Three months later.
Jia Nan Academy, Outer Court.
The addition of the little dragon girl Zi Yan to their small group surprisingly did not change much of Han Yuan's plan to stay in the Jia Nan Academy.
Then again, this is mostly because Zi Yan quickly became best friends with Qing Lin. As soon as they met, they got along right away.
Maybe because Qing Lin is an innocent girl who also possesses the Magical Beast's bloodline, being a hybrid of snake-woman and human herself.
On contrary, Zi Yan wasn't as close to Xiao Yixian and Gu Xun'er.
The little dragon girl always felt these two were dangerous, which triggered her flight and fight instinct many times.
Of course, Xiao Yixian and Gu Xun'er never truly expose themselves.They simply want to scare Zi Yan for their amusement, which led to the little dragon girl being wary of them.
Watching Zi Yan jump in fright has become their source of amusement for a few weeks now.
Zi Yan: I know you two have bad intentions toward me, but I can't prove it!
While Zi Yan is wary of Xiao Yixian and Gu Xun'er, she somehow appears or tries to be cute and docile toward Han Yuan, mainly because he was the source of her delicious pills.
Zi Yan also tries to act coy, but she doesn't have the assets to move Han Yuan.
Still, slowly but surely, Han Yuan got used to this smug little dragon girl and started to treat her better.
Likewise, Zi Yan also started to open up to Han Yuan, sometimes bringing him to the Inner Court.
As for why they were in the Inner Court, Zi Yan obviously brought Han Yuan along to do some treasure hunting in the Inner Court's treasury.
In Zi Yan's own words, they aren't stealing, and simply allocate the unused medicinal ingredients to good uses.
Surprisingly, the Inner Court said nothing about this and simply let it happen.
Well, let's just say that Zi Yan's repeating offender, and Su Qian being her guardian make it easier for her to steal, cough, I mean, borrow some resources.
Still, now that Han Yuan was involved, Su Qian briefly warned him instead not to be overboard with the hoarding.
Yes, the power of close connections is really powerful in this one, and Han Yuan didn't hate it.
Yet, neither Zi Yan or Su Qian realized Han Yuan wasn't that interested in the resources the little dragon girl stole for him to turn into medicinal pills.
To Han Yuan who obtained the legacy of the Misty Mountain Sect and Murong Clan, this amount of precious medicinal herbs is nothing. He only thought of it as mere side amusement.
After all, he has mountain ranges rich in the energy of heaven and earth to grow them in no time.
In fact, Han Yuan already planned to grow Immortal Herbs in the Misty Mountain Range.
Even though there are basic differences between the two planes, as long as the rules of heaven and earth are similar, Dou Qi Continent should be able to grow Immortal Herbs.
Well, that was the plan for the future.
At the moment, Han Yuan only wanted to enjoy his slow academy life while scouting for talent in the Outer Court.

Sunlight reached down to the open field where various young students gathered and faced a Dou Grandmaster Professor who taught them how to master the flow of Dou Qi correctly.
Although such a basic thing has been taught back at their homes, the Professor still insisted for them to learn about it more and master it as if it were a second instinct.
Han Yuan yawned while sitting on the ground, watching others doing their own exercise.
He has already grasped the full mastery of Dou Qi flow. While the Douluo Plane might be a bit too undeveloped in meridians and things, they are not ignorant either.
It is just that people are so focused on getting super powerful spirit skills and honed those instead.
Unknown to Han Yuan, the fangirls in his class are fawning while watching him from afar.
"Han Yuan is so handsome, oh my God! We are so lucky he entered class this time!" said Girl A.
"Yeah, he usually only attended one class a week, so lucky! Hehe, this is a treat for the girls!" added Girl B while giggling happily.
Girl C daydreamed, "Ah, I wish Han Yuan can be my boyfriend, we can hold hands and have kids-! Kyaa~!"
The other girls started at Girl C and then clapped their hands secretly, such a delusional girl.
Jumping from holding hands to having kids is straight-up degenerate, I acknowledged you as the most delusional Han Yuan's fangirl of them all.
Of course, the boys aren't happy. They felt unlucky to be in the same class as Han Yuan because they not only can't show off their mights, but the girls' eyes are also always on him.
'Han Yuan, you already have beauties like Xiao Yixian, Gu Xun'er, and Qing Lin on your side! Leave the other girls alone for God's sake!'
'Yes, yes, give some of us chances, too, motherfucker!'
'Damn it, handsome guy should just die and explode!'
Then again, the boys could only dare to voice these things in their minds. They knew they couldn't afford to offend Han Yuan.
When the class was over, Han Yuan stood up and waved at the Professor and then left quietly under several admiring and envious gazes of his fellow students.
Honestly, Han Yuan actually doesn't need to attend any classes with his qualification and could even teach a class of his own, but to maintain some formalities, he still attended some of the classes he thought were interesting.
A young girl in a red dress approached Han Yuan and asked with a smile. "Han Yuan, are you done with your class? Why don't we have lunch together at cafetaria, my treat!"
Han Yuan blinked his eyes and smiled in exchange politely, "I'm sorry, Hu Jia. I have already promised to Yixian and others that I would have lunch with them at our dorms."
"Maybe next time?" He continued.
The bold girl who enthusiastically asked Han Yuan to lunch is actually the disciple and granddaughter of the Deputy Grandmaster, Hu Gan.
At first, Hu Jia actually hated Han Yuan because he hogged beautiful girls like Xiao Yixian, Gu Xun'er, and Qing Lin alone. Yes, she is indeed that kind of girl, and her reputation is famous for being a Tiger Girl.
However, all that changed when Hu Jia challenged Han Yuan and then lost miserably.
Han Yuan doesn't know what happened to this girl after that, but she changed her target from girls around Han Yuan to Han Yuan himself.
Hu Jia was visibly disappointed that Han Yuan rejected her again, but she also felt a thrill for being treated this way for some reason.
She bit her lips, "I-I see…"
"Then, let's have lunch together next time."
After saying that, Hu Jia left decisively with an embarrassed face. Han Yuan stared at her back and then shook his head helplessly.
He also left and reached the dorm in no time, where the girls had gathered around the lunch table.
"Ah, you're here!" Zi Yan said with a mouth full of meat.
"..." Han Yuan.
"When I said feel free to act as if this is your own home, you really take it seriously, huh?"
"What did you say?" Zi Yan focused all her attention on her food.
Qing Lin laughed, "Hehehe, Zi Yan, you look like a squirrel right now!"
Xiao Yixian and Gu Xun'er laughed as well and then helped Han Yuan fill his plate up, stacking them like twin towers.
Han Yuan sat down and heaved a sigh with a small smile, "Well, I guess this is my slow academy life."
