Chapter 34

Oriental Xiu Zhe smiled slightly and did not make things difficult for Ren Tianxing, thinking that there was plenty of time in the future!

He believed that Ren Tianxing would never escape from his palm!

After a few more casual words, when he learned the purpose of Ren Tianxing's visit, Oriental Xiu Zhe generously gave him the "Nine Turns Nightlight Cup." To Oriental Xiu Zhe, this item was merely something to exchange for a few coins, with no practical value.

Ren Tianxing was extremely surprised, making him even more uncertain about the nature of this little devil before him!

In fact, Oriental Xiu Zhe was very generous to those he favored.

Of course, this was also to facilitate smoother future cooperation with Ren Tianxing.

"You help me with one last thing, and then you can leave!" After storing the items he wanted to take in his storage ring, Oriental Xiu Zhe said.

"What is it?" Ren Tianxing became somewhat nervous.

Oriental Xiu Zhe smiled lightly...

※※※※※※※※※※

Speaking of Zhao Hu and the others, they had almost searched the nearby mountains thoroughly but found no clues about the young master, leaving them at a loss!

In the wilderness, with dim light, it was no easy task to find someone in such a vast forest.

"What should we do? Could the young master really have been captured by them?" one of the guards asked, looking dejected.

"At least we can still confirm that the young master is alive."

Zhao Hu frowned, his words meant to comfort both others and himself.

In his heart, he knew very well that even if the young master was still alive, he was in constant danger!

"Let's gather more forces. We'll level this place if we have to, to find the young master!"

"It seems we have no choice!"

Zhao Hu looked dejected; if he could, he really didn't want to alarm the General.

Just as they were discussing who would go for reinforcements and who would stay to continue searching, they faintly heard what sounded like the young master's voice.

Could it be an illusion?

"Listen, I think I hear the young master calling us!"

Zhao Hu immediately perked up, straining his ears to listen carefully.

"You're right, it's the young master's voice, it seems to be coming from the direction of the carriage!"

Like seeing light in the darkness, Zhao Hu jumped up and rushed towards the carriage without a word.

The other guards followed closely, using their fastest speed.

When they reached the carriage, they indeed saw their young master there, along with a strange man.

"Young master!" Zhao Hu was very excited, hugging Oriental Xiu Zhe and examining him carefully, "Young master, are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine, it was this big brother who saved me!" Oriental Xiu Zhe pointed to Ren Tianxing.

Ren Tianxing smiled awkwardly, wondering why this little devil was hiding his strength from the guards but not from him.

With their hearts finally at ease, Zhao Hu and the others naturally expressed heartfelt gratitude to Ren Tianxing, making him even more uncomfortable.

"Alright, I've delivered the person, I'll take my leave now!"

Ren Tianxing had fulfilled Oriental Xiu Zhe's request and did not want to stay any longer, fearing that this little devil might come up with more demands.

Zhao Hu and the others watched as Ren Tianxing quickly left through the forest and rocks, remarking, "A true master, that's a true master!"

Ren Tianxing almost fell off the rock when he heard this, thinking: I just have fast movements, the real master is the little devil by your side!

To avoid any further incidents, the carriage was quickly repaired and continued on its journey.

Zhao Hu's injuries seemed not to be serious, and the carriage sped forward under his urging.

Without further ado, on the third morning, the carriage finally arrived at the entrance of the "Grassroots启蒙 School."

Getting off the carriage, when Oriental Xiu Zhe saw the school clearly, he was stunned on the spot, thinking: "Is the启蒙 school my parents found for me really this one?"

Slapping his forehead, Oriental Xiu Zhe was speechless!

If one word had to describe this "Grassroots启蒙 School" — it was "shabby"!

Looking around, all he saw were dilapidated buildings, and the school's walls were made of fences. Most incredibly, there were chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, horses, and cows roaming freely, and the yard was littered with feces... My goodness, this place doesn't even look like a school, it's worse than a farm!

Oriental Xiu Zhe couldn't imagine he would have to attend school here. Heaven, are you playing with me?

Zhao Hu and the others also didn't expect the "Grassroots启蒙 School" to be like this, though they had heard about it before, this was their first visit.

"Captain, did we come to the wrong place?" one of the guards asked, trying to suppress a laugh.

"It should... be this place!" Zhao Hu was also slow to react.

Entering the school, the decay inside was even more unimaginable.

The children studying here were dressed like "little beggars," wearing dirty and tattered clothes.

Zhao Hu muttered as he walked, "The General and Lady were really harsh this time, making the young master attend such a school!"

Finally, they met the school principal, who was a drunk old man.

He was short, with messy hair, a red and large nose, and a limping gait, looking completely disheveled, making it hard to associate him with being the principal of a school.

However, after seeing this man, Oriental Xiu Zhe calmed down, looking thoughtful.

Despite the old man's good disguise, Oriental Xiu Zhe still sensed the surging martial energy within him.

It seems attending school here isn't entirely meaningless!

Zhao Hu and the others explained their purpose, and the old man looked at Oriental Xiu Zhe like he was inspecting livestock, then said, "Pay 100 gold coins, leave the person, and you can go!"

100 gold coins, is the tuition for this shabby school really that expensive?

Seeming to see through Zhao Hu's thoughts, the old man said impatiently, "Decide quickly whether to stay or leave, I have to go drink!"

Since it was the decision of the General and Lady, Zhao Hu and the others didn't want to argue further and paid the money.

"On the first day, students cannot carry money; the school will take full responsibility for food, clothing, and accommodation!"

The old man said this while staring at Oriental Xiu Zhe, his eyes saying: Kid, hand over your money obediently.

Was Oriental Xiu Zhe that obedient? He wasn't foolish enough to really hand over his money, especially since he had millions of gold coins!

Using a small spell, he hid the storage ring.

Thus, Oriental Xiu Zhe's启蒙 life began!
