Chapter 164: Gu Xun'er's Late Night Thoughts at Jia Nan Academy
On a quiet, deep night, a miserable scream echoed from a certain Guardian Elder's palace…
Not a single guard was stationed outside.
They had all disappeared long gone.
Because that was not a sound they could afford to hear…
Hearing it meant death.
A few days later…
Wu Tian finally left the Snake Tribe.
After properly "arranging" Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, he spread his wings and flew away.
Down below, in the royal city, several women watched as his figure vanished into the sky.
"Hmph! That tyrannical bastard just left without saying a word!"
Xiao Yi Xian bit her lip, her eyes filled with grievance.
Qing Lin stood beside her, tears glistening in her big, bright eyes.
"Xiao Yi Xian jiejie, do you think Wu Tian gege will come back soon?" she whispered.
Xiao Yi Xian nodded firmly.
"Of course! Qing Lin meimei is so pretty there's no way that tyrant would be willing to stay away for too long!"
Qing Lin's mood lifted, and she giggled.
"Hehe~ but it's actually because he can't bear to leave you, Xiao Yi Xian jiejie!"
"Last night, you were talking in your sleep~!"
"Talking in my sleep?!"
Xiao Yi Xian's face turned red as she quickly looked away.
"I I did no such thing!"
"Hehehe~"
"Qing Lin, you little troublemaker! How dare you tease me?!"
"Watch me help that tyrant make you grow up faster!"
"Ahh~ Nooo!"
Not far away, Yue Mei and Hua She'er watched the two bickering playfully, exchanging knowing smiles.
Heh…
The Guardian Elder coming back soon?
Impossible.
Last time, he was gone for months, leaving them alone in the empty palace.
And this time, he was leaving the entire Jia Ma Empire.
It would take him even longer.
But…
They chose to keep this truth to themselves.
If they told those two girls, they would definitely cry.
Inside a private chamber…
Xiao Yi Xian's gaze turned serious.
"Qing Lin meimei, can you do me a favor?"
Qing Lin nodded immediately.
"Of course, jiejie! I'd do anything for you!"
Xiao Yi Xian's eyes flashed with determination.
"I want to go to the Chu Yun Empire…"
"WHAT?!"
As for their little secret…
Wu Tian had no idea.
He was already far away, heading toward his next destination at full speed.
He didn't use Void Steps it consumed too much Dou Qi and would terrify anyone who saw him.
Jia Nan Academy.
A prestigious ancient institution standing strong on the continent for centuries.
Many of the peak powerhouses who had emerged from this academy had become legendary figures, shaking the world with their names.
The true terror of Jia Nan Academy wasn't just its faculty strength
But rather, the countless elite experts who had once studied there.
If the academy ever faced destruction and summoned back all its former students
The sheer force gathered would be unimaginable.
Of course…
Whether or not they'd even come back was another story.
Like in the original story
When the Fallen Heart Flame was about to erupt…
Not a single former student came.
When the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Tomb triggered a massive war…
Still, no one showed up.
Heh…
But that's the future's problem.
For now, Jia Nan Academy remained unrivaled, its prestige unshaken.
Among the countless institutions across the continent, none could surpass its ancient renown.
To be admitted into this academy was an honor.
But its harsh admission standards left many hopeless.
Atop a lush, misty mountain peak behind Jia Nan Academy, a beautiful girl stood gracefully.
She was dressed in a light blue dress, her delicate waist accentuated by a purple belt.
The way it hugged her curves made her incredibly enticing.
She faced the sea of white mist, her silky black hair cascading like a waterfall, reaching her slender waist.
Standing there, enveloped by the morning fog, she resembled a blooming azure lotus, untouched by the world's impurities.
Her beauty was otherworldly.
As if she had been nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth itself.
She was so breathtaking that merely looking at her could make people dizzy.
"Wu Tian gege…"
Her voice was soft as she gazed into the distance.
"Xun'er is waiting for you at Jia Nan Academy… Please hurry and come find me."
"I miss you… and I want to be with you at night…"
"Dingling…"
A soft chime suddenly broke the silence.
A pair of tiny green bells jingled on her delicate wrist, fastened to her storage ring.
The shadows behind her rippled slightly.
A figure emerged.
An elderly man bowed respectfully.
"Miss."
His voice was gentle.
This old man was Ling Ying.
The miserable man who had no time to relax, no time to enjoy life, no music, no dancing
All because he was stuck as a bodyguard.
He had tasted the good life before.
And now?
It was all gone.
Just like his freedom.
For both him and his lady, every day felt like a year.
Except
His lady was longing for Wu Tian at night.
And he?
He was just waiting for Wu Tian to finally get with her…
So he could finally retire.
"I've been a bodyguard for half my life!" he often complained.
"Can't I just enjoy myself for once?"
Xun'er turned around gracefully, her delicate face radiating a gentle, breathtaking beauty.
Her smile could make flowers wither in envy.
Even the colors of the forest seemed to fade around her, as if all beauty had gathered onto her alone.
"Ling Ying, you're finally back."
Her soft voice carried a hint of relief.
Ling Ying smiled.
"Hehe~ Miss, since you gave me a task, of course, I had to complete it as quickly as possible."
"If I failed and ran back empty handed, wouldn't you just scold me to death?"
Xun'er chuckled softly.
But her thoughts drifted to the boy she missed every single day.
Her usual calm, gentle tone softened further.
She glanced at Ling Ying, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Her beauty reached a new level, enough to drive the entire Jia Nan Academy mad.
"Ling Ying, you're being naughty again," she murmured.
Her voice was softer than ever.
"As if I don't know exactly what you're thinking."
"If he hurries up and comes, I'll finally give you a vacation."
Ling Ying's expression brightened.
"Miss, you mean Wu Tian, don't you?"
Of course, he already knew the answer.
But he still asked anyway just to see how flustered she'd get.
As expected
Xun'er's delicate face turned even redder.
Ling Ying burst into laughter.
The calm, refined Miss Xun'er could only be turned into a flustered, lovestruck girl by one person
The outrageously powerful Wu Tian.
