"Since it's decided, I will take you to the Ninth Heaven so you can train in the Gates of Heaven. However, it'll take some time to get approval, so you can continue staying here until then," Senior Bai said.
Chu Liuxiang nodded, "Take your time."
"It shouldn't take too long--three months at most."
"I understand."
Senior Bai left shortly after.
"Don't worry too much about it," Kelan said afterward. "There may be a few bad apples, but most disciples of the Gates of Heaven have good character--a reflection of their leader, Senior Bai. However, if things do get out of hand, don't hesitate to ask Senior Bai for help."
"I'm not worried at all," Chu Liuxiang said with a confident smile.
Sometime later, Chu Liuxiang went to speak with Meixiu and Li Jinxi about her arrangements.
"So, I'll be studying in the Ninth Heaven at the Gates of Heaven," she announced.
"Senior Bai's sect, huh? I'll be training with Kelan's elder sister," Meixiu said.
"Huh? Kelan has a sister?" Chu Liuxiang's eyes widened with surprise at this news.
Meixiu nodded. "He has several other siblings, too."
"What about you, Sister Jinxi? Where will you be going?"
The two looked at her.
"I haven't decided yet. I was going to train alone in the wilderness, but Senior Bai gave me other options. I can train at the Divine Essence Monastery or Heaven's Sect. Both of them exist within the Ninth Heaven."
"I think you would still benefit from training at a sect even with your experience," said Meixiu.
"I think so, too." Chu Liuxiang agreed.
Meanwhile, Xi Meili and Liya just arrived at the Dragon Spiral Mountain.
"Halt! Identify yourself!" A guard stopped them once they got close enough.
"Hello, my name is Xi Meili-"
"I remember you! You're Dragon Goddess Yeyou's Envoy's friend!" The guard interrupted.
"Yes... I came here with Yuan some time ago."
"Why did you return? Did something happen?"
"No. This may sound weird, but I was wondering if I could train here with my friend."
"Training, huh? Let me speak with my superior. Follow me."
Xi Meili and Liya followed the guard to the Dragon Spiral Mountain.
Upon returning to the Dragon Spiral Mountain, Xi Meili and Liya were brought to a guest house before the guard left to contact the elders.
"Xi Meili? That young dragon from last time has returned, and she wants to train here?" The elders raised an eyebrow at this news.
"Should I send them away?" The guard asked after seeing the elder's reaction.
"What? Are you insane? They're the Immortal-Dragon Goddess' Envoy's companion! They can train here for as long as they'd like!" The elder said.
