There was still some time before the following week, so the things that needed to be done still had to continue.
Before doing anything else, Zhou Yan first handled his own affairs. He returned to Ziwei Academy and spent a day catching up on months of academic studies.
Intelligent people didn't need much time to learn knowledge. Zhou Yan was the type of person at Ziwei Academy who just went through the motions.
The key was that he was still the strongest person in the entire school while just going through the motions, which made Zhou Yan quite helpless.
It wasn't long before the end of this semester, but Zhou Yan wasn't in a hurry at all. For him, he could skip grades as he wished among the disciples of Ziwei Academy. For someone like him, the assessments were no longer necessary.
"Zhou Yan, Elder Chu Luoyan is looking for you," Teacher Leng Yue came to the outside of Zhou Yan's villa.
Zhou Yan hadn't expected Chu Luoyan to look for him.
Although Zhou Yan didn't have a very good impression of Chu Luoyan at first, and this woman had even hit him before, Zhou Yan was quite grateful to her for saving him with all her might last time.
But Zhou Yan seemed to have said that once he became powerful, he would definitely get revenge, right?
He was a person who always kept his word.
This time, she actually sent Teacher Leng Yue to relay a message asking for his help. Didn't this opportunity for revenge come?
If she hadn't looked for him, Zhou Yan would have truly forgotten about Chu Luoyan, but since she had come knocking on his door, it would be unreasonable for him not to act.
"Teacher Leng Yue, please come in." Zhou Yan was very grateful to Teacher Leng Yue. Teacher Leng Yue was not only his practical combat teacher during his apprenticeship but also his friend.
Last year, she had stayed at the academy and taken him to participate in the arena challenges.
After Leng Yue walked in, Zhou Yan offered her some Immortal Spirit Enlightenment Tea. Upon seeing the tea leaves, Leng Yue's eyes widened in shock. "You brat, you really are rich. You can just take out something like this."
Leng Yue was not polite and poured it for herself. After drinking it, her mind became much clearer, and her understanding of her cultivation realm deepened significantly.
Zhou Yan directly took out a large bag and said, "This is for you, no need to be polite."
Leng Yue: "... (⊙ _ ⊙;)"
Indeed, poverty limited Leng Yue's imagination.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. You fellow, you truly have many good things." Leng Yue put the gift away and said, "It's been a long time. It's been quite peaceful lately. What are your plans next?"
"What other plans could I have? Continue doing business, of course. However, the business going forward must expand to other worlds and not be confined to my own world," Zhou Yan said.
"Oh, other worlds. Didn't you go to the Myriad Realms Lord Continent? You should have no major problems there, unlike us. We have to be cautious and careful when we go to the Myriad Realms Lord Continent," Leng Yue said.
"Isn't that simple? If Teacher Leng Yue is in danger, just say the word, and I'll definitely come to save you," Zhou Yan said.
"You said it yourself. I really need to go to the Myriad Realms Lord Continent, and I truly don't have much confidence," Leng Yue said.
"Do you need my help?" Zhou Yan asked.
"I can't trouble others for everything. Unless I'm truly in danger, I won't ask. My connections are quite good, and there are definitely many people who want to save me, hahaha~~~"
Although Leng Yue said this casually, her connections were indeed numerous. As long as she asked for help, there would be plenty of people at Ziwei Academy willing to assist.
Zhou Yan curiously asked, "Chu Luoyan is looking for you for help. It must be no small matter, right?"
Given Chu Luoyan's usual demeanor, if it were a simple matter, she would have resolved it herself. This matter must be very difficult, otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of Zhou Yan.
"How would I know? I'm just relaying the message. But I think Elder Chu Luoyan must have thought about it for a long time before seeking your help. You won't refuse, will you?"
Leng Yue didn't think Zhou Yan would refuse to help, after all, Zhou Yan was quite enthusiastic.
"Let's go and see. After all, I'm not a god, and I can't solve everything," Zhou Yan replied.
"Also, help me with a small matter," Leng Yue said.
"Go ahead."
Leng Yue took out a piece of paper with a list of over a dozen materials and said, "These materials are very rare, and I couldn't find them. I can only ask for your help. But don't give them to me for free. If you do, I won't dare to ask for your help next time."
Zhou Yan took a look. These materials were quite rare, but for him, they weren't considered very rare.
"Alright, we'll trade at market price," Zhou Yan replied.
"Okay. I know you have a passion for architecture, so I've specifically prepared some buildings to trade with you this time."
After speaking, Leng Yue took out dozens of buildings, ranging from S-grade to RRR-grade. It was evident she had been searching for a long time.
Zhou Yan didn't refuse and accepted everything. He asked about the quantity. Leng Yue wanted quite a lot, likely for upgrading some advanced buildings.
Zhou Yan definitely had them. Besides, Teacher Leng Yue rarely asked him for help, so he certainly wouldn't refuse this small matter.
After trading the items with Leng Yue, Leng Yue transferred the remaining difference in spirit coins to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan definitely gave her a discount, but not too much, as he didn't want Leng Yue to be hesitant to ask him for help next time.
Leng Yue was his mentor and friend, and it was rare to have such a congenial teacher as a friend at Ziwei Academy.
After their conversation, Leng Yue left the villa. Zhou Yan then headed towards Chu Luoyan's residence.
Zhou Yan naturally knew where Chu Luoyan lived and soon arrived at her location.
"Come in," Chu Luoyan's residence was a small world. After the gate opened, it revealed an entire world.
This world was the Asura world. The next time Zhou Yan saw Chu Luoyan, he could tell that she wasn't purely human, but a mixed-blood. She was likely a hybrid of the human race and the Asura race.
There were many such races, so it wasn't strange.
Zhou Yan immediately noticed that Chu Luoyan's current condition was somewhat abnormal. He said, "Your condition is not right. What is this energy? It seems to be constantly devouring your soul..."
Zhou Yan was surprised. He immediately saw that Chu Luoyan's situation was extremely abnormal and stepped forward, unleashing his powerful spiritual energy to seal that energy.
However, what shocked Zhou Yan was that this energy was incredibly powerful. Even his spiritual energy couldn't seal it. This energy was terrifying and immensely strong, making Zhou Yan feel that it was quite troublesome.
"I've approached the Principal, and they've all made a move. No one in the academy could force it out of my body. The Principal told me to find you, saying you might have a way to solve it. It seems you can't either."
Chu Luoyan's condition was indeed dire. If this energy couldn't be expelled from her body, she likely wouldn't live much longer.
