"Of course I'm worried about you. I'm coming with you." Helian Yunqian didn't conceal his worry for her in the slightest.

If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't stop worrying about Xi Ruo, he wouldn't have come to this damned place.

Su Xiruo could not help but laugh: "If I were to follow you wherever I go, wouldn't that be making people laugh? How am I to stand up alone from now on?"

Despite what she said, she was happy.

"That is not my business. The only thing I can do is to look after you." Helian Yunqian's tone was a little arrogant and delicate, the long and slender fingerbone hugging her even more tightly.

"In ten days, if we go on a mission, will you follow us?" Su Xiruo casually asked.

Helian Yunqian thought for a moment, then asked: "You really hope that I can follow you?"

"I'm just asking." She denied it.

"According to the academy's rules, I can't follow you on the surface. At most, I can provide some assistance in the dark from time to time." Helian Yunqian patiently explained to her, "However, since you have said it, I will send people to secretly monitor your movements and movements at all times."

Actually, even if Xi Ruo didn't tell him, he would still want to know where Xi Ruo was at all times.

"Yes." Su Xiruo nodded slightly.

She knew that not only was it within the academy but Yun Qian was also within the Dragon Seal Empire. There should be many things that needed to be dealt with, so there was no way for him to circle around her every second.

Three days passed by quickly. Almost every day, Su Xiruo would shut himself in his room and cultivate.

In just three short days, she was already able to control the Cherry Blossom Thorn, and her Spiritual Strength had also increased by a lot.

And Helian Yunqian wasn't the one who spent his days at school, he only appeared occasionally, and most of the time, there was no one to be seen.

Today, Su Xiruo pushed open the door to his room, wanting to take a walk around the academy, but upon walking into the courtyard, he realized that there wasn't a single person on the entire Pear Garden at all.

It seemed like they were all trying their best to earn gold coins and fight for the position of boss.

"Xiruo," a familiar voice suddenly sounded by his ear as Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo walked over from outside the courtyard.

"I say, why aren't you in a hurry at all? You don't even know how to earn more gold coins, Xiao Muran and the others are going to join hands." Mu Lingxi's tone sounded rather anxious.

"What's the meaning of joining forces?" Su Xiruo didn't really understand.

"They are Bai Yanxi and Nangong Yi, the two of them have reached an agreement with Xiao Muran, the three of them will earn gold coins, at that time, I will give the result to Xiao Muran as a gift!" Mu Lingxi then explained to her, "The three of them have been standing at the entrance of the Duel Yard and each of them have a lot of gold coins with them. If this goes on, the situation will become disadvantageous for us!"

After saying that, he took out a few dozen gold coins from his pocket, "This is what I've worked hard to earn these past few days. You take this first. Just the two of us worrying about you isn't a solution!"

Ye Zhuozhuo was a little helpless: "That's right, if, Xiao Muran and the rest hate us like that, if he is the boss, then we might not have any good days ahead of us."

When Ye Zhuozhuo thought about those days, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

Su Xiruo held the gold coins tightly in his hands, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let Xiao Muran succeed, Ling Xi, in the next few days, you and I will go to the Duel Yard to earn gold coins, take these gold coins to buy the medicine and burn them, don't go out, we will take the Auction House back home to make the medicine, and we will sell some gold coins there, as long as we work together, we will definitely not lose to them!"

It was a pity that she could not reveal her identity as the Poison Master, otherwise, it would be easy for her to earn gold coins, and with the help of some rare poisons, she would already be able to earn a lot of gold coins.

The herbs he had brought with him had been confiscated. Now, he could only rely on himself to walk out step by step!

"Yes." Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo became much more confident after hearing her words.

Mercenary Academy had a very big flea market, and the merchants inside were mostly students. With this flea market, it was also convenient for students to exchange whatever they wanted.

The three of them strolled around the flea market and came across a lot of low-level herbs from a vendor's stall. Most of them were under the Fourth Order.

Ye Zhuozhuo lowered his head, skillfully grabbing a handful of medicinal herbs, and asked: "Can you give me the total price for these medicinal herbs?"

After all, their funds were limited. Furthermore, it would be much faster to create low grade medicinal ingredients. Therefore, they would have to choose some cheap ones first.

The vendor glanced at them and saw that they were all cheap level 2 medicinal ingredients. He waved his hand and said, "Take them away for a total of 50 gold coins."

"Thirty gold coins." Su Xiruo suddenly spoke out a haggling price. It was roughly evident at a glance that these dilapidated medicinal ingredients were not worth fifty gold coins at all.

The stall owner was immediately displeased. "That won't do. I've worked hard to gather them for two days. Thirty gold coins and I've lost!"

Of course, Su Xiruo understood the thoughts of this evil merchant, he took his time and pulled Ye Zhuozhuo along, and prepared to leave: "Shining, then we'll go somewhere else to take a look."

"Wait, wait!" Sure enough, in less than a second, the stall owner had compromised, "Alright, 30 gold coins will do!"

Only then did Ye Zhuozhuo count out thirty gold coins from his money bag and gave it to the vendor. There was still more than thirty gold coins left.

The budget was limited, so he could only be a little shabby right now.

Su Xiruo saw the helplessness in Ye Zhuozhuo's eyes, and said: "Just you wait, Ling Xi and I will go to Duel Yard to earn more gold coins for you, that way, we can exchange for more ingredients."

"Yes." Ye Zhuozhuo was rather optimistic, in his heart he had full confidence in the two of them.

"Yo, you guys want this kind of low-level trash? Why did he stay in the Heavenly Ranked Class Three for a few days and become like this?" Suddenly, an ear-piercing voice entered his ears.

Ye Zhuozhuo lifted his head. It was none other than Gu Wanyun and his Divine Ranked Class Two and Su Biyue was actually standing together with them.

"Hey, Gu Wanyun, what do you mean?" Ye Zhuozhuo immediately replied back, "I'm here to buy some medicinal herbs, do I need your advice?"

This Gu Wanyun, she must be sick of eating, right? To be mocked by her when she came to buy medicinal ingredients herself, just thinking about it makes her angry!

Gu Wanyun came up and sized them up, "Ling Xi, it's fine if you mix with Su Xiruo, but you even want to mix with this. In my opinion, your Heavenly Ranked Class Three is really not good enough!"

"I heard that your Heavenly Ranked Class Three is lacking a doctor. This Ye Zhuozhuo, could he be the doctor that you brought here to save the situation?" Qin Zichen also added fuel to the fire by the side, laughing sarcastically.

Ye Zhuozhuo's fingers curled tightly together, he really wanted to go up and slap her. But then, with a smile, he said to Gu Wanyun: "Isn't this the result of my defeat? "It looks like I was too gentle during the Trial. How did your injuries heal so quickly?"

He purposely raised his voice so that everyone around him could hear.

Gu Wanyun's face was flushed red, he was most afraid of being mentioned. After all, losing to a new student was a very shameful thing, and furthermore, this new student was actually so arrogant!

"Su Xiruo, shut up. You were just lucky last time!" Gu Wanyun was flustered and exasperated, he wanted to make a move on the spot, but was stopped by Su Biyue.

"Big Sister Wanyun, don't be angry, if we were to fight here, it would violate the rules of the academy." After Su Biyue finished speaking, he even shot Ye Zhuozhuo and Su Xiruo a friendly glance.

Her eyes seemed to be saying, "Even if I'm in Class Two, I'm not in the mood to go against you."

With regards to Su Biyue's fake face, Su Xiruo felt disdain and coldly said: "Since fighting is not allowed here, then let's go to the Duel Yard!"

"What do you mean?" Gu Wanyun was obviously feeling guilty, would Su Xiruo really fight with her again?
