The storm of Black-Ink City has passed. After several days of traveling, a huge city appeared on the distant horizon.
"Is that Canaan City?"
I stood on the handrail and looked down at the city. It was not like the cities I saw along the way, and it was probably the only city in Black-Corner Region without city walls--
Most of them are defenseless!
Because the master of this city is Canaan Academy, the most powerful force in the entire Black-Corner Region, they don't even bother to build the city wall. Every student of the Canaan Academy is the thickest city wall in Canaan City.
Of course, the reason why we didn't build the city wall was not only because of pride, but I think it was also because of lack of money.
The tuition fee for the Canaan Academy students is not much, it is almost just a symbolic payment of Gold Coins. But Canaan Academy is so huge, how much Gold Coins does it cost to operate and maintain it every year?
Canaan Academy has no means of profit. The only financial source is Canaan City's taxes. Where will the remaining money come from to build the city wall?
"Wow, wow, wow..."
At this time, several figures suddenly rose into the sky in the city, all of them were genuine Dou Wang Dou Huang expert. They jumped towards the flying Magical Beast. The leader was an old man with white hair and beard. He stopped not far in front of the flying Magical Beast, held his hands in the distance and said:
"I, Canaan Academy, Outer Courtyard Vice Dean Hu Qian, may I ask, are you Gama and Chuyun United Empire's friend?"
I condensed the Purple Cloud Wings, flew off the back of the flying Magical Beast, and returned the salute to him and said, "Gama and Chuyun United Empire, Supervisory Left Division Left Envoy, Nalan Ye, I have kept Hu Dean waiting for a long time."
He briefly sensed my cultivation level, looked at my appearance, raised his brows, and asked in confusion, "A little kid with Da Dou Shi cultivation?"
Several Canaan Academy and Elders behind him also began to whisper to each other. Dou Qi Continent values strength after all, so they sent out Dou Emperor and Dou Wang to greet us, but only one Da Dou Shi came out from our side, which inevitably made them feel humiliated.
Faced with their uncertainty, I shrugged helplessly. This is a concept that has been passed down since ancient times, and I am far from the only one who can change it.
"If Hu Dean has to ask a Dou Huang expert to be our microphone, that's not impossible."
I muttered, turned my head and looked behind me, and shouted, "Teacher, Yun Heng, we are here to meet our guests."
Ling Ying and Yun Heng flew out and landed behind me. The strong auras of Dou Emperor and Dou Wang suppressed the dissatisfaction of the Canaan Academy. People with the same cultivation level are talking to each other. This is polite.
However, Hu Qian soon discovered that these two people were really just my microphones.
For example, he asked Ling Ying, how was it on the way here? Ling Ying didn't answer. Only after I said, "We had a good trip, Black-Corner Region had a nice scenery" did he repeat:
"We had a good trip, Black-Corner Region had a nice scenery."
He asked again: I heard that you are in trouble at Black-Ink City, don't you worry about it? Ling Ying also didn't answer. He just waited for me to finish and then repeated:
"It doesn't matter, the people at Black-Corner Region are very hospitable. Knowing that it was my first time here, they all let me go. I actually bought a Seventh-Rank Pill for only two million Gold Coins."
This situation made Hu Qian grin, and Canaan Academy and several other Elders also frowned. Although on the surface they were talking to Ling Ying, in essence, weren't they just talking to me, Da Dou Shi?
Hu Qian took a deep look at me, finally gave up on the traditional concepts of the past, and chose to talk to me directly.
I smiled slightly and said, "Hu Dean, it's not a problem for me to fly here, so let's go down."
Hu Qian nodded and said, "We have prepared a place in the Canaan Academy, you can come with me."
With a shout, the Hu Qian people led the way, and the seven-head flying Magical Beast followed behind, one after another flying to the Canaan Academy in the middle of Canaan City.
Of course, this is just Outer Courtyard. Canaan Inner Courtyard was transformed from a dilapidated Dou Sheng Small World in the vast mountains outside Canaan City. Dou Zong powerhouse is also in charge, and ordinary Dou Zhe is difficult to approach.
I flew side by side with Hu Qian. He looked back at those young talents, shook his head, and said regretfully, "Left Envoy, there is not even a Da Dou Shi among them?"
"Dean, we Jialian Empire also have many people studying in your institute, those people..."
I turned my head and looked at Hu Qian, and said with a smile, as if you know something. Hu Qian was stunned, and quickly shook his head, refusing to agree to include those people in the Jialian Empire's team.
After a pause, he added, "Left Envoy, do you recognize Xiao Yan? He seems to be from your empire too."
Xiao Yan?
Why did Hu Qian suddenly mention him? Did that guy do something else in the Canaan Academy?
For a moment, I actually felt like a parent being interviewed by the school - this feeling is not bad!
*** coughed and said in a deep voice, "Dean, if it weren't for the same name, the Xiao Yan you are talking about should be my uncle... Did he commit something in the academy?"
"Dean, he is just a child. If he makes any mistakes, you must not punish him!"
"If you have anything to do, tell me. If he damages your property and needs compensation, tell me. When I see him, I will reprimand him face to face."
My series of words made Hu Qian stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, stroking his beard and said, "No, no, Left Envoy, Xiao Yan, this little baby is fine!"
There was a trace of pride on his old face, and he stroked his beard and praised Xiao Yan to me. He simply regarded him as Outer Courtyard, a peerless good student who is rare to see in ten years.
I was amazed when I heard this. If this were the case in the past, wouldn't Xiao Yan be given a "five-striped stick"?
"Since Left Envoy knows Xiao Yan, he should also know Xun Er, right? That girl is not bad, but she is too low-key."
Hu Qian suddenly mentioned Xun Er. I nodded and said with a smile, "My fiancée is from the Xiao Family tribe. I came to the Canaan Academy this time not only for official business, but also to meet her."
At this time, he and I had also flown into the Canaan Academy, and the two of us stopped above a secluded courtyard. I looked down and saw several people in the courtyard, standing, sitting, or waiting eagerly - it was a girl in a red dress.
"Mei Er!"
When I saw my charming little fiancée, I forgot about this bad old man Hu Qian in the blink of an eye, and flew towards her, causing the breeze to sway, causing her red skirt to sway.
I jumped into the pavilion and held her delicate body in my arms. Because the inertia of the dive was too great, I couldn't stop. I kept holding her and walking forward quickly until her back was leaning against a pillar, and the two of them were able to stabilize their bodies.
With the warm and fragrant nephrite in my arms, I buried my head in her hair and took a deep breath. The faint fragrance penetrated into my heart. Only then did I lower my head and look at her pure and charming face, only to find that her eyes had turned red without knowing it.
I panicked for a moment, held her little face in my hands and asked, "Mei Er, what's wrong with you? Did I move too much just now and hurt you?"
After saying that, I stretched out my hand to rub her back. Her back must have hurt when she hit a pillar just now. But unexpectedly, she punched me in the chest and she burst into tears. Tears kept pouring out of her red eyes.
"Big liar!"
"Didn't you die in Fox Pass?"
"Weren't you killed by Snake-People!"
"Why aren't you dead yet..."
She gritted her teeth, but her tears couldn't stop flowing. Every time she said a word, she punched me in the chest.
After all, she was a Dou Zhe, and she was very strong. It hurt me a little when she hit her, but I couldn't stop her, so I could only let her hit her. While being beaten, she said:
"Ouch! Stop hitting me. If you hit me again, I will really die."
My screams were so fake and exaggerated that she burst into laughter and stopped hitting me, while bursts of laughter could be heard from the side.
I held Mei Er and turned my head to look. Not far away, Xiao Yan and Xun Er were sitting at a stone table drinking tea. Xiao Yu was leaning on a pillar and doing nothing. There was also a strange boy standing next to him. After thinking about it, he should be Xiao Yu's younger brother Xiao Ning.
"Everyone is here, long time no see!"
