Chapter 119: Meetings

Pills, talismans, formation disks, weapons, two inscribed robes, explosive beads and even a jade pendant.

Looking at the things, Lin Xiang felt a

complicated emotion in her heart.

’It seems I was not wrong. Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan have truly regarded me as a friend.’ She thought.

However, she couldn’t take their friendship for granted and carelessly accept so many things.

"Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan, this..." Lin Xiang started but Shen Xu stopped her.

"Don’t say anything, just accept everything. It’s what friends do for each other." Shen Xu said.

"I see. Thank you."

Although her words were simple, Lin Xiang kept their kindness in her heart.

Soon after, she left but Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan remained in the private box.

"I gave her so many things. Do you mind?" Shen Xu asked.

Hearing the question, Zhen Yuan smiled.

"There is nothing to mind."

"I originally thought Lin Xiang was a female cultivator who planned to use men to achieve her ends but I now know I was wrong. She is a good girl who had a rough start. Even without Song Wancheng around, I would like to remain friends." The double said.

"I know."

"You know?"

"The road to immortality is filled with hardships, deceit, and betrayal. It’s rare to meet a good friend. Since you like Lin Xiang, there is no reason to end the friendship just because Song Wancheng is not here."

"Okay." Shen Xu nodded and Zhen Yuan rubbed the double’s hair with a doting look.

From the beginning, Zhen Yuan never felt like he needed any relationships.

However, he was willing to accept the friends around his wife.

"Brother Yuan, do you think Song Wancheng is okay?" Shen Xu suddenly asked and Zhen Yuan looked at him with a meaningful expression before he spoke.

"Song Wancheng should have a soul lamp in the lamp hall of the Song family. We can go have a look if you want."

"This..." Shen Xu frowned.

Although he was worried about Song Wancheng, he didn’t want to take unnecessary risks.

After all, the Song family was a big clan and likely had a Nascent soul realm cultivator.

"Forget it." Shen Xu decisively refused.

"We will ask Song Wanqing when she comes of seclusion."

"Okay." Zhen Yuan smiled.

After that, the two returned to their room and secretly left the academy.

Several hours later, they met Manager Zhang and made a big trade.

At the same time, they asked about Song Wancheng but manager Zhang didn’t know many details.

All he knew was that the young master had suddenly left the Canglam continent.

When in Dragon City, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan snuck into th Shi family.

However, their goal was not to stir trouble but to retrieve the jade token the original owner hid in his courtyard.

Looking at the black token, Shen Xu had a complicated expression.

"What’s wrong?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"I don’t know why but I feel very attached to this token."

"It’s natural since it belongs to your father."

"I think it’s more than that." Shen Xu frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"When I meet Bai Guo, I sense familiarity and kinship but no nostalgia. This jade token makes me feel nostalgic. Like I want to meet its owner."

Hearing this, Zhen Yuan looked at Shen Xu with a thoughtful expression.

"When the time is right, you will definetely meet him." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.

After that, Shen Xu put the token in the Chaos Flame space and the two people returned to the academy.

One day later, Shen Xu received a message from Dongfang Jing.

"The academy dean wants to see us. " He said and Zhen Yuan immediately nodded.

Even if the dean didn’t send the message, Zhen Yuan planned to find them.

After all, the demon plants forest was about to open.

Before then, he had to collect enough resources to ensure Shen Xu and Yang Shi would smoothly advance.

’I hope Chen Yi won’t let me down.’ Zhen Yuan thought as he and Shen Xu walked to the academy dean’s courtyard.

When they arrived, Chen Yi let them inside.

Soon after, they arrived in the sitting room and Shen Xu sighed in relief.

’Fortunately, the dean is not in his usual disguise.’ He thought.

"Sit down." Dongfang Jing said and the two didn’t hesitate.

"You are aware that the demon plants forest is about to open?" He asked and the two nodded.

"The academy’s qualification competition has ended. However, I have registered both of you for the interacademy competition."

"Zhen Yuan will be in the Talisman competition and inscription competition. Shen Xu will be in the weapon refining competition."

"We have no problem with that." Shen Xu nodded.

In fact, they had already received the notice.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken it easy while the academy competition was going on.

"Each first place win represents ten places to enter the demon plants forest. If Zhen Yuan wins both competitions, you can have five places, excluding your own, to allocate as you wish."

"We understand." Shen Xu nodded with a happy smile.

At the moment, he and Zhen Yuan didn’t lack spirit stones.

However, if things went well, he and Yang Shi would advance to the golden core realm in the demon plants forest.

Although they would still have many spirit stones after the break through, Shen Xu couldn’t forget they would be on a merchant ship for the following ten years.

Considering that, he couldn’t wait to auction the extra places.

That way, he and Zhen Yuan would not lack spirit stones when they boarded the merchant ship.

After Dongfeng Jing finished his business, Chen Yi turned to Zhen Yuan.

"Here are the things you wanted." He said, throwing a storage bag to Zhen Yuan.

Instantaneously, Zhen Yuan caught the storage bag and immediately checked the contents.

"These are enough." He finally said and also threw a storage bag to Chen Yi.

"Pleasure doing business with you." Chen Yi chuckled.
