Li Luo rushed straight to the small building where Guan Cai was.

  In the courtyard, there were emerald green cypresses and under them was a spacious pavilion with bamboo curtains rolled up on all sides. When Li Luo walked in, he saw Master Huichan sitting behind a low table at one side of the pavilion, holding a cup of hot tea and listening to the sound of wind chimes carried by the breeze.

  Li Luo walked over and bowed to Master Kuai Zhuo before sitting down with a smile.

  Guo Zhuang's mentor wore a black long dress, her long hair slightly damp, as if she had just bathed, with a thin veil covering her face, and a hint of laziness in her eyes.

  "Anything wrong?" asked Guan Cuilan lazily.

  "I want to ask the teacher to go through the back door, so that Xi Yang's house can attend the invitation meeting at Quanxiang Academy a few days later." Li Luo was very honest and direct, without any hesitation.

  Huang Chu's instructor couldn't help but laugh at his straightforwardness and said, "You can even walk through the back door with such a straight face?"

  Li Luo revealed a silly and honest smile: "Please help me, teacher."

  Huang Chu's slender jade hand reached into her sleeve and pulled out an object, tossing it in front of Li Luo. With a clanging sound, Li Luo looked over to see that it was a golden leaf, with a pattern engraved on its surface, seemingly the emblem of the Quanxiang Academy.

  "Here, the invitation card for the party." said Guo Zhuo casually.

  Li Luo was stunned. Is it that simple? Although he had a high probability of thinking that Huai Xiu would help, he didn't expect it to be so straightforward.

  "When the other side of the dorm decided to invite the target, I left a ticket for Xi Yang House, but didn't tell you. Because if you didn't take the initiative to ask for it, I wasn't planning on giving it to you either."

  Gu Xiang's instructor took a sip of hot tea and glanced at Li Luo: "Do you understand why?"

  Li Luo hesitated for a moment and said: "Is the teacher thinking that even if Xiyangwu participates in this invitation meeting, it doesn't have much significance?"

  "You're quite self-aware." Guo Zhen smiled slightly, and the corners of her eyes curved upwards, making her look a bit more radiant.

  "How come you're giving it to me now?" Li Luo asked in puzzlement.

  "Because you're smart and won't do anything pointless, since you understand the difficulty but haven't given up yet, that means you plan on doing something."

  "Although I don't know what you need to do to achieve your goal at the invitation meeting, since you have this ambition and confidence, as a teacher, I will still give you some support." said Huī Xiǎo.

  Li Luo's eyes welled up with tears: "Mentor, you really still love me."

  However, Guan Xian's mentor didn't react to his attitude. She tapped her slender fingers on the teacup and said, "I heard that the Academy is going to reward you with 100,000 Academy points?"

  Li Luo was taken aback, and Yu Lang that kid has already stirred up a commotion so quickly? Indeed, he is efficient.

  But he definitely couldn't admit it, shaking his head immediately and saying with righteous indignation: "No, although I made a great contribution this time, it's my duty as a member of the Sacred Austerity Academy to do so. Even if the academy doesn't give me any reward, I won't have any complaints!"

  The veil on Guan's face quivered slightly, and beneath it must be a smile of amusement. She certainly didn't believe Li Luo's words.

  "As for your reward, it should be settled in these two days. If Vice President Su seeks opinions, I'll help you out." she said.

  "You don't have to think of yourself as a lion with its mouth wide open, this time you saved the lives of over a hundred people in a stronghold, and it's not too much to say that the Academy didn't give enough recognition."

  Li Luo was so moved: "Teacher Guan, do you know my dad?"

  "Hmm?" Guo Zhen's eyes cast a puzzled gaze.

  "It seems that's not the case, I thought it was because of my old man's charm that the instructor is being so nice to me." Li Luo let out a sigh and said.

  Guo Xiang's mentor fell silent for several breaths.

  "Get out."

  A cup of hot tea turned into a scalding water arrow and shot straight at Li Luo's face.

  Li Luowu hastily retreated and acknowledged his mistake: "Mentor, I was wrong!"

  Guo Xiang glanced at this thick-skinned guy and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

  Li Luo got up, grinned foolishly at Instructor Guan, then respectfully pushed the teacup back in front of her and suddenly asked: "Instructor, do you think there's anything strange about this S-class anomaly that appeared at Outpost 13?"

  "What does it mean?" Instructor Gui's expression paused for a moment, and then her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "There's no particular meaning, it's just a simple intuition."

  Li Luo smiled: "That great calamity-level anomaly, could it be that someone intentionally let it come?"

  "Are you suspecting Shen Jinxiang?"

  "But suspicion is useless, and the Academy can't possibly investigate a Zhihui instructor just because of your little doubt. Of course, most importantly, there's nothing to be found even if they did investigate."

  "So, even if you have doubts, just suppress them in your heart for now. In the future, when you're strong enough to confront him, evidence or not won't be necessary anymore."

  Listening to the soft voice of Guan Cui, Li Luo nodded slightly. Indeed, even if he suspected Shen Jinxiu, it was useless without evidence, and the Academy couldn't investigate a Zi Hui instructor.

  In the future when he becomes powerful and has the ability to suppress Shen Jinxiang, there is no need for any evidence. It would be more appropriate to simply say that you look unhappy.

  Li Luo stood up and waved goodbye to Master Guan Zhen, then left the small building.

  In the pavilion, Master Guiying gazed at Li Luo's departing back, put down the tea cup in her hand, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.

  Shen Jinxiang, is it really you?

  ...

  Leaving Guan Yu's small building, Li Luo went straight to the dormitory building.

  Five days later, at the invitation meeting of Qu Xiangyuan, there will inevitably be many top-notch spiritual water and Qigong masters from Daxia. In this fiercely competitive situation, it is not easy for Xi Yang House to attract those excellent Qu Xiang masters from Qu Xiangyuan.

  Although he will be able to obtain the eighth-grade pure Secret Origin Water after completing this evolution, the foundation of Xi Yang House is still far inferior to those top-notch Spirit Spring and Qi Guang Houses.

  The most direct one is the difference in the formula of Ling Shui Qi Guang.

  Currently, Xi Yang House does not have a single dish that can reach four-star level.

  Those Ling Shui Qi Guang houses that can rank in the top ten of Da Xia, all hold one or several four-star formulas. When combined with their secret source water and source light, the Ling Shui Qi Guang they produce is naturally something that others can't compare to.

  So, five days later at that invitation meeting, Xi Yang House wants to make a stunning debut. If there's some other coordination added to it, then it would be perfect to the extreme.

  And what's called other things... of course is a four-star formula.

  "All I can do is go and urge Momo again, hoping she can understand my good intentions." Li Luo thought to himself as he walked into the dormitory building, but after searching around, he didn't find Bai Momo anywhere. Instead, he saw Xin Fu sitting in the shadows of the stairs, intently wiping his dagger.

  "Friend, where's Mengmeng?" Li Luo asked.

  Xin Fu raised his head and asked in surprise, "How did you find me?"

  No way! He just used Shadow Wall Technique and hid himself in the shadows, how did Li Luo see him as soon as he came? Is his Shadow Wall Technique that bad?

  "Mengmeng is in the refining room, she went straight in after coming back today." He replied simultaneously.

  "You need more practice, it seems like you still have a lot of shortcomings."

  Li Luo nodded, reminded him of something, turned and walked towards the basement, at the same time, the light in his eyes gradually faded away, and a cold smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

  His bright eyes, specializing in breaking Shadow Wall Technique!

  You little brat is always thinking of writing epitaphs for me, if I don't find something for you to do, do you think being a captain is just an empty title?!

  And behind him, Xīn Fú gazed at his back, then fell into deep self-doubt.

  Li Luo hummed a little tune as he walked to the underground refining room, and through the transparent crystal wall, he saw one of the petite figures immersed in the study of spiritual water's strange light. On the record board behind her, countless beautiful characters were already written.

  Looking at the busy girl in the refining room, Li Luo was silent for a while, and finally let out a light sigh in his heart. He didn't go to disturb her, but turned around and left.

  It seems he will have to stay up late for a few nights to study that "Rejuvenating Elixir".

  Otherwise, if others really helped him come up with a four-star formula, but he still couldn't produce medicine to treat them, that would be truly embarrassing.
