62: The domineering attitude when first arriving at Tianshui College!
Early the next morning, Qian Feng and the Water Binger sisters got into the carriage, preparing to head to Tianshui Academy.
"Uh, isn't this carriage a bit crowded?" Qian Feng frowned and quickly said, "I'll pay to rent another one!"
"Oh, don't think about it. I already asked. The competition is over now, and many people have left. They aren't watching the individual battles, so the carriages must all be rented out!" Shui Yueer spread her hands and blinked at her sister.
"Ah, yes." Water Binger's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded, quietly pinching Shui Yueer's waist with her right hand!
"Well, that makes sense. Then I can only inconvenience the two of you." Qian Feng smiled helplessly. The journey from here to Tianshui Academy would likely take several days, so he could only switch to a faster mode of transportation later.
There was no other way; the carriage was simply too small! Accommodating three people was quite a squeeze. Qian Feng and Water Binger sat facing each other, and he could faintly smell the maiden's body fragrance, like a clear orchid.
Not to mention, as soon as he moved slightly, his knee would brush against Water Binger's, which made him shy. He could only lift the curtain and look outside.
"By the way, Qian Feng, should I briefly tell you about the three academies?" Seeing Qian Feng lost in thought, Water Binger suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip and naturally offered to help if she could.
"Okay! It happens to be boring on this journey, and I'll continue to tell you about the power of water and fire later." The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled faintly.
"The Dean of our Tianshui Academy is an elegant middle-aged woman named Shui Wen. Her Soul Power is at level eighty, and her Martial Soul is the Ice Profound Bird. Dean Fire Blazing of Chi Huo Academy is also a Soul Douluo, and his Martial Soul is a giant flaming gorilla. The Dean of Shenfeng Academy is also a Soul Douluo; I remember his Martial Soul is the Swift Wind Sickle Weasel."
Water Binger thought carefully, trying to ensure her information was accurate. She quickly nodded and said, "The three academies usually have joint activities, so I'm quite familiar with the other two Deans."
"Three Soul Douluo, I understand." Qian Feng nodded and then began to share his insights on the power of water and fire with her.
This journey was very long. The three of them traveled intermittently, and it would take about another day to reach Tianshui Academy.
They had been traveling for several days. Qian Feng didn't mind, being a Titled Douluo after all. But the two maidens had limited Soul Power and were already exhausted after traveling for days.
If he weren't considering the difference between men and women and trying not to reveal his true strength, he would have just picked them up and flown away.
As night fell, from the top of the small hill, Tianshui Academy, built near the water, could vaguely be seen.
"It's quite beautiful." Qian Feng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.
It must be said, the Douluo Continent was a beautiful place. Fortunately, Qian Feng had come. This beautiful land wouldn't fall into the hands of the Tang Sect and become the "private territory" of the Tang God Kings' father!
Water Binger and Shui Yueer sat back-to-back on a large rock.
"Sister, I'm so hungry..." Shui Yueer sighed, truly unable to walk any further.
"Bear with it. We'll set off early tomorrow morning and should reach the Academy by nightfall." Water Binger sighed and patted her sister's cheek.
A strange heartache welled up in Qian Feng's heart. He glanced around and said, "Wait for me. I'll be right back."
"Huh? Qian Feng, where are you going?" Shui Yueer scratched her head and glanced at Qian Feng; he had already entered the forest.
"Relax, are you afraid he'll run away?" Water Binger smiled wryly and shook her head.
"Hmph, wasn't I thinking of you?!"
"It's a shame. Besides places like the Soul Beast forest, ordinary forests don't have any tasty Soul Beasts at all." Qian Feng sighed. In the end, he just caught a few wild rabbits, skinned and gutted them, threaded them onto a wooden stick, broke open some nearby bamboo to use as cups, and brought back some mountain spring water.
"Get ready to eat!" Qian Feng smiled, while the two maidens hadn't yet fully registered what was happening.
He had already started a fire with lightning and was roasting the wild rabbits. As he handed one roasted rabbit skewer to each of the maidens, Qian Feng didn't forget to kindly remind them, "You should use the outer flame to roast wild rabbits. It will take a lot of time if you do it like that!"
"Ah!" Water Binger exclaimed in surprise and looked up at Qian Feng.
Under the moonlight, the bonfire illuminated the young man's flawless, exquisite face. Water Binger's heart thumped rapidly until she heard:
"Alright, I can't eat it anyway. Why are you looking at me so much?!" Qian Feng shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile.
"N-no, sorry!" Water Binger immediately withdrew her gaze and began seriously roasting her wild rabbit.
At least the problem of food and warmth was solved tonight. At the same time, the two maidens felt increasingly that Qian Feng didn't have any airs of a Young Master of Spirit Hall!
It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Qian Feng stood outside the main gate of Tianshui Academy.
Looking up, the Academy occupied a vast area, built by the water, with a well-arranged layout. It truly deserved to be one of the seven great academies of the Continent.
"Senior Sister Bing'er, you're back!" The female guard at the gate called out, and immediately a large group of people enthusiastically came out of the Academy gate, including Dean Shui Wen of the Academy.
Dean Shui Wen was gentle and intellectual, and her water-blue robe looked extremely noble.
She stepped forward a few steps, extended her hand, and said, "Qian Feng? I have already learned about you and also know your purpose. Rest first, shall we discuss tomorrow?"
Qian Feng smiled and shook her hand, thanking her, "Thank you Tianshui Academy for such a warm welcome. However, Qian Feng's personality is quite direct. Since you know my purpose, I will speak plainly. I want to challenge the three Deans of Tianshui, Chi Huo, and Shenfeng Academies. Only then can I prove that I have the ability to bring the three academies under my wing!"
Only the two maidens beside him and Dean Shui Wen heard his words; the surrounding cheers were still very enthusiastic.
Shui Yueer's eyes widened, and her mouth fell open. It took her a long time to recover.
Water Binger's eyes showed shock. Although she didn't know Qian Feng's true strength, challenging three Deans seemed a bit... presumptuous.
"Oh?" Dean Shui Wen pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and nodded, "Alright! I will notify the other two old fellows to come tomorrow. Let's go, I'll arrange your accommodation first!"
Qian Feng was delighted and thanked her a few more times.
This action wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision for him to show off. Since he intended to bring them under his command, he had to display extraordinary strength.
The deterrent power of Spirit Hall certainly existed, but it wasn't enough.
Qian Feng had to demonstrate the domineering side of his identity as the Young Master of Spirit Hall. Only by combining strength and gentleness could he gain the trust of the three academies.
Shui Wen naturally understood Qian Feng's thoughts. She was also very curious about what abilities the young man in front of her possessed? How could he dare to directly challenge the Deans?
Most of Tianshui Academy's students were girls. The rows of junior sisters stared at Qian Feng, which made him a bit awkward. He lowered his head and asked Water Binger beside him, "Um, could you help me find a quiet room?"
"Hehe, don't worry. Of course!" Water Binger smiled gently and nodded.
