Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Qingzhou Academy was vibrant with many youthful disciples.
Today, Qingzhou Academy appeared to be exceptionally busy, because it was the day of the Spring Quarter Examination. The disciples of the academy had gathered together for the examination, and the heads of the School of Martial Arts and School of Sorcery had also arrived.
At the moment, Qingzhou Academy was particularly lively. The City Lord of Qingzhou, Qin Shuai, was also here, along with many other high officials of the city. Qin Shuai’s daughter, Qin Yi, was now sitting beside him. She watched as the young teenagers in the gymnasium displayed their talents and powers.
Qin Yi was already 20-years-old. Her body, which was already extremely sexy in the past, was becoming even more attractive. She was still teaching in Qingzhou Academy and was a goddess in the hearts of many disciples.
Of course, at the moment, she already had a boyfriend. He was Lin Qiu, the most talented disciple of Qingzhou Academy over many years. He was also the direct disciple of the Headmaster Gu Mu. At the moment, Lin Qiu was sitting beside Qin Yi and Qin Shuai. The two did look like a suitable match.
“Nowadays there are more and more geniuses here.” Qin Shuai smiled as he looked at the battle platform. Beside him, the master of House of Swordsmen, Leng Qingfeng smiled and said, “Yup. Qingzhou Academy was badly damaged after the monster tide that year, but the young generations of Qingzhou all started cultivating harder after that.”
“Furthermore, Lin Qiu’s talents have also encouraged many.” Lin Qiu was just over 20 and had already entered the Dharma Plane. In Qingzhou, this was definitely considered as extremely amazing and his talents were outstanding.
“After all, he has been to the outside world,” the lord of the Metal Pavilion said, smiling. “Our Qingzhou Academy has not had such an excellent disciple before right?”
Qin Shuai’s eyes sparkled. Have we not had such an excellent disciple?
Smiling, he shook his head and did not say anything. However, two figures appeared in his mind uncontrollably. If they did not leave the academy, they would have become legends of the academy long ago. Of course, they were not meant to be bounded to Qingzhou anyway.
“General Qin, when will Lin Qiu and Qin Yi be getting married?” the lord of the Metal Pavilion asked, smiling.
“I’m not in charge of this. You should ask them about their own opinions.” Qin Shuai smiled, while Lin Qiu looked at Qin Yi.
“There’s no need to hurry. I will serve father for a few more years and will not get married so early,” Qin Yi said, smiling. Everyone nodded and did not say anything.
The Spring Quarter Examination continued and the academy was very lively. Suddenly, a demon flew past the sky above Qingzhou Academy. It flew towards a particular place in the academy while descending from the sky. Many people noticed the scene. They raised their heads to look at the demon one after another and a strange expression appeared on their faces.
“There’s someone on the back of the demon,” someone said. The few Pavilion Lords of Qingzhou Academy squinted as they stared at the diving Black Wind Condor, wondering about the identity of the people on top.
The demon in the sky was, of course, the Black Wind Condor which was carrying Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. It landed in a certain courtyard. The courtyard looked somewhat deserted and was uninhabited. It was the place where Hua Fengliu and Hua Jieyu used to live. It was here that Ye Futian once had many warm memories.
The two landed on the ground and felt very emotional upon seeing the dilapidated courtyard.
Hua Jieyu took a step forward. The stairs and rooms were all filled with dust. She wanted to go in but ultimately stopped. Turning around, she smiled and said, “Let’s go.” She was only here to take a look.
“Okay,” Ye Futian nodded. Today, Qingzhou Academy seemed to be particularly lively as the Spring Quarter Examination was being held. They should have been noticed by many just now.
The two stepped onto the Black Wind Condor and were ready to leave. However, suddenly, many people ran to them. Seeing Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu, they were clearly stunned momentarily.
“Ye Futian.” The look from Leng Qingfeng, the master of the House of Swordsmen, froze. Two years ago, Ye Futian had returned here once together with Minister Zuo. Today when he returned again, he was even more mature and handsome. However, he heard the news from Donghai City that Ye Futian was wanted by Nandou. He was unsure about how the situation was like at the moment.
Hua Jieyu was back as well. The lady who was once a legend in Qingzhou Academy already had a stunningly attractive look now.
“Senior, how have you been?” Ye Futian said, smiling.
“Ye Futian, today the Spring Quarter Examination is being held in Qingzhou Academy. Why not you go there and help to teach your juniors?” Leng Qingfeng invited. He was not very clear about what happened in Nandou, but he knew that Ye Futian, a former disciple of Qingzhou Academy, had amazing talent.
“No, thank you.” Ye Futian shook his head. Although he had some memories in Qingzhou Academy, he did not have much emotion towards it.
“General Qin is also there.” Leng Qingfeng knew that Ye Futian had a good relationship with Qin Shuai and Qin Yi.
Ye Futian looked at Hua Jieyu. Hua Jieyu held his hand and smiling, she said, “Let’s go and meet General Qin.”
“Alright then,” Ye Futian nodded.
“Let’s go.” Leng Qingfeng smiled and nodded. Then, the group walked down the slope and arrived at the gymnasium. When the people in the vast gymnasium saw Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu, many froze. Although the younger ones did not know them, many teachers and disciples of Qingzhou Academy did.
Qin Yi was stunned for a while. Then, she dashed out and approached Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. She looked at the two and a bright smile appeared on her face. Then, she said to Ye Futian, “Hey. Shouldn’t you come and visit me first after returning?”
“Am I not here already?” Ye Futian shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
Qin Yi looked at Hua Jieyu again. Smiling, she said, “It seems that you have gotten yourself a beautiful girlfriend. It’s no wonder that you have forgotten to visit me.”
“Am I the kind of person that values gals over pals?” Ye Futian said softly.
“Humph.” Qin Yi smiled and glanced at him.
“Let’s go and meet General Qin.” Ye Futian held Hua Jieyu’s hand and walked to the main seats. Qin Shuai stood up to welcome them. After the news from Donghai City, he had always been very worried about Ye Futian. Seeing that the two were well and so outstanding now, he also put his mind at ease. That time, if it was not because of Ye Futian, he and Qin Yi would certainly have a miserable life.
“General Qin,” Ye Futian shouted, smiling.
Qin Shuai patted on his shoulder and said, “Futian, come and sit beside me.”
“Sure.” Ye Futian nodded and sat beside Qin Shuai. Hua Jieyu sat beside Ye Futian, while Qin Yi sat on the other side of Qin Shuai. Below them, Lin Qiu’s eyes sparkled. He had heard about Ye Futian before but did not know much. After all, in the island city of Qingzhou, there was limited news that he could receive. At most, he would hear some news from Donghai City.
When he saw Hua Jieyu walking towards him, he was immediately stunned. There was actually such a beautiful lady in the world, and moreover, she had cultivated in Qingzhou Academy in the past. If he also started cultivating in Qingzhou Academy a few years earlier…
“I heard some bad news from Donghai City about you. Are you okay now?” Qin Shuai asked in a serious tone.
“I have solved them all,” Ye Futian said, smiling.
“That’s great,” Qin Shuai nodded. “In the future, if you are free, come back more often. Qin Yi also talks about you every now and then.”
“Did I?” Qin Yi widened her eyes at Qin Shuai. Who would betray his daughter like this?
“I also miss senior sometime. I miss the days when you were teaching me how to cultivate during lectures,” Ye Futian said, smiling.
“How many lessons have you attended?” Qin Yi stared at Ye Futian in despise. You can continue pretending…
“Err…” Ye Futian gave a dry laugh. Did I not attend any? Hua Jieyu also gave a charming smile. He was really thick-skinned.
Suddenly, Lin Qiu turned around and looked at Ye Futian. Smiling, he said, “I am Lin Qiu, Qin Yi’s boyfriend. Qin Yi mentions about you often, and today I finally manage to see you in person. Indeed, you are extraordinary.”
Ye Futian blinked and smiled. “I am Ye Futian. I’m really jealous of you. Senior Qin is the goddess in my heart. Now you have managed to get her.”
“Yes, lucky indeed,” Lin Qiu said, smiling. He glanced at Hua Jieyu who was beside Ye Futian and criticized in his heart how hypocritical Ye Futan was. Ye Futian’s girlfriend had such an outstanding look, and yet he said that he was jealous of Lin Qiu.
Ha. In the past, he also thought that he was lucky. Qin Yi was, after all, the goddess in the hearts of many disciples of Qingzhou Academy; she was sexy and pretty. However, after seeing Hua Jieyu, he felt that he was in fact not that lucky.
“You can continue,” a Pavilion Lord said to the disciples of the academy. The young teenagers of the academy stopped looking at Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu and continued their examination.
Seeing the lively, friendly competition between the young disciples, Ye Futian recalled the Fall Quarter Examination that he once participated. Qin Shuai smiled and asked, “What do you think?”
“Not bad,” Ye Futian nodded. “However, you should encourage the disciples to go out and see the world outside for themselves.” Only when one had traveled to the outside world would one know how small the city of Qingzhou was. In the past, his master Hua Fengliu was in the Arcana Plane. Even though his Life Spirit was destroyed, he was still the strongest person in Qingzhou. Even the Headmaster was only at the peak of the Dharma Plane. There was such a huge difference between the isolated island city and the outside world.
Ye Futian and Qin Shuai chatted casually. Of course, most of the time he was chatting with Qin Yi. Slowly, the Spring Quarter Examination was also nearing its end. An elder announced the names of those who would be officially accepted, as well as the ranking of the examination. Many disciples of the academy danced with excitement. Looking at them, Ye Futian seemed to have seen his young self.
Noticing the end of the Spring Quarter Examination, Leng Qingfeng smiled and said, “Futian, do you want to go and say something?”
“No, it’s fine.” Ye Futian shook his head gently. He had no intention to be in the spotlight.
“Lin Qiu, go and say something,” Leng Qingfeng said. Lin Qiu nodded, after which he walked onto the gymnasium and said, “Today, I feel very happy to witness the talents of all the juniors during the Spring Quarter Examination. However, learning never ends and it is even more so for cultivation. As the disciples of Qingzhou Academy, we should not belittle ourselves, but we should at the same time broaden our horizons. Qingzhou Academy once had many outstanding disciples, such as Ye Futian. Today, it so happens that he is here as well. Does everyone want to meet him?” Just as he finished speaking, countless people stared at Ye Futian. Ye Futian was stunned and he glanced at Qin Yi.
“What is this guy doing?” Qin Yi frowned. Many disciples of the Qingzhou Academy started looking at Ye Futian.
“Brother Ye, why not we broaden the horizon of the juniors of Qingzhou Academy?” Lin Qiu looked at Ye Futian and smiled!
