Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 64: I Am the Best in the World

This secret is something the others might never discover.

"By the way, I haven't seen Xiangsi lately. Where did she go?" Watching everyone rush off, Ye Wenxin suddenly realized she hadn't seen Gu Xiangsi in quite some time.

Given Gu Xiangsi's lively nature, it was hard to believe she could remain quiet for over a month, not even appearing in the dining hall.

"What? Boss, you don't know?" The chubby one, clutching his handwritten manual, looked surprised, as if astonished that Ye Wenxin was unaware of Gu Xiangsi's current situation.

"No, I don't. Do you all know?" Ye Wenxin asked, puzzled. Wherever she went, people eagerly discussed her, but she rarely heard gossip about others.

"Xiangsi was chosen by the elders of the Discipline Hall to become one of them." The revelation struck Ye Wenxin with sudden understanding.

The Discipline Hall, along with the Law Enforcement Hall and Financial Hall, are the three main authority bodies in the Cangyu Sect. It seemed that after Gu Aotian became Feng Ya's first true disciple, his sister Gu Xiangsi also garnered attention. To Ye Wenxin, this felt more like a way to control Gu Aotian, while also ensuring Gu Xiangsi's safety.

As the top recruit and Feng Ya's first true disciple, Gu Aotian naturally drew attention. As Ye Wenxin expected, this focus placed Gu Aotian in a highly dangerous position.

But since Gu Aotian was the protagonist, he would overcome any crisis.

"I see. You can go now." Having gained the information she sought, Ye Wenxin dismissed the eager group, who quickly scattered to study their new manuals.

Ye Wenxin remained seated, lost in thought, feeling as if she had forgotten something important but unable to recall what it was.

It wasn't until she noticed Baili Mu standing at a distance, her face openly showing disdain, that Ye Wenxin's mind cleared. Unbothered by others' opinions, she shifted to a more comfortable position and played with the flowers before her.

Amidst a riot of colors, none resembled the small white flower Huang Hanyan had worn. Suddenly, Ye Wenxin remembered its name: the Flower of Purity.

This flower was a rare and expensive ingredient for the Rejuvenation Pill. Ye Wenxin had been cautious when she first encountered it, never expecting to see it here.

Even so, Ye Wenxin remained seated.

By now, some time had passed since she met Huang Hanyan, and the flower was likely long gone.

"Ye Wenxin, I don't care who you are or what you do, but isn't skipping class too much?" Baili Mu, seeing Ye Wenxin leisurely enjoying the flowers, felt her anger flare.

"Class, oh no, what time is it?" Ye Wenxin suddenly remembered she had a basic martial arts class that afternoon and was completely late.

"Did you come here just to find me?" Finding Baili Mu here instead of in class puzzled Ye Wenxin.

"You're overthinking it. The elders sent me to get you. They said if you don't show up, no one else will have class," Baili Mu gritted her teeth, her dislike for Ye Wenxin growing.
