Elder Jian's suggestion! Let Lin Xiyue take on disciples?

Blue Star, Great Xia.

Mount Taibai, Nuclear Energy Spiritual Qi Conversion Center.

As Shen Qingyi's feet lightly touched the ground,

the vision of the cold, clear full moon in the sky and the ice crystals and snowflakes drifting through the air slowly dissipated, turning into the purest Spiritual Qi and returning to the world.

Everything seemed to return to tranquility.

Only the young girl standing in the center of the field, with flowing silver hair and a glazed long dress, proved that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.

"I... I am..."

Shen Qingyi looked down at her crystal-clear, fair hands, then touched her unfamiliar silver hair, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

She felt as if her current body contained a terrifying power capable of freezing rivers; this power felt foreign to her, even a bit frightening.

"Child... don't worry!"

Just then, a flurry of footsteps approached.

Lin Xiyue led the crowd, swarming around her.

Zhang Zhenghua, walking at the very front, looked at the girl whose appearance had changed greatly; a kind and gratified smile appeared on his face as he comforted her warmly:

"Don't be afraid, you have only just had your Physique Awakening."

"This is a momentous good thing for you, and for Great Xia!"

"Awakening... Physique?"

Shen Qingyi was stunned for a moment; she recognized these words individually, but together,

for a complete novice like her who hadn't had time to systematically learn about cultivation, it was truly beyond her understanding.

"Wait..."

She subconsciously looked around, seeing the researchers in white coats,

and this massive metal building filled with a sci-fi feel, her heart suddenly grew tense.

Where is this?

Wasn't I at the school playground?

However, when her gaze swept across the crowd and finally fixed on the stunning figure standing at the very front, her eyes suddenly lit up, bursting with a flash of excitement.

"You... You are Fairy Xi—"

She instinctively wanted to call out "Fairy Xiyue," the title most loudly used on the internet.

But as the words reached her lips, she suddenly realized the occasion was inappropriate.

The person before her was a legendary figure; how could she use such an internet nickname?

So she quickly changed her words, stammering out:

"Uh, no... it's... it's Chief Lin?!"

"It's me."

Seeing Shen Qingyi's nervous and flustered state, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but smile.

She stepped forward and reached out to gently pat Shen Qingyi's shoulder, saying softly:

"Don't be nervous, just relax."

"No one here will hurt you."

Feeling the warmth from her shoulder, Shen Qingyi's tense body slowly relaxed.

A fuzzy memory also surged into her mind.

"I remember now..."

"It was you!"

"Back at the playground, when I felt like I was about to freeze to death... it was you who appeared and saved me!"

Shen Qingyi looked up, gazing into Lin Xiyue's eyes which were as bright as stars, her tone filled with gratitude.

Although her body had been sealed in ice and she couldn't move back then, her consciousness hadn't completely fallen into slumber.

She clearly remembered that it was this goddess-like existence before her who had torn through space to come and take her away from that place of despair.

"Besides that, do you remember anything else?"

Gu Zhiyun, standing nearby, leaned in and asked curiously.

"I... I don't remember much more..."

Shen Qingyi tried hard to recall, then shook her head somewhat painfully.

The events that followed were like being covered by a layer of mist; no matter how she tried to remember, it was all a blank.

"It's okay, it's normal not to remember."

Seeing Shen Qingyi's bewildered look, Gu Zhiyun kindly acted as the narrator.

Gesticulating wildly, she used the simplest language to explain what happened after Shen Qingyi fell unconscious,

including how she triggered the vision, how she was brought back to the base, and how, with the full support of Great Xia, she awakened the legendary 'Taiyin Sacred Body,' telling the whole story from start to finish.

Listening to Gu Zhiyun's narration, Shen Qingyi's small mouth opened wider and wider; she was completely stunned.

She never imagined that while she was dreaming, she had experienced such bizarre events!

And... the country had actually mobilized such a massive operation to save her?

They even used a Nuclear Reactor?

This was only because she didn't yet recognize the value of those two sacred artifacts.

Otherwise, the point of her shock would have changed.

"So..."

Shen Qingyi swallowed hard and looked at Lin Xiyue cautiously, her voice trembling as she asked:

"So I... am I now a member of Taibai Academy as well?"

She hadn't forgotten what she had been cultivating so desperately for.

She did it to change her fate, to save her mother and her younger brother!

"Of course!"

Lin Xiyue nodded without hesitation, a bright smile on her face.

"Although you missed the formal entrance test due to the emergency."

"But given your current situation, let alone admission..."

"You fully meet our academy's highest level 'Special Recruitment' standards!"

No kidding!

This was the legendary Taiyin Sacred Body! A future Empress in the making!

If a Genius of this level couldn't enter Taibai Academy, then how high would the threshold of their academy have to be?

As for character?

A girl who could risk her life for her family, with a willpower so firm it even moved tough-guy instructors—did her character even need to be questioned?

This was absolutely a top-tier talent with the right values!

"I... I succeeded?!"

Upon receiving Lin Xiyue's affirmative answer, Shen Qingyi felt her nose tingle, and her vision instantly blurred.

"Great... That's great!"

"I really succeeded!"

"Now... mother's medical fees are covered... and my brother is saved..."

She wept with joy, crying like a helpless child.

No one knew how much pressure she had been carrying, and no one knew what this admission meant to her.

It wasn't just a chance to go to school; it was a lifeline for her entire family!

Witnessing this, everyone present was moved, a wave of sorrow and pity rising in their hearts.

"Tsk, girl Lin."

Just then, a slightly weak voice suddenly sounded in Lin Xiyue's ear.

Lin Xiyue looked back and saw Elder Jian slowly floating over.

Compared to before, Elder Jian's figure had clearly become much more illusory, like smoke that could be scattered by a gust of wind.

Clearly, forcibly stripping the Law and guiding the energy to mature Shen Qingyi's Physique just now had been too much of a drain for this remnant soul of his.

"Old Grandfather, are you okay?"

Seeing Elder Jian's shaky appearance, Lin Xiyue's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked with concern.

This was a precious treasure of Great Xia; nothing else must go wrong.

"Don't worry, it's nothing major."

"I'll be fine after some rest."

Elder Jian waved his hand, appearing completely unconcerned about his state.

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the still-weeping Shen Qingyi, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Girl Lin, I have a suggestion now. Do you want to hear it?"

"Old Grandfather, please, just say it!"

Lin Xiyue said solemnly.

She knew Elder Jian was well-experienced; the suggestion he offered now would surely be very important.

"Mm."

Elder Jian stroked his beard, his expression becoming serious.

"This old man believes that with this little girl's Heaven-Defying Aptitude of the 'Taiyin Sacred Body,' if she were to be left to roam the academy like an ordinary student, attending large lectures with everyone else..."

"That would truly be a waste of a god-given gift! It would be squandering her talent!"

Speaking to this point, Elder Jian paused and looked at Lin Xiyue with burning eyes, giving his suggestion:

"Therefore... my opinion is..."

"You should take action yourself and directly take her in!"

"Cultivate her as your... Personal Disciple!"
