Chapter 616: Close Friend In Foreign Land (2)

After receiving his payment of 350,000 merit points, Hu Xiansheng left with great reluctance. He couldn't bear to part with his beloved research center. With the purchase of this research center, Su Yu was left with around 20,000 merit points and 70,000 contribution points. It felt like he was spending money as fast as he was earning money. In the blink of an eye, 350,000 merit points were gone.

Huang Feng appeared rather indifferent. Before she left, she said, "There's nothing to do today since it's the first day of the semester. Tomorrow, go to the Education District and participate in the general assembly. Get to know your fellow students and teachers. The academy will also start assigning missions to those interested. You can consider accepting some of these missions for rewards."

"Noted. Thank you, Teacher Huang."

"You're too polite." Huang Feng said, "It's a good thing that you bought the research center from the faculty head. Without you, the faculty head will ruin himself with this research. Without his research center, he can finally give up and shift his focus to cultivation. If he remains stuck in the Mountainsea Realm, he will probably die from old age soon."

Su Yu nodded and said, "Is there a Sunmoon in Great Ming's multiple character faction?"

"Nope." Huang Feng said, "Great Xia has the strongest character faction. After all, that is the origin of the multiple character faction. Even our faculty head used to be a student under Great Xia's first principal."

If even the multiple character faction of Great Xia was already this weak, there was no need to mention the multiple character faction of the other prefectures.

Huang Feng said, "I know that you feel very strongly about the struggle between the single and multiple character factions since you're from Great Xia. But I still hope that you can adjust your mindset and not provoke the single character faction here. It's pointless. They will leave you alone as long as you don't provoke them. Also, it doesn't matter if you intend to return one day and take your revenge or not. For now, you should prioritize on your studies and your cultivation. Your own ability is the only thing you can truly rely on." Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Su Yu said, "You're right. I know what's important."

Huang Feng nodded and turned around to leave. At the door, she recalled something and turned around. "By the way, Great Ming is too calm but some students also wish to see this change. If you start recruiting, you might be able to gain some followers. But...I hope you think of their future before accepting them. Great Ming might not be a perfect place, but they have all been living well in Great Ming. We know this is not sustainable, but we also hope to extend this peace."

Su Yu solemnly promised, "Don't worry, Teacher. I know what to do."

Huang Feng smiled and said, "Work hard. If you need anything, feel free to look for me."

***

After Huang Feng left, Su Yu sat down on the stone bench. Listening to the sounds of running water around him and looking at the blue sky above him, he smiled. This was a good place. With a wave of his hand, the water elemental and the shadow appeared.

Su Yu said, "Check the place and see if there is anything unwanted here. This place...will be our home base from now on."

Meanwhile, the little furball was still having fun with a few rabbits.

Su Yu said, "I will bring the suanni and the mountaindrill bull over later. They can probably serve as the guards even if they're quite weak."

The shadow asked, "Lord, are we returning to Great Xia?"

Su Yu sank into silence. Both the water elemental and the shadow sank into silence as well.

After a long while, Su Yu said, "You don't need to worry about that. I won't need you after I reach the Mountainsea Realm. At that time, I will send you to the Allheaven Battlefield. I will fulfill my promise to you."

"That was not what I meant, Lord!"

Su Yu said, "Don't bother explaining. Everyone wants to go home. No place is better than home. All of you were caught by my grandteacher due to your crimes against the human race, but you have already atoned for them through so many years of imprisonment. It doesn't matter if you're holding a grudge for your imprisonment. I will release you after I reach the Mountainsea Realm. None of us will owe each other anything after that."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Su Yu smiled and said nothing else.

At the same time.

Outside Tiandu.

With a smile, Wu Qi said, "I'm surprised that Prince Hongwen still remembers me. We met once eight years ago. My apologies for disturbing you today."

"Not at all—"

Before he could finish his words, Wu Qi went straight to the point, "I'm here escorting my younger sister. That foolish girl insisted on transferring to Great Ming Cultural Research Academy. She doesn't know how dangerous the outside world is. She thinks that the world is as peaceful as her home. I'm here to ask you a favor."

"Your younger sister is transferring to Great Ming Cultural Research Academy?"

Zhu Hongwen was astonished. What?

With a troubled expression, Wu Qi said, "Yes. She refused to listen to us so we have no choice but to let her be. She really thinks that she's a genius researcher. She fully believes that she was the creator of the Acupoint Fusion Art. After Su Yu's departure, she decided to follow him over and recreate the Source Soul Research Center."

Zhu Hongwen asked in astonishment, "Your sister and Su Yu..."

Wu Qi's face turned unsightly as she said, "They are regular schoolmates. My younger sister is too innocent. She was fooled by that damn Su Yu!"

What a bastard! Prior to leaving, he had given her sister a cultural art with 72 apertures. He claimed that each aperture was a payment for five questions answered. Thus, he gave enough to get the answers to over three hundred questions.

Not long after that, he left without a second thought. But Wu Lan was a stubborn person. The moment she thought about the fact that she still owed Su Yu over three hundred answers, she decided to head to Great Ming. Without her, how was Su Yu supposed to proceed with his research? Wu Qi was infuriated when she learned about that.

Zhu Hongwen had an odd look in his eyes. The Wu Family...sure was generous. Wu Qi's younger sister had actually followed Su Yu into Great Ming? Was she so eager to be with Su Yu?

Despite his thoughts, he smiled and said, "I understand. Don't worry. Since your sister is here, she's our guest. I will make my arrangements. Nobody can mistreat her here."

The Wu Family was a top-tier family with a Sunmoon, Mountainseas, and a genius like Wu Qi.

Numerous thoughts appeared in Zhu Hongwen's mind. What if he could trick the entire Wu Family into joining Great Ming? Would Great Xia be so infuriated that they directly attack Great Ming? He was really tempted, but he did not dare to try it.

Of course, it would be fine if the Wu Family decided to come by themselves. Wu Qi...was a super genius.

Just imagine getting her as his wife...Zhu Hongwen erased the thought the moment it appeared. He had heard that this was a ferocious woman who would kill without hesitation. During her famous fight against the devil genius, it was said that she had killed that devil by biting off the throat of that devil. She was a savage.

Thus, the mere thought of having her as his wife caused Zhu Hongwen to shiver. He didn't even dare to think about it lest she cut him down after somehow learning about his thoughts.

Wu Qi smiled and said, "Thank you. About a year later, the Luminous Domain Mansion will reopen. At the time, I'll be more than happy to help if you need anything."

"I'm glad to hear that. Thank you!"

With the assistance of the ferocious Wu Qi, their safety in the Luminous Domain Mansion would be assured.

Wu Qi responded with a smile. When she turned to look at the distant Great Ming Cultural Research Academy, her face turned unsightly again.

Su Yu! Just you wait!

She would teach him a lesson if he dared to enter the Luminous Domain Mansion after a year. She had known that Su Yu wasn't a good person. He was basically the same as Liu Hong! And that damn bastard had indeed tricked her little sister, causing her sister to travel all the way from Great Xia to Great Ming!

Which genius would be willing to leave their homeland and come to a place like Great Ming unless absolutely necessary?

"Damn it!"

Wu Qi was furious. That damn shameless kid had been seducing her little sister with his damn lies! He was the same as his Teacher Liu, someone who had seduced her beloved grandaunt with his endless lies!
