Standing in front of the inner castle's gate, Zhao Hai was stunned. The inner castle's gate wasn't as imposing as the outer castle's gate. The inner castle's gate was very small, at most five meters high and three meters wide. It would take a lot of effort for a carriage to enter. Moreover, there weren't any guards here, and the gate was open, as if anyone could enter.
However, when Zhao Hai looked around, he discovered that the people living in the outer castle simply didn't approach the gate. It was as if there was an invisible force separating them from the gate.
Hu Xian 'er, who was standing beside Zhao Hai, saw Zhao Hai's appearance. She faintly smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you surprised? In fact, there's nothing strange about it. This is because the academy has a rule. If a servant or guard of a family enters the inner castle without permission, then the student will be severely punished. If a servant of a family enters the inner castle without permission three times, then the student will be expelled from the academy. "
Zhao Hai nodded, but he was somewhat puzzled as he looked at Ling 'er, who was standing beside Hu Xian' er. Ling 'er was also a servant, but now she was standing beside Hu Xian' er, looking as if she wanted to go in with her. This made Zhao Hai very curious.
Hu Xian 'er naturally saw Zhao Hai's expression. She faintly smiled and said, "Don't look at it. In the academy, there are young masters and young ladies of various families. Many of them don't even have to touch spring water. It's really difficult for them to live an independent life here. Therefore, the academy also stipulated that every student can bring two servants into the inner castle, but they must register in advance. Moreover, they can't be casually replaced. Once a year, they must register again. Therefore, Ling' er can go in with me."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Then let's go in." Hu Xian 'er nodded, then she led Zhao Hai through the gate and entered the inner courtyard.
Upon entering the inner courtyard, Zhao Hai was stunned. This was because the scenery of the inner courtyard was completely different from the outer courtyard. The outer courtyard looked like an ordinary city, and there were even people doing business there. However, the inner courtyard was completely different. In the inner courtyard, you simply couldn't see many buildings. Instead, it looked like a garden. There were neatly trimmed trees, grass, rockery, small bridges, and flowing water. Everything looked very beautiful.
However, when Zhao Hai saw this situation, he frowned. Then he recovered. In his opinion, the trimming of the trees in the inner courtyard was only for aesthetic reasons. There was no consideration for the health of the trees. Moreover, the grass was the same. He didn't like this. He was a Plant Master. Although he would trim some trees, it was for the sake of the tree's health. He wouldn't trim the trees like the ones in the inner courtyard.
Hu Xian 'er didn't care about what Zhao Hai was thinking. She just said, "There aren't many students in the inner courtyard. Moreover, all of the students have an extraordinary status. Therefore, everything is based on comfort. Let's go and register." Then she led Zhao Hai along the bluestone road.
After walking for a few dozen meters, they saw a small building in the middle of a thicket. This building was made of bluestone bricks. It didn't look out of place as it stood in the middle of the thicket. It looked as if it had always been there.
Hu Xian 'er led Zhao Hai to the small building. It wasn't very big, it only had two floors. There weren't a lot of rooms. Hu Xian' er didn't stop and directly led Zhao Hai into the small building. As soon as the two entered the small building, they saw a lobby. There was a bar in the lobby. Behind the bar were several young girls. These girls weren't ordinary. Their souls were either Soul Plant Masters or Soul Soldiers. There were only a few Soul Craftsmen and Soul Beasts. At this time, they were chatting with each other.
As soon as they felt someone come in, the girls immediately turned their heads. Before long, they saw Zhao Hai and Hu Xian 'er. Hu Xian' er walked in front while Zhao Hai followed behind her. When the girls saw Hu Xian 'er, their faces showed a trace of joy. Then when they saw Zhao Hai, they were all surprised.
Looking at these young and beautiful girls, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile. Hu Xian 'er didn't care too much as she led Zhao Hai to the front of the bar. Then she looked at the girls and said, "What are you doing? Come and help me and my little brother register. We're back to register. "
The girls immediately recovered. One of the Soul Plant Masters immediately said to Hu Xian 'er, "Sister Xian' er, you're back. I missed you. Is this really your little brother? You're so tall. "
Hu Xian 'er looked at the girl and smiled faintly, "Alright, Little Ling, help us register a student card for my little brother. We'll talk when we get back."
When the girl heard Hu Xian 'er, she immediately complied. Then she began to process Hu Xian' er's paperwork. Hu Xian 'er's paperwork was very easy to handle. After all, she was already a student of the academy. As long as she registered, then her student card would be issued to her.
But Zhao Hai was different. This was the first time he entered the academy. His student card needed to be registered. This was more troublesome because all of his information had to be verified.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry. When the girls heard that Zhao Hai was only 16 years old, they couldn't help but exclaim. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would be this young, he was even younger than them.
These girls were actually students of the academy. Most of them had studied in the academy for more than two years. They were paid to work here. Of course, the students who came to work here didn't have good family backgrounds.
Zhao Hai's student card was quickly processed. When he received the card, he couldn't help but stare. He didn't think that there would be a picture of him on the card. Moreover, the picture looked like a sketch, but it was clear that it was him.
Hu Xian 'er turned her head and looked at Zhao Hai's student card. Then she said, "Let's go. I'll take you to your place. Ling-er, after you get off work, come find me in my room. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
After that, Hu Xian'er said goodbye to the others and led Zhao out of the small building. When they came out of the small building, Zhao realized how big the inner castle was. It seemed to be bigger than the outer castle. Hu Xian'er introduced Zhao to everything in the inner castle. She explained to Zhao where each building was, where they could eat, where they could practice, where they could have lessons, where they could have lessons, and where they could have a library. Everything was clearly explained to Zhao.
Along the way, the two met a lot of people. These people were all students of the academy. Some of these people took the initiative to greet Hu Xian 'er. They seemed to be very affectionate. There were also some people who ignored Hu Xian' er and even showed some hostility. However, Hu Xian 'er didn't care about it. Those who took the initiative to greet her, she would return the greeting. Those who ignored her, she would also ignore them.
However, no matter what kind of people they were, they were all very curious about Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai's figure was too special. It was hard for these people to not pay attention to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai also didn't care about it. However, he still remembered everyone in his mind. Whether they were affectionate, indifferent, or hostile, he remembered all of them. Then he prepared to have a very detailed understanding of these people in order to determine who was an enemy and who was a friend.
The two walked for about half an hour before they arrived at a small building. This small building was on top of a small hill and was surrounded by tall trees. This small building was very strange. It wasn't like the other small buildings that were made of bricks. This small building was made of wood. It looked very special.
Hu Xian 'er and Zhao Hai arrived in front of this small wooden building. Then Hu Xian' er said to Zhao Hai, "This is where you'll be staying. Pine Forest Residence, second floor, room 16. It should be the last room in this small building. You can go in and take a look. If there's anything you need, you can go outside and get it."
Zhao Hai nodded and followed Hu Xian 'er into the small building. Upon entering the small building, Zhao Hai stared. He didn't think that the first floor of this small building would be a living room. Moreover, the living room's decoration was very good. There were a lot of sofas and chairs. Even if twenty people were to sit in this living room, it wouldn't feel crowded.
Next to the living room, there was actually another room. This room was a boiling room. You can boil water there, but you can't cook there. This was because there was a fixed dining hall in the academy. Naturally, there weren't many people who would go to the dining hall to eat.
Just as the two entered the wooden building, the door to the side opened. A man came out of the room. When he saw Hu Xian 'er, he stared blankly. Then his gaze turned to Zhao Hai. His eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.
When Hu Xian 'er saw this man, she couldn't help but smile and said, "So Senior Ma lives here. That's great. My little brother just reported to the academy today and was assigned to room 16. In the future, Senior Ma will have to take care of him. Xian' er thanks Senior Ma."
When the man who Hu Xian 'er addressed as Senior Ma heard Hu Xian' er, he quickly smiled and said, "Junior Xian 'er is too polite. So it's your little brother. He's really tall. Looking at him, it's hard to say who will be taking care of who in the future."
Hu Xian 'er smiled and said, "He's just an idiot. He's only 16 years old. Because he's always been a troublemaker since he was young, it's hard for his family to take care of him. So he was sent here. In the future, I'll have to ask Senior Ma to help him. He doesn't know much about the academy. If Senior Ma has time, please talk to him, lest he offends people everywhere."
When Zhao Hai heard Hu Xian 'er, he knew that Hu Xian' er and Senior Ma weren't just being polite. Zhao Hai looked at Senior Ma. This Senior Ma's stature wasn't very tall, but he looked very strong. His eyes were very sharp. The soul item on his head was also very special, it was a mace.
When Senior Ma heard Hu Xian 'er's words, he smiled and said, "Alright, since Junior Xian' er has already said it, there's no reason for me to decline. Don't worry, I'll definitely tell him about the things he should pay attention to in the academy. Are you guys going to his room? Come, I'll send you up. "
Hu Xian 'er quickly said, "No need, we don't need to trouble Senior Ma. We can go up by ourselves. Crane Grass greets Senior Ma. Senior Ma is famous in the academy for his love of helping newcomers. In the future, you can ask him for advice. Don't mess around, understand?"
Zhao Hai nodded, then he followed Hu Xian 'er upstairs.
