Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 140: The Wild Fairy Feng Ya Appears

Seeing Ling Jue in a bad mood, Ye Wenxin focused on her reading. After some shopping in town, they finally arrived at Cangyu Sect by nightfall.

Due to the special occasion, there were twelve gatekeepers at Cangyu Sect. When Ye Wenxin and Ling Jue appeared, the gatekeepers lined up in unison, creating an impressive sight.

"Teacher Ling."

"Sister Ye."

Among the crowd was Brother Lu, a gatekeeper familiar to Ye Wenxin, but she didn't know the others well enough to pay much attention.

Ling Jue maintained her gentlemanly demeanor, admired by men and adored by women. Witnessing this, Ye Wenxin felt as if the past few days had been a dream.

"Brother Ling, I'll head back to the dormitory first," Ye Wenxin said, maintaining her respectful distance from Ling Jue. With the Immortal Sect Grand Meeting approaching, she wanted to avoid any conflicts with Ling Jue's fervent admirers.

"Alright, go ahead." Ling Jue didn't stop her, and they each entered their respective gates—Ling Jue to the alchemy courtyard and Ye Wenxin to the outer disciples' quarters.

The journey was as quiet as ever, with familiar faces occasionally greeting Ye Wenxin.

"Ye Wenxin?"

Midway, Ye Wenxin encountered her roommate, Bai Liumu.

Since moving to the alchemy courtyard, she hadn't spoken much with Bai Liumu, so seeing her now was a pleasant surprise.

"Bai Liumu?"

"When did you get back?"

"Just now, heading back to the dorm," Ye Wenxin replied. Bai Liumu seemed to have improved her cultivation significantly, and perhaps due to their time apart, her demeanor was more amicable.

"Ah, no wonder I didn't know. So, did you pass the primary alchemist exam during your trip?" Bai Liumu asked, eagerly curious. Ye Wenxin felt a bit awkward, unsure how to explain that she had been a primary alchemist before leaving.

After a moment's thought, Ye Wenxin nodded and affirmed.

"Yes, I passed."

"What was the exam like? Was it difficult?" Bai Liumu's questions multiplied. As a member of the alchemy courtyard, she was naturally interested in alchemy's future prospects.

Ye Wenxin vaguely recounted the primary alchemist assessment she had witnessed, sharing a general overview.

Bai Liumu listened intently, her respect for Ye Wenxin growing. "Regardless of the written test, mastering pill-making in such a short time is impressive, Ye Wenxin."

Her tone was refreshingly straightforward, avoiding the formalities others might use. Bai Liumu had a broad understanding of various topics, making conversations with her easy. They continued walking, their shadows stretching long behind them.

As they approached the dormitory, familiar faces became more frequent.

"Big Sis, you're back!"
