Unwilling, Liu Yuyue

"Heimu nodded, 'Of course it's true.'

The smile on Xia Zhiqing's lips widened, and her bright eyes sparkled with brilliance.

She knew that Hongzhuang must have been thinking of them.

"So, as long as we meet the conditions to participate in the assessment contest, we can go together with Hongzhuang," Xia Zhiqing said.

Zhan Yunfeng's eyes lit up. Initially, they would have had to return to their respective dynasties to compete for the slots, and even if they made it to the assessment contest in the end, they might not have seen each other.

If they could participate in the assessment contest together, they would become a team.

The thought filled everyone with joy. It was incredibly convenient!

You see, each dynasty only had a few slots, and if they secured a slot, they would have to form a team with unfamiliar cultivators to participate in the assessment contest.

Regardless of the circumstances, it would take a considerable amount of time to adapt and work together.

If they encountered difficult cultivators, the problem would be even greater.

Xia Zhiqing nodded with a smile, "Yes, this is really great!"

Dongfang Yu's jade-like face also revealed a delighted smile. This was probably the best news they had received.

Although Gong Shaoqing hadn't spoken, his usually cold face softened slightly.

"If everyone doesn't have any objections, let's set off early. The assessment contest is approaching," Heimu spoke up.

It would take some time to travel from Canglan Academy to Tian Gang Sect. Since it was an order from the Young Sect Master and Madam, he had to handle it properly.

Thinking about the Young Sect Master's situation upon returning to Tian Gang Sect, he couldn't help but worry.

He had grown up with the Young Sect Master since he was young, serving as the Young Sect Master's confidential guard.

He was well aware of the situation in Tian Gang Sect. Xiaodian and Jiangdian had always been looking for faults in the Young Sect Master.

This time, when the Young Sect Master returned with his wife, he was bound to encounter many problems.

Although he wasn't the only one among the Young Sect Master's guards, he still felt worried and just wanted to return quickly.

Upon hearing Heimu's words, everyone no longer hesitated and quickly responded, "No problem, we'll set off immediately!"

Liu Qinyue stood by Gong Shaoqing's side. Even though she had known that Gong Shaoqing would leave, now that the time had come, she couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant.

At this moment, she even regretted why she hadn't chosen the path of a cultivator.

If she had chosen the path of a cultivator, she would be able to accompany Gong Shaoqing.

"Gong Shaoqing, you must work hard to secure a slot," Liu Qinyue's beautiful smile bloomed on her stunning face, but her watery eyes revealed a deep sense of reluctance.

Gong Shaoqing looked at Liu Qinyue and nodded, "I will."

"I'll be waiting for you at Canglan Academy. If you participate in the assessment contest, make sure to come back."

Liu Qinyue's hands gradually closed, and besides reluctance, worry could also be seen in her watery eyes.

Her feelings had always been evident, but Gong Shaoqing had never shown any affection towards her.

She knew that Gong Shaoqing only pitied her but didn't actually like her.

Even though she was aware of this, she didn't want to give up.

At least, there were no other women by Gong Shaoqing's side.

As long as she persisted, Gong Shaoqing might come to like her in the future.

Her only concern was that once Gong Shaoqing participated in the assessment contest, she might never see him again in the future."
