Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr The girl was young, but her figure was already curvy. Coupled with her delicate and pretty face, she would definitely grow into a slender and elegant woman in two years' time. However, at this moment, her clear eyes were filled with worry.
Perched on the girl's shoulder, a little green bird lifted its little head, its beady black eyes fixed on the body of the plain-clothed beautiful woman.
The tight-fitting woman looked to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years of age. Her devilishly alluring figure was seductively curved, and on her peerlessly beautiful face, her clear eyes were currently filled with coldness. Arriving in front of the black-clothed man, she gave him a vicious kick and said, "Then do you know the current whereabouts of that youth?"
The black-clothed man was sent flying by the tight-fitting woman's kick, but he immediately crawled back up obediently, his voice trembling as he said, "Milady, I truly do not know the whereabouts of that purple-robed youth. Our Sect Leader has personally come out of seclusion to search for him. All the major factions are also searching for him, but his whereabouts are nowhere to be found. Milady, please spare me. I've already told you everything I know, without hiding anything at all."
"The people of the Black Fiend Sect deserve more than death. If big brother Shaofu appears to be in any danger, I will definitely not let the Black Fiend Sect off." A chill rose in the girl's clear eyes, her voice turning cold as she said in a low voice, "Little circle, kill this man from the Black Fiend Sect. All of them deserve to die!"
"Roar!"
A tiger's roar rang out, and a ferocious tiger pounced out from behind the girl, opening its ferocious jaws and swallowing the black-clothed man in an instant.
The plain-clothed beautiful woman looked at the girl's misty figure, her eyes rippling slightly as she said, "If you want to do anything, you need to have the strength to do so. You are extremely talented, and although you cannot compare to the younger generation of those large clans, most importantly, you have an exquisite and pure heart. You are perfectly suited to take over my mantle, and in the future, you will not be any weaker than the younger generation of those large clans. Come with me."
The young woman gazed at the woman and said, "Senior, I still haven't seen Big Brother Shaofu. Can you help me find Big Brother Shaofu? I'll leave with you if you can find Big Brother Shaofu."
"I promised to help you, but now that the person you're looking for is out of danger, you should come with me. If you really don't want to, I won't force you. You can decide for yourself." The woman in plain clothes looked at the young girl, her eyes rippling slightly. There was an innate noble air about her.
"Xingyu, you should follow Senior. Tianwu Academy is right in front of us. When the time comes, I will seek the help of the experts in the academy. If that fellow is around, he will allow you to follow Senior. When the time comes, you should cultivate well and become an expert." The tight-fitting lady could tell that the plain-clothed beauty before her was extraordinary, so she stepped forward to persuade the young lady.
"That's right, I want to become an expert. If I can become an expert, I won't let Big Brother Shaofu be in danger in the future."
The young woman gritted her teeth, and then she nodded to the woman, "Senior, I'll go with you. I'll cultivate properly and become an expert in the future."
"That's the way. Follow me back and cultivate well." The woman in plain clothes spoke softly, and then her gaze descended onto the little green bird. Her gaze moved slightly, and she waved her hand slightly. A dazzling stream of runes instantly wrapped around the young woman and the little green bird. After that, the young woman's figure shot out into the sky.
"Little Tiger, send me back to Tianwu Academy. I want to find the experts of the academy to save that brat." Seeing the plain-clothed beauty and the young lady disappear from her sight, the tight-fitting lady's eyes flickered with a faint chill.
"Roar …"
The huge tiger flapped its wings and disappeared in mid-air as well.
...
In the cave, a faint golden light enveloped Du Shaofu as he sat cross-legged in the middle of the golden light. Traces of golden energy swam around his body mysteriously.
"Hu …"
A moment later, the faint golden light gradually receded. Du Shaofu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of turbid air. The aura around him retracted into his pores along with the faint golden light.
"I should be fine now."
Opening his eyes, a faint golden light lingered in his eyes. Du Shaofu checked the condition of his body. After recuperating for nearly ten days, and with the help of the Medicine King's elixirs, he had only recovered to the point of no harm. His injuries were still severe.
Du Shaofu's injuries this time were truly too severe. Even his internal organs were shaken. If it was someone else, their internal organs would have been shattered and they would have died.
"Brother Qingchun." Du Shaofu took out the small pagoda from his bosom. However, the small pagoda was silent and didn't respond. He muttered, "It should be asleep again."
After pondering for a moment, Du Shaofu kept the small pagoda and placed it close to his body. Then, he stood up and left the cave. Big Brother Zhen Qingchun had told him that he shouldn't stay here for too long.
In the dark night, the sky was dotted with twinkling stars. It was as though the Milky Way was laid out by fine sand.
As the night fell, only the canopy of the trees swayed under the night wind. Then, everything fell silent.
"Chi!"
In the dark night, a figure seemed to be carrying another figure in his hand. Like a ghost, the figure shuttled through the dense forest and then leaped onto a towering tree.
"Listen, I'm going to ask you a question. You better answer honestly. Otherwise, I don't mind taking your life."
The figure in front of him threw the thin man in his hand onto a tree branch that was as big as a praying mat. Under the mottled moonlight, one could barely see that this person was a young man wearing a purple robe.
The purple-robed young man looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. However, on his resolute face, there was a maturity that was rarely seen among his peers. This was especially true for his eyes. His gaze was like that of an eagle's, sharp and frightening.
"I will definitely tell you everything, as long as you don't kill me."
The burly man looked at the purple-robed youth and nodded. He didn't look down on the purple-robed youth at all because of his age. How could a youth who could silently kidnap him from the rest of the group be an ordinary youth?
The purple-robed young man was naturally Du Shaofu, who had just come out from the cavern. After entering the dense forest, even though he knew the general direction from the moonlight, he couldn't tell where he was. Thus, he could only ask for directions. Seeing the attitude of the burly man before him, he asked in satisfaction, "Where is this place?"
Doubt flashed across the burly man's eyes. However, he still replied honestly, "This is the Dark Forest."
"I know that it is the Dark Forest. I am asking for the exact location of this place." Du Shaofu asked.
"This place is close to Riverside Town and is quite far from Dark City. However, twenty li to the west is the territory of Tianwu Academy. Initially, we were able to secretly dig up some magnetite and spiritual herbs there. However, Tianwu Academy has been recruiting new students recently, and the examination is held in the mountain range ahead. Thus, the number of Tianwu Academy enforcers in the vicinity has increased."
At this point, the burly man looked at Du Shaofu. Looking at Du Shaofu's age, astonishment suddenly flashed across his eyes. "You … You can't be from Tianwu Academy, right? Actually, I didn't dig up that many magnetite and spiritual herbs. Previously, we were caught by your Tianwu Academy enforcers and had all of our Cosmos Bags confiscated. We learned our lesson."
"Don't worry, I'm not from Tianwu Academy." Du Shaofu looked at the burly man and replied.
"Hu …"
Hearing those words, the burly man heaved a sigh of relief. He said to Du Shaofu in embarrassment, "You scared me to death. I thought that you were from Tianwu Academy's enforcers. Those brats from the enforcers might be young, but they are extremely powerful. I thought that you were from Tianwu Academy's enforcers. To think that you chased us so fiercely that you actually chased us out of Tianwu Academy's territory."
"Actually, I'm from Tianwu Academy as well." Du Shaofu lifted his head slightly and looked at the burly man.
Upon hearing Du Shaofu's words, the burly man's face froze.
Du Shaofu smiled and said, "Relax, I'm not here to chase after you. You said that Tianwu Academy is recruiting new students recently?"
Hearing those words, the burly man relaxed a little and replied, "That's right. Tianwu Academy is recruiting new students and they have already entered the mountain range ahead to undergo the examination."
"Tell me about the examination in detail." Du Shaofu asked.
"You actually don't know about it?"
The burly man looked at Du Shaofu doubtfully before continuing, "Tianwu Academy is extremely strict when it comes to recruiting new students. Every single new student has to undergo a strict examination and they only recruit those between the ages of fifteen to eighteen. It's said that Tianwu Academy had over a hundred thousand applicants this time around. However, only three thousand will be accepted in the end. Those who wish to become a disciple of Tianwu Academy are all dragons and phoenixes among men."
"They are currently undergoing the examination in the mountain range ahead?" Du Shaofu asked. He was astonished as well. Out of a hundred thousand applicants, only three thousand would be accepted. This kind of selection was indeed extremely strict. Those who were able to enter Tianwu Academy in the end were definitely extraordinary individuals.
The burly man nodded his head and said, "The examination has been going on for quite some time now and I'm afraid that it will be over soon. The next round of recruitment will be three years later."
"How often does Tianwu Academy recruit new students?" Du Shaofu asked the burly man after hearing those words.
"Tianwu Academy only recruits new students when they are recruiting new students. They don't recruit any other time. Even nobles are no exception." The burly man replied.
"Is that so …"
Du Shaofu's gaze flickered and he said to the burly man, "Alright, you can return now. If you tell anyone about me, you have to be careful of your life. Since I was able to bring you here, it would be easier for me to take your life."
"Young master, I swear that I won't tell anyone about you. I don't know you in the first place." The burly man's body trembled and he hurriedly swore.
Sou …
Before the burly man could finish his words, the purple-robed young man had already leaped down from the tree and disappeared into the night like a specter.
