Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 115 - Interest From An Old Man

Although Bai Rouyun found it quite adorable to see Little Chu so defensive about the pills, she said nothing to embarrass him. Her heart also ached slightly when thinking about how they were the same kind of people.

However, while they were the same kind of people, there was a big difference. Bai Rouyun did not feel alone any longer, as Li Moyun was on her side and pampered her, but Little Chu was nothing more than a subordinate. While Li Moyun cared about his life and death, he would not show him tenderness.

However, Li Moyun had been with Bai Rouyun for a long time already, and she truly regarded him as an older brother. Although she was a reborn immortal who had reached a higher rank than he was at now, and although his age was similar to hers when she was alive in her past life, she still felt as if he was an older brother.

He wanted to protect her, and he always went out of his way to ensure that she was safe. In the beginning, she knew that he did it solely because he was ordered to, but now she could now feel his goodwill towards her.

She smiled and shook her head as she saw Little Chu entering the room, and then she went towards the outside, heading back to the Institute.

Her strength had reached the Heaven Tier, and she had to do some training on the dummies to grasp her new strength fully.

The higher one’s strength became, the most obvious it was that one needed to adjust to their newfound strength.

If one did not have full control of one’s power levels, then it would be hard to fight in the future. If one did not know one’s limits, then it would be impossible to fight a clean battle.

She had not been at the Acquired Realm for a very long time, and she was aware that it was time for her to sense her limits. Thus she went straight for the training grounds.

This time she was not alone at the training grounds. She found that there were a myriad of students, all training on the dummies or sparring in the fields.

She could not help but frown. When so many were present, then it would be hard to find an unused dummy and test her strength. Not to mention, she never liked the feeling of displaying her entire strength for others to see. In case of emergencies, she preferred to keep some trump cards up her sleeves.

She turned around as she looked at the bustling training grounds, and went towards the classroom assigned to Class Twenty.

There was no one in the classroom, apart from the old teacher. The others had finally understood that there was no purpose in staying in the class and stare at a man who was uninterested in teaching them, but this was not to her advantage either.

Bai Rouyun had planned to find a sparring partner, but no one was present, so there was no one she could spar with.

She was not so silly that she thought that the teacher would teach her anything or spar with her, so she completely ignored him while her eyes swept over the empty classroom.

The teacher was surprised to see that she had come back, but upon noticing the classroom empty, she had instantly turned around, not even bothered to greet him.

The teacher was not upset when he noticed this; instead a gleeful smile appeared on his lips. This lass’s personality was precisely to his liking.

She was not humble nor arrogant. She considered her options before she acted, but she was not overly cautious either. She was stubborn about her decisions, and her eyes were clear and pure, not tainted by the greed of humans.

He had also felt that since he saw her the last time, she had broken through to a higher tier, so her talent had to be quite outstanding too. He just did not understand why, with such a talent, was she not at the Innate Realm already?

He did not know her identity, in fact, he was unsure what her name was, but now he felt like doing some digging and figure out who she was.

Bai Rouyun was entirely unaware that she had caught the attention of the teacher. If she had known, she would have been quite displeased. She wanted to be low-key and go unnoticed as much as possible so that she could train in peace.

While she was in the lowest class, it was the best protection for her. It was true that she did not get any monthly points from the academy, which could be used for training, but points were easy to get for her through missions, so it was the best solution.

Hiding in the lowest grade, no one would look at her, but she would still be able to use the Institute’s facilities.

There was no actual reason for her to be cautious and want to be low-key. It was just an old habit from when she was an independant cultivator. Back then, she had to hide from both the righteous and the evil factions, but now she was part of the Eternal Shadow Palace.

She was no longer fighting alone, and she could hold her head up high. It was just that a life alone had caused her to develop some habits that she could not easily hide, and as such, she planned on being as low-key as possible.

Just as she returned to the training grounds, in the hope of finding a sparring partner, she found that the majority of the students were gathered together to discuss a topic that made her lips twitch.

The reason everyone was so excited was because of the news that the Marrow-Cleansing Pill had been sent to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion for auction.
