Next to her, a young man waved a stack of papers in his hand and said with a smile, "Lilia, the new newspapers have arrived. Do you want to read them together?"
Newspapers were also something that the second prince had recently started. Currently, they were only sold in the capital cities of the eight major provinces. Due to the scarcity of newspapers, they were only available to the upper echelons of the nobility for the time being. Anyone who could get their hands on one would be able to use it to show off.
However, Lilia did not even look at the young man as she continued to wield the sword in her hand and cultivate.
That young man did not think much of it. He continued to circle around Lilia and said, "These newspapers are all about the major events that have happened in the Empire. It's said that the Second Prince has used his great skill of Thoughts Across Ten Thousand Li to be able to transmit news quickly. Even if something were to happen in the Southern Flame Region, we would be able to know immediately."
Hearing the young man's words, Lilia exhaled, put down the big sword in her hand, and said, "Carter, I'm not interested in you. Stop pestering me."
This youth by the name of Carter was also a Knight apprentice of a 5-star aristocratic school. He was also the most outstanding Knight apprentice in recent years. He had always been the king of popularity among the students.
However, after Lilia arrived, he realized that Lilia was very different from the aristocratic ladies he knew in the past. He immediately became interested in Lilia.
Hearing Lilia say this, Kite was not angry. He only smiled and said, "Lilia, I'll be participating in the Prefectural Selection next year and becoming a Knight. You also know that I could have become a Knight a long time ago. It's just that I wanted to accumulate my strength to fight for the Prefectural Champion, which is why I delayed it until this year. "
Lilia shook her head. Seeing that it was already late, she walked towards the school gate.
Ever since Fang Xingjian had entered the Regional Academy, she had gotten her father to arrange for him to stay in this school in the Great Western Region. She had even rented a room outside the school.
Of course, Kite did not know so much. It was impossible for Lilia to directly tell him about her background, identity, and interpersonal relationships.
Therefore, in Kite's eyes, Lilia was just a noble girl from a remote area, a rare woman.
Seeing that Lilia had left, Kite chased after her and said, "Are you going home, Lilia? I'll send you back. The security in the Great Western Region hasn't been very good recently. "
Seeing that Lilia was still ignoring him, Kite grinned and picked up the newspaper to read, "Oh? The Western Garrison Army chased after the people of Garcia and I heard that they fought all the way to their own territory. Hehe, to think that these Black Devils of Garcia would dare to come to the Empire and behave atrociously. What a bunch of fools. "
"Oh? "The Northern Ice Region's Rehlings has come out from seclusion. He said that he will completely crush all the other contestants in next year's National Selection, using overwhelming power to become the National Champion." Kite said, "This Rehlings is amazing. He's said to be the number one genius in the Northern Ice Region in the past 200 years, having been at second transition level 29 for over ten years. It's said that even the Northern Ice Region's Governor isn't a match for him. "Tsk tsk, if it wasn't because the conditions given to him by the Northern Ice Region are too good, he would have gone to the central a long time ago. However, the rewards for the National Selection this time around are too good, and Rehlings is unable to reject them."
Although Lilia did not have any feelings for Kite, she was quite curious about the contents of the newspaper when she heard him talking about the major events in the world.
Kite stole a glance at Lilia and realized that Lilia was really listening. This time, he put in even more effort in reading.
"The famous sword of the southeast, Sasa, has come, and he still wants to be a teacher in the Regional Academy?" Kite's eyes lit up, and he said, "Sasa has the title of Sword Saint in the Eastern Sand Region. To think that he has come to our Regional Academy as well? "It'd be great if he could give me some guidance in sword arts in the future."
As the two of them walked, Lilia did not say a single word. As Kite spoke, he gradually came to a stop. After all, he was still young and did not have much patience. He could not help but ask, "Lilia, what do I have to do for you to be willing to talk to me? Am I so detestable?"
Lilia looked behind Kite, and when Kite saw her gaze, he could not help but turn around as well. He saw a bookseller pushing a cart and calling out his wares.
"The unrivalled genius Fang Xingjian cleared all seven levels of the Pantheon Monument in the Regional Selection, cleared four stages in the Killing Techniques Palace in a single day! "Fang Xingjian's Sword Learning Secret Manual! Those who want it, come buy a copy! Don't miss this chance! If you miss out on Fang Xingjian's book on the secrets to becoming stronger, you'll regret it for the rest of your life! "
The peddler called out loudly, and many students were queuing up to buy the book.
Kite frowned, "This Fang Xingjian is too arrogant. He's publishing a book just like that? What unrivalled genius? Be careful not to become a laughing stock in the other regions. "
As a top student in his school, he instinctively despised other geniuses who were around the same age as him. He was also seventeen years old, the same age as Fang Xingjian. This made him hate Fang Xingjian even more.
However, Lilia smiled and said, "Then as long as you can clear all seven levels of the Pantheon Monument and clear the Killing Techniques Palace in a single day, I'll talk to you. "To tell you the truth, the partner I want to find in the future is a genius like Fang Xingjian."
Hearing Lilia's words, Kite was stunned. Regardless of whether it was the seven levels of the Pantheon Monument or the fact that he had cleared the Killing Techniques Palace within a day, these were both extremely heavy achievements. Even many level 29 Conferred Knights would not dare to think of such achievements, let alone Kite.
It was possible for Kite to criticize Fang Xingjian, but it would be extremely difficult for him to do the same as Fang Xingjian.
Kite was speechless and could only watch as Lilia happily ran off to buy books from the peddler.
Kite let out a cold snort, crushed the newspaper in his hand, and went home angrily.
His house was also located in the aristocratic district in the center of the Great Western City. The moment he entered the hall, he saw that his mother was already there waiting for him. When she saw him, she waved her hand and said, "Kite, come and meet your aunt and uncle. They've come all the way from Harvest City."
"Aiya, this must be Kite? He's so handsome. "
"What's the use of looks?" Kite's mother grinned and said, "Who still looks at looks nowadays?"
Kite smiled and stood at the side, as if he was a statue waiting to be evaluated. He had long since gotten used to such conversations.
"That depends on one's abilities as well. Your Kite already has the ability to become a Knight, right? When will he be participating in the Prefectural Selection? "
"Next year." Every time this matter was brought up, Kite and his mother would have a hint of pride on their faces. "This child could have passed the Prefectural Selection long ago. We were just worried that he was too young and did not know how to control himself. That's why we trained him for a few more years."
"Your Kite is really outstanding, unlike that son of mine who only knows how to fool around all day. I'll get him to come over and learn from Kite some time."
Kite appeared to be impatient, but in fact, every time he was praised by the elders, he could not help but feel a little proud.
However, at the next moment, his aunt suddenly took out a book and said, "Oh, right. This is a book I bought on my way here. It's said to be Fang Xingjian's biography, and it even has his sword arts secrets. You know of Fang Xingjian, right?"
