"Lady Mu, how about you slowly check the items, weāll take our leave first." Liu Xia Long was clearly feeling pressure from interacting with Han Yan and didnāt wait for her to finish checking the list before he hurriedly left with the others.
"Miss, why donāt you just cultivate by yourself? With your talent and these ancient texts, itās the same to cultivate alone." Huayue and the others wanted to laugh but felt embarrassed, and said reassuringly.
"May I ask if this is Senior Sister Han Yan?" At this moment, another young academy disciple approached the courtyard, looking uneasy at the sight of Han Yan.
"I am Han Yan, who are you?" Han Yan asked.
"I am Zhou Yibo, a Direct Disciple of Lord Luo from Sky Gold Hall, sent by my Masterās order to see Senior Sister Han Yan." The young man bowed to Han Yan.
"Ah, Brother Zhou, Iām not sure what Lord Luo wants." Han Yan asked in confusion.
Sky Gold Hall, a branch teaching the Alchemy Technique and under the jurisdiction of Illusion Dragon Branch, but has no intersection with her.
"Itās like this, Master wants me to inform Senior Sister Han Yan that our Sky Gold Hall has been in disrepair for many years, and itās about to undergo a major renovation, hence Senior Sister Han Yan need not come in person..." Zhou Yibo explained.
"Wait wait wait, Brother Zhou, I think I havenāt even been to Sky Gold Hall yet." Han Yan interrupted him.
"Uh... Master said that even if Senior Sister Han Yan hasnāt been there before, eventually she will, so he specially organized some alchemy ancient texts and his and several mentorsā lifelong insights and sent them here." Zhou Yibo waved his hand, and immediately, several disciples carried boxes of ancient books and notes into the courtyard.
"Senior Sister Han Yan, Iāll take my leave. By the way, Master also said that if Senior Sister Han Yan wants to participate in the assessment, just inform him in advance, he will prepare immediately, never wasting a single moment." Zhou Yibo said and then hurriedly left.
Han Yan watched Zhou Yibo and his companionsā hurried fleeing figures, suddenly feeling a bit chaotic.
What does it mean to inform in advance for the assessment? It clearly means Lord Luo doesnāt want to spend even a moment more with her, right?
What kind of people are they? They really treat this Lady Mu like a plague, oh, not a plague but a jinx. Lady Mu felt a wave of depression inside.
"Is this Senior Sister Han Yan?" As Han Yan was feeling depressed, another young disciple with a disturbed mental state walked over.
"Which Hall Masterās disciple are you?" Han Yan asked irritably.
"How did Senior Sister Han Yan know? I am Li Yuanfeng, a Direct Disciple of Master Lin from Sealing Demon Hall, sent by my Masterās order..." Li Yuanfeng looked at Han Yan in surprise and began to explain his purpose. Sealing Demon Hall, the hall teaching Sealing and Breaking Seal Technique.
"Did Master Lin ask you to inform me that Sealing Demon Hall has been in disrepair for many years and is about to undergo a major renovation, so I need not come in person?" Han Yan said almost through gritted teeth.
"Senior Sister Han Yan knows everything!" Li Yuanfeng slapped his forehead, finding Han Yan simply extraordinary.
"Where are the sealed ancient books and lifelong insights that Master Lin specially chose for me? Bring them all in." Han Yan waved her hand powerlessly.
"Okay, okay, Iāll bring them in right away." Li Yuanfeng admired Han Yan profoundly and led several disciples to carry and transport a large pile of ancient books and notes into the courtyard.
"Alright, thank you Brother Li, you guys can head back first. If I intend to participate in the assessment of Sealing Demon Hall, Iāll inform Master Lin in advance, never wasting a single moment." Before Li Yuanfeng could speak, Han Yan proactively said in a sad tone.
"Mm, mm." Li Yuanfeng looked at Han Yan with eyes full of reverence, bowed respectfully, and withdrew.
"My lord, should we help you move them in?" Jiang Yuzhe glanced at the various ancient books in the courtyard, suppressing a burst of laughter, and said to Han Yan.
"Forget it, you guys go about your business, weāll handle it ourselves." Han Yan said.
Only after they had walked far away, disappearing from sight, did Han Yan hear an uncontrollable burst of laughter.
"Hmph, they actually dare to avoid me like avoiding the plague, then Iāll just cultivate by myself to show them." Han Yan had Tan Yu and the others move all the ancient books and notes into Gong Hongruās study, darkly steeling herself inside.
However, upon flipping through those ancient books and notes, Han Yanās mouth curled into a smile, feeling somewhat grateful inside.
Although these Hall Masters were wary of Lady Mu, not wanting to meet her even once more, they absolutely didnāt shirk their duties. The sent copies, although duplicates, were copied without missing a word, and the script neat as if printed, along with their lifelong insights were without reservation, moving from shallow to deep with gems in every word.
Having these ancient texts and insights was actually more efficient than Han Yan wasting time visiting each hall.
For the next few days, Han Yan enclosed herself in the study, earnestly cultivating various strange and mysterious arts. With her comprehension of Star Falling Eight Desolate Sword and the Law Comprehension gained from two Illusion Dragon Hall trials, Han Yanās cultivation of these strange and mysterious arts was like a fish in water, progressing rapidly.
Conversely, while cultivating these strange and mysterious arts, her understanding of Star Falling Eight Desolate Sword deepened further. If she had previously comprehended only about ten percent, after several days of practice, her comprehension had reached a full thirty percent.
At this pace, fully comprehending Star Falling Eight Desolate Sword shouldnāt be too difficult.
While Han Yan was deeply engaged in her cultivation of various strange and mysterious arts, a new rumor spread in Long Yan Academy.
"Have you heard, Han Yan hasnāt gone to Beast Taming Hall for several days, might she have injured Hall Master Dengās Sword Pet, worried about Hall Master Deng troubling her? Turns out Han Yan can be afraid too?" Someone said gleefully.
"Afraid of what? Clearly Hall Master Deng is afraid, I heard early the next morning Hall Master Deng sent his eldest disciple to deliver meticulously sorted Beast Taming ancient books and lifelong insights to her, along with the Trial Token handed to her in advance, obviously too scared to face her." A fellow disciple dismissed it.
"What, he even handed the Trial Token in advance, isnāt Hall Master Deng afraid of breaking protocol?" The former expressed disappointment.
"Breaking protocol? I heard Hall Master Dengās Sword Pet, that Fierce Stone Demon, was subdued by Han Yan thoroughly, now it cries for mercy in its nightmares, if you have this skill, you can break protocol too."
"Uh..." That person imagined the fierce appearance of the Fierce Stone Demon and dared not mention the protocol anymore.
