Chapter 9

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!!"

Zhu Minglang took a deep breath, feeling an excitement he hadn't experienced in a long time.

No, no, no, I need to calm down first.

Xiao Bai is still in the cocoon stage. Before he breaks out, I'm still just a small ordinary spirit. I need to find a safe and secure place to wait for Xiao Bai to complete his transformation.

Where should I go now? This Ancestor Dragon City is unfamiliar to me...

"Sir."

"Sir, please wait a moment."

As Zhu Minglang hesitated in front of the Li family's main gate, a young maid with a delicate appearance called out to him.

"Are you calling me?" Zhu Minglang was a bit puzzled.

"Are you Sir Zhu Minglang? Lady Li asked me to give you this letter from the academy." The delicate maid said softly.

Zhu Minglang saw the four large characters "Dragon Taming Academy" clearly written on the letter.

Is this going to turn from a joke into reality??

Is this to prevent Luo Xiao from investigating later?

The academy is actually a good place, and it's also suitable for me to wait out Xiao Bai's cocoon stage.

Fine, if I have to go to school, I'll go to school!

Zhu Minglang took the heavy letter.

The admission requirements for the Dragon Taming Academy are actually very strict. Either you have enough money to ensure you can raise a dragon, or the young spirit you raise is identified as a potential young dragon.

The academy is a good place, with children of high officials and nobles, as well as commoners who become young dragon students through their unique insights and wisdom.

Becoming a dragon tamer is not the exclusive right of the powerful. In the vast sea of people, some commoners can also leap over the dragon gate and soar to the sky.

"Sir, after you report to the Lichuan Dragon Taming Academy, don't miss the selection of young spirits. You need to have a good eye when choosing a young spirit." The delicate maid winked at Zhu Minglang and gently reminded him.

"Thank you, miss."

"Just call me Shuang'er."

"Thank you, Shuang'er."

"Ha ha." Shuang'er laughed, her voice as clear as a bell.

Taking the admission letter, Zhu Minglang walked down the steps onto the bustling and prosperous main street of the city, paved with blue-green stone.

Behind him was the Li family's royal courtyard, which was solemn and cold, separated from this blue-green stone street by only a river bridge.

But after crossing the river bridge, the烟火气 (vitality and烟火) immediately enveloped him, and no one would pay attention to anyone's face.

Since he is a person who can adapt to any situation, he can wander the four seas or settle in a refined school!

This is a new beginning...

...

In the courtyard

Shuang'er, with a butterfly-shaped headband, walked into the room and immediately saw Miss Li Yunzi sitting alone on a goose-down mat.

Shuang'er had also heard about that incident.

Outside, she is the Lady, once admired and respected, but in this courtyard, she is no different from an ordinary young lady, and the people in the Li family's royal courtyard also call her Miss Yunzi.

Shuang'er knew that Miss Yunzi had suffered in recent days, but she didn't know how to help her get through it.

"Miss, Shuang'er doesn't understand. How did that woman in Yongcheng know your weakness? You have always been very careful." Shuang'er bowed slightly and said.

"The one who framed me is here." Li Yunzi said coldly.

Why did she come back?

Li Yunzi was very clear that the person who could grasp her fatal weakness must be a close relative.

"Ah?? Is there someone in our Li family behind this? Why didn't you tell the family head? Someone in the clan is trying to harm you!" Shuang'er said.

Li Yunzi shook her head and said, "If I tell, it will only alert them."

Shuang'er was also very intelligent. She immediately realized who Li Yunzi was referring to, her eyes full of surprise, and after a while, she whispered, "You suspect it's the second lady of the family, Kong Tong?"

"I hope it's her..." Li Yunzi muttered, somewhat lost in thought.

"No wonder that madman Luo Xiao destroyed Yongcheng, and the news spread throughout the city. Someone in the clan doesn't want you to hold power, but such means are too vicious!" Shuang'er said indignantly.

Li Yunzi took a deep breath.

Some people want her to be in endless trouble, to ruin her reputation. She won't let them have their way.

Li Yunzi also needs some time to let everything settle.

She will repay all those who trampled on her tenfold!!

"Have the autumn nan trees in the Star Garden bloomed?" Li Yunzi asked.

"They have, they are very beautiful. Let's go there for a walk, Miss."

"If she wakes up, don't mention this to her." Li Yunzi instructed.

"Ah?" Shuang'er didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Behind the courtyard, there is a small hill with a wide view, covered with deep blue trees. These autumn nan trees are tall and graceful, with branches full of flowers that only bloom in autumn.

The flowers are like silk and fluff, tightly embracing each other, blooming in large clusters on the branches, with light green leaves providing a beautiful contrast, making them even more graceful and beautiful.

Standing under the nan trees, the fragrance of the flowers surrounds her. Li Yunzi was lost in thought, gazing at the flowers, the leaves, the tender branches, and the clean sunlight streaming through the gaps between the flowers and branches...

"Time has never been as peaceful and beautiful as it is now." Li Yunzi said softly.

...

...

Lichuan refers to the three rivers that irrigate this vast plain from the distant mountains, nourishing this fertile land and nurturing countless living beings.

The Lichuan Dragon Taming Academy is not in the inner city of Ancestor Dragon City; it is located further upstream on the Lichuan.

Following the confluence of the three rivers in Ancestor Dragon City and heading north along the main river, one can see a magnificent and grand Phoenix Embankment within fifty kilometers!

The Phoenix Embankment is a huge waterfall that suddenly plunges down from the main river, with thousands of tons of silver-white water pouring down. Standing downstream and looking up at the Phoenix Embankment, it seems like hundreds of dragons are rushing down with a long rainbow-like aura, the waves like white scales and silver feathers...

Above the Phoenix Embankment, the main river of Lichuan suddenly widens by dozens of times, the water converges here, and the river's skeleton slowly expands to both sides, forming a rare calm lake in the river.

And the Lichuan Dragon Taming Academy is built right in this huge river lake!

Zhu Minglang walked to this place and was also captivated by the scenery. This is the Dragon Taming Academy, and its location already shows its extraordinary nature.

Following the long slope covered with autumn green grass, he bypassed the magnificent Phoenix Embankment waterfall and saw a very ancient and elegant small town. Although the town is not large, it is very densely populated, with countless merchants and travelers coming and going.

At the end of the street in Phoenix Embankment Town, there is a white rock bridge leading to the Lichuan Dragon Taming Academy. In the center of the white rock bridge, there is a bronze-wooden gate, which is open, and occasionally, a few young men and women dressed in fine clothes can be seen entering and exiting.

"Little brother, are you also here to admire the academy?" A girl selling ripe peaches asked by the bridge.

The girl had a wheat-colored complexion and looked very healthy, clearly spending a lot of time in the sun. She held a peach from her stall, took a bite, and then wiped the peach juice from her lips with the back of her hand.

"I'm here to enroll." Zhu Minglang smiled innocently.

"Really? I didn't see that coming..." The peach seller looked at Zhu Minglang with surprise.

Zhu Minglang's smile grew wider.

"I didn't see that you were crazy either." The peach seller continued.

Zhu Minglang's expression froze. He didn't expect the girl selling peaches at the bridge to be so sharp-tongued!
