--- Chapter 85 ---

Jia Nan Academy.

At the front gate, Baek Ain and his companions entered as guests for a thousand flame refinement ceremonies. Baek Ain especially had a weak smile behind his face mask as he wondered why this happened.

Well, let's return to a few days ago.

...

...

"Well, I'll choose this one then."

Baek Ain pressed his finger against the Demonic Faction's option, as Han Feng's side wasn't pleasant for him. In this alternative universe of Battle Through the Heaven, Han Feng still betrays Yao Chen, but Yao Men is the main culprit.

So, no Hall of Soul is involved.

Even if Han Feng had a connection with the Hall of Soul, it is probably a business relationship because of his alchemist expertise.

Baek Ain is leaning toward the Demonic Faction as this new group piques his interest more. He also can explore the unknown area and Sign In for more rewards.

[Ding! You have chosen "Demonic Faction."]

[Han Feng has declared war against the "Fallen Orchid Sect." from the Demonic Faction. The reason is unknown for now, but he's very determined to seize something]

[Name: Help the Fallen Orchid Sect]

[Objective: Defeat Han Feng and his support (0/115)]

[Time Limit: A Week]

[Failure's Penalty: -20% Demonic Faction's Alignments]

[Reward: +20% Demonic Faction's Alignments and 1x Mysterious Stone] This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

[The quest is automatically accepted when choosing "Demonic Faction."]

"I expected this already." Baek Ain rolled his eyes.

He flipped through the news of Central Plains, finding one related to the Fallen Orchid Sect. It was a piece of old information from a month ago because this sect agreed to attend the thousand flame refinement ceremonies at the Jia Nan Academy.

Even though the Fallen Orchid Sect is in a crucial condition now, they sent their representative a week ago to Jia Nan Academy already. So, this sect from the Demonic Faction is probably hoping for support one way or another.

Unfortunately, the distance between Jia Nan Academy and Central Plains is quite long. Baek Ain checked the map of Central Plains and drew some lines of the route.

He discovered the shortest path required a week of the journey. After all, there is no Spatial Gate to connect the Fallen Orchid Sect(a secluded faction) in the middle of nowhere to Jia Nan Academy.

Jia Nan Academy invited the Fallen Orchid Sect to attend the thousand flame refinement ceremonies because someone from this sect is a graduate.

"Looks, that man is so cool~!" A squeal came from a female student of Jia Nan Academy. Her friend followed and felt a weird sensation in her heart, falling for this mysterious man.

Baek Ain arrived just a few minutes ago, and there were "already." a group of female students admiring him. And they might call him "Daddy." out of spite.

Something like this won't happen in his past life.

The male students grit their teeth in disbelief as they have never seen such a cool-looking man. And Not to mention the three beauties on his side, which even the veil couldn't conceal the charming aura.

They are jealous but more awed than anything.

Baek Ain locked on a silver-haired female student as she stared at him solemnly. He approached her and asked calmly, "Uh, pardon. Do you know where Senior Su Qian is?"

"A-Ah, me? Are you talking to me?" She reacted as if she got awakened from a daydream.

"Obviously." Baek Ain chuckled helplessly, making the young woman blush.

'This guy, Don't touch our Goddess Han Yue!' The male students shouted in their hearts when witnessing this scenery. Meanwhile, female students felt the opposite.

'Uwaah! Senior Sister Han Yue is so lucky~!!'

Cough! Cough!

"I appreciated your understanding for attending the Thousand Flame Refinement Ceremony, but can you please not flirt with our academy's students?" A calm voice appeared from the sky.

An elder descended from the sky, flowing his black robe gently.

He appeared to be in his late forties with white hair and a neat mustache, giving off the sensation of seniority. Something about this elder's temperance soothes all the chaos Baek Ain created in five minutes.

Baek Ain smiled behind his face mask and returned, "Flirting? I'm just asking for directions."

"Well, I won't deny that she's beautiful."

"T-Thank you..." The young woman bowed to Baek Ain and ran away in the distance, leaving everyone speechless. Jia Nan's beauty ran away like a shy kitten.

"..." Su Qian sighed in defeat.

Youths these days are playing around with their feelings too much.

Train to become stronger, can't you?

He looked at Baek Ain and mumbled, "It's understandable, I guess."

"In my younger days, many girls wanted me..."

'Sure.' Everyone couldn't help but think. Even though the Grand Elder is mumbling, they can hear it.

Baek Ain clapped his hand gently to end this awkward mood and said, "Anyway, Senior Su Qian. Can you please tell me about this Thousand Flame Refinement Ceremony?"

"Oh, also... By any chance, do you know anyone from the Fallen Orchid Sect?"

"If you do, please introduce that person to me." He added casually.

"That's a lot of questions, but okay..." Su Qian nodded while escorting them into the Jia Nan Academy.
