Chapter 84 - Leaving for the Southern Dusk Empire (5)
“The academy will distribute the other spots,” Lin Liang said honestly. This was the tradition of the major academies.
“I want ten of the remaining spots. The rest can be given to the academy,” Leng Ruoxue said. She had to state her conditions first so that there would not be any disputes later.
“Okay, I agree,” Lin Liang said helplessly. He knew that she would definitely not try her best if he didn’t agree. This girl was not Ruohan. She had no sense of belonging to the academy.
“I will arrange for Elder Qiu to accompany you this time.”
“Thank you, Grandpa Lin.” She quite liked Elder Qiu.
…
After talking with Grandpa Lin, Leng Ruoxue returned to the general’s mansion without delay.
“Xue’er, what did Old Man Lin want you for?” Leng Qingtian asked hurriedly when he saw his granddaughter return.
“Nothing. Grandpa, have you heard of the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm?” Leng Ruoxue asked.
“Creek of Affinity Mystic realm? Is that mystic realm is about to appear again?” Leng Qingtian said with a face full of shock. Practically all powerhouses like them knew the legend of the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm. But very few could wait until then. Moreover, the spots to enter the mystic realm had always been in the hands of the major academies, and it was impossible for outsiders to obtain them.
“Yes. Grandpa Lin told me to get first place at all costs because first will obtain fifty spots to enter the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
“Won’t the competition this time be very intense then? Xue’er, you have to be careful. The Lunar Shadow Academy is capable of all sorts of despicable things. The venue for the competition this time is at the Lunar Shadow Academy. I’m sure they will do everything to win,” Leng Qingtian said worriedly.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll be careful,” Leng Ruoxue comforted.
“Grandpa, I’m leaving tomorrow. I’m going to see Big Brother.”
“Go on.”
When Leng Rouxue arrived at the Cold Tea Pavilion, she happened to see her brother packing.
“Big Brother, what are you doing?” Leng Ruoxue watched curiously as her brother busied himself while the white tiger couple lay on the ground, acting lovey-dovey.
“Packing!”
“Why are you packing? Where’s Ming An?”
“We will be leaving Phoenix City tomorrow. Of course, we have to pack,” Leng Ruohan said matter-of-factly.
“…”
“Big Brother, don’t tell me you want to go to Lunar Capital with me?”
“Yes, I want to go with you. I won’t feel at ease if you go alone,” Leng Ruohan said. He knew that Xue’er had the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, so he wanted to go with her.
“Did you tell Grandpa?” Leng Ruoxue asked. Grandpa probably won’t agree.
“Not yet. Don’t worry. Grandpa will definitely let me go. I can stay in your space with the entire white tiger family.” Leng Ruohan had planned it all out long ago.
“Okay, then Big Brother will go with Xue’er!” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. She knew that she couldn’t stop her brother, but she could still ensure his safety.
“Okay.” He felt relieved after he got past Xue’er.
“Big Brother, I won’t disturb you packing.” Then Leng Ruoxue returned to her room.
“Xue’er, since Ruohan is going to Lunar Capital with you, Grandpa thought about it and decided to go with you too,” Leng Qingtian said straightforwardly after coming to the Listening Snow Pavilion. Alas, he was worried about his grandson and granddaughter!
“…”
Leng Ruoxue was at a loss for words. Why is Grandpa joining in the fun too? “Let’s go together then. Just treat it as a family outing.”
“Miss.” Lü Tao and Cui Zhu looked at their young miss pitifully after hearing this.
“Let’s go together!” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
…
On the day of departure, everyone gathered at the entrance of the Heavenly Phoenix Academy early. When Lin Liang saw Leng Qingtian, his eyes almost popped out. “Old Leng, what are you doing here?”
“To protect my grandson and granddaughter, of course,” Leng Qingtian said proudly. Ruohan was smart enough to think of going with Xue’er.
“Then I want to protect the students of our academy, so can I go too?” Lin Liang said with widened eyes.
“You can’t. You’re the principal, so you have to stay and oversee the academy,” Leng Qingtian said with a smirk.
“Aren’t you still a great general?” Lin Liang said angrily through gritted teeth.
“I’ve already arranged it.” Leng Qingtian smiled.
“Damn old man, what are you so smug for?” Lin Liang roared.
“Principal, General Leng, many people are watching!” Elder Qiu dissuaded somewhat helplessly. How embarrassing!
“Elder Qiu, please take care of me on the way!” Leng Qingtian said very politely.
“I wouldn’t dare. I wouldn’t dare. Please take care of me, General Leng!” Sweat dripped down Elder Qiu’s forehead. The trip would be much safer with such a powerful bodyguard.
“Miss, we’ve accepted all the missions,” Feng Da said as he walked to Leng Ruoxue’s side.
“Okay. Grandpa, Elder Qiu, let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue nodded.
In this way, a group of more than 30 people left Phoenix City under Lin Liang’s resentful gaze.
…
Half a month later, they entered a small city on the border of the Southern Dusk Empire.
“Miss, I’m going to the Mercenary Union to submit the missions,” Feng Da said. His young lady had asked him to go to the Mercenary Union to accept some missions that were along the way before they set off. So every time they arrived at a new city, he would first submit the completed missions and then take on some new missions that they could do on the road.
“Go. We’ll wait for you in this inn.”
“Grandpa, Elder Qiu, let’s sit here!” Leng Ruoxue found a seat by the window in the dining hall and sat down. The others also found seats and ordered food.
“Ruoxue, Brother Feng, Brother Ye, Brother Mu, what a coincidence!” Ju Ri hurriedly came forward to greet Leng Ruoxue and the others when he saw them.
“Big Brother Ju.” Leng Ruoxue didn’t expect to see Ju Ri in such a small place.
The others who knew Ju Ri also greeted him.
“Grandpa, Elder Qiu, he is the young master of the Hurricane Mercenary Group. He was the one who told me the news about Big Brother’s injury,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
