After Ye Feng made the deal with Princess Rou, he returned to his dwelling.
Ye Feng entered his dwelling, and he took a bottle of pills from his space belt. He looked at the last four green pills in the bottle and said, "I am glad I was able to make this deal with the princess. I will be able to increase my cultivation quickly thanks to the pure cleansing pills. Usually, absorbing so many monster cores to increase your cultivation is ill advised because the monster cores contain some ferocious energy within them. The cultivator will need to purify his saint force after absorbing the energy within the monster cores, but thanks to the pure cleansing pills, I will not have to worry about purifying my saint force because these pills don't only purify my body; they also purify my saint force."
Ye Feng then filled a bathing barrel with water and swallowed one of the pure cleansing pills. He then got into the barrel, closed his eyes, and started to relax. Ye Feng body started to expels the impurities and his saint force started to get purer and purer each second passed.

In princess Rou's Dwelling
Xiu and Ya were helping Rou dress up in her room when all of them suddenly heard a knock on the door: "KNOCK, KNOCK." Rou then said, with her sweet voice, "ENTER.".
The door was opened, and Mie walked into the room. She cupped her fist. "Princess, how can I help you?" Rou smiled kindly to her and said, "Mie, I want you to grab the yellow space belt and deliver it to Ye Feng.".
Mie blushed heavily when she heard Ye Feng's name. Both Xiu and Ya were surprised when they saw her blush so much. They were curious about Mia's behaviour, but they didn't comment about it because Rou was present.
Mia slowly went and grabbed the yellow space belt, then cupped her fist to Rou, "I will be in my way, princess." Rou nodded to Mie and said, "You may leave.". Mie left the room and closed the door behind her gently.

With Fu
After attending the class for today, Fu started walking to his dwelling, but he was stopped by one of the academy staff. It was Hong, one of the Zhang clan followers, who was present yesterday in Bowen dwelling.
Hong smiled at Fu and said to him, "Student Fu, how have you been lately?" Fu looked at Hong and cupped his fist to him, "Thank you for asking, instructor, I'm doing well." Hong nodded his head and gave him a kind smile.
"Well, student Fu I was hoping you could help me with something. Fu looked at Hong in curiosity when he heard what he said and asked him, "What do you need help with, instructor?"
Hong smiled at Fu and started explaining, "You can call me instructor Hong student Fu; you see, I am a sword practitioner just like your friend student Ye Feng." When Fu heard this, he became wary of Hong. "Could he be after brother Feng like those other academy staff who ambushed him a couple of times in the past few weeks?" he thought to himself, but he didn't show any change in expression.
Hong continued, "Ever since I saw a student, Ye Feng, fight against former student Zhang Wei and former student Zhang Bo in the fighting arena, I became interested in him. I want to test his sword skills as a fellow sword practitioner." Fu kept looking at Hong intently, but Hong didn't mind the look that Fu was giving him; he just continued smiling at him.
Hong waved his hand above the space ring he was wearing, and a rank-three monster core appeared in his hand. Fu's eyes widened when he saw the monster core that Hong was holding.
Hong smirked and said, "If you can bring Ye Feng to the isolated training ground in the south part of the academy, I will give you this monster core." Fu looked at the monster core with desire and greed. When Hong saw the look that Fu was giving the monster core, his smirk widens, and he asks, "So what is your answer, student Fu? Will you accept my request?"
Fu smiled and nodded. He extended his hand to take the monster core from him, but Hong shocked his head and smiled at Fu. "After you bring student Ye Feng to the training ground tomorrow after class, I will give you the monster core." Fu looked annoyed at Hong, but he nodded to him and said, "Fine, I will bring him tomorrow after class to the isolated training ground in the south.".
Hong smiled and nodded to Fu, then left. Fu walked back to his dwelling and thought, "My guts telling me things isn't this simple. I need to meet with brother Feng and tell him everything this guy just told me.".
After making up his mind, he started walking to Ye Feng dwelling to tell him about his meeting with Hong.

In Ye Feng Dwelling
After Ye Feng purified his body and saint force with the help of the Pure Cleansing pill, he took a bath to wash away all the impurities that were sticking to his skin.
"KNOCK, KNOCK." He heard a knock on his door. He quickly put on the academy robe and went to open the door. When he opened the door, Ye Feng saw Mei.
Mei blushed when she saw Ye Feng: "Oh, why can't I control myself? I am starting to remember last night's dream again. Oh, this is embarrassing".
Ye Feng sighed mentally. "Man, this maid always blushes whenever she sees me. I feel this is going to be very troublesome in the future.".
Mei tried to control herself and cupped her fist. "Young Master Ye, the princess, asked me to deliver this space belt to you." Mei handed the space belt to Ye Feng, who nodded and said, "Thank you.".
Mei blushes again. "Young Master, Ye, please excuse me; I will need to head back." Ye Feng nodded to her and excused her.
________
Ye Feng then sat in the lotus position after he closed the door of his dwelling and took out all the items stored in the space belt.
Ye Feng emptied the space belt. He found a scroll and the thirty bottles of pills he requested from the princess as part of the deal. He smiled when he saw the 10 pure cleansing pill bottles, 10 soul-nourishment pill bottles, and 10 saint concentrating pill bottles.
Ye Feng then decided to open the scroll and start reading.
"Dear Young Master Ye
I hope you are satisfied. I fulfilled my part of the deal by delivering the fifteen bottles of pills you requested. Now, for your part of the deal, I want you to go to the isolated training ground in the north tomorrow. You will be shadowed by instructor Zhao and our men. I am sure the Zhang clan followers will try to attack you there, but you don't need to worry; instructor Zhao and our men will protect you, and they will create a big commotion when they end up fighting against them. Because of the commotion, the academy headmaster will arrive and deal with the Zhang clan followers. Thank you for your cooperation with us." "princess Su Rou".
Ye Feng nodded after he read the princess letter. He stored the scroll back inside the space belt, along with pill bottles. Then he took one bottle of the Saint Concentrating pills and thought, "It is better to use the Saint Concentrating pills to cultivate my Saint Force, for now I need to increase my strength and my cultivation as soon as possible. If things do not go according to the princess's plan, I may lose my life."
After making up his mind, Ye Feng swallowed one Saint Concentrating pill and closed his eyes. Ye Feng started cultivating his Saint Force by swallowing the Saint Concentrating pill and absorbing it's energy.
Ye Feng swallows the Saint Condensing pill one after another and continues to cultivate. Suddenly, a strong aura erupted from him. He smiled widely. "I brokethrough into the 8th layer of the Saint Master realm.".
He calmed down and continued cultivating by using the Saint Concentrating pills.

With Mei
Mei returned to Princess Rou's dwelling and started cleaning the dwelling with the other maids. Xiu and Ya looked at each other, and they smiled mischievously at each other. After they nodded to each other, they walked to Mie.
Ya smiled and asked Mie in a teasing tone, "Hey Mei, how is Young Master Ye? Was he happy to see you again? Have you two had fun with each other?"
Mei blushed madly when she heard what Ya had just said to her. Xiu covered her mouth with her hand and started giggling. "Yes, Mei, tell us, was he fun? Was he very naughty with you? We want the details.
Mei couldn't take it anymore and yelled at them while blushing, "Shut up, both of you.".
Ya and Xiu burst out laughing, and Mei was glaring daggers at them. After Ya and Xiu stopped laughing, they both looked at Mia, and Ya said seriously to Mei, "Listen, Mei, we are just worried about you. You know, we are maids. We belong to the Su royal family; we are their servants for life." Xiu nodded in sadness, along with Mie.
Ya continued, "We don't have a say on the matter of whom we sleep with or who takes our virginity; after all, we are maids; we listen to our master; if our master demands we sleep with men, we have no choice but to follow the order; me and Xiu lost our virginities this way, and we ended up sleeping with many men." Mei nodded in understanding; she knows that one day she will end up sleeping with influential men and lose her virginity to someone she doesn't even know.
Xiu then asked, "Do you like young master Ye?" Mei blushes, then she answers, "He is very handsome, but yesterday I dreamed that he took my virginity."
When Ya and Xiu heard what Mei said, they were surprised and started laughing. Mei glared at them when she heard their laughter.
"Oh my, you really like him a lot, to the point you end up dreaming about him like that." Ya giggled, and Xiu couldn't help but giggle too. Mei's face turned totally red at what Ya said. Xiu then said to Mie, "Mei, I suggest you go and sleep with Young Master Ye." Mei's eyes widened, and. Ya nodded. "We are Maid Mei; we don't have any chance to love. You are lucky to have been chosen to come to the academy by the princess before losing your virginity; this is your chance to give your virginity to someone you like.".
Mie was quiet and was thinking about what Xiu said. Ya and Xiu saw that Mei was thinking deeply about what Xiu just said, and they decided to leave her with her own thoughts.

With Fu
Fu walked towards Ye Feng's dwelling. When he arrived, he knocked on Ye Feng's door "KNOCK, KNOCK.".
Ye Feng opened the door. When he saw Fu was the one who knocked, he smiled. "Well, if it isn't brother Fu, it's been a while.".
Ye Feng stepped to the side. Fu smiled at Ye Feng and entered the dwelling.
Ye Feng closed the door of his dwelling and sat on the opposite side of Fu. He took two wine bottles from his space belt. He gave one to Fu, and he started drinking the wine from the bottle he was holding.
"So, what brought you here today, brother Fu?" Ye Feng looked at Fu when he asked his question while taking big gulps from the wine bottle. Fu smiled at Ye Feng and took a big gulp of wine from the bottle. too "I came to tell you that one of the academy instructors approached me today and wanted to meet you in the isolated training ground in the south part of the academy.".
Fu then told Ye Feng about his encounter with Hong. After finishing telling Ye Feng about their conversation, Ye Feng was quite then smiled widely, "Maybe this is what I was waiting for to re-enter the Asura Sword Spirit World.".
Ye Feng then took two empty scrolls and started writing. After finishing writing, he gave the two scrolls to Fu with a huge smile, "Listen, Fu, I want you to give the blue scroll to the headmaster and the green scroll to the princess.".
Fu was confused and asked, "The princess?" Ye Feng then remembered that he didn't tell Fu about his meeting with the princess.
"Yes, do you remember the girl we saved in Dragon Forest when we participated in the Monster Cores Hunting Competition?" Fu nodded to Ye Feng. He remembered that girl, and Ye Feng continued, "She is one of the princesses of the Hidden Dragon Kingdom.".
Ye Feng then told him about the meeting he had with the princess and about their deal. After Fu heard it, he smirked, "Wow, you're one hell of a lucky guy, brother Feng." Ye Feng chuckled.
Ye Feng then said, "I know that you want the rank three monster core. I have a plan, and I am sure you will get the monster core if you do your part in the plan." Fu smiled and listened carefully to the plan that Ye Feng came up with, and Fu's smile started getting wider the more he listened.
Fu then said to Ye Feng, "You are a genius, brother Feng. Leave it to me. I will give the scrolls to the princess and to teacher." Ye Feng smiled at Fu. He told Fu the location of Rou's dwelling, and after drinking the wine, Fu bid farewell to Ye Feng.

In front Rou's Dwelling
Fu arrived in front of Rou's dwelling and knocked on the door. Ya opened the door, and when Fu saw her, he blushed at how pretty Ya was. Ya smiled at Fu; she gave him a charming smile. "Hello, how can I help you?" Fu quickly tried to suppress his blush and took out the green scroll from his space belt.
He smiled at Ya "Ye Feng asked me to deliver this scroll to the princess." Ya raised her eyebrow for a second, then smiled and nodded. " She took the scroll from Fu and nodded to him. "Thank you for delivering this scroll, young master." Fu smiled. "No worries. Miss see you around." Fu turned around and left to deliver the scroll to the headmaster.
Ya giggled when she saw Fu leaving quickly while blushing. "That was cute. Oh, well, better give the scroll to the princess.".
Ya closed the door and quickly went to the princess room. She knocked twice at the princess room, "KNOCK, KNOCK." " Enter." When Ya heard the princess order, she opened the door and walked towards the princess.
"Princess, someone came a few seconds ago and delivered this scroll; he said it was from young master Ye." When the princess heard this, she raised her eyebrow, took the scroll from Ya, and started reading it.
"Dear princess Rou
An academy instructor asked my friend Fu to bring me to meet him in the isolated south training ground, but I am sure the academy instructor is one of the Zhang clan followers. I would like to battle him one-on-one if you don't mind. Also, I will appreciate it if you do not let your men interfere unless I am going to die. I want to know how much stronger I've gotten. Thank you for your understanding.".
After reading the scroll, the princess looked at Ya with narrowed eyes and asked, "Who delivered this scroll? and what does he look like?" Ya nervously started describing what Fu looked like, and Princess Rou nodded in recognition after Ya described Fu.
The princess then said, "Summon senior Zhao, I want him to come and see me as soon as possible." Ya cupped her fist and quickly left the room to complete the order.

Headmaster Office
Fu entered the headmaster's office. The headmaster smiled when he saw Fu cupping his fist to him in greeting "student, greet teacher." The headmaster nodded. "It is rare that you come and see me on your own initiative, Fu. What makes you come and see me, child?".
Fu chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "Teacher Ye Feng asked me to deliver this scroll to you." Fu gave the headmaster the blue scroll, and the headmaster started reading the scroll.
"Drear headmaster
According to what Fu told me, the Zhang clan followers will be making their move against me soon. I would like you to be there if things go wrong, but I don't want you to take action right away because I want to try to enter the Asura Sword Spirit World. I tried many times to re-enter it, but I failed every time. I suspect that I need to be under tremendous pressure. I need to fight against the Zhang clan followers and experience the same pressure I experienced when I fought against the puppets in the pagoda. Thank you for your understanding and for all your help".
The headmaster smirked and then nodded in satisfaction. "Let's see what you made up, kid," he thought to himself. He then looked at Fu and said, "Let's go, Fu. I want to see how much you improve with your saint weapon." Both Fu and the headmaster then left the office and went to an isolated training ground.
Fu summoned his saint weapon, and the headmaster did the same when they arrived at the training ground. Fu charged at the headmaster, swinging his saint weapon. "CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK.".
The headmaster blocked all Fu's strikes with his saint weapon and said, "Good, you improved, but you need to use every part of your saint weapon, not only the axe blade of your weapon." Fu nodded to the headmaster in understanding, and he charged again at the headmaster.
They continued training until the sun set down, and the headmaster decided that was enough for today. "Good work, Fu, you are improving; that is is enough for today." Fu cupped his fist and said, "Thanks for today, teacher." . The headmaster smiled and nodded to him.
Fu then started walking back to his dwelling, and the headmaster started walking back to his office.
