195 Work Hard Earning Money To Raise The Jade Pendant

She had finally managed to calm down now. Luckily, she didn't visit Xie Luan back then. Otherwise, she would have definitely encountered Bai Weiyang and the rest.

However, she regretted not taking an extra look at Xie Luan.

Gu Yan closed her eyes and reminisced her image. She could only recall her fatigued appearance

"Mom, just what illness do you have…" Gu Yan snuggled into her coat. She made up her mind to find an opportunity to ask what condition Xie Luan had.

The leaves in the jade pendant were drooping again.

Sure enough, its healing ability was currently depleted.

Even the magical ability couldn't fully heal Xie Luan…

Suddenly, Gu Yan didn't dare to think about the same matter over and over.

However, she still remembered the meritorious service of the jade pendant.

On the way back, she went to the pharmacy again and bought more herbs using the remaining 40 dollars she had.

The cashier recognized Gu Yan straight away. Her face was very round, and she looked happy to see her.

She asked curiously, "Didn't you buy these just then?"

"Oh, I didn't buy enough." Gu Yan looked around and worried the other party would keep asking, so she asked, "How come I didn't see Chen Yuan these past two days? Isn't he on break today?"

Usually, during breaks, Chen Yuan would be at the pharmacy.

"You know Yuan?" The girl felt surprised and then answered, "Oh right, I just remembered that you came here to buy some herbs before too. You had a conversation with him. Yuan's health isn't too good right now. He might be discharged, I think. Poor Yuan, he actually liked being a soldier."

Gu Yan's heart skipped.

The first time she saw Chen Yuan, she knew his health wasn't faring well. His face was too pale.

Now, it turned out to be something serious that he had to quit the army!

Gu Yan looked down and clenched her fists.

After acquiring a magical ability following her rebirth, she promised herself to do the best thing she could and save the people she wanted.

After getting admitted to the academy, she should do some part-time jobs and earn additional money. The most crucial thing other than school fees and living expenses was actually… feeding the jade pendant!

With such motivation, the dejected feeling she felt earlier was soon removed from her body.

When she returned to the dormitory, it was already past lunch. However, Gu Yan didn't feel hungry at all.

The jade pendant devoured all the herbs while she organized her review materials.

Guo Rou saw her carrying a load of books and asked, "You went to the bookshop?"

"Mhm," Gu Yan answered and looked back at Guo Rou. "Your entrance examination score is quite great, isn't it?"

"Yes, but my family thinks I should still earn more experience. Otherwise, I would be studying as a first-year student now. However, in half a year, I would be attending First Empire Academy too."

"Oh." Gu Yan nodded. "Can you help me check over my practice tests?"

"Sure."

Guo Rou looked a bit emotional yesterday, but upon learning Gu Yan would take the exam, she grew excited as though she was going to do the same thing as well.

She said, "By the way, I'll go and get some of the practice tests which the third-year students currently do. The questionnaire might be more helpful."

Gu Yan's eyes lit up.

'That's exactly what she needed!'
