The conversation between Yun Lintian and Bai Yun ended a few minutes later, and Yun Lintian went to take a rest before returning to treat Chu Mi.
The treatment process went smooth-sailing until there was not a single trace of the profound beast's blood left in Chu Mi's body. Yun Lintian then carefully used the Profound Spiritual Liquid to slowly expel Abyssal Energy out of her body bit by bit.
An hour later, Yun Lintian did the final check and was ready to wake Chu Mi up. The moment he retrieved the silver needles and let her blood flow return to normal, Chu Mi's eyelids moved slightly before slowly opening.
"W…where is this place?" Chu Mi looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and uttered in confusion.
"This place is within the academy. We had returned from the forest two days ago…Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?" Seeing no other problems were occurring, Yun Lintian finally let go of the tension in his heart.
Chu Mi slowly regained her sense and tilted her head weakly toward Yun Lintian. "Brother Yun?… What happened to me?"
"It's a long story. In short, you had encountered a powerful profound beast and got captured by it. Everything is fine now… Also, congratulations. You've become a student of the Starry Hall now. " Yun Lintian explained with a smile. Yesterday, he heard Hong Wuya say he wanted to recruit the Chu's siblings into his hall. He was sincerely happy for them.
The information came too sudden. Chu Mi was stunned for a moment before regaining her composure and asked in disbelief. "Me? Become a student of the Starry Hall? Brother Yun, tell me I'm not dreaming right now?"
Naturally, Chu Mi understood what the hall student represented. The status between the hall student and the inner-court student was a world apart. Even though the academy kept advocating equality among the students, it could not deny a disparity was still there.
Being a hall student, Chu Mi would have much more opportunities as well as resources than others. Her practice progress would definitely become many times faster.
"Of course not. You are not dreaming… Since there's no problem with your body, I'll leave first." Yun Lintian was tired and needed some rest.
However, when he stood up and prepared to leave, Chu Mi suddenly grabbed his hand and said softly. "Thank you, Brother Yun."
Yun Lintian smiled and patted her hand slightly before leaving.
Chu Mi stared dazedly at Yun Lintian's disappearing back for a while and secretly vowed in her heart — one day, she would definitely become helpful for him.

A week passed by very quickly, and the result of the third test had come out. To Yun Lintian's surprise, the first place wasn't Qin Yiran as he had expected, but someone named Wang Jue. From the rumors, this Wang Jue was a younger brother of Wang Jun. It was another descendant of the Wang clan from the Central Continent.
As for the second place, it was surprisingly occupied by someone from Violent Gale Sect. This person had the surname Tian, full name Tian Ming. Of course, he wasn't related to Principal Tian in any way. He was hailed from the Sky Fall Nation's Tian royal clan. His other identity was a direct disciple of the current Violent Gale Sect Master.
Yun Lintian had no impression of these people before, but it was understandable. These top brasses naturally did not care about the knowledge test rankings. After all, it could not represent their abilities.
However, the third test was different. Not only did they could show their talents, but they could also establish their prestige in this way. That was why they would go all out in this round.
Naturally, Wang Jun chose to enter the Supreme Hall at the end of the event. Meanwhile, Tian Ming had actually entered the Sky Hall. As for Qin Yiran, Qin Yuyan, and Bai Qingyi, they chose to enter the Starry Hall, which surprised Yun Lintian a bit. Especially the two Qin girls.
During this week, Yun Lintian's life was extremely leisurely and boring. He would occasionally visit his Heavenly Cloud restaurant or read some books to kill time. Because he had to suppress his strength in order to enter the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm, he did not practice anything at all after returning from the Fallen Dragon Forest.
At this moment, Yun Lintian was sitting nearby a clear stream not far away from the Sky Courtyard with a bamboo fishing rod in his hand while his other hand was feeding Linlin a snack.
"You surely enjoy your rest, huh?" Suddenly, Han Bingling appeared behind Yun Lintian like a ghost and walked toward Yun Lintian before taking out a chair and sitting on his left.
Yun Lintian was accustomed to her sudden appearance already, as she would come here often during this time. He didn't look at her as he asked. "Why are you here again?"
"Why? You don't like this sister anymore?" Han Bingling put a pitiful expression on her face and lowered her head, looking extremely aggrieved like an abandoned young wife.
Yun Lintian was speechless and ignored her while thinking he would make her his woman one day and see whether she still dared to act like this. He wasn't a stone to have no emotion. He was a normal man with desires. Sometimes, he couldn't stand Han Bingling's tease and had the urge to push her down several times. It was just that his current strength wasn't enough to subdue her yet.
Seeing Yun Lintian didn't play with her, Han Bingling stopped joking and said. "You still haven't made a decision yet? Trust me, just join the Moonlight Hall. You wouldn't regret it."
Yun Lintian turned to her and said. "Why don't you give me a reason?"
"Don't you want to enter the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm? If you join the Moonlight Hall, you will automatically get the right to enter without any competition. Anyway, you are not really interested in the academy. There are no other places inconvenient than this. Don't you think so?" Han Bingling curled her lips. In fact, she could see Yun Lintian had made a decision a long time ago.. He probably wanted to get more benefits by doing this.
