Just as Ye Tian and the others walked out of the academic building, they saw Guan Tianshui standing outside. He seed to be waiting for Ye Tian intentionally.
"Ye Tian, I know you want to get together with your friends, so I've specially prepared a feast as a send-off. Co with !" Guan Tianshui said, getting straight to the point.
It was impossible to get a good banquet at Linyuan Academy. Ye Tian had originally planned to just grab so dishes and wine from the academy's cafeteria and have a small gathering in his dorm. For Guan Tianshui to have personally prepared sothing for him was a real surprise.
"Thank you for the honor, Dean Guan. Since the feast is ready, let's go! Staying on good terms with the deans will be a great help to your future cultivation!" Ye Tian said with a smile.
So, the group followed Guan Tianshui to the deans' quarter. It was the first ti for Zhou Xiang, Ye Feifei, and the others, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited, looking around curiously all the way.
Before long, they arrived at a pavilion. Inside, a large round table was set with delicious dishes and, of course, several jugs of wine.
Xiao Wenjie was already seated. Seeing Ye Tian's group, he smiled and said, "Everyone, don't be so formal. Since you're Ye Tian's friends, let's have a send-off for both him and Zhang Xinlan together. Officially, we're expelling them from Linyuan Academy, but in reality, we're sending them to the Imperial City Academy.
"These two are Linyuan Academy's most outstanding talents. To have reached the Five Vein Realm at such a young age, they'll be among the best even at the Imperial City Academy. I am very gratified. Everyone, please sit!"
Ye Tian's group imdiately took their seats. At first, everyone felt a little intimidated, but after a few cups of wine, that feeling vanished. The atmosphere at the table quickly beca lively.
As deans, Xiao Wenjie and Guan Tianshui also made a gesture to Zhou Xiang and Ye Feifei out of consideration for Ye Tian. They took out a considerable number of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, as well as so excellent Martial Skills, making Zhou Xiang and the others grin from ear to ear.
The banquet went on for a long ti before finally concluding. However, Xiao Yaoyao never showed up. Xiao Wenjie asked Ye Tian why she was absent, and Ye Tian explained that she was breaking through to a new Realm and didn't want to be disturbed.
Ye Tian knew that Lin Ling, Ye Feifei, and Qin Xiaowan all had things they wanted to say to him, but they held back, finding it difficult to speak with so many people around.
After the banquet, Lin Ling was the first one unable to hold back. "Ye Tian, co to my office in a bit. I have sothing to discuss with you! But you can go after you've had a chance to catch up with your friends."
Naturally, Lin Ling wanted to give Ye Feifei ti first. That way, when he was with her, she wouldn't have to worry about others interrupting. Although she wasn't going to do anything with him, just being able to spend ti quietly with the man she loved was a blissful thing.
Ye Tian spent about two hours alone with Ye Feifei. There weren't many sweet nothings; with his departure so imminent, too many words would only make the atmosphere heavier.
He took out two Seven-Colored Lotus Seeds from his Storage Ring and repeatedly warned her that she must only absorb their energy after she had beco much stronger, as it would be a great help to her power.
Ye Feifei was curious about these Seven-Colored Lotus Seeds, but Ye Tian didn't elaborate, and she didn't press him. She knew that if Ye Tian wanted to tell her, he would. Besides, Ye Tian had many secrets, so it was normal for him to have such a strange item.
As for Qin Xiaowan, Ye Tian just exchanged a few simple words with her. He also gave her two Seven-Colored Lotus Seeds with roughly the sa instructions he gave Ye Feifei. After all, an insurmountable chasm still lay between them.
By the ti Ye Tian finally arrived at Lin Ling's office, it was already very late. Lin Ling had specially brewed a cup of tea for him; she had already reheated the water three tis before he arrived.
"Lin Ling, I've kept you waiting, haven't I? Did you miss so much that you had sothing to say?" Ye Tian asked, feigning ignorance.
"Of course I have a lot to say. This is the only way we won't be disturbed. Once you go to the Imperial City, it will be too difficult for us to et. I can't bear for you to leave, but I'm powerless to stop it," Lin Ling said.
"Don't worry. Once I beco powerful enough, I'll naturally have you co to the Imperial City. By then, no one will dare to bully us. The skies of the Imperial City will belong to us!" Ye Tian declared.
"Ye Tian, can you promise one thing?" Lin Ling asked, her expression suddenly turning serious.
Ye Tian was slightly taken aback. "Go on. What is it that's made you so secretive? I'm quite curious to know!"
"Within three years, can I beco your true woman? That is to say... can you formally marry ?" Lin Ling said.
"I could make you my woman right now. But since you've said you want a formal marriage, I'll naturally respect your wishes. If you want it to happen within three years, then I will definitely make it happen within three years. During the ti I'm away, I hope you'll focus on your cultivation.
"Raise your strength. In the future, I might even take you to the Holy Land. You see, I am the Young Master of the Shen Li Palace in the Holy Land. Sooner or later, I have to go back," Ye Tian said.
Although Lin Ling was shocked by Ye Tian's true identity, she didn't say much. Only soone from a Holy Land could possess his kind of talent. Hearing Ye Tian agree to her request, her heart was finally content.
Then she said, "I just want you to drink the tea I personally brewed for you, and then... just let stay quietly in your arms for a while!"
Ye Tian smiled faintly and gently pulled Lin Ling into his arms. He then picked up the teacup and took a slow sip. The tea was sweet and refreshing, leaving a fragrant aftertaste.
The two of them nestled together for a long ti before Ye Tian returned to his own quarters. As he left, he gave Lin Ling two Seven-Colored Lotus Seeds as well, telling her to keep them safe and absorb their energy when the ti was right.
Early the next morning, Ye Tian, Zhang Xinlan, and Guan Tianshui left Linyuan Academy. Their departure was kept secret, as they didn't want anyone to know Ye Tian's whereabouts. After all, Ye Tian had offended many people at the academy, with the Sima and Murong clans being pri examples.
If they knew he was leaving, they would certainly try to get revenge. "Alright, this is as far as I'll take you," Guan Tianshui said. "There is a horse carriage waiting three *li* ahead. I had soone leave it there for you, but there's no driver. You'll have to manage on your own."
"Thank you for your concern, Dean. If you ever have a chance to visit the Imperial City, I will be sure to treat you well. There's no need for more words. We'll part ways here!" Ye Tian said.
With that, Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan's figures flashed and disappeared. Guan Tianshui stood there for a while longer before finally leaving. "I hope you two can make a na for yourselves in the Imperial City! ...Hah..."
Before long, a horse carriage appeared before them. "Do you know how to drive a carriage?" Zhang Xinlan asked Ye Tian.
"I... think so? Why do you ask? Don't tell you know how?" Ye Tian asked, looking at Zhang Xinlan.
"I don't know how either. Usually, when I travel, I either ride a Flying Bird Demon Beast or just fly. By the way, now that you've broken through to the Five Vein Realm, you can fly on your own too, right? Why don't we ditch the carriage and just fly?" Zhang Xinlan suggested.
