Chapter 564: Chapter 563: Zhushan Village

"Yiyi, we’re almost there. Once we arrive, you’ll share a room with your senior, and tomorrow we’ll head to the nearby village."

Upon hearing Teacher Qian’s words, Yiyi nodded with a smile, though she slightly furrowed her brows. The senior wasn’t just anyone; she was the girl who had approached Gu Tingyu at the school gate last time. Yiyi was surprised to find out this senior was coming along to Xingzhou and had already learned her name on the way: Hua Meixin.

Naturally, Hua Meixin heard Qian Yi’s words too. She smiled and said, "Don’t worry, teacher. I will get along well with Junior Yiyi. It’s such a coincidence; Yiyi is the very talented junior teacher mentioned, and we’ve already met once before."

Qian Yi appeared somewhat curious hearing this.

"So you two have met before. When did that happen?"

"Teacher, it was not long ago, but I didn’t know Junior Yiyi at the time. Otherwise, I would have certainly talked to her more." Hua Meixin smoothly picked up the conversation.

Listening to Hua Meixin, Yiyi glanced at her in surprise, not expecting this senior to be so articulate.

Qian Yi didn’t know how they met; he simply assumed they were on good terms. "You two can communicate more then; you’re both girls and should get along well."

"Certainly, teacher, we’ll definitely get along."

Hua Meixin quickly spoke with a smile.

Yiyi nodded noncommittally.

Upon reaching Xingzhou, Qian Yi led a group of students off the bus and then brought them to the hotel in an orderly fashion.

Yiyi, carrying her luggage, entered the room with Hua Meixin.

After putting down her luggage, Hua Meixin curiously looked at Yiyi and asked, "The handsome guy we saw at the school gate last time, is he your boyfriend?"

"He’s my fiancé."

Since Hua Meixin asked, Yiyi had no reason to hide.

"So he’s your fiancé. You two make a great pair, handsome man and beautiful woman. Don’t mind what happened last time; your fiancé is so good-looking that I and my friend approached him to ask if he had a girlfriend."

Seeing Hua Meixin speak so frankly, Yiyi changed her opinion of her. She smiled and said, "It’s nothing. You didn’t know his situation at the time, but you’ll know in the future."

"So we’ve reconciled just like that; I was really surprised when I saw you during the departure, feeling both awkward and unsure about how to explain."

Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh at this.

"Senior, let’s work hard together from now on."

"Okay."

After speaking openly with Hua Meixin, Yiyi felt a lot more at ease. Initially, she thought the trip with Hua Meixin might be awkward, but this girl turned out to be quite straightforward, saying whatever was on her mind, which made their interaction rather harmonious.

"Alright, Junior Yiyi, let’s go down for dinner; Teacher Qian must have already arranged it."

When Yiyi and Hua Meixin went down, sure enough, Qian Yi had arranged a table full of dishes, "Yiyi, Meixin, come to eat. After dinner, you can rest well; you might be quite busy tomorrow."

Yiyi and Hua Meixin laughed and sat down. Besides them, there were two other girls, Zhu Tiantian and Lu Rui, while the remaining four were boys, whom Yiyi wasn’t very familiar with yet.

After dinner, Hua Meixin prepared to return to the room and called out to Yiyi, but Yiyi planned to check on Fu Yun and the others, so she smiled and said, "Senior, you go ahead to the room; I’ll be back later."

"Are you planning to take a walk nearby? Should I accompany you?"

Yiyi quickly shook her head and said, "No need, senior, I’m going to meet my friends; they’re also here."

"Oh, I see. Then I’ll head back to the room."

Hua Meixin heard this and didn’t ask further, returning directly.

Yiyi went to a neighboring hotel where Fu Yun and the others were staying.

"Holy Daughter, where are you going tomorrow?"

Upon seeing Yiyi, Lin Jing asked directly.

"We’re going to a nearby village called Zhushan Village tomorrow."

Lin Jing and Fu Yun raised their eyebrows upon hearing this.

Seeing their expressions, Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, "What’s up? Do you know that place?"

"Holy Daughter, Zhushan Village is the closest village to our Divine Medicine Sect. It’s quite a coincidence that you’re going there tomorrow. This way, we can accompany you, and while you’re settling in Zhushan Village, we’ll pay a visit to the Divine Medicine Sect." Fu Yun explained.

Yiyi was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"That is quite a coincidence. Since that’s the case, let’s meet at Zhushan Village, but after you visit the Divine Medicine Sect, will you come back?" Over time, Yiyi had developed some feelings for Fu Yun and the others, which prompted her to ask.

Lin Jing responded directly, "Holy Daughter, we’re just going back for a visit; we’ll definitely return."

Fu Yun nodded alongside, agreeing, "Yes, we’re just going for a visit."

"Alright, see you then."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Yiyi’s face, and she returned to the hotel where they were staying.

After Yiyi left, Fu Yun frowned, looking at Lin Jing and asked, "I feel it would be better if the Holy Daughter accompanied us back to the Divine Medicine Sect."

Lin Jing glanced at Fu Yun and said, "Fu Yun, you’ve stayed at the Divine Medicine Sect all these years, and your mind remains as pure as ever. Elder Qiu has been out of touch with us for so long, indicating that something must have happened. If we rashly take the Holy Daughter back, we might put her in harm’s way. We should first return to the Divine Medicine Sect to check the situation, and then consider whether to bring her back."

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, Fu Yun couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows tighter; he still considered Lin Jing’s concerns to be excessive.

"Though you make a valid point, Elder Qiu has already returned to the sect; what could possibly go wrong? He might not have contacted me because he’s busy; perhaps you really are overthinking."

Lin Jing didn’t say more upon hearing this and merely said, "Alright, once we arrive at the sect tomorrow, we’ll know. But the Holy Daughter is out with her school’s teacher for a task, so she should focus on her responsibility. We’ll attend to ours, and she can attend to hers."

Fu Yun nodded in agreement, "Yes, the Holy Daughter indeed has her own matters to attend to."

Unaware of their conversation, Yiyi returned to the hotel, went straight to her room, and rested. The next day, she joined everyone on their trip to Zhushan Village.
