Ten days later, after teaching Xiaxia some basic alchemy techniques, Wen Qingye came to the Celestial Essence Hall. Every student of Qig Mountain Academy had the opportunity to cultivate in this hall once every three months.
"Is that person Wen Qingye?"
"I think so. I've seen him at East Mountain."
"I heard Wen Qingye was a swordsman, but then Sister Xiangyang took his sword and gave it to Xia Moyu."
"For real? Sister Xiangyang snatched Wen Qingye's sword and gave it away?"
"It's absolutely true. A friend of mine from South Mountain told me."
...
Hearing the chatter around him, Wen Qingye frowned. He'd always had trouble accepting that Yann Xiangyang had taken his Ancient Moon Sword. But to think she'd actually given it away to someone else... A surge of anger rose in his heart at the thought.
Wen Qingye walked to the entrance of the Celestial Essence Hall and said to the Palace Guardian at the door, "I want to enter the Celestial Essence Hall."
