Chapter 136: Setting Off for the Border Again! Being Watched!

"Teacher Xue, why have you come?"

Seeing that Xue Bingning had actually taken the initiative to visit today, Lin Xueer was somewhat surprised and hurriedly invited her in politely.

Although the few of them rarely went to the academy nowadays, and their strength was already above that of Xue Bingning.

But regardless, she was still the teacher of the four of them.

"Xue'er, you don't need to call me Instructor anymore; I have already resigned from my job as an instructor at Tianque Academy."

Xue Bingning said with a smile, her tone revealing a hint of relief, as if she had set down a heavy burden.

Although she had resigned from her position as an instructor at Tianque Academy, she felt not the slightest bit of reluctance.

Hearing these words from Xue Bingning, Lin Xueer was slightly stunned, feeling a bit surprised for a moment.

She had not expected that Xue Bingning would actually resign.

One must know that as a new instructor, among the first batch of students Xue Bingning led were the four of them, such outstanding Beast Tamers.

As the instructor of the champions of the Great Jin Dynasty's Hundred Schools League, it was certain that Xue Bingning would have a bright future.

"This... then what do you plan to do in the future..."

Lin Xueer was somewhat puzzled, not knowing why Xue Bingning had come to find them after resigning.

"I want to be your nanny for a few years first, follow by your side to learn, and then apply to be an instructor after I have achieved something."

Xue Bingning smiled slightly, bit her red lips lightly, and asked: "I wonder if it's convenient; you wouldn't find me troublesome, would you?"

Hearing these words from Xue Bingning, Lin Xueer did not know how to answer for a moment, but fortunately, Luo Shuiyan came down from upstairs at this time.

"Sister Xue, what are you saying?"

"We aren't some young ladies of high status; where would we need a nanny?"

"If you want to be with us, then we can just tidy up a room for you."

Luo Shuiyan came to Xue Bingning's side very naturally, with a smile on her face and not the slightest bit of rejection.

Luo Shuiyan still had a relatively good impression of Xue Bingning.

In that Tianque Academy, which was corroded by power, a teacher like Xue Bingning who was young and had aspirations was very rare.

Moreover, at Tianque Academy, Xue Bingning had taken good care of them, being very dedicated and responsible.

Furthermore, as a new instructor, Xue Bingning herself was very young, only a few years older than the others.

Even if they lived together, there would be no generation gap, and communicating would not be awkward.

Hearing that Luo Shuiyan had agreed to her request, Xue Bingning was immediately all smiles.

"Why would I need to trouble you? I can just tidy up the room myself."

Hearing how Luo Shuiyan addressed her, Xue Bingning was very happy; at least this way, she could quickly close the distance between them.

Besides, as a beautiful woman, no one wants to be called something that sounds too old-fashioned.

Xue Bingning was also very hardworking; on the first day she moved into the villa, she cooked in person and showed off her excellent culinary skills.

That table of sumptuous dishes made the eyes of Luo Shuiyan and the other three widen.

It was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, and the fragrance of food permeated the entire villa.

Among the four in the villa, usually only Luo Shuiyan's cooking was considered decent, while the other three could be said to be a total mess.

And compared to Xue Bingning, the dishes Luo Shuiyan made were a far cry behind.

Jiang Che started eating heartily; he was very welcoming of Xue Bingning's arrival.

This Xue Bingning could be said to be a typical mature, charming woman.

Every smile and movement exuded a mature and alluring charm, just like a perfectly ripe peach.

Not to mention her proud figure, after arriving at the villa, she was like a gentle big sister.

Jiang Che also didn't expect that not only did Xue Bingning have a proud figure, but the steamed buns she made were equally delicious.

After Xue Bingning moved into the villa, she truly felt how hard Luo Shuiyan and the others trained.

The four of them spent almost all their time on cultivation.

Such self-disciplined people had no need for the academy to urge them. Facts proved that the effort behind a genius is equally not to be ignored.

That Luo Shuiyan and the other three could all reach the Imperial Rank by their senior year was inseparable from their efforts.

Time flew by, and soon another month passed.

Luo Shuiyan opened her eyes and calculated the time.

At this moment, nearly a month had passed since the new Hundred Schools League in the Imperial Capital.

According to the tournament process, in a few more days, the winners would set off to head to the border together with those arranged by the powerful and influential.

They would enter Canglan Mountain to contract their respective new Spirit Beasts.

"It's time; we should also set off."

At dinner, Luo Shuiyan looked at everyone and said.

"Set off? Where to?"

Xue Bingning was completely confused; she didn't expect that she had just arrived at the villa, and Luo Shuiyan was already going out.

The key was that in her memory, there didn't seem to be any special activities during this period.

Lin Xueer and the other two on the side were also stunned when they heard Luo Shuiyan's words; they put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another and looked up at her.

Lin Xueer and Yi Zimeng's eyes were full of confusion, while Hu Xiaoxiao was a bit excited and thrilled, seemingly looking forward to a new adventure.

"We are going to the border this time to hunt for treasure!"

Luo Shuiyan gave them a mysterious smile without giving too much explanation.

This matter concerned a Secret Realm, so Luo Shuiyan did not reveal any information.

After all, the implications this time were truly too great; the Human Race, Demon Race, and Spirit Race would all be involved.

Most importantly, not a single bit of news about her rebirth could be leaked.

"Alright, then I will go pack my luggage."

Yi Zimeng nodded upon hearing this and said.

Having spent so long together, the few of them had already developed a great deal of tacit understanding.

Luo Shuiyan always seemed to know many things that ordinary people could not understand.

However, since she did not volunteer the information, the three of them did not intend to press her for answers.

In any case, every decision Luo Shuiyan made only brought benefits and no harm.

As long as they followed Luo Shuiyan, they would never be at a disadvantage.

The group were all people of action; once they decided to do something, they did it.

Very quickly, they bought their tickets and boarded the train heading toward the border city.

However, Xue Bingning did not come along this time; after all, the gap in strength between Xue Bingning and the four members of Luo Shuiyan's group was too great.

She knew her own strength was insufficient and would only hold Luo Shuiyan and the others back, so she remained at the villa.

"Father, Luo Shuiyan and her Rose Maiden Team have boarded the Intercity Train and left Xi'an!"

After Luo Shuiyan's speech was broadcast inside the Imperial Palace, the royal family planted their own informants in Tianque Academy and even throughout the Xi'an Ancient City.

Luo Shuiyan had only just departed for two days when Sima Changkong, inside the main hall of the Imperial Palace, received the report from his subordinate.

"Where did they go?"

"Father, the final stop for the train they four boarded is Shu City."

Upon hearing these words from Sima Changkong, a cold glint immediately flashed through Sima Qingtian's eyes.

"Shu City? Why would they go to Shu City for no reason at a time like this?"

Sima Qingtian's brows were tightly locked; his mind was extremely sharp.

Although he did not know what Luo Shuiyan intended to do, he could vaguely sense that something was about to happen.

"Continue to send people to monitor them closely!"
