When Wang Xiaoqiang was in the New Moon Illusion, in order to advance to the Immortal Sage Realm, he emptied the Pill Storage Room of the Moon Crescent Palace. To ensure the normal supply of pills for the disciples of the Moon Crescent Palace, he returned most of the leftover pills before leaving.

Thus, he had no pills left in his Sumeru Ring. For cultivation, he had to purchase them, and to upgrade quickly, he needed a large supply of pills.

He selected some Superior Pills, thinking that ten thousand gold coins would be more than enough, but it was far from sufficient.

This was the first time Wang Xiaoqiang experienced embarrassment while buying something. Dai Yu complained on his behalf, "Boss, your pills are too expensive, aren't they? We're paying with gold coins, please take a closer look."

"This student must be the new arrival, Wang Xiaoqiang!?" The boss ignored Dai Yu, focusing on Wang Xiaoqiang with a slight gleam in his eyes and said.

At Yueyang Academy, other than some princes and county princesses, the students didn't have gold coins. It was widely known that Wang Xiaoqiang won ten thousand gold coins in a literary duel against Long Yin; the boss had heard of it too. So when Wang Xiaoqiang pulled out ten thousand gold coins, the boss knew he was indeed Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Yes, that's me," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Classmate Wang Xiaoqiang, you know you get what you pay for. You chose rare Superior Pills, so of course, they are expensive. If you switch to lower-grade pills, you could get a whole cartload instead," the boss explained. "Even princes pay the same price for pills."

"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want to cause trouble for the boss, so he smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll reduce the quantity."

He tried to return a small portion of the pills.

At this moment, a young girl walked into the shop and smiled at the shop owner, saying, "Dad, I'm back."

She was a young girl of about thirteen or fourteen, wearing a white silk embroidered jacket with a red skirt and a sash in lake green around her waist. She looked neat and dashing, incredibly cute.

Her pretty and adorable face had arched eyebrows and a small mouth, both pleasing and petulant, with big eyes that were very lively and expressive, carrying a slightly mischievous smile.

If anything, she was a little chubby, but like a young willow just beginning to grow, the baby fat would naturally disappear as she grew older, turning into a graceful young lady. The baby fat only made her even cuter, especially with her chubby pink cheeks, like fine porcelain, irresistible to pinch.

"Yunyi, out of school now?" The shop owner glanced up at the girl and smiled kindly.

"Yeah!" The girl called Yunyi nodded and then glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang and Dai Yu, slightly surprised, "You both look new, are you new students?"

The shop owner said, "Yes, he's Wang Xiaoqiang."

"Oh, Wang Xiaoqiang, I've heard so much about you." Yunyi stepped forward, extending her hand to Wang Xiaoqiang with youthful vibrancy and elegance, wanting to shake hands.

"You flatter me. This is my sister, Dai Yu," Wang Xiaoqiang said modestly while introducing Dai Yu, reaching out to shake hands, feeling as if touching a smooth, warm jade, very comfortable. He asked, "Are you also a student at Yueyang Academy?"

"Yes, I'm Tian Yunyi. You new students will start classes tomorrow; by then, we'll be classmates." Yunyi happily said.

"Haha, is that so."

The thought of attending classes made Wang Xiaoqiang smile; he didn't expect to be in a classroom again, especially since he wondered what lessons there might be in cultivation.

Tian Yunyi glanced at the counter and, seeing the gold coins and pills, realized Wang Xiaoqiang was buying pills. She asked, a bit surprised, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you're buying so many Superior Pills!"

"Yes, but the money's not enough." Wang Xiaoqiang said sheepishly. "I have to return some."

"Uh, it's okay, just take them all," Tian Yunyi smiled kindly and said, "consider it a welcome gift."

The three others were all taken aback by this; Wang Xiaoqiang didn't expect such generosity from this young girl. He knew she was the daughter of the shop owner. Her words meant she could make such a decision, but he looked towards Boss Tian nonetheless,

Boss Tian regained his wits, seeing his daughter wasn't joking, he said a bit reluctantly, "Since Yunyi said so, take them all!"

"Thank you very much," Wang Xiaoqiang, in urgent need of pills, did not stand on ceremony but added, "However, consider the extra pills as borrowed. I'll repay in half a month."

Tian Yunyi waved her small hand, saying, "No worries, pay if you can, if not, never mind."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, storing all the selected pills into the Sumeru Ring.

"Let's go!" Dai Yu held onto Wang Xiaoqiang's arm, warmly leaning on his shoulder, pulling him out.

Their intimate gestures left Boss Tian and Yunyi stunned. Boss Tian shook his head and said, "Those two don't seem like siblings at all."

"Dad, don't talk nonsense, they're just close like siblings should be, right?" Tian Yunyi said.

"Yunyi, don't fool yourself," Boss Tian chided his daughter again, "Moreover, Yunyi, you were too generous today; those are Superior Pills, and you just gave them away..."

"He said he would repay," Tian Yunyi pouted, "Dad, you're so stingy!"

"You're generous, but what if he doesn't appreciate it?" Boss Tian said, curling his lip.

Tian Yunyi blushed, saying, "Dad, what are you thinking?"

"What? Didn't I see it right? You gave Superior Pills as a first meeting gift; you've never been so generous. You like Wang Xiaoqiang, right? Love at first sight??"

"Dad, you're really mistaken," Tian Yunyi pouted her little mouth and glared at her father, "Do you know, Wang Xiaoqiang won a literary duel against Dragon City's talented youth, Long Yin..."

"Yes, and?"

"Then imagine how high Wang Xiaoqiang's literary talent must be?!"

"It must be quite high," Boss Tian said disinterestedly.

"It's beyond high, it's extremely high," Tian Yunyi showed admiration, "Dad, you know, his poems have been circulating in our class, they're even more classic than the ones in our textbooks..."

"No way, at such a young age, can he really be that talented?" Boss Tian shook his head. "Besides, if he is truly that talented, why come to Yueyang Academy? He might as well start his own academy!"
