However, among the four major academies on Witch Star, Flying Leopard Academy ranks last."
Yang Xiao laughed.
Xinghai gave a wry smile, then sighed and said:
"In the past, Flying Leopard Academy was not inferior to the other three academies, but in recent decades, the Flying Leopard Empire has suffered from a lack of talent, which directly affected the quality of the students at Flying Leopard Academy, eventually creating a vicious cycle. As a result, many highly gifted individuals from Flying Leopard Empire went to the other three academies to study and cultivate,
Sigh, ultimately, it's because I, as the dean, am incapable of expanding the academy."
Xinghai said this and looked at Yang Xiao, smiling:
"I'm still hoping you can earn so reputation for , change the outsiders' impression of Flying Leopard Academy. After you defeated Long Jing from Heavenly Dragon Academy, the number of people coming to study at our academy increased by about 5%.
I still hope that in the coming years, you continue to participate in inter-academy student exchange competitions, defeat students from Heavenly Dragon Academy, and bring honor to our Flying Leopard Academy. I didn't expect that you would leave school early now."
"Haha, it's no problem. I'll co back to participate in the student exchange competition next ti."
Xinghai was stunned for a mont, then slapped his thigh and laughed,
"Great, why didn't I think of that?"
Yang Xiao chatted with Xinghai for a while longer, then took his leave.
...
Since parting with Long Jing at Flying Leopard Academy a year ago, although Yang Xiao seed to have let go of Long Jing on the surface, he would occasionally think of her.
Long Jing's every smile and frown, her appearance's shadow always lingered deep in Yang Xiao's heart, unable to be erased.
Yang Xiao rembered the ssage Long Jing left him when she left,
"I wish for one heart to be won, never to be apart till old."
"If you have a double heart, we shall never see each other again."
At the ti of Long Jing's departure, Yang Xiao wasn't able to chase after her to explain things clearly.
However, Yang Xiao knew he had let down Long Jing's deep feelings for him.
There were so misunderstandings within this, and Yang Xiao now felt he should find Long Jing to explain, at least he should tell Long Jing that he never thought they would et again after parting ways on Earth. He thought he would never see Long Jing again in this lifeti, otherwise he would have imdiately sought her out upon arriving at Witch Star.
Long Jing was once a beautiful dream in Yang Xiao's heart, a dream that couldn't co true and could only be savored occasionally in his sleep.
Yang Xiao was ultimately a person grounded in reality, and he had to return to the real world, unable to persist for a re dream.
Several days later, Yang Xiao said goodbye to Xiao Ling and Bing'er and left Flying Leopard Academy.
In Flying Leopard Town, Yang Xiao traveled through the transmission array to a small town near Heavenly Dragon Academy, Heavenly Dragon Town.
Heavenly Dragon Academy was located in a serene valley, with a geographical environnt sowhat similar to that of Flying Leopard Academy, surrounded by endless mountain ranges.
Setting the academy amid mountains allows students to hunt demon beasts in the mountains, which is a very important environnt for cultivating the genetic evolution thod,
If the academy were located in a big city, thousands of students would find it difficult to locate enough demon beasts nearby for cultivation.
It was about a five-kiloter mountain road from Heavenly Dragon Town to Heavenly Dragon Academy, bustling with people coming and going.
Most of these people were students from Heavenly Dragon Academy, who frequently ca out of the academy for various reasons, to buy so daily necessities in the neighboring town, or to relax with two or three close friends, have a al at a restaurant.
After all, within the academy, there were many rules and strict constraints, making the outside relatively freer.
Yang Xiao ca to the entrance of Flying Leopard Academy.
Outside the gate stood a squad of guards, with a sentry post and another squad of guards inside the defensive light curtain gate.
Yang Xiao hesitated for a mont before walking up to a guard, asking very politely:
"Hello, I would like to find a friend. How can I get in touch with her?"
The guard glanced at Yang Xiao, noticing his extraordinary disposition, and enthusiastically asked:
"Who are you looking for? What's their na? Which specific academy class are they in?"
Yang Xiao gave an awkward smile and said:
"I only know her na; I don't know anything else."
"Oh dear, in that case, it will be hard to find her. Our academy has over thirty thousand people. With just a na and no specific class number, it's really difficult to find soone."
The other guard standing nearby laughed and said:
"Unless the person you're looking for is very famous, otherwise, you have to check the student nas at the academy's teaching office to find her, but that's quite troubleso."
Yang Xiao pondered for a mont and said:
"The person I'm looking for should have so fa; maybe you've all heard of her na."
"Oh, is that so? Then tell us, what's her na?"
"Her surna is Long, and her na is Jing."
"Surna Long, na Jing, Long Jing?"
The guard was taken aback and looked at Yang Xiao, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, then smiled and asked:
"Is the Long Jing you're looking for a boy or a girl?"
"A girl."
"Does she have any other identifying information?"
"Yes, she seems to be a princess of the Flying Leopard Empire."
The two guards exchanged glances and chuckled, saying:
"Brother, you are too infatuated!"
Yang Xiao was taken aback:"What do you an?"
"Haha, brother, don't pretend. There are too many people who co here seeking Princess Long Jing and wanting to pursue her. We encounter one every few days,
Sigh, I don't want to dampen your spirits, but it's hopeless. Just go back."
The other guard added:
"Yes, go back, brother. Focus on your cultivation. Don't think about these unrealistic things. I can see you have an extraordinary aura; your family must be quite well-off. Pursue other girls, why waste ti here?"
Yang Xiao: "..."
"Brothers, you've misunderstood. I'm—I'm not here to pursue Princess Long Jing, I'm here to find her for a matter."
"Oh? Do you know Princess Long Jing?"
"Well, sort of."
"Sort of? Does Princess Long Jing know you?"
"Yes, she knows ."
The two guards exchanged looks and smiled slightly, asking:
"Brother, what's your relationship with Princess Long Jing?"
"Friends!"
"Really friends?"
"Of course, brothers, could you help out and pass a ssage along? Just say soone nad Yang Xiao ca to find her, she'll definitely co out to see ."
The two guards were stunned for a mont, then said:
"We can pass your ssage along, but whether she cos to see you is another matter."
"In that case, I'd be grateful if you brothers could help. Just tell her soone nad Yang Xiao is here to see her."
"Alright."
One of the guards took out a device similar to an Earth phone and typed a line of text on it.
"Yang Xiao requests to see Princess Long Jing from the Advanced Academy Departnt."
After sending the ssage, the guard said to Yang Xiao:
"Brother, don't worry. I've sent your ssage to the academy's communication office. The staff inside will contact Princess Long Jing for you."
"Thank you, brother."
Yang Xiao waited outside the gate for about half an hour.
The device in the guard's hand emitted a "beep beep" sound.
The guard looked down at the device, smiling as he handed the screen to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao glanced at it and saw a few words written:
"Don't know you, not eting!"
