The time to set off for the mission was scheduled for the next morning. Yu Qing Qian and the others returned to prepare.
Due to the time constraints, Yu Qing Qian and Feng Chen, Chi Mo Ran separated without saying anything. Either way, there’d be more than enough time to spend together in the following mission.
Back at the wooden house, Feng Qiu was still in Yu Qing Qian’s house.
“Master, I’m going on a mission tomorrow.” Yu Qing Qian sat in front of her and said affectionately.
Feng Qiu rubbed Yu Qing Qian’s head, “I just received a message from Bai Ji too. This mission has great opportunities for you, but the dangers aren’t small either. You mustn’t take it lightly.”
“Mm, don’t worry, I’ll definitely be careful.” Catching the worry in Master Feng Qiu’s eyes, Yu Qing Qian felt warm.
Feng Qiu took out a pair of exquisitely crafted earrings and placed them on for Yu Qing Qian, “This is a defensive spiritual item that can withstand ten attacks from a Spirit Emperor. When activated, it can also trigger teleportation twice to random locations. Master will give it to you to protect you for when you’re in danger.”
“Thank you, Master.” Yu Qing Qian took Feng Qiu’s hand in hers.
Feng Qiu stood up and said with a faint smile: “Go and refine the remaining potions quickly, take a rest, then go on the mission tomorrow. Master will wait for your safe return.”
“Mm, I will.”
After Feng Qiu left, Yu Qing Qian adjusted her mood and continued to extract and purify the prepared poisons, which could be used on this mission.
Yu Qing Qian finished extracting and purifying it until late at night and didn’t do anything else. She laid on the bed and slept peacefully.
Early the next morning, when Yu Qing Qian left, the door of Feng Qiu’s house was closed. She knew that Master didn’t like this kind of farewell scene, so she saluted to the wooden house and went down the mountain to the agreed location.
Not long after Yu Qing Qian left, Feng Qiu opened the wooden door, thought for a moment, and waved to a demonic plant in the garden.
That demonic plant suddenly transformed into a colourful butterfly and landed in her palm.
“Follow her. If her life is in danger, then help her. Don’t let her discover your presence.” Feng Qiu softly explained to the colourful butterfly.
She accepted a disciple for the first time. After interacting with her for half a year, she had already regarded Yu Qing Qian as family, so she didn’t want her disciple to die during this mission.
So behind the back of the Holy Academy’s superiors, she sent a Peak Emperor-level cultivation base demonic plant to protect her.
Of course, Yu Qing Qian couldn’t be allowed to know about being protected by the demonic plant, otherwise the training effect wouldn’t be achieved. After all, many potentials of a Spiritual Plant Master could only be realised in times of life or death.
The colourful butterfly rubbed Feng Qiu’s hand affectionately, as if making a promise, then flapped its wings and disappeared in the mountains.
Yu Qing Qian still didn’t know that her Master had quietly sent a demonic plant to protect her secretly and was meeting the others at the gate of the Holy Academy.
There was also a pupil from the Yellow Peak participating in this mission named Su Ming. He was a pupil with two excellent talents and was also a genius pupil who was specially trained.
Su Ming usually buried his head studying plant inscriptions, but because Yu Qing Qian’s reputation was so loud, he had also heard of her.
“Junior Sister, you’re here.” Su Ming’s attitude towards Yu Qing Qian was relatively friendly. Before setting off, the Yellow Peak’s Honoured Leader specifically spoke to him to have him secretly watch over this junior sister a bit.
Su Ming also knew that the fall of a devilish genius like Yu Qing Qian would be a loss to the Holy Academy, so he naturally agreed. After all, they didn’t have much conflict of interest. They were also pupils of the same Academy and same Peak, so they should take more care of her.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Su!” Yu Qing Qian had a good impression of this senior brother. He was polite and looked easy to get along with at first sight.
