Having once taken Zhou Chubin’s class, Chu Xiran already had a genuine teacher-student relationship with him.
The teacher and student caught up for a bit, and the atmosphere was quite warm as they chatted. Of course, their conversation consisted mainly of pleasantries and polite small talk.
After about ten minutes, feeling the ti was right, Zhou Chubin finally cut to the chase. "I was wondering, where might Li Qian be right now?"
He actually asked this question with an ulterior motive. He already knew where Li Qian lived, had already looked up the address of the Cultivation Base, and was also aware that Li Qian had been spending all his ti there researching and studying, rarely coming to the school.
Hearing this, Chu Xiran didn’t think much of it and answered truthfully, "Recently, Li Qian has been spending basically all his ti at his family’s Cultivation Base. As for what he’s researching, I have no idea. Besides, with his abilities, coming to school would just be a waste of ti anyway."
"That’s true. Soone who can figure out the evolution path from Koi Carp to Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon really has no reason to continue attending a Beast Taming High School," Zhou Chubin said, nodding in agreent.
Upon hearing that, Chu Xiran glanced at Teacher Zhou. It slowly dawned on her what Zhou Chubin was getting at, so she played along. "How about this, Teacher Zhou? Since this is your first ti in Lingshui City, you probably don’t know the way to Li Qian’s family Cultivation Base. As it happens, I need to go see him about sothing right now. If you don’t mind, you’re welco to co with ."
Zhou Chubin’s expression didn’t change when he heard this, but inwardly, he was filled with delight.
’This Chu Xiran... as expected of a graduate from Jiangnan Beast Taming University. My efforts in teaching her weren’t in vain, after all. She’s sharp—she understood what I wanted before I even had to ask.’
Indeed, the reason he hadn’t gone directly to Li Qian’s Cultivation Base wasn’t because he didn’t know the way. Rather, he felt that showing up unannounced would be a bit presumptuous and make his intentions too obvious.
If he could go with a mutual acquaintance or two, it would help quickly close the distance between them. Thinking this, he had decided to visit Li Qian’s alma mater, Lingshui City Beast Taming High School.
What he hadn’t expected was to strike gold the mont he entered the school. The Chu Xiran he’d run into was not only Li Qian’s cultivation teacher but also a graduate of Jiangnan Beast Taming University.
Now, he was even more confident he would achieve the goal of his trip.
He mused, ’For Li Qian to figure out the evolution path from Koi Carp to Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon while still in high school, his own cultivation Talent must be Demon Level, but his teacher, Chu Xiran, must have also played a crucial role. So you can’t just see them as having an ordinary teacher-student relationship. Calling them master and apprentice might be a stretch, but their bond definitely goes beyond the norm. With Chu Xiran accompanying , I can’t say it’s a guaranteed success, but it should be pretty close.’
As for Chu Xiran, her thoughts were very clear. ’Li Qian will definitely be attending a Beast Taming University. All else being equal, there’s no problem with giving priority to Jiangnan Beast Taming University. This isn’t just because I’m a graduate; it’s also a reasonably logical choice from an objective standpoint. Aside from Kyoto Beast Taming University and Zhonghai Beast Taming University, which are clearly a cut above, Jiangnan Beast Taming University isn’t necessarily at the top of the other six, but it’s definitely not at the bottom either. It’s at least in the upper-middle tier. Most importantly, it has a great academic atmosphere and is located in Nandu City, the capital of Jiangnan Province, making it the closest of the Eight Great to Lingshui City. Besides, I’m sure Li Qian himself will take these factors into consideration.’
Having reached a consensus, and since Chu Xiran didn’t have any classes at the mont, the two wasted no more ti and drove straight to the Jiaoyang Cultivation Base in the South Suburb.
Before long, Chu Xiran had driven her car, with Zhou Chubin in tow, to the main entrance of the Jiaoyang Cultivation Base.
As luck would have it, just as the two of them got out of the car and were about to step into the Cultivation Base, another car sped toward them.
It was a taxi. With a SCREECH of tires against the pavent, the taxi ca to a steady halt. A mature woman who looked to be in her thirties, wearing red-frad glasses and boasting a curvaceous figure, ducked her head and stepped out of the car.
The woman had delicate features and a voluptuous figure. The curve of her chest was almost exaggerated, and her eyes held a hint of subtle charm.
She had a beauty mark near the corner of her eye, which only added to her enchanting allure. She swayed her hips as she walked, and being at a woman’s most mature and sensual age, her every move, every expression, seed capable of bewitching a man’s soul.
"Well now, if it isn’t Teacher Zhou Chubin from Jiangnan Beast Taming University? I never expected to run into you in a small place like Lingshui City." The woman sauntered over, her ruby lips parting to release a voice like silver bells—a sound like an invisible hand plucking at a man’s heartstrings.
Zhou Chubin was, of course, also a man. When he saw this woman appear, his expression remained unchanged, but in reality, while his heart fluttered, alarm bells were already screaming in his mind.
The woman’s na was Xue Huaiyu. She was one of the admissions teachers from Shazhou Beast Taming University. Along with a handso young male teacher, she was known as one of Shazhou Beast Taming University’s "Twin Jades of Admissions."
