“Of course,” said Lin Zhifei in a matter-of-factly manner. “His Grace is one of the most outstanding students in the Ling Xiao Academy. Back then, His Grace was completely in the limelight in the academy. However, His Grace has rarely gone back these few years, so he has become much more low-key.

Even so, he’s still a very admirable existence in the Ling Xiao Academy.”

Chu Liuyue was slightly dazed. “He’s a student from there? But isn’t he from the Sky-Cloud Empire? Why didn’t he cultivate in the clan, but”—

Lin Zhifei then understood what Chu Liuyue had mistaken. He smiled slightly and explained, “Princess Consort, it seems like you don’t really understand Ling Xiao Academy. Even though it’s an academy, it definitely has its skills since it can be considered the top academy in the God Residence Realm.”

“Ling Xiao Academy has its history dating back from millions of years ago. It has a long heritage, and its foundation is deep. Even many aristocratic families might not be able to compare to it. There are many strong warriors in the mainland there who have very rich and rare resources. Hence, other than

those itinerant cultivators, there are also many descendants of aristocratic families that all want to enter Ling Xiao Academy to cultivate.”

“On the one hand, one can obtain Ling Xiao Academy’s systematic guidance and cultivation. On the other hand, Ling Xiao Academy’s students are all over the mainland, and many of them have deep relations with the academy. If you can successfully be a part of the academy, you can definitely expand your

connections.”

“Whichever aspect you look at it, being able to cultivate in Ling Xiao Academy is definitely a dream that many cultivators in the God Residence Realm will have,” said Lin Zhifei as he took a deep breath in.

There seemed to be ripples in his clear eyes. “It’s also mine.”

To the previous Lin Zhifei, this was a dream that he could only look at but could not touch. At that time, he had problems even going out, and he would always cough and struggle every time.

However, it was different now. He already had a healthy body, so… Ling Xiao Academy wasn’t so untouchable anymore!

Chu Liuyue could see his deep desire and expectation toward Ling Xiao Academy, and she felt rather curious. Lin Zhifei is quite nonchalant, and it’s rare to see him care so much about something. He didn’t really seem to care about the position of Grotto-Heaven Cliff Master, but when he brought up this

Ling Xiao Academy, his expression was completely different. Is that academy… really so amazing?

Chu Liuyue could not help but tease, “It seems like this Ling Xiao Academy is really great. You speak so highly of it, and even I want to go take a look at it now.”

Lin Zhifei’s eyes suddenly lit up as he straightened his body slightly and said, “It might be possible if you think of it in this way. With the abilities you currently show, you can definitely be accepted.”

No matter what, she is still a mere stage-seven warrior now. If what she said was really true and that she has no clan or family to depend on in the God Residence Realm, then… Ling Xiao Academy is the best place to go!

Chu Liuyue also thought of this. She squinted her eyes and started to ponder it seriously. “Your words do make sense…”

Other than her curiosity toward Rong Xiu, she could also go there to strengthen her cultivation and expand her connections. It was the best of both worlds.

Even though the Sky-Cloud Empire was also good, she felt that she was still restricted.

Once she thought of the few venerables that kept targeting her and Rong Xiu, Chu Liuyue felt frustrated.

It seemed rather inconvenient for her to do whatever she wanted. Here, as the princess consort, her every word and action was constantly being spied on.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue wanted to go check Ling Xiao Academy out!

“Til think about this,” said Chu Liuyue as she stood up. “As for you, if you want to go, just go ahead. However, don’t forget the agreement between us.”

Lin Zhifei nodded solemnly. “I’l definitely do my best to complete the task you’ve assigned me, Princess Consort.”

After Chu Liuyue returned to the bedroom, she started thinking about Ling Xiao Academy again.

Dugu Mobao saw that she seemed rather distracted, so he casually asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Chu Liuyue paused before asking, “Big Baby, have you heard of Ling Xiao Academy before?”

Dugu Mobao paused in his actions as he silently glanced at her. His pair of sinister-like purple eyes were deep and couldn’t be seen clearly. “I’ve heard of it before. Why did you suddenly bring it up?”

“Lwant to go and take a look at it.” Chu Liuyue didn’t hide her plans from Dugu Mobao. “I heard that if one can enter, it would be greatly beneficial to their cultivation.”

Dugu Mobao was expressionless. “Do you feel that I’m not enough to guide you?”

“Of course not!” Chu Liuyue glanced at him.

She naturally knew what an honor it was to have such a legendary warrior teach her personally! However, the academy and an individual were different.

“Ljust feel that it’s beneficial if I go to the academy. Since it could stay in the God Residence Realm for tens of thousands of years, it must be a very extraordinary existence… And…” Chu Liuyue paused for a moment. “And I just feel that I’m rather familiar with that place.”

Dugu Mobao looked down. Then, he said, “Up to you.”

Afterward, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “What did Rong Xiu say?”

Chu Liuyue waved her hand in response. “I have no plans of telling him this.”

Dugu Mobao looked up strangely.

However, Chu Liuyue blinked and looked normal as if she didn’t realize how strange her actions were.

She had an instinct that Rong Xiu seemed to be intentionally hiding something from her regarding Ling Xiao Academy. The more he did so, the more she wanted to take a look for herself.

Dugu Mobao kept quiet for a moment. “Quite a few people already know that you’re the Sky-Cloud Empire’s Princess Consort. Many of them have also seen your face. As long as one goes to ask around, they’ll know about you. You—”

“Who says that I’m going with this face?” Chu Liuyue laughed.

Dugu Mobao instantly understood. “You’ve already made up your mind?”

“En.” Chu Liuyue looked much more serious. “Other than the reasons I told you earlier, there’s also something else. Jun Jiuging seems to have a mentor there. My father is still in Jun Jiuging’s hands, and I still don’t know where he is being locked up. Perhaps… this could be a way.”

Actually, this was the most decisive factor.

At this point, Dugu Mobao finally nodded.

“However…” Chu Liuyue sized Big Baby up rather hesitantly. “Big Baby, your appearance is too obvious. Why don’t I find you a mask too—”

“You don’t have to care about this.” Dugu Mobao closed his eyes. “I’ll hide my identity on the way there. After we reach the academy… nobody will notice anything wrong.”

Rong Xiu came back at night.

Just as Chu Liuyue was hesitating on what excuse to find, Rong Xiu spoke first. “Yue’er, I suddenly have to go out for a while due to some matters. I’m afraid I can’t stay behind and accompany you for now.”

In actual fact, that side had already chased him for a long time. He really couldn’t delay it any longer, so he said this.

Chu Liuyue almost instantly guessed that it should be related to Ling Xiao Academy. “Then, I’ll focus on my cultivation during this period of time. I’ll wait for you..”
