Chapter 180: The Capital City
The new students didn"t really have anything that they have to do for the time being. In fact, they were so free that they were perplexed about what they were supposed to do. The dean told them to rest and familiarize themselves with the academy for the first week, so that was what most of them did.
They simply walked around the area.
"Master, what do you want to do?" Sui Wenyan asked when she noticed that Lin Xiao had walked out after a day of resting. The test might not be that hard, but the mental burden from the illusion was quite big. She only felt it after sleeping last night and realized that she couldn"t sleep soundly.
Lin Xiao stretched his hand. "Well, let"s take a look at the capital city first. I have always been very curious with the capital city."
"Alright."
Sui Wenyan proceeded to wake the others up and dragged them out of their room. Since they were only sleeping, the other two swiftly prepare themselves for the journey.
Lin Xiao and the others made their way to the gate. After turning here and there a few times, they finally arrived at the gate and then asked the guard there for permission to look around the capital city.
"New students?"
"Yes."
"Here"s the plate. You can only go out in the capital city during the first 7 days after new students come in or if there"s important event in the town. Aside from that, you"re supposed to stay in the academy for the entire time."
Lin Xiao nodded and cupped his hand. "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Guard."
"Hahaha, no need to be so polite to an old bone like me." The guard laughed heartily. He waved his hand. "Go."
Old bone?
Lin Xiao smiled as he walked with the other three following behind him. While the guard did conceal his aura, Lin Xiao could clearly feel that the guard was not an ordinary person. In fact, the guard was someone extraordinarily powerful to the point that he wouldn"t lose to the teachers.
How could he be impolite?
Besides, he would treat others the way they treated him. Since the guard treated him well, why wouldn"t he treat the other party well too?
The capital city truly worthy of its name because it was so bustling with activities that they looked around the area with great interest. From the way it looked like, majority of cultivators in the capital city was Foundation Establishment.
Those at lower rank were mostly either servants or children.
"Where do you want to go, Brother?" Lin Yun asked. He was more used to call Lin Xiao as brother rather than Master. Lin Xiao himself would feel uncomfortable whenever Lin Yun changed his address, which was why they still stuck to this address.
"Hmm, how about if we eat first?"
Eat?
Lin Yun: "…"
Wenren Yu: "…"
Sui Wenyan: "…"
Seeing how Lin Xiao truly walked to the stalls there, the other three sighed and chose to follow Lin Xiao. From the way it looked like, Lin Xiao was busy asking about the food in the capital city. Did he want to come to the capital city because of the food?
The other three cultivators felt like they couldn"t bear with it.
While cultivators at lower rank still needed to eat, once they reached Foundation Establishment, it could be said that the need to eat had decreased. Before long, there was no need for them to eat anymore because they could replace it with the Qi.
After all, who would want to waste time to eat when they could use it to practice more?
But since they were still at Body Training Rank, it did make sense that they would want to eat more.
"Lin Hu, this place is filled with mystical aura."
"That"s for sure. The capital city is the place where the princes live. If they didn"t have the aura of a dragon, that will be rather strange. Anyway, try to find that hall if you want to know whether you have the qualification to become the Emperor or not." Lin Hu could see through Lin Xiao almost immediately.
Since the only thing that existed almost everywhere in the capital city was food, Lin Xiao chose to become a foodie while looking around the place. His target was obviously the hall that Sui Wenyan mentioned before.
Only the four princes have the qualification to enter the place, which meant that the others didn"t manage to enter.
Lin Xiao wanted to know whether he could enter or not.
"The food over there look good too."
"Brother, your stomach wouldn"t be able to hold on if you continue eating," Lin Yun reminded. Though, he doubted that Lin Xiao would listen since cultivators could really eat a lot of food without the need to worry about overeat. They could fasten their digest by utilizing their Qi.
"Don"t worry, you can help me eat."
Lin Yun: "…"
Brother!
However, the other three chose to follow Lin Xiao as they walked street by streets. There were several n.o.ble houses that they pa.s.sed, but Lin Xiao had no intention to stop in the slightest bit. Aside from that, they were also getting closer and closer to the center of the capital city.
"Hmm, that food look good too," Lin Xiao commented when he looked at the row of stalls located not far from the palace. He was actually thinking that the hall might be close to the palace since it was something that was left from the dragons.
"Ha ha ha, brother over there, are you interested in the food over here?"
"Hmmm?
Turning his body around, Lin Xiao could see a young man around the same age as him standing while smiling. From the way he dressed, Lin Xiao could clearly see that the young man was someone from the Royal Family.
His eyes narrowed as he was wondering whether the young man had hostile intention or not.
