Facing the three teachers of Ningshen Academy, no matter who was on the whale's back, they all maintained absolute respect, and even a little fear, and did not dare to talk casually. But when Xia Xiao walked towards Chuan Lian, his expression was natural, without any tension.
Xia Xiao, noticing everyone's gazes, murmured to himself, the reason why Ningshen Academy has been able to gain a foothold in the Great Wilderness and become famous far and wide is because it teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. If he doesn't even have a chance to speak, wouldn't it be a waste of his reputation as a student whose talents do not speak for themselves?
At the Whale Head, the three teachers closed their eyes and rested, feeling the wind between the clouds, waiting to return to Ningshen Academy for meditation and practice.
Seeing Xia Xiao coming, Fang Hai took another instructor away, leaving only Chuan Lian. But the latter looked embarrassed and waved his hand, asking Xia Xiao to come forward and get closer to him.
"You got something to ask?"
"nature."
Chuan Lian scratched his head, asking questions knowingly, without the seriousness he had shown before. This was his first time in charge of the college's enrollment, and he was not particularly familiar with these matters. If it weren't for Fang Hai leading the team, something might have gone wrong.
"Don't call me senior, call me brother. I'm only one year older than you, don't make it so strange."
Now the competition is over, and they will go to Ningshen College soon. When they get there, they will be a family, and it is not good to be so estranged. Xia Xiao is never polite before such things, and he calls her whenever he wants.
"Brother, I want to know Shu Shuang's identity."
"Leave the First Church? The Emperor's followers."
Chuan Lian said it without hesitation, which made Xia Xiao smile bitterly. This was how he answered his senior brother when he was at Cangyun Peak in Rongcheng, but the latter's reaction clearly showed that this answer was wrong. Now he answered like this again, wasn't he just making fun of himself?
Xia Xiao was not so easy to fool, but Chuan Lian did not know Shu Shuang's identity. The only ones who really knew were probably Fang Hai and the vice president. The latter was not easy to meet. Chuan Lian had only seen him once at the opening ceremony four years ago. So how could Xia Xiao ask Fang Hai?
No, if that happens, I will definitely be punished by the senior. Therefore, Chuan Lian followed Fang Hai's meaning and said:
"That night in the Wanling City Palace, His Majesty the Pope showed up and explained Shu Shuang's origins. You don't have to worry too much. It doesn't matter who she is because she is not an enemy."
Xia Xiao knew that he could only believe his master. It was useless for him to pursue what his master didn't want to tell him.
"Thank you for your help, Senior Brother."
"You're welcome. We're all family from now on."
Xia Xiao smiled and turned away. Seeing this, Chuan Lian also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xia Xiao did not pursue him relentlessly, otherwise this matter would be really difficult to handle.
Chuanlian gave Xia Xiao an urgent feeling of anticipation, making him want to go to Ningshen Academy as soon as possible. What kind of place should it be that allows some students to give up their hometowns, become a part of it, and serve it loyally? This kind of magic is always a bit dreamy.
The great whale swam, soaring through the sea of clouds and into the sky, and below it, countless cities and mountains flashed by one by one.
Opening a box of pastries, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang shared the sweet and crispy aroma, just like they were on a spring outing. As the saying goes, if you take something from someone, you will be grateful, and if you eat something from someone, you will be soft-hearted. Eating this small piece of pastry is probably like being on the same road with him. Many people can't wait to embark on this road, but many people are afraid.
Xia Xiao didn't think too much about it. Whoever wanted to eat, just come over and he would give it to them. If they didn't want to eat, he wouldn't force them.
The box of cakes was soon finished. Su Huan, who had grown her hair long in Wanling Valley, cut it into a spirited short haircut again. The short hair was cool, but at this moment, a hint of comfort appeared on her handsome face. The gentle breeze in the air, coupled with the cakes, was really refreshing.
Mainly this road, it is so delightful.
Although Ningshen Academy is located in the vast mountains, it is not in the mortal world, so it can only be entered from the sky.
"Out of Daxia's borders!"
After Fang Hai finished speaking, many people stood up and stood on both sides of the whale's back to look at the land underneath.
Because the whale descended a little, the clouds no longer blocked their view, and the scenery they saw became clearer.
This vast land is the Peace Zone, which has nearly one-tenth of the territory of Daxia, but it does not belong to the country, but to an independent force called the Adventurer's Guild. This force is comparable to the Ningshen Academy, and even though it looks like an ordinary small country at this time, its strength should not be underestimated.
After walking a little further, we entered the green mountains.
The best time of the year is spring, when the mountains have a unique kind of red.
The whale continued to travel for a long time, and according to Xia Xiao's accurate judgment, the mountains were close to the peaceful area. In such a large uninhabited area, only the Tongtian Peak that appeared in his eyes at this time was different.
It is tall and towering, with its top shrouded in clouds and difficult to detect. The mountainside is straight and difficult to climb. The foot of the mountain is the most gorgeous, with a riot of colors, attracting birds and butterflies to cheer and people to smile.
This large sea of flowers immediately attracted the attention of Xia Xiao and the others. Was it because of all the flowers and trees on the mountain that it was so colorful? Or was it blooming just for them to welcome their arrival?
The sound of the whale was long and resonant. I wondered if it was an echo or a companion in the sea of flowers. But where it was heading, there were two rows of blue-tiled houses. The houses were simple, and even though they were under thousands of flowers, they did not look vulgar at all. Instead, they made people feel as if they were in another world, completely different from the mundane world.
The big whale fell. Next to the blue-tiled house, hundreds of people were already standing on a blue-brick square.
Today was the first day of school, so there were quite a few people here. However, the gazes of those people left Xia Xiao no time to appreciate the surrounding scenery, so he became cautious.
It would be a shame to expose the murderous intention in such a place, but the other party was obviously the younger generation of Nanshang. Although the hundreds of people here were not dressed in the same clothes, they all stood in waves, showing their sense of unity. When Xia Xiao and others came, those people looked hateful, as if they wanted to stir up some unrest.
Judging from the number of people on the other side, there were a lot more than on his side, about 50 people. The leader was a handsome young man wearing a black and red robe, with a solemn face and an imperial aura.
That was the crown prince Wang Ling of the Southern Business Empire! It was said that he was virtuous and had extraordinary talent for cultivation. He was just over seventeen years old, but he had the strength of the middle stage of the young age of the Venerable Realm. Such strength really shocked Xia Xiao, but his arrogant and disdainful look at this time was too contemptuous! In Wang Ling's eyes, no one in the Great Xia Dynasty could compare with him.
Suddenly, the two of them confronted each other. Whether it was the war between the two countries or the passion between the younger generations, they were unwilling to admit defeat and unwilling to blink an eye.
"Fire? The smell of medicine is starting to waft."
Chuan Lian smiled evilly, but Fang Hai was very satisfied and said:
"It's better to fight."
This is not what the teacher said. Other colleges are afraid of accidents, but the teachers here are eager for students to have conflicts and then turn the world upside down. Young people are passionate. If they persuade them to stop fighting and quarreling, wouldn't they become saints? In that case, what else can they teach? What else can they learn? On the contrary, the teaching in the early stage of Ningshen College is to promote nature, rather than forcibly suppress it.
Fang Hai spoke up, reminding the thirty-six people of Daxia.
"Wait a moment, we'll be back later!"
When everyone nodded, Xia Xiao still looked at Wang Ling calmly. The latter seemed to want to use his tyrannical and overbearing momentum to intimidate him, but he underestimated himself. However, how much hatred and resentment did this glare of anger have? Nan Shang took the initiative to attack Da Xia, so the latter should be more resentful, but Wang Ling did not hesitate to express his anger.
"Where is Siying?"
Wang Ling suddenly asked. In his impression, Siying was the most worthy opponent in the Great Xia Dynasty. Defeating him would mean the fall of the Great Xia Dynasty, but he had not seen the guy of his age.
"I eliminated him."
Xia Xiaoyun was calm and composed, but it would be an extremely interesting scene if Si Ying and Wang Ling met. These two arrogant and stubborn guys might start a verbal fight and then a physical one.
Eliminated? Wang Ling frowned. If so, wouldn't he be left without an opponent? How boring that would be.
Nan Shang Badu is far away from Da Xia Zhenxun, but on the way here, he heard the teacher mention Da Xia. It was Xia Xiao who eliminated Siying. Is this kid in front of him Xia Xiao?
Wang Ling looked at him and always felt that this guy was calm and composed, but looking at him repeatedly like this was like picking out a girl in a dark room with red candles.
"It would be better if you were eliminated, but from today on, you will be my opponent!"
Wang Ling performed a salute without saying anything, which surprised Xia Xiao. Wasn't he just an idiot?
"Although Wang Ling is arrogant by nature, he is also an upright person. He regards you as an opponent, so others dare not provoke you easily."
As the son of a loyal minister, Si Qingling knows a lot about the enemy country, which can be considered a way of caring about the world. But Xia Xiao smiled bitterly and said:
"Should I thank him?"
"No! What I mean is that you have to concentrate on competing with him. If he chooses you, you can't quit. In your first year at Ningshen Academy, before heading to the mountainside, the biggest enemy you will face is him."
Ningshen Academy will be divided into classes later. If they are in the same class, they should be more careful, but Xia Xiao doesn't think Wang Ling can do anything to him. But the so-called uprightness is all lies, it's just blatant evil. But Wang Ling's methods are used, he is not afraid.
Buzz——
The piercing sound was extremely loud, and when the hundreds of people looked up, they saw a surprised scene. From this point on, their views on Ningshen Academy changed a little.
