"Hello, junior sister, my name is Fang Lin!"
"That guy over there is called Ye Beikong, and you probably already know that Shen Jie!"
"We are all disciples of the Green Bamboo Sacred Academy!"
Fang Lin walked over, smiled slightly at Ye Yao, and took the initiative to introduce herself.
He also pointed to Ye Beikong, who was holding a sword and followed by a black lizard.
"Ye Yao, a disciple of Dean Mu of Qingzhu Holy Academy, greets you, senior sisters and senior brothers!" Ye Yao greeted them politely.
"This is your companion beast. It even has wings! It's so cute!" Fang Lin couldn't help but touch Lin Chen's forehead when she saw him.
The Eight-Nine Mystic Fox, who had been following Ye Yao, glared at Fang Lin for touching Lin Chen.
Then, it moved its mouth and let out a few roars.
"Fang Lin, I advise you to take your hand away. Do you think you can touch my boss?"
Fang Lin was startled. The silver bird beside her fell from the sky and saw the Eight-Nine Mystic Fox bullying its beast tamer. It walked over and the two beasts stared at each other.
"Shen Jie, you need to take better care of your Eight-Nine Mystic Fox!" Fang Lin turned her head and glared angrily at Shen Jie.
Shen Jie could only manage a wry smile.
Can't you tell that I'm now a licensed beast tamer?
Lin Chen stretched and woke up.
He glanced around.
"Haven't we arrived yet?" Lin Chen glanced at Ye Yao and asked.
Ye Yao shook her head.
"There's still a long way to go!"
"This...is this your companion beast?" The boy from before walked over and looked a little embarrassed when he saw Ye Yao.
He glanced at Lin Chen in Ye Yao's arms, his gaze shifting slightly.
"Yes!" Ye Yao nodded.
"Can I hug you?" The boy looked at Ye Yao with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Ye Yao smiled and glanced at Lin Chen.
You have to ask him!
"Thank you!" the boy said, then looked at Lin Chen and asked, "Can I hug you?"
In fact, Ye Yao already knew that the young man was a girl disguised as a boy.
After all, in her previous life she had disguised herself as a man for fourteen years, which was much more skillful than hers.
Lin Chen glanced at her indifferently.
"Lin Chen, let her hug you!" Ye Yao suddenly whispered to Lin Chen.
After hearing Ye Yao's telepathic message, Lin Chen was first stunned, then noticed that her tone was off.
What's wrong?
Despite her confusion, she still flew into the boy's arms.
The boy walked along, stroking Lin Chen with a big smile on his face.
"So soft, so cute!"
"Thank you so much, Miss Ye Yao!" A young prodigy from Xiadu looked at Ye Yao with a friendly gaze, full of gratitude.
"You're welcome!" Ye Yao smiled.
They look so alike...
"My name is Murong Yunhai. If Miss Ye Yao ever comes to Xiadu and encounters any trouble, please feel free to come to me!" Murong Yunhai held a fan and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Yao.
"The Murong family? You're from the Murong family of Xiadu?" Fang Lin asked in shock.
Murong Yunhai smiled slightly.
"Exactly!"
Fang Lin was even more shocked, as she had naturally heard of the Murong family.
The Murong family is the most prestigious family in Xia Capital. Not only is it powerful, but it is also related to the imperial family, with three empresses in one family!
Ye Yao didn't care about this; it was just a family in one world.
She still remembered that when she was still in her own world, she personally wielded a sword and slaughtered a top-tier family.
"Let's hurry on our way, we should be there soon!" one of the Xia Capital's prodigies said, turning his head.
...
The northwestern border of the Great Xia Empire.
Liangcheng.
Ye Yao and Lin Chen's group arrived in Liangcheng.
The city lord of Liangcheng also led his men out early to greet them.
"City Lord, they are merely prodigies sent by Xia Capital to explore the secret realm. Why did you come to greet them personally?"
One of the lieutenants, noticing the city lord of Liangcheng looking around in confusion, asked a question.
The city lord of Daxia City holds a relatively high position. When ordinary geniuses or family members come here, the city lord does not need to personally come out of the city to greet them.
The city lord of Liangcheng shook his head, then explained:
"If they were just ordinary prodigies, this city lord wouldn't need them, but this one is not as simple as just any ordinary prodigy!"
"Among them are disciples sent by the four Holy Academies, and a princess from the Summer Capital, so I have to take this seriously!"
The Four Great Academies hold extremely high status in the Great Xia Dynasty, with such profound foundations that even the royal family dares not offend them.
Once upon a time, a royal beast-taming master went to several of the four great holy academies in an attempt to subdue it.
As a result, the four Holy Academies were enraged and directly killed the royal beast-taming master. Furthermore, some powerful members of the Holy Academies personally went to the Xia capital.
Although the final outcome was unknown, the royal family announced the next day that the Four Great Sacred Academies would become the Four Great National Sacred Academies of the Great Xia Dynasty, and that members of the royal family were not allowed to interfere.
The fact that an imperial family had bowed down speaks volumes about the terror of the situation.
Therefore, this reason alone is enough for the city lord of Liangcheng to come out, not to mention there is also a princess.
In the distance, the figures of Lin Chen and his group appeared.
"Lord, the people have arrived!" a guard hurriedly reported.
"Alright, everyone get ready!" The city lord of Liangcheng waved his hand hurriedly.
Everyone instantly lined up in two rows, with the city lord and his deputy standing in the middle, ready to receive them.
Upon seeing that all the prodigies had arrived, the city lord of Liangcheng greeted them with a smile.
"Young Master Murong, esteemed prodigies of the Holy Academy, and prodigies of Xia Capital, welcome to Liang City! Please come in!"
"Lord Long, there's no need for such formalities. Let's go inside and talk about that secret realm!" Murong Yunhai smiled slightly and quickly returned the greeting.
Lord Longcheng also knew the importance of the secret realm.
Now, several other empires in the surrounding area have also become aware of the existence of the secret realm!
It's estimated that they'll send some prodigies to investigate soon; otherwise, they wouldn't have asked the four great academies to send their talents.
Therefore, the sooner we explore, the better.
"Alright, let's go to my city lord's mansion for the meeting!" City Lord Long simply abandoned all formalities and said directly.
"The scenery in this Liangcheng is quite nice!" Lin Chen couldn't help but exclaim at the surrounding scenery.
Then, he turned his head and said to Ye Yao, who was hugging him tightly, "Ye Yao, put me down, I'm going to take a walk in Liangcheng!"
"Aren't you coming with me anymore?" Ye Yao asked Lin Chen, puzzled.
"I won't go with you to discuss matters. I'm going to Liangcheng to take a look!" Lin Chen quickly shook his head.
To go to a meeting?
I can't even speak human language, and besides, it's so boring I'd rather die than go!
"Alright!" Ye Yao knew Lin Chen's little scheme, so she had no choice but to agree.
"Boss, take me with you. I heard Bai Feiyang nagging in my ear all day long while I was in the Holy Academy. I finally got away, and I don't want to continue." Eight-Nine Mystic Fox quickly ran over, looking at Lin Chen with a fawning expression.
Lin Chen's eyes lit up slightly. He was just worried about not having a mount and was too lazy to walk.
Here comes the mount!
