Chapter 4 Ziluo Academy

"That's the capital of Zi Luo Kingdom, which is much bigger than Shunhe City!" Qin Zhan looked at the huge city entrenched at the foot of Longshou Mountain like a giant beast in the wilderness. Even if it was six or seven miles apart, he could still feel the simplicity and magnificence of this city.

At this moment, Qin Zhan was riding in a carriage to the capital of Ziluo Kingdom, walking on the spacious and flat official road.

Because the capital is nearby, there are crisscrossing towns and manors surrounded by iron railings everywhere, and even the number of merchants coming and going, the atmosphere of prosperity is even more prosperous than at the foot of the Shengxuanzong Mountain.

"As many countries in the Eastern continent, the Purple Kingdom is not inferior to the enlightened countries. This can be seen from its capital alone."

Although Qin Zhan wanted to visit the capital of this ancient kingdom, as he got closer to the Zilu Academy in the Zilu Capital, his heart became more and more anxious, and he wanted to fly to Zilu Academy to meet his master and Lin Shan immediately, so as not to continue to worry about him.

The carriage quickly drove into the Ziluo Capital and stopped at an inn not far from Ziluo Academy.

As the highest institution of learning in the Ziluo Kingdom, Ziluo Academy is even well-known among the countries around the border. Its international status is no less than that of the Shengxuan Sect, an enlightened country. People who survive in the Ziluo capital may not know where the Ziluo Palace is, but they will definitely not know that Ziluo Academy, which supports the thousand-year-old brilliant civilization of the Ziluo Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, Qin Zhan easily asked where Ziluo Academy was located, and soon came outside Ziluo Academy and conveyed his wish to meet Tutor Chixiao to a student on the fifth floor of Qi Refining who was guarding the gate of the yard.

The student saw that Qin Zhan was only about sixteen years old and had the fifth level of Qi Refining cultivation, so he did not dare to neglect him. After introducing him to the reception room specially prepared for the guests, he quickly reported it.

Not long after the student left, a middle-aged man in his forties, led by the student immediately ran to Qin Zhan and said, "You are the disciple of Senior Zhang, Dean Chi Xiao invites you."

"Director Chixiao?"

"Haha, the teacher Chixiao you mentioned has now been promoted to vice president by the dean. I am the assistant of Dean Chixiao. The dean is very happy to hear that you are here. Please go and meet the dean."

Qin Zhan nodded and entered the dean's office under his leadership.

After entering the dean's office, the middle-aged man immediately bowed: "Director Chi Xiao, Lord Qin Zhan has brought him here, I'll deal with the traces." He said that, he retreated and brought the door with him.

"This is..." Qin Zhan was a little puzzled by this action.

However, Chi Xiao in front of him was a senior like his master after all, so he couldn't ask questions immediately, so he saluted first: "My younger brother Qin Zhan, I have seen Senior Chi Xiao."

Since Qin Zhan came in, Chi Xiao has been staring at him, carefully looking at him, as if he wanted to verify every part of him clearly to see if he was his friend whom he had been with for eight blesseds - the only disciple entrusted by Zhang Wang.

"Chiliao Director...Director...You..."

Chi Xiao took a deep breath and used this to suppress the ups and downs of his emotions in his heart. After a while, he said in a seemingly calm tone: "You are Qin Zhan. Brother Zhang Wang has already told me about your affairs. Don't worry, when I come here, I will definitely find a way not to let the people of Shengxuan Sect hurt you."

"Thank you, Senior Chi Xiao..."

"Haha, how old is your father and Zhang Wang? Just call me Uncle Shi, senior, it sounds like a lot of life."

"Yes, Uncle Shi!" Qin Zhan said this, raised his head in confusion and asked, "Uncle Shi, I didn't fall into the hopeless forest on the road. It took seven or eight months to wait. Master and Shan'er should have arrived, why didn't it..."

"The hopeless forest is a very dangerous place. Good boy, you actually came out of it. You must be exhausted these days. I will ask someone to arrange your rest. You can take a good rest for a day and restore your energy."

This tone that obviously changed the subject immediately shocked Qin Zhan, and he had a vague premonition: "Uncle Shi, have my master and Shan'er not arrived yet? Or something happened?"

Chi Xiao shook his head and sighed with guilt: "There were too many traces of Brother Zhang Wang and Lin Shan coming to me that day, which led to the people of Shengxuan Sect chasing me. But at that time, the dean went out again, so... I could only delay it for a while, so I couldn't save them, so..."

The master killed at least three members of the Nighthawk Squad. It would be strange if the Nighthawk Squad easily let go of the pursuit of the master. Although Qin Zhan was very disappointed, he nodded in understanding: "Uncle Shi, you can't blame you, you can only blame the people of Shengxuan Sect for being too strong."

Chi Xiao shook his head, his eyebrows were a little dim, but in just a moment, he recovered and said seriously: "Brother Zhang Wang has been in the cultivation world for so many years, and he has not had any other skills. The way to escape hiding is first-class. It is definitely not easy for the Nighthawk Squad to catch him. At least until now, I have not found out that Nighthawk Squad has caught Zhang Wang."

Qin Zhan nodded, and he had always had a blind confidence in his master.

At this time, Chi Xiao said again: "Your master asked me to take good care of you before leaving. You got into Shengxuan Sect, and it was inconvenient to go home. He meant that you could follow me to study at Ziluo Academy. First, you can slowly enhance your strength and break through to a higher level as soon as possible. Second, with me as a cover, it is not easy for Shengxuan Sect to chase you. Moreover, when will Zhang Wang solve the problem of Shengxuan Sect? You can find you when you come to me to find it."

Qin Zhan really has nowhere to go except his home. If he walked around, he might not be able to find him at any time. Since the master asked him to stay here, he had to nod and bow respectfully to the end: "Then disturb the uncle."

"Haha, don't bother or disturb me. Brother Zhang Wang is like a brother. You are his closed disciple, which is equivalent to my disciple." Chi Xiao said with a smile, and then pondered: "Your Qin Zhan's identity is quite sensitive. If the people of Shengxuan Sect know about it, it will be very troublesome. I'd better find you a person who is convenient for you to act and can also protect you openly..." After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily: "Have it! Qin Zhan, when outsiders ask you in the future, you will regard yourself as Yun Zhan, what about the fiancé of my daughter Chili?"

"Fiancé?" Qin Zhan waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, this will ruin Miss Chili's reputation. Please help me think about it again."

"Haha, Xiao Zhan, if you have this level of identity, it will not only be convenient for you, but if something goes wrong in the future, I can also protect you openly and give you some help." Speaking of this, Chi Xiao changed his mind again and said with a smile: "Besides, Xiaoli has been plagued by the students in the academy recently and has already reacted to me many times. Now that you appear as her fiancé, you can also help her solve a lot of trouble. This can be regarded as a small favor for me, how about it?"

"This..." Qin Zhan felt a little embarrassed.

Chi Xiao not only risked the danger of offending Shengxuan Sect to take in him, but also allowed himself to practice in Ziluo Academy. This was indeed a big help to help Chili solve those who were entangled with her. It would be a small reward.

Thinking of this, he could only nod and said, "In this way, let's nag Dean and Miss Chili."

"Haha, don't nag, don't nag," Chi Xiao said, and said again: "Since you are a family in reputation, it is not convenient for you to live in the dormitory, so you can stay in my house. In this way, if something happens, it will be convenient to take care of it."

Qin Zhan wanted to refuse, but the latter sentence "It's convenient to take care of something happens" blocked all his reasons, and he could only admit it depressedly.

...

"Sir, it's not a solution to keep it hidden!"

"Do you think that he, who is only sixteen years old, can withstand that kind of blow now? His master died and his fiancée was forced to dissolve his marriage by his family and join the hostile force?"

"This...that girl's approach at that time should be a temporary measure."

"Then you, Dean..."

"I hope Xiaoli and I can help him, at least before he learns the truth... he is Brother Zhang's only sustenance..."
