Zhu Yanyi turned to Qingyun and said, "Senior Brother Qingyun, you need to understand some things about this world. Here, the strong are respected. Only when we are stronger than others do we have a voice. Politeness is just a bonus when you are already strong. If you are too polite without strength, people will see you as weak. Only when you are stronger can your politeness be respected."
She did not want Qingyun to suffer here. "Senior Brother, as a registered student, the requirements aren't too high. But you must know the basics. Remember, this is a world where the strong rule. Also, time here is different from outside. Six months in the mortal realm equals one year and eight months here. During this time, you should stay with Senior Brother Tianyun. It is safer than others investigating you out of curiosity. With your abilities, staying with her ensures your safety."
The Saint Realm was the most peaceful of the five realms, including the Divine Emperor Realm. It was a great place for Qingyun to study. However, even in peace, trouble could arise. It was better for Qingyun to stay with Ouyang Tianyun for convenience.
"Okay." Qingyun did not object. She knew Zhu Yanyi and Ouyang Tianyun only wanted what was best for her. She was here to study, not to cause trouble. Listening to them would keep her safe and avoid unnecessary issues.
Sikong Xuran and Yi Yunfei had no objections either. They were all part of the Underworld now. Helping each other was natural.
After flying for a few days, they entered the Saint Academy.
On the open playground, Yan Aohan landed the flying boat. He watched Sikong Xuran and the others disembark. Zhu Yanyi was the last to leave. Before stepping down, she hugged Yan Aohan. "Husband, I will work hard. I won't waste these six years here."
Yan Aohan nodded with a smile. "Work hard. I believe in you. I will come to pick you up later. Keep it up."
"En." Zhu Yanyi nodded firmly.
Yan Aohan kissed her forehead, let go of her hand, and Zhu Yanyi waved goodbye before stepping down. Once she was on the ground, she flew away.
After Yan Aohan left, Xi Muzheng arrived upon hearing the news. Seeing Zhu Yanyi and the others, she said, "You returned just in time."
"Obviously," Zhu Yanyi snorted. "Dean, you appear quite often. Did something happen?"
Xi Muzheng huffed. "I came to welcome you. Am I not thoughtful?"
"Very thoughtful. So I brought a registered student back." Zhu Yanyi pointed at Qingyun. "My senior brother from the mortal realm, Dean. Do you see anything special?"
"Clearly a mortal, but his mental power is much stronger than average. He fits the criteria for a registered student." Xi Muzheng had good eyes.
"Of course. Would my recommendation be bad?" Zhu Yanyi smiled.
"Fine. Take him to handle the procedures first. As for accommodation…"
"Dean, he will stay with me," Ouyang Tianyun said. "He took good care of us in the mortal realm. Now that he is here, we should take care of him. Let him stay with me. It is only for one year and eight months."
Xi Muzheng nodded indifferently. "If you have no objections, he can stay with you."
She added, "By the way, Zhu Yanyi, come to my practice chamber tomorrow. I have something for you. Rest today." She waved and left.
Zhu Yanyi paused. "I feel like I was raised by a stepmother. We all got off the boat together, but why only call me? Why not the others?"
"Little Junior Sister, don't be so petty. The Dean calling you means you are capable. Leave conquering the universe and stars to you," Sikong Xuran laughed, patting her shoulder. "We just need to eat and drink."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Sikong Xuran with disdain. "Senior Brother Sikong, please don't look so gloating when you say that. Believe me, if the Dean has nothing for me tomorrow, good. If she does, I can drag you down with me."
"Cough." Sikong Xuran stepped back quickly. "Ah, I am tired from the journey. Dizzy. I will go rest. Goodbye."
She fled without another word.
"Is that running away in defeat?" Zhu Yanyi asked Ouyang Tianyun.
Ouyang Tianyun coughed. "Let's go. We should contact others. If they are in the academy, we invite them to my dorm. I will cook today."
Zhu Yanyi waved. "Okay. You contact them. I will go back first to wash up, check my plants, and visit my medicine field."
It had been a year here. She needed to check her medicine field and harvest some herbs.
After saying goodbye to Ouyang Tianyun, Zhu Yanyi returned to her residence. She washed up, tended to the plants in her yard, and then heard her communication token ring. It was Ouyang Tianyun inviting everyone to a dinner.
Zhu Yanyi tidied up, closed her yard gate, and walked leisurely toward Ouyang Tianyun's yard.
As she entered, Mi Xiao rushed over. "Fifteen, Fifteen, you are finally back."
"Senior Sister Mi Xiao, we don't use rankings anymore," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Senior Brother Sikong said it is unfair to other seniors and juniors."
"Okay. Then I will call you Junior Sister Yanyi." Mi Xiao thought seriously. "That is acceptable. What good things did you bring back from the mortal realm? Any comics? Any novels?"
