The high priest's tone was very gentle, but Gu Shengyin had a bad feeling.
"Linyin, you're drunk." He repeated this sentence again.
Gu Shengyin felt that she had completely let go of herself. "Teacher, you actually know if I'm speaking the truth or if I'm drunk, right?"
The high priest was silent for a moment, then flicked his sleeves.
Gu Shengyin only felt her vision darken as she fell into a familiar embrace.
The high priest looked at his little disciple lying in the crook of his arm and sighed inwardly.
He reached out a finger and gently tapped Gu Shengyin's forehead.
Some things were better forgotten.
Gu Shengyin, who was sound asleep, frowned uncomfortably and subconsciously snuggled into this familiar and warm embrace.
The high priest carried her back to the room and carefully covered her with a blanket. Then, he returned to the stargazing platform.
He looked at the full moon and slowly, one bite at a time, finished everything on the table.
The next day, Gu Shengyin woke up feeling refreshed. One of the obvious benefits of a top-grade wine like the Drunken Immortal Rain was that there wouldn't be any side effects after getting drunk.
But … she rubbed her forehead. She had clearly celebrated her teacher's birthday last night, but why couldn't she remember anything now?
She really shouldn't drink too much.
She asked the maids to prepare hot water. After a good bath, she went to the main hall.
The high priest was still sitting on the white jade platform. He had his own room, but every time Gu Shengyin saw him, it was in the main hall.
"Teacher." Gu Shengyin bowed.
The high priest asked, "You're awake. Do you feel unwell?"
Gu Shengyin shook her head and asked again. "I drank too much last night … I didn't do anything out of line, right?"
The high priest's expression didn't change. "You were very obedient when you were drunk. You fell asleep immediately."
Obedient? Did her teacher still think of her as a child?
Gu Shengyin was relieved. It was fine as long as she didn't make a fool of herself.
However, the system didn't remind him, so it seemed like nothing had happened.
Gu Shengyin put this matter aside.
Now, she had to start preparing for something else.
At the end of the year, it would be her eighteenth birthday. After that, the Young King Competition that was held once every five years in the Tianxuan Continent would begin.
Being the number one talent in the Tian Xuan Land, how could Cheng Linyin not participate in such a pageant?
If Cheng Lingyu hadn't interfered, Cheng Linyin's legendary journey would have started here.
The New King Competition was held once every five years, and the various empires would take turns to host it.
This time, it was the Vermilion Bird Empire's turn.
The Vermilion Bird Empire was located in the southernmost part of the continent. The empire worshipped the Vermilion Bird, the divine beast that controlled the flames of the south. Hence, it was called the Vermilion Bird Empire.
The Vermilion Bird Empire and the Tianxuan Empire were separated by a vast desert.
This meant that Gu Shengyin would not be able to see the Head Priest for at least a year after the Young King Competition.
By the time she returned, Cheng Lingyu would have already awakened her talent.
She went to see the Head Priest for this, hoping that he could keep an eye on Cheng Lingyu while she was away from the Tianxuan Empire.
The high priest frowned. "That's so troublesome. Why don't I just take care of it for you?"
Gu Shengyin paused and asked, "Teacher, can you erase the soul that has taken over my fifth sister without harming her?"
The high priest nodded. "I can try."
Gu Shengyin thought for a moment. "Not now. I'll have to trouble you to expel this person from my fifth sister's body in the near future."
The high priest was puzzled as to why Lin Yin didn't want him to do it now. However, he never cared about this kind of thing, so he didn't ask.
