Ye Jiao tilted her head to look at Mu Xin. "How do you know that? Also, why do you say that my family also migrate?"
"My father told me when I was young," Mu Xin replied. "It's pretty common for people from the mainland to migrate to rural areas because of some conditions. Most of the talented ones usually come from the mainland."
Ye Jiao blinked her eyes in disbelief. She did expect that there might be some stories behind her family, but she didn't expect that it would be the same with Mu Xin. However, there were indeed only a few family members of the Mu Family in the Chen Kingdom. There were only Mu Xin and her father.
Similar to her and her father.
Qin Zheng pulled a chair and placed it behind Ye Jiao. "The rural areas are a common place for geniuses to run away when they encounter some problem because, in that place, the highest rank is just level 4. Those areas were originally empty and only by migrating people from the mainland can it thrive. It took hundreds of years to make them into a complete civilization with their own records and history.
Occasionally, travelers or runaways from the mainland can come there."
"Are you also runaways?"
"I'm a student who comes there to hide." Qin Zheng pulled another chair for himself. "Do you really think that I come there just to play around?"
"No."
"There's a problem in the Xian Gu Kingdom. Once every five years, there'll be beast tide all over the area, forcing us to defend. Every Core Disciple under the rank of 4 will be sent to rural areas to protect themselves and explore the world." Qin Zheng looked at Ye Jiao. "That's the time when I meet with you."
"I see."
Still, Ye Jiao didn't think that Qin Zheng came there to protect himself. He looked more like someone who came to look for trouble considering how many times this man clashed and created ruckuses. However, she had to admit that he would be still able to survive even if he was alone in that place.
Ye Jiao had finished applying medicine and placed the bottle on the table while Mu Xin unrolled her sleeves again. "Do you know any Ye Family?"
"Not in this kingdom."
That one sentence told her enough that her family didn't belong in the Xian Gu Kingdom. In the mainland, there were numerous kingdoms, and Xian Gu was only one of them. It would take her a long time if she wished to find her family considering the vast land.
"The Mu Family is also not in this kingdom. I come from another kingdom in the north," Mu Xin explained. "That senior of mine is an exchange student who comes from that kingdom. He knows my father's enemies and told me that he'll contact them about my whereabouts if I don't follow his commands."
"That's not possible," Qin Zheng shook his head.
"Why not?"
"Death Valley?" Ye Jiao found the name to be familiar. Looking at the vast black mark on the north of the Hua Shan Academy, she was surprised. It even reached slightly to the West, the icy region in the kingdom.
"It's the area where deaths are exceptionally common. Once you enter the place, you might not be able to get out," Qin Zheng explained calmly. "Even communication with Eon Energy is hard there. That's why the Hua Shan Academy is secluded from communicating with other kingdoms."
Mu Xin's expression changed. "But there's a communication line, right?"
"Yes and no," Qin Zheng pointed to the south of the mountains. "The only communication possible is if you rally it to the capital city, but even then, every communication to other kingdoms is heavily guarded. Unless that young man has a connection with higher ups, he won't be able to send a message outside without being regarded as a spy."
Ye Jiao frowned. "Zheng Ge."
"Yes?"
"I need a favor."
"What is it?"
"Can I trouble you to investigate him?"
Qin Zheng nodded. "It's easy. Bai Xiang."
"Yes, Master."
Mu Xin turned to the side. She was astonished when she saw Bai Xiang appear from the shadow. She did not sense that man's presence at all. Even though he might have been there for a long time.
Wait, didn't they lock the door? How did this young man come in so suddenly?
Ye Jiao smiled. "Thank you."
"Next time you find metal as valuable as Meteorite Lava, you should give it to me."
Ye Jiao: "…" now you're exhorting me?
Bai Xiang handed a paper to Qin Zheng. The young man read it for a moment then passed it to Mu Xin. Reading the content, Mu Xin felt as if her body was boiling in rage as the room temperature dropped dozens of degrees. The young woman's face was so chillingly cold that Bai Xiang quickly hid again.
Qin Zheng examined the surroundings and looked at Mu Xin once again. "You have an innate ice element talent?"
"I don't know," Mu Xin replied.
Ye Jiao tilted her head. "Even if you have innate talent, you shouldn't be able to produce this kind of effect, right?"
Mu Xin was only Eon Energy Master Rank 3, so it would be impossible for her to control the element. Besides, the ice element should be the intermediate element after water. Having her controlled water this early would be strange.
"Normally, it's impossible," Qin Zheng frowned. "I'll try to search for it again. This temperature is unique."
Even though when someone got angry, the atmosphere would turn cold, he could faintly sense a different coldness from Mu Xin. If it was just because her attitude normally was cold, it didn't seem to be that normal.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Qin," Mu Xin bowed. "I'm terribly sorry for inconveniencing you like this."
"It��s fine. Thanks to you I can get another metal from Ye Jiao."
Ye Jiao: "…" I should just stab him to death.
Mu Xin smiled lightly, showing a rare smile on her face. "I'll deal with him tomorrow."
"Wait, you mean you need to fight against numerous opponents again?" Ye Jiao interrupted. The sight of Mu Xin before clearly told her that she must be forced to fight her opponents consecutively without a break. Even though Mu Xin is powerful, it wouldn't be easy to fight 10 opponents one after another.
Mu Xin nodded. "Yes."
"Let me come with you tomorrow," Ye Jiao suggested.
"Don't you have your own training?"
"Tomorrow is break day," Qin Zheng said leisurely. "There's no morning training and no classes."
Ye Jiao grinned. "How's that, Xin Jie?"
"Sure, but what are you planning?"
"What's your deal with that man that I don't know the name of?"
Mu Xin giggled when she heard the way Ye Jiao called the man assigned to supervise her. "I just have to agree to fight 10 battles every day with the seniors he chooses."
"Right, there's no deals about the fight, right?" Ye Jiao grinned. "Leave it to me!"
Qin Zheng stood up. "After you have finished, go to the square, we're going to visit the market."
"Ah, you have finished making the sword?" Ye Jiao was surprised.
Qin Zheng shook his head. "I haven't finished making that fire sword. Senior Sister Lin says that it's a shame if I use it to create a sword just to sell, so I'm planning on using it for another thing. I have some other weapons that I need to sell."
"Alright, I'll go with you. Can Xin Jie come along?"
"Sure."
Ye Jiao stood up too. "See you later tomorrow, Xin Jie. Just rest for today."
Mu Xin nodded. She watched as Ye Jiao ran in small steps near Qin Zheng. Her lips curled up into a smile. Her little sister might no longer need her protection in this academy, but she would make sure that she was not left behind.
In the next moment, she began her training once again, and waves of Eon Energy entered her body at rapid speed.
