The reason why Zuo Yi could recognize Alice at a glance was that she had used her real appearance in the network.
She was very recognizable. Her delicate and cute skin was brighter than snow. She wore a blue and white dress that exuded a strong sense of youth. She was energetic and cute, like a character who had walked out of a cartoon. She attracted the attention of the tourists around her.
When Alice walked out of the passenger passage, Zuo Yi, who was standing in the welcoming crowd, waved at her.
Alice immediately sensed it keenly. She turned around and revealed a bright and happy smile.
She dragged her suitcase and ran over quickly. She couldn't wait to bow and said, "Hello, teacher!"
Zuo Yi nodded and said to her, "Hello, let me introduce you. This is Gu Yunxi."
Alice straightened up and looked at Gu Yunxi. She bowed politely again and greeted, "Hello, teacher's wife!"
Zuo Yi and Gu Yunxi looked at each other and smiled.
Although it was the first time they met, the two of them had a good impression of this little girl from Gaul.
Gu Yunxi helped her take the suitcase and asked, "Alice, did you fly here alone?"
"Uncle came with me."
Alice smiled sweetly, "This is my uncle!"
She introduced a middle-aged man behind her to Zuo Yi and Gu Yunxi. He looked like he was in his forties. He was not tall and thin. He wore a dark gray suit and had an ordinary appearance.
"Mr. Zuo Yi …"
The middle-aged man took the initiative to reach out his hand to Zuo Yi, "I am Weston Ryan. Nice to meet you."
Zuo Yi's eyes flashed and shook hands with him, "Hello."
Gu Yunxi said, "Let's get in the car first."
There were too many people here and it was inconvenient to talk. So, everyone got into the Grand Cherokee that was parked in the waiting area.
Zuo Yi drove the three of them out of the airport and went to the hotel that they had booked.
He had already told the Jiangnan Tianqi Academy that they would handle the admission procedures for Alice tomorrow.
The living environment in the Heavenly Edict Academy was top-notch, and the living conditions in the dormitory were excellent in all aspects. Arranging for her to live on campus was the most suitable choice at the moment.
As for nationality, it wasn't a problem at all. Although the Jiangnan Heavenly Revelation Academy didn't recruit foreign students, Zuo Yi, as the honorary chief instructor of the academy, had a recommendation quota.
When they reached the hotel room, Zuo Yi said to Alice, "Stay here tonight. I'll take you to the Apocalypse Academy tomorrow."
The little girl was very obedient. "Thank you, teacher."
Zuo Yi gestured to Gu Yun Xi to help her settle down. Then, he said to Weston, "Mr. Ryan, let's have a chat."
Weston Ryan nodded. "Of course."
The two of them came to the balcony together.
Zuo Yi had booked a luxurious suite. There was a large balcony outside the living room that overlooked the beautiful night view of West Lake.
Weston Ryan said, "It's a beautiful city."
Zuo Yi couldn't help but smile. "Mr. Ryan, I haven't thanked you for the USB drive you gave me last time. It helped me a lot."
Weston Ryan was momentarily stunned.
After three seconds, he took a deep breath and asked, "How did you know?"
He thought that he hid it very well. He didn't leak any of his power and suppressed his extraordinary waves to an almost ordinary level.
However, he didn't hide it from Zuo Yi at all.
Zuo Yi said lightly, "My perception is very high."
Weston Ryan was The Fool of the Tarot Club. He was the leader of this mysterious organization with a thousand-year history!
Although this Weston Ryan was very different from The Fool that Zuo Yi had seen before, whether it was in body shape or appearance, and he hid his power very well, he still couldn't hide it from Zuo Yi's super perception.
This was the difference brought about by the rank. Unless Weston Ryan's power reached Zuo Yi's level, it would be futile no matter how he disguised himself.
"Worthy of being the strongest Alpha in Bluestar."
Weston Ryan, or more accurately, The Fool, sighed. "I'm convinced."
His admiration came from the bottom of his heart.
As the leader of the Tarot Club, The Fool was an Alpha. Although he wasn't one of the seven heroes, he had strong confidence and pride. He never thought that he would lose to anyone.
However, the feeling that Zuo Yi gave him was that of looking up at a tall mountain and feeling that he was inferior!
Zuo Yi smiled and changed the topic. "What's the matter with Alice?"
"Alice …"
The Fool hesitated for a moment and said, "She's the daughter of my best friend."
Alice's parents were once close friends of The Fool and important members of the Tarot Club. Unfortunately, both of them died in a mission, leaving Alice, who was only three years old at the time.
The Fool took over the responsibility of raising her, and it had been ten years since then.
Alice had shown extraordinary talent since she was young. When she was six years old, she awakened as an Extraordinary. She also had the dual talents of strengthening and mind.
Under The Fool's guidance, Alice was now a double C-level Extraordinary. Her strength was comparable to a B-level Extraordinary.
As he talked about Alice's past, the Alpha of the Tarot Club showed a hint of sadness and a hint of pride.
He obviously regarded Alice as his own child.
Zuo Yi took out a box of cigarettes from his space ring and opened it. He handed one to the Fool.
The Fool didn't refuse. He took it and touched it gently with his finger. The cigarette was lit instantly.
He took a deep drag and looked at the West Lake in the distance. "I've been hiding her true identity from Alice. I don't want her to know that her parents died in the hands of the enemy. I hope you can understand."
"She shouldn't live in hatred."
Zuo Yi nodded. "I understand. Is it the Truth Council?"
"It's not just the Truth Council."
The Fool took a deep drag, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. "The Tarot Club has many powerful enemies. We can see some of them, but some are too hidden. Even within the Tarot Club …"
He shook his head and didn't continue.
After a while, The Fool continued, "Yesterday, Alice said she was coming to Da Xia. I thought she was deceived. I'm relieved to know that you want to take her as a student."
"In this world, if there's one person who can guarantee Alice's absolute safety, it's definitely you."
He pinched out the cigarette and bowed to Zuo Yi. "I'll leave Alice in your care from now on, Your Excellency!"
"Don't worry."
Zuo Yi said, "I've promised someone. I'll take good care of her."
The Fool was obviously stunned.
However, he didn't ask Zuo Yi who "someone" was. Instead, he took a step back and bowed again. "Thank you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, The Fool jumped out of the balcony. The cloak on his body spread out like a pair of wings and carried him into the distance.
"Your Excellency Zuo Yi, we'll meet again."
