Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Admire Her Teacher

If the original Taotie trapped inside their seal had somehow perished of old age or injuries long ago, then it was entirely possible within the laws of nature that a new, younger Taotie had already been reborn somewhere else in the vast world.

However, the one glaring detail that still deeply puzzled his mind was how a newly reborn Taotie could have apparently reached the matured Divine Beast Rank so incredibly quickly. Such an accelerated growth rate was almost completely unheard of in recorded history.

"Well, the absolute answer to your question should become entirely clear the moment you inspect the core seal." Ji Yuan stated calmly, breaking their train of thought. "You simply only need to check whether the ancient formations remain perfectly intact, or if something catastrophic has actually happened to the barrier."

"What Ji Yuan said is absolutely correct." Wei Shun nodded firmly in agreement, immediately stepping up to support Ji Yuan’s logical suggestion. "Instead of standing around making wild, ungrounded guesses here in the courtyard, we should simply go down to the trial world and inspect the seal ourselves."

Principal Qiao Wenhao slowly, heavily nodded his head. That was indeed the most direct, practical, and entirely reliable method to get to the bottom of the mystery.

"If that is all, I hope you can kindly excuse us for now." Ji Yuan suddenly said, executing a polite but brief social dismissal. "My student and I are in desperate need of some uninterrupted rest. We are both rather thoroughly exhausted after everything that has transpired over the last forty-eight hours."

As he spoke those words, his complexion intentionally looked just a fraction paler than usual, perfectly selling the illusion of deep spiritual fatigue.

Principal Qiao Wenhao and the surrounding teachers silently exchanged understanding glances. They could all clearly and vividly see the heavy traces of exhaustion lingering on Ji Yuan’s face. As for Bai Xifeng, although she maintained a calm and composed exterior, she also looked completely mentally drained after experiencing the chaotic, life-threatening events of the past two days.

After all, the two of them had just closely witnessed a mythical Beast King’s heavenly breakthrough, protected its vulnerable body from a literal army of greedy outside experts, and dealt with three terrifying Divine Beasts appearing one after another right on their doorstep. Even merely hearing a second-hand report about the incident was exhausting enough to make one’s head spin, let alone experiencing the terrifying ordeal firsthand.

"We completely understand your situation." Principal Qiao Wenhao said with an empathetic nod of his head. "You and Student Bai should go inside and rest properly for the time being. Once the chaos outside has completely settled down, we will formally summon both of you to the main hall again to ask for a more detailed report."

"Thank you for your understanding, Principal Qiao." Ji Yuan replied with a slight, respectful nod of his head.

Without saying anything further to disturb them, Principal Qiao Wenhao turned right around and promptly left the courtyard alongside the other senior teachers. Their heavy figures gradually disappeared down the winding mountain path, leaving the isolated Inscriber Division feeling beautifully peaceful, quiet, and completely still once again.

Bai Xifeng looked at Ji Yuan with open, unadulterated admiration shining in her eyes. She genuinely and deeply respected her teacher’s terrifying ability to lie so smoothly, effortlessly manipulating both the highly experienced principal and the senior teachers without showing even the slightest, most microscopic hint of nervousness.

Ji Yuan seemed to immediately notice her unwavering, intense stare.

"Why exactly are you looking at me like that?" Ji Yuan asked, raising a single eyebrow in mild amusement.

"Oh, it’s nothing..." Bai Xifeng hurriedly shook her head, innocence personified. Then, a massive, mischievous grin slowly spread across her face. "Well, since all the terrifying stuff is finally over and done with, I am officially going back to my room to get some rest."

She turned around on her heel and began walking away. However, after taking only several steps across the courtyard, she suddenly halted mid-stride and spun back around.

"Teacher Ji, do I still need to attend your class today?" Bai Xifeng asked, her eyes wide with desperate hope.

"No. You can take a formal break for the rest of today, but our classes will continue exactly as usual tomorrow morning." Ji Yuan replied smoothly.

"Yes! Absolute victory! I have no class today!" Bai Xifeng shouted happily, pumping her fist in the air.

Her entire mood instantly brightened up by a hundred degrees, all lingering fatigue seemingly vanishing. She waved her hand cheerfully at her teacher before skipping and hum-singing her way back toward her living quarters.

Ji Yuan watched her retreating, energetic figure and helplessly shook his head, a faint sigh escaping his lips.

This girl was indeed incredibly willful. After experiencing such a chaotic, history-altering incident, the very first thing running through her mind was not the legendary Beast King, the mysterious Divine Beasts, or even the literal army of peak cultivation experts that had just ruthlessly invaded the school grounds. Instead, she was profoundly delighted simply because she did not have to sit through a lecture for the day. He truly did not know whether he should laugh at her antics or sigh at her priorities.

....

After everything across the campus gradually settled down into a semblance of order, the administration finally lifted the heavy lockdown, allowing the students to freely leave their respective divisions and resume their normal daily activities.

Some of the students tried to ask the teachers about that, but the teachers vaguely avoided the topic. Some of the teachers told the students that they received a high-profile guest at that time and were afraid that the students might offend him. That was why the teachers did not allow the students to come out of their division.
