When Yang Wei finished telling Elder Jing everything, she sighed softly and smacked Yang Wei's head.
"This is good enough clues for us to know where to begin the investigation." Elder Jing said as she blamed Yang Wei for hiding too many secrets.
Yang Wei wanted to rebuke that she was also the same in keeping many secrets to herself but didn't dare to do so.
At least not now as Yang Wei would find the perfect chance to gain the advantage when he confronts her.
"Anyway, the inner disciple exam has been decided to start in another 3 days from now." Elder Jing changed the topic.
"That quick?" Yang Wei held a dumbfounded expression as he thought there was still more time left.
"What do you mean by quick?" Elder Jing rolled her eyes at Yang Wei. "Don't forget your little adventures with Su Mingxia and a restaurant owner."
Yang Wei coughed as he feigned innocence. "Restaurant owner? Who's that?"
"Anyway, I should head off to training now," He then added as he quickly fled the room and went outside to practice Octane Punch.
Elder Jing giggled at Yang Wei as she began going through some documents on her desk.
Sometime later, a guard knocked on the door.
"Elder Jing, these are the documents regarding the inner disciple exam." The guard bowed in respect as he handed the documents over.
Elder Jing grabbed the documents and nodded her head.
"Yang Wei, stop punching and come over." Elder Jing then shouted at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei stopped training and went toward Elder Jing. "Did I do something wrong in the training?"
"No, these are the documents for the inner disciple examination and a map." Elder Jing said and ordered Yang Wei to follow after her.
After entering her personal room, Elder Jing snapped her finger and a formation started activating.
The ground began changing structure and a staircase popped out, leading downward.
Yang Wei gasped in surprise as he stared at Elder Jing.
"Are we going to do it there?" He then teased Elder Jing.
Elder Jing smacked his head and said in a stern tone, "Down there is a cultivation room where the spiritual qi is more profound and concentrated."
"You will cultivate there from now on until the start of the inner disciple exam."
Yang Wei nodded his head as he walked downstairs.
"The center is the best position so go sit in the lotus position." Elder Jing said as she flicked her hand and the cultivation room illuminated.
Yang Wei proceeded to walk toward the center and sat in a lotus position. As soon as he closed his eyes, Yang Wei could feel himself absorbing the spiritual qi faster than normal.
"T-This is unbelievable." Yang Wei muttered in disbelief as the speed of absorption increased by at least 7 times.
"Heh, you should be thankful since this is my personal cultivation room and you are the first person to cultivate here beside me." Elder Jing laughed as she held a prideful expression.
Yang Wei smiled at Elder Jing. "I promise to take care of you in bed later on as thanks."
Elder Jing blushed as she glared at him. "When did your mouth become this flirty all of sudden?"
"Ever since the day, we did it. I figured there's no point in hiding my emotions any longer."
Elder Jing was rendered speechless by Yang Wei's boldness.
However, she soon turned ice-cold. "Enough flirting and focus on cultivating. I do not wish to be the reason to delay your cultivation."
Although she doesn't mind Yang Wei's flirty behavior, she wished that he would become stronger without being distracted.
Yang Wei nodded his head as he began cultivating in the lotus position. His mind soon became focused and the surroundings became quiet around him.
Spiritual qi started circulating around Yang Wei as he absorbed them into his core whereas Elder Jing became refining pills next to him.
Days passed by quickly and by the time Yang Wei opened his eyes, 3 days had gone by and it was time for the inner disciple exam to begin.
"How's your cultivation?" Elder Jing asked as she stored her cauldron.
"Although I didn't advance, my foundation has stabilized and I could feel myself becoming stronger." Yang Wei replied.
"In that case, let's go. We are to meet in the open courtyard as we gather everyone else." Elder Jing said as she stopped the formation that helped support the cultivation room.
Sometime later, they arrived at the open courtyard where many outer disciples have gathered already.
When they saw Elder Jing walking closely with Yang Wei, an envious gaze soon appeared in their eyes.
"Those eyesights from them are really annoying," Yang Wei commented as he could feel all their eyesight seem to be piercing him every inch.
"You should expect to have difficulty in the Misty Forest soon." Elder Jing grinned as she pointed at them. "All those eyes are filled with jealousy because you get to walk with a beauty such as me."
Yang Wei smiled bitterly. "I didn't know you still had time to joke.
"Scared?" Elder Jing teased further.
"I'm not scared- just that I feel pity for those people because you are already mine." Yang Wei laughed as he headed over to the gathering area.
"Tch, look at him acting all cheeky with Elder Jing."
"Hmph, I still remember his beggar appearance in the beginning."
"A toad trying to eat swan meat is hilarious. Let's target him when the examination begins."
While walking, Yang Wei could hear them gossiping about him and how they made an alliance to target him.
Yang Wei rubbed his temples slightly as he turned around and glared at them. "Hey, I know you are all a bunch of jealous people but please, I have already eaten the swan meat."
Yang Wei then grinned evilly as he rubbed his stomach. "And that swan meat was one of a kind that none of you people can eat in your lifetime."
