Chapter 1633 - 1598: Return to Wuji Academy

Early the next morning, at nine o'clock, when Yang Xiao arrived at the valley, he could see Gai Shaoying from afar.

"Senior, you're here."

"Did you inform your family?"

"Yes."

"Alright, follow me."

Yang Xiao's figure flashed, soaring into the sky.

Gai Shaoying was only at King Level advanced realm, and although he could fly, his speed was worlds apart from Yang Xiao's.

Yang Xiao deliberately tested him, maintaining a certain speed to fly forward.

Gai Shaoying exerted all his strength, desperately chasing after Yang Xiao.

From Nolan Ancient City to the Wuheng Clan Capital City, it was over three thousand kilometers. Yang Xiao could fly it alone in about half an hour, but Gai Shaoying struggled.

Gai Shaoying barely managed to fly a thousand kilometers and was too exhausted, with significant Qi depletion.

Yang Xiao had to stop and find a small town to rest overnight before continuing the next day.

On the third day, they finally arrived at the Wuheng Clan Capital City.

This was Gai Shaoying's first visit to the Wuheng Clan Capital City. Seeing this metropolis of ten million people, he was deeply shaken by the vast difference in prosperity compared to Nolan Ancient City.

"I used to hear that the capital city of the top ten clans was prosperous, but seeing it now, it's even more splendid than I imagined."

Yang Xiao laughed:

"Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, staying at home for cultivation isn't enough. You should go out more often to broaden your horizons. Now you understand why, after Yezi went to the Blood Wolf Clan's capital city, she no longer wanted to return to your Nolan Ancient City, right?"

Gai Shaoying lowered his head, silent.

Although he resented Yezi, the reality was a stark and overwhelming confrontation.

"Senior, where are you planning to take me? Is it here?"

"Have you heard of Wuji Island?"

Gai Shaoying nodded, saying,

"Isn't there a Wuji Academy on Wuji Island?"

"You even know about Wuji Academy?"

"Of course, my father once said he wanted to send me to study at Wuji Academy, but later,"

Gai Shaoying stopped speaking.

To enter Wuji Academy, one must have good talent and also a lot of money.

Given Gai Shaoying's situation, sending him there would be a waste of money, so his father no longer considered sending him to study at Wuji Academy.

After dinner, Yang Xiao and Gai Shaoying rested overnight at an inn. The next morning, they used the Transmission Array in Wuheng Clan Capital City to arrive at Wuji Academy.

Yang Xiao still had his identity jade token for Wuji Academy.

When Xing Zhe returned to Wuji Academy earlier, Yang Xiao had asked him to get a long leave on his behalf, and as for the villa being kept, he wasn't sure, but the identity jade token should still be usable.

Yang Xiao took out his Wuji Academy identity jade token and swiped it at the Defensive Light Curtain Gate.

With a "swish," the gate opened.

Gai Shaoying was startled, saying,

"So the senior is a lecturer at Wuji Academy?"

"I'm no lecturer, just a student."

Yang Xiao led Gai Shaoying to the security guard at the entrance to arrange a temporary entry identity jade token.

Upon entering Wuji Academy, Yang Xiao first went to find Xing Zhe, but Xing Zhe had already returned to his clan, as Yang Xiao had left here more than a year ago.

Yang Xiao then took Gai Shaoying to meet the academy's Vice Dean Deng.

Seeing Yang Xiao, Vice Dean Deng was initially stunned, then promptly rose and bowed respectfully to Yang Xiao.

"Ah, Vice Dean Deng, you're the dean, and I'm your student. What are you doing? You shouldn't flatter me like this."

"Greetings, Elder Yang!"

Vice Dean Deng called out respectfully.

According to the regulations on the dwarf star, the Divine Hall oversees the entire dwarf star, and Wuji Academy is also under the Divine Hall's governance. While it doesn't fall under direct jurisdiction, the Divine Hall doesn't intervene directly in Wuji Academy's affairs, but nominally, the Divine Hall is indeed the highest governing body of the dwarf star,

As an elder of the Divine Hall, wherever you go, you're respected by others.

Gai Shaoying stood aside, seeing the grand deputy dean of Wuji Academy bowing to his senior, who looked about thirty years old, felt like a stone was lodged in his heart.

Over the past few days, Gai Shaoying had guessed Yang Xiao's identity countless times, never dreaming that Yang Xiao was actually a Divine Hall elder.

For the people of the dwarf star, the Divine Hall is akin to a god.

Gai Shaoying's legs trembled.

Not just Gai Shaoying, but even Vice Dean Deng had complex feelings as well.

As a newly appointed Divine Hall elder, Yang Xiao's status was quickly notified to various empires, clans, and institutional organizations.

As a renowned cultivation school on the dwarf star, Wuji Academy naturally received notifications from the Divine Hall too.

When Vice Dean Deng and others saw the notification, they were dumbfounded one by one.

Yang Xiao turned out to be a Divine Hall elder? That's too incredible!

No matter what, this was Wuji Academy's pride and honor, the academy even held a meeting to convey this event, lavishly praising Yang Xiao and portraying him as a model of diligence, perseverance, and keen learning, calling on all teachers and students to learn from Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao didn't notice there was a statue of him in the academy square.

Yang Xiao hurriedly supported Vice Dean Deng, humbly said:

"Vice Dean Deng, thank you for the academy's nurturing. Whatever I become as Yang Xiao, I will always be your student, a student of Wuji Academy, before you, I have only one identity, and that is a student."

Vice Dean Deng laughed heartily and said:

"Good, humble, I like it!

Yang Xiao, how come you thought of returning to your alma mater? Just passing by by chance?"

"Vice Dean Deng, I've returned for a reason this time, and I'd like your help. I plan to stay for about three months, and also, this is my nephew, can you give him a chance to enroll in Wuji Academy?"

"Yang Xiao, you can stay as long as you like, I've kept your villa for you and haven't rented it to anyone else. In future, it'll be preserved as your former residence, as a relic of Wuji Academy."

Yang Xiao felt a sense of "death" listening to this.

"This is your nephew, right? No problem."

Vice Dean Deng immediately called an assistant over, asking him to take Gai Shaoying to register, while he pulled Yang Xiao aside for chatting over tea.

"I've already sent someone to notify the dean to join us for dinner tonight."

Yang Xiao knew he couldn't refuse, and could only happily accept the invitation.

Gai Shaoying followed the assistant like a bewildered person throughout the registration process, holding his Wuji Academy identity jade token, he couldn't believe it was real.

The Wuji Academy he dreamt of entering, he entered so easily.

After all procedures were completed, Yang Xiao took Gai Shaoying to his villa number 68.

This villa was later seized by Mei Lan, but once Yang Xiao became a Divine Hall elder, the academy reclaimed the villa, preserving it as "Yang Xiao's Former Residence."

Yang Xiao entered villa number 68, finding everything arranged just as it was when he lived there.

"There's a Genetic Evolution Energy Spring Water in the backyard, soak in it for two hours."

Upon hearing this, Gai Shaoying ran to the backyard, undressed, and jumped in.

For Gai Shaoying, it was like a poor person suddenly walking into a treasury; all the cultivation resources here greatly surpassed those in Nolan City by dozens, even hundreds, of times.

Yang Xiao walked to the edge of the spring and calmly said:

"Remember, from today on, I will formulate a strict cultivation program and schedule for you, and you must strictly adhere to my requirements without slacking off, understand?"

Gai Shaoying looked at Yang Xiao, excited and firm, saying:

"Senior, I won't even let out a single complaint, even if it costs me a life."

"If you can't hold on any longer, just think about Yezi's withdrawal from the engagement!"
