Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1446
1443. Chapter 1443 Xi Chan’s Story
Under Guo Jiufeng’s arrangement, Li Luo and his group found a place to stay and rest in the tower area of Eastern Region Shenzhou.
“By the way, Vice President Guo Jiufeng, is Shengguang Ancient Academy in the inner city of Tianjing City? If I want to look for someone, how should I go?” After settling everyone, Li Luo asked Guo Jiufeng again.
“Holy Light Ancient Academy? You want to find Jiang Qing’e, right?”
Guo Jiufeng understood immediately after hearing this, and then he sighed: “Jiang Qing’e is now quite famous in the Heavenly Mirror Tower. She is already ranked in the top 20 on the Heavenly Mirror List.”
“Tian Jing Ranking? What is that?” Li Luo asked puzzledly.
“The Heavenly Mirror Tower gathers many geniuses and mentors from the Academy Alliance. They practice hard here all year round, and the Academy Alliance holds a monthly competition to hone their skills. The Heavenly Mirror Ranking is a ranking. As far as I know, Jiang Qing’e has defeated many famous mentors in the few short months since she came to the Heavenly Mirror Tower. At the same time, she has been promoted to the top 20 of the Heavenly Mirror Ranking at the fastest speed.”
Guo Jiufeng said with some regret: “It’s a pity, if Jiang Qing’e was also in your Shengxuanxing Academy’s team, then our Dongyu Shenzhou’s first place in the outer Shenzhou this time would be almost effortless.”
Jiang Qing’e is now an unparalleled third-grade warrior. Her fighting ability is so strong that even Guo Jiufeng is in awe of her.
Li Luo smiled and said, “For a mere dispute over the Divine Land Holy Academy, there is no need for Sister Qing’e to intervene. I am enough.”
Guo Jiufeng smiled. Li Luo was of the unparalleled second rank, and naturally he was extremely talented. However, in the Tianjing Tower, the difference in rank between him and Jiang Qing’e had a significant impact.
At the very least, Jiang Qing’e, who was of the unparalleled third rank, had defeated several well-known seventh rank marquis mentors.
“You don’t need to look for Jiang Qing’e these two days. The Sky Mirror Tower is about to open, and the teams from the four ancient academies are all undergoing intensive training. If you go to the inner city now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find her.”
“Wait three days, when the Tianjing Conference begins, all the teams will show up and you will naturally meet her,” Guo Jiufeng suggested.
Hearing this, Li Luo had to temporarily suppress his longing in his heart and nodded in agreement.
Guo Jiufeng said goodbye and left.
Li Luo turned and entered the green building. He did not go to rest, but went to Teacher Xi Chan’s room. He knocked on the door politely, and waited until someone came in to invite him in before pushing the door open.
When Li Luo entered the room, he saw Teacher Xi Chan standing by the window, her beautiful eyes gazing absentmindedly at Tianjing City. At this moment, she took off the veil covering her cheeks, revealing her fair, cold and pretty face.
And on her fair and delicate profile, there was a black curse mark, which looked like a black fish with its tail swaying slightly, as if it were a living thing.
The fitted hospital uniform wrapped around her slender and delicate body, extending her charming curves, while also fully displaying her intellectual and elegant temperament.
Teacher Xi Chan turned her head, looked at Li Luo, and said with a smile: “I haven’t thanked you for what happened today.”
What she was talking about was naturally the Xi Chi and his group that she had met before.
Li Luo said sincerely: “During the Luolan Mansion’s Mansion Festival, you stopped the Lord of Lanling Mansion for us, and you would rather resign as a tutor in the academy. This kindness is enough for me to remember for the rest of my life.”
Looking at Li Luo’s eyes full of sincere emotions, Teacher Xi Chan was also somewhat relieved, and then whispered: “Do you want to ask about the Xi family?”
“Teacher, you also know my current strength and background. The so-called Xi family poses no threat to me.” Li Luo said.
Xi Chan was silent for a moment, and said, “I am indeed from the Xi family of Xuanling Shenzhou, and the Xi family is the top force in the East China Sea of Xuanling Shenzhou, and has a double crown ancestor.”
When talking about the Xi family, a look of deep disgust emerged in Xi Chan’s eyes.
“The Xi family is divided into the main family and the branch family, and I am from the branch family. The Xi family has had a pedantic and twisted family rule since ancient times.”
“The daughters of the branch family, when they come of age, must marry the men of the main family.”
“It’s because the main family has mastered a secret method that can use the daughters of the branch family as a furnace, borrowing the power of the same bloodline to strengthen their own compatibility. This method is vicious, and often the daughters of the branch family end up with a short lifespan. Therefore, although they are of the same bloodline, the branch family of the Xi family is like a slave raised by the main family.”
“The branch families tried to resist, but were all suppressed by the ancestors.”
“When I came of age, the master family arranged a marriage for me, and the one who arranged the marriage was Xi Li.”
“My parents didn’t want to see me fall into that fire pit, so they looked for an opportunity to send me away. I hid in the distant Great Xia Kingdom and didn’t dare to go back for many years.”
Xi Chan clenched her hands tightly, and blue veins were visible on the back of her fair hands, which showed how intense her inner emotions were.
“I just didn’t expect that after so many years, when I came to the Tianjing Tower again, I would encounter the people from the Xi family.”
Li Luo frowned. The Xi family actually had such strange clan rules. It was really twisted and perverted.
But he finally understood why Xi Chan showed such disgust when she saw Xi Chi.
“Xi Li has been working at Xuanling Ancient Academy for many years. His strength and connections cannot be underestimated. If he knows about me this time, he will definitely not let it go easily.”
Teacher Xi Chan bit her red lips tightly, with a determined look in her eyes: “But if he wants to use me as a furnace, I would rather die than follow his wishes.”
Li Luo smiled calmly and said, “He is just a seventh-rank tutor of an ancient academy. He is not qualified to act pretentiously in front of me. If he really dares to come and snatch people, I will kill him.”
There was a sense of murderous intent flowing through the plain words, which was quite majestic.
Today, he is no longer the precarious young master of Luolan Mansion. Not only has he embarked on the path of unparalleled status, but his background is also as strong as a mountain.
Therefore, even if the Xi family has a double champion, he is still not afraid.
Teacher Xi Chan has done him a great favor. As long as she is unwilling, let alone a seventh-rank marquis, even if their ancestor comes, Li Luo will not back down.
Who wouldn’t be able to shake someone?
Li Luo’s calm but murderous voice, when heard by Xi Chan, caused some turbulent emotions to arise in her heart.
Who would have thought that the boy who needed her protection during the teacher selection competition back then could now give her such a strong sense of security.
Finally, Teacher Xi Chan said softly: “Li Luo, thank you.”
Li Luo smiled and waved his hand, but his eyes were cast on the fair, intellectual face of Teacher Xi Chan, or to be more precise, on the black “Fish Curse”.
The slightly weird fish curse, against the backdrop of the fair and smooth skin, seems somewhat enchanting.
“Has this curse not been lifted yet?” Li Luo asked with a frown.
Teacher Xi Chan said: “In fact, when I was at Tianyuan Ancient Academy, Vice Dean Lan Lingzi wanted to remove this “fish curse” for me, but I refused.”
“Why?” Li Luo was a little surprised.
Teacher Xi Chan said softly, “I have become accustomed to this thing over the years, and it is also a kind of power. Now that the Tianjing Tower is about to open, it is always good to have more means.”
She smiled at Li Luo and said, “It’s true that you will suffer a lot when using it, but this fish spell is not as strong as it was in the past, and its threat has also weakened a lot.”
Li Luo was speechless. He didn’t expect that over the years, Teacher Xi Chan had actually gotten used to the Fish Curse. However, he didn’t find it incredible. After all, he had seen people who had merged alien powers to create something even more terrifying.
Of course it is Li Lingjing.
However, the threat of the Fish Demon Curse is indeed not as great as it was in the past. If it recurs, Li Luo can first take Teacher Xi Chan to the Dragon Tooth Vein and ask Tan Tai Lan to eliminate all hidden dangers for Teacher Xi Chan.
Thinking of this, Li Luo felt relieved. He chatted with Teacher Xi Chan for a while before leaving the room and going to his own room.
But when he went up the stairs, he paused.
At the corner of the stairs, there was a graceful figure in a green skirt standing quietly, her eyes like icy lakes, seeming to exude coldness and a hint of alienation.
Like a snow lotus in winter, cold, elegant and aloof.
She looked at Li Luo who walked out of Teacher Xi Chan’s room and asked casually.
“What did you talk about after being inside for so long?”
