The Nether Land?

  The token immediately felt intimidating to Gu Bailu.

  “How do you know that it’s from the Nether Land?”


  “My lady, there’s a giant ‘Nether’ on it.” Although Ah Luo thought it was a stupid question, she couldn’t show any impatience with her lady.

  Her lady could read, couldn’t she?

  However, most of the characters she wrote when she drew runes were incomprehensible.

  Gu Bailu widened her eyes at Ah Luo’s disdain and finally saw the word on the token that was as dark as coal.

  “Just because there’s a Nether on it doesn’t mean that it’s from the Nether Land.”


  “My lady, it’s Cold Ink Iron.”


  Suddenly, Gu Bailu felt that Ah Luo was more knowledgeable than she was.

  She touched Ah Luo’s head. “Because it’s Cold Ink Iron, it’s from the Nether Land?”


  Ah Luo nodded firmly.

  Nobody would use such a rare stone to make tokens except the lunatics of the Nether Land.

  It was like offering someone dragon meat as a snack.

  Ah Luo looked at her lady. Her lady was similar to the lunatics of the Nether Land.

  “Then, let’s keep it properly. Should we run out of money, we can sell it.”


  Gu Bailu made the decision in delight.

  After breakfast, Gu Bailu brought Ah Luo to the classroom.

  Gu Yunjing said that her professor was one of the rare experts who was good at runes.

  He also persuaded her to be nice to Ouyang Yin so that she would progress more quickly.

  Gu Bailu decided to put aside her hostility toward Ouyang Yin in order to slap Feng Qingtian’s face sooner.

  Speaking of Ouyang Yin, he used to be a prince of Rising Clouds Empire who had been the most likely candidate to inherit the throne, given his magnificent spiritual power.

  However, he found life in the royal palace too dull, and the world beyond it wonderful. Thus, he left to wander the world.

  He met a girl whom he fell in love with, but the girl died in an accident.

  Before the girl closed her eyes, she said that her soul would be with him forever.

  Thus, Ouyang Yin began to study souls and gradually turned into a spirit manipulator.

  Spirit manipulators were rare on this continent.

  However, he never found the soul of his love despite becoming a spirit manipulator.

  He knew that she had been captured by the people of the Nether Land. He even went to the Nether Land once.

  However, the Nether Land was a place that only dead people could enter.

  Ouyang Yin almost lost his life. It was Shao Di who saved him in passing.

  Shao Di then talked him into teaching Gu Bailu at Cloud Mirror Academy.

  Of course, Ouyang Yin’s condition was that Shao Di had to help him find his love’s soul in the Nether Land.

  Gu Bailu finally realized how much trouble Gu Yunjing had gone through to find her a teacher.

  How should she repay him?

  She should grow faster so that she could dual cultivate with him sooner.

  After all, she couldn’t respond to his love for her now.

  Until she got her revenge and found her parents, love was just bulls*it.

  When Gu Bailu reached the classroom, Ouyang Yin hadn’t arrived yet, but all the disciples were present.

  Nobody dared to disobey the rules of Cloud Mirror Academy.

  Shao Di had asked them to learn, so they had to learn, whether they were willing or not.

  Gu Bailu had barely sat down when Bu Yaolian poked her in the back. “Good morning. Did you have breakfast? I saved you two steamed buns.”
