“No, it’s such a short distance, how did it take you so long to get here?”
Yu Xiaogang was full of resentment.
How far was Nuoding City from Soto City? Flender actually took more than two months.
Flender said, “Wasn’t I delayed by something?”
“The person is here, he can’t run away. What does it matter if I’m a little late?”
“Speaking of which, where is he? Take me to see him.”
Yu Xiaogang said speechlessly, “He really did run away. He applied for early graduation.”
“What?”
Flender was utterly bewildered. Wasn’t he supposed to be a new Disciple this year?
He applied for early graduation right after school started?
Yu Xiaogang was also very depressed. He had just made up his mind to get rid of that menace.
But then the person ran away that very day.
By the time he learned of this news, that little fellow had already run off to who knows where.
“But it’s not a big problem.”
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and said, “Although he ran away, there are still two Innate full spirit power in the academy.”
Flender: “???”
Do you want to hear what you’re saying? Do you really think Innate full spirit power are as common as cabbages?
Yu Xiaogang continued, “And I have already taken one of them as my Disciple.”
“No, are you serious?”
Flender was dumbfounded. It didn’t look like he was lying.
Yu Xiaogang rolled his eyes and said, “Can I still lie to you?”
“But there’s one problem at the moment, and that is my Disciple doesn’t want to be too far from home right now.”
“We’ll have to wait until he graduates before we come find you.”
Flender laughed and said, “What kind of problem is that? What does it matter if it’s a few years earlier or later?”
That was Innate full spirit power.
Let alone waiting a few years, even if he had to wait ten years, it wouldn’t matter.
Shrek had been founded for so many years.
The only Innate full spirit power Disciple they had ever taken in was Oscar.
And he was a food system Spirit Master.
Although a food system Innate full spirit power was even rarer, it was an undeniable fact that his Cultivation speed was slow.
His upper limit might not be comparable to a normal Innate full spirit power.
Moreover, what academy would dislike having more Genius like an Innate full spirit power?
“What are the Spirit of those two Innate full spirit power?”
Flender asked, eager to meet those two Genius.
“We’ll talk about that later.”
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and said, “Right now, I need you to go outside and rent a house for me. Just rent it for six years.”
“What?”
Flender’s eyes widened in anger, exclaiming in disbelief.
“You’re living perfectly fine in the academy, why move out?”
He came all this way, and not only couldn’t he bring the person back, but he also had to pay money?
Wasn’t this going to kill him?
Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said, “Something happened. I can’t live in the academy anymore.”
“No…”
Flender gritted his teeth and said, “Six years, do you know what six years means?”
“That’s glittering gold coin.”
“Even if the rent in Nuoding City is cheap, six years of rent would still be over a hundred gold coin, right?”
“And that’s the cheapest.”
“To rent a slightly better one, wouldn’t it cost several hundred gold coin?”
Yu Xiaogang frowned, “Just tell me if you’ll rent it or not.”
“No…”
Flender said, rubbing his temples, “I didn’t say I wouldn’t rent it, but you at least have to explain the situation to me clearly. What if there’s a way to avoid spending this wasted money?”
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang then explained Tang San’s situation.
Flender said speechlessly, “Bro, did you get your head stuck in a door?”
“He’s homesick simply because of his family.”
“Just bring his family over, wouldn’t that be enough? Isn’t raising a few ordinary people cheaper than renting a house?”
Flender was truly speechless.
Shrek had nothing in abundance but houses. It was just a matter of adding a few more pairs of chopsticks.
Was it really necessary to spend that wasted money?
Yu Xiaogang was stunned. He really hadn’t thought of that solution.
It seemed feasible.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiaogang said, “I haven’t settled the other Innate full spirit power yet.”
Flender said, “That’s easy. Leave it to me.”
As long as he didn’t have to pay, even if Yu Xiaogang wanted the stars in the sky, he would pluck them for him.
…
Time rewound to half a month ago.
After Li Tian settled the suspension of schooling, he treated Xiao Chenyu and the others to a meal.
Then he returned directly to Saint Spirit Village.
He didn’t even go back to the dormitory to pack his things, nor did he say goodbye to Tang San and the others.
Their relationship was just so-so, there was nothing to say goodbye to.
This was also why Yu Xiaogang only learned of this news many days later.
Li Tian returned to the village and bought many gifts, which could be considered returning home in glory.
He didn’t miss a single family who had helped him in the past, and he gave them some money.
The village chief’s family naturally received the most.
After staying in the village for a few days, Li Tian bid farewell to his fellow villagers and returned to Nuoding City.
Then he took a carriage bound for Heaven Dou City.
Time flew by, and it was already half a month later. At this time, Li Tian had already arrived in Heaven Dou City.
Of course.
It wasn’t that it took half a month to travel from Nuoding City to Heaven Dou City by carriage.
He had also stayed in Saint Spirit Village for a few days.
As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City was extremely majestic and magnificent.
The city walls were a hundred meters high and over thirty meters thick.
Its area was even more needless to say, simply immeasurable by the eye.
It was like a colossal beast prostrate on the ground.
Above and below the city, fully armed soldiers patrolled and stood guard.
Upon entering the city, one could truly see its prosperity.
Various luxurious carriages came and went on the streets, and the pedestrians’ attire was also full of extravagance.
Even the street vendors were dressed decently.
Li Tian, a bumpkin from the countryside, felt a sense of an ugly duckling mingling among swans.
Fortunately, his appearance did not attract any strange looks.
Li Tian had already planned what he would do after arriving in Heaven Dou City on the way here.
First, he definitely had to find a place to stay.
After all, attracting the attention of Qian Renxue, the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou on the surface, wouldn’t be something he could do in a day or two. Before that, he definitely needed a place to settle down.
And if nothing unexpected happened, he would be staying in Heaven Dou City for a long time in the future.
Staying in a hotel would be a bit too luxurious.
Li Tian sought out a real estate agency, intending to rent a house that was neither too big nor too small.
During the process, nothing unexpected or coincidental happened.
After some comparison and bargaining, Li Tian rented a civilian house with a small courtyard.
It was similar to a one-entrance quadrangle courtyard, but without as many rooms.
There were three main rooms, with bedrooms on the left and right, and a main hall in the middle. There were no east or west wing rooms; instead, there was a kitchen and a bathroom that combined bathing and toilet facilities.
The courtyard was only about ten square meters.
There was a tree in the northwest corner, which was a peach tree, and a tree in the northeast corner, also a peach tree.
The rent in Heaven Dou City was very expensive.
For such an ordinary civilian house, that scoundrel actually dared to ask for a thousand gold coin a year.
He probably thought Li Tian was young.
After some haggling and pleading poverty, Li Tian finally rented it for two hundred gold coin a year.
After renting the house.
Li Tian went out and bought some daily necessities, and then looked for an adult products store.
He had also looked for whale glue in Nuoding City.
They did have it, but most were hundreds of years old, and he couldn’t even find any thousand-year-old ones.
After all, at present, it was still just an aphrodisiac.
A few hundred years was potent enough; eating a ten-thousand-year-old one might even be fatal.
Without a market, naturally no one would hunt them.
