Chapter 8 Departure
Chapter 8 Departure
Xu Mingxi hates separation, especially long separations.
Canghui College is located in the Tiandou Empire, and I don’t know when I can come back after I leave.
When Xu Mingxi turned twelve, the sect leader replaced his storage ring with a larger one, which had a full ten cubic meters of space.
When mother Xu Ya heard that Xu Mingxi was leaving tomorrow, she cooked all night and packed the food into his storage ring.
His father secretly called Xu Mingxi into the room, took out a bag of gold soul coins and handed it to him.
"You little brat, this is my private money, spend less."
Xu Mingxi really wanted to tell his father that the storage ring prepared by the sect leader already contained various soul beast meats and medicinal materials for medicinal baths.
There are quite a few gold soul coins. You should keep these hundreds of gold soul coins for your own spending.
Xu Mingxi hesitated but took it anyway. Anyway, his father lived in Xingluo Mountain and it didn't cost much, so he might as well take it with him just in case.
The next day, Xu Mingxi packed his bags and reluctantly said goodbye to his parents. Just as he was about to go out, he saw an unexpected figure at the door.
"Aunt, why are you here?"
The person who came was Xu Mingguang's mother, Chao Yunting.
"Xiao Mingxi, I heard from Mingguang that you are going to Canghui College.
My family and Canghui College are in the same city, so I'm here to ask for your help."
"Aunt, what can I do for you? I will definitely help if I can."
"It's very simple. You just need to help your aunt deliver this letter to my sister. She is now the head of the Chao family."
Xu Mingxi felt very strange when he saw his aunt taking out a letter from the storage ring.
Auntie, this isn’t asking me to help you, it’s helping me.
With the help of a local boss, I won't be isolated and helpless there.
"Okay, Auntie. I will definitely deliver the letter."
Xu Mingxi took the letter, waved to his aunt, and came to Xu Fangzhuo's residence.
knock knock knock.
"Uncle Fang Zhuo, open the door, I'm here."
"Mingxi? You're here so early. The Sect Master has already told me. Let's set off now."
Xingluo Mountain is far away from Canghui College. Although Xu Fangzhuo is a Soul Emperor, he is still quite old.
The two rented a horse carriage, which was comfortable and fast, and also allowed Xu Mingxi to see the scenery along the way.
Xu Mingxi stuck his head out of the carriage. This was the first time he saw the lives of the people in various parts of Douluo Continent.
Before, my grandfather and the second elder were taking me on the journey at a very fast speed, and they were flying in the air, so I didn’t have a good look.
In Douluo Continent, everyone has a martial soul. Even if they don’t have soul power, it can improve their productivity.
Those with hammer spirit are good at forging, and those with hoe spirit are good at tilling the land. In the absence of external factors, food and clothing will be no problem at all.
The Xingluo Empire has had a tough character since the royal family, but the people still live a relatively affluent life.
Along the way, Xu Mingxi has not had the opportunity to show off and get slapped in the face.
It was not until he entered the territory of the Tiandou Empire that Xu Mingxi began to see refugees who were hungry and poorly clothed.
Xu Mingxi, who lived in a peaceful era in his previous life and enjoyed a life of luxury in this life, saw such a scene for the first time.
Perhaps noticing Xu Mingxi's sadness, the experienced Xu Fangzhuo spoke out to comfort her.
"Mingxi, this is the Barak Kingdom. Although it belongs to the Tiandou Empire, it is only a vassal state. The Emperor Tiandou has no control over this place.
The Barak royal family is arrogant and lustful, and they are like local tyrants here.
Under so many heavy taxes, the people are naturally suffering, but this is not something we can control."
Xu Mingxi knew all this, he was just shocked by the scene before him for a moment.
What's more, since Emperor Tiandou doesn't care, the Xingguan Sect will not do such a thankless task.
Nowadays, Xue Ye is still just a prince, and his father is still in power.
This emperor could not be said to be incompetent, but he was definitely not excellent either. He was just a mediocre person who maintained the status quo.
Even if he wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Barak Kingdom, he was powerless.
Fortunately, the purpose of Xu Mingxi's trip was not in the Kingdom of Barak, nor in the territory of any kingdom or principality.
Canghui City, where Canghui College is located, is under the jurisdiction of the Tiandou Empire, but it is adjacent to the Xingluo Kingdom.
This Xingluo Kingdom has no relationship with the Xingluo Empire, it is just a vassal state of Tiandou. The lord of Canghui City is also the vanguard sent by the Tiandou Empire to monitor the Xingluo Kingdom.
"Mingxi, we will be there soon. I will send you to Chao's house first, and then discuss your admission with Dean Canghui."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Fang Zhuo."
The carriage stopped in front of a vermilion gate. This was the location of the famous Chao family in Canghui City.
The current head of the Chao family, Chao Yunwan, is a level 69 Soul Emperor, just one step away from becoming a Soul Saint.
Xu Mingxi got off the carriage, and Xu Fangzhuo drove the carriage towards Canghui College.
Mingxi walked to the front door alone and knocked on the snake-shaped door knocker.
The door slowly opened, revealing a crack, and a maid showed her head from behind the door.
"Hello, my name is Xu Mingxi, and I'm here to deliver a letter to your house on behalf of Aunt Chao Yunting."
"Ms. Yunting, wait a minute, I'll go and inform the head of the family."
After a while, under Xu Mingxi's gaze, the door was completely opened.
Coming towards them was a large group of more than a dozen people, led by an old woman with silver hair but still a fierce aura.
When she saw Xu Mingxi's height and appearance, she was stunned at first, but she quickly reacted and invited him into her house for a chat.
When Xu Mingxi walked into the lobby, the old woman waved her hand and the team dispersed instantly.
The only people left in the lobby were an old woman, a middle-aged couple, and a beautiful young woman who looked to be in her thirties.
"Come on, come on, please take a seat. I am Yun Ting's sister, you can just call me Aunt Wan.
I wonder if Yunting is doing well over there. We haven't seen each other for many years."
Xu Mingxi quickly took out the letter given by his aunt from the storage ring and handed it to the old woman opposite.
After reading the letter, the old woman smiled even more happily. Looking at Xu Mingxi opposite her, she became more and more satisfied.
Innate ninth-level soul power, and a thirty-first-level soul master at the age of seventeen. What an outstanding child.
"Kid, now that you are here, treat this place as your own home. Don't be polite.
Let me introduce you, these two are my son and daughter-in-law, and this is my daughter, Chao Tianxiang."
"Hello, my name is Xu Mingxi."
Chao Tianxiang watched her mother pull her in front of the guest and knew she was going to say something again.
"Mom, you don't want to find a partner for Cai'er, do you? This is not appropriate."
"What are you talking about, kid? Am I that kind of old lady? You should worry about your daughter's affairs yourself."
Chao Yunwan was very surprised. She was almost worried to death about her daughter's marriage, but how come she had never heard her mention it before?
"Mom, I saw Cai'er with another boy in the academy some time ago. He seemed to be a commoner. Maybe he will marry into our family in the future. Maybe he can even inherit the dragon head cane martial spirit."
Oh my goodness, Chaotianxiang, the snake staff martial spirit, and the dragon head crutch should be the Dragon Lord Meng Shu, the dragon and snake combined attack.
"Tianxiang, since Cai'er has found a boyfriend, you should talk to her properly and don't say things that could lead to misunderstandings in front of the guests."
"Mingxi, I heard that you are going to Canghui College too, right? Then let your cousin show you around."
The two of them greeted each other awkwardly and stopped talking. Seeing this, Grandma Chao had no choice but to arrange for Xu Mingxi to stay first.
As night fell, Xu Fangzhuo returned and brought Xu Mingxi good news.
The dean agreed to his admission without examination, and all he needed to do was show his spirit ring.
The lights in the Chao family lobby were still on, and the four members of the Chao family were sitting inside.
"Tianxiang, since Cai'er already has a boyfriend, I won't force her, but you still have to take good care of your cousin. It's a pity that he probably doesn't like the younger generation of our Chao family."
Grandma Chao had some understanding of the background of her sister's brother-in-law.
Although I don’t know the specific situation, it is definitely much stronger than the Chao family.
Originally, he wanted to match the girl from the Chao family with Xu Mingxi, but after seeing Xu Mingxi's appearance and ability, he had to give up this plan.
Now try your best to build a good relationship with Xu Mingxi, maybe you can get his help if you encounter any problems later.
Chao Yunting had the same thought when she handed the letter to Xu Mingxi.
She knew how powerful the Xingguan Sect was, so it would be beneficial to have the Chao family strengthen their ties with the Xingguan Sect.
