“A ranking meeting of the inner sect can be held in various forms. The ranking meeting of spiritual masters has the most modality.” Ge Liang explained.

“Then what’s the use of the three conventions?” Sima You Yue asked.

“This is related to cultivation resources in the future. You should be aware of the unstable situation of the inner sect by now?” Ge Liang asked.

“I know. Fatty and the rest did tell me about it yesterday.” Sima You Yue said.

“The cultivation resources of the inner sect are first based on talent and secondly, on strength. The better one’s talent is, the stronger one’s strength is, the more cultivation resources they’ll obtain.” Ge Liang said, “Although you chose the alchemy department, I know that your main development is spirit cultivation, so you can take more of the cultivation resources in the inner sect.”

I understand.” Sima You Yue said. “I will attend the three conventions.”

“Go back and prepare. I’ll contact Old Xu. Once he returns, he’ll bring you to the inner sect.” Ge Liang said.

“Teacher Ge, is Teacher Xu very special in the inner sect?” He actually had the authority to give her permission for her trip. Sima You Yue felt that she needed to learn more about her future teacher.

“Don’t be mistaken. Although he acts young, he’s only younger than your master by a little bit. His alchemy isn’t much better than your master before master’s injury.” Ge Liang answered.

“Hmm?” Sima You Yue opened her mouth in surprised. That flashy guy was about the same as her master?

“Don’t be surprised. Although his age and power are there, he is almost the same as a baby who hasn’t grown up. He’s a poor model for others.” Ge Liang said.

“Cough cough—-” Sima You Yue heard about his countenance. She didn’t know whether to laugh or not.

She met him twice. She also discovered Xu Jin’s temperament was a little out of touch, like a romantic prodigal son, but not as exaggerated as Ge Liang’s description.

“Is he very special in the inner sect?”

“Mm, according to his strength, he can be the director of the inner sect’s alchemy department, but he won’t. If he is made the director, then he will leave the sect. It can’t be helped; we have to rely on him.”?Ge Liang answered, “Because his alchemy ability is very strong, his personality eccentric, won’t accept the students he doesn’t like, and won’t host a class when he doesn’t want to. President Yuan gave him a special right. He cannot be controlled by the department of alchemy and yet he can select students first, so although you belong to the department of alchemy, you can also say that you don’t.”

Sima You Yue understood Xu Jin’s position. Thinking of his temperament, she asked, “How many students has he accepted over the years?”

“There are several.” Ge Liang replied. “But the temperament of your seniors, well, you’ll know once you enter the inner sect.”

She could already imagine the students of Xu Jin may be similar to him. Otherwise, how would he be interested in them?

“Teacher Ge, then I’m heading back.” She raised herself.

“Alright. I’ll go and see if that guy is in the inner sect first.” Ge Liang said. “Go back and wait.”

“Alright, thank you, teacher Ge.” She bowed to Ge Liang before turning to leave.

Towards Ge Liang, she was both respectful and grateful. She chose the Department of medicine by herself. Although without a supervisor, Ge Liang can be considered on. Not only he taught her medical skills, but also helped her find a way to cure his younger brother. His help and influence on her was enormous.

After leaving the sect, she returned home. She shared a portion of the objects she obtained from the Ninth Star sea with Sima You Lie. These objects in the Violet Water clan perhaps was only to fill up a warehouse. But they are rather valuable on land.

Sima You Yue wanted Sima Lie to switch to a larger courtyard and recruit some people to take care of them, but they all said that they were used to this kind of life now, and no one would find them trouble. Besides, with the help of Memory Restaurant and Xuan Yuan Pavilion, no one in Heavenly City dared to bother them.

Since they insisted, she didn’t impose. In recent days, Ge Liang didn’t give her any news. Probably, Xu Jin hadn’t come back. She took this opportunity to relax herself. She made food for Sima Lie and family every day, chatted with them, went shopping, and went to visit the Memory Restaurant with them. She didn’t think about the pressure, the unfinished business, and the hatred of the past. Life was easy like a dream.

Unfortunately, such a comfortable life didn’t last long. It was cut short in a flash.

Sima You Yue saw Xu Jin, who is languidly leaning on the imperial chair while Sima Lie was chatting with him. She suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and went up to pay her respects to Xu Jin.

“Teacher Xu, why have you personally come?”

Xu Jin saw that Sima You Yue’s aura was much stronger. He smiled and said, “It seems that you’ve got a good harvest going to the ninth star sea! Are you grateful that I gave you a year’s vacation?”

“Thank you for your help, Teacher Xu.” Sima You Yue thanked.

“I’ve been out of town these days. I just came back today. Old Ge told me that you’re back, so I’m came.” Xu Jin said, “Now I’m going to the inner sect. You can go with me.”

“Are we leaving now?” Sima You Yue was stunned.

She looked at the sky and it was almost evening.

“Of course, it’s now. Or do you want me to stay for dinner?” Xu Jin glanced at her.

“You Yue, since your teacher said to go now, then go now.” Sima Lie said.

“Yes. Then we’re going.” Sima You Yue said she was going. Afterall, all her stuff was in the Spirit pagoda, so she didn’t need to pack anything.

Xu Jin directly opened the space channel and took her in. Sima You Yue only felt as if she had been riding in the space for a few minutes. Accordingly, she shouldn’t had arrived at the outer sect, but when she came out, she was already in a mountain forest.

“This is the Maze forest. If you walk here, you can get to the inner sect. I’ll wait for you in the inner sect.” Xu Jin then disappeared.

Sima You Yue observed the dark forest and couldn’t help but raised her mouth. This guy was in a hurry to bring her to the inner sect just to throw her here at night. She didn’t know what hellish place was the maze forest?

She scanned her surroundings and wasn’t sure which way to go. She simply found a wide place and made a fire. She called out her spirit beasts to chat and made some food along the way.

“Hiss Hiss—–”

A sound transmitted over, and Little Roc became alert. He wanted to deal with the sneak attacker, but Sima You Yue stopped him.

“Let’s see what rank is it. If its strength isn’t too much, I haven’t had any batter experience after leveling up.”

“It’s only a rank three spirit beast.” Little Roc said.

“Then let me take care of it.” After storing Little Roc and them away, Sima You Yue saw a large python charging at her.

Sima You Yue jumped away from the spot, and that python bumped its head on the tree she was leaning on before.
