At dusk, Chen Mobai woke up from a deep sleep.

He was lying on his bed in his cave dwelling, enjoying the rest he hadn’t had in a long time, and mustered the energy to sit up.

Today’s two duels, because of Kong Feichen’s direct withdrawal in the first round, led to Chen Mobai and Yan Feng going on stage ahead of time.

However, both of them were quick fighters. Their duel lasted less than fifteen minutes, and the winner was decided within four slashes of their swords.

After the magical duel, even though Chen Mobai was more exhausted and Yan Feng could still stand, the latter left the platform. The ultimate victory belonged to the former.

While he was being lifted up by the students of his academy in a wild celebration, Ning Anning smiled and came over to help him adjust his qi and meridians, also asking if he was interested in studying at the Imperial Medical Academy.

Chen Mobai did not know how to respond and passed out due to the fatigue of his body.

When he woke up, it was now.

He wasn’t sure who had brought him back to his cave dwelling.

Chen Mobai turned his head and picked up his mobile phone on the edge of his bed, discovering that there were dozens of missed calls and hundreds of unread messages.

He glanced at them, first called his parents back, then sent a group text message to the relatives who saw his match on TV.

He said he would work hard for the upcoming finals, so he wouldn’t be able to return their calls.

Finally, Chen Mobai read the text from Qing Nu and naturally dialed her number.

“Hello.”

“Thank you for your concern, I’m fine.”

The familiar clear voice sounded, and Chen Mobai responded gently.

“Are you free right now?”

Qing Nu suddenly asked, Chen Mobai was a bit confused, but still nodded.

“I am in my own cave dwelling, are you still at the Cinnabarite Institute?”

“Yes, which dormitory building are you in? I’ll come to find you.”

Chen Mobai put down his phone and sent his location to Qing Nu.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, Qing Nu, disguised with a mask and cap, smiled and waved at him.

“Congratulations on making it to the finals.”

“Thank you.”

Chen Mobai paused, then asked another question.

“Are you coming in for a while? Or shall we go out for a walk?”

“I think I’ll come in and sit down. After all, you’re still quite weak.”

Chen Mobai did not completely agree with this statement, but sensing the unprecedented emptiness in his Qi Sea, he reluctantly opened the door to let Qing Nu in.

“Here, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? This is the dinner I brought for you.”

As Qing Nu entered, she put two boxes of small buns she carried in her hand on the table inside the cave dwelling.

Chen Mobai was indeed a little hungry and didn’t hesitate to dig in.

“Speak, what are you here for?”

“I was with Little Dust and Little Scenery earlier, trying to persuade Little Scenery to withdraw from the finals.”

“What!”

Chen Mobai, who was enjoying his meal, choked on this sentence and sprayed out.

“What’s going on? I’m looking forward to winning the championship under the watchful eyes of the public, aren’t I?”

Even though he had exhausted the biggest card, the Burning Flame Triple Sword Talisman, Kong Feichen and Yang Jing were both students from a Taoist public high school. They were unlike Yan Feng who was from an old and wealthy family and could not have such an overwhelming item like the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman.

In a normal battle, Chen Mobai felt that he had a 51% chance of defeating Kong Feichen. Against Yang Jing, not taking into account the unknown Forbidden Technique, he should have a 65% chance of winning.

“Your battle with Yan Feng was too fierce. Even if you could recover your spiritual power in three days, you wouldn’t be able to compensate for the loss of your qi, blood, and essence.”

Qing Nu was an alchemist. Medicine and alchemy go hand in hand. She was well-aware of Chen Mobai’s physical condition.

“Even so, I should be able to beat Yang Jing.”

Chen Mobai said calmly, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Qing Nu with a puzzled look.

What was her relationship with Kong Feichen and Yang Jing?

The latter two seemed to call her “sister”?

Even if she was their sister, why could she make them give up the chance to enter the Taoist Academy?

Moreover, the relationship between Kong Feichen and Yang Jing seemed abnormal. Under these circumstances, how could they simply concede defeat because of the latter’s caprice, giving up the opportunity to ascend to heaven? There were too many doubts in his heart.

Chen Mobai did not ask.

He trusted Qing Nu.

So he waited for Qing Nu to reveal it herself.

“We grew up in the same orphanage. I am older than both of them so they call me sister.”

“They were adopted by two cultivator families in Red Sandstone City that could not have children. But we always kept in touch. We three are not actual siblings, but we are closer than actual ones.”

“So, when Yang Jing decided to go to the finals, Kong Feichen agreed because it’s the first time that Yang Jing had a say in something in many years.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai widened his eyes in disbelief.

“What kind of orphanage could take in two Different Spiritual Root children, and you, a Heavenly Spiritual Root child!”

Qing Nu did not hide anything. It was an orphanage established by the official Taoist sect in Red Sandstone City, located in the eastern part of the city.

Chen Mobai looked it up on the map, and it was indeed there.

“Perhaps it was a coincidence. All three of us have good Spiritual Root Talents.”

As for Qing Nu’s explanation, Chen Mobai could only take it as it was for now.

“Later, the family that adopted Yang Jing, after learning about her Dark Spiritual Root, found a Forbidden Technique for her to cultivate. At the age of 14, this matter was discovered by law enforcement. Her adoptive parents were incarcerated.”

“As Yang Jing was also a victim, and because she had already mastered the Forbidden Technique and could no longer abandon it, the Taoist sect allowed her to return to society after conferring her as a magical cultivator, to go to school and grow up.”

“But Forbidden Techniques are still Forbidden Techniques. To prevent her from being possessed in the future, the law enforcement department of the Taoist sect put an electronic bracelet on her wrist. Apart from monitoring her mental status, it also tracks her location at all times.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned. He felt that things probably weren’t so simple.

“So why did you try to persuade her to forfeit the finals?”

Upon hearing this, Qing Nu lifted her slender and smooth fingers, breaking them one by one to list the reasons.

“Firstly, your strength is too strong. If Little Scenery wants to beat you, she will definitely have to use the Forbidden Technique. But every time she uses her Twofold Divine Technique, it brings her a step closer to death. I don’t want her to use it.”

“Secondly, after she started cultivating the Forbidden Technique, the best place for her to go is the Imperial Medical Academy. I and Little Dust hope that she can study medicine, hopefully to find a way to stop cultivating the Forbidden Technique. The reason why I chose the Jumang Daoist Academy is because I want to find a cure for her from medicine. With Little Scenery’s current results, as long as she is willing, it’s absolutely not a problem to go to the Imperial Medical Academy. There’s really no need for her to have a fierce battle with you.”

“Thirdly, which is also the last reason.”

At this point, Qing Nu raised her head and looked straight into Chen Mobai’s eyes.

“I hope that you can go to the Academy!”
