Fang Yunzi was stunned and looked on in disbelief when she heard this.

What are you talking about?

"I've made it very clear! I'll go where my master goes, and I'll be wherever my master is. No matter how good other places are, they have nothing to do with me."

Lu Chen shrugged, his expression resolute.

Fang Yunzi glanced at Lu Chen, then turned to look at Lu Ziqi and said, "You are his master, shouldn't you advise your disciple?"

Lu Ziqi shrugged and said, "I tried to persuade him! What can I do if he won't listen? I can't exactly expel him from the sect, can I?"

Lu Ziqi looked helpless and let out a long sigh, indicating that she had no other choice.

Fang Yunzi was furious. Originally, she had come to Xuanwu Academy determined to bring back the person who had passed the three hundredth floor of the Heavenly Ladder.

But now, the other party is unwilling to go, which is utterly absurd.

He suddenly felt something was wrong. Could these two have gone mad? He glanced at Lu Chen, then at Lu Ziqi, and suddenly wondered if there was some unusual relationship between them.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain.

"Are you two really master and disciple?"

Fang Yunzi looked suspicious and asked again, "Could there be that kind of relationship between you?"

"No, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. How could a master-disciple relationship be fake?"

Lu Chen hurriedly denied it three times.

Although Lu Chen himself did not regard Lu Ziqi as any kind of master, they were indeed master and disciple in name only, so this could not be said carelessly.

You should know that this is extremely treasonous.

Although Lu Chen had mentioned this kind of thing before, it was always for the purpose of getting rewards, and he never had such intentions.

"How about this? Why don't you two go together?"

"That's right! Junior sister, your talent is the highest among us. Although your cultivation has reached the Emperor Realm and you can't enter the True Martial Hall, it's enough for you to be a lecturer or something."

What does the envoy think?

At this moment, several elders from the Xuanwu Academy came up with an idea.

Fang Yunzi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Lu Ziqi, a look of awe in his eyes. He had also heard of Lu Ziqi's great name.

However, at this moment, he had no say in the matter.

"Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Fang Yunzi took out the communication token, contacted headquarters, and secretly communicated with them.

After a moment, Fang Yunzi nodded with a complicated expression and said, "I don't agree. Since that's the case, let's not delay and set off immediately."

Lu Ziqi was surprised for a moment, then looked helpless and said, "For the sake of my apprentice's future, I have no choice but to go along."

She spoke with great reluctance, but in Lu Chen's eyes, it was utterly hypocritical.

It must be said that Lu Ziqi's acting skills are really quite good.

In this way, the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

Lu Ziqi and her master Lu Chen traveled to the Zhenwu Academy with Fang Yunzi.

The one who was most unhappy was Ling Yan'er.

She had just joined the Xuanwu Academy and had only been an apprentice for a few days when her master and senior brother left, leaving her with no familiar faces in the entire Xuanwu Academy.

Lu Ziqi originally wanted to bring Ling Yan'er along, but unfortunately, even she herself was able to go to the Zhenwu Academy because of Lu Chen, so Ling Yan'er was naturally not qualified.

The three set off early the next morning.

Along the way, Lu Chen witnessed the power and vastness of the entire Tianyuan Empire.

They also witnessed the power of the Zhenwu Academy.

Wherever Fang Yunzi went, no one dared to stop him. As long as he revealed his identity, everyone treated him with utmost respect.

After flying south for a full twelve days, Lu Chen finally arrived at the Zhenwu Academy.

Looking around, Lu Chen finally realized just how magnificent and vast this sacred land of the human race truly was.

The Xuanwu Academy was already even more impressive, but the Zhenwu Academy truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred cultivation ground for human cultivators.

A long staircase winds its way up, seemingly reaching for the sky.

This is the Heavenly Ladder of Zhenwu Academy.

The entire Zhenwu Academy is located in a vast secret realm, dreamlike and filled with ethereal beauty.

It resembled a giant inverted disc, and the entire Xuanwu Academy was protected by a powerful array, making it impossible for outsiders to get close.

Fang Yunzi, holding the token, successfully opened the entrance passage, and the three of them entered.

"Please follow me, both of you."

Fang Yunzi introduced the place as she walked.

"The Zhenwu Academy is divided into four main palaces: the Zhenwu Hall, the Tongtian Hall, and the Elders Hall! Of course, there is also a place where ordinary disciples reside, called the Tianyuan Hall."

"The Tongtian Hall is under the control of the Palace Master and three Deputy Palace Masters of the Zhenwu Academy! They hold the highest status and position."

"The Elders' Hall is managed by the many elders of my True Martial Academy! The lecturers of the True Martial Hall are also located there."

"The True Martial Hall is where the true elite disciples of my True Martial Academy, the peerless geniuses from the entire human race, cultivate and study."

"The Tianyuan Palace is somewhat inferior, consisting of ordinary geniuses from various parts of the Tianyuan Empire. Compared to the elite disciples of the Zhenwu Palace, they are naturally somewhat inferior, but even outside, they are still geniuses that are one in ten thousand."

After Fang Yunzi finished his introduction, he said, "I am a disciple of the True Martial Hall. Lu Chen, from now on we will be fellow disciples."

"Yes, senior brother."

Lu Chen also had a good impression of Fang Yunzi; she wasn't a pedantic person, and her attitude was quite friendly.

Then Fang Yunzi looked at Lu Ziqi and said, "Uncle-Master, please come with me to the Elder Hall. The Elder Hall has other arrangements for you."
