    It was this serious yet foolish expression that made Gu Lingzhi unable to reject him every time.


    Gu Lingzhi could only hold in herughter as she saw Yan Liang’s serious face, and epted his praise, “Thank you...”


    “You’re wee.” Yan Liang’s response was as serious as his expression.


    Lu Feng silently covered his face; he had lost all hope in Yan Liang.


    Fortunately, Gu Lingzhi was saved from this stiff and awkward dialogue by Rong Yuan, who interjected in an unkind tone, “Why have all of youe again?”


    He had obviously hired some people to secretly block these two people froming, how were they still able toe here? It looks like he has to change the team of guards assigned to stopping those two people.


    In one corner of the Royal School, three Martial Artists who were unaware of their jobs being threatened, wore depressed faces as they were held up over ten Martial Artists who were of simr cultivation levels. In their hearts, they spurned Yan Liang for being overly cautious despite being the son of a Demigod General. He actually hired over ten guards to protect him and let them fight when he detected something abnormal, while he himself left.


    As though he felt the grievances of the three Martial Artists, Yan Liang’s heart was filled with happiness as he drank the tea given by Gu Lingzhi. He wondered if the Third Prince’s men had been taught a good lesson by his hired guards.


    He was inflexible and slow regarding his emotions, but it did not mean that his intellect was bad. He had long guessed that the Third Prince would take action once he had enough of Yan Liang’s daily visits. He had requested for a few secret guards from his father and within two days, they were already put to good use. A general’s son could not follow in his father’s footsteps with just brute strength. It was a basic requirement to be a general to understand the enemy and strike first.


    Completely unaware that Yan Liang had already ssified Rong Yuan as an enemy in his heart and was utilising war tactics to analyse his actions, Rong Yuan decided that next time, he must find an excuse to get Gu Lingzhi to stay behind after ss.


    Just as he thought so, another visitor arrived at Gu Lingzhi’s dormitory. Su Nian stepped into the hall with a face as bright as sunshine. He first looked warily at Rong Yuan and the others, then approached Gu Lingzhi to deliver a lunchbox.


    “I heard you like to eat sour food, so I specially made this jujube cake for you. Try it and see if you like it.”


    “Thank you... Since everyone is here, let’s all try it together.” Gu Lingzhi hesitated for a moment, then epted the lunchbox. She took out the cake and ced it on the table.


    She had learned from her previous experiences that even if she rejected Su Nian’s gifts, he would stille up with various ways to get her to ept it. In that case, she might as well ept his gift now and share it while there were so many people present.


    Rong Yuan secretly struck a ck mark against Di Huan. If it was not for him going crazy and sending food over every day, Su Nian would not have thought of using food to get Gu Lingzhi’s affection. Although, he was quite pleased that the food would mostly be going into their stomachs instead.


    Gu Lingzhi hardened her heart and ignored the hurt expression in Su Nian’s eyes. She poured another two cups of tea and quickly found an excuse to leave the room.


    She looked at the people fighting in the hall and decisively jumped out of her opened window.


    Since they liked her dormitory so much, then she would let them continue to enjoy it.


    Gu Lingzhi took delight in this prank of hers as she used the same old method of going to the Alchemy Tower to switch her identity. When she emerged again, she had already turned into ck Thorn.


    During this period of time, she had been surrounded by those few stubborn pursuers of hers and did not have the time to go to the Town of the Brave. She also did not know if any opponents who could make her eyes light up had appeared.


    In the Town of the Brave, Ye Fei and Tianfeng Jin were delighted to see the ck Thorn.


    “What a pity, Gu Lingzhi did note today. The two of you really don’t have affinity with each other. Every time, either she doesn’t have the time, or you can’te because you have something on. We have already known each other for a few months, yet we can’t find an opportunity for the two of you to get to know each other. What a joke.”


    “Yes, I think so too.” Gu Lingzhiughed. Her eyes twitched underneath her mask. The real joke would be if she could really make the ck Thorn and Gu Lingzhi appear at the same time.


    “Oh right, this is the Spirit Cleansing Pill that I refined over the past few days by following a pill recipe passed down from my ancestors. It’s for all of you,” Gu Lingzhi took out a jade bottle from her Storage Ring. It contained four Spirit Cleansing Pills that had better effects than the Yuli Snow Lotus. They were refined with the Palm Lotus as the main ingredient, in addition to several other medicinal herbs that were difficult to acquire.


    “Spirit Cleansing Pill? The Spiritual Medicine that cleanses your Spiritual Roots?” Ye Fei asked as she epted the jade bottle. She opened the bottle and sniffed. Instantly, she felt such an intense refreshing feeling that her mind nked out.


    “What was this Spirit Cleansing Pill refined with? Its purification effects are extraordinary!” Ye Fei eximed. She greedily inhaled a few mouthfuls of the medicinal fragrance before passing the jade bottle over to a doubtful looking Tianfeng Jin, “Tianfeng Jin, quickly smell it. This medicine is amazing. Just by smelling it a few times, I can sense that my Spiritual Roots are already purer than before. If we really consumed this, I am sure that its effects are better than the Yuli Snow Lotus.”


    Shocked, Tianfeng Jin looked at the jade bottle more seriously.


    With Ye Fei’s status, her words wereparable to the evaluations of Jianbao Pavillion. If she said that the pill’s effects would not lose to the efficacy of the Yuli Snow Lotus, then it was at least eighty percent true.


    Tianfeng Jin carefully sniffed the jade bottle. A refreshing fragrance that cannot be described assaulted her and invigorated her spirit. Her Spiritual Roots also felt refreshed, as though that had been cleansed.


    “This is...” Tianfeng Jin was astonished.


    Ye Fei looked at Gu Lingzhi with the same look of astonishment. With the Ye Family’s influence in business, they had never even heard of the appearance of such a pill. This good friend of theirs who had appeared from nowhere, had way too many secrets on her.


    Exquisite Martial Skills, cultivation talent that surpassed normal people, overly weird Weapon Forging techniques, and now, a mysterious Spiritual Medicine that had never appeared before... the ck Thorn’s existence was simply subverting all of their preconceived notions of the world!


    “It is not suitable to talk here. Let’s find a safer ce before talking.” Gu Lingzhi nced around and noticed that Ye Fei’s surprised exmations earlier had attracted the attention of passers-by.


    “Of course! Shall we head to a nearby branch of the Ye Store? It is safe there.”


    Ye Fei quickly led the way, she was afraid that Gu Lingzhi would regret her decision. If Gu Lingzhi did not have a good understanding of Ye Fei’s character, she would be suspicious that Ye Fei was thinking of bringing her somewhere to kill her and snatch her treasures.


    The Ye n’s branch store here was the Jubao Pavillion. In the bottom right corner of its signboard, was the symbol of a leaf that represented that Ye n.


    Ye Rong had already retired many years ago and he had since detached himself from mundane matters. Hearing that Ye Fei was bringing some friends over, he decided to make a rare appearance. However, he never expected that this impulsive decision of his would give him such a surprise.
