Xiang Beifei had already gone back—he had acquired the knowledge he wanted. Professor Guo had taught him everything he knew about the soul.
An Xiyu had been waiting outside the forest for them.
"This child has a bright future! His cultivation speed is obviously faster than yours, Xiyu, so you should grasp the opportunity!" Professor Guo remarked wistfully.
An Xiyu asked, "What do you mean by that, Professor?"
Professor Guo revealed a meaningful smile, "I saw you climbing the stairs that day."
An Xiyu's expression turned stiff.
"Ha-ha, I'm not completely oblivious to the outside world, I do occasionally go online. The people's choice—such a boy belongs to something... oh right, what they call online, a 'treasure boy'! Everyone is treasure hunting, but you have the 'pavilion by the water's edge', and just now you didn't even chat with him a bit more." Professor Guo said with weight in his words.
