2144 Joining the Academy Prince Yuan Zuo, the storm in the Immortal Sect Selection gradually calmed down. Yang Ruoxu heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal, he was only a step away from death earlier on! If Fairy Mo Qing had not arrived in time, he would have been killed by Zither Immortal Meng Yao. Of course, Yang Ruoxu was puzzled as well. From what he knew, Senior Sister Mo Qing was indeed quiet and aloof from worldly affairs. She was often in seclusion painting on her main peak and rarely appeared. He had never heard of her getting too close to anyone. He had joined the sect for tens of thousands of years and had only seen Senior Sister Mo Qing a few times from afar during this period of time. He did not have the chance to interact with her, let alone speak to her or even befriend her. Fairy Mo Qing’s actions today were indeed strange. Of course, Yang Ruoxu did not think too much about it. He merely thought that Fairy Mo Qing had helped him because she happened to pass by and saw that her fellow sect mate was in trouble. “Thank you for your help, Senior Sister Mo Qing.” Yang Ruoxu bowed respectfully to Fairy Mo Qing. Su Zimo stood out as well and bowed to Fairy Mo Qing. “Thank you, Fairy Mo Qing.” No matter why Fairy Mo Qing appeared and fought against Zither Immortal Meng Yao, he should be grateful that she saved his life. Fairy Mo Qing had an indifferent expression and did not say anything. She merely nodded and did not look at the two of them anymore. Suddenly, she sensed something and her gaze shifted to an ordinary carriage in the crowd. “Amazing!” The plain-robed woman could not help but praise internally. “Princess, the Painting Immortal seems to have discovered us!” The girl was surprised. Ever since Fairy Mo Qing appeared, the plain-robed woman had not appeared and there was no activity in the carriage. To think that Fairy Mo Qing would discover them right away in a crowd of millions. “As the Painting Immortal, Fairy Mo Qing’s eyesight is naturally extremely strong. If not for that skill, how could she capture the Dharmic Dao and divine charm of all living beings in the world?” The plain-robed woman said softly. She smiled gently and nodded in the direction of Fairy Mo Qing through the curtain of the carriage. Fairy Mo Qing nodded in return. Yang Ruoxu turned around and looked at the hundred people selected from the Immortal Sect Selection. “The Immortal Sect Selection will continue. Su Zimo, are you willing to join Heaven and Earth Academy?” “Hold on!” Right then, Heavenly Abyss suddenly spoke and looked at Su Zimo. “Earlier on, Mountain Sea Immortal Sect was forced to withdraw because of the circumstances. I’ve already reported this matter to the sect and experts of the sect will arrive soon. Mountain Sea Immortal Sect is willing to recruit you.” “Imperial Wind Temple can agree to recruit you too, Su Zimo,” Heaven Immortal Green Peak stood out hurriedly as well. Yang Ruoxu sneered. Indeed, there was nothing much to say when the two of them were forced to retreat by Meng Yao earlier on. However, the fact that they came back now to try and steal Su Zimo was rather shameless. Only, everyone could read the situation and Yang Ruoxu could not be bothered to expose them. In the end, it still depended on Su Zimo’s choice. “Thank you for your kind intentions,” Almost without hesitation, Su Zimo cupped his fists towards Heaven Abyss and Heaven Immortal Green Peak before saying, “I’m willing to join Heaven and Earth Academy!” Initially, he was indeed inclined towards Mountain Sea Immortal Sect. That was because on the Dragon Abyss Star, he had conflicts with three Perfected Immortal experts of Flying Immortal Sect, Heaven and Earth Academy and Imperial Wind Temple. However, earlier on, it was because of Yang Ruoxu’s persistence and Fairy Mo Qing’s timely appearance that he was able to survive. If he were to enter Mountain Sea Immortal Sect now, wouldn’t he be an ungrateful person? Heaven Abyss sighed gently with a regretful expression. Yang Ruoxu’s expression softened as he nodded to Su Zimo. “Come over and stand behind me.” Su Zimo obeyed and stood in the camp of Heaven and Earth Academy. At that moment, he truly felt at ease. After ascending to the upper world, the environment he was in was extremely cruel and dangerous. It was always filled with danger and he could die at any moment. Now that he had Heaven and Earth Academy backing him, he could cultivate openly. No matter how strong Prince Yuan Zuo was or how powerful the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom was, they would not dare to capture him at Heaven and Earth Academy! From this day forth, anyone who wanted to bully the young with their cultivation realm would have to think about Heaven and Earth Academy backing him. When Fairy Mo Qing saw that nothing was wrong, she did not bid farewell to everyone and turned to leave with the Ice Butterfly, disappearing into the horizon before long. “We should leave too,” Within the carriage, the plain-robed woman said softly. “Princess, aren’t you going to stay to see which immortal sect Prince Yun Lei will join?” The girl said, “Princess Scarlet Rainbow is next. After her is Prince Yun Lei.” “Him?” The plain-robed woman shook her head gently, seemingly uninterested, and said casually, “I don’t know which immortal sect he will join, but it definitely won’t be Heaven and Earth Academy.” “Why?” The girl asked. The plain-robed woman did not explain and her spirit consciousness moved, controlling the carriage to leave the place as well. In midair. The second person with the most number of Coiling Dragon Badges was Princess Scarlet Rainbow. Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s talent and potential were equally terrifying. If not for Su Zimo, this princess would have been the first person recruited by the four immortal sects with all their might. Of course, the four Heaven Immortals knew that Princess Scarlet Rainbow would most likely join Imperial Wind Temple. “Flying Immortal Sect is interested,” Heaven Immortal White Sea said in a deep voice. “Mountain Sea Immortal Sect is interested,” Heaven Abyss added. Heaven Immortal Green Peak chuckled. “Fellow Daoists, to be fair, the speed of Scarlet Rainbow’s movement technique is her greatest advantage. If she can join Imperial Wind Temple, she can maximize that advantage! There’s no need for the two of you to fight. Imperial Wind Temple is the most suitable…” When Princess Scarlet Rainbow saw Heaven Immortal Green Peak ramble on, she waved it off. “Exalted Immortal, there’s no need to say anything more. I want to join Heaven and Earth Academy!” “Mmm?” The smile on Heaven Immortal Green Peak’s face froze and he swallowed his words with an awkward expression. The other three Heaven Immortals revealed surprised expressions as well. “Scarlet Rainbow, are you sure?” Heaven Immortal Green Peak frowned and asked in a deep voice, “You should know that you can only unlock your potential completely after joining Imperial Wind Temple.” “Initially, I wanted to join Imperial Wind Temple,” Pausing for a moment, Princess Scarlet Rainbow glared at the green-robed scholar in the Heaven and Earth Academy formation and smiled gently, revealing her petite canine teeth. “However, I’ve changed my mind now!” Heaven Immortal Green Peak harrumphed coldly and said nothing more. Naturally, Yang Ruoxu was delighted and nodded slightly to Princess Scarlet Rainbow. “Scarlet Rainbow, come over as well.” Princess Scarlet Rainbow giggled and ran to the formation of Heaven and Earth Academy, standing beside Su Zimo. “Little Earth Immortal, I told you that you won’t be able to escape, right?” Princess Scarlet Rainbow looked askance at Su Zimo with a crafty expression and sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness. Su Zimo lowered his head expressionlessly, as though he had not heard anything. “Humph, what are you acting cool for?!” Princess Scarlet Rainbow secretly extended her finger and poked Su Zimo’s ribs. To think that the Green Lotus True Body would be incomparably tough. Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s poke nearly snapped her finger and she gasped in pain, almost crying out.
