However, some inner disciples who made mistakes were punished to work at the ruins, but they all came back yesterday because of the general amnesty.
Regarding the information about Tiangui Sect, everyone in Tiangui City actually knows more or less about it. However, Ruan Li has never been to the ruins at the foot of the mountain, so he doesn't know who the old friend mentioned by the master is.
Now that her spiritual roots have been awakened, she has never neglected the tasks assigned to her by her master every day. Cleaning the yard and getting the morning spiritual meal for her master are still things she has to do every day.
But there is one more thing today, that is, she is going to report to Elder Wanqiu of Haiyuetang and start receiving teachings.
Ruan Li was flattered that he would be taught by all the elders, including the headmaster, but he also happily accepted it.
She awakened her spiritual roots much later than others, so she needed to catch up the most. Even though Fangze said that she could quickly surpass others even if she didn't work hard, she didn't want to slack off because of her talent.
Haiyuetang is a fiery red building. Because of its large number of disciples, it is much larger than Shennongtang.
Ge Qiu, the eldest disciple in the hall, had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Ruan Li's figure, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Junior sister Ruan Li, master asked me to pick you up at the door and take you to the inner courtyard." Ge Qiu said directly.
Ruan Li nodded: "Brother, please lead the way!"
Entering the gate of Haiyuetang, many disciples were practicing in the front yard, and the entire courtyard seemed to be wrapped in a thermal film. I heard that disciples with fire spiritual roots account for one-third of the total number of people in Haiyue Hall, so the body feels like this all year round in Haiyue Hall. Even on a cold winter day with flying snow, not even a single snowflake can be left in the courtyard. It has already become gas when it encounters heat in the air.
"Junior sister Ruan Li, why are you here at Haiyue Hall?"
In the courtyard, a senior brother took the initiative to greet her.
The other people's attention was naturally on her.
Ruan Li smiled indifferently and only responded: "Master asked me to learn some skills from Master Wan!"
"Why don't you come to our Haiyue Hall? It's too hard for you to be jolted like this!"
"No! We only have two female disciples in the hall, so we have a lot of free time on weekdays. I just leave the work to the senior brothers. You just have to practice hard!"
"That's right, come to our Haiyue Hall!"
Although everyone said it with a smile, their tone was very serious. If a talent like Ruan Li could enter Haiyuetang, they would be honored.
Ruan Li knew they had good intentions, so he just smiled and said nothing.
"Ruan Li!"
At this time, Mu Jinyang came after hearing the news, which made Ruan Li slightly stunned.
She had forgotten that Mu Jinyang was Master Wanqiu's disciple.
His spiritual roots of wood and earth are both of the Yin attribute, so he actually became a disciple of Uncle Wan.
"Senior Brother Jinyang!" Ruan Li greeted warmly, because every time he saw Mu Jinyang he seemed to have endless energy, and you could be infected just by looking at the smile on his face.
Seeing Ge Qiu leading the way, Mu Jinyang calmed down for a rare moment and said seriously: "Brother, I just want to say a few words."
Ge Qiu nodded, and subconsciously took two steps back to give the two of them space to whisper.
But there was nothing to hide about this matter, so Mu Jinyang directly told Ruan Li: "I have asked all the new disciples of our Haiyue Hall, and there is no one you are looking for. Yesterday I... Senior Brother Jinyan also said yesterday that they Guangyao Hall doesn’t have the person you’re looking for either.”
"Ruan Heng is not awake yet. When he wakes up, ask him about the situation of Xuanjing Hall. If there is none, then only Iris Hall is left!"
There is only one new disciple in Shennong Hall, Ruan Li, so there must be no one she is looking for.
The range was suddenly reduced by half, and Ruan Li looked slightly solemn.
Don't let that savior really die.
Mu Jinyang seemed to see her worries and couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't think too badly about things. Even if this person fails the test, he will probably come down the mountain alive."
Ruan Li nodded, but if he could not find this person, all the remaining guesses would be meaningless.
After Ruan Li left the front yard with Ge Qiu, the others swarmed forward and surrounded Mu Jinyang.
"You brat, we all forgot that it was you who helped Ruan Li complete the trial!"
"No wonder the relationship is so good!"
"Tell me, did you already know that she has a seventh-level spiritual root?"
"Go and persuade her to come to our Haiyue Hall? Then our hall will go sideways in the future? Maybe everyone will follow suit and get more pills from Shennong Hall!"
These people kept asking questions, but Mu Jinyang just smiled and did not respond.
As a result, someone changed the topic and asked loudly: "You are so concerned about Junior Sister Ruan Li, don't you like her?"
"Huh? What's wrong with this?"
"Hey! If there is an immortal couple with a seventh-level spiritual root, you will take off too!"
Mu Jinyang, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke when he heard this, with a particularly serious expression, emphasizing every word: "Don't try to ruin someone's innocence. Junior Sister Ruan Li and I are just friends, and we don't have the things you said."
"If you talk nonsense, it will affect Junior Sister Ruan Li's practice, and the master uncle will drive you all to farm at the foot of the mountain!"
Seeing Mu Jinyang, who usually never blushed, seemed to be really angry. Everyone stopped talking and stopped teasing him.
"It's a joke, don't take it seriously!"
"That's right, are you really angry with us?"
"But it's true that you are asked to persuade her. If you can handle this matter, the master will have to give you up!"
Mu Jinyang struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, saying "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you" and ran away.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh loudly when they looked at his hurried back.
But there was only one person who couldn't get into such a noisy and cheerful scene.
In the corner, Huo Ji, who had been exempted from punishment in advance because of Ruan Li's glory, sat there silently.
He had seen everything just now. Ever since he returned to Haiyue Hall, his fellow apprentices had been laughing at him, and whenever they saw him they would mention what happened that day.
His ordinary mind was still awake, so he was anxious and uneasy because of this matter, and almost made mistakes during practice.
His fists were slightly clenched. Instead of feeling any regret for what had happened before, he turned his previous disdain for Ruan Li into resentment, hating her for causing today's situation.
Born into the Huo family of the seven major families, Huo Ji naturally has a self-esteem that cannot be trampled upon.
One day, he will definitely vent his anger on himself.
In the backyard, Ge Qiu dropped Ruan Li off and left on his own.
The huge courtyard was a bit empty, with only a hundred-year-old fire-gathering cauldron standing in the courtyard. At this time, it was more than ten meters away, and the half of Ruan Li's skin facing the cauldron was already burning with pain.
The surroundings were quiet and silent, but one could vaguely see the heat waves churning in the air.
Anyone else would have hid in the shade under the eaves, but Ruan Li never moved, only because of what Senior Brother Ge Qiu said when he left: "Master asked you to stand here and wait for him!"
