All He Lacked Was an Opportunity

Brush.

The sound faded.

Half a watermelon, emitting cold air, suddenly appeared in front of Lu Changzhi, along with a spoon.

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi looked at him strangely and took the watermelon.

"Is this a real melon?!"

Unexpected as it may be, there's no reason not to enjoy a melon that's already in your mouth, especially one that's chilled.

While Lu Changzhi was eating, the system began to recount the process of finding out the information.

"So, we really met in the library?"

Having heard the gist of it, Lu Changzhi spoke softly.

"A top student from the prestigious Myriad Laws Academy, disguised as a man, drinking and chatting happily with Ah Huan, this..."

Lu Changzhi's first thought was, "Hmm, this situation seems somewhat familiar."

But on second thought, what Mu Fan said made a lot of sense.

After all, Xiao Ye's surname is Xiao.

Moreover, given Xiao Ye's book-eating diligence, his vast knowledge might not be very appealing to the geniuses of ordinary forces, but for students of the Academy...

If he remembered correctly, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's introduction to Shen Wenxi mentioned her intelligence.

"So, it seems my apprentice is about to have some luck with women."

After taking another bite of melon, Lu Changzhi sighed.

For some reason, I suddenly had the illusion that my child had grown up.

"However, it seems this Xiang Clan intends to interfere."

Lu Changzhi frowned again quickly.

Even if Xiao Ye and Shen Wenxi's relationship wasn't love at first sight, but merely a gentleman's friendship, the Xiang Clan's actions were still incredibly domineering.

"From this perspective, Xiao Ye's new mission makes perfect sense."

Lu Changzhi thought about it for a moment.

This Law Contemplation Gathering, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is likely to cause quite a stir.

But it doesn't matter.

With someone's face practically pressed against mine, how could I resist the urge to smack?

He just couldn't help it.

Before I knew it, half a watermelon was gone.

Lu Changzhi rubbed his stomach with satisfaction.

"We should check Shen Wenxi's personal information now."

Lu Changzhi looked toward the direction of the Academy.

Xiao Ye Tongtong also probe information, but the content he can see is relatively limited; at least, he cannot see things like talent.

These are the things he cares about more.

If one has poor talent, then that's probably a real dilemma.

After all, there are precedents to learn from.

Back then, that famous fairy from the Flower Spirit Sect next door was one of those who even managed to swindle her own followers.

However, Lu Changzhi then shook his head.

The Law Contemplation Gathering has not yet begun, and the Myriad Laws Academy is not yet open to the public.

The Myriad Laws Academy is quite large; if the other party is Academy, I will definitely have to go in.

Of course, given his status as Purple-Gold Guest Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he was also entitled to pay a visit.

But that would be too troublesome.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi withdrew his gaze.

No rush, it'll happen in the next few days anyway, we'll see then.

Instead of that, I'd like to go out and try my luck again to see if I can find someone who meets the requirements for taking on apprentices.

There are currently three days left until the Law Contemplation Gathering.

The city was more bustling than ever before.

A casual glance reveals large crowds moving about throughout the city.

The place was bustling with noise and activity.

At a street-side pub, at a table on the ground floor of the building.

Qin Han and Luo Zhen sat facing each other, eating a simple meal.

The two didn't exchange any words, and the atmosphere seemed somewhat abrupt compared to the liveliness elsewhere.

"This can't go on any longer."

Looking at the food on the table, Qin Han felt increasingly frustrated as he ate.

With his current cultivation level, among his peers, he could be considered a prodigy, if not a dragon among men.

As a result, nowadays, he can't even eat as freely as he likes. Sitting in such a position, he's practically no different from those ordinary cultivators.

To say that it wasn't hard to accept would be a lie.

Moreover, he had already received an olive branch from the Xiang Clan.

"I wonder if there's any chance I can take this opportunity to join the Myriad Laws Academy."

Qin Han glanced in the direction of the Academy.

The situation at the Academy is somewhat unique compared to ordinary forces; they generally do not have restrictions based on origin or background.

In other words, although he has now received an olive branch from the Xiang Clan, it does not prevent him from continuing his cultivation in the Academy.

Once he takes that step out of the Saint Realm, he can then go to the Xiang Clan.

He felt somewhat confident about joining the Myriad Laws Academy.

The previous demonstration at the Holy Water Temple was enough to prove my extraordinary abilities. As long as I can perform well during the Dharma Observation, I will surely be able to join the Academy.

"However, while joining isn't difficult, there's Shen Wenxi..."

Qin Han frowned slightly, recalling the time in the secret realm.

He felt he still possessed some charm, but without opportunities to connect with others, he would ultimately find it difficult to utilize his talents.

Of course, considering some recent news, the Xiang Clan's prodigy is probably even more competitive than himself.

But since the situation is still uncertain, it's not unreasonable to try and fight for it.

He just needs the right opportunity.

As he was thinking this, Qin Han suddenly noticed the conversation between two people at the next table.

"Old Xu, it's been so long since I've seen you or heard from you. Where have you been? You must have had some good fortune. Your aura seems much stronger now."

"It wasn't exactly a stroke of luck, but there were definitely benefits."

"Tell me? My advancement is difficult these days, and there's a mountain of Lineage matters to deal with; it's suffocating me."

"I'm afraid my experience might not be a good reference for Brother Zhu."

The voice paused, then continued:

"Do you remember that old man we met when we were young? He told me that I would face two calamities around a certain time, and if I could avoid them, I would definitely have good fortune later in life."

"This... I vaguely remember it. Hmm? You suddenly brought this up, could it be...?"

"Yes, that old man really didn't lie to me."

The man addressed as Brother Xu sighed and continued:

"It really was a calamity. Back then, a bunch of people were chasing me. I was so panicked that I didn't know where to go. I wandered around aimlessly, and somehow, I ended up in a spring. I happened to see a girl bathing there. Tsk, you wouldn't believe it, I only glanced at her, and all I could think about was a huge, white group of enemies chasing me. They were everywhere, and I didn't know where to go."

Brother Zhu's expression was strange:

"The calamity and benefits you mentioned, could it be this girl?"

"Clever," said Brother Xu.

"That girl not only had a good background, but she was also quite strong. At that time, I was no match for her at all. If there had been even the slightest mistake, I probably would have died there."

Fortunately, she didn't kill me afterwards; instead, she went and killed the enemies who were chasing me.

Brother Zhu was taken aback. "Then why didn't she kill you?"
