Qingxuan Academy was on the outskirts of the capital. It took up a vast space and was rather large.
It would have taken an incredibly long time to get here from the capital on foot, but with the Winged Azure Wolf King's help, they reached in less than 10 minutes.
Guanghan wasn't a student at Qingxuan Academy, so he couldn't enter the academy's premises. He had gone in to look for Yun Qingyan the last time by using his special connections. He stopped the wolf right outside the entrance to Qingxuan Academy instead.
Yun Qingyan hopped off herself and walked towards the main gate of the academy.
She had only taken two steps when she was pulled back by a strong and large hand.
That hand had large knuckles and carried many old calluses from years of training with a sword, and its fingertips were slightly cold.
"Hmm?" Yun Qingyan turned to look back at Guanghan in confusion.
The swordsman in black had a face that was just like the sword in his hand. His face was always so cold and icy, and it continued to be so frosty even when he stood under the sun. His black hair was tied high up behind his head and cascaded down so straight and neatly.
At close range, Yun Qingyan could even see his long and dense fine eyelashes. They were just like him, straight without any curve at all.
"About last night…I'm sorry."
Guanghan looked at Yun Qingyan and hoped to notice something on her face covered with green spots.
Wait, what?
Yun Qingyan was slightly shocked. She didn't expect someone as proud and aloof as Guanghan would actually apologize.
"I'll definitely find out who's the real murderer."
With that, Guanghan didn't even wait for Yun Qingyan to reply before he hurriedly hopped back onto the Winged Azure Wolf King and left without even turning his head back.
Yun Qingyan stroked her chin as she watched the black figure disappear into the sky and became just a dot in the air. She shrugged and headed into the academy.
Since he had actually turned around to admit his mistake, she thought of telling him about Lin Wanyue. But since he ran off so quickly, it was too bad…
She happily took in the warm sunshine and hummed a tune as she leisurely walked towards the classroom in the C-Zone.
Qingxuan Academy split their students into three levels, A, B, and C. Yun Qingyan was a good-for-nothing who didn't have any gifts at all, so even though Grand Master Yun had given Qingxuan Academy many gifts to get her into the school, she could only get into the C-Level class, which was the lowest class.
"Hello, my dear juniors. I am…" A gentle female voice came from within the classroom, and before she finished her sentence, a lot of surprised cheers and squeals came from the rest of the students.
"Senior Wanyue!"
"Goddess Wanyue!"
"Goddess Wanyue, you don't have to introduce yourself, we all know who you are!"
"Are you really going to be the one leading us in the Magical Beast Hunting Competition? We're so lucky!"
"The goddess is leading us! Oh my God! Oh my God! What do I do?! I'm so excited I'm going crazy!"
"Since Goddess Wanyue is here, does that mean that our God Baili is coming along too?! Oh My God, I can't breathe anymore!"
The excited and agitated voices were mixed together and they were going to blast the roof off the classroom soon.
"Creaaaak…"
The main door of the room was pushed open.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on the noisy hall. The whole place fell silent and suddenly everyone stood up at the same time.
Lin Wanyue's reaction was the most agitated out of all of them.
Her face instantly turned deathly pale and she couldn't even feel her nails digging into her palms.
Yun Qingyan… didn't die?
Eventually, it was Yun Qingyan who broke this silence in the classroom.
"Oh my, what a grand way to welcome me. I'm so embarrassed now."
Her red lips curled up slightly and she looked rather malicious now.
"You good-for-nothing, what are you doing here?"
"Get out! Our class doesn't need useless people!"
"A useless bum wants to enter the Magical Beast Hunting Competition? That's as good as sending herself to die!"
"Don't tell me you're doing this for Young Master Baili again? Go take a piss and look at yourself in the reflection of your pee! You're so ugly, you're not even fit to collect the poop from the houses!"
"You're seriously just a toad lusting after a swan's flesh! How shameless!"
