Chapter 1444: This Guy Is Here Too

Xu Que had imagined what Xuan Yuan Wanrong would look like tens of thousands of years ago. After all, it was tens of thousands of years; he thought Xuan Yuan Wanrong should still be a little girl who hadn't seen much of the world, or perhaps a shy young lady.

As for her appearance, Xu Que thought it shouldn't have changed much. After all, the Xuan Yuan Wanrong he had seen later also kept her appearance at around twenty years old.

However, seeing Xuan Yuan Wanrong from tens of thousands of years ago with his own eyes now, Xu Que was a bit stunned; he had guessed everything wrong.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong tens of thousands of years ago still had that indifferent and cold temperament. One look made people feel she was unapproachable; she was simply an iceberg.

On the contrary, her appearance clearly had a bit more childishness. That exquisite face actually still had a little bit of baby fat; it didn't look fat, just a hint of chubby cuteness.

Xu Que couldn't help but "tsk" and felt quite regretful.

Because Xuan Yuan Wanrong in this period actually also had the Immortal King realm. If she could be a little weaker, he could go over and pinch her little face right now, or even put both hands on her face and rub, rub, rub...

Ah, speaking of rubbing, he remembered Xiao Rou again.

Xu Que's thoughts drifted everywhere, ignoring Xuan Yuan Wanrong's question.

But this didn't cause any emotional fluctuations in Xuan Yuan Wanrong. She still stood calmly in place, sizing Xu Que up.

She had been in this place from the very beginning, even arriving a little earlier than the middle-aged man.

At first, when she saw Xu Que setting up array restrictions at the foot of the mountain, she had already sentenced Xu Que to death in her heart.

Daring to set up an ambush at the foot of the Heavenly Palace Academy was completely disregarding the Heavenly Palace Academy, not to mention that she, Xuan Yuan Wanrong, had always looked down upon such despicable behavior.

But after the middle-aged man appeared, Xuan Yuan Wanrong did not step in to stop Xu Que.

She could see that the middle-aged man had also come with murderous intent, and his target was Xu Que.

So she understood that neither Xu Que nor the middle-aged man were good people; this was a scene of dogs biting dogs.

At that moment, Xuan Yuan Wanrong had been prepared to leave, not intending to pay attention to such boring matters, but Xu Que's strike made her unable to help but stay.

She was surprised by Xu Que's strength. A Great Luo Golden Immortal realm cultivator was actually this powerful, acting decisively and cleanly, especially that palm print Xu Que had struck out with ease; even she had felt pressure from it.

Generally speaking, such a powerful Immortal Art would definitely be collected by the Heavenly Palace Academy, the number one major power in the Heavenly Continent.

But she had been in the Heavenly Palace Academy for so many years and had never seen such a powerful palm print.

So after the battle ended, Xuan Yuan Wanrong couldn't help but ask Xu Que, wanting to know where he had learned that palm print.

However, seeing that this young man didn't respond, Xuan Yuan Wanrong thought he didn't want to tell her, so she didn't pursue the question further.

She turned around and said indifferently: "Before I go back, remove your array restrictions, and also, don't go to the Heavenly Palace Academy. Our academy doesn't welcome people like you."

Xuan Yuan Wanrong's words did not carry any intention of revenge; they were entirely out of her disdain for Xu Que's behavior of ambushing and killing to seize a token.

She also knew clearly that in the cultivation world, no one was absolutely clean and righteous.

Even the Heavenly Palace Academy had many people like Xu Que, and there were even those with worse character than Xu Que, but she hadn't seen them, so she wouldn't care.

But this time she had witnessed Xu Que doing such a thing with her own eyes, so she warned Xu Que, letting Xu Que give up the idea of going to the Heavenly Palace Academy to participate in the Recruitment Conference.

Xu Que had originally been lost in thought, but suddenly hearing Xuan Yuan Wanrong's words, his eyebrows twitched, he rolled his eyes, and was speechless for a moment.

So Xuan Yuan Wanrong tens of thousands of years ago was also this annoying!

"Hmph, miss, I don't like hearing that. Do you think I'm keen on going to the Heavenly Palace Academy?"

Xu Que retorted, pointing at the foot of the mountain: "Even if I, Xu Que, starve to death, die outside, or jump down from here, it's impossible for me to go to your Heavenly Palace Academy."

Xuan Yuan Wanrong's footsteps paused, she turned around, looked at Xu Que again, and said expressionlessly: "If you aren't keen on entering the Heavenly Palace Academy, why ambush and kill to seize the token here?"

"Can't I take it to sell?" Xu Que glared.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong thought for a moment and nodded: "You can!"

She felt that if Xu Que was just taking the Recruitment Order out to sell and not entering the Heavenly Palace Academy, then it had nothing to do with her.

"I hope you keep your word. I don't want to see you at the Heavenly Palace Academy!"

After saying that, she turned and left directly, her figure quickly fading and disappearing.

"Rest assured, you definitely won't see me. I, Xu Que, have always kept my word!" Xu Que shouted loudly, looking at her disappearing back.

Subsequently, a brilliant smile bloomed on Xu Que's face again.

I, Xu Que, won't go, so it's fine if I, Zha Tian Bang's Xue Zhiqian, go, right?

If I, Zha Tian Bang's Xue Zhiqian, don't go, then it's fine if I, Zha Tian Bang's Zhang Wuji, go, right?

Hehe, naive, my Zha Tian Bang has plenty of people!

Soon, Xu Que put away the array restrictions he had set up in the surroundings and stepped toward the nearby mountain forest.

Before long, a handsome man in white robes walked out of the mountain forest.

He wore a jade crown, his fine clothes were noble, his appearance was handsome, and his whole body exuded a gentle and elegant temperament. If it weren't for the roguish smile hanging on the corners of his mouth, anyone who saw him would think he was an elegant scholar.

However, he was still Xu Que.

Changing his identity, appearance, and aura was something that could be solved with a Disguise Puppet for Xu Que; there was no need to even use a divine ability like the Seventy-Two Transformations.

Originally, he didn't need to change his identity, but he was helpless; he had happened to be bumped into by Xuan Yuan Wanrong, so he could only keep a low profile first to have a chance to enter the Heavenly Palace Academy. When the time was right, he would make a big profit in Acting Cool Points, and then he could immediately let the system crack the restriction of the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone and leave this memory world.

"Beautiful hope is right before my eyes!"

Xu Que cheered up, strode forward, and headed toward the stone steps leading to the Heavenly Palace Academy.

However, after taking only a few steps and before even stepping out of the mountain forest, he heard a rumbling sound not far away, and the aura fluctuations of Immortal Arts spread in all directions.

"Eh, someone is fighting?" Xu Que was stunned, then he became happy. It seems there are quite a few people hiding around the Heavenly Palace Academy wanting to kill and seize tokens!

With a thought, a majestic Dao Rhyme swept over his whole body, his ears twitched slightly, and he activated the Heavenly Ear Penetration.

Once the Heavenly Ear was activated, he could hear all sounds in all territories, whether he wanted to hear them or not, freely and at will.

Xu Que calmed his heart and listened to the fighting in the distance. Several voices became clear to his ears instantly.

"Damn it, you beasts, despicable and shameless, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves disciples of the Heavenly Palace Academy? This God Venerable despises you!"

"Hmph, Mighty King, you have committed many evils. In the past ten years, you have stolen from our Heavenly Palace Academy's treasure vault over a hundred times, stolen over ten of our academy's Immortal Artifacts, and stolen over a hundred of our academy's Immortal Arts. Why don't you surrender quickly?"

"Fart, this God Venerable has never done such base things. You are slandering me. If you want to condemn someone, why worry about not having a pretext!"

"Still daring to quibble? Go to hell!"

Hearing this, there was another burst of rumbling Immortal Arts.

Xu Que, however, stared wide-eyed, his face full of astonishment.

This God Venerable? Mighty King?

Isn't this Er Gouzi?

Holy shit, this guy really was here tens of thousands of years ago!
