After Qi Youyou finished her alchemy class and returned to the bamboo forest, she realized that Yan Yue wasn't back yet.
Yan Yue's class was in the morning, while hers was in the afternoon. Logically speaking, she should be back by now.
But thinking that Yan Yue might be busy with something, she didn't think too much about it.
But the next day, she still didn't see Yan Yue. Qi Youyou panicked and barged into Yan Yue's room. She realized that Yan Yue's demon beast wasn't there either. Could it be that Yan Gege wasn't staying here anymore?
No, that couldn't be.
Qi Youyou went down the mountain and asked around. She found out that Yan Yue had angered the teacher and was punished to run around the Wind Creek Mountains.
Yan Yue was awesome for angering the teacher on the first day. Yi Suixian was also awesome for punishing his disciple on the first day.
In short, Yan Yue and Yi Suixian became famous in just a few days.
This time, it was completely different from Yan Yue's level seven demonic beast throwing people around. This time, the rumor was so big that even the people of the Center Sect knew about it.
Everyone was speechless at such a 'willful' teacher and such an 'obedient' disciple. Ever since that day, Yi Suixian felt as if he was sitting on needles, because everyone looked at him as if he was a bully.
Yan Yue didn't know any of this because she was still running with all her might.
Qi Youyou saw an opportunity when no one was around and secretly ran in front of Yi Suixian. Before she could say anything, tears had already flowed out. "Teacher Yi, please let Yan Gege go!
Yan Gege isn't a bad person. Please don't punish him, okay? "
The veins on Yi Yixian's forehead throbbed, and he felt like crying. 'Please, don't look at me with an expression that says' please don't kill him ', okay? I'm not a bad person, but you guys are looking at me like I'm some heinous villain. If this goes on, I'm going to think that I'm a big bad guy.'
Tianyi Sect, Central Sect.
"Hey!
Hey!
Have you heard?
I heard that there was a new disciple in the outer court who angered a teacher and was punished to run around the Wind Creek Mountain Range. "
"En!
I also heard about it. I don't know which unlucky brat it was, but it's too difficult for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to run a lap. "
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that there's no time limit, so he'll definitely take a break after running a few rounds. Then, running one round won't be a problem."
"This teacher is too harsh. By the time that kid finishes his run, the basic course will have already been finished. Won't he fall far behind the others?"
"I don't know what that teacher is thinking. The two sides are fine, but the back is very close to the forbidden gate. Although the spirit qi is dense, it is very dangerous for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him."
"Tsk, he's not a fool. Maybe he'll give up after running for a while. Anyway, no one will blame him."
"I think this brat's courage is commendable!
Hehe!
I really want to meet him?
Takeshi
…
This kind of topic quickly became a hot topic in the Central Sect. Perhaps it was because cultivation was too boring. It was rare to encounter such an interesting matter, so everyone used it to pass the time.
Some people even used it as a wager, betting on whether Yan Yue would give up or persist, and betting on how long he would take to finish running. In short, the outer and inner courts became more lively. Although many people didn't know the name of this unlucky brat, it didn't affect everyone's attention on Yan Yue.
Three to four days passed, and the lively atmosphere began to die down. Another two to three days passed, and the inner and outer courts had calmed down. Everyone once again immersed themselves in cultivation.
Yan Yue seemed to have been forgotten, but in fact, many people were waiting. Looking at the situation, they knew that the brat hadn't given up. Then, they just had to see when he would finish running.
At this moment, Yan Yue was still running.
In fact, she already didn't know how far she had run. This road seemed to have no end. If it wasn't for the changing scenery along the way, she would have thought that she was constantly running in circles.
It had to be said that the teacher was right to let her run. This was really a great exercise for the body. However, touching her shriveled stomach, Yan Yue weakly leaned on the soft belly of the Tuantuan. So hungry!
In order to finish running faster, she used all her spiritual power on her hands and feet.
But running day and night without stopping consumed too much spiritual power. Moreover, without the support of spiritual power, her stomach was starting to feel hungry.
Although she didn't use spiritual power to heal the big and small wounds on her hands and body, the wounds and blisters on her feet required spiritual power to heal. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to continue running.
This also caused the consumption of spiritual power to increase greatly.
If she didn't have a five-attribute spiritual root, the storage of spiritual power was several times more than the average person, and there were some pills in her storage bag that could restore spiritual power, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to continue.
Once again, she took out a middle grade spirit stone. Holding it in the palm of her hand, she absorbed the spiritual power. Her dry body was slowly moisturized. Feeling that her physical strength was somewhat recovered, she could already run. Yan Yue put away the spirit stone and stood up from the Tuantuan.
A gust of wind blew, and the Tuantuan shrank back to its miniature size.
The Tuantuan looked at its master. It wanted to help, but it didn't dare. A few days ago, it saw that Yan Yue was really too tired, so it wanted to help. However, it made its master angry and ignored it for a long time. Now that its master's mood had eased a lot, it couldn't make its master unhappy.
It was afraid that the next time its master was angry, it wouldn't be ignoring it, but not wanting it.
Looking at the Tuantuan's worried eyes, Yan Yue smiled faintly and patted its little head to reassure it that she was fine.
Sorry, Tuantuan. It's not that I don't want to be cruel and ignore you. It's just that I can't rely on you.
If I have someone to rely on, I won't become strong. I won't force myself to move forward. This will only make me weak. I don't want to see myself like that.
As your master, how can I be protected by you!
I should be the one to become strong and protect you …

"You're really here." Yan stood by the lake and looked at Hito beside him.
"Sect Master."
Hearing Hito's words, Yan angrily grabbed his arms on both sides. Then, he weakly put them down. "I said, you don't have to call me that."
Hito's lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth.
Yan's eyes were filled with anger and powerlessness. There was no trace of the usual coldness in them.
His only good friend, the only person he had tried his best to befriend, did not remember him. He was left alone like a fool. How could he endure this?
He turned around with his back facing Hito. He didn't want him to see his weak appearance, even if he couldn't see it.
Opening his mouth again, Yan said, "A few days ago, did you get close to the Dragon Lock Pool?"
Hito gently shook his head and said, "No, what happened?"
"Nothing!"
Yan was silent for a few seconds before continuing, "If you still can't remember anything, then I will also go to the Cangyan Sea. At that time, wherever you go, I will no longer keep you."
Reaching out, Hito grabbed Yan's arm and said, "Don't go."
That place was too dangerous. He couldn't let Yan take the risk because of him.
Shaking off Hito's hand, Yan took a few steps back and said, "You're not going?
Heh!
If you can go, why can't I? Just like how you forgot about me, I will also forget about you. "
Feeling that Yan had already left, Hito faced the lake and sighed, "Yan …"
Yan directly returned to his cave. Mu Fanghua and Violet stood on either side of him and said to Yan, "Sect Master."
Yan ignored them. After entering the cave, he immediately closed the stone door, leaving the two stunned people looking at each other.
Violet saw that the Sect Master seemed to be in a bad mood and was slightly puzzled. He said to Mu Fanghua, "Senior Brother Mu, do you know what happened to the Sect Master?" Mu Fanghua replied, "I don't, and this is not something we should be concerned about." Violet and Mu Fanghua spoke as they flew towards the outer sect.
"I heard that Junior Brother Yi Yixian heavily punished a new disciple. Do you know who it is?"
Mu Fanghua frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I also heard that. It seems to be someone called Yan Yue." It's her?
Violet was startled and stopped. Mu Fanghua also stopped, "What's wrong?" "Nothing, I just happened to know her." Yan Yue!
You really know how to give me surprises!
"There are hundreds of new disciples. If you can remember her, she must not be simple. Is she one of the six geniuses?"
"No, she's just a little prettier. That's why I remember her."
"Oh?" Mu Fanghua chuckled and said, "Then I'm not interested anymore."
Violet sighed, "I also don't want you to be too interested in her."
The two of them did not speak anymore. When they arrived at the Outer Gate, Mu Fanghua stepped on her folding fan and flew in a different direction from Violet Orchid. "I'm going to teach those brats the Imperial Wind Technique. See you later, Junior Sister Violet!"
Violet watched as Mu Fanghua's figure disappeared into the distance. Only then did he step on his flying silk and fly towards the Sui Garden.
This time, six of the new disciples were recognized as the most gifted children. This was indeed a situation that had never happened before. But why? Violet Orchid was slightly worried. Why was there only one girl among the six? The chances of winning the Secluded Abyss Trial were not high to begin with. Now, it seemed that the chances were even slimmer.
Could it be that this time, I'm going to lose again?
I'm just two weak chess pieces. I'm afraid that I won't be able to defeat those geniuses. I really don't want to accept this. Last time, I lost to Mu Fanghua. This might be the last time. Next time, I'm afraid that Mu Fanghua and I will have reached the Out of Body Stage. Then, I won't be able to enter the Extreme Electric River.
