The Royal Courtyard of the Li Family.
Luo Xiao stood on the bridge between the royal compound and the military compound. His hair fell on both sides of his shoulders. His face was incomparably pale. His gaze involuntarily looked towards the layers upon layers of pavilions and the winding paths leading to the secluded garden …
He was used to standing here. Even when he was a servant in the past, he could barely see a patch of autumn cedar forest and the eaves of a unique, light silver house through those buildings.
Luo Xiao had originally thought that he would have the opportunity to get closer to Li Yunzi after becoming a commander in the Li Clan's army. However, ever since he had expressed his feelings that day, Luo Xiao had never seen Li Yunzi again.
"Commander Luo, we all know what you are thinking. It's not that we don't want to give you a chance to visit her, but Yunzi has been grounded by her father. It's related to the reputation of the Li Family. Master doesn't want to hear anyone from the city talking about it," said Kong Tong, the young mistress of the Li Family.
"I have a small suggestion. If Master can arrange Miss Li Yunzi's marriage and spend some money to let the busybodies on the streets say that the people of the other cities are using this rumor to smear the Li Family and Miss Li Yunzi's reputation, the rumor will soon die down," Luo Xiao said to Kong Tong respectfully.
Kong Tong smiled when she saw Luo Xiao bowing and said, "That's a good idea. I'll ask Master to consider Yunzi's marriage in the near future."
"Thank you, my lady!" Luo Xiao was surprised and overjoyed. If Kong Tong agreed, the chance of success was very high!
"This is your order of appointment. Master asked me to give it to you. The Nine Cities of the Wasteland have formed an alliance and started a riot. They are trying to take over our Eastern Dawn Fortress. The army of the city has already gone there. You can leave tomorrow. If the Wasteland rioters think God is unfair by giving them such a barren land, let's show them who is the real God!" Kong Tong handed a document to Luo Xiao.
Luo Xiao took it with both hands respectfully. He had a grudge against the abandoned people, so he was happy to do this.
Killing was the most direct and effective way to deal with mobs. Besides, the fear of killing would spread across the entire Wasteland. People in other cities would have to live in this fear for a long time, and they wouldn't dare to do anything rash!
"Unlike the previous few minor achievements, completing this appointment will greatly increase your reputation in the city," Kong Tong continued.
"Luo Xiao won't let Madam and Master down!" Luo Xiao said.
"Oh, there's something I want to ask you …" Kong Tong suddenly thought of something.
Luo Xiao stopped, turned around and saluted again, waiting for Kong Tong to ask.
"The man who came back with you, do you recognize him?" Kong Tong dismissed the idea.
Luo Xiao frowned and doubtfully asked, "Zhu Minglang, isn't he a member of the clan?"
"There's no record of his name in the mansion. Who told you that he's a member of our clan?" asked Kong Tong.
"Miss Yunzi," Luo Xiao's eyes were moving. He was clearly thinking about this question carefully.
"Alright, you should go to Eastern Dawn City first. We'll talk about this in detail when you come back. I need to find out who this person is. If Yunzi was framed, it's inevitable that there would be some criminals around her," said Kong Tong.
Luo Xiao saluted again. When he turned around and left, his face turned gloomy.
If Zhu Minglang wasn't a member of the Li Family, why would Li Yunzi lie to him?

Dragon Tamer Institute
Inside the house, Zhu Minglang was overjoyed when Little Bai Qi finally came out of its cocoon!
Zhu Minglang carefully carried the sleepy Little Bai Qi out of his Spirit Realm. He couldn't wait to see its young appearance.
"That's strange, it's not an Azure Dragon?" Zhu Minglang looked at Little Bai Qi in astonishment!
Even though Little Bai Qi had turned into a dragon again, it was different from before!
Bai Qi used to be a pure-blooded Azure Ice Dragon. Its scales were firm, and it had a slender body and a long tail. It was similar to the Waterfall Flood Dragon, but it didn't have wings.
However, Bai Qi now had a pair of huge wings.
He remembered that Bai Qi did have a pair of wings that were as light and soft as a butterfly's when it was still in its cocoon. Now, the wings had grown into powerful wings that were covered with delicate and delicate ice feathers.
Furthermore, its wing bones were made up of several segments that were more flexible than human fingers. It seemed to allow it to spread its wings backward like a butterfly, showing off the beauty of its wings. It could also flap its wings forcefully to display amazing flying skills, allowing it to attack and dodge in the air freely. It could also fold its wings softly, making it look like a harmless and elegant little swan.
Of course, part of Bai Qi's Azure Dragon form had also been retained. Its neck, chest, hips, and tail were as slender and elegant as a snake's. It also had limbs and claws like a cat.
There were no hard scales on its body. Its neck was covered in silver-white velvet, like a noble tassel. The rest of its body was covered in soft silver velvet, which was as smooth as silver silk all the way to its tail.
Its tail was a little different, too. It was as long as a girl's braid. It was hard to tell if it was because the feathers on its tail were special, or if the frost on its body had spread on its own!
Zhu Minglang carefully observed Little Bai Qi while feeding it the nectar carefully.
What was interesting was that when this little ice dragon was sucking on the nectar seriously, the tail of this playful white braid would slowly curl up on its own. After a while, it would suddenly fall straight down, and there was no movement at all for a long time ….
Overall, Bai Qi was not as intimidating as before, but more elegant and noble. Every feather, every ice scale, and every inch of its skin had a unique sense of beauty.
"What kind of dragon is this? Is it a White-Feathered Flying Winged Dragon? It seems to have the lineage of dragons … could it be a Bingchen Bailong?" Zhu Minglang was unable to make an accurate judgment.
It looked like a Flying Winged Dragon, but the feathers on its wings were similar to those of the Frost Dragons. He searched through his memories of dragons, and realized that the Bingchen Bailong, which was said to reside in the icy sky, was very similar to the White-Feathered Flying Winged Dragon!
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Little Bai Qi's voice sounded a little childish. It was hard to tell if it was acting coquettishly because it was not full, or if it was just its original voice.
Zhu Minglang had already prepared enough nectar for it.
The thick floral scent of the nectar was filled into a small spoonful. Little White first looked at Zhu Minglang and then at the nectar. Her little eyes rippled with joy.
"Drink more, it's growing," Zhu Minglang said to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi sniffed the nectar and slowly moved his little head, which had grown a lot of white fur, to the nectar spoon. He licked the nectar gently like a little kitten.
Finally, it was full.
However, it did not seem like it wanted to return to the ice cocoon bed in the Realm of Spirits.
It slowly crawled into Zhu Minglang's arms and curled its long tail around its body. Its wings were folded to cover its curled up body. It then nestled in Zhu Minglang's arms with a happy expression, looking docile and lazy.
Soon, they heard the soft breathing of the Bingchen Bailong. It was sleeping soundly. The soft and comfortable fur made Zhu Minglang feel like he was raising a clingy little kitten instead of a real dragon!
Of course, Zhu Minglang also knew that after Little Bai Qi broke out of its cocoon, it had returned to its infancy.
The growth rate of most dragons was very slow. Dragons had a lifespan of thousands of years. They could easily consume the lives of two generations of humans from their infancy to adulthood.
This was when Dragon Shepard's role was maximized.
First of all, the Realm of Spirits was a growth greenhouse for all dragons that had signed a spirit contract. Even if they were sleeping in the Realm of Spirits, their growth rate would be accelerated.
Secondly, the rapid growth in the Realm of Spirits would not decrease the lifespan of the dragons.
Feeding them some special food or buying some spirit fruits would allow some young dragons to pass through their weakest stage in a very short period of time.
Bingchen Bailong was still young. It was fine. It could sleep a little longer and eat more nectar. As a real dragon, its appearance would change every day. In less than a month, it would possess great combat ability!
"Damn, I almost forgot that I have a month-end class today!" Zhu Minglang was so focused on Little Bai Qi that he did not even think about it.
The management of the Dragon Tamer Academy was very casual. A class would be set up every morning, and the students could decide whether they wanted to attend the class or not.
There were many free facilities and venues in the academy. The students could use them as they wished.
However, for things like choosing a new baby spirit from the Dragon Storage Palace, or receiving some healing medicine and special food, one had to earn enough credits to exchange for them.
In the Dragon Tamer Academy, credits were more expensive than gold and silver. The academy stored a lot of spirit treasures in the Great Warehouse Pavilion every year. As long as one earned enough credits, they could exchange for them.
It was said that there were dragon eggs in there.
Once they hatched, they would become real dragons.
Zhu Minglang had not visited the legendary Great Warehouse Pavilion yet. The main reason was that he had spent the credits he had earned with great difficulty to exchange for money and food. There was no need for him to drool over the Great Warehouse Pavilion …
The class every morning was not free. One credit was required.
The month-end class was free. Students of the same year could not miss it. Otherwise, their credits would be deducted.
Finally, it was time to go to class. Zhu Minglang tidied up his appearance. On one hand, the month-end class would be more informative. On the other hand, he had not seen the other students in his dorm yet, especially the girls. He wanted to see how beautiful they were.
