Bab 216: Chapter 216: I Hope You Don't Mind
...
Inside Skywater City, Zeng Yi had been wandering all day long. Gradually, the sky began to darken, and without realizing it, Zeng Yi found himself in front of the Fang family's gate.
"Oh? How did I end up here?" Zeng Yi was a bit puzzled, and he turned around to leave.
Although he knew the host of this place and staying here for a few days would not be a problem, Zeng Yi didn't want to trouble anyone and didn't want to get involved with the Fang family too much.
"Xiao Yi! So, you're here!" But when Zeng Yi had only taken a few steps, a familiar voice came from behind him.
He turned around and saw Fang Nan standing there, wearing a purple dress that accentuated her graceful figure, appearing even more noble and mysterious.
"Xiao Yi, where did you go? I've been looking for you all day." Fang Nan quickly walked up to him and grabbed his arm, leaving Zeng Yi dumbfounded by her actions.
"Hehe, I was just wandering around the city." As he smelled the faint fragrance wafting from her, Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, his face blushing slightly in embarrassment.
Are we really that familiar with each other? Zeng Yi couldn't help but wonder.
He carefully twisted his arm to free himself, and finally managed to pull his arm out. Seeing Zeng Yi's embarrassed expression, Fang Nan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Sister Fang, are you dressed so formally because there's something important?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but ask.
Fang Nan smiled and said, "Yes, it's an interesting exchange meeting. I happened to be looking for you to come along. Since you're here, why not come with me?"
"Should I go too?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but be taken aback.
"I'm not quite suitable, after all, I'm just an outsider."
"It's alright, I'm also an outsider. Besides, regular people can't enter this kind of gathering." Fang Nan smiled.
"Plus, there are many young people like you inside, it would be fun to go together and make some friends. It will be of great help to you in the future."
"Shui Bing'er is also there!"
Under Fang Nan's persistence, Zeng Yi reluctantly accompanied her to this mysterious exchange meeting.
Zeng Yi sat in the car with Fang Nan, feeling puzzled, as they left Skywater City, and finally arrived at a luxurious and elegant academy.
"Where is this?"
Looking at the grand entrance in front of him, Zeng Yi felt a sense of shock. The gates opened, and Zeng Yi could clearly see many beautiful girls stepping lightly on the spacious white marble floor inside.
Each girl was dressed exactly like Shui Bing'er that morning.
"This is Skywater Academy, and Shui Bing'er is also a student here." Fang Nan smiled and said to Zeng Yi.
"Let's go, tonight, there's a grand event inside."
Zeng Yi followed Fang Nan and approached the gates of Skywater Academy.
Fang Nan handed some kind of invitation letter to a student, who then allowed the two of them to enter.
Once inside the academy, Zeng Yi curiously looked around at the surroundings. The roads were all paved with white marble, beautiful green spaces were everywhere. A huge lake reflected the moonlight, sparkling like a mysterious starry sky.
"This is Heavenly Star Lake, the largest and most beautiful scenery of Skywater Academy, covering one-third of the entire campus. As the name suggests, when night falls, the starlight in the sky reflects on the lake, creating a beautiful starry scene." Fang Nan explained with a smile as she saw Zeng Yi entranced by Heavenly Star Lake.
"It's so beautiful!" Zeng Yi couldn't help but exclaim. In this lake, Zeng Yi even felt the aura of some spirit beasts, but they were all at the level of a few years or decades of cultivation. There were a few spirit beasts at the level of a hundred years, but they were rare.
The air in the academy was fresh, and the spiritual energy was abundant, just like in the Spirit Beast Forest, giving a tranquil and peaceful feeling. Practicing here would surely be much more effective.
Zeng Yi was amazed by the scenery of Skywater Academy. What exactly was a high-level Spirit Master Academy? One of the strongest Spirit Master academies in the Heaven Dou Empire. Zeng Yi felt that even if Flender had a million gold spirit coins, he would not be able to create Shrek Academy like this.
Zeng Yi followed Fang Nan, turning his head to look around the environment, while Fang Nan continued to introduce him to the situation inside the academy.
"Sister Fang, how do you know so much about Skywater Academy?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but wonder.
Fang Nan lightly laughed, "Don't be fooled by my appearance, I was also a student here. It's just that I graduated several years ago."
"I see." Zeng Yi suddenly realized that Fang Nan lived near Skywater City and was also a Spirit Master with good talent, especially her ice attribute martial spirit. It was natural for her to study at Skywater Academy.
Through Fang Nan's explanation, Zeng Yi also understood the academy a bit. They only accepted beautiful female students with water and ice martial spirits. That's why Zeng Yi hadn't seen a single male student since entering the academy, all of them were young and beautiful female students.
"It's a pity that my talent isn't that good. Even after several years of graduation, I'm still only a Spirit Ancestor. But Shui Bing'er is very talented; she will soon surpass me. In the future, she will definitely be a leading figure in the Spirit Master world." Fang Nan's face showed a hint of pride as she talked about Shui Bing'er.
After all, she was Shui Bing'er's Elder Sister.
Zeng Yi followed Fang Nan leisurely as they walked by the lake for a few minutes, and then he noticed a wooden pathway on the lake leading to the center of Heavenly Star Lake.
"The gathering place is in the center of Heavenly Star Lake." Fang Nan told Zeng Yi as she walked on the pathway, leaving Zeng Yi surprised, but he quickly followed her.
After walking for a few minutes, Zeng Yi saw the endpoint of the pathway. There was a bright light shimmering, and faint sounds of revelry could be heard. This made Zeng Yi even more curious about what these people were doing.
After a while, Zeng Yi and Fang Nan reached their destination.
A large pavilion was erected in the center of the lake. Surrounding it were several small pavilions, connected by the wooden pathway, forming a beautiful and elegant courtyard.
There were dozens of people present, some of them like Fang Nan, dressed in noble attire, while others wore various colored clothes, indicating they were students.
Surprisingly, apart from Zeng Yi, there were other males present. They were dressed differently from the students of Skywater Academy, so they shouldn't be students from there.
Among all the people present, Zeng Yi only recognized Shui Bing'er.
The appearance of the two instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Auntie! You're here too!" A surprised voice rang out.
Looking at the lively voice, Zeng Yi saw a girl with the same hair color as Shui Bing'er running towards them.
"Yue'er, long time no see, you've become more beautiful." Fang Nan touched the girl's head gently and smiled warmly.
"Who is he?" The girl, seeing Zeng Yi standing beside her aunt, asked curiously, her eyes full of curiosity as she stared at the person dressed strangely before her.
Fang Nan said, "He's my friend, Zeng Yi, and he knows your sister too." Then she turned to Zeng Yi and said, "This is Shui Bing'er's younger sister, Shui Yue'er."
"Hehe, nice to meet you." Zeng Yi extended his hand towards Shui Yue'er with a smile on his face.
But Shui Yue'er completely ignored his gesture and grabbed his hand excitedly, shaking it vigorously. "Nice to meet you! My name is Shui Yue'er, Zeng Yi, you can call me Yue'er too."
Her reaction caught Zeng Yi off guard, and he didn't expect this girl to be so enthusiastic.
"By the way, Zeng Yi, you're so handsome and refined. Do you have a girlfriend?" Looking at Shui Yue'er with her lively water-like eyes staring directly at him, Zeng Yi's mouth twitched a few times.
He wanted to retract his hand, but she held it tightly, and he couldn't pull it back, leaving Zeng Yi quite helpless.
Is she really Shui Bing'er's sister? The personalities of these two sisters are quite different, haha.
Zeng Yi silently complained in his heart, and he turned his eyes to Fang Nan, seeking help.
Seeing Zeng Yi's slightly awkward appearance, Fang Nan chuckled a few times and told Shui Yue'er to let go of him.
Shui Yue'er, feeling a bit disappointed after being rejected by Zeng Yi, went to play with her own close friends instead. After a while, she cheered up and became a lively and energetic girl again.
"Shui Bing'er, who is that man? It seems like you know him." Huo Wu walked up to Shui Bing'er and glanced at Zeng Yi, who was sitting on the pavilion railing and looking at the lake surface, appearing quite curious.
"Yeah, he seems very powerful." Feng Xiaotian also gazed at Zeng Yi with curiosity.
Zeng Yi's strange appearance, wearing ordinary clothes, tying his long hair, and even wearing a sword at his waist, gave off a distinct aura. As soon as he entered the scene, he caught their attention.
"I just met him yesterday, we're not familiar." Shui Bing'er replied casually, before adding another sentence.
"He is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Shui Bing'er's words instantly shocked everyone present.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, interesting!" A handsome young man with black hair smiled. His right cheek had a lightning mark on it, and blue electric light flickered in his eyes as he stared at Zeng Yi.
"What? Are you planning to fight him?" Huo Wu looked at the man with a meaningful look.
"That depends on whether he is qualified to make me take action." he said indifferently.
This man was from the Thunderclap Academy, and the power behind the Thunderclap Academy was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the top three forces.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were forces of the same level, both engaged in a silent contest, which extended to the younger generation as well.
However, he hadn't heard of any talents among the younger generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Every confrontation between the two forces' younger generations had always ended in victory for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Liu Ming, come here." the young man called over a student from the Thunderclap Academy and whispered a few words to him.
In no time, amidst the teasing gazes of the others, Liu Ming took a glass of wine and walked towards Zeng Yi's direction.
Zeng Yi was sitting on the pavilion railing, leaning against a pillar, gazing at the beautiful lake surface, lost in thought, unaware that someone was about to cause trouble for him.
Liu Ming held the glass of wine and approached Zeng Yi, but accidentally stumbled, causing the wine to spill all over Zeng Yi's clothes, wetting a large area.
This startled Zeng Yi.
"Sorry, I walked carelessly and spilled the wine on your clothes. I assume you wouldn't mind, right?"
Hearing his response and seeing the sarcastic expression on his face, Zeng Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Zeng Yi knew that this person was looking for trouble.
"Hehe, it's alright, just a small matter. I'll change my clothes."
Zeng Yi's voice wasn't loud, but also not too soft. Everyone present, being cultivators, could clearly hear what Zeng Yi had said.
These few individuals burst into laughter. This was a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the top three sects, and this is how he handled it? This is it?
But the next moment, the situation left everyone dumbfounded.
"Sorry, I accidentally dropped my sword on your neck." Zeng Yi said as he pulled out his sword, its sharp blade pointed at the man's neck.
Looking at him, Zeng Yi squinted his eyes and smiled faintly.
"But I guess you wouldn't mind, right?"
