Chapter 236: Departure
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the inter-academy competition, the inter-academy exchanges of the four regions followed.
This time, the location of the exchange between the four academies was the Main Academy.
Originally, it should be held in the academy of the first place in the previous academy exchange, which should be the Southern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy.
However, this time, the Main Academy took the initiative to suggest that the exchange of the four regions would be held in the Main Academy.
At the same time, the students from the Main Academy would also participate in this exchange!
Qin Tiannan did not object to this.
The Southern Region would definitely send the disciples of the Cottage to fight after all.
If Ye Qiubai and the others appeared,
The students from the other four regions would not have much to do either…
Even though the students from the Main Academy were not enough, according to Dean Yan’s explanation, he wanted to show the students of the Main Academy the glory of the Hidden Dao Academy in the Southern Region.
This was to motivate the students’ enthusiasm for cultivation…
Well…
Actually, Qin Tiannan really wanted to say that.
Wouldn’t it be too much of a blow…
But now…
The people from the Hidden Dao Academy of the four regions were all gathered in the Main Academy.
The Deans of the four regional academies gathered in the Main Academy’s meeting hall.
Dean Yan smiled and said, “Old Qin, you won’t be angry that the Four Regions Exchange will be held in the Main Academy, right?”
Qin Tiannan smiled and shook his head. “Of course we have no objections.
Coincidentally, the Main Academy will bear the reward.”
“Haha, of course.”
The Dean of the Eastern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “However, is there a need to hold this exchange meeting again?”
The Dean of the Western Region’s Hidden Dao Academy also looked at Qin Tiannan and said helplessly, “Even we are not able to match Ye Qiubai and the others with their strength. What’s the point of fighting?”
At this moment, Dean Yan shook his head and said, “This exchange is actually not just a simple academy exchange.”
Seeing Dean Yan’s slightly serious expression, the four of them looked over, wanting to hear his explanation.
He said, “You should know that this continent has already begun to undergo huge changes.”
“Some factions have been destroyed, and new factions have been born.”
“Prodigies have appeared one after another. The Cloud Phoenix Empire has also begun to rebuild.”
“What does this mean?”
The Dean of the four territories immediately understood the meaning in Dean Yan’s tone.
The Era Of Great Battle!
“The situation of the continent will definitely change greatly at this time!”
“I took this opportunity to invite many giant factions to the Main Academy to watch the exchange between the academies. It was also to let the Hidden Dao Academy have greater influence in the four regions.”
“So that we will not be replaced in this Era Of Great Battle.”
At this point, Dean Yan looked at Qin Tiannan and said solemnly, “This is also why I asked Old Qin to bring the disciples of the Cottage to the Main Academy to participate in the exchange.”
Borrowing the Cottage’s power to expand the power of the Hidden Dao Academy!
This was Director Yan’s true motive!
Qin Tiannan nodded. “When will the meeting officially begin?”
Dean Yan looked at the sky and thought for a moment before saying, “Tomorrow. Those forces should be here tomorrow.”
Ye Qiubai naturally came to the Hidden Dao Academy’s Main Academy.
After arriving at the Main Academy, he walked towards Daoseeking Mountain.
Along the way, all the students or elders could recognize Ye Qiubai.
Therefore, no one stopped him.
At the foot of the Daoseeking Mountain.
Ye Qiubai slowly walked in until he reached the familiar courtyard.
And that familiar, slowly running river, came into view.
However, Ye Qiubai didn’t sense any aura in the courtyard.
There was only an empty courtyard.
Ye Qiubai was slightly stunned.
He slowly walked into the courtyard.
Before Mu Ziqing left, she left him a letter.
She said that she would be waiting for him at the foot of Daoseeking Mountain.
Ye Qiubai couldn’t help but shout, “Ziqing?”
“Ziqing, are you there?”
He walked through the entire courtyard but he did not find anything.
Could it be that she had something on and went out?
He walked to the stone table and slowly sat down.
In this courtyard, there was Mu Ziqing’s unique aura.
Sensing this aura, he was slightly stunned.
Time passed slowly.
Ye Qiubai sat at the stone table in a daze.
The sunlight slowly shifted its angle.
Then, it gradually dissipated.
Then, a ray of white moonlight shone on the courtyard.
Night came.
Ye Qiubai finally came back to his senses. He sighed slightly and walked out of the courtyard.
He saw the river and approached.
This place was the place where Ye Qiubai and Mu Ziqing first met.
“What were you doing by the river?”
“I… 1 just want to eat grilled fish.”
“What… What are you laughing at?”
“Hey, don’t come over. You’ll die if you do this!”
“Do… Do you know how to do it?”
“Hoo~ It’s hot.”
Thinking of this scene, Ye Qiubai’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal a gentle smile.
Even the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.
Suddenly, on the dark grass.
A jade pendant slowly rose!
Ye Qiubai looked over.
The jade pendant slowly floated in front of him.
Ye Qiubai took it and subconsciously used his spiritual qi to probe.
The jade pendant began to flash with an ice-blue light!
A phantom was thrown out from the jade pendant!
She had a beautiful face and was wearing an aqua blue gauze dress with a white robe inside.
A piece of green silk was tied around her waist.
It was as if she could hold it in one hand.
Ye Qiubai was slightly stunned when he saw this phantom.
Then, he said in surprise, “Ziqing?”
At this moment, Mu Ziqing’s phantom smiled and said, “This jade pendant can only be activated by your aura, Qiubai.”
“However…”
At this point, Mu Ziqing frowned slightly and said with a bitter expression,
“Since you’re here, it means that I’ve already left this realm.”
Leave this realm?
Ye Qiubai was stunned.
Mu Ziqing continued to explain, “I’m sorry that I’ve been hiding it from you.
My family doesn’t actually belong to this realm, but above it.”
“When my physique problem has been resolved. 1 didn’t want to tell the family, but the family still found out.”
“That’s why they took me away…”
In other words, Mu Ziqing was not from this world.
The family she belonged to was even higher up.
Even higher?
In other words, it was much stronger than the Wilderness Region and not in the same dimension?
Mu Ziqing continued, “1 hope you’ll come to me, but Qiubai, you have to mature quickly.”
“Otherwise, no one in my family would agree with you.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai smiled happily.
“This jade pendant can guide you after you leave this realm. You must keep it well!”
“Then, you must find me. Otherwise, 1’11 ignore you in the future!”
At this point, Mu Ziqing’s shadow disappeared and returned to the jade pendant.
The ice-blue light flashing in the jade pendant also disappeared at this moment.
Ye Qiubai silently wore the jade pendant around his neck. He touched it and looked at the sky.
There was a distant look in his eyes.
“Don’t worry, I won’t make you wait too long, Ziqing…”
