On the small table beside them, there was an old teapot, with wisps of steam rising from it.
"Dean!" Lin Daochen spoke softly with full respect when he saw Elder Weng.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing’s heart leapt, and he looked at Elder Weng again. Although he was ntally prepared, he still couldn’t believe it.
Elder Weng opened his eyes, nodded slightly at Lin Daochen, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He then said, "Congratulations, you have finally taken this step!"
Lin Daochen bowed imdiately and said, "Thank you, Dean. This step took so long to take, and it fulfilled a long-held wish. I ca this ti specifically to say goodbye to you."
Subsequently, Lin Daochen told about the matters regarding the County Governor of Longyuan County, Zhong Yao, and Prince Xuanyuan Shuo.
Weng Yunqi listened quietly, then nodded and said, "As a citizen of the Holy Martial Dynasty, in matters concerning national security, it is of course our duty. But the border is dangerous, you must be careful."
Lin Daochen replied respectfully, "Yes, Dean. By the way, I brought two others with this ti; they are also from the academy..."
"Zhou Qing, long ti no see. I didn’t expect you to have broken through to Divinity Transformation so quickly!" Before Lin Daochen could finish the introduction, Elder Weng suddenly spoke with a smile.
Lin Daochen was slightly startled and full of doubts.
They actually know each other?
Zhou Qing walked forward with a wry smile and bowed respectfully, saying, "I didn’t expect you to be the Dean."
Recalling all the experiences of the past nine months, Zhou Qing felt sowhat embarrassed.
No wonder he couldn’t detect his cultivation at all back then. He thought he was just an ordinary old man, but it turned out he was a Spirit Severing Realm expert.
Elder Weng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Dean is just a title, nothing more. You are really quite good."
"Thank you for the complint, Dean!" Zhou Qing said gratefully.
Zhou Qing was in the Divinity Transformation Realm, so Lin Daochen could naturally sense it clearly.
After all, in the academy, many people concealed their cultivation for various reasons.
So did it to study better, while others did it to seek more opportunities by forming connections.
To Lin Daochen, this was not unexpected at all.
However, what surprised him at this mont was that the Dean seed to have a rather familiar relationship with Zhou Qing. Moreover, the Dean rarely praised others, but he spoke highly of Zhou Qing, which made Lin Daochen curious.
Then, Lin Daochen pulled Siyun Ya over and introduced him to Elder Weng, "Dean, this is Siyun Ya. He is very talented in the Array path and is a rare talent."
"Greetings, Dean!" Siyun Ya bowed respectfully.
Elder Weng nodded slightly and looked at Siyun Ya, saying, "I have seen him a few tis. Zhou Qing’s quick breakthrough to Divinity Transformation is thanks to him."
Hearing this, Siyun Ya was taken aback, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Qing’s heart was also in turmoil.
Lin Daochen beca even more puzzled.
How co the Dean knows both of the juniors he brought?
But Elder Weng didn’t say more. He closed his eyes again, yawned gently, and said slowly, "Alright, I am tired too. Co back early after getting things done. That place is not suitable for a long stay."
Seeing that his purpose for this trip had been achieved, Lin Daochen bowed respectfully again and then left with Zhou Qing and Siyun Ya.
After turning several main streets, Siyun Ya, who had been silent, suddenly stopped and said, "Sir, I want to buy so things around here. You two go back to the academy first; I’ll be back soon."
Lin Daochen nodded in agreent, reminding him, "Be careful and co back quickly."
Zhou Qing looked at Siyun Ya thoughtfully but ultimately said nothing.
This Dean’s cultivation is definitely above Siyun Ya’s.
In the past few years, the major sect that traveled through various mansions never noticed that they were being secretly watched.
...
When Zhou Qing returned to the Cave Mansion, Siyun Ya was already waiting for him.
"Don’t worry, it’s fine. Luckily, he only followed for the last two months. He probably wasn’t around when you broke through to Divinity Transformation," Siyun Ya said.
Zhou Qing’s Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown was extrely special, and the fewer people who knew, the safer it undoubtedly was.
After hearing this, Zhou Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and his expression eased a lot.
"Tell about the things between you two," Siyun Ya thought for a mont and said.
Zhou Qing organized his thoughts and recounted everything that happened in Vast Mansion over the past nine months.
After listening, Siyun Ya suddenly realized sothing.
He then said, "His cultivation should be above mine, and he probably doesn’t belong to our Fourth-level Cultivation Country."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing was sowhat shocked and said, "A cultivator from another country?"
Siyun Ya nodded and continued, "I felt an aura of the Celestial Five Declines from him, but it wasn’t fully like it. I reckon he must be injured and hiding here to heal."
Zhou Qing pondered.
Siyun Ya patted Zhou Qing’s shoulder and earnestly said, "Rest assured, for now, it seems he has no other intentions. But the human heart is unpredictable, so we must still be on guard."
Zhou Qing deeply agreed, nodded seriously, and showed that he understood.
Soon, a hen flapped its wings and ran in from outside the Cave Mansion, with Yan Xiaohu chasing behind, "Hey, you’re back. I’ve got everything ready here. When are we setting off?"
Zhou Qing squatted down with a smile, and the hen flapped its wings and jumped right up.
He gently stroked the hen’s feathers, feeling how smooth and silky they were. The mid-grade Spirit Stones certainly had their effect over the past few years.
