290 Honorary Elder

Jiang Yi resided in the Fairy Peak which was situated in the depths of Mt. Thirty Thousand. He would accompany the little fox for a few hours every day and spend the rest of the day cultivating in the sky platform.

The little fox would constantly provide Jiang Yi with various types of spirit fruits, making Jiang Yi eat all of them. Jiang Yi didn't know what kind of benefits would the spirit fruits provide and just treated it as a meal.

The Demon Empress didn't lie to him. After eating these spirit fruits, Jiang Yi didn't feel any hunger at all and could even feel his muscles constantly growing stronger while his essence force was gradually increasing, too.

The Demon Empress had really gone in seclusion and didn't appear again. The little fox seemed to have gotten used to the days without the Demon Empress and didn't found it strange either. It would bring Jiang Yi to randomly roam around the Fairy Peak, listening to Jiang Yi talk about the interesting things humans had and stories when he was younger.

When Jiang Yi cultivated, she would be sleeping away on the sky platform, and Jiang Yi didn't see her cultivating either. She would just eat the spirit fruits, and every time, she would consume over a dozen of it, making Jiang Yi amazed of her appetite.

After Jiang Yi refined the messaging jade talisman, he told Zhuge Qingyun that the Demon Empress asked him to stay and cultivate for a period of time; but he didn't say anything else. Zhuge Qingyun told Jiang Yi to cultivate with an ease of mind, and he didn't have to worry about Xiaonu and the others.

Time flew quickly, and two months passed in a blink of the eye.

Apart from accompanying the little fox, Jiang Yi would be cultivating or sleeping. The little fox was gradually growing attached to Jiang Yi and solemnly treated him like her own elder brother. Jiang Yi was the first human she knew and also her first friend who truly treated her well. She was only eleven years old and was pure like a blank piece of paper. Jiang Yi treated her well; thus, she treated him even better.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

The Emperor Palace's sky platform had heaven and earth energy which was denser by several dozen folds, allowing Jiang Yi's cultivation to soar quickly. During these two months, he had been trying to research on the nine star spheres in his dantian but gained nothing. He merely knew that the first star sphere was finally about to fill up, but he didn't know what kind of changes would happen once it was full?

"Cultivate, cultivate!"

Using his inner vision again, Jiang Yi didn't bother about it anymore. He took a glance at the little fox which was sleeping soundly by the side and closed his eyes while he prepared to continue cultivating.

"Buzz!"

Right at this moment, the green jade talisman suddenly glowed up. He was startled as he quickly took it out and poured in his essence force, immersing his mind in and checking it.

This jade talisman was a fixed-point messaging jade talisman. He was only able to send and receive messages from Zhuge Qingyun.

The message was simple: some people were looking for Jiang Yi, and it was Jiang Yi old friends, the Skyplume City's Martial Arts Hall Master and Manager Yang. They had something that made them look for Jiang Yi. Zhuge Qingyun asked Jiang Yi if he wanted to meet with them. If Jiang Yi didn't want to, he would just casually find an excuse to send them off.

"Martial Arts Hall Master and Manager Yang?"

Jiang Yi frowned and was in a difficult position. Why would the two of them look for him? He could refuse to meet with the Martial Arts Hall Master, but Manager Yang had done him a favor and took care of him back then. If he didn't go meet him, it wouldn't be appropriate, right?

"I shall go for a trip."

Jiang Yi had made his decision. He didn't see Xiaonu, Jiang Yunhai, and Qian Wanguan for two months; and they were missing him. Since the Demon King could fetch him here, he would just need a few days time.

"Ji-Ji!"

The little fox seemingly sensed something and opened its eyes while in a daze. When Jiang Yi said he was going out for a trip, her eyes instantly lit up while sending a message: "Great, great. I will follow Big Brother out, too. This mountain is too boring… Xiao Fei wants to go out and play with you."

"You want to go, too?"

Jiang Yi was placed in another difficult position. Zhuge Qingyun was around in Mt. Spirit Beast College so it should be very safe over there. Furthermore, after the chaos created by the Demon Empress, no one would dare to risk it again, right? However, Jiang Yi was still worried as he shook his head and said, "Xiao Fei, I cannot bring you out. Otherwise, your Empress Mother will surely blame me."

"It is not a problem, you know?"

The little fox wagged its tail and sent a message with a tone like it didn't mind about it. "Empress Mother said that it is fine as long as it is within Mt. Thirty Thousand and if I bring along Xiao Hong and Xiao Hei. Aren't you just going back to that college? We are not out of the mountain's boundary yet."

"Alright then!"

Jiang Yi nodded. If the two Demon Kings were to come along, it would ensure the little fox's safety. Unless it was the top ten martial experts of the continent, no one could capture the little fox.

"Ji-Ji!"

When Jiang Yi agreed, the little fox was instantly beaming with happiness as it brought Jiang Yi outside with delight. It walked over to the edge of the cliff and shouted downwards while the two Demon Kings flew up swiftly. The blood red demonic beast spoke with a muffled voice, "Little princess, do you have any instructions for us?"

"Ji-Ji!"

The little fox called out twice while the blood red Demon King stared at Jiang Yi and spoke reluctantly, "Come up then. This King shall bring you out."

With the Demon King carrying them and making haste, not only was it fast—but it was extremely safe, too. None of the demonic beasts dared to interrupt them.

It took just a few days for Jiang Yi to arrive at Mt. Black Clouds. Jiang Yi made the two Demon Kings stop at Mt. Black Clouds to avoid causing a disturbance in the college. Just as he wanted to say something to the little fox, it suddenly squeezed into his sleeve unexpectedly and sent a message. "Big Brother, bring me in to play, okay? I promise, I will not come out, and I will not make a sound. Xiao Fei will be very obedient!"

Jiang Yi helplessly looked at the two Demon Kings. The blood red Demon King muttered for a moment before it spoke, "As long as you don't leave the college, and as long as that Vajra Realm martial expert in the college doesn't touch the little princess, no one will be able to hurt her with us around. Of course… if something is to happen, you can bring your head to go see the Emperor."

"En."

Jiang Yi didn't feel that was any problem as the college was safer than any place. He carried the little fox and took large steps towards the college and quickly ascended. After he entered the college, he immediately headed towards his own courtyard.

"Young Master!"

"Young Lord!"

Jiang Xiaonu and Jiang Yunhai were around, but Qian Wanguan wasn't. When the two of them saw Jiang Yi, they were instantly grinning from ear to ear while Jiang Yi nodded with a smile. He didn't say much and patted on the little fox in his sleeve and whispered, "Xiao Fei, come out and play. You stay within this courtyard and don't run around. I have some things to attend to and will be back soon. Xiaonu, find something nice to eat for Xiao Fei."

"Oh! Such a pretty little fox." Xiaonu's eyes lit up as she extended her arms to carry the little fox. Xiao Fei wasn't afraid of strangers either as it obediently followed Xiaonu into the room.

Jiang Yi spoke for a moment with Jiang Yunhai before he went out and saw a mentor who had been waiting for him. When the mentor saw Jiang Yi, he quickly said, "Jiang Yi, go over to Vice Principal Tie's place. The two guests are waiting there for you."

"Vice Principal Tie?"

Jiang Yi asked with some doubt, "Didn't the college forbid any outsiders?"

The Martial Arts Hall Master was only at the peak stage of Purple Mansion Realm, and Manager Yang was even weaker. They were just minor figures of the Martial Arts Hall and actually received such great treatment? Jiang Yi was naturally astonished by this.

The mentor began to explain: "Ordinary people are indeed forbidden. The two of them had the token from the Martial Arts Chief Hall Master; thus, they were naturally given preferential treatment. The Martial Arts Chief Hall Master is ranked no.4 among the top ten martial experts."

"Oh!"

Jiang Yi quickly followed this mentor into a Vice Principal's courtyard and saw the Skyplume City's Martial Arts Hall Master and Manager Yang.

Vice Principal Tie was in seclusion, and this mentor knew well enough that he had to dismiss himself. After exchanging some conventional greetings, the Martial Arts Hall Master smiled and took out a document, explaining his purpose for coming here: "Jiang Yi, I am representing the Martial Arts Chief Hall to recruit you. The Chief Hall Master admires you and has decided to bestow you the position of Honorary Elder. You don't have to be in a haste to refuse it first… finish hearing what I have to say. This Honorary Elder doesn't have to do anything and is just in name. No one in the Martial Arts Hall can order you, but you can utilize many of the Martial Arts Hall resources. You can redeem a piece of celestial stone every year as your salary. I hope you can see on the sake of our ties in the past and not refuse it."

"Yet another gift?"

Jiang Yi's sharp brows lifted and felt some insecurity. This Martial Arts Hall was just like the Azure Dragon Empire in the beginning, who was hiding their evil intentions and offering gifts without asking for anything in return.

There was no such thing as free lunch in this world, and heaven wouldn't just offer someone a meat pie either. Jiang Yi murmured to himself and quickly replied, "Let me consider this for a moment, and is it okay if I give you an answer in one day?"
