Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Chapter 47: Old Friends Meet!

The person in front of him looked at Li Yuanqing respectfully and expectantly, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards him. His fingers were even trembling slightly.

Li Yuanqing couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the trembling fingertips of that person. This person was actually Wang Xian!

He was also his teacher when he was the Crown Prince back then. The last time he went to the Wang Clan in Langya, he was the one who had to take care of his wife in that small courtyard. He was also the Wang Xian who was spared of his life.

“Mr. Wang, how have you been!”

“Crown-, long time no see!”

At this moment, Wang Xian was exceptionally excited. He wanted to call him “Crown Prince”, but there was a crowd around him. Li Yuanqing had taken the initiative to greet him. It was obvious that he did not want others to know his identity.

Back then, when Li Yuanqing left him alive, he had told him to forget everything that had happened to him and not say anything. Wang Xian would remember this until his death, so he did not know how to address Li Yuanqing.

Perhaps others did not know who the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom was and who the boulder at the entrance of the Martial Arts Academy was for, but Wang Xian knew that Li Yuanqing was the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom.

The reason why Princess Zhaoyang could become the Crown Princess and use all the treasures accumulated for a thousand years by the seven great clans to establish the Martial Arts Academy was because of Li Yuanqing.

Everyone felt that the former Crown Prince was already a cripple after being sent to the Wilderness by His Majesty. No one would remember him.

However, Wang Xian knew that Li Yuanqing was the foundation of the Northern Kingdom. Only with him would the Northern Kingdom have a long and peaceful reign. The power and influence of these aristocratic families had already disappeared.

“Dean!” The guard who was looking at Li Yuanqing as if he was an idiot greeted Wang Xian respectfully.

It turned out that after Wang Xian was spared by Li Yuanqing, he became the Wang Clan’s Patriarch and joined Princess Zhaoyang’s faction. When Princess Zhaoyang established the Martial Arts Academy, he petitioned to come to the Wilderness.

With his strength and connections, he could easily become the dean of the Martial Arts Academy.

“Since you call me Dean, I’ll set a rule in front of everyone today. The Martial Arts Academy of the Wilderness is open to ordinary people. The training ground and the library are open to the people of the Northern Kingdom…”

The commoners who knew that Wang Xian was the dean were all a little uneasy and surprised. They did not expect to meet the dean at the Martial Arts Academy today.

One had to know that the Martial Arts Academy was high and mighty to ordinary people, let alone the dean.

The guard lowered his head in shock and half-knelt down as he repeatedly agreed. However, after Wang Xian finished speaking, he instructed the people around him to expel this guard from the Martial Arts Academy.

This was because he had offended someone he could not afford to offend!

At this moment, those commoners who knew the cause and effect of the incident looked at Li Yuanqing differently. Some of them even hurriedly patted the non-existent dust on their bodies, as if they were afraid that something unclean would taint Li Yuanqing.

Moreover, their gazes were extremely respectful when they looked at Li Yuanqing. There were even people who whispered that they knew that this young master was an extraordinary person. He did not look like an ordinary person at all. Just a casual word from him was enough to change the rules of an academy.

Based on Li Yuanqing’s seemingly joking words, the Martial Arts Academy of the Wilderness was open to everyone. Not only could ordinary people enter and leave as they pleased, but they could also use some of the training grounds of the Martial Arts Academy and even borrow the books from the library of the Martial Arts Academy!

This unprecedented treatment was something that no one dared to imagine. It was because of Li Yuanqing’s words that many people were guessing his identity. However, no matter how hard they thought, they definitely could not guess Li Yuanqing’s identity.

After the guard was expelled from the academy, Li Yuanqing was invited by Wang Xian to a quiet courtyard.

Beside the half-moon-shaped door of the small courtyard, there was a cluster of purple bamboo. When the wind blew, the bamboo leaves rustled.

When there were only the two of them in the small courtyard, Wang Xian solemnly bowed to Li Yuanqing. However, before he could kneel down, Li Yuanqing helped him up.

“I’m no longer the Crown Prince, so there’s no need to bow to me. You were my teacher once, but I’ve also spared your life. We can be friends in the future. There’s no need to be too nervous…”

Wang Xian knew Li Yuanqing’s ability. He was an existence who had killed the two Wang clan’s Old Ancestors in one night. He was so excited that tears almost fell when such an expert wanted to be able to be friends with him.

So he kept saying that he didn’t dare to do so.

“Since you’ve come to the Wilderness, then train those martial artists well. The Wilderness is a good place to train soldiers. In the future, the Northern Kingdom will need these people…”

Li Yuanqing could not help but laugh as he looked at the abnormally restrained Wang Xian.

Therefore, he decided to leave the Martial Arts Academy. When he went out, he saw the tattered beggar crying tears of joy and kowtowing to the huge rock. Beside him, many people gave him a thumbs up in envy.

From the looks of it, that little beggar should have been chosen by the Martial Arts Academy of the Wilderness.

Li Yuanqing was in a good mood and quickly returned to the valley in the Wilderness. Wang Shun, Zhang Quan, and the others did not know that he had gone to the Martial Arts Academy.

In fact, when Wang Shun delivered food to Li Yuanqing, he could not help but feel regretful. He said that it was a pity that the Crown Prince didn’t see how well the Martial Arts Academy in the Wilderness was doing and how powerful the new dean was.

Li Yuanqing was drinking tea leisurely when he heard Wang Shun’s words, but he did not respond.

The vicious Ling Hu that Li Yuanqing had named Cow was quietly eating grass by the Clearwater Lake. From time to time, it would raise its head and look at its master docilely before wagging its tail.

Wang Shun stopped and looked curiously at Ling Hu whose body was like a small mountain when he saw that the Crown Prince was not very interested in what he said today.

“Your Highness, were you the one who picked up the Ling Hu, no, Cow? I remember that during the last beast tide, the general once brought more than a hundred brothers and captured a Ling Hu that was much smaller than this. However, it died in the end, and the general distributed its meat. It was so delicious that it is still unforgettable to this day…”

Beef was delicious to begin with, and it was Li Yuanqing’s favorite in his previous life.

However, in this life in the Northern Kingdom, a cow was called the Ling Hu and was even a vicious beast. Li Yuanqing was a little speechless about this. Although Ling Hu also ate grass, its body was countless times larger than the cow of his previous life!

When Cow heard Wang Shun mention about distributing the meat, its nostrils suddenly began to spew out hot air. It couldn’t help but dig the ground with its hooves and stare at Wang Shun with an unfriendly gaze. It looked like it wanted to eat Wang Shun!
