In the evening, Chen Mobai woke up from a deep sleep.

He was lying in his own bed in his cave dwelling, enjoying a rest he hadn’t had in a long time, and he lifted his body up.

Today’s two rounds of duels, due to Kong Feichen’s direct forfeit in the first round, allowed Chen Mobai and Yan Feng to take the stage early.

However, both of them were swift swordsmen. They were on stage for less than fifteen minutes, and the winner was decided among the four swords.

After the duel, although Chen Mobai was weaker and Yan Feng could still stand, the latter had already left the arena, and the final victory belonged to the former.

When he was being celebrated wildly by his fellow students, Ning Anning came over with a smile to help him regulate his Qi and meridians, and asked if he was interested in studying at the Medical Palace.

Chen Mobai didn’t know how to respond, and he passed out due to exhaustion.

When he woke up, it was now.

He didn’t know who had brought him here.

Chen Mobai turned his head and picked up his phone from the bedside, finding dozens of missed calls and hundreds of unread messages.

He looked at them, first called back his parents, then sent a group message to his relatives who had seen his heroic figure on TV.

He said he would work hard for the upcoming finals and wouldn’t return their calls.

Finally, Chen Mobai read Qing Nv’s greeting message, and then naturally dialed her number.

“Hello.”

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

A familiar clear voice came, and Chen Mobai responded gently.

“Are you free?”

Qing Nv suddenly asked, Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled, but still nodded.

“I’m in my cave dwelling, are you still at Danzhu Academy?”

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

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

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

Opening the door, Qing Nv, disguised with a mask and hat, squinted her eyes and waved at him with a smile.

“Congratulations on making it to the finals.”

“Thank you.”

Chen Mobai thought for a moment, then asked another question.

“Do you want to come in and sit, or shall we go out for a walk?”

“I’ll come in and sit, after all, you’re still weak.”

Chen Mobai didn’t quite agree with this statement, but feeling the unprecedented emptiness in his Dantian Qi Sea, he could only reluctantly open the door and let Qing Nv in.

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

After Qing Nv came in, she put the two boxes of small buns she was carrying on the table in the cave dwelling.

Chen Mobai was indeed a bit hungry, so he opened them and started eating without any hesitation.

“So, what’s up?”

“I was with Xiao Chen and Xiao Jing before, trying to persuade Xiao Jing to forfeit the finals.”

“Pfft!”

Chen Mobai, who was eating happily, sprayed out his food when he heard this.

“What’s going on? I was looking forward to winning the championship in front of everyone.”

Although his biggest trump card, the Red Flame Three Swords Talisman, was used up, both Kong Feichen and Yang Jing were students of the Immortal Gate Public High School, unlike Yan Feng, who came from a wealthy family with a distant heritage, they couldn’t possibly have such a heaven-defying treasure as the “Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman”.

In a normal duel, Chen Mobai felt that he had a 51% chance of winning against Kong Feichen.

Against Yang Jing, without considering the unknown forbidden technique, he should have a 65% chance of winning.

“Your battle with Yan Feng was too fierce. Even if you can recover your spiritual power in three days, the deficit of your Qi, blood, and essence can’t be made up.”

Qing Nv was an alchemist, and medicine and alchemy were inseparable. She was very clear about Chen Mobai’s physical condition.

“Even so, I can still beat Yang Jing.”

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

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 opportunity to enter the Four Great Daoist Academies?

Also, the relationship between Kong Feichen and Yang Jing was not quite normal. Under such circumstances, how could they give up the opportunity to reach the sky in one step just because of the latter’s capricious words?

There were too many doubts in his heart.

Chen Mobai didn’t ask.

He trusted Qing Nv.

So he was waiting for Qing Nv to take the initiative to speak.

“We grew up in the same orphanage. I’m older than them, so they call me sister.”

“They were adopted by two cultivator families in Danxia City who couldn’t have children when they were young, but we’ve always been in touch. Although we three are not biological siblings, we are closer than real ones.”

“So, Yang Jing wants to go to the finals, and Kong Feichen is willing to let him, because this is the first time in many years that Yang Jing has made his own decision.”Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“What kind of orphanage could possibly take in someone with your heavenly spiritual root, and their two different spiritual roots!”

Qing Nv didn’t hide anything, it was an orphanage established by the official Immortal Gate in Danxia City, located in the east of the city.

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

“It might be a coincidence, all three of us have decent spiritual root talents.”

Chen Mobai could only tentatively believe Qing Nv’s explanation.

“Later, the family that adopted Yang Jing, after learning about her dark spiritual root, somehow found a forbidden technique for her to cultivate. When she was fourteen, this was discovered by the law enforcement department, and her adoptive parents were imprisoned.”

“Since Yang Jing was also a victim, and by that time the forbidden technique had already been cultivated and could not be abandoned, the Immortal Gate allowed her to return to society and continue her education after her coronation.”

“But after all, a forbidden technique is a forbidden technique. To prevent her from going astray in the future, the Immortal Gate law enforcement department put an electronic bracelet on her wrist, which not only monitored her mental state but also her location at all times.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai furrowed his brows, feeling that things couldn’t be that simple.

“Why did you persuade her to forfeit during the finals then?”

After hearing this, Qing Nv raised her slender and fair fingers, explaining the reasons one by one.

“First, your strength is too strong. If Xiao Jing wants to defeat you, she must use the forbidden technique. But her bifurcated divine technique, every time she uses it, it brings her one step closer to death, and I don’t want her to use it.”

“Second, after cultivating the forbidden technique, the best place for her is the Medical Palace. Xiao Chen and I both hope that she can study medicine, and hopefully find a way to stop the cultivation of the forbidden technique. The reason I chose to go to the Sentence Mang Dao Institute is also because I want to find a cure for her from the elixirs. With Xiao Jing’s current achievements, as long as she is willing, there is no problem going to the Medical Palace, there is absolutely no need for her to fight fiercely with you.”

“Third, and the final reason.”

At this point, Qing Nv looked up, meeting Chen Mobai’s gaze.

“I want you to go to the Dao Institute!”
