Chapter 958: Meeting the Three Brothers
The Yue Family was shocked by the effect of the Wisdom Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. They had never expected that even God’s Legacy can be transformed into a fruit by the Tree of Knowledge. No wonder it was called the Legendary Tree. However, this tree had nothing to do with them right now. Even though they knew this tree existed they didn’t have any plans of fighting over it. After all, they know it was something the divine doctor owns and they knew who the current Divine Doctor is.
With their eldest daughter owning the Tree of Knowledge there is nothing to worry about. There is that man staying by her side to protect her. According to the latest news from the Immortal Thunder Emperor, Lei Yuye, the one staying by their eldest daughter’s side and protecting her was none other than the Immortal Sun Emperor. This is one of the strongest emperor realm cultivators in the Immortal World even if he had just recently been reborn to his current body.
The Everlasting Moon Empress asked, "Xiao Ji, Ruru, why did the academy suddenly give you three days vacation?"
"This... we also don’t know the reason. The principal had suddenly announced that all students had to be out on that day and even those who came from a far place, the academy had found an inn for them," Yue Jixia said.
Yue Ruxia added, "The whole Black Cloud Academy was closed off after all the students were sent away and only the teachers had remained. They said there is a huge renovation that is mandatory to be repaired. Maybe it’s some kind of gas leak or something?"
"No. Things wouldn’t be that simple. Something must have happened which involved only the teacher. This is most likely a faction war," said the Crown Prince. "Three days is enough to handle this situation especially if someone powerful has gotten involved."
Yue Leiya said, "Ji’er, Ru’er, Xue’er must have reached the Black Cloud Academy to find her master."
Once everyone heard about this, they were all delighted, especially the Twin Princess, Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia. They have been missing their eldest sister after being reborn in this world. The last time they had seen her was when they were still in that mortal star. They’ve even died there without even being able to say goodbye to her. Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia were young adults in their current bodies right now. They looked close to how they looked before they had died in the Exiled Star. The only difference is that they now look the same age with Yue Jixia being the elder twin and Yue Ruxia, the youngest twin.
Yue Jixia said, "Let’s go back to the academy, Ruru!"
"Yes, Erjie!" Yue Ruxia said equally happily as her second sister.
Mama Yue, the Everlasting Moon Empress stopped the twin. "You two are not going anywhere! Isn’t there still two days before the academy reopens? Stay at home properly and we will send you to the academy two days from now on."
"Xiao Ji, Ruru, your elder sister didn’t want to expose herself and would most likely hide her identity even in the academy. She had so many enemies in this world. Your second brother and Zhi’er had been targeted already. It’s not bad to be on guard. Once we meet your sister, you ask her what should be done next," said Papa Yue, the Everlasting Moon Emperor.
The crown prince added, "With the Fairy Queen in her current desperate state, we don’t know what she might do now. We don’t even know where she went after escaping from the Immortal Star Emperor. She hates our family. In desperation we don’t know what could happen."
"Lei’er is correct. Since we cannot go all at once to see Xue’er or people would notice who she is," said the Ancient Moon God, Yue Zhiyan. "Your grandma and I will see her tomorrow. Since she is already in the Inner Haven. It would be easier to meet her now than before."
Everyone in the family agreed to come see Yue Xuexia in batches and not all at once. The Empire cannot be left empty after all.

Back to the Pill Tower...
Han Siri was still begging the Moon Goddess to forgive him and was beaten up by Shen Jueyang who had returned after sending his people to the Black Cloud Academy. Seeing an old man clinging on the legs of the Moon Goddess had angered him. If not for Yue Xuexia stopping Shen Jueyang, Han Siri wouldn’t just end up with a pig face (Swollen face).
After the class had ended early today, Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang went to check the blood sea. They only wanted to check the situation on it and it’s more or less, Yue Xuexia wanting to see a sea whose color is that of a blood. Young men and young women coming to such a dangerous place is rare. So the figures of the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor caught almost everyone’s eyes at the sea shore.
There were mostly bad people stalking them and coincidentally, the three brothers who had sold seafood had just got back from the sea. On their mini boat, a large net was tied from behind dragging a huge dead shark and their boat was filled with all kinds of seashells, from scallops, abalone and more. The moment Yue Xuexia saw their items she immediately got interested.
The Immortal Sun Emperor asked, "Do you wish to buy some seafood from them?"
The Moon Goddess nodded her head and said, "Fresh from the sea. Good for grilling, making dumplings and soup."
"Alright. Let’s go ask," Shen Jueyang said as he held Yue Xuexia’s hand and they walked together to approach the three brothers.
The three brothers are one burly, one with sharp eyes and the other looking silly yet full of strength. The moment they saw the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor approached they were all on guard. This young couple not only looks so young but the red miasma in this place seems to be ineffective to them.
"Why are they coming over to us?" The silly among the three brothers asked.
The sharp looking one grabbed the youngest and said, "Don’t speak carelessly from now on, youngest!" Then he gave their eldest brother a glance who knew that the second brother was asking him to take over.
For these kinds of people, the youngest would never be able to handle them. Especially the man emitting the dangerous presence and the hidden danger the woman in veil possessed.
The burly eldest among the brothers said, "What do you need?"
"We wanted to buy some seafood," The Immortal Sun Emperor said.
The three brothers were startled as they didn’t expect this. The second eldest with sharp eyes looked at the couple and didn’t ask the man which he wanted. This type of person can definitely not cook. So he went to ask the lady in veil beside him.
He asked, "What would you like?"
"Shark fins, 10 kg of shark meat and all your shellfish. But you can leave some shellfish for your brothers to eat. Don’t worry I will pay extra," the Moon Goddess said as she passed two high-grade spirit stones to the man with sharp eyes leaving the man stunned.
"This is too much, Miss!" The second brother said. "You only need to pay for a few medium grade spirit stones."
The Moon Goddess frowned then looked at her storage, "Sorry, this is already the smallest spirit stone. Jueyang, do you have spirit stones?"
"Xue’er, I’m a freeloader at your place. I don’t even have one spirit stone with me," said the Immortal Sun Emperor.
Yue Xuexia looked at the high-grade spirit stone in her hand and said, "If I cut it into two would it become a middle-grade spirit stone?"
"That... I haven’t tried that one yet," said Shen Jueyang clearly with no intention of stopping her.
On the other hand, the three brothers felt speechless. This is the first time they had seen stupid rich people. Once a high-grade spirit stone was cut it would simply become a useless rock. This couple doesn’t seem to be joking and this kind of currency is normal for them to have. So it wasn’t a joke when they heard them planning to cut the high-grade spirit stone for a test.
However, before Yue Xuexia can make a move, the spirit stone the sharped eyed man had returned was taken back by him even hiding it intently away from the reach of the crazy couple.
"Don’t cut it! We will just deliver seafood to your place for five days straight as equal payment for two high-grade spirit stones!" The second brother said.
The eldest and the youngest were stunned as well but they didn’t stop their second brother from making a decision. They knew that it is better to leave them
Yue Xuexia felt this is also good. She waved her hand, took her first order and left the rest to the three brothers.
She said, "That’s good. I don’t have to go to the market. Please send the seafood to the Black Cloud Academy in my name, Yuelei Xuexia. Just show them this token."
A moon, clouds and lotus flower shaped designed black token with Xue character on it was given to the brothers. This is her personal token as a member of the Black Cloud Academy. Something her master had longed made for her ever since she had agreed to become Wu Yao’s disciple. It was given to her by her master before she left.
