Chapter 173 - Unable to Sleep (1/2)
”Anyway, now that we have permission, I'll be staying here until the competition finishes.” Fei Yuyan said to him in a slightly angry voice, clearly unhappy about the way Yuan had handled this situation.
”By the way, I won't be here at night and will return in the morning.” Yuan suddenly said to her as she went to look for an empty room.
”What? Why not? Where are you going that requires you to stay outside all night?” Fei Yuyan asked him with raised eyebrows.
”I'm not going anywhere— I just won't be available until the morning,” Yuan said.
”Is that so? I won't need you at night, anyway,” Fei Yuyan quickly responded in a somewhat weird tone, and she left the place to look for her own room.
Sometime later, Fei Yuyan settled in the room that was only two doors away from Yuan's room.
”We will begin practice tomorrow morning at sunrise. Good night and get plenty of rest because we'll practice even harder tomorrow,” Fei Yuyan said to Yuan before retiring inside her room.
However, Fei Yuyan was unable to sleep like she normally would, as this is her first time sleeping with another individual in the same building after she became an Inner Court disciple, much less a male disciple!
In fact, this is definitely her first time staying overnight at a man's house, and she would've never imagined that it'd belong to an Outer Court disciple either!
Meanwhile, after returning to his own room, Yuan logged off for the night and waited for Yu Rou to return from school.
After dinner was served and Yu Rou brushed his teeth, Yuan proceeded to spend the rest of the night cultivating.
However, inside cultivation online, only an hour after Yuan logged off, Xuan Wuhan appeared outside of the Dragon Essence Temple with an irritated frown on her face, looking like someone who'd their peace disturbed.
”S-Senior apprentice sister Xuan! Welcome back!” The guards standing at the entrance of the sect immediately bowed to Xuan Wuhan who was not only a Core Disciple but also Grand Elder Xuan's granddaughter, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was as famous if not even more popular than Fei Yuyan.
However, Xuan Wuhan ignored these guards and walked directly into the sect.
The guards turned to look at her with scared looks on their faces, and they wondered to themselves what had happened that made her appear so angry, as they have never seen her act in such a way before.
”Welcome back from your vacation, Senior apprentice sister Xuan!”
”Greetings, Fairy Xuan!”
”How was your vacation, Senior apprentice sister Xuan? I hope you enjoyed it because you earned it!”
Almost every disciple in the Outer Court recognized Xuan Wuhan and greeted her the moment they saw her, and even if the disciples didn't recognize her face they recognized her uniform that only Core Disciples are qualified to wear, so they still greeted her with respect.
”Thanks.” Xuan Wuhan responded in a nonchalant manner before walking away with wide strides, dumbfounding these disciples.
”Did something happen to Fairy Xuan? She's usually cheerful and easy to approach, yet she's acting the total opposite today.”
”Maybe something unpleasant happened during her vacation.”
”Wait a second, I thought Fairy Xuan wouldn't return to the sect for another week? Maybe that has something to do with her behavior?”
”That must be it. I wonder if this is related to what happened not long ago at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate.”
