The battle between mortals and immortal cultivators was a massacre without any suspense. In a few breaths, the last few mounted gangsters were beheaded. More than twenty mounted gangsters, including the bandit leader, were all dead.
Corpses were wrapped in horse leather, blood flowed all over the ground, and broken limbs were everywhere. It was a tragic scene, and the battlefield was filled with a thick smell of blood.
Nan Jiantian only stopped when he saw that the bandit leader was dead. He accidentally discovered that the bandit leader was wearing a golden ring on his right index finger. It must be very valuable, and he immediately wanted to get rich.
Because only with money could he change his fate as a slave. Having suffered so much, he desperately wanted to change his fate. He did not want to live in humiliation anymore.
Nan Jiantian took advantage of the fact that the bandit leader was unprepared and cut off his index finger with his sword. He then put the ring and the broken finger into his pocket.
After Wei Kang dealt with all the mounted gangsters, he collected his belongings. However, when he saw that the bandit leader's index finger and ring were missing, he immediately guessed who had done it. His suspicious gaze shifted to Nan Jiantian.
At this moment, Ge You 'er had calmed down a little, but she didn't expect a slave to save her at the critical moment, which made her feel even more ashamed.
As the daughter of the sect master, she was actually saved by a slave? Ge You 'er couldn't help but reevaluate Nan Jiantian.
"Nan Jiantian, although you are a servant and have a humble status, I am still grateful for saving my life. As a repayment, you can use a horse for the rest of the journey.”
"Thank you, Master!" Nan Jiantian was overjoyed and thought to himself,'Finally, the bitter end has come!'
"Wait, I have something to say!" Wei Kang said.
"What else do you have to say?" Ge You 'er did not stand on ceremony. After what happened on the spirit ship, she had long lost all good feelings for Wei Kang. Their status as husband and wife was only in name.
Suddenly seeing Wei Kang draw his sword and stab at Nanjian Tian, Ge You 'er's face instantly paled.
"Wei Kang, are you really that daring? Nan Jiantian is my servant. Other than me, no one can teach him a lesson…"
Nan Jiantian's pocket was cut off with great precision. The sharp sword was cut into pieces as it danced up and down. Then, a golden ring appeared and landed in Wei Kang's palm. It was the bandit leader's storage ring.
Because the bandit leader was suspicious by nature, he never trusted anyone easily. He always carried the unprofitable loot with him. The wealth that the bandits had accumulated over decades was definitely not bad, so Wei Kang could not help but be tempted.
When Wei Kang drew his sword and pierced his pocket, Nan Jiantian knew that his deeds had been exposed. He was afraid that this matter would not end well.
"You 'Er, is this what your servant did?”Wei Kang fiddled with the interspatial ring in his palm and finally put it away in his pocket.
Ge You 'er also guessed the truth of the matter and felt extremely embarrassed. She couldn't help but curse,"You slave, how dare you deceive your master and take away his belongings. I originally wanted to reward you, but now I want to reward you with a whip. Kneel down.”
Ge You 'er flipped the whip in her hand and struck Nan Jiantian's hind leg. He groaned miserably and knelt on the ground. Then, the whip mercilessly lashed at his back.
As the whip rose and fell, a clear whip mark appeared on his skin, causing his flesh to split open and his clothes to be soaked in blood.
Nan Jiantian kneeled on the ground and gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain. His eyes were bloodshot, but he did not beg for mercy. His entire body trembled, and his ten fingers dug deep into the soil.
This whipping had shattered his heart and also broken the friendship between the master and servant. Nan Jiantian no longer dared to hope that Ge You 'er would become merciful. If he wanted to survive, he could only rise up and resist!
Nan Jiantian had saved Ge You 'er's life, but he had been whipped instead. Then, everyone rode their horses while he continued to run ahead.
If he had to do all this three months ago, he would definitely be exhausted to death. However, with the leap in his physique, he did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt more relaxed as he ran.
It was just that the wound on his back was bitter. Salty sweat soaked through his clothes and even invaded his wound, transmitting waves of heart-wrenching pain. However, he was already used to it. He grinned and quickened his pace to continue walking.
Unknowingly, his physique was becoming stronger day by day, laying a solid foundation for his future cultivation.
Three days later, Wei Kang's group of seven arrived at the Heavenly Bow Academy.
It was said that the Heavenly Bow Academy was founded by the founding father of the Heavenly Bow Empire, with the aim of nurturing the future generations of the Empire. The famous Heavenly Bow Academy in the Midland Continent came from this.
However, these were all rumors and there was no way to verify them.
That night, the seven of them chose to temporarily stay in the inn.
The next day, Wei Kang brought Ge You 'Er around the academy to play.
Wei Kang acted as if nothing had happened, calm and collected!
In reality, Ge You 'er had already harbored a grudge against him, but she was still Wei Kang's fiancée, so it was not appropriate for her to flare up.
Wei Kang was well aware of this, but he did not say anything. He tried his best to keep a low profile, and his words were unconsciously reduced.
The relationship between the two was very subtle.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. During this time, Nan Jiantian's body had completely recovered.
The Heavenly Bow Academy's annual recruitment examination had also begun. The school required the examinees to be at least at the 9th Tier of the Physical Body Realm, with a strength of 100 Jin.
In the outside world, those at the ninth level of the Physical Tempering realm could take on the role of a general, but in the Heavenly Bow Academy, they were nothing.
Moreover, the students had to be under the age of 16. Those who were older were deemed to have lost their value for rebirth, and they were not accepted regardless of their status. From this, one could see how high the requirements were.
The Heavenly Bow Academy had already reached an employment agreement with the Empire, thus they could act arbitrarily and not be controlled by the local nobles.
On the day of the assessment, Wei Kang passed easily. He was a Qi Condensation expert, so this naturally did not pose a problem for him.
As for Ge You 'er, she barely met the requirements and bribed her to pass.
They were then assigned to different classes and dormitories.
Of course, nobles had special treatment and could be allocated a separate courtyard, but the rent was also abnormally high. This was one of the important sources of income for the school.
Ge You 'er ordered Nan Jiantian and Ge Shuang to clean up the courtyard they had been allocated and then move the luggage from the inn over.
Right at this moment, a profligate young master led several guards and barged in. He had a smug look on his face. This person was none other than the son of the princess of Fengyang County, Gao Weifeng, Gao Fei.
He had always used his power to bully others, but he was also a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Gao Fei swaggered into the courtyard and sized up the situation. He could not help but be overjoyed."It's really good feng shui. The light and air are good. Who is the headmaster of this courtyard? Get the hell out here. From today onwards, the name of this courtyard will change.”
At this moment, Ge You 'er was instructing the servants to clean the courtyard when she saw a stranger suddenly barge in, pointing and shouting non-stop. She couldn't help but feel irritated and reprimanded,"Who is shouting here? Don't you have me in your eyes?”
Gao Fei placed his hands behind his back. When he saw Ge You 'Er's outstanding beauty, his eyes lit up and he said,"Previously, this place was yours, but I will be the owner in the future. Of course, this young master will give you appropriate compensation.”
