Raising Cultivation, Just Come to the Mysterious Bookstore

"Hey, you two, reading?" Ma Feifei walked over and sat down opposite them.

"Brother Ma," Zhou Zhuling's gaze immediately shifted from her book upon hearing Ma Feifei's voice. Zhou Guanyu, who was about to speak, couldn't help but roll his eyes and fell silent, his eyes fixed on My Fair Princess.

Zhou Zhuling glanced at Zhou Guanyu, closed My Fair Princess in her hands, and handed it to him with a smile. "Here, you can read it."

Zhou Guanyu was stunned. Since the siblings started reading My Fair Princess together, he hadn't had a chance to touch the book, let alone read it alone. He always read at Zhou Zhuling's pace. Now, she was actually giving it to him?

Zhou Guanyu looked at his sister, then at Ma Feifei, and nodded, as if he understood something.

"Tsk tsk," Zhou Guanyu couldn't help but smack his lips, took the book, and shook his head. "This is the power of love!"

He then ran off to another table to read. Zhou Zhuling blushed at his last remark, stole a glance at Ma Feifei, and lowered her head slightly.

Ma Feifei chuckled and didn't respond.

He didn't care who was reading; he had already collected Spirit Crystals for two people.

"Miss Zhou, I heard the Dragon Ranking competition at Zhenguan Academy is in a few days. Will you be going to watch?"

Zhou Zhuling didn't know why Ma Feifei suddenly asked this. She said, "My father is the Vice Principal of Zhenguan Academy, and he presides over the Dragon Ranking competition every year. As for me, due to my health, I haven't been able to watch the Dragon Ranking competition for several years~~"

Speaking of which, Zhou Zhuling glanced at Ma Feifei and asked, "Brother Ma, are you going to the Imperial Capital to watch the Dragon Ranking competition?"

Ma Feifei nodded. "Yes, I heard the Dragon Ranking competition is very lively, and I want to see it."

However, he couldn't do business with Zhou Zhuling right now. He had seen her illness before; it was indeed not suitable for long-distance travel. Resting at home was the best choice.

"Then I'll go to this year's Dragon Ranking competition too," Zhou Zhuling said, her large eyes filled with excitement as she looked at Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei shook his head. "Your health is so poor, you shouldn't go."

He was genuinely afraid something might happen to Zhou Zhuling.

Zhou Zhuling smiled gently. "My health has improved a lot these days, it's fine."

Zhou Zhuling wasn't lying. Although her condition hadn't improved, it had been suppressed. She hadn't coughed up blood for a long time, and her complexion had improved significantly, no longer so pale.

Ma Feifei felt he had no reason to stop her, so he could only agree. However, he didn't mention going to the Imperial Capital together with Zhou Zhuling anymore, as if he had forgotten his original purpose for coming.

Zhou Zhuling, on the other hand, became more composed. Seeing that Ma Feifei was no longer stopping her, she was very happy and her whole demeanor became more spirited. She looked at Ma Feifei with grace and said, "Can Zhuling go to the Imperial Capital with Brother Ma?"

Ma Feifei looked up into Zhou Zhuling's eyes. This time, Zhou Zhuling didn't lower her head to avoid his gaze. Her clear, large eyes stared directly at Ma Feifei, and he could even see his own reflection in them.

Subconsciously, Ma Feifei nodded. "Okay."

Crack!

At some point, Yun Qingyang appeared beside Ma Feifei and slammed a hand on the table, coolly saying, "Together, okay, pay up."

After speaking, Yun Qingyang glanced at Ma Feifei with a look of disdain in her eyes.

"..."

On the road to the Imperial Capital, the three hundred students of Zhenguan Academy soared through the clouds on giant roc birds, chatting in small groups.

Although the Qin and Chu kingdoms were not at war this time, for these three hundred students of Zhenguan Academy, regardless of whether the national war had broken out or not, they were all heroes, adding a rich stroke to their life resumes.

They would also have bragging rights in the future, able to loudly proclaim, "I was also someone who participated in the Qin-Chu war!" It was a rare occasion in five thousand years, a great honor.

News had also come from the academy: upon their return, all three hundred students would receive double rewards from both the country and the academy. Therefore, the young prodigies were all very excited along the way.

Oh, I forgot, only two hundred and ninety-nine of the three hundred students would receive commendations. The remaining one would be expelled by the academy, and that person was Yang Chengzhi.

"Are you sure Yang Chengzhi didn't return to the academy?" On the foremost roc bird, the Wu Zhang brothers stood at the rear, facing a man in a blue robe. The man was in his early twenties, about 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome and refined appearance, truly deserving the title of a handsome man.

He was Xiaoyaozi, who had held the first place on the Dragon Ranking since entering Zhenguan Academy.

Beside Xiaoyaozi, a beautiful woman was leaning against him. When she heard Xiaoyaozi mention Yang Chengzhi, her brow twitched inadvertently.

Junior Brother Wu lowered his head slightly when facing Xiaoyaozi and said softly, "Yes, Senior Brother Zhang and I encountered him in town."

Senior Brother Zhang nodded beside him, confirming the incident.

"Are you afraid of being expelled by the academy when you return?" Xiaoyaozi gazed at the vast sky ahead and sneered.

"The Dragon Ranking competition is about to begin. He might be planning to wait until then to achieve a ranking and have the academy cancel his punishment," Senior Brother Zhang said hesitantly.

"With his cultivation of Spirit Master Sixth Stage?" Xiaoyaozi smiled faintly. He glanced at the three hundred students behind him and said, "The lowest cultivation here is Spirit Master Eighth Stage, isn't it?"

"Moreover, the new students recruited by the academy this year are said to be the strongest in a thousand years, with gifted individuals everywhere. Does he, Yang Chengzhi, expect to achieve a ranking in the Dragon Ranking competition with his Spirit Master Sixth Stage cultivation?"

Junior Brother Wu, hearing this, pouted and said nothing.

Senior Brother Zhang seemed to want to say something, but ultimately held back.

As if by unspoken agreement, neither of them mentioned the fight they had with Yang Chengzhi, nor did they tell Xiaoyaozi that Yang Chengzhi's cultivation had broken through.

When the two remained silent, Xiaoyaozi didn't mind. He reached out and pulled the beautiful woman into his embrace, gazing into the distance, and said lightly, "If there's a chance, kill him."

This was the demeanor of a strong individual, deciding someone's life and death with a few words.

At this time, in the Mysterious Bookstore, Ma Feifei sat opposite Yang Chengzhi, holding a red cloak and gesturing animatedly towards him, spitting as he spoke.

In contrast, Yang Chengzhi sat there with an embarrassed expression, listening to Ma Feifei.

"Brother Yang, don't worry, I guarantee you'll look incredibly cool in this cloak. You'll have no problem attracting a crowd of fangirls at the Dragon Ranking competition."

A couple of days ago, Ma Feifei had specifically gone to order a cloak for Yang Chengzhi over the weekend. As soon as Yang Chengzhi arrived at the bookstore today, Ma Feifei was ready to give it to him. However, Yang Chengzhi seemed reluctant, which led to this scene.

Yang Chengzhi awkwardly pulled at the corner of his mouth and glanced at the large characters on the back of the red cloak. "The cloak is quite nice, but these words on the back..."
