The Ancient Realm Goddess
Arriving at the Heavenly Academy
“Yue’er, are you sure you will go to the Heavenly Academy yourself?” Zu Tiankong asked as Qing Yue’er was preparing to travel. He wanted to accompany the girl. After all, the situation in Tongxuan Continent was chaotic and dangerous.
Qing Yue’er's strength was probably already stronger. Even stronger than him. But he still worries about her. Being able to ensure his safety in person would be better than just praying for him from afar.
“Teacher Zu is right. Let him drive you there,” Bai Su said seriously. The demons in East Tongxuan had already been destroyed. However, what about the Central Plains? They still don't know the situation.
Qing Yue’er smiled at those who cared so much about her. “Don't worry, Dad. Master Zu still had to guard Xinfeng Academy. I'll be fine.”
Those who heard that could only sigh. No one forced anymore. After all, they already knew how Qing Yue’er's character was. The girl's decision will not be easily swayed.
After which, Qing Yue’er bid farewell to everyone. He could not stay or relax because there were still many things waiting for him. So, he immediately left Linxiang Kingdom and moved towards the Central Plains.
This time he would not travel humbly. Not by horse riding, let alone by foot. His figure turned into a light that glided swiftly in the sky. The one who saw it would only think it was a shooting star during the day.
Along the way, Qing Yue’er watched over the East Tongxuan region and the Central Plains intently. There was nothing important he found. In the daytime today there was no sign of the existence of demons.
He reached the top of the Celestial Academy in just a short time. However, he did not directly descend, but rather observed the huge building with a complicated feeling. In the past there was a lot going on there. Including how he accidentally destroyed and collapsed the building after fighting against Liu Teng.
Now, the Heavenly Academy is already completely normal. The new building is becoming more modern and elegant. The students seemed busy wandering around with their activities.
Qing Yue’er will not enter through the gate. It would be too attention-stealing. It was better for him to go straight to the person he wanted to meet.
His figure again turned into light which then pierced through the academy's protective formation. A short while later, he had already appeared in front of the courtyard of the residence which was quite desolate and secluded. There was a herb garden beside the residence.
A faint smile appeared on his lips. “Han Qiong's residence hasn't changed much,” muttered as he observed the house. He stepped closer to the entrance and knocked on it several times.
“Who wants to bother me?! I told you I was busy!” The angry voice of the old man sounded from within.
Qing Yue’er raised one corner of her eyebrow. It was Han Qiong's voice. However, the old man sounded annoyed and did not want to be disturbed. What was he doing inside so he didn't want to see any guests?
He chuckled, then asked, “Teacher, are you sure you don't want to see me?”
Han Qiong who was currently busy churning out her quality suddenly gasped. “That voice …. Do you feel familiar?” he asked the teenage boy who was helping him make potions.
“Indeed a little familiar,” Xiao Mo said as he frowned. He suddenly looked at Han Qiong, and the old man also looked at him.
“That's my favorite student!” exclaimed Han Qiong while glaring. He immediately handed his potion stirring stick to Xiao Mo. “Continue your work!”
The figure of the old man then slid into the entrance in just a blink of an eye. He immediately opened the wooden door and saw a very beautiful young woman. His heart was beating rapidly. “Xinyu! Heaven, is this real?”
Qing Yue’er smiled then nodded. “Teacher, it's me.”
He was about to bow respectfully, but Han Qiong immediately stopped his actions. “No need to do that. No need,” said the old man while patting his shoulder.
“Enter. We better talk inside.”
Han Qiong led Qing Yue’er in. He was immediately met with a teenage boy who was stirring potions in a large cauldron. In that instant, he immediately smiled broadly. “Xiao Mo, you're not a kid anymore huh?”
Xiao Mo was slightly surprised, then scratched his nape in embarrassment. During his stay with Han Qiong, he did not interact much with women. So, she felt a little awkward when faced with a woman as beautiful as Qing Yue’er.
“Kakak Xinyu, you're back,” he said.
Qing Yue’er chuckled at the call. Xiao Mo had never called him brother. But now he does. That sounds fun in the ears.
“What are you guys doing?” He peeked at that big cauldron. There was a black potion bubbling up. The smell is disgusting.
“I'm making potions to fight rampant demons. Their existence is becoming increasingly uncontrollable,” Han Qiong said in seriousness. “If not immediately stopped, this continent will really be chaotic.”
“This is already chaotic,” said Qing Yue’er. Had they known what the real situation was, they might not have been able to sleep anymore. This matter not only existed in the Tongxuan continent, but in the Heavenly Court it was also chaotic.
“This morning Qi Rong wants to see me. Maybe he came to tell you about your return. Too bad I am still busy with these herbs,” Han Qiong said with some regret.
“It's nothing.”
Han Qiong let out a long sigh. He looked at the student elaborately. “Is the problem really serious? You even left Celestial.”
Qing Yue’er hesitated for a moment. Would it be okay if he told her what really happened? He was only worried that the man would not be able to calm down.
“Xinyu, does this concern people in the upper realms?” Han Qiong asked again. Several times he had gotten visions from Xiao Mo. The child can sometimes glare very well.
“Teacher, this is indeed not a simple matter. This problem involves people in the upper realms. You will not be able to solve the problem of these demons if no one from the upper realms helps,” Qing Yue’er said seriously.
“But don't worry. I will definitely help as much as I can,” he continued with a smile.
Han Qiong did not know what to say. His heart and mind became confused. Since this involves people in the upper realms, then this must be really serious.
“What should we do?” He looked at the student elaborately. A few moments later he fell down.
“Xinyu, please give us a hint,” the request humbly. He did not know how high the power level of Qing Yue’er was. However, he was certain that it was already not something he could accomplish.
Qing Yue’er smiled gently. “Teacher, don't beg like that. Is the head of the academy here? I need to discuss with him.”
“He is here. I can take you to see him,” said the old man.
“Thank you.”
