Hearing Little Tower’s words, Ye Xuan’s face darkened, “You’re putting on a show too?”
Little Tower said, “Yeah! Little Soul had her moment, so let me have mine!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “How do you want to show off?”
Little Tower was silent for a moment, then said, “Watch this!”
With that, it suddenly shot out of Ye Xuan’s body.
Boom!
A golden light soared into the sky.
Rumble!
In an instant, a massive tower appeared above the Guanxuan Academy, stretching hundreds of thousands of feet, blotting out the sun.
Seeing the tower, the students below were stunned.
Someone exclaimed, “What a huge tower! It could hold so much stuff!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
In the sky, Little Tower began to tremble violently. The next moment, waves of terrifying pressure swept down.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire Qingcang Realm erupted in chaos!
Everyone’s faces changed!
This Little Tower could destroy the entire Qingcang Realm!
Ye Xuan’s expression shifted slightly, and he quickly said, “Little Tower, that’s enough!”
In the sky, Little Tower laughed, “Little Master, I haven’t shown off enough yet!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened completely!
At that moment, Little Tower turned into a streak of golden light and plummeted down!
Boom!
In an instant, the entire Qingcang Realm was sucked into Little Tower!
Ye Xuan: “…”
Inside Little Tower, everyone was dumbfounded!
Soon, someone noticed that time flowed differently inside the tower compared to outside.
Chaos erupted!
Inside Little Tower, countless students went wild!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned. With a thought, Little Tower turned into a streak of golden light and vanished, restoring everything to normal.
The students were still in shock.
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Little Tower suddenly said, “Little Master, why’d you stop me? Let me show off a bit more!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, Mo Yunqi, nearby, suddenly said, “Everyone, study on your own!”
Study!
Hearing Mo Yunqi, the students didn’t move, still gathered around Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled, “I need to talk with your instructor!”
Reluctantly, the students dispersed.
Mo Yunqi walked up to Ye Xuan, sized him up, and grinned, “Why the sudden return?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Missed you guys!”
Mo Yunqi shook his head, “I don’t buy that!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, “Let’s walk!”
Mo Yunqi nodded.
As they strolled, Ye Xuan said softly, “Qingzhou has changed a lot!”
Mo Yunqi grinned, “Thanks to you!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “It’s a good thing!”
Mo Yunqi nodded, “From what I hear, you’re not just trying to change Qingzhou but the entire universe?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Mo Yunqi turned to him, smiling, “You weren’t like this before!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “What was I like before?”
Mo Yunqi said softly, “Back then, you were loyal and emotional, but only to your friends and family!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Mo Yunqi smiled, “You’ve changed a lot now!”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, “I’ve been through a lot!”
Mo Yunqi nodded, “It shows!”
Ye Xuan glanced around, then smiled, “Once I fulfil my wishes, I’ll come back to Qingzhou and be a teacher!”
Mo Yunqi laughed, “Welcome! But my gut tells me that day won’t come!”
Ye Xuan turned to him, “Why not?”
Mo Yunqi said solemnly, “Just a feeling!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Brother Pen, you’re the executor of fate. You must know a lot.”
Great Dao Pen was silent for a moment, then said, “I don’t know your fate!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
Great Dao Pen said lightly, “Two big shots altered your fate. You’re not under my jurisdiction! My master could manage you, but…”
He trailed off.
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “So my future fate is unknown?”
Great Dao Pen said, “Yes! But I don’t think you’ll be coming back to teach. It’s unlikely!”
Ye Xuan was confused, “Why?”
Great Dao Pen said lightly, “Just a feeling!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Great Dao Pen added, “Young Master Ye, to be blunt, you’ve got three big shots backing you, but my gut tells me your future might not end well! Don’t ask me why—it’s just a feeling!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Little Tower said lightly, “Little Master, don’t worry. With Sister Destiny around, you’re safe. Sister Destiny, forever the best!”
Great Dao Pen sighed softly.
Little Tower suddenly said, “Broken Pen, are you doubting Sister Destiny?”
Great Dao Pen snapped, “Broken Tower, don’t put words in my mouth! When did I doubt Destiny?”
Little Tower said lightly, “Then do you think what I said makes sense?”
Great Dao Pen was silent for a moment, then said, “I’m not arguing with an uneducated tower like you! You know nothing but showing off!”
Little Tower: “…”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile and snapped out of his thoughts. He was about to speak when Mo Yunqi suddenly said, “You guys chat!”
With that, he turned and left.
Ye Xuan looked into the distance. Not far away, a woman stood—it was Ji Anzhi.
Today, Ji Anzhi wore a pure white dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, a long sword at her waist—the one Ye Xuan had given her.
In her hand was a chicken leg!
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, walked up to her, and said, “Anzhi, long time no see!”
Ji Anzhi nodded slightly.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Let’s walk!”
Ji Anzhi nodded.
They headed toward the back mountain.
On the way, Ye Xuan suddenly took Ji Anzhi’s hand. She hesitated but didn’t pull away.
Ye Xuan led her forward, turned to her, and smiled, “Is the chicken leg tasty?”
Ji Anzhi lowered her head slightly, “The ones you make are tastier!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily. He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword turned into a streak of light, vanishing into the distance. Moments later, it returned with a chicken skewered on its tip.
Little Soul: “…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Come on, I’ll cook for you!”
He brought Ji Anzhi to the back mountain, found an open spot, and started roasting the chicken for her.
They sat there, Ji Anzhi staring at the golden roasted chicken, practically drooling.
Ye Xuan glanced at her and shook his head with a smile. This girl still loved to eat!
Just then, footsteps approached. Ye Xuan turned to see a woman walking slowly toward them!
White armour, curved sword!
It was Princess Jiang Jiu of the Jiang Kingdom!
Still as valiant as ever!
Jiang Jiu walked up to Ye Xuan and Ji Anzhi, smiling, “Not interrupting, am I?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Not at all! Eat with us!”
Jiang Jiu’s lips curved slightly, and she sat beside Ji Anzhi.
Jiang Jiu looked at Ye Xuan, “Are you serious about the academy?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Qingzhou is just the start. I want to open academies across the universe!”
Jiang Jiu asked, “And then?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Then establish a new order!”
Jiang Jiu fell silent.
Ji Anzhi suddenly said, “It’s hard!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Very hard, but I’m confident!”
Jiang Jiu was silent for a moment, then asked, “How can we help you?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Manage Qingzhou well, make it better.”
Jiang Jiu rolled her eyes, “You think we’re too weak, don’t you?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, “Little Jiu, Qingzhou is important too. And one day, I hope to return here.”
Jiang Jiu looked at Ye Xuan, “Really?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Jiang Jiu was silent for a moment, then said, “Alright, we’ll wait for you to come back and retire!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily.
…
Elsewhere, Mo Yunqi stopped Bai Ze.
Bai Ze frowned at Mo Yunqi, “Mo, why’re you blocking me?”
Mo Yunqi said, “Ye Bandit’s chatting with Anzhi and the others. Don’t disturb them!”
Bai Ze frowned, “Why can’t I? It’s been ages since I saw him! I want to catch up!”
Mo Yunqi said solemnly, “They’re having a one-on-one moment. Why would you butt in?”
Bai Ze said seriously, “We’re friends!”
Mo Yunqi felt a headache coming on, “Bai Ze, when will you stop being so clueless? I’m done with you! They’re having a private moment, got it?”
Bai Ze was silent for a moment, then said, “You think I’d disturb them?”
Mo Yunqi nodded, “You’re finally getting it!”
Bai Ze frowned, “How would I disturb them?”
Mo Yunqi’s expression froze.
…
At the back mountain, Ye Xuan roasted the chicken. Jiang Jiu and Ji Anzhi each had a chicken leg. Jiang Jiu ate gracefully, while Ji Anzhi devoured hers.
Ye Xuan looked at the two women, smiling.
Warmth!
He had to admit, every time he returned to Qingzhou, it felt warm—a feeling he didn’t get elsewhere.
What a pity Ye Ling wasn’t here!
Ye Ling!
Ye Xuan sighed softly. It had been so long since he’d seen her! He wondered how she was doing.
But she was probably with the Yang Clan, and no one there would dare bully her.
And Sister Nian!
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. So many people he missed, especially Sister Nian. Since she left, there’d been no news. He didn’t know where she was now!
And Tu!
He’d asked Zhang Shi to help find Tu, but there was still no news.
Jiang Jiu looked at Ye Xuan, “What’re you thinking about?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Some old friends!”
Jiang Jiu glanced at him but said nothing.
Ye Xuan was about to speak when the space in front of him trembled slightly. Moments later, his brows furrowed deeply.
The Luo Realm—the Yang Clan had sent people!
And they didn’t come with good intentions!
Ye Xuan’s gaze grew cold.
Was he really going to have to take down the Yang Clan?
This time, he was truly angry!
