Chapter 55: Roots

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

By the time Lin Xuan had finished settling the house matters and walked out of the property hall, it was already afternoon.

Looking at the sky, he returned to the ability user guild and bought a few portions of spirit nurturing food. Carrying this food, Lin Xuan went back to the resettlement room to look for Lin Xiaoran.

“Xiaoran, quickly open the door. Look what I brought for you… Oh, you’re here too. Sorry to disturb you guys. I didn’t see anything. You guys can continue.”

This was the second time it ever happened. Ever since he entered high school, Lin Xuan had basically stayed in the ability user guild. He didn’t go back. He still remembered that the last time he came back to look for Lin Xiaoran, it was also Li Zifei who opened the door. At that time, she said that she was looking for him… it would not be the same, right?

“Come in.” Lin Xiaoran stuck his head out and looked at Lin Xuan expressionlessly. “The last time this happened…”

Lin Xuan didn’t feel anything. He handed the spiritual food to Lin Xiaoran and walked in swaggeringly. Well, the place still looked the same.

There was no food on the only wooden table in the room. Instead, there was a stack of employment contracts neatly placed there. It was very eye-catching. Lin Xuan saw it with just a glance.

“Are you preparing to form a fixed team?”

Lin Xuan looked at Lin Xiaoran. This guy was quite handsome. In addition to his S grade healing talent, his looks could kill. There was no need for him to be in such a hurry to determine his future.

“Are you hungry?”

It was almost lunchtime. Lin Xiaoran put the unsigned contract aside and beckoned for Lin Xuan and Li Zifei to sit down. “Let’s talk while we eat.”

Before Lin Xiaoran and Lin Xuan could speak, Li Zifei spoke first, “Lin Xuan, you’re the same as Lin Xiaoran. You’re an orphan. You have to work hard to obtain all the resources in life. Now, there’s a convenient path in front of you. Take a look at this contract.”

She couldn’t play the emotional card and directly used the resources to crush him. As she spoke, she took out another contract from her bag and handed it to Lin Xuan.

......

Lin Xuan didn’t take it. He waved his hand and told Lin Xiaoran about his purpose in coming.

“No thanks, I’m leaving Dongning City!”

“What? Leaving Dongning City? Where are you going? What about school?”

Lin Xiaoran had a lot of questions and seemed to be a little anxious. To be honest, he still had some ideas on how to pull Lin Xuan into their team. A powerful guardian could solve a lot of problems.

Li Zifei also frowned. When Lin Xuan revealed his powerful strength, she was determined to get Lin Xuan. She was not an id*ot like Lin Quan, who had an A grade talent and dragged an S grade talent into the mud. Li Zifei had an S grade talent in attack, and her family background was one of the best in Dongning City. She was confident that she would be able to rope in Lin Xuan.

“I’ll be going to the Imperial Capital for school.”

“That’s in the Imperial City!”

“The Imperial City?!”

Lin Xiaoran didn’t know the relationship between Lin Xuan and the Imperial Capital school.

Li Zifei squealed in surprise. As a more experienced girl, she instantly understood that Lin Xuan was invited to transfer schools, just like her elder brother.

“Which school invited you to transfer schools? The Imperial City is the center of Taixia Country. However, there are all sorts of people in there. If an unknown school invites you, reject it. Not to mention the educational resources, it’s not easy to live in the Imperial City with a low cost.”

It was not easy to live in the Imperial City at all!

Lin Xiaoran also nodded in agreement. A huge city was prosperous and gloomy while a small village was tranquil and stable.

“Imperial Capital first high school.”

Lin Xiaoran was a bit confused. ‘Oh, that sounds familiar.’

On the other hand, Li Zifei’s face had changed greatly. That was the top school in Taixia Country, the first pick of every outstanding student.

Lin Xiaoran gradually recovered his composure as he replied with a shocked look, “No, it might be a scam. Who asked you this?”

Lin Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile. He didn’t believe that the old man was the principal of that school. However, the pitch-black shadow behind the old man was too terrifying. His dragon and giant bloodline were both suppressed by the power it exuded. Later on… through public information, it was revealed that the shadowy thing was the principal’s shadow of darkness!

“It can’t be a lie. I’ve checked. The principal from that school was the one that asked me. He had the same familiar that I saw on the news.”

“Who? Principal Qingming?”

Lin Xuan was full of surprises today. One after another surprises came out. She never expected him to be personally invited to that prestigious school at all! Her first reaction was surprising. Then, she wanted Lin Xuan to introduce her to him. She was willing to do anything to join that school!

“Lin Xuan, I have a presumptuous request, perhaps if you could…”

Li Zifei said a little bashfully. Although she was a little embarrassed, this bit of embarrassment was nothing compared to being able to go to that school at all.

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Lin Xuan. “Since it’s a presumptuous request, then please don’t talk any further. It might hurt my feelings.”

Li Zifei was embarrassed. She thought for a while and agreed. In the end, she didn’t say anything. In her opinion, Lin Xuan was lucky to be invited, but he might not be able to survive there for long. Compared to this request… she might as well ask her family to look for connections. That would be more reliable.

“Alright, I’ll be leaving first. Oh right, Lin Xiaoran, if you sign the contract… Forget it. Tomorrow.”

Li Zifei hurriedly left. Lin Xuan and Lin Xiaoran exchanged a glance with each other as they revealed a bitter smile at the same time.

“I’m leaving too. I’ve prepared a farewell gift for you. Taixia Country is so big. I hope we can bump into each other soon.”

As he said that, he pushed the bloodline card over to Lin Xiaoran along with the 3 million dollar voucher. This dollar gift could only be used in Dongning City, so he had no more use for it.

“A bloodline card?”

At this moment, Lin Xiaoran was really shocked by the gifts.

“This is too precious, I can’t accept it, and you yourself…”

Before he could finish his words, Lin Xuan’s eyes turned into dragon eyes, and the terrifying dragon aura burst out, causing Lin Xiaoran to freeze for a moment. “I already have a bloodline card, this is the one I just got, it’s just right for you.”

A dragon aura?!

Lin Xiaoran subconsciously held his breath. Was that the bloodline of a giant dragon?

“Take it. We grew up together. I refuse to hear bad news about you, okay? You must live well!”

Lin Xiaoran still shook his head and looked at the gifts he gained. “It’s too precious!”

“Alright then, write me letters when you have the time. Take this as a form of rent. You have to return it to me in the future!”

“Alright!”

Early the next morning, Lin Xuan quickly completed the transfer procedures. As expected, Li Zifei did not manage to enter the Imperial Capital’s first high school. She pulled all her connections and still to no avail.

After a purple-gold figure rose into the air, many people were in a state of shock. On top of the purple-gold figure, Lin Xuan sat upright. Behind him were the beautiful Lin sisters, looking at the increasingly smaller and smaller Dongning City, Lin Xuan could not help but be lost in thought. He had been born and raised here, and now he was finally spreading his wings to fly!

He only hoped that after leaving, he would return as a wiser man. Even if he travels through the mountains and rivers, he would never forget his roots.
