461: Life in this world, peace and joy

After a short while.

The servant carried all ten jars of fuso wine over.

Xie Weilou looked at the wine jars on the table, then at the servant: "Little brother, do you know where the Tai Academy is located?"

The servant said earnestly: "The Tai Academy is on Beishan, north of the city."

"Many thanks!"

Xie Weilou waved his hand, putting away the ten jars of fine wine on the table. He did not leave immediately but continued to savor the wine.

The servant said: "Honored guest, if you need anything, just call me anytime."

"Mhm!"

Xie Weilou nodded.

Just then.

A charming woman in a pink long dress with a pair of watery eyes entered the inn. Her gaze fell on Xie Weilou, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.

"Greetings, Princess!"

When Ji Yuan and the servant saw this woman, they quickly stepped forward to salute her.

"Mhm!"

The woman in the pink dress waved her hand lightly. She walked towards Xie Weilou, a strange look in her eyes. She found that she could not discern this person's cultivation.

"Hello, my name is Ji Fugui!"

Ji Fugui raised her fair chin and spoke to Xie Weilou.

"I am Xie Wushi!"

Xie Weilou chuckled.

The woman in front of him, at the Tuojiang Realm Peak, was not particularly strong, but considering her age of seventeen or eighteen, such cultivation was quite good.

Fugui?

That's an interesting name. If it were a man, it wouldn't matter, but for a woman to have such a name, her parents must be quite amusing.

Ji Fugui seemed to know what Xie Weilou was thinking. She said earnestly: "In life, great wealth and nobility are the best. This is what my father said, so he is very noble! My name is Ji Fugui."

Xie Weilou shook his head: "Wrong! In life, peace and joy, and good health are the best."

"Mmm... that seems to make some sense."

Ji Fugui paused for a second, then nodded gently. Peace and joy, and good health, were indeed the best.

However, she did not dwell on this question but said: "I am a disciple of the Tai Academy. Are you going to the Tai Academy? It just so happens that I am also going to the Tai Academy. Today is the Tai Academy's enrollment. If you want to participate in the assessment, I can give you a ride there."

Xie Weilou drank the remaining wine from the flask, stood up, and said: "Then many thanks, Miss Fugui."

A smile appeared on Ji Fugui's face: "It's nothing! I'm very pragmatic. I just see that you are unfathomable and believe that you will definitely be able to enter the Tai Academy, so I plan to make friends with you, which is why I'll take you to the Tai Academy."

"Quite honest! But I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to become a person of the Tai Academy."

Xie Weilou chuckled wryly.

"It's fine! If your strength is truly great, entering the Tai Academy will definitely not be a problem."

Ji Fugui said earnestly.

Xie Weilou extended his hand: "Miss Fugui, please lead the way."

"Hahaha! Come with me."

Ji Fugui put her hands on her hips, blinked her eyes, and walked out of the building.

"......"

Xie Weilou walked behind her with his hands clasped behind his back.

Soon after the two left.

An old man with white hair, dressed in coarse gray cloth, entered the Eastern Tower. He looked around, a nostalgic expression in his eyes.

"Brother, what would you like to drink?"

When Ji Yuan saw the old man, he immediately came forward to greet him warmly.

The old man was Ji Jiu.

He said in a gentle voice: "Give me a pot of fuso wine!"

Saying that, he found a seat and sat down.

Not long after.

The fine wine was served.

Ji Jiu poured a cup, took a sip, and murmured to himself: "It's still the same taste as before! When the sun rises, it illuminates my threshold, O fuso; if you do not go, who will remain in the central continent? That little fellow, he could indeed discern the true essence of this wine..."

When he brewed this wine back then, wasn't this exactly how he felt?

Alas, a thousand years have passed, things have changed, what is gone will eventually be gone, he cannot wait for old friends, and old friends cannot wait for him.

Beishan, two thousand meters high, covered by a large formation, shrouded in clouds and mist, illuminated by the Fuguang, with colorful lights appearing. One could faintly see cranes dancing, and numerous pavilions in the mountain, like a fairyland on earth.

Below Beishan.

There was a plaza, and currently, many young people were gathered there, with some Tai Academy disciples and elders standing in front.

Today, the Tai Academy would have an assessment. Next, identity tokens needed to be distributed for the young people to undergo the preliminary examination.

Ji Fugui led Xie Weilou forward. She said sweetly: "This is the assessment location. Now, just line up and collect your token diligently! As long as you pass the assessment, you can enter the Tai Academy. I look forward to being your senior sister."

Xie Weilou looked at Ji Fugui: "You are a Princess, from which princely manor are you?"

Ji Fugui said with a serious expression: "Dongling Marquis Manor!"

Her father, the Marquis of Dongling, was a Dragon Transformation Realm expert.

"Never heard of it."

Xie Weilou chuckled wryly.

"......"

Ji Fugui's face was full of speechlessness. You haven't even heard of the great name of the Marquis of Dongling? Are you even from Great Zhou?

"Never mind! If you haven't heard, then you haven't heard! Anyway, my father isn't a good person either. I'm going to the Tai Academy first."

Ji Fugui waved her hand, summoned a flying boat, and was about to ascend the mountain.

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently. He walked towards a Dao Repository Realm elder in front: "I am Xie Wushi. I have an appointment with Li Xuankong and have come here to have a drink with him."

Upon hearing this, the elder's eyes showed surprise, and he quickly cupped his fists and bowed: "So you are Xie Wushi! Li Xuankong has given instructions that if you came, you could directly enter the Tai Academy. I will take you up."

It was said that this Xie Wushi could crush three Profound Phase Realm Peak experts with a flick of his finger, definitely a Dragon Transformation Realm expert.

Such a person wanting to enter the Tai Academy, and with Li Xuankong's invitation, naturally no one dared to stop him.

"Much obliged!"

Xie Weilou cupped his fists.

The elder quickly summoned a flying boat: "Please!"

Xie Weilou stepped onto the flying boat.

Whoosh!

The elder waved his sleeve, and the flying boat shot upwards.

"This... what is this person's background? The elder actually sent him up directly?"

The disciples who were collecting identity tokens showed astonished expressions. They still had to queue up to collect identity tokens and participate in the assessment, and only by passing the assessment could they enter the Tai Academy.

But now, someone had directly bypassed the assessment and was even led by an elder, which made people feel surprised.

A Tai Academy disciple said in a deep voice: "Silence! You need to understand one thing: some people come here not for assessment. Perhaps they are already strong individuals and are just here to visit friends!"

"Visiting friends? That's normal."

Everyone showed a look of realization. Strong individuals coming to visit friends were naturally different from them, the examinees.

"This guy..."

Ji Fugui looked at Xie Weilou's back with an astonished expression. He just went up so smoothly?

And he was even personally led by an elder?

This guy might not have even come for the assessment.

No wonder he said he was afraid it would be difficult to become a person of the Tai Academy. It really makes one curious.

"I want to see what's so extraordinary about him."

Ji Fugui mumbled, then took her flying boat and rushed upwards...
