A few days later.
Ever since Chen Lang became famous at Imperial Capital Academy after a single battle, there were naturally no lack of people in the Green Campus who wanted to challenge him.
Although many people held back due to Chen Lang's status and did not want to come looking for trouble, there were always aristocratic descendants who wanted to step on him to make a name for themselves. Of course, they also used "friendly" sparring as an excuse.
Regarding this, Chen Lang did not refuse at all.
Yet the people who sparred with him were almost all defeated in a single move.
Right in the last few days of the end of this semester, the academy's infirmary instead became a bustling place.
Accompanied by one genius youth after another being carried away, this wave of popularity also slowly dissipated.
Judging by Chen Lang's current strength, he even possessed the qualifications to enter the Main Campus. But then again, regardless of whether it was the Main Campus or the Green Campus, they were both the same in his eyes.
The academy could not bring him any greater changes. His purpose in coming here was extremely simple, and that was to go after Ning Xue.
Unconsciously, the end of the semester arrived...
"Classmate Chen Lang, won't you reconsider? Entering the Main Campus will undoubtedly be more helpful for your growth."
Head teacher Zhao Qing sought out Chen Lang once more because he already met the requirements to enter the Main Campus, yet he was not going in!
If it had nothing to do with him, he naturally would not care.
However, you had to know that if Chen Lang could enter the Main Campus, he could also receive generous rewards.
Although Chen Lang was not cultivated by him, since he was in this class, he belonged to his students.
"I have no interest for the time being," Chen Lang said, shaking his head again.
"The Main Campus has more resources. Although the competition is somewhat more intense, with Classmate Chen Lang's strength, I believe you will inevitably have a place there." Zhao Qing still did not want to give up and persuaded him once more.
"Teacher Zhao, you don't need to waste your breath. I have no intention of entering the Main Campus for now."
"..."
Although Zhao Qing did not want to give up, after being rejected once again, he could tell that Chen Lang's mind was made up.
He felt somewhat secretly annoyed in his heart. Shouldn't this age be focused on improving one's cultivation?
How could he be so obsessed with female beauty...
At this moment, even when looking at Ning Xue, he found her somewhat lacking. But these were just thoughts in his heart, and he naturally found it difficult to show them.
Although they could not enter the Main Campus, they could definitely enter the Green Campus elite class together.
Zhao Qing left, and Ning Xue also could not help but speak up: "You could enter the Main Campus. Why do you still want to stay in the Green Campus?"
Chen Lang said indifferently: "The resources of the Main Campus are indeed somewhat more than those of the Green Campus, but to me, these resources are actually dispensable."
Pearl Academy had the Three-Step Tower, and Imperial Capital Academy certainly had special cultivation locations as well.
In fact, the Bashu Chen Clan naturally also possessed such places suitable for cultivation at a certain level. The effects were even guaranteed to be much stronger.
You must know that in this world, not all students originated from academies.
Naturally, quite a few were within clans. Furthermore, those nurtured within families were often bound to far surpass the students within academies.
Yet coming back to it, there were no absolutes, and there would always be a few who walked out of academies and completed a counterattack against the odds.
Seeing Chen Lang say this, Ning Xue did not try to persuade him any further.
"Let's put this aside for a moment. What I discussed with you before, how have you considered it?" Chen Lang asked.
"Are you really... going to come with me?" Ning Xue asked in return.
"Of course, I'm serious."
"..."
Regardless of what Ning Xue was thinking in her heart, when the holiday arrived, Chen Lang still came with her to Bocheng.
As the two of them walked out of the Bocheng train station, he immediately saw a middle-aged man and a driver waiting there.
Seeing Ning Xue come out, the man also hurried forward to welcome his daughter.
Mu Zhuoyun quickly noticed Chen Lang by her side as well and asked, "Ning Xue, this is... your friend?"
To tell the truth, Mu Zhuoyun was slightly surprised.
This was the only person Ning Xue had brought back in the years she went to the imperial capital.
And it was a male!
Ning Xue glanced at Chen Lang, then immediately said, "He's my classmate."
Chen Lang also took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Uncle Mu. My name is Chen Lang, from the Bashu Chen Clan."
An Imperial Capital Academy classmate—that alone was enough for Mu Zhuoyun to hold him in high regard.
And upon hearing the words "Bashu Chen Clan," an expression of both shock and joy immediately surfaced on his face!
The Bashu Chen Clan!
That was a major clan on the same tier as his own Mu Clan!
What kind of "classmate" was this? This was clearly a golden turtle son-in-law!
"..."
Mu Zhuoyun instantly put on a flattering expression, showering Chen Lang with all sorts of warm solicitude.
Even though Chen Lang knew why the other party was acting this way, he still displayed the attitude a junior should have.
This made Mu Zhuoyun extremely satisfied, and at the same time, he was already able to confirm his own thoughts in his heart...
"Dad..." Ning Xue was by the side and truly found it somewhat unbearable to watch, so she called out.
Mu Zhuoyun also snapped back to reality. This was still the station exit, with people coming and going.
"Virtuous Nephew, it was my oversight. Come, let's go home first."
After a few pleasantries of mutual flattery, Mu Zhuoyun's form of address for Chen Lang directly changed to "Virtuous Nephew."
"Then I'll disturb Uncle Mu."
"No disturbance, no disturbance."
While speaking, Chen Lang followed Mu Zhuoyun and his daughter into the car.
After about ten minutes, they arrived outside a rather "grand" villa estate and stopped.
Well, it was about one-tenth the size of the Chen residence in the imperial capital?
Entering the manor, Chen Lang discovered that it was currently brightly lit with festive decorations, seemingly celebrating some happy event.
Chen Lang naturally understood that this wasn't entirely because Ning Xue had come back. There was another point, which was that there would be a spar tomorrow.
While leading the way, Mu Zhuoyun took the initiative to explain, "Haha, Virtuous Nephew, you came at just the right time. There happens to be a match between the younger generation tomorrow. Although it certainly cannot compare to you, if you are bored and want to pass the time, you can certainly come and take a look."
Chen Lang merely nodded.
To tell the truth, in his eyes, the so-called match was nothing more than a peck of chick-fighting among Beginner Mages...
After taking Chen Lang on a tour of the Mu family estate and arranging for him to go rest, Mu Zhuoyun could not wait to find out the situation from Ning Xue.
"Ning Xue, this Young Master Chen and you coming here..."
Seeing Mu Zhuoyun's expected expression, Ning Xue recounted everything except for the matter involving the Spirit Seed and her advancement.
And after listening to Ning Xue's account, Mu Zhuoyun's smile—which had previously possessed a golden son-in-law—instantly vanished!
Because, listening to what Ning Xue described, this was clearly Chen Lang wanting to make his precious daughter a... mistress!!
This was something no father could ever agree to.
Even though Mu Zhuoyun harbored some ambitions and had once thought of relying on his daughter to elevate the Mu family to greater heights, what he had always considered was letting his daughter marry into a good family!
He never intended for his precious daughter to become someone else's little side chick...
