High up in the air, hundreds of meters above the ground.
The female warrior of Deer Academy jumped straight down from the Five- Colored Phoenix, landing steadily in front of Little Dot and the others.
This enchanting beauty draped in a golden armor under the sunlight resembled nothing less than a radiant Sun Goddess.
She revealed a faint smile, along with her perfect teeth, inviting Little Dot, and at the same time, presenting him a token from her academy.
It was a deer horn jade pendant, with complex engraving patterns that shone like a dancing dragon. It was made from top-quality radiant glass and had a red light swirling within it. If exposed to twilight, it could even reflect a myriad of stunning colors.
“That’s a rare deer horn token. Supposedly, with this token, anyone can directly become an Inner Sect Disciple of the academy. Even for the prodigies of influential clans, this token is exceedingly difficult to obtain, making it extremely precious!”
Murmurs broke out among the crowd, everyone was slightly surprised. However, considering Little Dot’s recent accomplishments in the Void God Realm, they admitted that him receiving a deer horn jade pendant from Deer Academy did not seem too far-fetched.
The War Goddess heard everything but remained calm. She had always intuitively felt that Little Dot’s potential was terrifying.
Despite having no inherent physical or talent advantage, he had repeatedly broken the records set by Zhong Tong Shi Yi in a manner that had left a deep mark in people’ s minds.
Something inside her told her that barring any unforeseen circumstances, this young boy would eventually become a paramount Supreme ruler to this jurisdiction.
He possessed such an extraordinary talent that he could rival those bom as divine bodies even with a mortal body. If such a prodigy were to slip through their fingers, it would constitute a tremendous loss for the academy.
Heaven Mending Pavilion and Deer Academy, although only separated by ninety thousand miles, had a friendly relationship, with the members of both academies living in harmony.
However, beneath the surface, both the leaders and the disciples of these two factions were fiercely competitive, none of them wanting to lag behind.
“Sister, did you forget? You’ve invited us too before. How come this time you only gave Little Dot a token and left us out? That jade pendant looks quite valuable!”
Tu Wa Zi gave a sheepish grin, an expression of confusion painted on his face. He distinctly remembered that this maiden had invited him and Gu Wa Zi to join Deer Academy. Had his memory become unreliable these days?
Upon hearing Tu Wa Zi’s words, the female warrior of Deer Academy couldn’t help but hold back a smile.
Throughout her journey, she had witnessed firsthand everything that had transpired, including the existence of Liu Village.
The mysterious and ancient power that the princess of an ancient country could not locate would undeniably be terrifyingly formidable.
Especially when even rare Ancient Beasts like the Three-eyed Raven and Nether King python were at their beck and call. They were even unfazed by the suppression of an Insignia Realm king of the Rain Clan on the spot, leaving the various clans too frightened to breathe.
Any of these facts were shocking enough to give anyone pause.
Who would dare to exhibit such audacity, if not backed by a formidable power?
“About this… My two younger brothers…”
The war goddess massaged her forehead, suddenly feeling a bit overwhelmed. Even though she was inclined to recruit them to the Deer Academy, these two boys were from a mysterious and ancient village. There were too many factors to ponder and she had to weigh the pros and cons carefully.
But before the War Goddess could respond, Gu Chen quietly tugged on Tu Wa
Zi’s sleeve.
“De Quan, didn’t you remember it wrong? I remember that we directly refused her at that time. You also said that since Little Dot from Stone Village was not willing to join, Deer Academy must not be a good place!” With his head tilted, Gu Chen accurately recounted the situation and conversations that had transpired at that time.
“Really? Did I say that?” Tu Wa Zi was scratching his head, having no memory of what happened.
Little Dot, on the other hand, made an expressionless face on the side. This lad from a neighbouring village was too cunning. He kept comparing everything to him, making others feel like he was the troublemaker all along. “If that’s the case, then it’s unfortunate that our academy missed this chance.” The War Goddess remembered that these two kids indeed declined her invitation instantly.
She took a deep breath, smiled faintly, her dimples showing. With her radiant elegance and aura of charm, as well as her bright, star-like eyes, anyone would think of her as a magnanimous and unworried girl at first glance.
“Miss, you’re really beautiful, much prettier than the foxtail flowers the elder plants back in our village.
The villagers all say the foxtail flowers are pretty, but I disagree. They probably think so because they have not seen you. I think Miss is much prettter than the foxtail flowers. I’d like to marry a girl like you in the future.”
Tu Wa Zi shyly scratched his head, praising with sincerity.
The first time they met in the Void God Realm, he was too preoccupied scavenging for treasures and didn’t pay attention to anything else.
This time, with his mind at ease, he began to notice the beauty of the mortal world.
The War Goddess was caught off guard by his words, and for a moment, she stood there stumped, her eyes wide.
In her seventeen or eighteen years of life, this was the first time that she had heard someone comparing a woman to a foxtail flower!
Was this flirting or insulting?
The corner of War Goddess’s eyebrows furrowed, flickering pass above Tu Wa Zi’s jovial expression, she thought it was more likely the latter.
Not merely an insult, but a serious affront to her dignity.
The War Goddess decided to ignore this mischievous boy.
His words were erratic, but each time he spoke, it was enough to get on her nerves.
“So, young boy, have you decided yet? If you have, I can take you to Deer Academy straight away without any assessments or tests!
The War Goddess looked at Little Dot and said with a smile. “I… I still want to give Heaven Mending Pavilion a try. I’m sorry, miss, answered Little Dot, feeling a smidgen embarrassed.
She had invited him over and over again, and he had rejected her again and again. If he were in her position, such constant rejection would have worn down even the best of temperaments.
“Not a problem at all. Where you choose to go is up to you. Even though I am representing Deer Academy, I respect your choice.
The doors of the Deer Academy will always be open for you, and whenever you want to join, you can come to me.”
The War Goddess waved her hand, her smile still plastered on her face, without any change in her demeanor following Little Dot1 s words.
A short while later.
After a bit more chit-chat with Little Dot, the War Goddess prepared to call her Five-Colored Phoenix for departure.
However, to her astonishment, even after quite a while, the ancient creature with extraordinary bloodline still hadn’t appeared.
