Xiao Long said indifferently, "I was just excited at the sight of a hunt. I discovered that the Magic Treasure in his hand was very sharp and just wanted to try it."
"Hmph!"
Elder Tu did not press further. He just looked at Lord Zhang Hao and smiled slightly, "Kid, since you have now passed the third stage, you will be one of us from the Hao Xian Sect from now on."
Lord Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Murong Ziqian said to Lord Zhang Hao, "Lord Zhang Hao, you have finally joined the Sect as well."
Lord Zhang Hao nodded and looked at Murong Ziqian, saying, "Zi Qian, don't worry, I will come to the Heaven Sword Sect to find you sooner or later."
Murong Ziqian nodded at Lord Zhang Hao, bit her red lips, and said reluctantly, "Lord Zhang Hao, Zi Qian will wait for you."
Murong Ziqian still left. Although Lord Zhang Hao was extremely reluctant, he was also helpless.
Xiao Long watched Lord Zhang Hao and Murong Ziqian being so intimate, and his heart immediately became annoyed. After a cold laugh, he turned and left.
In a corner
Xue Ping and Gu Kaiyuan stood behind Xiao Long, not daring to breathe loudly. Although they were the Deputy Deans of the Three Great Academies, even the Academy Alliance was just a tool in the hands of the Ten Great Sects, let alone the Three Great Academies.
Xiao Long looked at Xue Ping and Gu Kaiyuan and said, "Do you want to avenge your College?"
Xue Ping and Gu Kaiyuan didn't know what Xiao Long meant for a moment and looked at each other.
"As far as I know, your College's students died at the hands of Lord Zhang Hao, and Lord Zhang Hao is also my, Xiao Long's, enemy. Do you understand what I mean?" Xiao Long looked coldly at Xue Ping and Gu Kaiyuan.
"Xiao Long, do you mean you support us in getting revenge?" Gu Kaiyuan asked.
Xiao Long nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. This Lord Zhang Hao must die, but it's not convenient for me to make a move right now, so I need your strength."
Gu Kaiyuan and Xue Ping hesitated a little.
Gu Kaiyuan said with some hesitation, "But Lord Zhang Hao is now a member of the Sect! We..."
Xiao Long waved his hand and said seriously, "Don't worry. He hasn't reported to the Sect yet, so strictly speaking, he's not considered a member of the Sect. What's more, we, the Ziyang Sect, will protect you in whatever you do. And as long as you do it without anyone knowing, who will know it was done by you?"
Gu Kaiyuan nodded slightly upon hearing this. He felt that what Xiao Long said seemed indeed very reasonable. Coupled with the fact that this time, in front of Lord Zhang Hao and Tianwu Academy, they were greatly embarrassed, Gu Kaiyuan still felt very aggrieved in his heart.
If they couldn't kill Lord Zhang Hao this time, given this kid's development speed, if he were to grow strong in the Hao Xian Sect in the future, it wouldn't be good for Tianba Academy either. This danger must be nipped in the bud.
Lord Zhang Hao came before Elder Tu and said to Elder Tu, "Elder Tu, I really owe you a lot for your help this time, otherwise, things would have been truly unpredictable."
Elder Tu waved his hand at Lord Zhang Hao and said, "Alright, stop saying these things. You are also the talent we need in the Hao Xian Sect. This is the Hao Xian Sect's Outer Sect token. Take this token to the Sect's General Affairs Office to register, and you can officially become a Disciple of our Hao Xian Sect."
Lord Zhang Hao took the token, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be somewhat heavy. So he said to Elder Tu, "Elder Tu, I still have some matters at the College that I haven't dealt with. Could I have a few more days before I report?"
"Haha, this is human nature. I will grant you ten days. After ten days, you must go to the Hao Xian Sect to report, otherwise your spot will be forfeited." Elder Tu said solemnly to Lord Zhang Hao.
Lord Zhang Hao was overjoyed upon hearing this and said to Elder Tu, "Thank you, Elder Tu."
"Alright, you may go!" Elder Tu waved his hand at Lord Zhang Hao.
Lord Zhang Hao left Elder Tu and returned to Tianwu Academy. Lan Haiping looked at Lord Zhang Hao with great satisfaction. He said, "Kid Zhang, originally I didn't have much confidence in whether you could join the Sect. This time, you really gave me a surprise. Hahaha..."
"I still have to thank you, Old man, for your guidance!" Lord Zhang Hao said with a smile.
Lan Haiping was in a good mood, so he didn't mind Lord Zhang Hao calling him Old man. He said, "Heh heh, you don't need to be modest either. All of this is mostly due to your own strength."
Lord Zhang Hao looked at Mo Qing and asked, "Sister Mo, have you decided which College you want to join?"
Mo Qing glanced at Lord Zhang Hao and smiled slightly, "Just now, our Dean and others discussed it, and we all decided to join the Hao Xian Sect together. Xiao Long is from Tianba Academy, and he won't just target you. Only the Hao Xian Sect is more suitable for us. Moreover, the Hao Xian Sect is ranked among the top three of the Ten Great Sects. It will also be beneficial for our growth."
Lord Zhang Hao thought for a moment and felt that what Mo Qing said was indeed very reasonable. Moreover, he also knew that besides Mo Qing and the others, Tianwu Academy also had five other students who were accepted by the Sect. Tianwu Academy's harvest this time was quite significant.
"Oh right, Sister Mo, are you going to report now, or go back to the College with me first?" Lord Zhang Hao looked at Mo Qing and asked.
Mo Qing had not spoken yet, but Liu Jie said first, "Heh heh, we are preparing to report to the Hao Xian Sect first. We don't have much going on at the College, unlike you, keeping a beauty in a golden house!"
Saying that, Liu Jie also winked at Lord Zhang Hao and teased him.
Lord Zhang Hao's cheeks turned red, and he naturally knew that Liu Jie was talking about Song Sitian. He said awkwardly, "Liu Ge, don't talk nonsense. Sitian is my maid, she's not as bad as you think..."
Chu Wei also followed up with a teasing smile, "Heh heh, we didn't think anything. It seems you're the one thinking too much, aren't you?"
Lan Haiping cleared his throat and said, "Alright, Lord Zhang Hao, the Sect has its rules. Although Elder Tu has given you ten days, you must not be late. The Sect is not as easy to talk to as we are."
Lord Zhang Hao's heart trembled, and he said to Lan Haiping, "Old man, I understand. But aren't you going back with me?"
Lord Zhang Hao was also a little curious. It was understandable that Mo Qing, Liu Jie, and the others were eager to report to the Sect, but this Lan Laotou also seemed to have something to do.
Lan Haiping smiled slightly and said, "I still need to handle the aftermath here. Do you think that after the Sect's assessment of us Deans and Elders is over, we can just leave? We still have many things to deal with with the Academy Alliance."
Lord Zhang Hao understood upon hearing this. He said to Lan Haiping, "Then, Old man, I'll head back by myself first."
Lan Haiping thought for a moment and said to Lord Zhang Hao, "Hmm, be careful on your way back. I'm afraid those two old fellows, Xue Ping and Gu Kaiyuan, might try to harm you. But you don't need to worry too much. After all, you are now a Disciple of the Hao Xian Sect. As long as you are careful, there shouldn't be any major problems."
"Okay, Old man, I'll be going now. See you at the College."
After Lord Zhang Hao flew away, Lan Haiping murmured, "Kid Zhang, the Hao Xian Sect is where you start. I'm really looking forward to seeing how far you can grow."
Lord Zhang Hao missed Ning Xue, Ye Yunshang, and Song Sitian very much at this moment. This time, going to the Hao Xian Sect meant he would be separated from them. At this moment, he naturally had to rush back. He cherished the time he spent with the girls.
