66: Did you hear that right? The elder called this boy senior?
Hu Gan felt displeased, his emotional value increased by 30.
“So it’s for the sake of the Heavenly Flame!”
Hu Gan’s brows furrowed, a hint of displeasure on his face.
This arrogant young man, who came from who-knows-where, disregarded the academy’s no-fly rule and directly barged in on a flying Demonic Beast.
The first thing he did was demand the very foundation of Jia Nan Academy, which would make anyone angry.
However, the next moment, his tightly furrowed brows were forced to relax, and his eyes were filled with shock.
Because, just as Gu Fei’s voice fell, he lowered his gaze slightly, and a fleeting, playful smile touched his lips, directly revealing his Dou Zong Realm Aura.
Hu Gan felt shocked, his emotional value increased by 30.
That immensely powerful and terrifying oppressive feeling, like facing a Vicious Beast, caused even Hu Gan’s body to stiffen, his expression to freeze, and his eyes to fill with shock, let alone those behind him whose Realm was far inferior to his.
This absolute, irresistible oppressive feeling made Hu Gan recall the two extremely mysterious guardians of Jia Nan Academy.
“This person’s Realm Aura seems even more terrifying than those two beings!”
The impression he had of the two Elders, Qian and Bai, one black and one white, with long hoods covering their faces, revealing only a chin and tightly pursed lips, was that their unfathomable Aura was something even Hu Gan had never dared to probe their true strength.
He only remembered that each time the library was opened, the brief appearance of the two Elders, Qian and Bai, left a profound impression on him every time.
However, when it came to the profoundness of their Qi and their oppressive power, the two Elders, Qian and Bai, couldn’t compare in the slightest to this mysterious young man before him.
Such a powerful individual must have at least reached the Peak of the Dou Zong Realm, and it was even highly possible that he had already stepped into the Dou Zun Realm… Hu Gan’s gaze became a few shades more serious, and his tone became courteous, showing great respect.
Hu Gan felt respect, his emotional value increased by 30.
Facing such a powerful individual, he dared not be negligent, nor did he dare to inquire further about Gu Fei.
Instead, he asked with a very solemn attitude: “Senior, have you come here just to observe the Heavenly Flame?”
Among those who Cultivate, the strong are always revered.
Even though Hu Gan was in his prime, and Gu Fei appeared to be just a young man, he dared not underestimate Gu Fei in the slightest.
With such a respectful attitude, even addressing Gu Fei as Senior, everyone present, including Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin behind him, did not find anything amiss.
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Fei spoke directly.
“If the Heavenly Flame satisfies me, I will naturally take it away… Of course, I will not let the academy suffer a loss; I will make some compensation at that time, and its value will not be lower than the Heavenly Flame!”
If Hu Gan had not been clear about Gu Fei’s strength, he would have been enraged by these words.
That Heavenly Flame was the lifeblood of Jia Nan Academy.
But having just sensed Gu Fei’s Aura, Hu Gan knew that facing a powerful individual like Gu Fei, he wouldn’t even entertain the thought of resisting.
Otherwise, he would only die a miserable death.
However, at this moment, as the Head of the Outer Academy, Hu Gan was acutely aware of the importance of the Heavenly Flame to Jia Nan Academy.
Hu Gan felt hesitant, his emotional value increased by 30.
Therefore, at this moment, he almost gritted his teeth, hesitated for a long time, and then, steeling himself, spoke to Gu Fei: “Senior, this matter is of great importance. May I ask for some time for us to discuss it? Senior can rest in Canaan City for now.”
The Heavenly Flame was simply too important to Jia Nan Academy.
If necessary, Jia Nan Academy could even risk offending a powerful individual who had at least reached the Peak of the Dou Zong Realm for the sake of the Heavenly Flame.
“Then I’ll give you two days! In two days, I hope to receive a satisfactory reply.”
Gu Fei was not in a hurry and replied proactively.
After all, the Heavenly Flame was always locked up there and couldn’t run away, so there was no need for him to act overly aggressive.
Subsequently, the Lion King, following Gu Fei’s command, flew alone to the outskirts of Peace Town and found a suitable place to temporarily stay.
Gu Fei himself, along with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, who were clearly curious about the place, entered Canaan City.
Before leaving, Hu Gan respectfully asked: “Senior, do you need an Elder from the academy to accompany you?”
Gu Fei faintly shook his head, then took a step forward.
“Big Brother Gu Fei, this Canaan City truly lives up to its name as the birthplace of the continent’s oldest academy. Just its reputation alone attracts countless people here.”
Walking on the wide street paved with bluestone, the surging crowd and the happy smiles on people’s faces, bustling everywhere, made Xiao Yi Xian unable to help but exclaim in admiration.
She widened her eyes, curiously looking around.
This extraordinary popularity surpassed even the imperial capital of the Jia Ma Empire, which she had visited before.
On the city streets, vendors could be seen everywhere, enthusiastically shouting to welcome customers.
In this city, merchants could conduct their business legitimately, without worrying about being robbed like in other parts of the Black-Corner Region; it was very safe.
However, as they gradually approached the center of Canaan City, the stalls on a nearby street were noticeably different from those on other streets.
Perhaps because of its proximity to Jia Nan Academy, most of the stalls on this street displayed items such as Dou Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, and so on.
“I wonder what kind of scene it is inside this academy!”
Xiao Yi Xian stood in the center of the street, her gaze reaching the ancient academy gate, and curiosity arose in her heart.
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian’s lingering gaze, Gu Fei shook his head with a chuckle, then led her and Qing Lin towards the gate.
There were guards at the main gate of the Outer Academy, and when the student guards saw the three strangers, Gu Fei, they were about to stop them.
“Wait!”
A voice suddenly rang out from behind. The student looked back and saw that it was an Elder from the Outer Academy.
Then, he watched with his own eyes as the Elder very naturally led Gu Fei into the Inner Academy.
“Senior, this way, please.”
The Outer Academy student felt surprised, his emotional value increased by 1.
“This, did I hear that right? Elder Mu just called that young man Senior?”
This scene made the student guarding the gate drop his jaw, never expecting that an Elder from the Outer Academy would actually call a young man Senior?
Gu Fei unhurriedly followed behind the Outer Academy Elder, swaggering in, completely ignoring the surprised gazes of the student guards beside him.
Xiao Yi Xian caught a glimpse of the person’s flustered appearance and let out a chuckle.
Qing Lin, on the other hand, hadn’t reacted yet, looking at her somewhat blankly, then obediently followed behind Gu Fei, widening her pair of emerald snake pupils, curiously looking around.
As soon as they entered the Outer Academy, Gu Fei spoke to the Elder: “No need to lead us further; we’ll just look around.”
Being accompanied by an Outer Academy Elder would make them the center of attention wherever they went.
Gu Fei wasn’t afraid of others’ gazes, but it would indeed affect their sightseeing.
