129: Shattered face, silent Hu Jun!

“Did I offend him?”

Xia Qi searched his memories and found he didn’t know this person at all.

Well, none of that mattered. He was tired and sleepy, and still had to find General Hu to turn in the quest.

He should hurry. Once it was done, he could go back and get some good sleep.

With the Teleportation Stone activated, Xia Qi ignored everyone and left the Home of Dungeons directly.

He wasn't a panda in a zoo; why would he like being stared at by so many people?

Sikong saw that Xia Qi completely ignored him, not giving him any face at all.

He was flushed with anger. How could he, the grandson of a Dean, be so disregarded?

Sikong roared at the accompanying West Wind Academy students, “Let’s go!”

After speaking, he used a Teleportation Stone to leave. The people who came with him looked bitter and also used Teleportation Stones to depart.

They had no face to stay there.

If they stayed any longer, they might completely lose the face of West Wind Academy.

In short, it was better not to come to the Home of Dungeons recently unless absolutely necessary.

It was truly embarrassing, uncomfortable, and made one want to cry.

“Hehe, those people finally left. West Wind Academy really lost a lot of face this time.”

“Tomorrow, this matter will spread throughout Shengjing. I wonder how West Wind Academy people will still have the nerve to act arrogant.”

“Haha, they came in high spirits and fled in disgrace. It really proves the saying, ‘Times have changed’.”

“Being high-profile isn’t scary, but being slapped in the face after being high-profile is. Big shot Xia Qi is truly amazing, he trampled West Wind Academy’s face to pieces.”

“Goodness, did you notice? When the big shot entered the dungeon, he was only level 24. Now he’s already level 25 at most.”

“Level 25 can solo a level 30 large dungeon. Is this something a human can do?”

“Big shot Xia Qi must have an SSS talent, otherwise how could he be so fierce?”

“Even with SSS talent, it’s not guaranteed that one can solo a large dungeon…”

The three girls were still on site, listening to everyone praise Xia Qi, and all smiled.

It was as if Xia Qi’s success made them happier than their own successes.

The three girls exchanged glances, a hint of complexity added to their eyes, and then they too left the Home of Dungeons.

After Xia Qi returned, he contacted General Hu immediately.

“What’s up? Is soloing too difficult? Do you want me to find you a team?”

On the phone, General Hu’s lazy voice rang out, sounding like he had just woken up.

Xia Qi said in a deep voice, “I got the fallen sword.”

“Oh, you got it.”

“What did you say?!”

The next moment, General Hu suddenly let out a strange cry.

“Kid, don’t joke with me. Say it again.”

“Saying it again still means I got the fallen sword.”

Xia Qi rolled his eyes, utterly speechless at General Hu.

General Hu immediately flipped over and got out of bed, instantly becoming energetic.

He hadn't expected Xia Qi to complete the quest so quickly; he had only given it to him this morning.

Now, not even a day had passed.

“Where are you now, kid?”

“Almost at the dorm.”

“Alright, then wait for me at your dorm entrance.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, his mobile also received a new message notification.

[Created a new record in the Fallen Land dungeon, gaining 10000 points and 30 academic credits. (Can only be obtained once)]

Seeing the message, Xia Qi smiled slightly.

The rewards for large dungeons were indeed generous; these thirty academic credits far exceeded the rewards of ordinary dungeons.

Too bad it could only be obtained once.

Xia Qi slowly walked to the dorm entrance, and soon, he saw General Hu’s figure.

Before he could even greet him, General Hu grabbed Xia Qi with one hand, and the two instantly disappeared.

General Hu used a Teleportation Stone to teleport with Xia Qi.

The next second, Xia Qi found himself outside a courtyard.

This was a small bamboo-fenced courtyard.

Located halfway up the mountain, it was ancient and elegant, surrounded by green bamboo, quiet and secluded.

It was currently night, with a silver moon in the sky, countless stars, and a gentle breeze occasionally blowing, making one feel comfortable and relaxed.

Such an elegant and unique place was enough to show the owner’s extraordinary Concept.

Xia Qi was slightly mesmerized; he quite liked this kind of environment.

“How about it? My house is pretty good, right?”

General Hu took in Xia Qi’s expression and showed a smug look.

“I didn’t expect you, who looks so rough, to have such refined taste.”

Xia Qi nodded fairly.

In this era of rampant monsters and Void Realm invasions, almost no one would live in the wilderness.

Everyone lived in cities, protected by city walls and armies, leading stable yet cage-like lives.

Presumably, only someone of General Hu’s level would dare to establish a residence in the wilderness.

“Don’t just stand there, come in first.”

General Hu chuckled, patted Xia Qi’s shoulder, and led him inside with large strides.

Passing through the courtyard, they didn't enter the house, but instead went around to the backyard.

In the backyard, stone carvings were everywhere, and in the center, there was a stone tea table.

At this time, a middle-aged man was already sitting at the tea table, boiling water and brewing tea.

The tea aroma was leisurely, and he could smell it from several meters away.

Looking at this middle-aged man, Xia Qi immediately felt awe.

He was gentle and refined, dressed in a green long robe, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, like a knowledgeable scholar.

He respectfully bowed, “Student Xia Qi greets Mr. Li.”

Li Wenjun, like the War Gods, was widely renowned; he was known to everyone in the Dragon Kingdom.

He was called one of the strongest professionals, a Divine-Grade Formation Grandmaster, Li Wenjun.

He was also referred to as Mr. Li by the younger generation.

He had made outstanding contributions to the Dragon Kingdom and, like the War Gods, his deeds were written into textbooks.

Xia Qi had taken cultural classes in high school and knew of his deeds.

Li Wenjun smiled and nodded, “Sit down, let’s have some tea.”

General Hu patted Xia Qi’s shoulder, “Treat it as your own home, don’t be so reserved. Take out the item.”

Xia Qi nodded, knowing General Hu was referring to the fallen sword, and took it out from his storage space, placing it on the table.

The sword blank was pitch black, yet it exuded a bloody and malevolent Qi.

Faintly, he could even hear sounds similar to a heart beating.

Li Wenjun only took one look and knew it was indeed the fallen sword without a doubt.

“Good, it’s been over three years since I last saw this item.”

Li Wenjun smiled and reached out, beginning to carefully feel the patterns on the sword blank.

General Hu looked at Xia Qi, “I still can’t believe you soloed this?”

“But I really did solo it.”

Xia Qi also smiled.

General Hu looked strange, staring intently at Xia Qi, “Then how did you clear it?”

Uh…

Xia Qi felt a bit speechless.

“How else could I clear it? I just cleared it…”

As his voice fell, all three fell silent.
