Then, with a mixture of belief and skepticism, Shang Yanting invited the storyteller over.
Storyteller: "A long, long time ago..."
"gentlemen."
Shang Yanting reminded him, "Get to the point."
The old gentleman is now fifty-six years old and has been lecturing for over forty years. Is the point that he should just lecture whenever he can?
His long career only allowed him to pick out the most exciting parts to tell, leaving the raccoon completely absorbed, thrilled, and stunned.
Shang Yanting: ...
This was already the umpteenth time he had been speechless.
Finally, he worked hard to reduce the artistic embellishments made by the storyteller and summarized the main content:
One day, a cultivator with extraordinary bearing appeared in Changkun Xuzhou, who was about to undergo tribulation at sea.
Back then, Changkun Xuzhou wasn't as wealthy as it is now; it was plagued by aquatic monsters. When Banqi was leveling up, he also helped slay the water monsters, ending a century of torment for Changkun Xuzhou.
At that time, Xuzhou was extremely poor. The people of the surrounding islands were grateful but had nothing to offer. The Scroll Map came about from that time.
Then, the cultivator was attacked at the most crucial moment of his breakthrough.
This was the largest battle in nearly a century, with five top cultivators clashing here, even splitting the island in two. Four against one, the lone man fought and was ultimately defeated, falling wounded into the sea.
The remaining four searched the sea several times until they pulled out a skeleton that had been gnawed by a blackfish, and only then was the matter considered closed.
After finishing his story, the storyteller let out an emotional sigh and then sang two lines at the top of his lungs: "As the saying goes, life is unpredictable, heroes are envied, and human life is as pitiful as an ant."
"well."
Jia Xitong has a very strong ability to empathize, and after listening, she couldn't help but sigh along with him.
Then he took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it to the storyteller as a tip.
"Thank you, thank you!"
The old man was very happy.
This is recognition of his abilities, which is much more appealing than the leather-faced man next to him.
Shang Yanting glanced at the raccoon, his attention focused on the storyteller's tale of the five-man battle. The attack on Ban Qi wasn't by one person, but by four.
He couldn't think of anyone other than the four deans who could fight against Ban Qi, who was already half a Martial Saint at the time.
If Ban Qi becomes a Martial Saint, then he will become the strongest person in the academy.
Therefore, all four deans were present and none of them wanted him to live.
Shang Yanting shook his head, feeling that the power struggle among the four deans of Dingtian Academy was even more fascinating than that of the eight great families of Dongxu Kingdom. The higher one's status, the more ruthless they are.
Where did he finally fall to?
Shang Yanting asked an important question.
##
Southwest coast of Dongjie Sea.
From the air, the cliffs between the two coastlines are steep. Although hundreds of years have passed, and the sea has eroded the cliffs and vegetation has grown, the powerful force of the cleavage in the middle is still evident.
"Wow, it's so deep!"
Jia Xitong hugged Shang Yanting's elbow and looked down, "Is this related to the words Ban Qi left behind?"
The secret to finding the Way lies in a place where night is as bright as day, and light and shadow are like silk threads.
What exactly are you referring to with those seemingly plausible but ultimately ambiguous statements?
"Go down and take a look, and you'll see."
After saying that, Shang Yanting grabbed Jia Xitong's waist and jumped off the cliff, splashing a huge spray of water into the water.
Jia Xitong hurriedly entered the water, and she immediately felt water gushing out of her nose.
I almost suffocated.
In water
The pair of dragon horns on her head gleamed, oxygen entered her nostrils, and seawater was pushed away from her front and back. It seemed that it was just a false alarm.
but……
He jumped off a cliff without even warning; does Shang Yanting think he's funny? (www.cascoo.net)
Jia Xitong glared angrily.
At that moment, another group of people also reached the outer shore. They happened to see the splashes of water as Shang Yanting and Jia Xitong fell into the water.
"Senior brother, what should we do now?"
It seems someone got there before them.
"Keep up."
The cultivator, referred to as the senior brother, said.
Being beaten to it isn't necessarily a bad thing for them. After all, although they have their master's orders, their information is limited, and they don't even know the specific details.
If these two people share the same goal, although the competition will intensify, it won't be without its benefits.
Moreover, as the saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"Dear host, where are we going now?"
Jia Xitong looked at him.
"I don't know, just wandering around."
Shang Yanting immersed himself in the water, feeling the surrounding water flowing around him, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort.
He moved with incredible speed and grace, his body swaying and lithe. Dragon scales were faintly visible on his skin, making the exposed skin feel cold and eerie.
But he was very happy.
Jia Xitong could sense that Shang Yanting at this moment really resembled a dragon cub, frolicking in the sea.
What else can we do but let him be?
She watched with a smile, hoping that Shang Yanting could always be so happy and carefree.
However, Shang Yanting is a very restrained person.
He swam in the sea for a short while, then returned to his mature and composed demeanor.
That's right.
He has always been a steady and reliable person.
"Want to play a little longer?"
Jia Xitong looked at him, indicating that she was happy to see him like that just now.
"Someone has followed us."
Shang Yanting would never admit that he was just playing around!
