The Ancient Realm Goddess
After the Battle of II

Han Qiong had already arrived at the courtyard. He looked at his disciple sitting in meditation. His face seemed calm and unperturbed. There was a feeling of guilt surging into his heart.

Maybe he should have considered a lot of things when he wanted to close. Now something bad really happened and Qing Yue'er must have had a lot of trouble. If he were to meet that person named Liu Liu, he would definitely finish his life soon. However, that person had already died at the hands of Qing Yue'er. It was more than enough if the student survived.

Han Qiong went over to Qing Yue'er. He sat face to face with the girl and took his position. Without delaying any further he channeled the spiritual qi of his dantian into Qing Yue'er's body.

Meanwhile what Qing Yue'er felt was something complicated. He felt his dantian being churned by the still very few spiritual qi. He himself had never experienced such a condition. Not knowing if this was a good or bad thing but he was still trying to fulfill his spiritual qi.

He suddenly felt a stream of spiritual qi coming from outside then entering his body with high intensity. He was really surprised. Where does spiritual qi come from? This really should not be wasted.

Finally he took action and absorbed that spiritual qi at a terrifying speed. His dantian had completely dried up and was thirsty for energy. Little by little the spiritual qi he absorbed began to fill his dantian.

Han Qiong's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Originally he only wanted to help restore Qing Yue'er's condition. However, who would have thought it turned out that now even he himself would soon be dried.

How not? The girl was too terrifying when absorbing spiritual qi from her. He sighed. For the time being he let the girl take energy from his dantian. However, after a while he immediately disconnected his connection.

“Girl, I can only help you get here. Don't think about drying my dantian. You're really greedy,” grunts. Then he confirmed the seal that was there before finally stepping away.

Qing Yue'er heard Han Qiong's grunt and could only chuckle inwardly. Actually he was very surprised because the spiritual qi turned out to be from his teacher. That meant that the old man was already out of closure and might as well have experienced a breakthrough.

However, he could not be bothered or cut off his cultivation to welcome his teacher. It will only cause a counterattack for itself. Now he has to refocus for recovery.

Actually, he feels better now. Even he was feeling happy because there was a small vibration like signs of a breakthrough. Will he be able to break through? It seemed a little impossible but he would try it.

Meanwhile, Han Qiong was about to return to look at the condition of the academy when someone suddenly appeared before him. He was amazed when he saw that person. “Shangguan You, why are you here?”

“Why am I here? Stupid, what else am I here for? Lucky your old bone was not destroyed because of the explosion that occurred.” Shangguan You sneered. His face was pouting, not looking happy at all.

Han Qiong snorted. He felt strange with Shangguan You's attitude. Usually the old man would be instantly emotional if he saw it but this time it was a little different. Finally he opened his mouth and said, “How dare you go straight into this place. Whahuh? Want to find trouble with me again, heh?”

Shangguan You paid no heed to Han Qiong's question. He turned his gaze instead and looked at the rubble as well as some of the buildings that were being formed. After a while he nodded his head. “Quite fast too.”

“Shangguan You, what is your intention to come to this place?” ask Han Qiong.

“Teacher wants you to come see him. If it wasn't for that old man do you think I would still want to meet you?” Shangguan You again sneered. “By the way, he also wants to meet your student.”

Han Qiong stroked her chin. Why did his teacher know he had students? He had to remember it, it seemed like he had never told Qing Yue'er anything about his teacher. Maybe he himself has forgotten?

“I'll go alone.”

“You should bring the girl. If not, maybe the teacher won't let you come either.”

“Teacher know about the girl?” Finally Han Qiong asked in surprise. “Usually he does not interfere with my affairs, why is he now so forced to meet with Xinyu? What the hell is going on?”

Shangguan You who heard Han Qiong's question finally became astonished as well. Did the girl never tell about her arrival to the teacher's residence? Didn't the girl say that Han Qiong often told her about Fang's teacher?

“Han Old, don't you know? Your student has met Fang's teacher,” said Shangguan You.

Surely Han Qiong who knew nothing could only be dumbfounded. Is this guy joking? How did the girl get to see her teacher? Even if the girl insisted on meeting her teacher, not necessarily the old man would want to see her. Dan, what now?

“Wait first. I really don't know what you're saying.”

“Hmm.” Shangguan You muttered something inaudible. After a while he finally said, “At that time I wanted to meet you. However, he said you were nowhere to be found. I want to go but your student asked to meet with guru.”

“....”

“Aiya, don't stare like that. I can't possibly refuse a girl like her, right? So I actually drove him.” Shangguan You said timidly. Now he was certain that Han Qiong knew nothing about this matter. And he couldn't possibly hide it either.

“Shangguan You, I have never dealt with your students, why do you have to take care of my students?” Han Qiong asked in an unhappy tone.

“I haven't finished telling you,” said Shangguan You who was only replied with a Han Qiong grunt. Finally he again said, “I think it would be a waste considering that teacher is very difficult to meet. You must think that way too, right?”

Han Qiong raised both of his eyebrows. He became interested in the direction of his conversation. “Then?”

“I thought it would be like that. Would a teacher want to meet a goddamn student like you?” Han Qiong laughed mockingly. It used to be that when the teacher wouldn't meet him, Shangguan You would mock him. Then now he would also mock that person in return.

“....”

Shangguan You's lips twitched. It seemed that even though they did not forge enmity, their relationship would also not be able to become harmonious. Ah, but forget it. Right now he still has to tell me everything.

“Han Old, do you know what happens next?”

“How can I know?! The one who was there was you, not me.”

“Your weird disciple said a few sentences and the teacher instantly let him in!”

Han Qiong's eyes widened. His mouth opened without saying a word. His old face looked very stupid. After a while, he started laughing out loud.

“Ha ha ha, Xinyu is indeed Xinyu! Nothing can match its magic!” Han Qiong cheered happily. He really did not expect it turned out that the girl was already determined to meet with the teacher's grandfather.

It used to be when Qing Yue'er felt interested in Fang's teacher and the stone runes, she thought the girl would not think of a plan to get there. It turned out that Qing Yue'er was indeed eager to meet her teacher grandfather. Even to the point of using Shangguan You to go there.

“Stop laughing! So now everything is clear. Let's go now.”

“Wait first. If the teacher wants to meet with Xinyu then it cannot be now.”

Shangguan You looked at Han Qiong in surprise. “Han Old, what else? You really ... too long-winded!”

“The girl was injured and still does not know when she will wake up,” Han Qiong said slowly.

“Really?” Shangguan You was a little incredulous.

“That's right, but just calm down. I'll come when he recovers. Yeah, yeah, like that. Just tell the teacher I'll see him another day. Don't let him feel anxious. The girl is fine.”

Shangguan You stared in full probing at Han Qiong. However, in the end he only nodded in confidence. After his point was conveyed he rushed to leave. Before that, he took the time to ridicule the academy that had now collapsed.

“Really pity.”

Han Qiong did not say anything. After Shangguan You actually left, he turned his gaze towards the school grounds. “Girl, you really did something behind your own teacher. When you are aware, do not expect to escape punishment,” grunts.

In a distant place, a young man was shouting furiously at his subordinates. Being too angry, his face looked extremely horrible. How could he not be angry, the person he was relying on turned out to be completely useless.

“So that Liu is dead?! Really dead?!”

The subordinate who was asked was instantly trembling in fear. “Young Master Hua, calm your anger. Why don't you go alone instead of asking Liu Teng for help?”

Hua Tian snorted coldly. “Cih, do you think I'm scared? It's bullshit! I just don't want grandfather to know I ran away from the Celestial and instead went to steal someone else's dragon in a lowly place like this.”

The subordinate nodded quickly. “Actually why did Young Master want that dragon?”

“Stupid, after all I want to have more spirit beasts. Dam it you think who doesn't want a dragon?” Hua Tian sneered. Even if it was Celestial, a dragon still remained extremely precious. When knowing the appearance of the dragon, how could he not be interested?

“Does Young Master be able to confirm if the contract between a dragon and a human is not a life-and-death contract? What if this is just a waste?”

Hua Tian stared into the distance. “You think a dragon wants to contract with a lowly human? Keep fantasizing. I can't believe the dragon wants to do a life-and-death contract with that human.”

The subordinates could only bow and fall silent. They had already gotten used to Hua Tian's stern demeanor and this was still nothing to them.
