An Zheng carried Xiao Qidao as he stood at the entrance of the Tianqi Martial School, watching Tie Liuhuo encircle the Phantom Institute so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out. An Zheng didn't know what kind of story existed between the Lady Ye and Mu Changyan, but the moment Lady Ye rushed out of An Zheng's embrace, he knew that this was probably the most captivating story in the world, called life and death together.

However, what happened next surprised An Zheng. Mu Changyan leisurely walked out from Phantom Institute, with Lady Ye following right beside him. The general that was led by Tie Liuhuo jumped down from his warhorse, walked in front of Mu Changyan and bent down slightly before smiling: "I thought you were still going to hide here. I've searched through the sixteen states of Youlan, who would have thought that you would actually submit to me in this kind of place."

Mu Changyan said: "After I left the Great Yan, I no longer have anything to do with the Great Yan, what are you looking for me for?"

The general said, "In the end, you are still someone with the surname Mu. In the end, you are still of the royal family of Great Yan.

Mu Changyan pointed to the academy. "I belong here."

The general said: "Compared to Great Yan, what is this place? If you want to establish a school, you can do it in the capital of Great Yan. Before I came, Her Majesty said, If you do not go back, you will not want to go back. She said, Let all your reluctance be gone, and you came back. As you know, the empress dowager has always been decisive in her actions. "

Mu Changyan thought for a while, then asked: "What if I don't leave?"

The general replied, "Here, not a single blade of grass grows."

Mu Changyan then said, "I have never been at odds with the empress dowager, and she was not the one who gave birth to me. Why are you looking for me?"

The general said, "Because you're the only one suitable for the moment."

Mu Changyan thought for a moment, then replied: "Alright, I can go back then. However, I have a condition that all the students in this academy must have the qualifications to enter the Great Yan in four years. "

The general said, "If you go back, isn't that your problem?"

Mu Changyan acknowledged: "Then I'll go back, right..."

Mu Changyan pointed to the Martial Arts Academy side. "There are a few children there, and we have a bet. Every six months, the most outstanding disciples of both sides would be selected to compete. The victor would be the primary victor, while the loser would be the slave. After I leave, this academy cannot fall down. As a person, one must have integrity. Since there is such a gamble, it cannot be scrapped. No matter who the academy's Principal is in the future, they must abide by the agreement. "

The general said: "My assistant general Qiu Changchen will stay behind and become the principal of Phantom Institute, how about it?"

Mu Changyan nodded: "Qiu Changchen has a calm personality, he can stay."

"Then let's go."

The general pointed to a chariot belonging to the Iron Stream Society and said, "Please return, young master."

Mu Changyan dragged Lady Ye and got on the chariot together.

In the martial academy, Xiao Qidao asked with red eyes, "Big brother An Zheng, does mother not want me anymore?"

An Zheng shook his head: "Qi Dao, you must believe in one thing, never doubt it... Your mother loves you. Her current choice seems very cruel to you, but there must be some unspeakable difficulties. There must be a reason why she didn't take you with her. You also heard that four years from now, as long as we win against the disciples of the academy, we can go to the capital of the Great Yan and meet your mother. "

Xiao Qidao nodded with all his might: "I will!"

Tie Liuhuo protected the chariot as it drove off. An armored assistant general brought along thirty Tie Liuhuo cavalry soldiers and stayed behind. The deputy general called Qiu Changchen first carefully sized up Phantom Institute, then turned around to look at the martial academy side. When they saw the broken academy and An Zheng and the few other lonely children, they could not help but laugh. Then, he muttered to himself, "Mu Changyan, who was called a madman in the Great Yan, actually got angry with a few children ? "Interesting."

Within the war chariot, in the middle of the advancing convoy. Mu Changyan tightly held onto Lady Ye's hand, and then sent a sound transmission to his ear. "I know you're feeling very sad, but your choice is correct. Once the people of the Great Yan knew that Xiao Qidao was his blood and bone, then Xiao Qidao would be in danger. Now, come back with me. They can't hurt you with me protecting you. Furthermore, they did not know that Xiao Qidao's existence was the safest for him. Believe me, in four years, I will definitely think of a way to have Xiao Qidao go to the capital. "

Lady Ye also held Mu Changyan's hand tightly, his eyes were pitiful. "In the end, you and him won't be able to escape this sort of fate."

Inside the Tianqi Martial School, An Zheng took a deep breath, then waved his hand: "Get our courtyard cleaned up first, there's only half a year left before we have to compete with the people from the academy who have been cultivating for a long time. Anything could be lost, nothing could be lost. Not only do we have to win, we also have to keep winning. "

"Work!"

The few of them started to get busy, and soon, they were in full swing. After a while, Mad Qu came with a horse carriage, bringing all of his belongings over. He purposely ignored Qu Liuer with a cold face, but everyone knew that Mad Qu was still unwilling to part with him.

Although Qu Liuer was shy, one could tell that he was very happy. She and Mad Qu were mutually dependent on each other. Now that Mad Qu had moved here, how could she not be happy?

When the gatekeeping Old Huo returned, he brought many craftsmen that he had hired along with him and joined the ranks of repairing the Tianqi Martial School. When Old Huo saw those kids craftsmen, he could not help but turn around and wipe the corner of his eyes, "It's been a long time since this Martial Arts Academy has been so lively."

On the morning of the second day, An Zheng found a few [Beginner] cultivation art s to cultivate in the academy. These things were not precious, so he could still find them in the Library s of the academy. Most of the books in the Library had already been moved to the opposite side of the hall. In this huge four-story library, there were not even a hundred books. However, for those of Du Shoushou, Qu Liuer and the others who were just about to cultivate, they would not need any books that were too complicated or difficult to understand.

Outside the Library's entrance, An Zheng saw a large, pitch-black stone that looked like a huge inkstone. The middle part was caved in, like a small pond. On one side of the cave, there was a circle with a diameter of about 20 centimeters. It was bright red in color, in stark contrast to the inkstone.

"I didn't expect that there would be a Nine Stars Station in this dojo."

He mumbled to himself, but when he turned around, he found the gatekeeping Old Huo standing there, looking at him with a hunched back.

"You actually recognized Nine Stars Station."

The Old Huo was a little surprised: "The previous city lord was a military man, so they built a martial institution. This time, city lord was a scholar, which was why they built the academy opposite of them. These people in exile all had the heart of a President. Do you think that just because you built a dojo or school and took in a group of children, you can satisfy your vanity? However, the Nine Stars Station was broken when it was moved here, the martial artist was rough, he did not know how to light it, so he casually threw it into the yard, causing a hole to appear, and was no longer able to use it. Afterwards, he had snatched another one from who knows where, but this one was discarded here. Therefore, after the opposite side of the academy was built, that good Nine Stars Station was moved away.

An Zheng squinted as he looked at Old Huo, "Senior, I believe you are not an ordinary person."

Old Huo laughed: "At least you have good eyesight, you are mistaken ?." I am just an ordinary person, just that I have heard a bit about your cultivator. Back then, that martial arts man loved to drink, but I was the only one who had the same alcohol tolerance as him. He said the fairest thing in the world was that people looked the same. If they did not make a move, no one knew who would win. Therefore, when the Martial Arts Academy accepts disciples, they cannot leave this Nine Stars Station. "

Old Huo said: "Wu Fu said that this Nine Stars Station can measure a person's potential. As long as one placed their hands on the red circle, those who could cultivate would light up their hexagram. The better the potential, the more stars light up. However, among the people in the world, there was never a person who was able to light up nine stars to eight stars, and he was already an unparalleled genius. Ten years in the Martial Arts Academy, the best disciple lit up three stars. "

An Zheng nodded: "That's right, there are indeed very few people that can light up nine stars."

He turned around and looked at Du Shoushou and the others, waving his hand: "Come and try."

When Du Shoushou and the others heard An Zheng explain the Nine Stars Station, they asked, "If it's bad, how do I test it?"

An Zheng said, "How is it bad? The Nine Stars Station is made of meteoric iron, if it was that easy to break, it wouldn't be expensive. Although the Nine Stars Station had split open, the star core was still there. The warrior only knew about the uses of Nine Stars Station, but did not know how to use Nine Stars Station ? Fatty, take out a piece of low rank spirit stone and put it at the crack. "

Du Shoushou took out a piece of low rank spirit stone and placed it at the opening of the Nine Stars Station. Just as he put the low rank spirit stone on, a dark light lit up on the Nine Stars Station, and in that moment, the Spiritual Energy inside the low rank spirit stone was sucked dry. Then, the cracks on the Nine Stars Station actually slowly closed and disappeared.

Du Shoushou's face was filled with pain. "Several tens of thousands of silver, gone just like that."

An Zheng laughed: "Stingy, I will compensate you in the future."

Du Shoushou muttered to himself as he walked: "After tens of thousands of silver is enough to repair you, you cannot act shamelessly. "No, no, no. The silver is my loss. You have to get me a 9-star master teacher."

Then, he placed his palm on the red round center of the Nine Stars Station. The moment his palm touched the Nine Stars Station, a wave of power was released from within the Nine Stars Station. In an instant, the dust on the Nine Stars Station was wiped clean. Nine hexagram appeared on top of the Nine Stars Station, forming a straight line. Fatty placed his hand on the center of the circle. Then, a speck of red light began to move upwards. After a moment, it lit up a star. Then, the red light paused for a while before continuing to go upwards. It lit up half of the second star point and it no longer had the strength to go upwards anymore.

"One and a half stars."

Du Shoushou felt a little regretful: "Looks like I'm indeed not suited to cultivate. This is probably the worst physique that I have."

Old Huo laughed at the side: "Not counted, not counted, the worst is a half star."

"I'll try."

Qu Liuer walked forward. At this time, she was still wearing the clothes of a boy, but in front of An Zheng and the others, it was already much more natural. Actually, once a girl was ten years old, it would be hard to hide it even if she wanted to. Those rumored female heroes who went around the country disguised as men's clothes, think carefully about why they succeeded. Perhaps there were only two answers, one of which was how to flatten the world. One was that everyone else was pretending to be blind.

Qu Liuer was actually not her real name. She told Mad Qu her surname, Mad Qu said her real name was Liuxi.

Qu Liuer's hands were very pretty, white and clean, slender and long. She placed her hand on the center of the circle, the red light was much stronger than Du Shoushou's. In just a moment, the red light had broken through three stars and slowed down. After slowly lighting up the fourth hexagram, they moved up and down. Qu Liuer seemed to be very satisfied, and her face was slightly flushed. After all, Old Huo had said that the most outstanding disciples in the dojo were only at most three stars.

When it was Xiao Qidao's turn, he was a little nervous. Xiao Qidao was actually quite natural. He twisted his little butt and walked over, then opened his arms for Du Shoushou to hug his hands and place them on the round center. Then a dazzling red light appeared. Everyone present couldn't help but open their eyes wide.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven ?

"He really is a peerless genius."

An Zheng suddenly walked over and picked Xiao Qidao up: "Seven stars, amazing."

Because it was only Du Shoushou and An Zheng in front of him, no one else saw that the red light had not stopped. Du Shoushou was startled, he did not know why An Zheng stopped him, but he knew that An Zheng definitely had his reasons for doing so, so he did not reveal it.

"An Zheng, why don't you try?"

Qu Liuer looked at An Zheng and asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Me?"

An Zheng laughed: "Forget about me, of course I'm a genius, at least I'm not worse than Xiao Qidao."

After he finished, he carried Xiao Qidao and left, not even looking back.

That night, when everyone was asleep, An Zheng came to the side of the Nine Stars Station alone. In the end, he was still unable to hold back and gave it a try ? Half a star.
