Chapter 173: Unable to Sleep

“Anyway, now that we have permission, I’ll be staying here until the competition finishes.” Fei Yuyan said to him in a slightly angry voice, clearly unhappy about the way Yuan had handled this situation.

“By the way, I won’t be here at night and will return in the morning.” Yuan suddenly said to her as she went to look for an empty room.

“What? Why not? Where are you going that requires you to stay outside all night?” Fei Yuyan asked him with raised eyebrows.

“I’m not going anywhere— I just won’t be available until the morning,” Yuan said.

“Is that so? I won’t need you at night, anyway,” Fei Yuyan quickly responded in a somewhat weird tone, and she left the place to look for her own room.

Sometime later, Fei Yuyan settled in the room that was only two doors away from Yuan’s room.

“We will begin practice tomorrow morning at sunrise. Good night and get plenty of rest because we’ll practice even harder tomorrow,” Fei Yuyan said to Yuan before retiring inside her room.

However, Fei Yuyan was unable to sleep like she normally would, as this is her first time sleeping with another individual in the same building after she became an Inner Court disciple, much less a male disciple!

In fact, this is definitely her first time staying overnight at a man’s house, and she would’ve never imagined that it’d belong to an Outer Court disciple either!

Meanwhile, after returning to his own room, Yuan logged off for the night and waited for Yu Rou to return from school.

After dinner was served and Yu Rou brushed his teeth, Yuan proceeded to spend the rest of the night cultivating.

However, inside cultivation online, only an hour after Yuan logged off, Xuan Wuhan appeared outside of the Dragon Essence Temple with an irritated frown on her face, looking like someone who’d their peace disturbed.

“S-Senior apprentice sister Xuan! Welcome back!” The guards standing at the entrance of the sect immediately bowed to Xuan Wuhan who was not only a Core Disciple but also Grand Elder Xuan’s granddaughter, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was as famous if not even more popular than Fei Yuyan.

However, Xuan Wuhan ignored these guards and walked directly into the sect.

The guards turned to look at her with scared looks on their faces, and they wondered to themselves what had happened that made her appear so angry, as they have never seen her act in such a way before.

“Welcome back from your vacation, Senior apprentice sister Xuan!”

“Greetings, Fairy Xuan!”

“How was your vacation, Senior apprentice sister Xuan? I hope you enjoyed it because you earned it!”

Almost every disciple in the Outer Court recognized Xuan Wuhan and greeted her the moment they saw her, and even if the disciples didn’t recognize her face they recognized her uniform that only Core Disciples are qualified to wear, so they still greeted her with respect.

“Thanks.” Xuan Wuhan responded in a nonchalant manner before walking away with wide strides, dumbfounding these disciples.

“Did something happen to Fairy Xuan? She’s usually cheerful and easy to approach, yet she’s acting the total opposite today.”

“Maybe something unpleasant happened during her vacation.”

“Wait a second, I thought Fairy Xuan wouldn’t return to the sect for another week? Maybe that has something to do with her behavior?”

“That must be it. I wonder if this is related to what happened not long ago at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate.”

“Maybe they are gathering all of the Core Disciples for a meeting.”

“Do we know the identity of the disciple who cleared the tower yet?”

“No, not yet. The sect elders aren’t saying anything but that’s because they also don’t know anything— at least that’s what I was told when I asked some of them.”

“What? Not even the sect elders are aware of the situation? This situation must be more complicated than we’d expected…”

“Think about it, this is the first time anyone has cleared all 100 floors in the tower, and even the Founder could only clear 99 floors, failing on the last floor. I doubt the sect would be willing to reveal a talent like that to the rest of the world right before the Mythic Realm.”

“Oh, right. The Mythic Realm is only around the corner, huh? I cannot wait for this year’s tournament. I heard a certain rumor that the other elite sects also accepted a couple of cultivation prodigies.”

“Really? I wonder how they’ll fare against our disciples.”

“Hmph! Do you even need to ask that question? Of course, our disciples won’t lose!”

“I guess…”

Sometime later, Xuan Wuhan arrived in the area Yuan lived in and looked around for building #70.

Meanwhile, Min Li, who was getting ready for bed, noticed Xuan Wuhan’s appearance from her window.

“Isn’t that Grand Elder Xuan’s granddaughter? What’s she doing here?” Min Li mumbled to herself as she tried her best to watch Xuan Wuhan from the window without being noticed.

Once she’d found her target, Xuan Wuhan approached building #70 and knocked on the door after stepping onto the doorstep.

However, when nobody answered the door even a minute later, Xuan Wuhan knocked on it again, this time with even more force.

‘D-Don’t tell me that they’ve already started doing ‘that’?!?!?!’ Xuan Wuhan cried inwardly, feeling uncomfortable all over her body for some reason.

“Yuan! Are you inside?!” Xuan Wuhan knocked on the door while shouting out loud, sounding a little bit desperate, “It’s me! Xuan Wuhan! Hurry up and open the door!”

But alas, Yuan had long logged off the game and would not be able to hear her voice no matter how loud she shouted.

However, it was a different story for Fei Yuyan, who’d recently fallen asleep with much difficulty, and Xuan Wuhan’s constant knocking eventually woke her up.

“Damn it! What kind of rude person would knock on the door so loudly this late?! And I’d finally managed to sleep too!”

Fei Yuyan quickly got off the bed and went downstairs before opening the door in an agitated manner.

“Who’s barking so loudly in the middle of the night?! What are you, a dog?! Name yourself!” Fei Yuyan spoke in an angry voice as she opened the door.
