Zizhou had just walked down the gangway and his feet touched solid ground. He stretched his stiff body and looked around curiously. At this moment, his attention was attracted by several people standing in the hall not far away. Those people had tall postures and serious expressions, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary passengers.
Just as Zizhou was secretly speculating about their identities, a familiar figure appeared beside him—Dean Songhe. Dean Songhe smiled and patted Zizhou on the shoulder. Then he looked at those people and spoke to Zizhou in a gentle and soothing tone.
"Don't be nervous, kid. Look at those people over there. They are not ordinary people. They are the guards of the palace wizard. They are here not only because of your amazing magic, but more importantly, an important person wants to meet a talented young man like you. So, you don't have to worry about anything, just go with them."
After saying that, Dean Songhe gently pinched Zizhou's arm, as if to convey his confidence to him.
"Hello, are you Mr. Qin Zizhou?" The voice came with a hint of politeness and inquiry. Although the leader asked this, his sharp and firm eyes were staring straight at Zizhou, as if he had already confirmed the identity of the person in front of him without a doubt. This gaze was like an invisible ray, penetrating all disguises and doubts and reaching the truth.
Faced with such a direct and determined gaze, Zizhou did not hesitate at all and responded frankly: "Yes, I am Qin Zizhou." As soon as he finished speaking, the team leader and Dean Songhe looked at each other, as if they were conveying some kind of tacit understanding with their eyes. Then, Dean Songhe nodded slightly and patted Zizhou's shoulder gently. This pat contains trust, encouragement and unspoken instructions.
Zizhou understood what he meant. He knew the deep meaning behind Dean Songhe's move. So, he followed the leader of the security team without hesitation, his figure gradually walked away and finally disappeared from people's sight.
They did not stay in the bustling city of Mingzhu for too long. As soon as he got off the plane, he hurriedly changed planes, boarded another flight, and flew straight to the imperial capital. When Zizhou heard Dean Songhe tell him on the plane that someone wanted to see him, he already had some guesses in his mind. According to his thinking, the person who came to invite him this time was either a magician in the palace or someone with a higher status and more respected identity. Sure enough, Zizhou followed this mysterious team of wizards all the way and finally arrived at the core area of the imperial capital - the ancient and solemn palace. This is where the court mages live, called the "Ancient Palace".
As soon as he arrived at his destination, Zizhou's attention was attracted by a familiar figure. Looking closely, he found that it was his old acquaintance Lu Huan. Lu Huan's face was full of joy and he walked quickly towards me. His steps seemed a little hurried, but he could not conceal his inner excitement and joy.
"Zizhou, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time. We invited you here this time for the magic structure you mentioned. We have made some initial progress, but there are still some problems. I would like to ask if you have any way to improve it?"
At this moment, Lu Huan's passionate words were abruptly interrupted by a voice from behind: "Lu Huan, you are too impatient! People have come all the way here, and you don't let them rest for a while. Why are you so impatient?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person speaking was an old man. His hair looked a little messy, but he looked energetic and dignified. That majestic aura seemed to be able to overwhelm everything, and those eyes as sharp as an eagle could easily see through people's hearts, making people know at a glance that he was shrewd and capable and was no ordinary person.
At this moment, Zizhou was looking the old man up and down, secretly guessing his identity and background. Little did he know that at the same time, the old man was also looking at Zizhou carefully, his eyes moving back and forth over him, as if he wanted to see through him.
Pang Lai is the chief court wizard in the Palace Magic Association! He is famous and has unfathomable magical skills, and is highly respected by everyone. His favorite student Jiang Yu is also a gifted person. This time he was fortunate enough to participate in the training of the National Team.
Pang Lai has always placed high hopes on Jiang Yu, hoping that his beloved disciple can become a leader among his peers and shine the most dazzling light. However, when he witnessed the amazing strength and extraordinary talent displayed by the mysterious young man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.
Watching the young man's heroic and free-spirited performance in the battle, Pang Lai deeply realized that the times are constantly changing and evolving, and that batches of talented and outstanding people will emerge in every period. As the saying goes, "Talents emerge in every generation", there will never be a shortage of amazing up-and-coming talents in this world! Thinking of this, Pang Lai couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile. Although Jiang Yu was not the best, he believed that in such a fiercely competitive environment, his student would continue to grow and one day achieve an extraordinary career.
After all, the aura emanating from Zizhou was too powerful and mysterious. Even someone as experienced and old as Pang Lai could not fully see through it. Not to mention Pang Lai's student Jiang Yu. When he faced Zizhou's unfathomable aura, he felt as if he was in a fog and couldn't find his direction at all.
"My friend, you have traveled all the way here, and you must be very tired after sitting on the plane for such a long time. Why don't you have a good rest first. As for those issues that need to be improved, we can discuss them together tomorrow." Pang Lai said with a smile, his tone full of concern.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
"Thank you for your concern and understanding, I am grateful!" Zizhou quickly expressed his heartfelt gratitude. Afterwards, he followed the waiter to the arranged room to rest.
This is a simple lounge, a good place for a temporary rest. It is fully equipped with all daily necessities and even has a pager by the door, which obviously takes the needs of the guests into consideration.
The bathroom was spacious and bright, enough to accommodate several people at the same time. After Zizhou walked into the bathroom, he had an idea and summoned Jiao Miguo and Yan Ling from his contract space.
Looking at the two cute little guys in front of him, Zizhou's face was filled with a happy smile. He first adjusted the water temperature to a suitable temperature, and then gently placed the burnt rice crackers into the water. I saw the scorched rice fruit swimming happily in the water, and crystal clear water droplets splashing around, like sparkling pearls.
Then, Zizhou turned his gaze to Yan Ling. Yan Ling looked arrogant at first, and muttered, "Hmph, I don't need a bath!" However, when Zizhou gently stroked his hair with his hand, Yan Ling quickly let go of his reserve and began to enjoy the pleasure of bathing. After a while, it was splashing around in the water happily, even more lively than the burnt rice cake.
The whole bathroom was filled with laughter, and the relationship between the man and the two animals became increasingly intimate. Zizhou scrubbed their bodies carefully, and every movement was full of love and care; Jiao Miguo made clear and pleasant sounds from time to time, as if expressing his inner joy; and Yan Ling was so engrossed in the play that he completely forgot his previous words of disgust.
In such a warm and harmonious atmosphere, time passes quietly. Finally, Zizhou looked at the clean and refreshing scorched rice fruit and Yanling with satisfaction, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment. This special bath not only washed away the dirt on their bodies, but also brightened their hearts.
Ever since that arduous experience began, Zizhou has never had a peaceful and sound sleep that allows his body and mind to completely relax. Every night, he was troubled by various thoughts and found it difficult to fall asleep. Sometimes, he would feel anxious because of the thought of completing a task; sometimes, it was because the things he experienced during the day kept replaying in his mind, and his thoughts gradually increased.
This time, however, things are really different. After a long period of running around and mental tension, Zizhou can finally take a break. Both the body and mind are in desperate need of a deep and quiet rest to restore vitality. At this moment, he could finally lie on the comfortable bed, letting the fatigue overwhelm him like a tide, and then slowly fall into the long-lost sweet dream.
