Chapter 1922: Chapter 1902:

"Who is it?" Luo Qianqian called out loudly, feeling a bit unnatural.

But there seemed to be no response other than the sound of the wind.

Luo Qianqian looked suspiciously towards the window. Was she really overthinking it? Yet, the moment the window opened, she felt like she was being surveilled...

So even though she felt a bit paranoid, she still chose to speak towards the window.

However, there was no response, and after unleashing her spiritual power, she sensed no abnormalities. She had no choice but to give up, got up, closed the window, and returned to bed. But for some reason, she suddenly couldn’t concentrate on her studies and could only stare absentmindedly at everything, finding herself at a loss...

As Luo Qianqian resumed her cultivation, a shadow outside the window quietly let out a sigh of relief and left the small yard with a few leaps: "Heavens... What have I done? Why could a little kid with such a big difference in realm discover me? Am I really this weak now?!"

Kuang Xiao truly let out a long howl to the sky, feeling frustrated and wronged. He didn’t understand why, why Luo Qianqian could discover him? Even if in the end nothing happened, his position should have been in a visual blind spot, right? But it was still discovered, making him start to doubt his own abilities, which he found hard to accept.

Proud as he was, he had always been the most dazzling presence in the academy, recognized for both his strength and appearance.

But why did he seem to keep getting stimulated?

From the beginning, these two people encountered his suppression but openly expressed dislike.

Later, even with the connection through Ji Lei, they still maintained a distant relationship, not just with one person, but these two people as well. This made him feel even more unbalanced inside.

Yet, he had to admit that the people around these two were also exceptionally outstanding.

Therefore, his pride, in a sense, had no place to be exercised. So, for a moment, he had no idea how to approach these two people.

After all, he had accepted a task, no matter how much he disliked or was uninterested, he still had to engage and get close.

And the more he engaged, the more he discovered, it seemed... truly excellent enough to unconsciously attract people.

Luo Shiliu’s cooking skills were unmatched, even the academy’s dean and vice-dean were full of praise.

Luo Shiqi’s talent, able to easily break through, left people no choice but to care, right? You have to know, for a cultivator, being able to break through easily would surely be the most wonderful thing!

"Sigh..." A faint sigh escaped him, thinking his task was becoming more and more difficult!

Before, he could hide a bit closer, even open a window without any problem, but now...

Entering the small courtyard range might be discovered, the task difficulty was surely too high, wasn’t it?

Thinking this, Kuang Xiao decisively chose to end today’s attempts here.

After he left, a figure also silently emerged from the trees, watching Kuang Xiao’s departing silhouette with disdain.

Was this a warning? Warning him not to be too excessive?

After all... discovering him wasn’t something difficult for Kuang Xiao.

But the other party pretended not to have discovered, instead ’admitting’ to Luo Qianqian’s ’discovery,’ leaving him with no mood to venture into the courtyard anymore, okay? Clearly, it wasn’t him who got discovered, why did he admit, muttering those things earlier, wasn’t this a warning to him?

Luo Qianqian didn’t continue cultivating, instead started waiting for someone to return.

After all, with someone watching the small courtyard, she felt uneasy.

Contrary to expectations, the first to return was He Wenyu, who went to consult some information, which surprised Luo Qianqian a bit. After all, this pile of herbs seemed to require a considerable amount of time to understand the medicinal properties, right?

But He Wenyu had returned, and Mo hadn’t come back yet? This forced her to ponder deeply... Was the auction giving trouble, or was Mo detained by Brother Jiayou?

No matter how she thought, she couldn’t figure it out, making her somewhat absent-minded.

"Mo hasn’t returned yet?" He Wenyu had also made a trip to the Points Exchange Hall to purchase the necessary herbs, but Mo still didn’t seem to be returning, which made her feel uneasy as well.

"Could it be he’s been held by Brother Jiayou until he gets treated?" He Wenyu couldn’t help but ask.

Luo Qianqian looked at He Wenyu quizzically, instinctively feeling it couldn’t be, but given the time, she had indeed thought about it...

"Should we go take a look?" Luo Qianqian asked, pursing her lips.

He Wenyu immediately shook her head: "We were supposed to go ’weed out,’ do you think we could come back so soon?"

"But... huh?" Luo Qianqian hadn’t figured out how to refute when she sensed a familiar presence arriving, and she filled with relief: "Seems there’s no issue? Someone’s returned."

Mo landed in the courtyard, handing a map to Luo Qianqian: "Take a look first, I’ll head to Forget Worries Tea House to solve some issues!" After speaking, he left quickly, leaving no trace.

Luo Qianqian: "???" What was going on? Had he been at the auction the whole time? And what’s this?

But obviously no one could provide her with an explanation...

He Wenyu also came closer, looking at the map with wide eyes: "Uh, this..."

"Looks a bit like a bird, is it the Vermilion Bird?" Luo Qianqian asked, looking at the bird on the map.

"Why not Phoenix? I would really like to see what Feng Xi’s true form looks like." He Wenyu expressed a bit of regret but remained curious: "What is this? A Treasure Map? It can’t be, right?"

There’s no route, clearly not a Treasure Map...

"The small text seems to say this bird species can retail to provide those lacking in abilities a chance to acquire flight ability and comes with a percentage speed increment. In that case, who wouldn’t want it? But who compiled this data? Perhaps it’s a competitor of the bird species, wanting them dead?" Luo Qianqian suddenly blurted out her dissatisfaction.

If it’s humans, what kind of purpose is this? Surely they wouldn’t want to witness the birds being hunted, right?

Even those lacking capacity could capture some themselves, then sell them, which is also a way to make money, isn’t it? So... who on earth did this, prompting them to begin pondering.

"Hmm... I think, Mo must have retrieved it for other reasons; he’s not the type to randomly harm innocents for mere speed." Luo Qianqian said firmly.

Trust, stemming from the heart.
