Chapter 76: 76

Early the next morning, Lou Mu Yan and the others left the cave dwelling and hurried towards the outskirts of the Glacial Mountain Range.

Along the way, they saw a vast expanse of white surrounding them. The entire forest was dressed in white, and so quiet that there weren’t even any sounds of birds.

After half a day, the snowflakes gradually fell from the sky and when it touched one’s body or face, it was so cold that it made one shudder. It even hurt.

“Everyone, use an Elemental Energy shield.” Lan Si stopped in his steps and a light green circle of light encased his entire body. The falling snowflakes slipped from the circle of light and could no longer get close to their bodies.

When other people saw this, they quickly mobilised the Elemental Energy within them, then five or six different coloured Elemental Energy circles of light lit up, forming a scenic view within the vast snowy land.

What Lou Mu Yan mobilised was the fire attribute Elemental Energy circle of light. She could comprehend all the elements of this land, but the one she was most adept in and had the deepest comprehension of was the fire Elemental Energy.

Flakes of snow drifted down petal by petal, and before it could near her, the shield of light would melt it into droplets of water that fell to the floor. This scene also fell into the eyes of many attentive people.

There were three instructors from the Imperial Family that lead the team with Lan Si, with the main lead being a person named Yun Ji. He scrutinised the mountain not far away, “This snow really came at the time wrong. Let’s go to that mountain and find a place to rest first.”

Lan Si and the rest nodded in agreement. Snowflakes such as these that were corrosive shouldn’t be allowed to make contact with the skin for long periods of time, otherwise one would be inflicted with the Cold Poison. If one wanted to resist, one needed to use their Elemental Energy circle of light shield to protect their body.

But in such a dangerous place, continuously using Elemental Energy within them not only meant that it would be quickly exhausted, but if one encountered a Demonic Beast attack, they would all be in danger.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the energy of the Elemental Energy circle of light that everyone used to resist the corrosion was constantly being strengthened. Gradually, everyone’s strength couldn’t match their desire to protect themselves. Luckily in the last two hours, they finally found a big cave on a hillside.

Lan Si and Yun I went in first to investigate, and after they came out, they called everyone in.

“This cave is very deep. We went in for a long time, but we still haven’t reached the end. We’ll rest here for now and wait for the heavy snow to recede then continue on our way. All of you, quickly replenish your elemental Energy.” Lan Si’s eyes were deep, without his usual gentle smile, and a rare look of gravity surfaced on his face.

“Yes!” After walking with the Elemental Energy shield for so long, whether it was the student’s physical strength of Elemental Energy, they were all depleted by a lot. Everyone sat down and began to absorb the Spiritual Force of Heaven and earth to replenish themselves.

Lan Si and the six other instructors left two of them to guard against emergencies at the front and the back and recovered their Elemental Energy in rotation.

After sitting down, Lou Mu Yan raised her head and looked deeply at the cave that she could see no end to, and an ominous feeling rose in her heart without warning.

She didn’t sit cross-legged like the rest to enter a state and absorb Spiritual Force to replenish her Elemental Energy, but instead directly took out the candy from Lan Si and threw them into her mouth in one breath. Then she telepathically told Lou Mu Bai to also eat the candy first to replenish their Elemental Energy.

When the sweet scent of the candy pill spread, the others noticed the actions of the brother and sister. Lan Si couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his lips—did this brother and sister pair seriously take what he gave them as candy!

The Imperial Academy students all knew what the candy was, and they looked at them with eyes that expressed ‘my flesh hurt1, what prodigals!’

Forget about Lou Mu Yan the prodigal girl acting crazy, why was Lou Mu Bai also following in the nonsense? These things should naturally be used during a critical time. It was just a waste to eat it now.

Of course, in a while, they wouldn’t think this way, and they would all regret how they didn’t imitate the brother and sister pair.

The members of the Imperial Family also noticed the actions of the brother and sister pair. Although they didn’t understand, they didn’t think about it so as not to be distracted, and soon entered the cultivation recovery mode.

After Lou Mu Yan finished eating the candy, the Elemental Energy in her body was quickly replenished. There wasn’t any need to recover using meditation, so she stood up and walked to the edge of the cave, grabbed a handful of dirt and smelled it.

This behaviour made Lan Si very curious. He looked at Lou Mu Yan distractedly while meditating and asked: “Lou Mu Yan, what’re you smelling? You can’t eat this kind of dirt.”

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at Lan Si. With which eye did he see her wanting to eat this dirt. But since they were all locusts connected by one thread2, she still reminded them as if intentionally yet also unintentionally: “Teacher, you didn’t notice any peculiar smell in this cave?”

“Peculiar smell?” Lan Si was surprised, then sniffed around everywhere, and gradually also felt that something was wrong.

“Lou Mu Yan, just what’s the matter with you? Not only did you not take a good rest, and instead wasted all the candy used to replenish Elemental Energy that Teacher Lan gave, but you also go and sniff some dirt? Where’s the peculiar smell in here? I think you’re just bored and looking for trouble.

“You don’t need to rest, but don’t affect other people recovering their Elemental Energy.” Hu Fei, also an instructor from the Imperial Academy, looked at Lou Mu Yan unhappily. There was nothing but provocation in his words.

The moment his voice fell, a few students that were meditating and recovering opened their eyes and looked at Lou Mu Yan in disgust. They really questioned just how this trash was chosen to participate in the Trial.

They really wanted to throw her out, but considering Lou Mu Bai’s face, they were barely able to resist cursing at her.

“Am I affecting others? All I was doing was smelling some dirt, what did it have to do with you? Instead, instructor must be deliberately trying to affect the Imperial team’s recovery by reprimanding so loudly.”

Lou Mu Yan leaned against the wall of the cave, raised an eyebrow and continued: “After all, if we met danger, our students all have the candy that Teacher Lan distributed before to replenish our Elemental Energy, while the members of the Imperial Family…” She only spoke half the sentence, but her meaning was evident.

You can incite disharmony, this old mother3 of yours, can too. Lou Mu Yan sneered in her heart. She could now dare conclude that this man surnamed Hu was just purely against her. The hostility was just too obvious.

“You…” Hu Fei didn’t expect Lou Mu Yan to counterattack him, and his face was black with anger. Then he finally raised his hand and pointed at Lou Mu Yan, saying: “So this is your attitude towards a teacher?”

Lou Mu Yan looked at his outstretched finger coldly. She hated others pointing at her the most. The corners of her lips rose into a careless and casual smile that carried with it a sense of ridicule: “Is there any problem with my attitude towards a teacher? A teacher worthy of my respect, I naturally will respect. As for those like Teacher Hu who have bad intentions, forgive me for I don’t dare to praise. Even if I’m the Imperial Academy’s student, I really can’t stand it anymore. After all, right now we still have to participate in the first round of the examination with the members of the Imperial Family, no?”

“You…”

Hu Fei really didn’t expect Lou Mu Yan to argue so tediously and vexatiously. Seeing that one of the instructors from the Imperial Family cast a suspicious and unhappy gaze on him, he almost collapsed from being angered. To explain wasn’t a good idea, yet not to explain was also not a good idea.

“Enough! Is it time for a quarrel right now?” Yun Ji was the eldest and he immediately scolded them upon seeing their quarrel intensify.

Then he looked at Hu Fei with a faint dislike in his eyes, “Hu Fei, why are you, as an instructor, seizing onto a little girl and not letting go. She only smelled the dirt, how could it affect the recovery of the others? In fact you being so loud just now made it appear as if it was on purpose.”

Yun Ji didn’t like Hu Fei from their first encounter. This person harboured evil intentions—that was his judgement of Hu Fei. As for his feelings towards Lou Mu Yan, he wasn’t like the rest that looked at her with coloured eyes4, not to mention the order that the Imperial Teacher gave him before coming, so he naturally was biased towards Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at Yun Jin in surprise, a little curious that this person didn’t actually blame her, but instead helped her.

Hu Fei was so angered he almost got a crooked nose. Yun Ji actually humiliated him like this using his identity as one of the leaders of this team. He noted down this grudge.

1in case people forgot, ‘flesh/meat (forgot which one I used previously) hurt’ figuratively means that them being so wasteful and luxurious hurts them as if they were cutting off a piece of their own meat lol.  

2figuratively means they’re in this together. No idea how that originated.

3arrogant way of referring to oneself by females.

4like wearing coloured glasses. Means someone who is prejudiced, so in this case, he didn’t look at her in a prejudiced way like the others.
