As they spoke, the group slowly entered Tianqi City. The city was bustling with activity, with people coming and going and the cries of various vendors rising and falling.
Baili Dongjun looked around, his eyes sparkling with excitement, clearly filled with curiosity about everything.
Li Chengtian led the group through the bustling streets, heading straight for the Jixia Academy.
The school is located in the core area of Tianqi City, surrounded by a quiet environment and a strong scholarly atmosphere.
At the school gate, two guards, seeing the extraordinary bearing of Li Chengtian and his entourage, quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.
"The young master is back!"
Upon recognizing Xiao Ruofeng, one of the guards immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Hmm." Xiao Ruofeng nodded and asked the guard, "Is my teacher in the school? Go and announce that I have brought back the young master of the Baili family."
Besides that, I also brought two guests to see him.
"Excuse me, young sir," the guard said respectfully. "Mr. Li left early this morning and asked me to tell you that he will be away for a while."
"You just need to make sure Young Master Baili and the two guests are well taken care of, but you must not neglect the three guests who have come to Tianqi from Qiandong City."
"Oh?" Xiao Ruofeng's eyes lit up. "Teacher already knew we were coming back today?"
Mr. Li is indeed the number one person in the world.
They had all the power and influence in the world, and were able to foresee their arrival.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the tallest building in Tianqi City.
Li Changsheng was engrossed in drinking a small pot of Autumn Dew White wine.
Standing next to him was a woman with a graceful figure and a face mask.
Seeing Li Changsheng drinking alone without saying a word, he asked with dissatisfaction, "Is Baili Luochen's only grandson from the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion really that person's disciple?"
“Absolutely true. How could my disciple lie?” Li Changsheng glanced at the woman and said dismissively.
"Then... how is that person now?" the woman asked anxiously, her concern beyond words.
"gone!"
"Gone? When did they leave?" The woman was taken aback, her expression showing deep emotion.
She never imagined that after only a little over ten years, they would be separated by death.
Overwhelmed with emotion, a tear rolled down her cheek.
Li Changsheng noticed the woman's discomfort, put down his wine, and said to her, "Why are you always crying?"
Ru Xian Gu Chen is indeed gone, but I don't mean he's dead; I mean he's gone!
According to the message sent back by Ruofeng, Gu Chen's old injuries have been healed by a man named Li Chengtian.
Moreover, under Li Chengtian's arrangement, Gu Chen, Wen family's Wenhujiu, my second apprentice Lei Erlei Mengsha, and a young man named Sikong Changfeng were also present.
They went to another world with a man named Bai Xiaosheng. He said they could access superior martial arts there, and it would be safer!
Li Changsheng took another sip of wine as he spoke.
Seeing that the woman remained silent and did not speak, he said listlessly, "If you ask me, this is for the best! Beili was never a good place to begin with. If Lei Er and Gu Chen can stay away from this place of trouble, they can escape their fate."
I think you don't need to be sad for Gu Chen. If you want to see Gu Chen, go to my Jixia Academy and find Li Chengtian.
He just started attending the Jixia Academy!
"Then... why don't you see Li Chengtian?" the woman asked curiously.
"As for me..." Li Changsheng smiled slightly and drank the Autumn Dew White in his hand in one gulp.
He then threw the bottle into the air.
As the bottle pierced the air, it emitted a sound like the cry of an eagle.
Then, Li Changsheng soared into the air, flying with the wind, like a celestial being descending to earth.
At that moment, Li Changsheng looked down at the woman on the rooftop and said, "Because I am Li Changsheng, I am the number one in the world. How can anyone just see me whenever they want?"
the other side.
Li Chengtian, who had just settled into the bedroom arranged by Xiao Ruofeng, immediately sensed the aura of a powerful figure not far away.
Mingyue Xin also sensed the aura of a powerful figure.
She ran over to Li Chengtian and asked worriedly, "Your Excellency! Are there such experts in Tianqi City? They can make me feel so uncomfortable."
"Don't be nervous," Li Chengtian reassured Mingyue. "The person who just unleashed his power must be Li Changsheng, the number one person in this world."
"Okay! I'll go and meet him!" Mingyue Xin said, and was about to rush out to find Li Changsheng.
But she was quickly pulled back by Mingyuexin.
“Mingyue Xin,” Li Chengtian said, “Li Changsheng doesn’t want to see us right now. What he did just now was to give us a warning, to let us know that he exists in Tianqi City.”
But he doesn't want to see us now; perhaps we'll have to go through some more trouble to see Li Changsheng.
As soon as Li Chengtian finished speaking, a soft knock came from outside the door.
"Come in," Li Chengtian replied calmly.
The door slowly opened, and Xiao Ruofeng walked in, a hint of apology on his face: "Your Excellency, I apologize for disturbing you. However, I have some matters I would like to discuss with you."
"It's alright, sit down and let's talk." Li Chengtian gestured for Xiao Ruofeng to sit down, while also signaling Mingyue Xin to remain vigilant in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
(cbaa) After sitting down, Xiao Ruofeng said with a slightly nervous expression, "Your Excellency, although my teacher, Mr. Li, is not here, I have already arranged temporary accommodation for you at the Jixia Academy."
At the same time, I would like to recommend a special opportunity to you—to recommend you to participate in the entrance examination of my Jixia Academy.”
"How dare you! Xiao Ruofeng!"
No sooner had Xiao Ruofeng finished speaking than Mingyue Xin launched into a tirade against him, “What kind of status does Your Excellency have that you would dare to participate in the entrance exam for your mere Jixia Academy? I think you have a death wish!”
Li Chengtian raised his hand to stop Mingyuexin's outburst, his gaze gentle yet carrying an undeniable power as he looked at Xiao Ruofeng, signaling him to continue.
Xiao Ruofeng felt Li Chengtian's gaze and his heart skipped a beat. He then explained, "Miss Mingyuexin, please allow me to explain. I did not mean to offend Your Excellency, but the entrance examination for Jixia Academy is no small matter."
It is not just a simple exam, but also an excellent opportunity to showcase your talents and make friends with outstanding individuals from all over the world.
If Your Majesty can excel in the exam, you will not only earn the respect of the teachers and students in the academy, but also have the opportunity to learn about the top talents in Beili and even the entire continent, paving the way for Your Majesty's great cause.
Moreover, the academy has a rich collection of books, which may help His Majesty advance further.
“But Your Majesty is the Emperor of Daqing, how could you condescend to participate in a small school exam?” After Mingyue Xin finished speaking, she turned to Li Chengtian and said, “Your Majesty, with your strength, not to mention Jixia Academy, even the entire martial arts world of Beili is no match for you.”
You mustn't listen to Xiao Ruofeng's nonsense and lower yourself to take a mere school exam! If this gets back to Daqing, wouldn't that be…”
Li Chengtian smiled slightly, interrupting Mingyue Xin's words, his eyes flashing with profound wisdom: "Mingyue Xin, you've misunderstood."
I am not taking the academy exams to lower myself to this position, but to gain a deeper understanding of this continent and the distribution of talent and power here. The future of Beili, and indeed the entire continent, requires the wisdom and strength of our Daqing to guide it.”
He turned to Xiao Ruofeng and continued, "Ruofeng's suggestion is not without merit. As the cultural and academic center of Beili, Jixia Academy has gathered countless young talents and scholars."
If I can participate, I will not only be able to exchange ideas with them, but also feel the pulse of this continent more directly. This will be of great benefit to my future plans.
That's what he said, but what he actually wanted to do was secretly help Baili Dongjun so that Baili Dongjun could pass the exam smoothly.
After all, he was familiar with the plot.
In the original storyline, Baili Dongjun accompanied Ye Dingzhi, Zhao Yujia (Wang Yihang's pseudonym), Yin Luoxia (Yueyao's pseudonym) and Ye Dingzhi to take the school's exam.
In the second round, Baili Dongjun and his group encountered the Wuxiang Venerable Envoy from Tianwaitian.
Baili Dongjun nearly lost his life, and Ye Dingzhi was also seriously injured and accidentally fell into Yi Wenjun's villa.
This is how the fates of the two star-crossed lovers were reconnected.
This also marked the beginning of Ye Dingzhi's tragic life.
Now, Ye Dingzhi has been arranged to return to the Daqing World to become Gongzi Yu's apprentice.
Ye Dingzhi, a crucial link, is missing from the four teams in Tianqi City.
Then Baili Dongjun might not necessarily pass the exam smoothly.
Moreover, Li Chengtian understood Li Changsheng's thoughts.
Li Changsheng wasn't meeting with him because he was waiting. He would only appear to meet Li Chengtian after Baili Dongjun finished the exam and became his disciple.
Li Chengtian's most important purpose in coming to Tianqi City was to see Li Changsheng.
Therefore, participating in this school's entrance exam is a must.
"Your honor."
Seeing that Li Chengtian had made up his mind, Mingyue Xin, though still unwilling, had no choice but to give up and step aside without saying another word.
Seeing this, Xiao Ruofeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "It is truly a blessing for Beili that Your Excellency is so understanding and righteous. I will personally arrange the admissions examination to ensure that everything proceeds smoothly."
Furthermore, the academy has many rules, so I will prepare all the necessary materials for Your Excellency in advance so that you can integrate into it more quickly.
Li Chengtian nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Xiao Ruofeng's arrangements: "That's excellent, thank you for your trouble, Ruofeng. Also, please take good care of Dongjun. He's new here and may not be used to many things yet."
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will keep a close eye on Young Master Baili's movements and ensure that his safety and studies are not affected," Xiao Ruofeng replied respectfully.
Afterwards, the group discussed some specific details about the entrance exam until nightfall, when they dispersed to rest and prepare for the upcoming challenge.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows into the room as Li Chengtian, Baili Dongjun, and Mingyue Xin headed to the Jixia Academy. The academy was already bustling with activity, a gathering of talented young people from all over the country, the atmosphere both tense and enthusiastic.
Xiao Ruofeng was already waiting at the entrance of the examination hall. Upon seeing Li Chengtian and the others arrive, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "Your Excellency, Young Master Baili, Miss Mingyuexin, this way please. I have already arranged seats for you."
