Chapter 116 Return to the Imperial Capital

Chapter 116 Return to the Imperial Capital

After the individual scores were announced, the next thing that everyone cared about the most was naturally the total scores of each college, after all, it was related to the college's ranking in mainland China for the next ten years.

Everyone originally thought that since Xuanyuan Xingyao won first place this time, Fit College would lose its first place.

Unfortunately, there was still a gap. The combat experience of the contestants from Fite Academy was indeed stronger than that of the contestants from other academies.

When the final scores came out, Fit College was still number one in the mainland.

However, the Imperial Capital College jumped from third place in the previous session to second place, and was even only a dozen points behind the first place of Fate College.

It's a pity that Xuanyuan Xingyao is older than the next class. Otherwise, with the blessing of Xuanyuan Xingyao's evil spirit, if the Imperial Capital Academy works harder, it is not impossible to surpass Fate Academy.

This idea is not only shared by the teachers at Imperial Capital College, but also by Fate College.

Of course, they were more relieved, after all, Xuanyuan Xingyao's murderous aura was really a headache.

They have many ways to resist and even fight back.

But the students’ cultivation is still low, so it’s good enough if they can resist, but forget about fighting back.

The most important thing is that Xuanyuan Xingyao has already reached the level of a war master. Who knows how far he can improve in ten years.

After the mainland college competition came to an end, colleges in some remote small countries packed their bags and returned home.

I'm just going to some nearby countries, and I plan to stay there for a few more days to relax before going back.

Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing originally wanted to stay for a few more days.

But both the academy teachers and General Qi disagreed, and felt that Xuanyuan Xingyao should return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

Even Han Yan and Bing Linxuan meant the same thing.

Xuanyuan Xingyao also knew that if he was really injured, everyone present would be implicated.

Xuanyuan Xingyao was not a willful person, so on the third day after the competition, the group packed up and prepared to go back.

King Fate knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao and his group were packing up to go back, so he specially asked Prince Light to come over and invite Xuanyuan Xingyao to stay for a while, but Xuanyuan Xingyao politely declined.

Seeing this, King Fate did not force it. On the day Xuanyuan Xingyao and his group set off, he specially asked Prince Light to lead several ministers to personally escort them out of the city.

Speaking of which, a small incident happened the day before departure.

Sikong Changyi, who had fought with Xuanyuan Xingyao before, and Zhuo Yunsheng, who had fought with Nangong Jing, actually came over.

The two did not come together, but one after the other.

I have no ill intentions in coming here, but I just want to exchange contact information because I have encountered a good opponent.

Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing naturally would not object to this. After all, Sikong Changyi and Zhuo Yunsheng were indeed very good opponents.

However, because Xuanyuan Xingyao was still temporarily staying in the palace, it was inconvenient for him to receive letters, so he could only leave Nangong Jing's address.

If Sikong Changyi has any letters, ask him to send them to the Duke's Mansion, and Nangong Jing will help deliver them to him at the palace.

Sikong Changyi knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao had a special identity, and he simply wanted to keep a way so that he could find Xuanyuan Xingyao to compete with him again when he had the chance in the future. Naturally, he would not care about these trivial matters, and he happily exchanged contact information with Nangong Jing.

The return journey was much faster than the coming journey, because the students from the Imperial Capital College had already prepared themselves mentally, so they walked much faster.

And because of the experience on the way here, everyone already knew how to conserve their energy and travel as much distance as possible when they returned.

Although the return journey took several days less than the journey there, when the group returned to the imperial capital, the people's clothes had changed from thin summer clothes to long autumn clothes, and some people even put on thick coats.

It was because everyone was a person with cultivation and was wearing magic robes, so they were not afraid of the cold and therefore did not feel anything.

"I've only been away for a few months, but why do I feel like I've been away for so long that I don't even recognize you anymore."

Feng Xuanzhou stood at the city gate, looking at the familiar city gate, and suddenly sighed.

"Maybe it's because this is your first time away from home. Once you go out a few more times, you won't have these messy thoughts anymore."

Nangong Jing said with a chuckle.

He was not close to his family in his previous life, but when he came back from his first experience, he felt as if he was in another world.

But as I gained more experience, my mood became more and more indifferent, and in the end I even felt that I was more comfortable outside than at home.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that there were no people or things in the Duke's Mansion in his previous life that made him miss them.

Although his relationship with Zhong Yumei in this life is worse than in his previous life.

But his relationship with Nangong Tao and Nangong Mu is closer.

I've been away for such a long time, although not a long time, but I still miss you a little bit.

Not to mention, his most beloved person is here.

Nangong Jing turned his head and glanced at Xuanyuan Xingyao. If he were allowed to go out alone to gain experience again in this life, he would definitely not be reluctant to come back like he did in his previous life.

"What's wrong?"

Xuanyuan Xingyao felt Nangong Jing's gaze and thought that he had something to say, so he lowered his head and asked softly.

Nangong Jing shook his head and said.

"Nothing, it's getting late. Let's go into the city first. The Emperor and Empress must be waiting for you."

Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Nangong Jing deeply, and only withdrew his gaze when he saw that the other party was really fine.

"You two, calm down a bit. This imperial capital is not like the outside world."

After arriving at the imperial capital, Han Yan, Bing Linxuan and the worshippers prepared to return to the worship hall first.

Before leaving, Han Yan spoke meaningfully to the two of them.

Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing were still young after all. When Han Yan said this, the two of them, who already had something to hide, became a little panicked.

"Master, what do you mean by this?"

Nangong Jing could actually understand what Han Yan meant, but he thought he had hidden it very well. How did Han Yan find out?

That's what Nangong Jing thought. In fact, not to mention Han Yan, even Bing Linxuan who arrived later had discovered it a long time ago.

There are two emotions in this world that are the most difficult to hide, one is hatred, and the other is love.

"Alright, we two old guys have never had any thoughts about who your future partners will be, nor do we intend to break you up. Just because we don't have any requirements for you doesn't mean others don't have any requirements for you either. You should try to keep a low profile."

Han Yan saw that Nangong Jing looked panicked. Xuanyuan Xingyao seemed calm, but his slightly clenched fists revealed his true feelings at the moment.

Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao both knew who Han Yan was talking about.

Although they didn't know how Han Yan and Bing Linxuan discovered it, they both knew that the two of them had tacitly agreed to their intentions. Even Xuanyuan Xingyao couldn't help but show a bit of joy.

"I just told you to keep a low profile, yet you're still showing off your excitement. Let's get into the city quickly, or people will get suspicious."

Bing Linxuan looked serious, but actually there was a smile in his eyes as he said, "You are still a child after all."

Xuanyuan Xingyao then realized that they had been staying at the city gate for a little too long.

All the teachers of the Imperial Capital Academy had already gone in, except General Qi and his companions, who were still waiting there because they did not dare to go into the city as Xuanyuan Xingyao had not yet entered.

"I'm sorry, General Qi, but Master has some instructions for me. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go into the city."

Xuanyuan Xingyao was very shameless and used Bing Linxuan as a shield.

Bing Linxuan, who had entered the city earlier with Han Yan, heard the noise behind him and shook his head helplessly but lovingly.

General Qi naturally would not doubt Xuanyuan Xingyao's words, nor did he think there was anything wrong with waiting a little longer.

Following General Qi's order, a group of people marched into the city in a mighty procession.

When the people on the street heard the noise behind them, they turned around and immediately packed up their things in a hurry and retreated to the back.

I was afraid that if I was a step slower, I would block the army's progress and be thrown into prison.

"Your Highness, we are going back to the Imperial Capital Academy first. We will meet again when there is a chance."

After arriving at the main street, Yu Tianze led the contestants from the Imperial Capital Academy and saluted Xuanyuan Xingyao.

Now that they were back in the imperial capital, Yu Tianze naturally couldn't call Xuanyuan Xingyao's name directly as he did in the Fit Kingdom.

"You can come to the Duke's Mansion to find us if you have the chance. In private, we will still be the same as before."

Although Xuanyuan Xingyao had been jealous before because Nangong Jing praised Yu Tianze, he still admired Tianze himself.

Yu Tianze could see that Xuanyuan Xingyao was not just saying polite words, but speaking from the heart, and the smile on his face also became more sincere.

"I see."

"After you've rested, remember to come and play with me. If I have time, I will come to you too."

Sometimes Nangong Jing also found it strange that he didn’t have many good friends when he was studying in college in his previous life.

I didn’t go to college in my life, but I made a lot of good friends.

"Don't worry, I will."

"Remember to prepare a feast for us then."

"Yes, yes, and you'll also take us on a tour of the Duke's Palace."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone was joking with each other, and there was no trace of reluctance to leave on their faces.

Because everyone understands that if you want to meet each other, you can do so at any time. There is no need to feel reluctant.

Not long after Yu Tianze took the others away, Feng Xuanzhou and other accompanying observers also said goodbye.

Nangong Jing was going to go with Feng Xuanzhou. He was not General Qi, so he still needed to go to the palace to report.

After Xuanyuan Xingyao returned to the palace, the emperor and the empress would definitely want to reunite as a family. What would it mean for an outsider like him to enter the palace? It would be better for him to return to the Duke's Mansion first.

Xuanyuan Xingyao also understood Nangong Jing's thoughts. Although he didn't want to separate from Nangong Jing, after all, they had always slept together at night since they got together, and he would definitely be reluctant to separate suddenly.

But after returning to the imperial capital, they were no longer allowed to act as they pleased, so Xuanyuan Xingyao just glanced at Nangong Jing with some reluctance and didn't say much.

After everyone left, Xuanyuan Xingyao took General Qi back to the palace. As for the accompanying soldiers, General Qi's deputy took them back to the barracks first.
