Over two hundred people visited Yang Xiao asking about ntor work even before the Flying Leopard Academy students graduated. Yang Xiao selected around one hundred people as reserve personnel, and they would imdiately go to Purple Source Star as ntors if they were willing, after graduation.
Dean Xinghai found Yang Xiao and jokingly said:
"Yang Xiao, hasn’t my Flying Leopard Academy been cultivating students for over a decade just to have them snatched away by you?"
"Dean, that’s not quite correct."
"Oh, how isn’t it correct?"
Yang Xiao grinned:
"Dean, think about it. Right now, Purple Source Star is an ally of the Flying Leopard Empire. It’s precisely because of our alliance that the Flying Leopard Empire’s crystal stone allocation has increased from ten percent to thirty percent, giving the Flying Leopard Empire an advantage in evolution resources,
Moreover, our Purple Source Star has successively killed Long Kui and War God during the confrontation with the Great Dragon Empire. So, wouldn’t a stronger Purple Source Star be beneficial for its ally, the Flying Leopard Empire?"
Dean Xinghai nodded,
"Hmm, you have a point."
"Not just a point but a very strong argunt. You are now supporting the Genetic Cultivation Academy construction on the Resource Star, making our Guangfu Clan stronger so they can team up with the Flying Leopard Empire to oppose the Great Dragon Empire more comfortably,
Thus, sending one hundred trainees is a small price for gaining a powerful ally. The Flying Leopard Empire definitely benefits!"
Dean Xinghai burst into laughter,
"You kid, always looking to take advantage while pretending to be innocent..."
...
In the blink of an eye, the Witch Star Go Tournant day arrived.
The Great Dragon Empire appointed Eldest Prince Long Aotian as the chief organizer, with Long Jing assisting him in organizing this tournant.
This was the first international exchange tournant held by the Great Dragon Empire after losing Long Kui and War God. It was an opportunity to showcase its national prestige. The entire Wentian City Dragon City attached great importance, enhancing security asures to the highest level.
Yang Xiao found Bing’er.
"Bing’er, we’ve been away from the Great Dragon Empire Dragon City slum for three years. Do you want to go back and have a look?"
Bing’er was now nine years old, practicing Genetic Evolution thod with Xiao Ling at the Flying Leopard Academy, having reached the King Level Realm.
Upon hearing Yang Xiao was going to the Great Dragon Empire’s Dragon City, Bing’er quickly said excitedly:
"Yes, Uncle, Bing’er wants to go back to see, to see the neighbors and friends from the slum, and also to pay respect at grandpa and Caixia’s sister’s grave."
Upon saying this, Bing’er’s tears started flowing uncontrollably.
Ever since following Yang Xiao to the Flying Leopard Academy, Bing’er had greatly changed, no longer easily saddened or crying, nor lanting her tragic fate.
However, at this mont, speaking of the slum in Dragon City, vivid mories poured back, finally bringing her to tears.
Yang Xiao gently hugged Bing’er and said:
"Bing’er, don’t cry. Uncle will take you to see grandpa and Caiyun."
"Hmm!"
Bing’er nodded, wiping her tears and forcefully holding back from crying.
Xiao Ling, standing nearby, held Bing’er’s hand and smiled:
"Bing’er has grown up to be a strong child. What’s past is past, your future life will get better and better. No one will bully you anymore."
Xiao Ling knew many details about Bing’er and Yang Xiao’s past, including Yang Xiao’s past with Caixia.
Xiao Ling was now a happy and content woman, satisfied with her thriving career at Flying Leopard Academy, feeling fortunate and happy with her life with Yang Xiao.
"Bing’er, prepare yourself. Three days later, we’ll go to Dragon City."
"Okay."
...
Three days later, Yang Xiao, Flying Leopard Empire Royal Chess Academy’s Dean Wanyan Hong, and Eldest Prince Wanyan He traveled together, accompanied by Liang Bao, Xiao Gang, and a dozen guards, arriving at the Great Dragon Empire’s Dragon City by spaceship.
Over one hundred Go masters from dozens of Witch Star empires checked into the Great Dragon Empire Royal Inn.
Yang Xiao was quite familiar with this Royal Inn, arranged by Eldest Prince Long Aotian during Yang Xiao’s first visit to Witch Star and the Great Dragon Empire.
With several days remaining before the Go tournant, Yang Xiao decided to take Bing’er to visit the slum in the suburbs after settling in.
Yang Xiao first went to the Genetic Store Headquarters in Dragon City.
"Hello, is Gu Hai in?"
Yang Xiao asked a Genetic Store Headquarters staff mber.
The staff looked at Yang Xiao and said indifferently:
"Who are you, and what business do you have with Lord Gu Hai?"
"I’m Yang Xiao, an old friend of Lord Gu Hai’s. Could you please notify him?"
"Yang Xiao?"
The staff furrowed his brow, wondering, unable to recall any friend of Lord Gu Hai nad Yang Xiao. However, he dared not offend, and said:
"Please wait, I’ll go and inform him."
He then turned upstairs.
...
Gu Hai was working in his office on the second floor when the staff knocked and entered.
"Lord Gu, soone outside claims to be your friend and wants to see you."
"Oh? Which friend, did he ntion a na?"
"He did, a young man nad Yang Xiao. I guessed, being so young, he couldn’t be your friend, so I wanted to refuse directly but feared making a mistake, so I ca to inform you."
Gu Hai first looked surprised,
"Yang Xiao? That na seems familiar. How co I can’t recall imdiately?"
A flash of light appeared in his mind; Gu Hai slapped his forehead:
"Oh dear, how could I forget brother Yang,"
Gu Hai said, running out of the office, hurrying downstairs.
The clueless staff stood stunned in the office, then hurriedly followed downstairs.
Yang Xiao stood in the lobby, Bing’er beside him.
Gu Hai rushed down the stairs, seeing Yang Xiao from afar, shouted:
"Oh, brother Yang, long ti no see, such a rare treat! I wondered why my eyelids were twitching incessantly today; turns out a valued guest was arriving."
Gu Hai ran to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao laughed heartily; both shook hands warmly.
When Yang Xiao fled the Great Dragon Empire’s Dragon City, Gu Hai was instruntal in aiding him. Without Gu Hai’s help, Yang Xiao and Bing’er couldn’t have escaped Dragon City, possibly getting killed by Long Aotian’s n.
Yang Xiao deeply appreciated Gu Hai’s help.
They shook hands tightly and embraced.
Gu Hai instructed the staff who followed:
"How do you handle things? Rember, in the future, whenever brother Yang cos by, he is a distinguished guest. Do not neglect him; inform imdiately."
The staff lowered his head, saying:
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Internally muttering, how could I have known she was his friend, huh?
