"This aura feels so familiar—like I've sensed it somewhere before?"
"Forget that for now. A mere Soul Sage dares to come and smash our recruitment venue—this is really not putting our Four Elements Academy in their eyes."
"Exactly! Do they really think our Four Elements Academy is a soft persimmon they can squeeze whenever they want?!"
For a moment, all the vice deans of the Four Elements Academy appeared.
In the next instant, when they clearly saw the newcomer's face, their expressions changed drastically.
"It's you! Qingling student—you've finally returned!"
"Qingling student, welcome back to the academy. The academy will always be your home!"
"Who would've thought that in just a few years, Qingling student, you've already grown to the level of a Soul Sage."
"You've returned this time to participate in the Continental Elite Tournament, right?"
Chen Qingling nodded slightly. "Yes, vice deans. I came back precisely to prepare for the Continental Elite Tournament."
"I wonder if there's still a slot for me?"
"Yes, of course there is!"
"How could there not be a place for you, Qingling?"
"Quick, quick—Qingling student, come down and rest properly. You must be tired after traveling thousands of miles to get back."
"Oh right, we also recruited someone who claims to be your friend."
"My friend?" Chen Qingling's expression turned puzzled. Suddenly, she thought of something, and her pupils shrank sharply.
"Is it Xiao Wu?"
Judging by the time, Xiao Wu should have already graduated from Notting Academy, right?
"Ah yes, yes, that's right—Xiao Wu."
"Xiao Wu…" A glimmer flashed in Chen Qingling's eyes.
She hadn't seen Xiao Wu for a very long time. Now that she heard her name again, she missed her deeply.
"I'll be heading off first. We'll talk later when there's time."
Before the vice deans could even respond, Chen Qingling vanished from their sight in the blink of an eye.
"Hiss… That speed is way too fast—even faster than the geniuses of the Min Clan!"
"Yeah, now I'm suddenly wondering who's more like the Min Clan."
"Normal—completely normal. Anything unreasonable, if it's Qingling student, then it's perfectly reasonable."
There was no other reason—Qingling was simply too monstrous.
Elsewhere.
After some inquiries, Chen Qingling quickly found Xiao Wu's residence.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Coming."
Xiao Wu opened the door. When she saw Chen Qingling's face, she froze completely.
After a long moment, Xiao Wu directly threw herself into Chen Qingling's arms.
"Qingling Sister!" Seeing the person she had longed for day and night, Xiao Wu's eyes instantly reddened.
She had finally met Qingling Sister—this was really not easy!
"Xiao Wu, why are you crying?" Chen Qingling cupped Xiao Wu's face and looked at her slightly reddened eyes.
"N-no, I'm not… It's just that the wind and sand were too strong."
"Alright, alright—always the same excuse. Xiao Wu, how many times do you plan to fool me?"
Chen Qingling didn't believe this crude lie of Xiao Wu's.
Maybe she would have believed it at the very beginning, but now there was no way she'd be fooled.
Xiao Wu playfully stuck out her tongue at Chen Qingling. "Hmph, hmph, hmph—Qingling Sister has changed quite a bit, huh? You already know I'm lying."
"Qingling Sister, it was really not easy to meet you even once."
"You actually had the heart to abandon me for so many years and only come to see me now."
Chen Qingling gave a dry laugh and awkwardly rubbed the tip of her nose.
"I was just so busy that I couldn't get away… Now that I'm free, I came to find you right away."
Xiao Wu crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks. "That's more like it."
"Qingling, you came for the upcoming Continental Elite Tournament, right?"
"Yeah. From your tone, Xiao Wu—are you planning to participate too?"
Xiao Wu raised her head proudly. "Of course! Why wouldn't I? My strength isn't weak at all!"
"A mere Continental Elite Tournament—I've got it completely under control."
"Alright, alright."
Chen Qingling wasn't worried at all about Xiao Wu's identity being exposed, because the Lovesick Heartbroken Red had already completely bound itself to Xiao Wu.
It was absolutely impossible for Xiao Wu's identity as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast to be exposed!
The two girls chatted casually for half an hour before Chen Qingling chose to take her leave.
She had one friend in the Four Elements Academy—and that was Shui Bing'er.
"Xiao Wu, we'll part here for now. I'm going to find another friend of mine in the academy."
"Who?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Shui Bing'er."
"Big Sister Bing'er?"
"You know her?" Chen Qingling was slightly surprised. She knew from the vice deans that Xiao Wu had only joined a few days ago—yet she already knew Shui Bing'er?
"Of course. Big Sister Bing'er recruited me."
"That's good, that's good. Alright then, I'm off to find her."
"Go on, go on."
Watching Chen Qingling's departing figure, Xiao Wu felt reluctant to part.
But when she thought about how they would have plenty of time together in the future, that reluctance instantly vanished.
Chen Qingling flapped her wings of light and arrived at Shui Bing'er's residence, just in time to see that she wasn't in her room, but instead tending to flowers and plants in the courtyard.
She watched as Shui Bing'er lifted a fresh flower and observed it carefully.
Chen Qingling's sudden appearance didn't draw her attention.
Perhaps she was too focused, so she didn't notice someone standing behind her.
"Bing'er, what are you doing?" Chen Qingling asked.
Hearing the familiar voice by her ear, Shui Bing'er's eyes moved slightly. She suddenly turned her head and saw a familiar face.
"Qingling—you're back!"
Chen Qingling narrowed her eyes and nodded, spreading her arms to hug Shui Bing'er's soft body. "Yeah, I'm back."
"Qingling… I missed you so much while you were gone. You've finally returned."
"Hehe, then can you answer the question I just asked?"
"What are you doing? Do you like growing flowers?" Chen Qingling asked, looking at the flower clenched in Shui Bing'er's hand.
"Yes. I like flowers. I want to preserve their beauty…"
"But throughout the four seasons, flowers always wither and bloom again—only a fleeting moment of splendor."
"So, Bing'er, you want to preserve the beauty of flowers, right?"
"Mm, yes."
"Isn't that simple? Under natural laws, flowers do wither and bloom again."
"But you're a soul master—an ice-type soul master at that. Could this really stump you?"
"Use your ice to freeze the flower at its most beautiful moment. As long as you keep it with you, you can preserve its beauty forever."
"Bing'er, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Shui Bing'er was momentarily stunned. She truly hadn't thought of this method before.
She had only been trying to nurture them well, attempting to hold onto their beauty, but the results were unsatisfactory.
What Qingling had just said shattered Shui Bing'er's fixed way of thinking—she had never considered it from that angle.
Just as the saying goes: the person involved is confused, while the bystander sees clearly.
"Thank you, Qingling."
Shui Bing'er activated the ice attribute of her martial soul, freezing the flower at its most beautiful moment.
Staring at the frozen flower, Shui Bing'er smiled brightly. "It really stayed. All thanks to you, Qingling, for pointing it out with a single sentence."
Chen Qingling rolled her eyes at Shui Bing'er in a charming manner. "You're still thanking me? Say thanks again and I'll get mad."
"Didn't I already say that between you and me, there's no need for thanks?"
"Alright, alright, I was wrong! Qingling, I won't dare do it again."
