Hu Liena sighed and buried her head in her knees.
There was no other reason than the fact that last time, Lin Yuan had merely mentioned her in passing in his diary.
He had hinted that she might be a "love brain" in the future, even betraying Spirit Hall for a man.
As a result, after that day, the way her teacher looked at her had become quite strange.
This caused Hu Liena to feel incredibly wronged and panicked.
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe that in the original work, I would really betray Spirit Hall and become such an ungrateful wretch!"
Hu Liena screamed in her heart.
Spirit Hall was her home, the place where she had been raised.
Bibi Dong was her esteemed mentor, like a teacher and a mother to her.
What reason would she have to betray them?
Could it really be for the sake of a man?
Now, as a bystander, she couldn't understand it at all.
Although Lin Yuan didn't elaborate on the specific details, the clues revealed in the diary all pointed to her doing something extremely detrimental to Spirit Hall in the future.
It might even have led to the downfall of Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena thought to herself, "If I also go to contact Lin Yuan secretly, or if he writes about me a few more times in his diary..."
"What if he writes down the specific details, like how I fell in love with Tang San, or how I sold out information..."
Hu Liena shuddered.
"If that happens, Teacher will definitely be completely disappointed in me."
However, many other diary owners had already received rewards because of Lin Yuan's mentions, and their strength would surely improve very quickly.
Although she considered herself a Genius, if others progressed while she stayed the same, she would eventually be overtaken... The next morning.
Lin Yuan stretched and walked to the balcony, looking at the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, whose crystal-clear leaves were unfurling in the sunlight.
"Morning, Ah Yin."
Lin Yuan reached out a finger and gently teased the tender tip of a leaf.
Ah Yin seemed to enjoy this interaction as well; her leaves trembled slightly, and two vines affectionately wrapped around Lin Yuan's finger, conveying a sense of joy.
Lin Yuan smiled and watered Ah Yin with some spiritual liquid.
Then, he turned back into the room, his expression becoming serious.
"Since my relationship with Sister Yanyan and the others is already so good—you could even say they're my own people now..."
"Then it's time to share some of the good things."
Lin Yuan thought of the remaining ten thousand year whale gum in his storage ring.
Although this stuff was a divine object for improving one's Physique, its effect on his current body was already negligible.
As good as ten thousand year whale gum was, it unfortunately also came with drug resistance.
Unless it was hundred thousand year whale gum, it would be difficult to have another major Breakthrough.
And as it happened, Rongrong was already level twenty, and they were preparing to go to the Royal Spirit Hunting Forest in the next couple of days to obtain her second spirit ring.
If her Physique could be improved, she would be able to absorb a spirit ring of a higher year.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan once again took out the nine dragons departing fire furnace.
The Pill Furnace grew larger and floated in mid-air.
Lin Yuan threw the remaining pieces of ten thousand year whale gum into the furnace, while also adding several neutralizing medicinal herbs.
His purpose for this Alchemy session was very clear.
First, to remove the "aphrodisiac" side effect of the whale gum.
Second, to dilute its medicinal effects and make them milder, so that the girls could absorb it and improve their Physiques to the maximum extent.
An hour later.
The furnace lid opened, and a faint, fishy fragrance wafted out.
With a wave of Lin Yuan's hand, over a dozen dark gold Medicinal Pills landed in a jade bottle.
He had refined the ten thousand year whale gum into 'Body Tempering Pills'.
One pill could increase the Physique limit by about a thousand years, and the medicinal properties were mild; one was to be taken per day.
A piece of whale gum that could have increased Physique by five thousand years had been directly diluted and refined into five pills.
Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, put away the pills, and got up to head to the teaching building... In the classroom, students were gathered in small groups, chatting.
As soon as Lin Yuan entered the door, he attracted the attention of every girl in the class.
It couldn't be helped; his performance in yesterday's battle was just too cool.
He walked straight to his seat, where Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lengleng had already arrived.
Before the teacher arrived.
Lin Yuan leaned over and whispered to the three girls, "Sister Yanyan, Rongrong, Sister Lengleng."
"Come with me to the cultivation room after class later."
"I have something good to give you."
Hearing this, the three girls' eyes lit up, and they all nodded obediently.
They were all curious in their hearts; hadn't they just absorbed Immortal Herbs yesterday? There's more good stuff today?
Seeing this, Xiao Wu, who was sitting next to Lin Yuan, immediately pouted, her large, ruby-like eyes filled with grievance. "Brother... what about me? Don't I get anything?"
"You're being biased!"
Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Wu's cute, jealous look.
He leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear, his warm breath blowing against her somewhat sensitive ear. "I refined the ten thousand year whale gum I had into pills specifically for improving the Physique."
"Since they are our partners now, I naturally can't keep it all to myself."
"As for this whale gum, it's not of much use to you anymore."
The warm breath made Xiao Wu's ear itch, and upon closer inspection, her ears had turned completely red.
Just then, the school bell rang.
But the person who walked into the classroom was not Teacher Qin Ming, but an unfamiliar middle-aged male teacher.
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu explained in a low voice, "Brother, while you were away this past month, some changes occurred."
"Teacher Qin Ming... was transferred by the academy to teach other ordinary classes and is no longer in charge of our class."
"Oh?" Lin Yuan was a bit surprised.
Xiao Wu continued, "Not long after you left, Rongrong heard it from her father."
"Before Uncle Ning and Sword Douluo came to see you that day, they actually went to the dean's office first."
"And they happened to overhear the conversation between Head Meng Shenji and Qin Ming."
"So..." Xiao Wu briefly recounted what had happened.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan understood everything. So that was it.
The Head's move had completely marginalized Qin Ming.
Being transferred to an ordinary class meant that no more resources would be tilted toward him in the future.
Just as well, out of sight, out of mind.
Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the other side of the classroom.
There, Yu Tianheng sat with a pale face, his right arm hanging limply at his side.
He had been wounded by Lin Yuan's spear yesterday. Although he had received preliminary treatment from Ye Lengleng and was later taken over by the teachers at the academy's infirmary.
The injury to his right shoulder was still severe.
While the external wounds had healed, the internal injuries and meridian damage caused by that Evil Qi were not something that could be recovered from in a short time.
In this Heaven Dou City, if one were to say who could best heal such internal injuries.
It would probably only be Ye Lengleng's grandfather, the Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Douluo, Ye Renxin.
But unfortunately, this time, Ye Lengleng had also taken Lin Yuan's side, and the academy wouldn't have the face to ask Ye Renxin to come out and clean up Yu Tianheng's mess.
He could only be left to recover slowly on his own...
