Cai Hao, Luo Junpeng, and others looked at Yang Xiaotian, their expressions varied, some surprised.

“So it’s Hall Master Yang,” Cai Hao greeted Yang Xiaotian from afar with a smile. “Hall Master Yang, such a young hero. Since the Pharmacist competition, I have had nothing but admiration for you.”

Cai Hao’s smile was full-faced as he looked at Yang Xiaotian, appearing very sincere and enthusiastic.

Yang Xiaotian said, “So it’s Dean Cai.”

Cai Hao turned to the students of Yunhui Academy behind him and said, “What are you waiting for? Pay your respects to Hall Master Yang.”

“Greetings to Hall Master Yang!” Deng Yichun and the group of students called out loudly.

Then, Cai Hao said to Yang Xiaotian with a smile, “Hall Master Yang must be headed to the Royal City for the Academy competition. We are also going to the Royal City for the competition. Since it’s on the way, why don’t we go together?”

Yang Xiaotian responded indifferently, “No need. ‘Pathways differ; do not seek to guide’.” Having said that, he left with Wu Qi and the others.

Xiao Jin rode past Cai Hao on his horse, glanced at Cai Hao, then licked his giant lollipop with a slurping sound.

Cai Hao watched as the figures of Yang Xiaotian, Xiao Jin, and the others receded, his smile gradually fading away.

He did not expect that he, the Dean of Yunhui Academy, extending an invitation to Yang Xiaotian, would be outright rejected.

In front of all the Yunhui Academy students, it was somewhat embarrassing for him.

Luo Junpeng said coldly, “This Yang Xiaotian, he’s become incredibly arrogant. Half a year ago, what was he? ”

Half a year ago, Yang Xiaotian was just an ordinary first-year student at Divine Sword Academy.

Deng Yichun watched as Yang Xiaotian departed, with mixed emotions.

Being arrogant is normal,” Cai Hao said. “Who wouldn’t be arrogant with such Sword Dao talent and Alchemy talent? And, who has a sister even more formidable and terrifying than himself?”

“A level fourteen Martial Soul,” he exclaimed. “I heard the King intends to confer the title of Duke upon his father and appoint his mother as a first-class lady.”

The Kingdom’s nobility includes Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts, Barons, and Baronets.

A Duke is the highest rank among all titles, and a first-class lady is the highest rank among mandated ladies.

“A Duke! A first-class lady!” Deng Yichun and the others couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.

Many families have fought for the Divine Sea Country their entire lives, contributing a great deal, yet never attaining a Duke title. Yet the King was planning to directly confer the title of Duke upon Yang Xiaotian’s father and first-class lady upon his mother?

“This, isn’t it inappropriate?” Deng Yichun blurted out, feeling quite unjust about it.

Last year, his master and his family had sought a mere Baron title for him, but the King had said to decide upon it later.

“In this world, there is no such thing as appropriate or inappropriate,” Cai Hao said, looking at Deng Yichun’s dissatisfied expression. “There are only reasons and no reasons.”

“Inappropriateness is a matter for the weak.”

He then sighed, “Who made it so that Yang Chao’s family has a daughter with a level fourteen Martial Soul?”

“They’re just born lucky.”

Understanding that being considered inappropriate was a matter for the weak, Deng Yichun’s expression still did not look great.

Cai Hao then said to the students of Yunhui Academy, “If you want to fight for a good noble title, for a great future, you must give it your all in this Academy competition.”

“Especially when you enter the Demon Hunting Ground, ‘if you encounter gods, kill gods; if you encounter demons, kill demons!!”

These words had a pointed implication.

Cai Hao added, “Let me tell you, the first place in this Academy competition, Desides a large number or spirit stones, secret ‘romes, precious weapons, ancl Treasure Pills, will also include a Baron title!”

Upon hearing Cai Hao’s words, Deng Yichun and the students were invigorated.

“Dean, are you saying that the first place in this Academy competition will be granted a Baron title?!” Deng Yichun asked with joy.

“Correct,” Cai Hao said with a smile. “This was just decided by the King, and only very few people know about it. It will be announced in a couple of days.” Deng Yichun’s eyes were resolute upon hearing the news.

After leaving with Wu Qi and others, Yang Xiaotian traveled continuously without stopping as night slowly fell.

Considering his parents, Yang Xiaotian and his companions decided to set up camp to rest and continue their journey the next day.

A campfire was lit.

Yang Chao sat by the fire and said to Yang Xiaotian, “Xiaotian, that was Dean Cai Hao from Yunhui Academy during the day, wasn’t it? Aren’t you worried that publicly snubbing him might have consequences?”

Yang Xiaotian simply laughed, “When we act, we just need to follow our hearts. If we don’t wish to do something, we don’t do it. There’s no need to worry about anything else.”

Yang Chao was inwardly shaken as he looked at his son.

Watching the flames of the campfire illuminate Yang Xiaotian’s face, Yang Chao nodded and said, “I’ve lived many extra years as your father, yet I don’t see things as clearly as you do.”

Yang Xiaotian just smiled.

At that moment, they saw Dean Cai Hao from Yunhui Academy and others following them.

Since there were only two mountain roads leading to the Royal City, it was normal to run into them again.

Cai Hao’s face showed some unease upon seeing Yang Xiaotian again, but he still came over to greet him.

The next day, Yang Xiaotian and his group set off again.

By afternoon, they had arrived at the Royal City.

Looking at the towering city walls of the Royal City, Yang Chao felt a surge of excitement. He had dreamed countless times of visiting the Royal City to see the capital of Divine Sea Country. Now, his wish of many years was finally fulfilled.

Huang Ying felt the same.

For the citizens of the country, the capital held a special place in their hearts.

Upon entering the city and considering how hard it was to find availability in the inns, Yang Xiaotian had Luo Qing and Liao Kun look for an inn ahead of time.

However, after a long while, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and a few others came back, reporting that they couldn’t find any inn. With the imminent college competition, every inn and hostel was already full to the brim.

“Then we’ll go to the Divine Sword Academy’s annex,” Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said.

Divine Sword Academy had an annex in the Royal City, but the courtyard was not large, so everyone would have to squeeze in a bit.

However, as they were on their way to the Divine Sword Academy’s annex and passing through a bustling street, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and others suddenly changed their expressions and glared hatefully at a group of people up ahead.

The group coming from the opposite direction also stopped in their tracks. Upon seeing Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and the others, they showed a murderous intent in their eyes.

“Young Master, those are people from Tuoluo Sect,” Luo Qing informed Yang Xiaotian.

The Tuoluo Sect?

Yang Xiaotian looked at the group of fifty or sixty people before him.

He had not expected that the Tuoluo Sect would also attend the Divine Sea Country’s college competition, but it seemed they were not here for the competition itself, but rather in pursuit of Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and several others.

As Yang Xiaotian had suspected, they were indeed there for Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and the others.

After their inquiries, they speculated that Luo Qing and Liao Kun were hiding in Divine Sea Country, and had come to the Royal City amidst the college competition, hoping to locate them.

Deputy Sect Master Lin Tao of the Tuoluo Sect looked at Luo Qing and the others, sneering, “Luo Qing, I bet you didn’t expect to run into us here. You escaped us last time, but this time, let’s see how you run.”

Then he turned his scornful gaze to Yang Xiaotian, “I can’t believe you’re a sect master. Since when did you start serving as a lackey for this ‘young master’?”

Yang Xiaotian stared at Lin Tao, “Last time, I had Luo Qing and others purchase medicinal herbs. Those were the herbs you robbed, weren’t they?”

Lin Tao, sensing the hostility in Yang Xiaotian’s tone, laughed heartily, “That’s right, boy, it was us who stole them. What, you want to reclaim the herbs? Too bad, I am sorry to say, we’ve used them all up.” The elites of Tuoluo Sect burst out laughing..
