Supreme Dragon Seal

Chapter 169: Seeing Yao Rao Again

On the second day, the Sunset Royal Magic Academy gathered thirty of its most outstanding students to form an exchange group. They were led by the academy’s principal, Mo Fang, and they set off for the Golden Leaf Empire.

However, the mentors and students were surprised to find that among the members of this exchange group was Shi Liumang, who had caused a great commotion in the academy the day before.

But when they learned that it was the principal who personally nominated him to be part of the exchange group, no one dared to say anything more. After all, Principal Mo’s reputation in the academy was formidable, and his word was law.

Many people suddenly realized why the inspection team had let the matter of Shi Liumang’s assault go unpunished yesterday.

Qi Bei paid no heed to the gazes from all directions. He quietly observed Feng Ruoyu and Huo Siqin, who were also part of the exchange group. As for the others, he couldn’t be bothered to pay them any attention.

“Let’s depart,” Dean Mo waved his hand, and three carriages with the academy’s emblem slowly drove out of the Sunset Royal Academy.

The carriages were spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people. With about ten people in each carriage, there was plenty of room.

Qi Bei propped up his legs and sat by the window at the back of the carriage. The rest of the people were excitedly chatting in groups of two or three, but he was alone, and no one wanted to sit next to him.

Feng Ruoyu and Huo Siqin were also in the same carriage as Qi Bei. The two girls sat together, radiant and graceful, making others hesitant to approach them despite their desire to engage in conversation.

At that moment, Xiao Zi emerged from Qi Bei’s chest and flew onto his shoulder. It stretched its wings and yawned widely before curiously looking out of the window.

Xiao Zi’s appearance immediately caught the attention of Feng Ruoyu and Huo Siqin. This little creature looked incredibly cute. But who would have expected it to possess such terrifying attack power and astonishing strength?

Of course, the notion of terror was relative to these students. Based on Qi Bei’s estimation, Xiao Zi’s attack power was at most equivalent to that of a senior-level lightning mage.

However, Xiao Zi had only just been born a few days ago. According to the growth pattern of magical beasts, when it reached adulthood, it would at least have the strength of a Saint-level powerhouse.

Huo Siqin suddenly stood up and walked towards Qi Bei.

“Student Shi, your magical pet is so adorable. Can I have a look?” She spoke up.

“Shit student…” The other students in the same carriage burst into laughter.

“Student Liu Mang…” Huo Siqin immediately corrected herself.

But this time, the laughter grew even louder. Blushing slightly, Huo Siqin stomped her foot and turned to face the laughing students.

The laughter abruptly stopped as Huo Siqin, as a member of the prestigious Huo family, carried a certain intimidating presence.

“Pay no attention to them. They may laugh, but in my eyes, they’re not even worth a piece of shit,” Qi Bei laughed heartily and with a thought, Xiao Zi flew onto Huo Siqin’s fragrant shoulder.

At this moment, Feng Ruoyu also walked over and the two girls sat not far from Qi Bei, playing with Xiao Zi. With its adorable appearance, Xiao Zi had quite an impact on the girls.

“By the way, what kind of bird is this?” Huo Siqin asked. She couldn’t help but feel that this bird was of the same species as the one with the bearded man, except that it wasn’t as large, and its head didn’t have a white crest.

“It’s a Thunderbird,” Qi Bei replied. From Huo Siqin’s expression, he knew what she was thinking.

“Thunderbird? I don’t think I’ve heard of it. What level of magical beast is it?” Feng Ruoyu asked.

“I don’t know,” Qi Bei shrugged.

Both girls looked at Qi Bei intently, their eyes fixed on him.

“Um… ladies, do you have a mirror?” Qi Bei spoke up.

“Why do you need a mirror?” Huo Siqin asked.

“I want to see if I’ve become handsome,” Qi Bei laughed.

As they watched Qi Bei joking and laughing with the two girls, the others grew jealous, their eyes turning red.

Feng Ruoyu scrutinized Qi Bei from head to toe, as if trying to see through him. His tone and demeanor were too similar to Qi Bei’s, but she knew deep down that a student who had been in the academy for a few years couldn’t possibly be Qi Bei.

Just then, Qi Bei’s expression suddenly changed slightly, and a tremendous amount of energy enveloped the entire Sunset Royal City.

“It’s them.” As Qi Bei extended his consciousness, he couldn’t help but be startled. He sensed the aura of Yao Rao and Princess Ming Yue.

Suddenly, violent energy fluctuations and explosions came from the direction of the Falling Sunset Palace.

“Falling Sunset Kingdom’s ruler, Ling Xiao, has joined the dark faction, aiding the tiger. Today, I, Yao Ruo, shall eradicate them in the name of Heavenly Mountain Peak. Those unrelated, leave quickly,” Yao Rao’s enchanting voice spread in all directions.

Once these words were uttered, it was like a bomb exploding in Sunset Royal City, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

The fact that the ruler of Falling Sunset Kingdom could be a member of the dark faction was too difficult to accept. With the ruler gone, what would become of Falling Sunset Kingdom? What about the factions that were aligned with the ruler?

The more than thirty members of the Royal Academy’s exchange group who had just arrived at the city gate, preparing to leave, were also shocked. With this incident, should they still proceed?

“Listen up, everyone. The journey continues,” at this moment, Headmaster Mo’s voice resounded in the ears of each student.

Huo Siqin was a little worried. She wanted to go home and check, Heavenly Mountain Peak wouldn’t destroy the Huo Family, right ?

Just as they were about to leave the city, five figures suddenly appeared, blocking the city gate. Among them, one person was none other than Princess Ming Yue.

“All those who are leaving the city must undergo inspection,” Ming Yue’s cold voice echoed. A bead in her hand emitted a holy light that enveloped the city gate, and everyone had to pass through this holy light to leave.

“Siqin, don’t worry. I know this disciple from the Holy Land. I’ll go down and ask for you,” Feng Ruoyu said, poking her head out and then jumping off the carriage. She passed through the holy light and smiled at Ming Yue.

Ming Yue was momentarily stunned, but then a hint of delight appeared on her face. At first, she didn’t recognize her because it had been over two years. Feng Ruoyu had grown into a beautiful young girl, and the transformation was quite significant.

“Sister Ming Yue, long time no see. You’ve become even more beautiful,” Feng Ruoyu arrived while bouncing and pounced on her, embracing her jade arm.

“Ruoyu, what are you doing here?” Ming Yue’s expression softened, and a smile appeared on her lips. She was close friends with Feng Ruoyun, so naturally, she treated Feng Ruoyu like her own sister. After over two years without seeing each other, their unexpected reunion naturally brought joy to their hearts.

Feng Ruoyu explained the reason and then asked, “Sister Ming Yue, besides the ruler of Falling Sunset Kingdom colluding with the dark faction, what other forces are there?”

“There are also some people from the Jin family and the Lin family,” Ming Yue replied.

“What about the Huo family?” Feng Ruoyu asked.

“The Huo family is not on the list.”

Feng Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief. That’s good. Huo Siqin didn’t have to worry. And once the ruler and the Jin and Lin families fell, it seemed that Falling Sunset Kingdom would belong to the Huo family.

The three carriages from the Royal Academy passed through the holy light without any issues. Headmaster Mo, controlled by the ghost, had a look of enjoyment on his face as he passed through the holy light.

Ming Yue swept her eyes and suddenly felt a familiar gaze. She looked over and saw a slightly sleazy-looking student on one of the passing carriages staring at her with a leering look. When he noticed her gaze, he immediately averted his eyes and put on a serious expression.

“Sister Ming Yue, are you going back to the Golden Leaf Imperial Capital?” Feng Ruoyu asked.

“Perhaps,” Ming Yue replied.

“In that case, you’ll be able to meet Brother Qi Bei. I heard that the Nord Family is about to hold the 800th-year Grand Ceremony, and all the descendants must return to the capital,” Feng Ruoyu said.

Ming Yue’s expression remained unchanged, but her heart twisted slightly at the mention of that name. She couldn’t seem to let it go.

Seeing no reaction on Ming Yue’s face, Feng Ruoyu felt a bit disappointed yet also somewhat relieved, but she didn’t know why…

After chatting with her for a while longer, Feng Ruoyu bid farewell and returned to the carriage.

“How did it go? How did it go?” Huo Siqin eagerly asked as soon as Feng Ruoyu got back.

“Don’t worry, the Huo family is not on the blacklist, but the Jin and Lin families are. Qin’er, it looks like you’re about to become a princess,” Feng Ruoyu giggled.

Huo Siqin felt relieved in her heart. As for being a princess or not, she didn’t really care.

“By the way, Ruoyu, how do you know the disciple from the Holy Land? She’s really beautiful,” Huo Siqin said, a bit envious.

“She is Princess Ming Yue of the Golden Leaf Empire and a close friend of my sister. So, of course, I know her,” Feng Ruoyu said.

“Oh, I remember now. Her former fiancé is Qi Bei Nord, the one who survived in the Undead Mountain Range for eight months,” Huo Siqin exclaimed. That incident was a hot topic for quite a long time.

“Yes, that’s him,” Feng Ruoyu mentioned Qi Bei, her eyes shining brightly.

Seeing Feng Ruoyu’s expression, Huo Siqin chuckled and said, “I see, Ruoyu, you have a crush on her fiancé.”

Feng Ruoyu intertwined her fingers and raised her head. “So what if I like him? If Sister Ming Yue doesn’t marry him, I will.”

Cough cough… Qi Bei, who had been listening nearby, seemed to have choked on his own saliva and started coughing violently.

“Why are you so excited?” Huo Siqin asked with a smile.

“Nothing, it’s just that I heard the fairy has found her true love, and it’s heartbreaking,” Qi Bei said.

Huo Siqin giggled and said, “So the rumors are true. You really have feelings for Ruoyu.”

“Everyone has a love for beauty, I not only admire her but also admire you,” Qi Bei said.

Huo Siqin’s face suddenly turned serious upon hearing this. “I also have someone I love.”

Qi Bei sighed and touched the feather of Xiao Zi, speaking to himself, “Xiao Zi, it seems that in this lifetime, it’s just you and me. Your owner is not lucky enough to find a suitable mistress for you.”josei

Xiao Zi cast a disdainful glance at Qi Bei. Hmph, master, despite being born not long ago, I know all about your women.

Qi Bei glared at Xiao Zi and flicked its little head with his finger, causing the little creature to yelp in pain and look at him with a pitiful expression.
