Chapter 1375 Stronger
After Fu Xueqin finished tidying up her niece, she then inquired about another person.
"You must be Sikong Lanchun, right?"
"Shu Yun often mentioned you to me, you should help each other more at the academy."
Although the academy Fu Xueqin attended was not the same as theirs, there were many similarities in their daily lives besides the teachers and their specialties.
They would even spar and exchange ideas frequently.
Academies were one of the most important forces in the Luosheng Dynasty.
At this moment, Fu Xueqin was already calculating how to help Chen Yang stop the Luosheng Dynasty's attack.
Academies were the most likely force to lean towards Chen Yang, and they were the only ones she could possibly influence.
Sikong Lanchun looked at Fu Xueqin with some nervousness.
Others didn't know what Fu Xueqin had done at the academy to make her leave, but she knew it clearly.
Sikong Lanchun felt not just respect for Fu Xueqin, but also a trace of fear and dread.
"What? Aunt, you're going to the Luosheng Dynasty with this Chen Yang?"
"Didn't you say you'd never go back there again?"
Fu Shuyun couldn't understand what kind of spell this Supreme Chen Yang had cast on her aunt. Her aunt had never expressed a desire to return to the Luosheng Dynasty for so many years.
How could she be willing to go with him after just meeting him?
Fu Shuyun had already learned that Supreme Chen Yang was not her aunt's classmate.
They were truly meeting for the first time, and they had only been healing just now.
Fu Xueqin realized she was spoiling her niece a bit too much and said in a rather cold tone, "What, are you going to control me now, Aunt?"
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the room turned cold.
Lie Changsheng, who had been silent, quickly smiled and said, "Esteemed Imperial Advisor, please don't be angry. Shu Yun is just worried about you."
"It's a coincidence that Shu Yun is also returning to the academy in a few days. I think it would be good to travel together."
When Lie Changsheng said the second sentence, his eyes clearly drifted towards Fu Shuyun.
Fu Shuyun, being very clever, seized the opportunity and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Aunt. We're going to the academy in two days."
"Aunt, please take me with you! I feel like it might be dangerous if it's just the two of us on the road."
Fu Shuyun lightly kicked Sikong Lanchun with her foot. Sikong Lanchun, who had reacted, also smiled, "Shu Yun and I didn't arrange to meet any other classmates this time, so it's indeed just the two of us traveling back to the academy."
Fu Xueqin snorted coldly, but finally nodded. If she didn't care about her own niece, who would?
After a brief chat, Fu Xueqin took Chen Yang and left the hall, heading towards the back garden.
Chen Yang had only sat by and listened the entire time. Seeing Chen Yang remain silent, Fu Xueqin felt a bit nervous for some reason.
"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "When can we leave?"
This was the question Chen Yang cared about most. He was very worried about the Qin family's situation.
Fu Xueqin's expression was still serious. She stopped talking and sat down at the chessboard in the back garden, picked up a black piece, and made a move.
Chen Yang realized what she was doing and that she wanted to play chess with him. Thinking that he would need her help with many things later, Chen Yang could only sigh helplessly and sit down.
However, Chen Yang did not win.
Fu Xueqin, having achieved victory, smiled happily, "I knew it, my chess skills haven't declined!"
Seeing the strange expression on Chen Yang's face, Fu Xueqin began to explain.
"There are hundreds of academies, large and small, in the Luosheng Dynasty."
"Among them, there are only four top academies, all located in Luosheng City within the Luosheng Dynasty."
"They are Cangxuan Academy, Chenyin Academy, Danqing Academy, and Linchi Academy."
"Although the academies teach everything, the four academies each have their own focus, namely zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting."
"Cangxuan Academy teaches chess, using the way of chess to traverse all things."
"The academy where Sikong Lanchun and Fu Shuyun attend teaches calligraphy, and it is Linchi Academy."
At this point, Fu Xueqin suddenly paused. It seemed as if she was recalling a distant memory. After a long while, she continued in a low voice, "The four academies have opportunities for sparring and exchanges from time to time. Although they are all top academies, Linchi Academy has always held the first place, followed by the competition between Cangxuan Academy and Danqing Academy for second place."
Chen Yang was stunned. "Doesn't Chenyin Academy have the strength to contend for second place with your two academies?"
In response to Chen Yang's question, Fu Xueqin shrugged helplessly. "The teachers at Chenyin Academy generally don't get involved in these matters. Their miscellaneous studies are very strong. Not only in music and zither, but also in artifact refining and medicine, they are the strongest."
"When I represented Cangxuan Academy in the competition, I accidentally injured a few people. If it weren't for that incident, I might be a teacher at Cangxuan Academy now."
"The reason I'm telling you this is because I don't want to keep it from you. I have a few enemies in the Luosheng Dynasty, and they are from the academies. They should all be teachers now."
Hearing this, Chen Yang finally understood. Fu Xueqin was worried that her personal affairs might delay him or even hold him back.
Chen Yang shook his head with a wry smile, "I never expected anyone from the Luosheng Dynasty to help me in the first place. The main thing is to understand from within how many Nascent Soul realm cultivators they have, and even stronger existences."
"After all, know yourself and your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles."
Just as they were talking, a person appeared outside the door.
The gatekeeper of the Imperial Advisor's Mansion trembled when he saw the person. Just as he was about to speak, the other party had already walked over, "Are the people inside?"
The gatekeeper quickly replied, "They are playing chess in the back garden. Princess Shu Yun and the one from the Sikong family are in the main hall."
In the next second, a gust of wind blew past, and the figure vanished. The gatekeeper dared not say anything more and could only close the door tightly.
In the back garden, Chen Yang immediately felt a mysterious aura appear behind them.
It was a cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation realm!
Fu Xueqin's reaction was slightly slower, but after noticing Chen Yang's changed expression, she also immediately spotted the newcomer.
Fu Xueqin looked at the person with some surprise and asked, "Huh? Brother, why are you here?"
She then introduced Chen Yang to him, "This is my brother, and he is also the Flying Cloud Martial Emperor of the Flying Cloud Dynasty."
