"We are friends, Yang Wei." Meng Yan proudly proimed. "Friends always make sure they''ll suffer."


    Yang Wei was rendered speechless as he couldn''t help but agree with her words.


    True friends would always prank each other whereas fake friends would always try to be humble and be polite.


    "Sigh, I kind of regretted being your friend now." Yang Wei shook his head as he stood up.


    Afterward, he nced at the fiery expression from multiple disciples from different angles.


    Yang Wei turned around to face them all and said, "You can all emit your killing intents since I understand you''re angry at yourself for being useless in having a chance to be friends with Meng Yan."


    And he continued, "However, I shall warn you- don''t mess with me since I don''t know how to show mercy."


    Yang Wei exuded a cold aura as he threatened the disciples to not think of doing something stupid like ambushing him.


    He had kindly warned them and if they still disregard his kindness then Yang Wei wouldn''t mind putting them out of their misery.


    "Let''s go now, Meng Yan," Yang Wei then said as he exited the library.


    "So manly~'' Meng Yan giggled as she quickly followed after Yang Wei.


    Sometimeter, they arrived at the checkpoint for the inner disciple courtyard.


    "Outer disciples are not allowed in here." The guard said when he noticed Yang Wei approaching him.


    "He''s with me." Meng Yan intervened as she revealed her token to the guard.


    The guard sweated profusely when he saw the token as he quickly bowed down in reverence.


    "Apologies core disciple- I didn''t know he was with you." The guard said nervously.


    "It''s fine, just make way for us." Meng Yan waved her hand as she didn''t care about his attitude previously.


    The guard was simply doing his duty and it was technically Yang Wei''s fault for walking too fast.


    "Next time, let me walk ahead since I should be the one guiding you to my ce." Meng Yan then said as they walked into the inner disciple courtyard.


    Yang Wei nodded his head.


    "The inner disciple courtyard isn''t much different than the outer disciple courtyard." Yang Wei then said as he nced around the surroundings.


    There wasn''t anything special and the buildings looked exactly the same as his own courtyard.


    Meng Yan chuckled as she exined things to Yang Wei. "There isn''t much difference between the courtyard itself but it''s the status that matters."


    "Status is a crucial factor in the cultivation world and as you can tell- I practically owned the sect given my identity." She added.


    "You mean your identity as the princess of the Phoenix Kingdom." Yang Wei said as he exposed her so-called identity.


    Meanwhile, Meng Yan curved her lips upward as she nodded her head.


    "Mhmm, due to my status as princess, there is no one in this sect that can order me to do something I don''t want to do." Meng Yan shrugged her shoulders.


    "I was expecting you to deny your identity or say you''re someone else instead." Yang Wei was a bit surprised to see Meng Yan admitting her identity to him.


    After all, he was merely doing an educated guess and if Meng Yan denies it then there was nothing he could do about it.


    "You say the dumbest thing sometimes, Yang Wei." Meng Yan said as she waved her hand to dismiss the guard for the core disciple courtyard checkpoint.


    "I never tried to hide my identity nor status from you and I''m even inviting you to my ce."


    "That''s correct but aren''t you afraid that I might have some insidious plot against you."


    Meng Yan halted her movement suddenly as she turned around and stared at Yang Wei.


    "Why should I be afraid?" Meng Yan teased as she walked closer to him. "Are you going to thrust my body with your mighty dragon?"


    Yang Wei staggered as he took a few steps back. "You shouldn''t be talking about something like that as a princess."


    "Tch, if you have the guts to do so then, by all means, go ahead." Meng Yanughed as she turned around. "After all, you should be prepared to take responsibility for your actions."


    Sometimeter, after many walking, Meng Yan arrived at her own ce that seemed to be a pce itself.


    The building was constructed in a majestic aura and Yang Wei could see the formation surrounding the ce.


    "Hehe, are you jealous of my living quarters?" Meng Yan teased as she saw Yang Wei staring in a daze.


    "Not jealous- just surprised by the amount of resources used to build these magnificent buildings." Yang Wei shook his head.


    He was never the type to indulge himself in luxurious things and prefer the most basic.


    As long as one can sleep in a ce then Yang Wei wouldn''t mind living there. It was just like how he slept in an alley when he first arrived at the Phoenix Kingdom.


    "Is that so?" Meng Yan was surprised by Yang Wei''s attitude in her living quarters.


    She decided to disregard teasing him and instead, unlocked the formation around the building as she guided Yang Wei inside.


    It didn''t take long before Meng Yan brought Yang Wei to her living room and asked him to take a seat down.


    Yang Wei sat down and nced at the luxurious items in the room. There was jewelry everywhere and what surprised him the most was the jadeite rock collection hanging on a shelf.


    "I didn''t know you had a hobby of collecting jadeite rock." Yang Wei said in surprise.


    Meng Yan smiled as she poured some tea for Yang Wei. "Well, those are what I won in the gambling rock contest."


    Yang Wei raised an eyebrow as he sipped some tea. "Seems like rich people really have their own set of games to pass time."


    "How about we have a game of chess?" Yang Wei then suggested. He wanted to have some rxing time before tomorrow''s exam begins.
