Wu'an Academy
"King Qi Wen was captured?" Ma Feifei frowned, his ears immediately perking up.
Who is King Qi Wen? The current ruler of the Qi State, he is one of the most powerful figures on the Azure Dragon Continent, and now he's been kidnapped?
This is quite a bombshell, not to mention that King Qi Wen and he have some history together. In the TV series "Lotus Lantern," his daughter, Azi, had a brief affair with Ma Feifei.
Yes, that's right, it's just a fleeting romance.
"You guys don't know, do you? The Qi State hasn't been very peaceful lately," the people at the next table started talking again.
"I know! It's just that a man in black robes has appeared, arresting people everywhere in the Qi State Kingdom, causing panic among the major sects!"
"Yes! It's that man in black robes. Just a few days ago, he actually broke into the Qi State palace and took King Qi Wen away!"
"Hiss!"
"Has that man in black robes gone mad?! He even dared to kidnap King Qi Wen!"
"Who knows? In any case, the entire Qi State is in complete chaos right now. If King Qi Wen doesn't return, things are likely to get out of hand."
"Yes, I've heard that the princes of Qi State are neither good at literature nor martial arts, and are not up to the task."
"Chaos is on the horizon..."
Ma Feifei listened quietly to the conversation at the next table and fell into deep thought.
He couldn't help but feel that the black-robed man the guests at the next table were discussing looked a bit like Mo Xie...
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Ma Feifei couldn't help but shift his position, trying to squeeze into a corner, since he, Ma Feifei, was the one who started this whole thing.
"I wonder if Mo Xie has betrayed me. I hope he'll use his brain." Ma Feifei was extremely upset and even lost her appetite.
Perhaps because they noticed that Ma Feifei wasn't in a good mood, everyone was quite quiet during the meal. Even the mischievous Zhang Caicai became much more well-behaved and didn't dare to say much.
After a quick dinner, the group went upstairs to their respective rooms to Rest.
Nothing happened that night, and the journey quickened considerably the next morning.
They traveled more than a thousand miles and arrived at 'Wu'an City'.
Wu'an City was a relatively prosperous city within the Chu Kingdom, and the headquarters of the Wu'an Chamber of Commerce, one of the Great Shang in the Chu Kingdom, was located here.
Besides the Wu'an Chamber of Commerce, the fiefdom of the Prince of Wu'an, the younger brother of the previous King Chu Heng Chu Kingdom, was also located here.
Such a bustling town naturally has its own academy.
Its name is also easy to remember: Wu'an Academy.
Wu'an Academy is considered a mid-to-high-level academy in the Chu Kingdom, with a very strong faculty. Not only is the academy's dean Wu'an King Chu Zhan, but one of the vice deans is Wu Chengquan, the president of the Wu'an Chamber of Commerce.
It can be described as an academy that combines power and wealth.
Wu'an Academy is located on the edge of Wu'an City. The academy covers an area of 10,000 acres and currently has tens of thousands of students, thousands of teachers, and tens of thousands of servants.
In terms of learning, Wu'an Academy has implemented a policy that each instructor can teach no more than ten students in order to ensure that students can learn useful cultivation knowledge. In addition, each student will be assigned a servant to take care of their daily life and run errands, so that students can put everything aside and concentrate on their studies.
In addition, Wu'an Academy is incredibly generous in its accommodations. Newly enrolled students can be assigned to a private room, and after a year of study, they can move into a courtyard house with four other students. Students with excellent grades can be directly assigned to a detached house and are provided with servants to attend to them 24 hours a day. It can be said that the academy is dedicated to serving its students.
With such a learning environment, Wu'an Academy naturally became a college that everyone within Norman aspired to attend, attracting tens of thousands of students every year. Unfortunately, Wu'an Academy only enrolls a mere two thousand new students each year.
This year, the Confucian Dao Academy was suddenly added, which led Wu'an Academy to hold a special recruitment competition for new students. In the end, another 2,000 people were admitted, bringing the total number of students recruited in a year to 4,000, the highest in its history.
Ma Feifei had a good impression of the Wu'an Academy, after all, it was rare to find a Wu'an Academy that put students first.
The combination of power and wealth did not lead to the kind of dirty and unsavory information that Ma Feifei had imagined.
However, when Ma Feifei and his group arrived at the gate of the Wu'an Academy, an unexpected incident occurred, as the Wu'an Academy security team guarding the gate refused to let them in!
"Do you know who we are? If I told you, you'd be scared to death! And you still dare to stop us from coming in!" Zhang Caicai was no more than 1.3 meters tall, while the other man was 1.9 meters tall. His arrogant demeanor made them look rather comical.
"I don't care who you are. If you're not a student of the academy and don't have an admission permit, even if you're a powerful Spirit Saint, you won't get in," the gatekeeper instructor said unmoved. He had seen plenty of Power Trip people and wasn't worried at all.
"Hey!" Zhang Caicai instantly became unhappy and was about to continue arguing with the other party when Lian Yi, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly took out a sign and said to the gatekeeper instructor, "Is this the admission permit you mentioned?"
The instructor glanced at the plaque in Lian Yi's hand, nodded slightly, stepped aside in a gesture of invitation, and said, "Welcome to the Wu'an Academy, please come in..."
Ma Feifei and the others glanced at Lian Yi in surprise. Lian Yi head and said smugly to Ma Feifei, "Shopkeeper, please..."
Ma Feifei smiled slightly at the gatekeeper instructor and stepped into the Wu'an Academy first.
The others followed closely behind.
The gatekeeper instructor watched Ma Feifei and his group's retreating figures, muttering thoughtfully to himself, "Shopkeeper..."
Wu'an Academy is so big, but when you walk in, it's empty and vast, and you can't even see a single student.
"This is just the entrance; it's still quite a distance to the Wu'an Academy." Lian Yi seemed very familiar with the area, and she took the initiative to act as a guide, introducing the place to Ma Feifei and the others along the way.
"This Wu'an Academy is really something, not even sending anyone to receive us," Zhang Caicai muttered, clearly displeased.
"That's right, that's right," Ba Jiu chimed in from the side.
Yun Qingyang and Luan Feng, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned.
As for Ma Feifei, she seemed distracted ever since she came in, her brows furrowed, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
"Ma Feifei, what are you thinking about?" Yun Qingyang nudged Ma Feifei's arm and handed him a Plum Blossom.
Ma Feifei took the Plum Blossom and popped it into her mouth, ignoring Yun Qingyang. Instead, she asked Lian Yi, "Miss Lian Yi, are you familiar with the Wu'an Academy?"
Upon hearing this, Lian Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I studied at the Wu'an Academy for three months before."
"Why have you only been studying for three months?" Zhang Caicai asked curiously.
Lian Yi blushed, glanced at Ma Feifei, and whispered, "I've been fired..."
Ma Feifei was also a little surprised to hear this. She hadn't expected that Lian Yi, who seemed so gentle and weak, was actually such a stubborn person! No wonder she was selected.
However, these were not things Ma Feifei needed to focus on. After thinking for a moment, Ma Feifei asked, "Do you know if there is a student named Mu Qingyi in the Wu'an Academy?"
"Mu Qingyi?" Lian Yi asked, somewhat surprised, "Shopkeeper, do you know her?"
Ma Feifei shook his head and said, "I don't know her, but I need to find her now."
Ma Feifei didn't know this person named Mu Qingyi, so why did Ma Feifei know her?
The reason is that when Ma Feifei entered Wu'an Academy, the system prompted him that there was a person in the academy who matched the description of the Book-holding woman, and her name was Mu Qingyi!
