As the news of the battle between the Royal Academy and the Emperor Star Academy circulated around, the crowd quickly realized that the Royal Academy's victory over the Emperor Star Academy didn't mean anything.
The Emperor Star Academy was still the number one academy in the Royal Capital, its position unshakable.
Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng stood at the registration area of the Emperor Star Academy. Gazing at the faces of the crowd filled with vitality, the smiles on their faces were exceptionally radiant.
"Do you still remember the scene when you came to register for the examination last year?" Mo Qingcheng turned her head as she asked Qin Wentian.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded his head. He recalled that when he first arrived last year, Mo Qingcheng and Nolan had passed by on a horse carriage. At that time, Mo Qingcheng had pulled open the curtains and smiled at him. Now that he thought about it, could it be that she was really smiling at him?
"At that time, you were still very young and inexperienced." Mo Qingcheng blinked her eyes. She was clad in a pure white gown, resembling a fairy. Her slender and tall figure, coupled with her long hair, exuded the charm of a goddess. Many gazes were filled with envy when they saw the mischievous expression on her face when she looked at Qin Wentian.
Maybe, only the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet, Qin Wentian, would be able to enjoy such treatment.
"Am I very old now?" Qin Wentian's lips twitched.
Mo Qingcheng's beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian, as though she wanted to size him up. The current Qin Wentian's eyes were as clear as ever, but compared to the past, his demeanor had completely changed. He no longer had that feeling of immaturity. A year's worth of tempering had caused him to mature a lot. Not only that, in the past, Qin Wentian's emotions could be seen in his eyes. But now, it was impossible to see through him.
Being stared at by a great beauty like this, Qin Wentian felt somewhat unnatural. His radiant countenance had traces of shyness in it.
"Puchi!" Mo Qingcheng silently cursed in her heart when she saw this scene. The reason why she was so close to Qin Wentian wasn't because Qin Wentian was the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet. Other than a coincidence of good fortune, it was also because of Qin Wentian's simplicity. This was something she couldn't see in the outstanding youths of the Royal Capital.
"Ahem, Junior Brothers and Sisters still have to sign up." Qin Wentian was a little flustered being stared at by a beautiful woman. He secretly gritted his teeth. Why was he always teased by this girl?
When Mo Qingcheng saw Qin Wentian's expression, she found it even more hilarious. However, in front of others, she didn't want to show it too much. After all, she was different from others because there were too many gazes on her at all times.
She didn't like such an environment, but since her grandpa wanted her to come here, she had no choice but to do so. After all, she was still a young girl, and her daily life was extremely boring. She only had one close friend, Nolan. She didn't really like such an environment, it was only because her grandfather told her to come here.
"Senior Brother Qin." At this moment, a young man was running towards them. Big Mountain wanted to stop him, but the young man was agile and he managed to slip past him.
"Brat." Big Mountain scolded in a low voice, but he had a smile on his face. Clearly, he did not really blame him.
"Senior Brother? The examination hasn't ended yet, how can you be so sure that you will be able to enter the Emperor Star Academy? " Qin Wentian couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile when he saw that the young man was only about 15 years of age. He was younger than him by a year when he first entered the Emperor Star Academy.
The young man had a head full of delicate hair, and was dressed in ordinary clothes. His eyes were big and filled with innocence, yet filled with spirituality. When he looked at Qin Wentian, his gaze was filled with worship.
"Of course, I want to be the same as Senior Brother Qin. I want to be the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet a year from now. How can I not be able to enter the Emperor Star Academy?" The young man grinned.
"Keep on bragging." Big Mountain walked over and patted his head, causing the young man to scratch his head and stare at Big Mountain. "Senior Mountain, since Senior Brother Qin can do it, I can definitely do it as well."
"Okay, I believe in you." Qin Wentian was extremely happy. There was finally someone who called him Senior Brother.
"Junior Brother Qin, this fellow's name is Zi Jun. He's the same as you, hailing from Sky Harmony City. He's a genius, and his first Astral Soul originated from the 3rd Heavenly Layer. The academy had already been paying attention to him, but who would have thought that this little rascal would be so arrogant." Big Mountain laughed. Although he was cursing and swearing on the surface, one could tell that he was extremely happy. Such a genius was extremely rare.
Qin Wentian's heart trembled. No wonder this fellow would worship him. So it turned out that he was also from Sky Harmony City. And from the way Big Mountain seemed to like him, it seemed that he wanted to teach this little rascal a lesson after entering the academy.
"Little fellow, work hard." Qin Wentian rubbed Zi Jun's head. Mo Qingcheng, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but giggle when she saw this scene. This fellow had yet to completely shed his immaturity, yet he still pretended to be so mature. How hilarious.
"Eh …" Qin Wentian glared at Mo Qingcheng. In front of his Junior Brother Qin, couldn't she give him some face?
"Is this beautiful elder sister Senior Brother Qin's girlfriend? She's so beautiful." Zi Jun gazed at Mo Qingcheng with admiration. He had never seen such a beautiful girl before.
Qin Wentian's eyes flickered, as he stared unblinkingly at Mo Qingcheng. He didn't say anything. This time around, it was Mo Qingcheng's turn to feel awkward. A bashful expression appeared on her face, incomparably beautiful.
Upon seeing this scene, Qin Wentian couldn't help but to laugh. The corners of his lips curled up as he looked at Zi Jun, "Mhm, it should be soon."
Mo Qingcheng, who was at the side, blushed even more when she heard Qin Wentian's words. She stealthily approached Qin Wentian and stomped on his foot, causing Qin Wentian to silently curse at how ruthless this lass was.
Zi Jun's intelligent eyes flickered as he raised his fist towards Qin Wentian. "Senior Brother, you can do it!"
"Mhm, you too."
"Okay, little fellow, come with me." Mountain pulled Zi Jun away, but Little Rascal didn't forget to turn his head back and winked at Qin Wentian, causing a smile to appear on Qin Wentian's face. He really hoped that Little Rascal would always have such a simple and honest heart.
"Hiss … …" At this moment, Qin Wentian drew in a breath of cold air. Lowering his head, he stared at the beautiful leg that was stepping on his foot. Qin Wentian bitterly smiled as he turned his head to look at Mo Qingcheng, only to see her staring straight ahead with a complacent smile on her face.
Indeed, it wasn't so easy to take advantage of beauties.
In the direction of the Royal Academy, there were several silhouettes present. Chu Tianjiao, Ye WuQue, Xiao Lan, Wu Chong, and the other geniuses who had defeated the Emperor Star Academy.
Xiao Lan's gaze shifted towards the direction of the Emperor Star Academy, landing on Qin Wentian as he mused, "This person can be considered a rare talent. Although he has some grudges with Luo Qianqiu, it doesn't hinder me from pulling him into my camp. Since this is something that will benefit me, I might as well give him a chance."
"Who's going over? Tell him that I wish to have a chat with him." Xiao Lan spoke in a low voice.
"Brother Xiao, are you referring to Qin Wentian?" Chu Tianjiao's countenance stiffened.
"Mhm." Xiao Lan nodded his head. "If he's obedient, that would naturally be for the best. It would also save us a lot of trouble."
"Brother Xiao loves talent, but I'm afraid that Qin Wentian won't be tactful." Although Chu Tianjiao was unhappy in his heart, he quickly adjusted his emotions as a gentle smile appeared on his face. He was very clear that Xiao Lan's status in the Nine Mystical Palace was even higher than Luo Qianqiu. Previously, when he contacted the Nine Mystical Palace, he didn't expect that they would send Xiao Lan over to Chu.
"Wuque, make a trip there." Chu Tianjiao spoke to Ye Wuque.
Ye Wuque's eyes narrowed, but he still nodded his head in a tranquil manner. After which, he walked in the direction of the Emperor Star Academy.
Qin Wentian couldn't help but have a bewildered expression on his face when he saw Ye Wuque walking in front of him.
Ye Wuque first cast a glance at Mo Qingcheng, as a hint of adoration could be seen in his eyes. He had always been interested in Mo Qingcheng, as he felt that only a beauty like Mo Qingcheng would be a good match for him. Sadly, Mo Qingcheng had always been cold to him.
"Qin Wentian." Ye Wuque shifted his gaze onto Qin Wentian.
"What's the matter?" Qin Wentian stared back at Ye Wuque, as traces of coldness flickered in his eyes.
"There's someone who wishes to see you, and wants you to make a trip there." Ye Wuque calmly spoke, as he pointed in the direction of the Royal Academy.
Qin Wentian shifted his gaze in the direction of the Royal Academy, only to see several pairs of eyes staring back at him. Among them were Chu Tianjiao, Wu Chong, and that mysterious Xiao Lan.
He discovered that Xiao Lan's gaze was the calmest when he looked at him. Not only that, he was standing in the middle of Chu Tianjiao and the rest.
Qin Wentian suddenly recalled that back then when the Royal Academy provoked the Emperor Star Academy, the first four were all extremely polite. Only when it came to Xiao Lan, he was extremely arrogant.
On the platform, Xiao Lan was as tranquil as still water. Qin Wentian could faintly sense that the person who wanted him to go over was none other than this mysterious Xiao Lan.
"Who is he?" Qin Wentian turned his head, as an expression of unhappiness flickered in his eyes.
These people were truly arrogant. If they wanted to see him, they could just come over, yet they directly ordered Ye Wuque to make a trip there. They had no one in their eyes.
Qin Wentian didn't know that in the eyes of Xiao Lan, this was already an opportunity for him.
This was a form of grace to him, Qin Wentian. After all, Qin Wentian had already formed a grudge with Luo Tianya and his son. Although Luo Tianya and his son couldn't represent the Nine Mystical Palace, they were still members of the Nine Mystical Palace. Qin Wentian had already offended the Nine Mystical Palace, and originally, he didn't have any more chances. Xiao Lan was giving Qin Wentian a chance, hoping that Qin Wentian would understand.
"You don't need to know, you only need to go over." Ye Wuque faintly stated. Qin Wentian could faintly guess that since this person was able to cause Chu Tianjiao to show some respect, as well as easily defeating the leader of the Heavenly Demon Alliance, Xue Lengfeng, this person should be the same as Luo Qianqiu, from the Nine Mystical Palace.
Mo Qingcheng furrowed her brows, as though she was unhappy. Such an attitude made her feel extremely unhappy.
"If he has any matters, he can look for me." Qin Wentian replied, causing Ye Wuque to be stunned. After which, a cold smile akin to a sharp sword flashed in his eyes. Qin Wentian was truly courting death.
After Ye Wuque returned to the Royal Academy, Xiao Lan asked, "Why didn't he come over?"
"He said that if you have any matters, you can go over and look for him." Ye Wuque stared at Xiao Lan as he replied. Momentarily, a terrifying light flickered in Xiao Lan's eyes. Instantly, the indifference in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a sharp glint of sharpness.
Inclining his head, he shifted his gaze onto Qin Wentian once again. As their gazes met, Qin Wentian could clearly feel the coldness and loftiness in Ye Wuque's eyes.
"Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in a place like Chu." Xiao Lan mused. If it wasn't for the unexpected news that the Azure Emperor might have left a secret in the Emperor Star Academy, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles from the Nine Mystical Palace to such a small place like Chu.
"The matter regarding the Emperor Star Academy has to be settled as soon as possible. I don't have that much time to waste." Xiao Lan spoke to Chu Tianjiao as he turned and walked away. He was arrogant, yet low-profile. Outsiders had no idea that the tyrannical young man from the Royal Academy was actually an important character from the Nine Mystical Palace. Maybe this low-profile was because of his arrogance, because he disdained to show off his might in a small place like Chu.
