw Guan Yue, she was extremely excited. Guan Yue had once been her idol during her youth. Countless nights, she fantasized about Guan Yue. Whenever Guan Yue visited their dormitory, she would quietly watch from the side, admiring Guan Yue's youthful and heroic face, wishing to engrave Guan Yue's image in her heart.
In this life, she never wanted to part ways.
So when Teacher He forced them to never speak to Guan Yue, she felt an intense anger inside and left the academy in a fit of rage.
For Guan Yue, she had never regretted it.
But when she saw Guan Yue's handsome figure appear before her, she finally couldn't hold back her tears. She didn't know why she was crying at that moment, but the tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Guan Yue quickly walked over, supporting Shui Yining, and gently said, "Don't be sad; everything is in the past. That Teacher He who expelled you has already been dealt with by me. Now Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, and the others are all together, waiting to meet you."
Hearing about Huangfu Jiayin, Shui Yining became emotional and immediately asked, "Are they all here?"
Guan Yue could only respond honestly, "I only know about the Huangfu Sisters. I haven't been able to contact the others from your dormitory yet."
Shui Yining nodded and said, "As long as they are here, we will find the others."
Guan Yue then told Shui Yining: "You should ask the others here if anyone wants to leave. We can provide gold for those who wish to depart freely. For those who want to stay, we will make arrangements immediately."
Jiu'er happily ran off to inform everyone, allowing them to choose freely. As a result, more than half of them chose to leave since they had family or boyfriends at home; only eight girls decided to stay.
Guan Yue gave each departing girl two hundred taels of gold so they could live safely and well. The girls expressed their gratitude and surprise as they bid farewell.
Then Guan Yue unifiedly sent them to the edge of a city, watching as they scattered away.
After that, Guan Yue brought the ten girls to the palace of the Sky-Sealing Tower.
When Shui Yining and the others saw the palace, they felt nervous; this was the residence of that noble.
When Guan Yue introduced Shui Yining and the others to Guan Songtao, Shui Yining realized that this was actually her father's palace.
Guan Yue had Lan Xuelei arrange accommodations for Shui Yining and the others, and then asked Zhang Yi and Zhang Min to find some fabric to make clothes for the ten girls.
The girls laughed and joked together, all getting involved in various tasks, gradually breaking the awkward atmosphere. Guan Songtao also gave each girl five hundred taels of gold, telling them to buy some things when they reached the next city.
Once Shui Yining was settled, Guan Yue could finally focus on his own matters.
He had now basically gathered all the Children of Heaven and Earth and discovered the synthesis method for the Mother of Heaven and Earth from Wu Hong's belt. The only one left was the last Child of Heaven and Earth: Wood Child, which belonged to Prince Jiang Gong.
Guan Yue now needed to seriously consider how to obtain this Child of Heaven and Earth.
It would be best to ask Carefree Traveler, as he was more familiar with royal affairs.
It had been a long time since he last saw him, nor had he seen Northern Champion. They must be quite pleased with themselves now? However, it would indeed be quite difficult for Jiang Ming to seize the position of Crown Prince. What clever plan could Carefree Traveler have come up with?
At this moment, in the Southern Source Empire's palace, they were welcoming the envoy from Vast Empire: Carols.
After a grand welcome ceremony was completed, the Southern Source Empire Emperor accompanied Carols into the reception hall.
Once both parties were seated as host and guest, Carols personally handed over a letter from the Emperor of the Myriad Realms to the Southern Source Empire Emperor.
Emperor Jiang Bilong of the Southern Source Empire carefully examined the letter sent by a special envoy from the Vast Empire. The letter primarily discussed significant trade matters and various transactions between the two nations. However, it concluded with a mention that in six months, Wuma Xiangzuo would come to the Southern Source Empire to marry Miss He Bi, with the ceremony set to take place at Qilin Academy.
After reading the letter, Jiang Bilong couldn't help but smile wryly: it seemed that Miss He Bi was indeed quite charming. Wuma Xiangzuo was determined to have her, and his own crown prince harbored desires for her as well. Moreover, Miss He Bi had already reached an agreement with his son regarding their marriage.
Thus, Jiang Bilong smiled slightly at Carols and said, "I have read Your Majesty's letter. There are no objections to the other matters. However, regarding this last point about Miss He Bi, it turns out she is already betrothed to my son, so this matter is difficult to agree to."
Carols exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn't this matter already agreed upon by Your Majesty? We merely set a date and informed you. Furthermore, our empire has publicly announced the prince's marriage and has already sent the betrothal gifts to Qilin Academy. Therefore, we have completed all necessary procedures; surely Your Majesty will not go back on your word?"
"I truly did not know that the crown prince had privately arranged a betrothal," Jiang Bilong replied with a bitter smile.
"Your Majesty of the Southern Source Empire, since you were unaware, how can the supposed betrothal of the crown prince be considered valid? Moreover, a ruler must keep their word; what is spoken must be acted upon. This is a significant matter between our two nations; even if it were a mistake, it must be strictly enforced," Carols stated firmly. Before leaving, Wuma Xiangwei had specifically sought him out to ensure that Emperor Jiang Bilong would not change his mind, so discussions had already taken place with Carols regarding this matter.
After hearing Wuma Xiangwei's account of the situation, Carols had assured him: "This matter rests entirely on my shoulders."
Thus, although Carols faced Jiang Bilong with utmost respect, his words were unwavering and strategic.
Seeing Carols arguing with reason, Jiang Bilong felt anger rising within him: "Are you suggesting that I issue another imperial decree to annul the engagement between Miss He Bi and your Prince Wuma Xiangzuo?"
Carols sensed that Jiang Bilong was genuinely considering not honoring the previous agreement and felt a surge of anger himself. The Vast Empire had never been deceived by a mere Southern Source Empire; such an incident would never occur under his watch.
