Before noon, inside the Dining Hall.

Speaking of the Qingtian Academy Dining Hall, at this hour, it is the most bustling time of the day.

Recently, people from various academies have been arriving one after another. With the involvement of the Taichang Holy Institute, students from both A and B Class Academies, as well as Qingtian Academy, are putting all their effort into cultivating.

When people cultivate, they need to expend a lot of energy. Though the Dining Hall’s food isn’t particularly noteworthy, it is, at least, edible.

So every midday, the Dining Hall is always crowded with people.

The Dining Hall at Qingtian Academy is divided into two sections. The outer section is larger, able to accommodate hundreds of people dining at once, designated as the Student Dining Hall.

The inner section is somewhat smaller, but it’s arranged more elegantly and is exclusively for the supervisors, known as the Supervisor Dining Hall.

Compared to the lively, sometimes crowded Student Dining Hall outside, the Supervisor Dining Hall is much quieter at this time.

The meals provided to the supervisors are also more exquisite. To accommodate the middle and high-level supervisors from A and B Class Academies, the Supervisor Dining Hall has prepared some First and Second Star Spiritual Foods.

Although the star rating isn’t particularly high, it’s still Spiritual Food.

So there are still quite a few supervisors coming to dine.

Mu Chen and Nolan Zhuyun just entered the Supervisor Dining Hall at this moment.

"Brother Mu, I haven’t seen your sister Ziyue for a while. I heard she wasn’t taken back home?"

Nolan Zhuyun, tall in stature, seemed more gentle than usual standing next to Mu Chen.

Upon hearing Murong Ziyue’s name, Mu Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

Although Murong Ziyue stayed at Qingtian Academy, she hasn’t shown up.

Mu Chen doesn’t know where she might be at the moment.

With the End of Year Assessment approaching, his family has been continuously pressuring him due to the stress from Xiliao. If Murong Ziyue does not perform well at the end of the year, she will have to be sent back.

By then, Mu Chen would also be held accountable.

The thought gave Mu Chen a headache.

It seemed he still needed to find that girl Xin Lin to inquire about Ziyue’s current situation.

Is there still hope for her Broken Veins?

The thought took away Mu Chen’s appetite.

"I don’t have much of an appetite, you go ahead and eat," Mu Chen said, then walked out.

"Brother Mu, wait up. If you don’t want to eat in the Supervisor Dining Hall, let’s eat outside. I heard there are a few Spiritual Food Restaurants in Purple Cloud City, including one called Taoyao Pavilion..."

Nolan Zhuyun, unaware of Mu Chen’s troubles, chased after him.

But upon hearing "Taoyao Pavilion," Mu Chen lost even more of his appetite.

The Corpse King, that guy!

Where on earth did he hide!

The guys from Gu Feng Academy definitely fell for the Corpse King’s trick, but after that, the Corpse King vanished like he’d disappeared.

If by any chance the Corpse King was found by Long Qingxuan first...

Mu Chen quickened his steps.

After taking only a few steps, he saw Xin Lin walking towards the Supervisor Dining Hall.

"Stop, Xin Lin, what are you doing barging into the Supervisor Dining Hall?"

Upon seeing Xin Lin, Mu Chen hurriedly stopped her.

"Master Mu, I’ve come to find you."

Xin Lin glanced at Mu Chen, then at Nolan Zhuyun behind him, and added,

"Also here to find Supervisor Nolan."

Both Mu Chen and Nolan Zhuyun were surprised.

Especially Nolan Zhuyun, who didn’t know Xin Lin.

"I’ve made a new Spiritual Food and am planning to find someone to taste it. After thinking it over, I realized that throughout the Academy, Master Mu and Supervisor Nolan are the most discerning, so you both seemed the right choice."

After speaking, Xin Lin made a gesture of invitation, inviting the two to try the dish.
