C288

Peng Yi wasn't the first team to return to the outpost.

Before them, more than a hundred students had already returned, but not all of them had obtained the demon crystals needed to complete their missions. Many of them had given up on their own.

These people who gave up didn't have the confidence to kill a sufficient number of demon beasts in the incomparably dangerous Hidden Fog Swamp. They chose to hide in a safe place and immediately returned to the camp after surviving the time limit.

Over the next few days, a few hundred people returned to the camp, many seriously injured and dying.

The more people returned, the stranger the atmosphere in the camp became.

Those students who had obtained ten demon crystals were elated and proud. Their mission had failed, and they were dejected and speechless. They had even been wounded to the point where they wanted to cry.

Perhaps there would be more survivors in a few days, but the Martial Pavilion's arbitration warriors would not wait. The blue battleship that was responsible for transporting the people would arrive as scheduled.

Ten days ago, five azure battleships had sent over four hundred warrior students to participate in the mission. Today, less than half of them had boarded the same ship and returned. Moreover, less than half of them had completed their mission.

It was evident how cruel the Martial Pavilion Fire Division's examination was!

The return journey was smooth. The three azure battleships didn't encounter any attacks from demon beasts. They followed the wind and arrived at the dock outside of Haoyuan City.

The students on the deck all cheered when they saw the majestic city walls far away.

Actually, they were very familiar with Haoyuan City. Normally, they wouldn't have any reaction when they saw the city walls, but when they returned from the Great Swamp and saw Haoyuan City, they felt a sense of familiarity and great sense of security.

He could finally completely relax.

"Brother Nie Feng …"

Peng Yi grinned widely and said to Nie Feng, "We'll have a good drink together at the Wild Bull together later!"

Nie Feng thought for a while and said, "I'll go back to the inn first. I'll look for you guys later."

After leaving for over ten days, he was a little worried about Nie Chen and Nie Xi, who were both staying in the inn. Therefore, he had to go back and take a look.

"Alright then …"

Peng Yi did not force him and said, "We'll wait for you. You won't leave until you're drunk!"

Nie Feng smiled and said, "I won't go back until I'm drunk!"

There were already many people standing on the dock. When they saw the warship approach the shore, they immediately gathered around, constantly shouting out different names.

These people were clearly the students' family and friends. They had come to the pier after receiving the news.

However, many of them would be disappointed, sad and even sad, because more than half of their students had already died or disappeared in the Hidden Fog Swamp. Today, they were destined to never see each other again.

When he arrived at Haoyuan City, he parted ways with the group and headed for Lakeside Inn alone.

Before Nie Feng left, the room he had rented for half a month had yet to expire.

When he knocked on the door, it was Nie Xi who opened it.

"AHH!"

Seeing that Nie Feng had returned safely, she immediately let out a surprised cry, "Young Master!"

Nie Feng smiled and said, "I'm back. Where's Nie Chen?"

With that, he walked into the room.

After not seeing her for a while, Nie Xi was no longer as frail and timid as she used to be. Not only was she much more spirited, she also became a lot bolder.

She quickly brought some tea for Nie Feng and said, "Big brother just left, he should be back soon."

"Young Master!"

Just as Nie Xi finished her sentence, a surprised shout came from outside the door. Nie Chen suddenly rushed in and threw himself in front of Nie Feng, bowing, "You're back? "Great!"

He was so happy that tears were flowing out of his eyes.

Nie Feng reached out to support him and said, "There's no need for formalities. I've already passed the Fire Department's examination. I'll be entering the Martial Pavilion to train in a few days. How's the task I've entrusted to you going?"

Before Nie Feng left, he instructed Nie Chen to rent a house near the Haoyuan Martial Pavilion. After entering the Martial Pavilion, he would definitely be staying in Haoyuan City for several years. He couldn't possibly stay in an expensive inn every day.

Although the Haoyuan Martial Pavilion had a dorm, Nie Feng did not plan to stay there. After all, he had many secrets.

Nie Chen quickly said, "Young Master, I've already found a few decent houses, and they're waiting for you to come back and decide."

"Congratulations, Young Master!"

He was naturally congratulating Nie Feng for passing the Fire Division's examination. One must know that the Fire Division of the Martial Pavilion was nurturing an Imperial Knight. As Nie Feng's servant, it was only natural that he would feel honored!

Nie Feng nodded and said, "I'll change my clothes first. I'll take a look at the house you chose later."

Under Nie Xi's care, Nie Feng took a hearty bath and then put on a set of clean clothes.

When he came out, Nie Chen took out the documents he had prepared earlier.

The contents of the document were an introduction to five houses, including the area, location, layout, rent, etc.

The five houses were all at the side of the Haoyuan Martial Pavilion, less than a quarter of an hour walk away, so it was very convenient for them to enter and leave.

Nie Chen had obviously spent a lot of time and effort on this.

Nie Feng was very satisfied with this. He carefully read through the documents one by one and selected the right house.

When he saw the last set, Nie Feng was stunned. "This house is for sale?"

Haoyuan City was the main city of Haoyuan Star. With a large population and the accumulation of resources, business was flourishing, and the property in the city was naturally expensive.

It was not excessive to say that a truly bustling area was worth every inch of land. Even though the Haoyuan Martial Pavilion was not located in the center of the city, the surrounding houses were not cheap and there was no market price.

The reason was simple. The price of housing had always been rising and no one was willing to let it go easily. Renting it out was the best choice and the rent was also not cheap.

However, this house could be rented or bought. The most important thing was that the selling price was beyond Nie Feng's expectations.
