Ninth In the World

Di Jiu was more anxious to master the Di Clan’s Seven Sabers than to get into North Luo University’s Institute of Martial Arts. The Di Clan’s Seven Sabers was considered a top secret art, so he could not practise it out in the open, especially at North Luo University, where there were so many people.

You Huli, who sensed the sincerity in Di Jiu’s words, took a deep breath before he said carefully, “Whatever is mine now will be yours in the future. Leave the Apricot Lake Hall matter to me. Elder Tan treats me really well. Even though he has left for the Swallow Capital, Brother Hu treats me well too.”

Teng Ling’er knew that Di Jiu had prevented You Huli from getting mad at her, but standing quietly in a corner made her feel upset. However, when she saw Di Jiu give You Huli the entry token without hesitation, her bad mood vanished immediately. She bowed before Di Jiu and said, “Brother Jiu, you are indeed Fox’s closest brother. I was really narrow-minded. Please don’t pay attention to the likes of me.”

You Huli snorted. “Women with long hair tend to be short on brains.”

Di Jiu thought that Teng Ling’er was a fairly decent girl.

Although the Apricot Lake Hall was situated a little out of the way, it occupied a wide area. Its infrastructure appeared slightly ancient, as though it had been built many years ago.

When You Huli took Di Jiu to the Apricot Lake Hall, Di Jiu felt that this was exactly the place he needed. The Apricot Lake Hall had a consultation room, a pharmacy, a surgery room and a hospital wing. However, there seemed to be no patients around, and the pharmacy, which sold Chinese medicine, was empty. The only person in the entire Apricot Lake Hall was Brother Hu.

Brother Hu said that he was the person in charge of the Apricot Lake Hall, but the way Di Jiu saw it, he was just a security guard.

Perhaps Brother Hu really trusted You Huli, or this place was just really deserted, because all it took was one sentence from You Huli for Brother Hu to agree to let Di Jiu work there.

You Huli quickly shoved the entry token into his bag and hugged it. He would never sell it to anyone, even if they offered a lot more than five million. He was so eternally grateful to Di Jiu, that he even felt a little guilty. However, he was really desperate to get into the Institute of Martial Arts. This was his lifetime goal.

He decided that, as soon as he made a name for himself, the first person he would help would be Di Jiu.

By this time, somebody had already been sent down to show You Huli around. Every student at the institute was a valued member of the university.

Within a mere 30 minutes, You Huli was done with the registration process. Thanks to the guidance of the assistant who had been sent down to help him, he had already made his way to the main auditorium.

By the time he entered it, there were already over 200 people sitting inside.

Shen Ziyu, who was sitting close to the entrance of the auditorium, glanced at every person who entered.

When she had woken up at the hospital, Di Jiu had already left. She did not feel any more discomfort in her heart, or any other symptoms for that matter. She actually felt much better and way more relaxed.

She was so happy, that she had even stopped Auntie Fang from asking why no one had taken out the trash from the private room yet.

Her sickness had not gotten worse, which meant that she would be able to make it in time for the registration at the Institute of Martial Arts. She felt less restrained compared to when she had been married, so she did not feel the need to complain about many things.

Little had she expected that the price of a North Luo University entry token would rise so high. Even her father had only been able to obtain two North Luo University entry tokens by sacrificing a Swallow Capital University entry token. She had only been given these two entry tokens so that she would agree to the arrangement of her second marriage.

Another hour passed and more than 20 people entered. When she did not see Di Zimo, she realized that he was definitely not coming. If he was not there, then he must have sold his entry token.

Shen Ziyu shook her head. She did not find this strange. At least, she did not owe him anything anymore.

The doors to the hall were locked as an average-sized man walked up to the stage to give a speech.

Numerous people in the auditorium recognized the man. He was the principal of North Luo University, Wang Zhenqi. Judging by his hurried steps, it was easy to tell that he was a little excited. He just couldn’t calm himself down.

The auditorium went silent as Wang Zhenqi’s gaze fell on the audience. He scanned everyone once before he said into the microphone, “Even I did not expect that North Luo University would be granted permission to establish an Institute of Martial Arts. As the principal of North Luo University, I will not avoid speaking about the reason we got the approval. One of our professors, Zhan Zhechen, had the privilege of visiting the Fairy Planet and finding an original martial arts cultivation manual. It was thanks to Professor Zhan’s contribution that we obtained the right to establish this institute.”

“What worries me is that after the exploration, Professor Zhan disappeared from the Fairy Planet. I hope that every future student from the North Luo University Institute of Martial Arts will not forget to seek out Professor Zhan when they are given the opportunity to visit the Fairy Planet…
