Departure

After he arrived in this world, he discovered that there were truly many beautiful women, especially those who cultivated. As long as they weren't particularly weak or didn't cultivate those insidious Cultivation Technique, they could basically be as beautiful as the class or department beauties in his previous life.

As soon as the girl appeared, Lin Qing noticed that the students around her were looking at her with a certain intensity. There was even a hint of affection in their gazes. Come to think of it, such a gentle and beautiful older sister figure would surely attract many people.

'This must be Ruolin, right?'

Lin Qing pondered to himself, after all, in his memory, the only one from the Jia Nan Academy who fit the image was her.

"Okay, Ruolin, junior!"

Ma Jun smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute, then addressed the girl.

'It really was her!'

Hearing Ma Jun's words, Lin Qing confirmed his suspicions. Then he wondered: I wonder if Xiao Yu and the others are in the group?

Lin Qing activated his soul perception and indeed discovered Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei. In addition, he also detected several familiar auras, including Xue Mei and Feilin, which did not surprise him.

After all, the Xue Clan and the City Lord's Manor had already submitted to him, and he had also promised to take them as his disciples if they reached the fifth rank before graduation.

It seems these two are worth considering. Even if they don't reach the fifth rank, they can still lend a hand.

If he can be trained to a Seventh-Grade, that would be enough for the Northwest Continent. Surely, the Fama and Flame Alliance can train a fifth-rank, but he can't?

However, to his surprise, the girl named Qing Ye whom he had met in Qing Mountain Town was also there. Judging from her aura, she had also reached the level of Two-Star Fighter Dou Zhe. A two-star at the age of 17 was quite good in the Jia Ma Empire, and her talent was on par with Xue Mei Feilin.

Then he remembered the admiring look in her eyes. He had told her that he would go to the Jia Nan Academy, so it was normal for her to follow him.

He wouldn't try to discourage her; on the contrary, he felt that such a person was pure, because he had once been like that himself. It was all about empathy. If she was of any use, he wouldn't mind giving her a chance.

On the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Xiao Yi Xian noticed that Lin Qing's gaze remained fixed on the mentor named Ruolin, and murmured softly:

"Does the young master know this person? Or is there something special about this person?"

Qing Lin grasped Xiao Yi Xian's hand, blinked her large, emerald-green eyes, and said softly:

"Sister Xiao Yixian, perhaps Brother Lin Qing has thought of something?"

Ruolin glanced around the plaza, her gaze settling on the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Lin Qing, and said with a smile:

"It seems like the senior student learned a lot this time!"

Ma Jun chuckled when he heard Ruolin's words:

"Haha, not bad! Not bad! A total of fifty-two people passed the test this time, plus ten senior students and me, making a total of sixty-three. However, two girls were accompanied by an elder. The Magical Beast was a Tier 6 Amethyst Winged Lion King, Elder Lin's mount."

Ma Jun pointed at Lin Qing, then asked:

"Junior, this is your first time being a mentor. I bet you did pretty well, right? Would you like your senior to give you some feedback?"

"Hehe, the harvest was alright, but not as good as yours, senior!"

Ruolin smiled slightly.

Lin Qing could tell that both of them had their own agendas, each wanting to recruit some talented students from the other, and neither of them dared to criticize the other.

Ma Jun then turned to the crowd behind him and said:

"Come with me, everyone! We're going back to the Jia Nan Academy!"

The senior students all knew the location. They walked up to the Flying Magical Beast, circulated their Dou Qi, and leaped up onto the Flying Magical Beast.

After arranging the new students' seats, Ma Jun jogged over to Lin Qing and said:

"Master Lin, you can have your Magical Beast fly with us in a bit. When we arrive at the academy, the Elder Council come to greet you."

"Um!"

Lin Qing nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Lin Qing agreed, Ma Jun also activated his Dou Qi and jumped onto one of the Flying Magical Beast. As the last one to jump onto Magical Beast, the Flying Magical Beast spread its wings, raising clouds of dust, and took off.

Lin Qing summoned his Dou Qi Wings, and with a flap of his wings, he leaped back onto the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Upon seeing Lin Qing return to its back, the Lion spoke:

"Young Master, are we heading to the Jia Nan Academy?"

Lin Qing nodded and said:

"Yes, Lion, just follow them!"

"Yes, young master!"

Having said that, the Lion flapped its wings and took flight, closely following the Flying Magical Beast herd.

At the same time, the people Lin Qing had just noticed also spotted Lin Qing, but due to the academy's rules, they couldn't leave their Flying Magical Beast.

"Cousin! Cousin! I just saw my cousin!"

Xiao Mei excitedly called out to Xiao Yu beside her:

Xiao Yu nodded, gently biting her red lips, and said earnestly:

"I saw him too. Let's go find him when we get to the academy!"

"Cousin, do you miss your cousin too?"

Xiao Mei, with a mischievous grin, put her arm around Xiao Yu, then tickled Xiao Yu's waist and teased her.

"Haha! You little brat! Stop it! You're no different!"

Caught off guard, Xiao Yu immediately launched a counterattack. The playful banter between the two beauties filled the room with a warm, spring-like atmosphere, though unfortunately, no one could appreciate the scene yet.

"Xue Mei, did you just see Master Lin? Do you think we can really become Master Lin's disciples? But even if we can't become disciples, being the master's woman is pretty good too!"

"That's what Feilin said in a very casual way."

She had a somewhat impulsive personality. She really wanted to become his disciple immediately, but then she thought that he was so outstanding and handsome, becoming his woman wouldn't be bad either. However, becoming his woman after becoming his disciple seemed even more exciting.

"Let's become Fifth-Grade Alchemist first!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Mei blushed, then rolled her eyes charmingly, shook her head, and said softly.

She also had a little hope of seeing him again. Even if she couldn't become his student, it would be nice to see such an outstanding and handsome person occasionally. It's not so easy to catch someone's eye.

Qing Ye stared at Lin Qing outside the window with a fascinated expression, muttering to herself:

"Senior! It's really goodbye! You'd be surprised if you saw me!"

On the broad back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Lin Qing gently held Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, and the three of them quietly watched the white clouds flying by.

Since all three of them could fly, they didn't find flying particularly novel; they just found it a bit boring to keep flying in the sky.

Suddenly, the Xiao Yi Xian in Lin Qing's arms looked up at Lin Qing and said:

"Young master, is there anyone or anything at the Jia Nan Academy?"

She suspected that Lin Qing went to the Jia Nan Academy to find a woman with a unique physique, or that Jia Nan Academy had something important, because only these two things could make Lin Qing so clear-headed and persistent.

"Jia Nan Academy!"

Lin Qing thought for a moment and then said:

"Jia Nan Academy has many good things, especially those who enter the top five in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, which will grant them a chance to enter the Jia Nan Academy Treasure Pavilion. There are some things there that even Dou Zong and Dou Zun expert would covet."
