Chapter 54 - Lan Qianhua's Guarantee
The rays shining on the land from the dawn star, the birds chirping as the gentle cool breeze whistling made the environment full of beauty and spirituality
With the arrival of morning, the liveliness of outer sects began to revive as the disciples began to come out of their Dragon Caves one after another and began their respective activities.
In the Hundred Flowers Garden, Spirit Flower Peak.
Qin Yi and Xue Chan were discussing alchemy, and they suddenly stopped after seeing the woman they had been waiting for come.
They simultaneously stood up and gave her their respect.
"Greeting, Senior Sister Lan!"
"There's no need to be so polite. How's your work this month? Have you guys encountered any difficulties?"
Lan Qianhua asked the two of them with a gentle smile.
She inherited the character from her master; warm and gentle. However, she can be serious when it comes to flowers, especially if the flowers are the property of her master.
"Senior Sister Lan, don't worry, everything is going well. We tend the garden every day and take care of all the plants here with great care and concern."
Xue Chan answered the question confidently.
Before Lan Qianhua's arrival, she and Qin Yi decided to do an inspection first just to make sure that everything here was okay.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong in this garden; not even the grass was gone from here.
"That's good."
Lan Qianhua nodded as she was satisfied with Xue Chan's answer, which was full of confidence.
"Hmm?"
She suddenly stopped as she saw only the two of them here.
"I remember, I asked three people to tend this garden but I only saw you two. Where is the third one?"
Xue Chan immediately sweated upon hearing this question. She couldn't help but steal glances at Qin Yi and hoped that he would answer this question.
Qin Yi naturally noticed that. Therefore, he secretly gave her a wink as if to say 'calm down I will take care of this matter'.
Then, he turned to Lan Qianhua. With his incredible brain circuitry, he said eloquently.
"Senior Sister Lan, that guy named Lu Yun is quite lazy, this isn't the second time he's been late, and today is just one of his lazy days. I've warned him several times but he's replying with humiliation instead just because my cultivation base is lower than his..."
Xue Chan was instantly dumbfounded at Qin Yi's sudden babbling.
I thought you were gonna make a good excuse and leave nice words for Lu Yun, but it turned out...
This... is this alright?
She secretly looked at Lan Qianhua.
Contrary to her expectations, Lan Qianhua didn't seem bothered by Qin Yi's instigation as she said indifferently.
"You two seem to have a lot of grudges. That disciple named Lu Yun, I still remember him. Yesterday he also did the same thing as you today, he said you were always late and couldn't take care of the garden properly, that's why he always ended up cleaning your mess here."
Qin Yi, "..."
What the hell!
That guy is so shameless!
How dare he speak ill of me behind my back!
I should have given him 10,000 [Impurity] last night!
Blame me for being so merciful to that shameless guy!
Seeing Qin Yi's silly expression, Lan Qianhua's beautiful brows arched upwards and asked.
"So who should I punish between the two of you?"
"Cough,"
Qin Yi coughed as his face changed rapidly as fast as turning the page.
"Senior Sister Lan, I think it's only fair that the one who should be punished is the one who is not present at this time. Right, Sister Xue?"
He nervously turned to Xue Chan and this girl was unexpectedly covering her mouth while looking away to the side. She could hardly contain her laughter.
Qin Yi, "..."
Girl, you seem to be enjoying this.
Can't you at least conceal it?
Lan Qianhua shook her head. She then ignored the two of them then entered the garden and started to carry out her intention.
Qin Yi and Xue Chan didn't stay still either, they obediently went after her from behind.
About twenty minutes later, the three of them finally stopped.
Lan Qianhua's face appeared satisfied, then she turned to the two people in front of her and said.
"You two have done well. In fact, it exceeded my expectations. The heaven and earth materials here are not only growing healthy but also some are starting to branch off and it won't be long before their numbers will double."
Qin Yi and Xue Chan immediately looked at each other and smiled.
Even though they were confident in their work, they didn't expect that Senior Sister Lan would praise them directly.
After that, they hurriedly humbly cupped their fists and said in unison.
"This is what we should do, Senior Sister Lan."
"Alright, you guys don't need to be humble. Since everything in this garden is fine, I can feel relieved leaving it to the two of you and return to my exclusion. As for Lu Yun, I will demolish his work here and you two will have no choice but to work alone."
"I don't think this is a difficult task for you guys. The spiritual energy in this place is denser than the places you are used to cultivating, you can cultivate here while taking care of the plants. However, don't practice martial arts here because it may damage the plants here."
Lan Qianhua said long and wide.
She thought that his offer was not bad. Taking care of this garden was the same as getting a free opportunity to cultivate in a good place. These two should have no reason to turn down a good opportunity like this.
Qin Yi thought for a while then asked.
"Senior Sister Lan, may we study alchemy here?"
Lan Qianhua raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"You two are Alchemists?"
Qin Yi and Xue Chan's faces were slightly red in shame.
"Senior Sister Lan, we are still in the process of studying but recently we need to put a lot of our time into studying alchemy because the Apprentice Alchemist exam will be held two months from now."
Qin Yi said while scratching his head.
Lan Qianhua fell silent for a while before she said.
"You two can practice alchemy here but don't ever destroy or make the heaven and earth materials here your ingredients..."
Qin Yi and Xue Chan instantly shook their heads furiously. How could they dare to do that?
Lan Qianhua added, "In addition, if I find you doing well until the end of the mission, I will recommend you to the Wondrous Pills Peak regardless of whether you pass or fail the exam in two months."
Hearing this sentence, Xue Chan was immediately ecstatic.
For someone like her, who wasn't too confident to pass the Apprentice Alchemist exam, this was the best guarantee for her.
Therefore, she immediately thanked Lan Qianhua for giving her such a rare opportunity.
Qin Yi followed suit.
Although he was confident in his chances of passing the Apprentice Alchemist exam, having the assurance of entering the Wondrous Pills Peak wasn't bad at all.
Lan Qianhua didn't stay in the garden for too long, after she gave Qin Yi and Xue Chan some instructions, she immediately went back to where she was doing the seclusion.
After watching Lan Qianhua's figure disappear completely, Xue Chan couldn't contain her excitement anymore, she jumped up and down happily as she grabbed Qin Yi's shoulder.
"Brother Qin, did you hear what Senior Sister Lan just said to us? That is a guarantee! She promised us to enter the Wondrous Pills Peak two months later if we do well here. With that kind of guarantee, how could I not be excited?!"
Qin Yi could understand Xue Chan's feelings but at the same time, he also didn't quite understand why he could be this excited.
It was probably because he had never tasted the exam failure like her.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder, is the Apprentice Alchemist exam so difficult that Xue Chan was still insecure even after studying for approximately two years?
