Of the two elders, one was Old Ying whom Ling Tian was familiar with, while the other was the First Elder whom he had only met once.
"Brat, don't tell me you don't welcome us coming uninvited?”Old Ying started joking with Ling Tian the moment he entered.
"How could that be? Sit, please sit. Great Elder, please sit as well. Violet Orchid, make tea for the two elders."”Hearing this, Ling Tian smiled and invited the two elders to sit down.
"Alright, we're not here to drink tea.”First Elder took a sip of tea and said.
"May I know what Great Elder has to teach me? I didn't violate the academy's rules!”Ling Tian Shuofang asked.
"Hehe, you still bear a grudge against that matter, kid. I was just joking with you at that time.”The Great Elder smiled when he heard this." But I really have something important to discuss with you this time. It's a good thing. I'm looking for you to discuss it."”
"What is it?" Hearing this, Ling Tian's smile disappeared as he spoke in a serious tone.
"Have you heard of Nanhua Mystic Realm?" Old Ying said as he put down his teacup.
"The Secret Realm of Nanhua, isn't that the Secret Realm of the entire Nanhua region?”Hearing this, Ling Tian frowned and said,"Could it be that the reason why you're looking for me is related to this secret realm?"”
"Smart. This time, the mystic realm will open an academy and I want you to participate.”Old Ying nodded his head and explained why he had come.
"Looking for me? Aren't there so many experts in the academy? Why are you looking for me?" Ling Tian asked suspiciously, but did not immediately agree.
The Great Elder nodded and said,""Indeed, but you might not know that the South China Mystery Dimension opens once every ten years. Only King level people are allowed to enter, and the age of those who enter is not more than one-tenth of their lifespan.”
"Isn't that a person under the age of forty?”Ling Tian interjected.
"Yes and no. You have to know that there are not only humans in the South China region. There are many races like Orcs, Snake-People, Elves, and so on. Moreover, the areas around the South China region will probably interfere in the opening of the mythical realm this time.”
"Why?" Ling Tianwen asked.
The Great Elder explained," Don't you know that the South China Mystery Dimension is divided into a major opening and a minor opening? The minor opening is very common. It happens once every ten years. Although there are many young experts who enter, there are not many. As for the Great Opening, it would only open once every 100 times, which meant that it would open once every 1,000 years. Every thousand years, the South China Mystery Land would be fully opened, and every time it opened, a large number of treasures would be revealed. Therefore, this opening was very likely to trigger a war between races.”
"Race war?" Hearing this, Ling Tian was a little surprised. Why would the Nanhua Mystic Realm be related to the war between races?
" Hehe." The Great Elder smiled."Do you still think that treasure is only a matter between people? There were also races, but there would not be those who would risk their entire race for treasures. Speaking of which, all the king level students in the academy would participate this time, and the senior students of the previous level would also participate.”
"What?! The previous batch also knew it, so why are you still looking for me? With so many king level students, are you afraid that I'll be one less? Moreover, even if you invite me, you don't have to come personally, right?”Hearing this, Ling Tian was first shocked before calming down.
"You're not lacking? I know that you, Ling Tian, are not an ordinary King. Furthermore, I have my own reasons for coming here personally. This time, I would like to invite you to be the leader.”The First Elder smiled at Ling Tian.
"Leader! There were so many old students who didn't want to look for him. You were looking for me. Moreover, perhaps some of those old students had gone in before? I won't do it, I won't do it." Ling Tian paused for a moment before continuing," The South Flower Mystic Realm is indeed not bad. I can go, but I can't be the leader.”
"Is that so? Hehe, looks like you don't want to cause trouble anymore.”The Great Elder smiled and paused,"However, our academy has given the team leader the most complete information about the mystic realm. Moreover, if you find the treasure, you don't have to hand it over.”
"Really?" Ling Tian asked in disbelief.
"Of course. Actually, after entering the mystic realm, you will be separated and it will be very difficult to meet. I just want you to help if you can. The most important thing is to not let our school lose face when we meet up in front of the mythical realm.”First Elder first confirmed it, then explained.
"You mean that as long as I help out a little when we meet in front of the mystic realm, we don't have to worry about it after that, right?”
"You can think of it that way." The First Elder nodded.
Ling Tian was silent for a moment before saying,"Alright, deal."”
"This is the jade slip that records the Nanhua Express Delivery.”First Elder took out a jade slip from his storage ring and passed it to Ling Tian,""If there are no more questions, then I'll take my leave. Remember, gather at the back of the mountain of the academy in a month.”After saying that, the First Elder stood up and left.
However, Old Ying did not leave with the First Elder. Instead, he looked at Ling Tian and joked,""Brat, it seems that it was a wise decision for me to bring you back to the academy back then! However, you're living a very comfortable life.”
"I wonder what Old Ying means?" Ling Tian then gestured for Violet Orchid to pour Old Ying a cup of tea.
"Alright, although this tea is not bad, I still like to drink. However, it's true that you're living comfortably. You have such a beautiful maid at home, a gorgeous little b * tch outside the academy, and you even got our courtyard flower beauty Feng Qing 'er in the academy.”
Hearing this, Ling Tian remained silent for a long time before raising his head to look at Old Daoist Ying,""Old Ying, are you trying to remind me of something?”
"You're really smart, kid." Old Ying smiled and lowered his voice to the lowest possible level,""But you better keep some distance from Feng Qing 'er. I'm not looking for trouble for no reason. I don't want to care about your sexual history as long as you don't provoke my granddaughter. However, you have to be careful with Feng Qing 'er. Her identity is very mysterious. If it wasn't for the incident in the South China Mystery Dimension, I wouldn't have known about it.
When her name list was on the list for the trip to the South China Mystery Dimension, the Great Elder, the Deputy Dean, and two guardian elders visited Feng Qing 'er. There were a few ordinary elders in that group, and I happened to be one of them. You don't know, but when we arrived at Feng Qing 'er's courtyard, we discovered that there was a middle-aged man beside Feng Qing' er. He seemed to be her guard, but did you know?
That guard gave me an even deeper feeling than the Great Elder, so I secretly asked around and found out that Feng Qing 'er isn't from the South Flower Territory. And you're so close to her. Be careful."
"Got it. Thank you, Old Ying." After hearing this, Ling Tian's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh. After saying that, he took out two jars of good wine from his storage ring and threw one jar to Old Eagle."Let's have a drink."
"Haha." Old Ying hugged the wine jar and laughed loudly,""You should have done this long ago. No good tea is as satisfying as good wine.”As he said that, he couldn't wait to open the wine jar and drink.
Old Ying had left at dusk, and both the First Elder and Old Ying had brought news that changed Ling Tian's life. "Young Master, you are drunk. Let me help you to rest.”Seeing Ling Tian lying on the table in deep thought, Violet Orchid walked over and pulled Ling Tian's arm, wanting to pull him up.
However, Ling Tian shook his head and said," There's no need. Let me be alone for a while.”As he spoke, he picked up a jar of wine from his storage ring and drank it. Violet Orchid, who was standing at the side, silently shed tears upon seeing this.
In the middle of the night, Ling Tian woke up with a gust of cold wind. He realized that Violet Orchid was sleeping on his shoulder with a red face and a whiff of alcohol coming from her mouth.
When she looked at herself, she realized that she had an extra coat on her. Shaking his head and smiling, Ling Tian took off his coat and put it on Violet Orchid," What a silly girl. How could a cultivator like me catch a cold?
"Ah! Young Master, you're awake. How could I have fallen asleep?”Violet Orchid was startled awake by Ling Tian's actions. She looked at the coat on the floor and said,""This…"
"Alright, go back to sleep. I'm fine.”Ling Tian interrupted Violet Orchid. "Really? Is Young Master really alright?" Violet Orchid said in disbelief. Ling Tian nodded. "That's right. Who cares about Feng Qing 'er? How can Young Master not be worthy of her? She should be the one who isn't worthy of Young Master." Violet Orchid said happily.
Ling Tian smiled," Alright, go to sleep.”"Oh." Violet Orchid replied and returned to her room.
After Violet Orchid left, Ling Tian looked up at the bright moon in the sky. After a long while, Ling Tian raised his hand and looked at his own clenched fist as he muttered,""Strength."
After a long time, he shook his head and thought, Maybe I shouldn't care too much and should cherish the people around me.
On the second day, in the Book Pagoda," You're here.”Hearing this, Ling Tian looked at Feng Qing 'er and said,""Yeah,"
"But you're late today. Aren't you never late?”Feng Qing 'er asked in a coquettish manner.
"Who said that? I never said that.”Hearing this, Ling Tian smiled and replied,"It's because of the matter of the South China Mystic Realm."”
"Humph!" Feng Qing Er stomped her feet and snorted coldly before lowering her head to read her book, letting Ling Tian off.
Seeing this, Ling Tian didn't mind at all. Instead, he closed his eyes and didn't release his soul force, slowly using the feeling of being forgotten by a cultivator. "Left." Ling Tian raised his head and looked to the left in an attempt to find the person he was looking for, but that feeling disappeared.
"I've been discovered. Don't try. I didn't use my soul power.”Ling Tian shook his head and suddenly looked at Feng Qing Er,""Who exactly are you?"
Just as Feng Qing Er heard Ling Tian's voice and was about to speak, she saw Ling Tian placing his index finger on her lips to signal for her to not speak. Then, she heard Ling Tian's voice,""Write it on the table."
However, Ling Tian did not speak. Thus, he nodded to indicate that he understood and wrote on the table: "What do you mean?"
"Who are you?”Ling Tian's voice entered Feng Qing 'er's ears.
"You already know?" Feng Qing 'er wrote in surprise. "I don't really know. I just know that you have an extraordinary identity and aren't from the Nanhua Territory.”The voice continued to reach his ears.
"Forgive me, I can't say." Feng Qing 'er continued to write.
"Forgiveness? Not really." Ling Tian replied calmly, but this time, he did not send a voice transmission. After saying that, he turned around and left.
" Heavens!" Feng Qing 'er hurriedly stood up and cried out when she saw this. Her eyes were glistening with tears. Hearing this, Ling Tian paused for a moment before saying,"You shouldn't be like this.”Then, he left.
Seeing this, Feng Qing Er did not chase after him because she knew that Ling Tian could not change his mind. Thus, she laid on the table and cried with her eyes red.
For a month, Ling Tian did not go to the Book Pagoda anymore. He spent most of his time with Zi Lan and Ya Xuan, and spent most of his time preparing for the trip to the South China Secret Dimension.
A month later, Feng Qing Er saw Ling Tian once again." Tian " Feng Qing Er couldn't help but call out to him excitedly. Hearing this, Ling Tian turned around and looked at Feng Qing 'er indifferently before ignoring her.
"God, can you forgive me? I really can't say. Believe me, one day you'll tell me clearly.”Seeing how cold Ling Tian was looking at her, Feng Qing Er hugged Ling Tian from behind and cried.
Seeing this, Ling Tian turned around and wanted to pull Feng Qing Er into his embrace. However, he still looked at her indifferently and pushed her away with his hand. He then said in a low voice,""I don't want to die yet, so please stay away from me. Don't be so intimate.”
"Tian, you…" Just as Feng Qing Er was about to explain, an untimely voice sounded out,"You must be Ling Tian. Why are you only an early Dou Wang? What right do you have to be the leader?"”
Hearing this, Ling Tian raised his head and saw three young men walking towards him. Two of them were at the middle stage of the King realm, while the other was at the late stage of the King realm. The person who spoke was the late-stage king level person in the middle. He cultivated martial arts.
Ling Tian looked at the three of them and smiled. "Why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me you're afraid of your own incompetence? How about this, you give me, um, the little beauty beside you, and I'll be the leader for you.”The young man in the middle rubbed his chin as he pointed at Feng Qing Er with a troubled expression.
"Get lost!" Hearing this, Ling Tian looked up at the young man and said a single word. "What?! You dare to tell me to get lost?" When the young man heard the servant's anger, a light flashed in front of him. Then, with a " pa ", he flew away.
When he stood up from the ground and took a mouthful of blood, he heard," If we weren't going to the South China Mystery Land soon, I would definitely teach you a lesson.”
The young man was about to retort when the first elder arrived. The moment he arrived, he said,"Alright, this time, I will be leading the team with the yard guard elder, Elder Qi, to send you all to the South China Secret Realm. If there are no problems, then we will rest for a while and wait for the other students who have not yet arrived. After that, we will head to the Soaring Dragon Academy and use the teleportation array to directly teleport to a place not far from the South China Secret Realm.”
