"There were less casualties than if it was another group, you guys did a good job, Tian'er." Rong Jian praised everyone, although he was only looking at Shen Tianyu the entire time he spoke.

Noticing Ningwu Liushan's expression, Shen Tianyu also joined in the mood uplifting project. "Don't worry Senior brother, we'll come back with stronger reinforcements and see if we can find his body or any remnants we can bring back to his family." 

'Though it was the brat's own fault for panicking and thus ended up like that but Senior brother is too really nice to care for him despite that. Or should I say naïve? Sheltered? Or maybe I've been too tainted by the world and that's just how people their age are supposed to act?' As Shen Tianyu was having a minor existential crisis, she heard Ningwu Liushan answer her.

"Alright." He didn't deny Shen Tianyu's crude wording as none of them were really naively stupid enough to believe that young man would still be alive after hearing the... "event".

Luckily, the path back to the School was uneventful and they didn't encounter any news about the little town having been attacked or any other strange happenings. Once they were back at the School, they gave a brief summary to the teacher in charge of the missions, as they needed to give a reason why they abandoned the mission. Hearing their brief summary, the teacher's face darkened to a degree comparable to a burnt pot. All three groups were brought to the Principal's Office to give a more in-depth report. 

"Um... if we're going to explain everything that happened, can we record it or have some other important elders listen too? It'd take up time and energy to summon us repeatedly to re-explain the situation and we still need to pick another mission to complete, at least the two freshman groups." Shen Tianyu suggested when they arrived in front of the Principal and Vice-Principal. She had already met the Principal so, the other slightly balding man with a severe air ought to be the Vice-Principal. Honestly, she didn't want to waste her saliva and breath retelling the same story over and over when she had better things to do. Despite what others may think, she's really impatient in this aspect and dislikes repeating herself. Only a special few have the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to be forgiven when she repeats herself.

"What you said makes sense. Xiao Lu, call over the heads of the other departments and a recording orb." The Principal ordered the teacher that had led them over. He deferentially bowed and left the room to fulfill his employer's request.

"Why don't you guys have a seat while we wait." The Principal indicated to the sofas in the room. However, there was not enough space on them to accompany all of them. 

The ones who had been injured and were still recovering from injuries were naturally pushed to sit on the sofas. While the seniors and Shen Tianyu just stood nearby, leaning against the sofas or walls. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%E2%80%99s-courtesan-wife_%!d(string=11622167006444805)/returning-(2)_%!d(string=51251363807554844) for visiting.

Afterwards, there were no words exchanged between them as the serious air made it hard for others to joke around. The Vice-Principal also didn't seem like someone that would want to lighten up. 

When all the heads of the various departments were gathered and all the preparations were made, the groups started retelling their encounter with the freshmen groups going first. 

The Head Elders seemed to constantly be glancing at Shen Tianyu but she didn't know why as she had never met them before so she ignored their gazes in favor of the matter at hand. 

Once the seniors were done with their short iteration of how they came for backup, the room once again fell into a tense silence. The Head Elders that had been looking at Shen Tianyu every opportunity they got, while thinking they were being sneaky, were also holding their chins with a serious expression. Of course, as more experienced cultivators, they could come up with the same conclusions that Shen Tianyu had. There was something happening at Qiongqi Village, probably something big. 

The Vice-Principal turned off the recording orb, which was the perfect size to fit into his palm and looked at them gravely. "We understand the situation, we'll send some high level cultivators to investigate that place. It was our negligence for not noticing something was wrong with that place and allowed you guys to fall into danger. However, as per the rules of the School, you still must decide on a new mission to take on." 

"We understand, Vice-Principal. Since we don't have much time, we were planning to go pick out our new missions after this, if the esteemed elders no longer need us." Ming Yunyue was the undisputedly voted spokesperson for them so she was the one to speak up. 

The Vice-Principal nodded with a hint of approval before he looked at the Principal. The latter dismissed them and gave some superficial words of praise for their bravery and persistence and blah blah blah. 

The three groups left the Principal's Office and headed towards the Temple of Guan Yu.

"I didn't know the Chengyuan School had enough money to own a recording orb." Bai Yaoxuan commented in a low voice as she tugged on Shen Tianyu's sleeve. She was still considered a new arrival so a lot of the tools and equipment in this world were still unknown to her. She was aware her sense of money and the value of things might be a bit off especially considering her older sister seemed to be a bigshot that can throw rare items like confetti at a New Year's cleberation.

Shen Tianyu understood her meaning and began to explain in a low voice as they moved. Recording orbs were similar to jade slips but differed in their number of usages. Neither had a limit in how much they could record but a jade slip can only record one person's message and after it has been used, it will not be able to hold another person's message, though it can be viewed by a number of people. One must erase the previous message to reuse the jade slip. That's why cultivators prefer to use it like paperless letters.
