Chapter 39: Strip
The Council Hall was found next to the Enlightenment Hall and nestled against a mountainside. Serene and peaceful, it was where the instructors handled all teaching-related work. Over a dozen detached courtyards lay within the Council Hall; each of them distinctively different from one another in terms of style. They were spaces where an instructor could prepare for their classes and handle all matters concerning their students without being disturbed.
Wei Yuan followed Ji Liuli into the Council Hall. He watched as she walked up to a courtyard, removed the nameplate with the name “Xu Henshui” on it, and stepped through the door. He felt more certain than ever that the original instructor of Dao Foundation Theory was Xu Henshui. He wondered who exactly was this Big Senior Sister Liuli to be able to cause such a scene without eliciting a punishment or even a reaction from the higher-ups. That said, he didn’t doubt that she was capable of teaching the class. The fact that she threw Xu Henshui out of the entrance gate in one move more than proved her capabilities.
The courtyard was tastefully arranged, with a set of exquisite teaware sitting on a stone table and a cluster of orchids planted in a corner. Wei Yuan didn’t know what types they were, only that they were both beautiful and fragrant. The rooms of the courtyard were similarly furnished, and many of the objects bore an orchid symbol. They were clearly the personal belongings of Xu Henshui.
Despite this, Ji Liuli rummaged through the place as if she owned it. She showed no reservation whatsoever.
She opened a pot of tea leaves bearing an orchid symbol, brewed it with a teapot bearing an orchid symbol, and poured the tea into three cups bearing an orchid symbol. She then drank them all in three gulps and let out a deep sigh of satisfaction. The whole room was instantly filled with the aroma of tea.
“An excellent brew!” Ji Liuli praised before looking at Wei Yuan. “Unfortunately, the amount of tea leaves is limited, and you’re not yet at the age where you could appreciate such things. So, I shan’t be sharing it with you.”
With that said, she brought out a large barrel from somewhere and placed it at the center of the house. Two-thirds of the barrel was instantly filled with clear water when she pointed a finger at it. She then produced a small bottle and poured an emerald green droplet into the barrel. It instantly turned the whole barrel of water green and caused it to steam profusely.
“Take off your clothes and get inside,” Ji Liuli ordered.
Stunned, Wei Yuan turned a shade of deep red and squirmed on his feet, “I… don’t think…”
