Lou Mu Yan used Silk-Mist Steps at its fastest and arrived in the cave where everyone had rested before.
The battle wasn’t over yet, and at this time, piles of Ice Krait Serpent corpses were everywhere. The students were practically exhausted as they dealt with the last wave of small serpents.
She quickly moved to Lou Mu Bai’s side when the others weren’t paying attention and waved her whip to help him behead a wave of small serpents that surrounded him.
Lou Mu Bai had taken the candy, that was from Lan Si, earlier with Lou Mu Yan so he still had more than half of his Elemental Energy left, which meant, compared to the others, he had it much easier. Only after seeing his younger sister return safely did his hovering heart gradually fall back into place.
“Done?” Lou Mu Bai asked Lou Mu Yan telepathically.
Lou Mu Yan and Lou Mu Bai killed the last batch of Ice Krait Serpents back-to-back, “Yep, it’s done!”
The battles of the rest were also coming to an end. Several students had practically exhausted their Elemental Energy and it was thanks to the help of Lan Si and the several teachers that they could survive the swarm of serpents.
When the last Ice Krait Serpent was killed, whether it was the Empire Academy Trial students or the Imperial Family Trial team, most of them were sitting on the ground panting and many were more or less injured too.
Yun Zi Mo walked straight to Lou Mu Yan with a touch of complexity in his eyes and asked: “You gave them those powdered drugs?”
“So what if it’s me?” Lou Mu Yan knew that Yun Zi Mo and Lan Si had both noticed that she had left earlier, but she couldn’t consider too much at the time. Though, if Yun Zi Mo mentioned it now, she inevitably would experience some trouble.
Yun Zi Mo’s eyes darkened, fell silent, then faintly said: “Nothing.” Then he turned directly around and walked not far away to sit and meditate to recover his Elemental Energy.
A sliver of surprise slipped past Lou Mu Yan’s heart. Yun Zi Mo’s brain wasn’t ill was it? But this was fine too. It saved her from having to explain to everyone.
Lan Si looked at Yun Zi Mo thoughtfully, then asked Lou Mu Yan: “Do you still have the powdered drug?”
Hearing Lan Si’s question, everyone in their cave cast their gazes towards Lou Mu Yan, and many people held complex emotions in their eyes.
If it weren’t for the powder that Lou Mu Bai and the others scattered that temporarily paralysed those waves of Tier 3 and 4 Ice Krait Serpents, they could still be fighting bitterly right now, or there could have even been some casualties.
The powdered drug’s effect was truly strong. Putting the fact that it was useful against Tier 4 Demonic Beasts aside, it could even be used in group attacks. If everyone carried some on them, next time, even if they encountered a group of Demonic Beast attacks, they’d still have confidence in escaping.
“There are still some more.” Lou Mu Yan didn’t hesitate and took out a part of the powdered drug she had in her interspatial ring and gave it to Lan Si.
Since knowing that she was coming to the Glacial Mountain Range, she had equipped herself with a lot of sleeping powder that she refined. Now that Lan Si asked for it for the other students, she would still give him this face. What’s more, in the first segment where everyone travelled together, they would experience both glory and loss as one.
Lan Si nodded with a smile: “Thank you! I’ll report to the Principal to compensate you after returning to the Empire.”
“No need!” Lou Mu Yan smiled indifferently. These powders weren’t worth a lot of money, so they might as well be used to buy people’s hearts.
Lan Si raised his eyebrow and with a gentle smile again: “Young Miss Lou sure is generous! Then we won’t be courteous.”
Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him and cursed secretly: “Fox!”
Lan Si asked Ji Xuan to redistribute the powdered drug that he obtained from Lou Mu Yan to everyone who participated in the Trial, “Put these powdered drugs away well. There are a lot of Demonic Beast packs in the Glacial Mountain Range. If you meet them again, this is also a means of saving your life.”
“Yes!” After everyone answered, some of them even looked at Lou Mu Yan apologetically. Their previous attitude towards her was too arbitrary.
Then Lan Si and the several instructors picked through the piles of Ice Krait Serpent corpses in the cave, dug out their Crystal Cores, and gave everyone a share.
Only after taking a rest in the cave for the night, when everyone’s physical strength and Elemental Energy returned to their peaks, did Lan Si and Yun Ji lead them on their way.

Along the way, many people’s attitudes towards Lou Mu Yan had changed a lot, and from time to time, some people would even strike up a conversation with her.
“We’ve arrived at the periphery, let’s take a break first. Once we enter here, we’ll be in the world where Tier 4 Demonic Beasts roam. Their cultivation base is similar to yours, so be vigilant at all times!”
When they arrived at a place where green plants grew, fresh flowers intertwined, and a forest that grew vigorously, Lan Si ordered everyone to rest.
Not all places in the Glacial Mountain Range were ice mountains. There was only daylight here, but in some places where the sun shone all year round, all seasons were practically like spring.
After resting for a while, they continued on their way. Except after only walking for not even two hours, they heard some fighting noises and the roaring of Demonic Beasts in the woods ahead.
Lan Si made a stop gesture, exchanged a glance with Yun Ji, then handed the students over to the several other instructors, before the two leapt in that direction.
Lou Mu Yan looked in that direction and telepathically spoke to Mo Yan, “Did the people ahead meet Demonic Beasts?”
It wasn’t far ahead, and if she spread her Mental Energy, then she could find out what was happening there, but there was a Demonic Sense that was super strong, where with one casual sweep, the Demonic Beast could know what was occurring a thousand li away, so she naturally knew to put it to good use.
“A group of humans and a Demonic Beast pack encountered each other, but it was solved quickly. The strength of that group is much stronger than your group.” Mo Yan laid on Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder and replied lazily.
Lou Mu Yan stroked her chin, and the corner of her lips rose into an arc. The group of people ahead should undoubtedly be the pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans.
Not long after, Lan Si sent a signal to continue ahead, so Ji Xuan rushed over with everyone.
After passing through the woods, one saw many Tier 3 and 4 Demonic Beast corpses lying in the open ground. There were some people sitting separately onclean grass, and they appeared to be a small team.
“You guys come to rest as well for a bit.” Lan Si pointed to a clean, open space to let the students of Yan’zhou Kingdom rest, while he, himself, stood with two middle-aged men to chat, seeming to be acquaintances.
Lou Mu Yan swept the two groups of people and a smile rose in her eyes, but she didn’t take the initiative to step forward. When she walked to the place Lan Si designated, and just as she was about to sit, there was a sound of surprise that entered her ears.
“Mu Yan!” When Ye Qing Han sat in his place to rest, he had heard that the students who participated in the Trial competition from Yan’zhou Kingdom also came. He only thought to glance over casually, but didn’t expect to see the beautiful, otherworldly, white-clothed woman in the crowd.
Lou Mu Yan stopped in her steps, turned her head, and smiled charmingly, “Qing Han!”
The familiar greeting between the two surprised everyone in the woods—especially the few women who had been sitting in the clearing as they looked at Lou Mu Yan with dislike in their eyes.
Ye Qing Yan patted the young woman beside him, then they stood up and walked towards Lou Mu Yan.
“Mu Yan, long time no see!” Ye Qing Yan was still dressed in his dark-pattered black robe with a rare smile on his handsome face.
Lou Mu Yan nodded, her eyes dyed with a smile, “Long time no see!”
“Elder brother, is she the elder sister Mu Yan you spoke of?” The sweet-looking and petite girl who stood beside Ye Qing Han asked with a smile.
“Yes, she’s Lou Mu Yan.” Ye Qing Han’s voice carried a bit of pampering, then introduced to Lou Mu Yan, “Mu Yan, this is my little sister, Ye Qing Le.”
“Elder sister Mu Yan, you’re so beautiful!” Ye Qing Le blinked at Lou Mu Yan with a natural familiarity. She didn’t know why, but just liked this woman, that her elder brother spoke of constantly, at first glance.
“Qing Le is also very beautiful!” Lou Mu Yan nodded and smiled cordially.
The friendliness of the girl opposite her didn’t appear to be fake, so a sense of intimacy was also birthed unconsciously in Lou Mu Yan’s heart. Perhaps this was simply fate.
