Bai Ling and Yuanmo were both overjoyed to see Wang Zong'an. After all, since Wang Zong'an had left the Academic Palace, it had been nearly fifty years since they last t.
In fact, even before leaving the Academic Palace, Wang Zong'an had already revealed his identity to them. Seeing him now, aside from their surprise, they were also filled with emotions.
Who could have thought that the "7th-rank Aristocratic Family" ntioned by junior brother Zong'an would turn out to be the rapidly rising "Changning Wang Clan" of recent years?
Everyone knows that Wang Zong'an, the heir of the Changning Wang Clan, has been stationed in Qingluo Guard City for years and has beco a significant figure. Even the City Lord of Qingluo Guard listens to him. The "junior brother Zong'an" from back then is no longer on the sa level as them.
Especially for Senior Brother Yuanmo, he felt no jealousy toward Wang Zong'an whatsoever. After all, their social statuses and strengths were worlds apart, making comparisons aningless.
Compared to that, Senior Sister Bai Ling was much more composed.
After all, even though she had admired Wang Zong'an back in the day, she hadn't harbored much hope and thus wasn't too disappointed.
Now, seeing Wang Zong'an again, she simply felt delighted and imdiately bowed respectfully, smiling cleverly, "Given the status of Young Clan Leader Zong'an now, I dare not accept your calling 'senior sister.' Just call Bai Ling~"
Yuanmo also respectfully perford a bow.
In the world of Profound Martial, strength dictates heroism. Unless they are from the sa clan or have formally beco sworn brothers through a ceremony, precedence is given to those with greater accomplishnts, regardless of their seniority in school.
However, although strictly following the etiquette, Bai Ling didn't appear at all distant from Wang Zong'an; instead, she enthusiastically invited him to revisit the feeling of old tis under the Longevity Tree.
However, Wang Zong'an had urgent matters at hand and didn't agree.
After chatting casually for a few monts, they soon parted ways due to their respective commitnts.
After parting, Wang Zong'an continued towards the depths of Changchun Valley, led by Feng Qiushan.
The residence of Senior Sister Green Fern was nad "Rose Pavilion," because its courtyard was filled with roses.
Back when Wang Zong'an studied in Changchun Valley, he had also been inside. The actual space used for living and cultivation inside was very limited; most of it had been transford into research labs, specifically for biological research, on a notably large scale.
Many of Changchun Valley's research outcos, such as the new Insecticide Powder, were born here in the "Rose Pavilion."
Even many of his father's breeding achievents were discreetly credited under the na of Senior Sister Green Fern.
At this ti, the roses were spectacularly in full bloom. From afar, Wang Zong'an could already see the cloud-like, beautifully blooming red roses outside the Rose Pavilion.
Core disciple Feng Qiushan, who led Wang Zong'an, quickly stepped forward, intending to enter and make the announcent.
However, before he could walk into the Rose Pavilion, a figure zipped past him with a "whoosh," so fast that he had no ti to react.
Behind him, Wang Zong'an raised an eyebrow and swiftly stepped aside to let the figure pass.
At the sa ti, a clear female voice ca from deep within the Rose Pavilion, "There's still one experint not finished, Junior Brother Jinshan. You owe so much money, and the experint isn't finished yet, and you thought to run away?"
Before the sound died down, a green rose vine shot out from the Rose Pavilion and instantly caught up with the fleeing figure, then wrapped him up tightly and hung him in the air as if flying a kite.
"Senior sister, please let go~ Oh, Zong'an, it's actually you~"
"Zong'an, Zong'an, save !"
It turned out that the person strung up in the air was Senior Brother Jinshan. His clothes were torn by the roses vines, leaving him looking quite wretched.
Beneath his pitiful cries, Wang Zong'an could only sweat from his forehead.
Today's Senior Brother Jinshan, reportedly now a Heavenly Human Realm Elder, was still unable to escape the clutches of Senior Sister Green Fern. Ah! What a pity to behold~
"So it's Zong'an who has co, co in," said Senior Sister Green Fern from inside the Rose Pavilion.
"Um... Senior Brother Jinshan, you supposedly never lacked money," Wang Zong'an coughed and asked with so sheepishness, "Why would you sell yourself to Senior Sister Green Fern? You do know her experints..."
"Well, it, it's just... I ran out of money."
Upon hearing Wang Zong'an's question, Senior Brother Jinshan looked as if he was asked sothing embarrassing, dodging eye contact and stamring in response.
"Zong'an, he did it to buy the Spiritual Plant Transformation Pill for his Level Five 'White Jade Spiritual Peony,'" Senior Sister Green Fern's voice rang out, "Junior Brother Jinshan, better just accept your fate."
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Jinshan," Wang Zong'an chid in upon hearing Senior Sister Green Fern, rembering the White Jade Spiritual Peony, and said with a bowed smile, "Though the process was tough and you have accumulated so debt, you've finally fulfilled a long-held dream."
"Congratulations my ass~~~" the bound Senior Brother Jinshan's face stread with tears of inexplicable sorrow, "Wu wu wu~~ my White Jade Spiritual Peony, it, it actually transford into a male!"
A male?
Wang Zong'an was initially stunned but soon couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
Logically, most spirit plants are hermaphroditic and can transform based on their own understanding of gender.
Most spirit plants cultivate a gender identity that aligns with their cultivator's will during their nurturing, then transform into the corresponding gender. Situations like that of Senior Brother Jinshan appeared to be exceptionally rare.
