Chapter 69: Having a Backer, I Can Do Whatever I Want!

"Not bad, it has been a few years since I've seen a student with such good talent..."

Seeing Luo Shuiyan's information, an old man walked out from a building behind that resembled a security office.

His face was full of joy, he clicked his tongue in wonder, and he couldn't stop praising Luo Shuiyan.

Seeing that Tianque Academy had produced such a genius, he was genuinely excited from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

"To have such cultivation at such a young age, what a genius!"

"If they can be nurtured properly, I believe our Human Race will be able to produce another top-tier powerhouse in the future!"

However, when he immediately saw the information that followed, he was completely stunned.

"An Ordinary Class student?! How could it be an Ordinary Class student?!"

The old man's complexion instantly turned incomparably gloomy, as dark as if ink were about to drip from it.

"Bastards! A student with such outstanding talent was actually assigned to the Ordinary Class?!"

"How are the brains of those bastards wired?!"

The old man let out a heavy sigh, then whispered softly.

"Has the academy now been infiltrated and corrupted by those fellows to this extent?"

The old man looked helpless, and there was even a trace of sorrow between his brows.

"It's actually Elder Guo! I didn't expect that he would also appear here today?"

Looking at this sorrowful old man, Luo Shuiyan was immediately filled with reverence.

The old man before her was dressed plainly, and he wore no badge on his chest.

He looked unremarkable, and not even as imposing or stylish as those Instructors.

But Luo Shuiyan knew very clearly in her heart that the person before her was one of the true powerhouses of this Tianque Academy!

Moreover, this old man was the type who hated the Demon Race deeply.

He was a senior who truly wanted to help the Human Race and cultivate generations of powerhouses.

Even the Dean of Tianque Academy could only be considered a junior in front of Elder Guo.

"This junior pays respects to Elder Guo!"

Seeing the old man walking toward her, Luo Shuiyan hurriedly bowed in salute.

Her expression was extremely respectful, without the slightest pretense.

"Oh, little girl, you recognize this old man?"

Luo Shuiyan's action made Elder Guo somewhat surprised for a moment.

He usually didn't walk around much, and today was just a whim; he had arrived here by chance.

But he hadn't expected to encounter such a gifted surprise as Luo Shuiyan.

It was just that he was very curious as to why Luo Shuiyan would recognize him.

After all, according to the information sheet just now, Luo Shuiyan was only a newcomer who hadn't joined Tianque Academy for long.

One must know that even senior students, and even most Instructors, might not necessarily recognize him.

"Elder Guo, you are the pillar of our Great Jin Dynasty, and for the prosperity of the Human Race, you have truly given your all over these years!"

"You have slain countless members of the Demon Race and cultivated who knows how many Beast Tamer powerhouses; naturally, this junior recognizes your illustrious name!"

Luo Shuiyan's expression was very sincere; she truly respected this senior before her from the bottom of her heart.

Even when she was the Empress in her previous life, it was the same.

"Oh? To be able to make her show such heartfelt respect, it seems this old man has some ability?"

Jiang Che lay in Xue Bingning's arms, seeing Luo Shuiyan show such respect to an old man dressed so plainly.

This kind of scene was truly rare.

After all, Luo Shuiyan had always maintained an icy, aloof demeanor toward outsiders.

Even toward the elders of Tianque Academy or the powerhouses of great noble families, Luo Shuiyan had never given them any face.

Jiang Che concluded that the identity of this old man was definitely extraordinary. Although the old man's eyes looked very aged, they were bright and piercing.

Within his pitch-black pupils, there seemed to be a unique divine light.

Although his body was somewhat withered and thin, Jiang Che could feel that there was a powerful surge of blood energy contained within the old man's body; it was absolutely not as simple as it looked on the surface! "Hahahaha, you little girl, you are quite clever and good at flattering people."

"I am just an old, worn-out man who has lived for many years; I am not as great as you say..."

Hearing these words from Luo Shuiyan, the corners of Elder Guo's mouth couldn't help but rise.

Having outstanding talent yet lacking the arrogance of those geniuses, and knowing his identity yet still remaining calm and composed—this kind of character was truly rare.

Elder Guo discovered that he was appreciating this junior before him more and more.

Although today was their first meeting, the feeling Luo Shuiyan gave him was something ordinary students completely lacked.

"This junior, Xue Bingning, pays respects to Elder Guo."

At this moment, Xue Bingning, who was standing to the side, also hurriedly bowed in salute.

Her expression was inevitably a bit awkward.

After all, she was an Instructor of the academy, yet the people she knew were fewer than her own student; this was somewhat ridiculous.

Now that she was following Luo Shuiyan in bowing, it felt as if Luo Shuiyan were the Instructor and she were the new student, being brought along to meet a senior...

"Little girl, since you call me Elder Guo, then I shall call you Little Luo."

"That we two could meet today can be considered a destiny written in the stars; take this."

While speaking, Elder Guo took a pitch-black wooden tablet from his storage space and handed it to Luo Shuiyan.

"Rest assured, if anyone in the academy gives you trouble in the future, take out this wooden tablet, and all matters will naturally be resolved."

Having said that, the old man left and fled toward the distance.

Luo Shuiyan could even feel the fierce anger radiating from Elder Guo!

"Hmph! It's one thing for these fellows to mess around as usual; I've been turning a blind eye and couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind."

"But now, to actually relegate such a monstrous genius to the Ordinary Class—I think this academy has been living in comfort for far too long..."

After the old man left, Jiang Che also jumped onto Luo Shuiyan.

"That old man just gave you a wooden plaque; is this thing very precious?"

Looking at the wooden plaque in Luo Shuiyan's hand, Jiang Che was puzzled for a moment; he couldn't see anything peculiar about it.

Lin Xueer and the others all gathered around at this moment, looking at the wooden plaque in Luo Shuiyan's hand with curious expressions.

"Xiaobai, you don't know, this is no ordinary wooden plaque!"

Crimson flames rose up in Luo Shuiyan's hand, yet the wooden plaque remained unchanged despite being burned by the flames.

"The material of this wooden plaque is extraordinary; it is forged from high-quality Black Profound Wood, is impervious to water and fire, and is extremely tough."

"Compared to the material, the most crucial thing is the symbolic significance of this plaque!"

"Even the Dean of Tianque Academy wouldn't dare offend them, because the person who gave out this token is a Saint-level powerhouse who has surpassed the Venerable Rank!"

"Saint-level?! That's great news; oh my goodness, I never expected to be able to get to know such a powerhouse!"

After hearing Luo Shuiyan's explanation, Jiang Che was instantly overjoyed.

Luo Shuiyan had a straightforward personality, but the key was that she always liked to act recklessly.

Now that they had such a big backer, she could act as recklessly as she wanted in the future, and he could finally rest easy and slack off.

"This plaque, I think I've seen it somewhere in an ancient book..."

After Hu Xiaoxiao, who had leaned in, took a few looks, she was immediately shocked.

Yi Zimeng also felt she had some impression of it at this time...

She didn't expect that Luo Shuiyan would be so lucky as to gain the appreciation of that person!
