Chapter 430: The Reaction of Shenfeng Academy

Three days passed in a flash.

Under the supervision of Hu Liena, Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er walked through all their past memories, whether it was the Mimicry Cultivation Ground where they practiced dance, the grand auditorium where they celebrated birthdays, the Teaching Hall where they first held hands, or the bedroom that held countless beautiful moments…

Having walked through the past together, it finally condensed into this moment of mutual understanding and companionship, and the conviction to head toward the future.

"Our memories… there are still two places we haven't been," Qin Jian said.

At the entrance of Tianshui Academy.

The Guard Knight Order was waiting quietly, and a large group of Tianshui Academy students were there to see them off.

Shui Bing'er stood beside Qin Jian, gently holding his arm, her eyes curved into crescents, very soft: "You mean Shenfeng Academy and Thunder Academy, right?"

Being able to reunite with Qin Jian, being able to lie on the same bed with him again, and being able to be even closer to him—she was already very satisfied now.

"Yes, our next stop is Shenfeng Academy!"

Qin Jian waved to everyone, then pulled Shui Bing'er and Hu Liena into the luxury carriage.

The high-level officials of Tianshui Academy watched this scene quietly, watching the only male student who had changed the fate of Tianshui Academy leave, their hearts filled with a complex mix of emotions for a moment.

"I really don't know how far he will go in the future…"

The Dean of Tianshui's gaze carried a hint of anticipation: "Dean of Spirit Hall Academy, Chief Judge of Spirit Judgment Hall, Guard Commander—it can be said that nearly half of the power of the Spirit Hall is already in his hands…"

"Isn't the most critical point that the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall is also in his hands?"

Yan Zhining put her hands on her hips and laughed: "And those rumors about the Pope; even if Qin Jian does nothing, the Spirit Hall will still fall into his hands."

"I personally think it's not that simple. That peerless Pope is no fool; how could she truly be bewitched by male beauty?"

The Dean of Tianshui shook her head and said: "She must have seen greater possibilities in Qin Jian, which is why she delegated power like that. However, there is one thing she definitely saw, and that is Qin Jian's sentimentality; as long as one treats him with sincerity, he will not let them down."

"Just like how he treats our Tianshui Academy?" Yan Zhining laughed.

The Dean of Tianshui smiled and nodded.

"Hahaha, I was truly wise back then to have thought of recruiting Qin Jian to our academy!"

Yan Zhining started putting her hands on her hips and laughing again: "Xiao Jing, you opposed me back then, just be glad now; if it weren't for me, Tianshui Academy wouldn't have received such favorable treatment."

Xiao Jing pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

There was no helping it; in this matter, Yan Zhining truly had made a great contribution, unmatched by anyone.

And back then, she had even wanted to stop Qin Jian from entering the academy; thinking about it now, it was truly a shameful memory…

The three of them naturally couldn't ride horses anymore.

Hu Liena could only regretfully stay in the carriage with Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er.

With the powerful mobility of the Knight Order, it only took Qin Jian and the others a few days to reach Shenfeng Academy.

The luxury carriage lived up to its name, with extraordinary shock absorption and top-tier equipment, so the journey was still very comfortable.

"I wonder if Shenfeng Academy will stir up any more trouble," Hu Liena suddenly said, glancing at Shui Bing'er.

It was clearly a pointed remark.

But Shui Bing'er couldn't be bothered to pay attention, simply leaning softly on Qin Jian's shoulder, without the slightest desire for conflict.

Hu Liena felt like she had punched cotton; it was very uncomfortable.

She discovered that she really wasn't as good as Shui Bing'er; this girl, like Ice and Snow, had no desires or demands, wrapping around Qin Jian like a pool of water.

No matter if he had other women, she would always be there waiting for him.

She couldn't understand this kind of affection at all right now—not fighting, not grabbing, not making a scene, just being together is enough…

Perhaps, only after experiencing great setbacks can one wash away the vanity and realize one's true heart.

Just like her Pope teacher, after losing once, she could now even do something like fighting her disciple for a man, and do it without a shred of guilt…

But thinking about it carefully, one would realize her teacher wasn't actually fighting; she was just trying to please Qin Jian and gain his approval.

This was the point Hu Liena could least understand; her Pope teacher was such a proud person, how could she be so dazed and confused? Was this man really a walking aphrodisiac?

"Nana, you've been looking at me for a long time, what are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Qin Jian's concerned voice pulled the little fox's messy thoughts back to reality.

"Ah? No, nothing…" Hu Liena shook her head.

Qin Jian reached out to stroke her head, then pulled her over to sit on his lap, wrapping his arms tightly around her: "Nana, if there's anything making you unhappy, tell me; don't bottle it up."

"Mm…"

Hu Liena comfortably enjoyed his gentle stroking, her bright eyes curving into crescent shapes.

At this moment, she was like a little pet, lying quietly in her master's arms…

Shui Bing'er, leaning against Qin Jian, had a strange look flash in her eyes.

This Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall was truly completely bewitched; her eyes had always only ever held Qin Jian alone…

"Sigh…"

Shui Bing'er let out a soft, melancholy sigh.

Another infatuated, foolish woman, and they hadn't even broken up yet; she seemed to see the moment when Hu Liena would be heartbroken…

"Hm?"

Hu Liena suddenly looked up, feeling strange, because she felt two hands stroking her head.

Looking up, it was Shui Bing'er who had also reached out to stroke her, with an expression of pity on her face.

The little fox instantly bristled: "Who gave you permission to touch me?!"

"Hehe…"

Shui Bing'er smiled as she withdrew her hand: "It's just that the Holy Maiden is too cute, making me unable to resist wanting to pat your head."

Hu Liena blinked, a bit dazed.

She completely couldn't understand what was up with the sudden radiance of a big sister emanating from Shui Bing'er…

"We're here."

At this moment, Qin Jian suddenly let go of Hu Liena and said, "Prepare to dress, let us see if Shenfeng Academy is ready."

Qin Jian and Hu Liena changed into their formal attire together, while Shui Bing'er watched them quietly from the side.

She hadn't noticed what Qin Jian was wearing last time at all, and this was also her first time seeing him put on such luxurious and intricate clothing; for a brief moment, there was a look of amazement in her eyes.

Because he lacked a bit of his usual capable appearance, but gained a bit more of the bearing of someone in a high position.

But she stopped being amazed very quickly...

"Hmph, the Sword Outfit I gave him is still the most suitable; it's simple and elegant, not this flashy..."

Seeing Qin Jian and Hu Liena walk down one after the other, she curiously followed them down as well.

Then she discovered that there were hardly any people at the entrance of Shenfeng Academy, but the figures of a man and a woman were quite familiar...

"Feng Xiaotian? Feng Yunwu?"

At this time, Qin Jian had already called out their names.

"Long time no see, Qin Jian..."

Feng Yunwu was still in that light green dress, looking very much like a goddess.

Her eyes, meeting Qin Jian's gaze, held unconcealable surprise: "I didn't expect that this Chief Judge of the Spirit Hall would really be you; we even suspected it might be someone with the same name!"

"Hmph!"

Feng Xiaotian crossed his arms over his chest, just like back then; clearly his martial soul was a Lick Dog, yet he liked to act cool...

"Did your Shenfeng Academy just send you two to welcome me?"

Qin Jian narrowed his eyes.

The atmosphere stagnated...
