"Master, I'm not tired." Quill was in a good mood and said honestly upon hearing his master's concern. He was a flying beast, and flying was his instinct, so how could he be tired? Moreover, he had his master's pills, so flying was very easy.
"Master, divine beasts aren't so weak. You don't have to worry too much," Charm, lying in Leng Ruoxue's arms, comforted. He knew that his master cherished them beasts, and they also cherished her. Quill knew that his master wanted to go back early, so he didn't want to stop.
Leng Ruoxue gently caressed Charm's soft and smooth fur and relaxed her heart. She knew that her beasts were all very strong, but no matter how strong they were, they were still her beasts! Moreover, in her heart, her beasts were as important as her family.
"Master, we've entered the borders of the Eastern Lagoon Empire," Quill said as he looked down.
"Quill, thanks for your hard work.."
"Master, it's okay. We'll be home in a few hours." Then Quill accelerated and flew at full speed.
"Elder Qiu, are there any arrangements by the academy after we return?" Leng Ruoxue's beautiful eyes glanced at the excited Elder Qiu. I really don't know why this old man is so excited!
"I have to go back and ask the principal. I don't know either." Elder Qiu scratched his head, slightly embarrassed.
"Oh." I thought the principal already made plans!
"Elder Qiu, Huo Qing wants to come to the Heavenly Phoenix Academy. What do you think about this matter?" Leng Ruoxue asked again. That Huo Qing is really troublesome.
"Erm… I think he's here for you." As soon as Elder Qiu finished speaking, he immediately felt a cold glare shooting at him, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck. Boohoo… I'm telling the truth. Why are you scaring me like this!
Elder Qiu felt aggrieved. I am a Spiritual Supremacy. How can I actually be afraid of my own student! Boohoo…
"Well, you're right. He's treating me as a sparring partner." Leng Ruoxue was depressed thinking of it. Was I asking for it?
"Xue'er, what should we do then?" Freak's eyes burned with jealousy, and he wanted to extinguish the fire in them right away.
"Freak, I will focus on cultivating after I go back. I shouldn't be going to the academy anymore," Leng Ruoxue said comfortingly after thinking.
"Oh, then I have to focus on cultivating too," Freak quickly said. But he was still very happy when he heard Xue'er say that she wouldn't go to the academy. Hmph! Huo Qing can keep his wishful thinking to himself.
"Lass, how can you not go to the academy? Our academy can't live without you!" Elder Qiu couldn't help feeling a little anxious when he heard Leng Ruoxue say that she wouldn't go to the academy anymore.
"Elder Qiu, my main purpose for going to the academy was to compete in the Academy Competition. Now that I've completed my task, there's naturally no need for me to go to the academy. Moreover, do you think there's anything the academy can teach me?" Leng Ruoxue raised her beautiful eyes slightly and glanced at Elder Qiu lightly.
"Erm… Lass, you'd better tell the principal yourself." Elder Qiu was helpless. Hopefully, the principal can persuade her to stay!
"Okay, I'll tell Grandpa Lin."
"Master, we're at Phoenix City," Quill reminded after flying for a few more hours.
"Quill, find a place to let them down!" Leng Ruoxue ordered. Everyone was tired, so they should go home and have a good rest!
"Yes, Master." Quill found a wide and flat place to land.
"Miss?" Liu Yan and the others were bewildered.
"Go home and have a good rest. Three days later, come to the general's mansion to look for me. I have other arrangements," Leng Ruoxue explained while looking at the rich expressions on everyone's faces. She couldn't help finding it funny. Do these people think that they've been abandoned?
"Yes, Miss." Liu Yan and the others were overjoyed. They thought that their young lady didn't want them anymore!
"Quill, let's go home!" Leng Ruoxue said with her pink lips after watching Liu Yan, Elder Qiu, and the others leave.
A moment later, Quill descended in the garden of the general's mansion.
"Old Master, Miss, and Young Master are back!" a servant shouted excitedly when he saw them.
"Old Master, Miss, Young Master." The steward hurriedly ran out of his room after hearing the shout.
"Steward, what is this?" Leng Qingtian asked in puzzlement. We've only been away for a month. Is there a need to be so excited? He had often been away for months, but they hadn't been so enthusiastic when he returned!
"Hehe, Old Master, Miss is in the limelight this time. Now, there are many more people visiting our general's mansion," the butler said excitedly, as if he was the one in the limelight.
"The people of Phoenix City found out so quickly?" The news spread really quickly. It had only been around four days.
"We've known about it for a few days. Oh right, Master, the emperor also sent people to say that he wants to hold a banquet for Miss and the others to celebrate." The butler began to report one by one.
"Grandpa, let's go back to our rooms to have a good night's sleep. Let's talk after we wake up," Leng Ruoxue reminded while glancing at the steward, who was in a hurry to report. They hadn't had a good rest for the past three days.
"Xue'er is right. Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest!" Leng Qingtian waved his hand, displaying his prestige as a general.
After hearing what Leng Qingtian said, everyone returned to their rooms. Even Freak was very obedient and didn't pester Xue'er to chat with him.
"Steward, let's go to my study!" Leng Qingtian said to the stunned steward.
"Old Master, you should go back to your room to rest first. These are trivial matters. There's no hurry," the steward said awkwardly.
Leng Qingtian glared at the steward imperiously. No hurry? No hurry, and yet you reported in the garden? Then he turned and walked to his room.
…
After Leng Ruoxue and the others had a good night's sleep, it was already afternoon the next day when she woke up.
Leng Ruoxue got up, washed up, and left her room.
"Grandpa." Leng Ruoxue walked into the study. Only her grandfather and the steward were here.
