Velen exclaimed in surprise, "Who is this person who can drive the development of an adventurers' academy?"
It's worth noting that Qingkong University has been established for over 500 years and has produced hundreds of Light Rank graduates, some of whom have become renowned legendary adventurers.
This university, when considered across the entire empire and its dozens of provinces, ranks slightly above the middle.
“He is an adventurer far more powerful than me. Living with him makes me feel more comfortable teaching students,” Bai Luo said calmly.
Currently, she serves as a mascot at Qingkong University, her greatest value being to showcase her skills at the annual Winter Festival assessment, letting the outside world know that Qingkong University has adventurers of considerable strength.
But if the Dark Shadow retires and lives with her, she might be so happy that she teaches her students swordsmanship.
This is tantamount to indirectly promoting the development of Aozora University.
"I see..."
Viren didn't dare ask any more questions. He took the recording stone, watched it for a while, and then stammered:
“I saw a similar recording stone yesterday, and I was wondering who this adventurer who uses black flames is, and whether he might be from White Dove City.”
Bai Luo said, "There will be a generous reward from the Dean for finding this person's whereabouts."
“I really want to help you, but if such an important person is determined to hide, where are we supposed to find them?” Velen was at a loss.
"That's your business." Bai Luo jumped off the chair and walked out with Taige.
"—If you find him, what do you plan to do?"
"Um?"
Upon opening the door, Bai Luo was slightly taken aback by the sudden appearance of the girl and her incomprehensible question.
At the railing downstairs, leaned a werewolf girl wearing a black hoodie, her hands in her pockets, with short light blue hair.
The other person stared at him with deep blue eyes and said slowly, "[White Cat Swordsman] Bai Luo, even though you've changed a lot in the past three years and are no longer the one with twin tails, your scent can't escape my nose."
"Who are you?"
Bai Luo frowned and tilted her head slightly.
"How arrogant. But it's understandable that you don't recognize me; I was kicked out by the captain long before you joined." Lulu laughed self-deprecatingly. "But I saw you from afar, the captain holding your hand as you entered the World Tree, and I remembered your scent."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo and Taige's expressions changed.
They exchanged a glance and nodded.
It's confirmed. This werewolf girl, like them, once served in "that" adventure team!
President Vilen, who came out to see the guest off, exclaimed in a panic, "Lulu, this is the Dean of Qingkong University from Cangqing City. Please don't be rude!"
“I understand,” Lulu said to Bai Luo. “Shall we talk somewhere else?”
"Hmph, that's exactly what I was thinking."
Bai Luo put his hands on his hips and replied in a provocative tone.
For some reason, she felt uneasy the moment she saw the werewolf, as if she would one day become his enemy.
Tiger felt a strong affinity for the werewolves and laughed, "So we're old teammates now? Treat me to dinner next time!"
Lulu didn't reply. If these two could help her find Linda, she'd treat them to meals for the rest of her life.
A moment later, in a private room at a coffee shop.
“I do know the captain’s whereabouts.”
Lulu took a sip of her horribly black, unsweetened coffee and calmly said...
This gesture sent a chill down Bai Luo's spine. The [Charming Poison] black coffee produced on the fifteenth floor could actually be drunk without sugar! This was a terrifying coffee capable of making a child cry instantly. Bai Luo had cultivated for three years, and had only managed to reduce the amount of sugar from ten pieces to five.
And this werewolf girl remained completely unfazed... she was practically a frighteningly mature adult!
"How can you tell me where the teacher is?"
Bai Luo stared at Lulu warily.
"First, answer me a question." Lulu put down her coffee cup, a glint of something unreadable in her eyes: "After finding the captain, what do you plan to do? Answer honestly."
Taigo looked at Bai Luo curiously. She had planned to fight the captain after finding him, but what was Bai Luo thinking?
Back in the original adventure team, Bai Luo was the one who respected the captain the most.
To this, Bai Luo answered without hesitation:
"Of course, the teacher should keep his promise, retire together, and become his wife."
The adventure is far too dangerous. If you've ever lived in the original world, you should know that the four Grand Dukes who represent the guardians of the flame are all scheming. No matter which side the captain supports, he will be betrayed by the other three.
The captain is very clever at dealing with monsters and conquering the World Tree, but in daily life he is a blockhead, not good at handling interpersonal relationships, and doesn't even know how to sit down. All he knows is fighting and killing.
If he doesn't retire, he'll definitely fall on the road of adventure.
"You have a point... but what does it mean to become his wife?"
Lulu asked in surprise.
"Why are you in such a hurry? What does this have to do with you?"
Bai Luo sat on a high stool, his legs clearly not touching the ground, yet he exuded an arrogant air.
—The team leader belongs to everyone, not just you.
Lulu really wanted to tell Bai Luo this.
Moreover, Linda's biggest wish is to lead her team to the top of the World Tree. How could she allow Bai Luo to lead her to retirement?
What's the difference between crushing someone's dreams and being a murderer?
Lulu's heart sank. She thought she had received strong support, but she didn't expect Bai Luo to be a super villain who came to stop Linda from continuing her adventure.
She was torn between two conflicting thoughts: asking Bai Luo for help might expose Linda's identity, but if she didn't help, what if Linda died in the sealed secret realm...?
"Tell me where the teacher is!"
