As for Zhu Yanyi and the others, they spent their time on the flying boat eating snacks and chatting about gossip. Zhu Yanyi asked everyone who wanted the captured boats. Whoever wanted one could take it. If no one wanted them, she would send them to the Paipai Hall.
For some reason, Zhu Yanyi felt this matter was connected to the Paipai Hall.
There were six flying boats in total, surrounding them on all sides. Such a grand gesture required significant wealth.
Although these items now belonged to Zhu Yanyi’s group, she did not want them. She disliked using things that others had used. If she needed a boat, she would buy her own.
Cui Chang’an, likely due to his Elven heritage, also had cleanliness issues and refused to take one.
However, Jian Feiyan took one boat. Yue Zhuo took another. Shi Chengchen, Niu Wulang, and Yang Ruochen each took one. The last boat was taken by Elder Wu. They also divided the spirit stones and other items looted from the defeated enemies. Thus, the robbery ended successfully.
Zhu Yanyi truly did not care about these things and took nothing.
After the group left happily, Yan Aohan emerged from mid-air. He was very satisfied that his wife had not touched the dirty belongings of those lowly people.
Since he had kept himself clean, Yan Aohan felt he should give them a chance. he created an illusion for nearby people to discover.
When others arrived, they saw the men in an ambiguous, embracing pose. Most importantly, they were all naked and sleeping soundly.
Various rumors spread. Some said they were exhausted from vigorous activity and needed sleep. Others claimed they were committing collective suicide.
By the time Zhu Yanyi and the others arrived at the Shangmo Academy, the rumors had already reached the academy.
The teacher responsible for reception at Shangmo Academy was an elder surnamed Ruan.
"Medical Elder, Martial Elder, welcome, welcome." Elder Ruan greeted them as the Medical Elder and Martial Elder led their students off the flying boat.
The Medical Elder waited until all students had disembarked and stored the flying boat before facing Elder Ruan. "Elder Ruan, long time no see. You look younger recently."
"I had a sudden enlightenment some time ago, so my cultivation deepened. That is why I look more energetic," Elder Ruan said proudly.
"Congratulations, Elder Ruan," the Medical Elder laughed. "Our Dean recently broke through to the Moving Void stage. He looks younger too. I even told him he is pretending to be young."
This implied that Elder Ruan was also pretending to be young. Although Elder Ruan understood the hint, the Medical Elder had not named him directly, referring instead to their own Dean. Thus, Elder Ruan could not complain and could only laugh. "Medical Elder, you really love to joke."
She paused and continued, "We have prepared the Lan Garden as the rest area for the Sage Academy. Please follow me, Medical Elder."
"Thank you for your trouble," the Medical Elder said with a smile.
Under Elder Ruan’s guidance, the Medical Elder and Martial Elder led everyone into the Lan Garden.
The rooms in the Lan Garden were for two people. Among the group, there were five girls, so one would have a single room. Originally, Jian Feiyan was assigned a single room, but she wanted to stay with Yue Zhuo. Mi Xiao had also agreed to stay with Cui Chang’an. Therefore, Zhu Yanyi ended up with a single room.
Zhu Yanyi liked this arrangement. A single room offered more privacy. With enough time, she could enter her Ruyi Space to cultivate.
"Everyone can rest today. For the next two days, you are free to move around. The environment around Shangmo Academy is quite nice," Elder Ruan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Elder Ruan," they replied politely.
After seeing off Elder Ruan, the Medical Elder said to the group, "Alright, go rest. Rest well today. Tomorrow, Martial Elder and I will take you to visit nearby places."
Although they did not feel tired from the flying boat journey, they still wanted to rest. Without hesitation, everyone returned to their rooms and rested.
Zhu Yanyi rested for a while. Once she confirmed no one was watching, she entered her space to take a bath. She ate some fruit, rested in the space, and refined pills for a while before coming out. She then returned to her room to truly rest.
Zhu Yanyi was good at self-regulation, which related to her Dao. As she said, it was better to follow one’s heart. In fact, she lived this way. She slept when she could rest, and stayed awake when she could not.
Balancing work and rest was the most important thing.
Zhu Yanyi lay down and slept well.
The next morning, she woke up to the sound of Jian Feiyan calling outside. Zhu Yanyi went out and found that the Medical Elder was taking them for breakfast.
At their level, they did not actually need to eat. However, they liked to live like ordinary people, eating and playing as usual. Since it was breakfast time, they naturally arranged to eat breakfast.
"Medical Elder, you woke everyone up so hurriedly. Can we eat something special here?" Mi Xiao asked curiously. As a food lover, Mi Xiao was very enthusiastic about eating.
"Yes," the Medical Elder said after everyone gathered. "Come, I will take you to eat a local specialty."
"What is it?" Mi Xiao really wanted to know the details.
The Medical Elder smiled and said, "There is a very delicious type of bun here, and a soup that feels very comfortable to eat. When I first came here, I ate there."
The shop the Medical Elder mentioned was very remote. They had to turn several corners to find it. The shop was not large. Perhaps because they arrived at a specific time, there were not many customers.
After everyone sat down, the Medical Elder introduced the food. "The specialty here is a soup called Sour and Spicy Soup. Although it tastes sour and spicy, it is brewed with thirty or forty types of medicinal herbs. It is actually a comprehensive medicinal diet soup. The soup-filled buns here are also good."
Everyone started ordering. Since it was a public expense, no one was polite.
Of course, everyone ordered one portion of the Sour and Spicy Soup, which the Medical Elder highly recommended. For other items, they ordered individually. Some ordered soup-filled buns, others ordered fried dough sticks.
Zhu Yanyi ordered sesame balls. However, these were finger-sized sesame balls, small enough to eat in one bite. Therefore, she ordered a bowl, which contained about twenty of them.
