"Ye Tian, my apologies for the offense! If you ever have the chance to visit the Imperial City, you are welco at my residence. I will certainly make ands in person! Farewell!" Ouyang Linfeng said.
Ouyang Linfeng and his followers then departed swiftly. The matter of coming to Linyuan Academy to seek revenge on Ye Tian had finally co to a close.
Elder Jin and the other two middle-aged n also exchanged a few pleasantries, which were nothing more than expressing their hope that Ye Tian would co to the Imperial City Academy for his Cultivation soon, as it offered a better environnt and conditions.
"Ye Tian, let's go! That was a close call, but no harm done! I know you have a lot of questions. We can talk about them when we get back," Xiao Wenjie said.
Everyone then returned to Linyuan Academy. The instructors went to their respective classes, leaving only Xiao Yaoyao to accompany Ye Tian to Xiao Wenjie's office.
They walked in silence. It wasn't until they reached the office that Xiao Wenjie spoke. "Ye Tian, I know you're very curious. To be honest, I'm just as curious myself. How did you get this Jade Pendant? And what else did he say when he gave it to you?"
"I understand the questions you have, Headmaster, but could you first tell what this Jade Pendant represents? For it to frighten even a super-family like the Ouyangs is highly unusual," Ye Tian countered.
Xiao Wenjie glanced at Ye Tian, seeming to have sothing he couldn't easily say. He remained silent for a long mont.
"If it's inconvenient for you to say, Headmaster, then let's just forget it," Ye Tian said. "All I can tell you is that he gave this Jade Pendant personally. He said that if I ran into trouble in the future, I could show it to you, and you would know what to do. He also told to visit him when I have the chance."
"Ye Tian, stop being so mysterious. You should know my father isn't a stranger. If he can't say sothing, he must have his reasons. Of course, we don't want to pressure you either," Xiao Yaoyao said.
At this point, Guan Tianshui couldn't hold back any longer. Like Xiao Yaoyao, he only had a vague understanding of the Jade Pendant's significance.
"Ye Tian, I'd also really like to know what's going on with this Jade Pendant. What secret does it hold that could scare off a powerful expert like Ouyang Linfeng?" Guan Tianshui asked.
"The owner of this Jade Pendant is of extrely noble status. Even the four great families of the Imperial City must treat him with the utmost respect. The fact that Ye Tian not only t him but also received his Jade Pendant shows that he thinks very highly of Ye Tian. This is a great fortune for him. As for who he is, it's better that you don't know. Knowing would do you more harm than good," Xiao Wenjie finally said.
Hearing Xiao Wenjie's explanation, the three of them—Ye Tian, Xiao Yaoyao, and Guan Tianshui—all had their suspicions. There were very few people who could command the reverence of the Patriarchs of the Imperial City's four great families. At the very least, this person had to be from the Royal Family.
And Ye Tian knew his surna was Long. That ant his status was incredibly high—not only a mber of the Royal Family, but likely soone who held imnse power within it. He might even be the Emperor himself.
He just couldn't understand why the Emperor would be in an unremarkable city working as an Innkeeper. 'Maybe I'll get the chance to figure it out for myself one day.'
"Ye Tian, now that this matter has been completely resolved, what are your plans? Will you continue your closed-door training, or go back and see your friends? With such a big commotion, I'm sure they know it had sothing to do with you. What do you think?" Xiao Wenjie asked.
"Instructor Xiao can just tell them what happened. I plan to continue my training! I want to see if I can break through to a new Realm before the field exercise," Ye Tian said.
"In that case, I'll make the arrangents. However, staying in the Gravity Chamber for too long isn't good. Although it's helpful for stimulating the body's potential, spending too much ti in there can actually overdraw that potential, making your next breakthrough very dangerous.
"Ye Tian, I do have a very good place in mind for your Cultivation. It's a bit dangerous and difficult, though. I'm not sure if you'd be willing," Xiao Wenjie said.
Ye Tian paused for a mont. To be honest, he had actually wanted to spend so more ti in the Gravity Chamber, but after what Xiao Wenjie said, he was too embarrassed to bring it up again.
"Where are you planning to send , Headmaster? I'm not afraid of danger, and as a martial artist, I'm certainly not afraid of hardship!" Ye Tian said.
"The field training exercise is coming up soon. This so-called 'field exercise' is really just a process of elimination based on the law of the jungle. The academy has a Teleportation Gate that can send you to a Demon Beast Region.
All the students will enter the Demon Beast Region. The area is vast, easy to get lost in, and very dangerous. There's always a risk of being eaten by a Demon Beast. This requires you to hone your wilderness survival skills, as well as your teamwork.
"In truth, the ultimate purpose of Linyuan Academy's training is to prepare you to contribute to the Empire's army. The Celestial Dragon Empire is peaceful for now, but there's no guarantee that war won't break out in a few years, or even a few decades. That's why I want to send you into the Demon Beast Region ahead of ti to train yourself," Xiao Wenjie said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian was incredibly excited. This was the sa place Xiao Yaoyao had taken him last ti. He had been so focused on asking her questions back then that he didn't get a chance to ask about the place itself. Now, the opportunity to go there in person was more than he could have hoped for.
'For one thing, my Eight-winged Golden Scale Python needs to get out and stretch its legs. I haven't seen it in a long ti, and I really miss it. It's just too inconvenient here at Linyuan Academy.'
"That's perfect! When can I go? I love this kind of exciting challenge!" Ye Tian asked, suppressing his excitent and adopting a serious expression.
"The timing is up to you. However, for this trip into the Demon Beast Region, you'll only be allowed to enter the Junior-Level Demon Beast Region. Even though it's a junior-level area, High-Level Demon Beasts can sotis appear. The probability is low, but it's not a zero-percent chance.
"Therefore, I've decided to have Yaoyao accompany you. It's getting late, so you two can go and prepare. Yaoyao knows how to get you into the Junior-Level Demon Beast Region," Xiao Wenjie said.
Ye Tian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. 'Being with Xiao Yaoyao is really a hassle,' he thought. 'It's all because of that special constitution of hers. It's a real headache. If I lose control... it's hard to say what the consequences would be.'
"Father, I'm an instructor for the honors class. What will they do if I leave? I think it would be better to have Lin Ling accompany Ye Tian. Although her strength is a little weaker than mine, she's more than capable of protecting him," Xiao Yaoyao said.
Xiao Yaoyao's suggestion made Ye Tian even more depressed. 'Because of her special constitution, I might be able to beco good friends with her. But that damn girl Lin Ling and I are total rivals. If I go to the Junior-Level Demon Beast Region with her, won't she tornt to death?'
Ye Tian glanced at Xiao Yaoyao and asked in a low voice, "If I go, how will your problem be solved?"
"We'll obviously go after my problem is taken care of. I actually want to go with you, but the honors class can't be without an instructor. We also don't feel comfortable letting you go alone, which is why we're having Lin Ling accompany you. You should understand that," Xiao Yaoyao said...
