Chapter 302: 52. The Academy’s Direct Disciple! Arrives at Changning Guard_3
Naturally, they went to undertake their responsibilities and tasks.
Changchun Ascendant has five direct disciples, yet only Senior Sister Lvwei stays by his side. Clearly, they all have their own destinations.
This world is vast, and Changning Guard is merely a small corner. There are many things they still don’t know.
"I see," Gongsun Yan, a steady and intelligent young man, instantly understood. "But even so, I still deeply envy them."
Since childhood, he had an unreliable father, and in such helpless circumstances, he could only mature on his own.
But which teenager doesn’t have the desire to explore the world and satisfy their curiosity?
The world is so big that everyone wants to see it.
However, once one becomes the clan leader, they must shoulder the entire family’s future. The core of future life also becomes the family, and the opportunity to roam freely is no longer available.
This is what Wang Shouzhe meant when he said they’re not walking the same path.
The other patriarchs were whispering quietly, all talking about the disciples of Purple Mansion Academy.
For most eighth-grade and ninth-grade noble families, having a child enter the academy is already a matter of bringing honor to their ancestors. To become a core disciple would change the entire family’s status.
This is why, in recent decades, the rapid development of the Shanyin Liu Family has been so noticeable, to the point where even the City Guard, Lord Xiahou Hongde, is quite courteous to them, showing signs of goodwill at every turn.
When other patriarchs spoke with Liua Gaowang, they always mentioned Ancestor Xuanfu, as if having a core disciple from an academy in Changning Guard made the locals proud.
Amidst the discussions.
The clear call of a crane suddenly came from the sky.
Amidst the crane’s call, a Red-crowned Immortal Crane with black and white feathers and a long neck burst out of the thick clouds, diving towards the ground.
It was a Tier Four flying spiritual bird, the Red-crowned Immortal Crane nurtured by Purple Mansion Academy!
Behind it dragged a flying chariot radiating with spirit light.
The flying chariot had a frame of dark brown spirit wood, draped with spiritual silkworm silk as curtains. The carriage was spacious and elegantly carved, with runes inscribed on its body. It shimmered with the clear light of an array, standing out like a small sun against the dusky sky.
Upon seeing this flying chariot.
Lord City Guard Xiahou Hongde’s expression immediately turned serious. The other patriarchs, who were whispering, also followed suit in becoming serious.
At the same time, their eyes were filled with envy.
Such a spirit beast flying chariot, even regular Celestial Human Families can’t afford to keep it. Only wealthy entities like Purple Mansion Academy can equip their direct disciples with a spirit beast flying chariot for travel.
Wang Shouzhe was somewhat envious too.
Even reaching the Celestial Human Realm, the profound qi is insufficient to support long-distance flight. Having a spirit beast flying chariot would make traveling anywhere extremely convenient.
Unfortunately, this item is too rare, and he cannot afford it for now.
...
Meanwhile.
In the sky, within the immortal crane’s flying chariot, several young men and women were seated.
The leading young man wore a water-blue arrow-sleeved robe, with handsome features, a gentle temperament, yet possessing an all-encompassing aura that was captivating. Inside the flying chariot, both men and women were led by him.
This young man was none other than Faang You’an, the direct disciple under Binglan Ascendant of Profound Ice Hall.
Sitting on his left and right were three core disciples, two men and one woman. Though young, they all had extraordinary auras, among them Jii Mingyu was prominently present.
"Brothers," a core disciple riding the spirit beast flying chariot for the first time looked down at the earth through the window strings, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, "So this is Changning Guard? From this angle, it truly looks grand and majestic."
"Senior Brother Yang De," Jii Mingyu said, "You’ve said this countless times since we came, but later, maintain your composure to avoid losing face in front of the local influential families of Changning Guard."
"Junior Brother Mingyu, I’m not like you, born a noble, knowledgeable from a young age," Senior Brother Yang De chuckled, "This is the first time I’ve basked in Senior Brother Yoou’an’s glory and enjoyed the benefits of a spirit beast flying chariot. Don’t worry, I won’t lose the academy’s prestige; I’ll show the calm and steady demeanor fitting of a core disciple."
"Changning Guard, Changning Guard. Why does that name sound so familiar?" a core female disciple furrowed her brows slightly, "Where have I heard it before? Senior Brother Yoou’an, is this your hometown?"
Faang You’an smiled wryly and said, "Discussions about family matters are forbidden in the academy, but Junior Sister Longyan has special circumstances."
"So it’s Senior Sister Longyan’s hometown," Jii Mingyu said, slightly excitedly, "Doesn’t that mean we can meet Wang Shouzhe?"
Everyone looked at him with peculiar eyes.
Weren’t you just beaten by Wang Shouzhe recently?
Why are you so excited when mentioning him?
