After Ye Wanjun left, the group returned to Nan Gong Huan’s dorm.

  "Hey, Ah Huan, didn’t you earn thousands of credits? Why haven’t you upgraded your dorm?" Yun Qingqing looked around the bare dorm with confusion. Although it was clean, it was far less functional and convenient compared to other dorms.

  "It’s fine. I don’t care about that," Nan Gong Huan said, setting up a table. The dorm’s common area was actually quite spacious, just enough for a game.

  As Nan Gong Huan taught them how to play mahjong, she also began probing for information.

  They quickly got the hang of it, and the sound of tiles clattering filled the room.

  "Ye Sang, do you know Elder Shuiyue?" Nan Gong Huan’s main goal was still to gather the magical herbs needed for her Fourth Spirit Realm advancement potion.

  Some rare herbs were in the possession of various elders, most of which were obscure.

  "I do. Are you looking for that old woman? She’s got a terrible temper. Oh, and she’s also Nan Gong Qian’er’s mentor," Ye Sang said, her face full of disdain when mentioning Elder Shuiyue.

  "She’s Nan Gong Qian’er’s mentor?" Nan Gong Huan frowned. This made things much more difficult.

  "Why are you looking for her? That old woman is notoriously stingy. We’re all pretty scared of her," Ye Sang said, observing the tiles. Who knew this little game could be so fun?

  Nan Gong Huan sighed. "I need some herbs. They’re very important to me, and I must get them."

  Ye Wanjun, organizing his tiles, said, "Isn’t your senior sister some kind of elder at the Glory Auction House? You could ask her for help."

  "That’s right! If the academy doesn’t have it, the Glory Auction House definitely will!" Ye Sang chimed in.

  This reminded Nan Gong Huan that she still had the guest elder token. She could go directly to the Glory Auction House to check, which would save a lot of trouble.

  Some elders were unwilling to part with their herbs, which was a huge hassle.

  She’d refine more potions and take them to the Glory Auction House to see if they could help.

  The Glory Auction House, as a multinational corporation with branches worldwide, had ten or even a hundred times more treasures than this royal academy!

  "I feel like I’m about to break through to the Fourth Spirit Realm soon, all thanks to Ah Huan," Ye Sang said with a grin. Before the semester started, Nan Gong Huan had given her many potions to boost her strength and solidify her foundation. Now, she could easily rank in the top ten among her peers.

  "That’s great! Congratulations. Here’s the advancement potion for the Fourth Spirit Realm," Nan Gong Huan temporarily set aside the Glory Auction House matter and handed her a bottle of the advancement potion.

  Ye Sang was pleasantly surprised. "Ah Huan, you’ve already given me so much. I don’t know how to repay you."

  Her eyes were full of gratitude, her emotions hard to put into words.

  "In half a year, it’ll be the Order Team competition. Let’s team up," Nan Gong Huan looked at the three of them and smiled charmingly.

  "Yes, yes! I agree with both hands and feet!" Yun Qingqing almost jumped in excitement!

  She had been waiting for Nan Gong Huan to say this! Her mentor had said that with her strength, she could definitely find great teammates and even offered to arrange some strong ones for her, but she had refused.

  She had been waiting for Nan Gong Huan to say this!

  So happy! Yun Qingqing held her face, her eyes sparkling like stars.

  "I was thinking the same thing. So, the four of us are still missing two people," Ye Sang suppressed her excitement. Ah Huan was a person who knew right from wrong and had become someone she wanted to protect!

  "By the way, where’s that... follower of yours? He didn’t show up even when something this big happened to you?" Ye Wanjun finally remembered the mysterious guest.

  He used to stick to Nan Gong Huan like glue, almost following her to the bathroom.

  "He had some business and left the academy for a while. I don’t know when he’ll be back," Nan Gong Huan’s eyes dimmed slightly. If that glutton could return within half a year, she would really like to team up with him.

  Yun Qingqing’s eyes brightened even more. That annoying guy wasn’t here, so no one could compete with her for her sister’s attention!

  "It’s okay, sister. Let’s not pay attention to that faithless scoundrel. In my opinion, he must be out there fooling around!" Yun Qingqing slammed the table and rushed to Nan Gong Huan, pulling out a bouquet of moon-white flowers to give her.

  "Sister, don’t be upset. You still have me," Yun Qingqing smiled brightly, the enthusiastic little loli looking utterly adorable.

  Nan Gong Huan looked at the flowers in her hand, both amused and touched. These flowers usually grew on high mountains, and only a few peaks in the academy had them.

  This little loli actually went out of her way to pick them?

  "Thank you. You must have put a lot of effort into picking these," Nan Gong Huan gently sniffed the fragrance of the moon-white flowers, which had a faint scent reminiscent of snow lotus.

  The moon-white flowers looked somewhat like soft white peonies.

  "Hehe, I stole them from my master’s place. He loves fiddling with these flowers and plants. What’s the point of just having them there for decoration? Giving them to someone important is what makes them meaningful!" Yun Qingqing said proudly.

  Her master had plenty of flowers and plants anyway, so one less wouldn’t matter. Yun Qingqing proudly puffed out her chest.

  But the moon-white flowers in Nan Gong Huan’s hand wilted into a limp mess in less than five seconds.

  "Huh?" Everyone’s gaze froze. What was going on with these flowers? Even if they were wilting, they shouldn’t do so this quickly.

  "Ah!" Yun Qingqing couldn’t help but scream, her face scrunching up. "Why did they wilt so fast? I just picked them this morning. This shouldn’t happen!"

  Only Nan Gong Huan probably knew the reason.

  She helplessly glanced at the Wansheng flower on her fingertip. It was probably jealous.

  The Wansheng flower wriggled vigorously, growing a second bud!

  With a soft pop, the bud gradually opened, and two pink flowers complemented each other, emitting a rich but not overpowering fragrance.

  "Eh, Ah Huan, what’s this?" Ye Sang noticed the Wansheng flower on her finger and couldn’t help but ask. "A Wansheng flower? Isn’t this just a common weed?"

  As soon as Ye Sang finished speaking, the Wansheng flower’s bud suddenly lifted, revealing what could be called a "face" on the flower’s base, and spat twice at her!

  Although the saliva only landed on Ye Sang’s arm and wasn’t very powerful, it still gave her a burning sensation.

  "This little thing has quite the temper," Ye Wanjun became curious about the Wansheng flower. It was a wildflower that had developed wood spirit intelligence.
