Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 197 - Misunderstanding



Bai Rouyun nodded her head. She was not too troubled with her stay in the Blue Water Institute. The class she attended did not matter much, as she found that what she needed right now was time to spend within the Gravity Tower.

When she got home during the evenings, she would bathe in a medical concoction that was poured into the bathtub, and she would slowly let her body absorb the energy and medicinal efficiency of the herbs that had been added to the water.

These herbs would stimulate and energize her body, allowing it to grow stronger at a rapid pace, while the Gravity Tower would put a strain on her body, allowing it to become more and more tenacious as time went by.

While she was still unable to bear the fierceness of her Qi, she could feel that she was not far off. Her body was being strengthened swiftly, and she could feel the explosive power that was hiding within it.

When she was within the Gravity Tower, she had been training some of her more used martial arts. She was not just sitting while slowly allowing her body to adjust to the heavy pressure; instead, she was forcing herself to move and train under such circumstances.

This not only helped her body have rapid progress, but it also helped improve her combat ability, and heightened her senses and agility.

Every night, after she had finished her medicinal bath, she would drag her exhausted body to bed. Li Moyun would be waiting for her, wrapping his arms around her waist and accompanying her to sleep within his embrace until the next morning, where she once again began her hell-like training.

The two did not spend much time together, most of the time they had was spent sleeping, but Li Moyun did not complain. He understood that the current situation was very unfavorable to Bai Rouyun.

Being unable to use her Qi was actually a very dangerous situation. If she used it, she would have to harm her body, and it might even bring with it some hidden dangers, as her meridians might not be able to withstand the pressure.

As such, he had told Mo Chu to follow her every move and ensure her safety. He was truly worried about her, and hoped that she would get better soon.

After she had found Xiao Hua and Xiao Mao, he felt a bit more at peace, but even so, he could not help but worry about her safety.

Bai Rouyun had left the office. She had been told to attend the first class the following day, and she had no reason to stay within the office for now.

Actually, the promotion to the first class had been extremely smooth. The headmaster even felt relieved when he had an excuse to advance her to this class.

He had initially wished to move her to this class, but she had been in the worst class due to her low cultivation base when she enrolled into the institute, and upgrading her class would likely result in a lot of pain and suffering.

However, she was the madam of the Eternal Shadow Palace, and she was not suitable to stay within the lower-ranked classes, so he, as the headmaster, was caught in a dilemma.

Now that she had declared her cultivation base to be so high, it was a good excuse to promote her, and he did not even check whether or not it was correct. He was scared of being disappointed.

The following day when the students appeared at the first-grade classroom, they found that there was a group of people whom they had never seen before.

They looked noble; not only their clothes, but also their aura was much stronger and royal than the average students.

When they tried to investigate the cultivation base of these experts, they could not sense anything; all they encountered was a deep black hole.

This phenomenon only occurred when there was a vast gap between the two experts in strength. Someone who did not have a high enough cultivation base would never be able to determine the accurate level of strength for the higher raked cultivators.

To their surprise, they found that Bai Rouyun was in the same position. They had known that her cultivation base was low, and that she was placed in the lowest-ranked grade before.

This was enough to give them an incredible feeling of pride and accomplishment. Even the Madam of the Eternal Shadow Palace was inferior to them.

However, now the woman had suddenly appeared next to them, in their class, and she was seemingly much stronger than what they had initially assumed.

This was a significant blow to many of the experts within the first grade, and their eyes could not avoid containing some grievances and displeasure.

The students looked at Bai Rouyun, who was standing next to these new unknown geniuses, and many began creating their own theories.

Most assumed that this new bunch of experts had been positioned at the Blue Water Institute by the Eternal Shadow Palace, and that they were merely bodyguards.

Their theory was not entirely wrong; they had come to the Blue Water Institute for the sake of Bai Rouyun, but not to be her bodyguards. They were aiming to use her as a means to get closer to Li Moyun, and while she was somewhat important, she was merely a tool.

Even so, neither Bai Rouyun nor the youngsters from the Saintly Cloud Sect decided to explain their situation.

If others wished to misunderstand, then that was their problem. In fact, assuming that these youngsters were the bodyguards of Bai Rouyun was beneficial for both of them.

Bai Rouyun would be getting more peace, as others would be extra careful to annoy her, and they would be able to pretend to be close to her, which could help them achieve their goals.
