Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 - Departure

Xu Mingxi hates goodbyes, especially long goodbyes.

Canghui College is located in the Heaven Dou Empire, and I don't know when I can return after I leave.

When Xu Mingxi was twelve years old, the sect leader replaced his storage ring with a larger storage ring, which had a full ten cubic meters of space.

When Xu Ya's mother heard that Xu Mingxi was leaving tomorrow, she cooked all night and packed food into his storage ring.

Her father quietly called Xu Mingxi into the room, took out a bag of gold soul coins and handed it to him.

"You brat, this is my personal money, spend less."

Xu Mingxi really wanted to tell his father that the storage ring prepared by the sect leader already contained various soul beast meat and medicinal materials for the medicinal bath.

There are quite a few gold soul coins. You'd better save these hundreds of gold soul coins for your own expenses.

Xu Mingxi hesitated but took it anyway. After all, his father lived in Mount Xingluo and the fees weren't expensive, so he might as well take them, just in case.

The next day, Xu Mingxi packed his bags and reluctantly said goodbye to his parents. Just as she was about to go out, she saw an unexpected figure at the door.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

The person who came was Xu Mingguang's mother, Chao Yunting.

"Little Mingxi, I heard from Mingguang that you're going to Canghui College.

My family and Canghui College are in the same city, so I'm here to ask you a favor."

"Auntie, what help do you need? I'll help as much as I can."

"It's very easy. You just need to help your aunt deliver this letter to my brother. He is now the head of the Chao family."

Xu Mingxi felt very strange when he saw his aunt take out a letter from the storage ring.

Auntie, this isn't a request for me to help you, but it is a request to help me.

With the help of the local boss, I won't be isolated and helpless over there.

"Alright, Auntie, I'll definitely deliver the letter."

Xu Mingxi took the letter, waved to his aunt, and came to Xu Fangzhuo's residence.

Knock knock knock.

"Uncle Fang Zhuo, open the door, I'm here."

"Mingxi? You came so early in the morning. The sect master already told me, so let's set off now."

Xingluo Mountain was far away from Canghui College. Although Xu Fangzhuo was a Soul Emperor, he was older after all.

The two hired a horse-drawn carriage, which was convenient and fast, and also allowed Xu Mingxi to see the scenery along the way.

Xu Mingxi poked his head out of the carriage. This was his first time seeing the lives of people in different parts of the Douluo Continent.

Before, my grandfather and the second elder took me on a journey at a very fast speed, and they were flying through the air, so I couldn't see clearly.

In the Douluo Continent, everyone has a martial soul. Although they don't have soul power, it can increase their productivity.

Those with hammer souls are good at forging, and those with hoe souls are good at tilling the soil. In the absence of external factors, food and clothing would not be a problem at all.

The Xingluo Empire had a tough character since the royal family, but the people still led a relatively prosperous life.

Along the way, Xu Mingxi hadn't had the chance to show off and get slapped in the face.

It wasn't until entering the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire that Xu Mingxi began to see hungry and poorly dressed refugees.

Xu Mingxi, who lived in a peaceful era in his previous life and enjoyed a life of luxury in this life, saw such a scene for the first time.

Perhaps realizing Xu Mingxi's sadness, the experienced Xu Fangzhuo spoke up to comfort him.

"Mingxi, this is the Barracks Kingdom. Although it belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire, it's merely a vassal state. The Heaven Dou Emperor has no control over this place.

The Barak royal family is arrogant and lustful, and they're like local tyrants here.

Under various extremely high taxes, the people are naturally miserable, but this is not something we can control."

Xu Mingxi knew all of this, and he was only momentarily shocked by the scene before him.

What's more, since the Emperor of Heaven dou didn't care, the Star Crown Sect wouldn't undertake such a thankless task.

At this time, Xue Ye was still a prince, and his father was still in power.

This emperor cannot be said to be incompetent, but he is also definitely not superior. He is just a mediocre person who maintains his status.

Even if he wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Barak Kingdom, he was powerless.

Fortunately, the purpose of Xu Mingxi's trip was not to the Barak Kingdom, nor to any royal territory.

Canghui City, where Canghui College was located, was under the jurisdiction of the Tiandou Empire, but bordered the Xingluo Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Xingluo has nothing to do with the Xingluo Empire and is only a vassal state of Tiandou.   

The ruler of Canghui City and also the vanguard sent by the Tiandou Empire to monitor the Xingluo Kingdom. .

"Mingxi, we'll be here soon. I'll escort you to the Chao family first, then discuss your reception with Dean Canghui."

"Very well, thank you Uncle Fang Zhuo."

The carriage stopped in front of the crimson-colored gate. This was the location of the famous Chao family in Canghui City.

The current head of the Chao family, Chao Yunwan, was a level 69 Soul Emperor, just one step away from becoming a Soul Saint.

Xu Mingxi got off the train, and Xu Fangzhuo drove the carriage towards Canghui University.

Mingxi walked up to the gate alone and knocked on the snake-shaped door.

The door opened slowly, revealing a crack, and a maid popped her head out from behind the door.

"Hello, my name is Xu Mingxi. I'm here to deliver a letter to your home on behalf of Aunt Yunting."

"Mr. Yunting? Wait a moment, I'll inform the head of the family."

After a moment, under Xu Mingxi's gaze, the door opened completely.

Coming towards them was a large group of more than a dozen people, led by an old woman with silver hair but still a fierce aura.

When she saw Xu Mingxi's height and appearance, she was initially stunned, but she quickly reacted and invited him into her home for a chat.

When Xu Mingxi entered the lobby, the old lady waved her hand and the team instantly dispersed.

The only people left in the lobby were an old woman, a middle-aged couple, and a beautiful young woman who appeared to be in her thirties.

"Please have a seat. I'm Yunting's sister, just call me Aunt Wan.

I wonder if Yunting is doing well over there. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Xu Mingxi immediately took out his aunt's gift letter from the storage ring and handed it to the old lady opposite.

After reading the letter, the old woman smiled even more happily. Seeing Xu Mingxi opposite, she became more and more satisfied.

Ninth-level innate soul power, and a thirty-first-level soul master at the age of seventeen. What an extraordinary child.

"Kid, since you're already here, just treat this place like your own home and don't be polite.

Introduce, these two are my son and son-in-law, and the other one is my daughter, Chao Tianxiang."

"Hello, my name is Xu Mingxi."

Chao Tianxiang watched his mother pull him in front of this guest, and he knew what he was going to say again.

"Mom, you don't want to find a partner for Cai'er, right? This is inappropriate."

"What are you talking about, son? Am I such an old woman? You should take care of your own daughter's affairs."

Chao Yunwan was very surprised. She was almost worried to death about her daughter's marriage, but why had she never heard her daughter mention it before?

"Mom, I saw Cai'er with another man on campus a while ago. He seemed like an ordinary person. Maybe he will marry into our family in the future. Maybe he can even inherit the dragon-headed staff martial arts."

Geez, Chaotianxiang, the snake stick martial spirit, and the dragon head stick should be the Dragon God Meng Shu, a combination of dragon and snake.

"Tianxiang, since Cai'er already has a boyfriend, you should be on good terms with her. Don't say things that could cause misunderstandings in front of the guests."

"Mingxi, I heard you're also going to Canghui College, right? I'll let your cousin show you around."

The two greeted each other awkwardly and stopped talking. Seeing this, grandma Chao could only arrange for Xu Mingxi to stay first.

As night fell, Xu Fangzhuo returned and brought Xu Mingxi good news.

The dean approved his admission without exams, and all he needed to do was show his spirit ring.

The lights in the Chao family lobby were still on, and the four Chao family members were sitting inside.

"Tianxiang, since Cai'er already has a boyfriend, I won't force her, but you still have to take good care of your cousin. It's a pity that she may not like the younger generation of our Chao family."

Grandma Chao had some understanding of the background of the brother-in-law her sister was going to marry.

Although I don't know the specific situation, it must be much stronger than the Chao family.

Originally, she wanted to match the girl from the Chao family with Xu Mingxi, but after seeing Xu Mingxi's appearance and abilities, she had to abandon this plan.

Now make every effort to build a good relationship with Xu Mingxi, maybe you can get his help if you encounter any problems later.

Chao Yunting had the same thought when she handed the letter to Xu Mingxi.

She knew how powerful the Star Crown Sect was, so it would be beneficial if the Chao family strengthened their relationship with the Star Crown Sect.
