Seeing that Qi Zhankou looked like he couldn't do anything to her and said that she could do whatever she wanted as long as she didn't cause any trouble, An Ling suddenly felt a little guilty. Oh my god, she really made a big mess!

An Ling was a little embarrassed. She looked around and scratched her head, saying, "Uh, General, you don't have to be like this. I'm definitely a good kid and I won't cause trouble everywhere. You can rest assured!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhankou became even more panicked. He groaned twice and his head began to hurt. This girl's ability to cause trouble was comparable to that of his stupid little son!

He calmed himself down and said, "Yes, I believe Lady An will help us Tianxing people get through this difficult time."

……

An Ling walked out of the military camp unscathed. Qin Lanzhi, who was waiting at the door, came over immediately, grabbed An Ling's arm and looked her up and down, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was scared to death. Fortunately, you are okay."

An Ling smiled and knocked on Qin Lanzhi's head, saying, "Hey, you've said this many times, right? Is your sister An someone who needs to be worried about? I'm so powerful, of course I can turn danger into safety!"

Qin Lanzhi chuckled and narrowed her eyes, looking very cute.

"Ahem." The voice of a middle-aged man sounded nearby, breaking the atmosphere between the two. An Ling looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe and a turban on his head. His eyes were sparkling, but not at all aggressive. He only made people feel that he was very alert. He had clean beard on both sides of his philtrum and under his lips, and looked very elegant and generous.

He smiled and handed An Ling a thread-bound book, explaining, "Hello, Miss An. I am Lu Zhanchi from Shanhai Academy. This is a magical instrument that the general asked me to give you. It can be used to contain demons and monsters, but the level that can be sealed here is limited, especially it cannot exceed the upper limit of one's spiritual power."

An Ling cried out, and although she really wanted it, she still declined according to the tradition of the Celestial Empire: "Oh, no, Mr. Lu, this magic weapon is too expensive!"

Lu Zhanchi knew what the little girl was thinking at a glance. He smiled kindly and said, "Take it. This is also a must-have item for our Shanhai Academy disciples when they go out to travel. I just happen to have an extra copy. I will lend it to you and let it find another owner who needs it more."

The gentle voice and the words that are as refreshing as spring breeze, he is worthy of being someone who graduated from an academy, he really knows how to talk!

Seeing this, An Ling couldn't refuse any more, so she happily "reluctantly" accepted it. She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Shanhai Academy? Could it be the 'No. 1 Academy in the World' located in Jiangning?!"

Lu Zhanchi said with a smile: "There are many knowledgeable people in the world, how dare Shanhai claim to be the best? It's just a little flattery from the people in the martial arts world."

……

Jiangning, the ancient capital of 11 dynasties, has witnessed countless rise and fall, all of which were witnessed in this ancient city that has seen thousands of ships pass by and has been washed away by all the dust.

Guiyan Pagoda, Bailu Residence, Ziye Pavilion... many of the well-known "iconic landmark buildings" of the Daxuan Dynasty are located here. Even though they are famous for various reasons, none of them can shake the status of Shanhai Academy in Jiangning, or even in the entire Daxuan.

If there is still a person who lives in a remote area and is completely isolated from the city and has never heard of this academy, then he will probably be laughed at the moment he asks about it.

Even if we include those "mountain people" whose whereabouts are elusive, no one in the world is worthy of saying that "Shanhai Academy" is worthy of the words "best in the world".

Shanhai Academy advocates teaching without distinction, and students are not divided into high and low status, only talent and understanding are considered, and its unique philosophy and teaching resources attract talents from all over the world to study. Although the most important "Heavenly Scroll" practice of the academy can only be practiced by Daxuan people, even overseas human races can enter the academy for further study as long as they sign a Heavenly Dao Contract with the academy, promise that the knowledge they learn is only for the development of the ethnic group, and never do anything that is detrimental to Daxuan in their lifetime, and learn "worldly skills" that can increase crop yields, automatic mechanisms, etc., or practice methods to improve their own strength.

After thousands of years, such academies with students all over the world finally created a grand scene that was unimaginable to the predecessors: students of all ethnic groups, regardless of their status, traveled together to various places for their final "ten thousand miles of practice". Wherever they went, no matter what their identity or region, they had to treat the teachers and students of the academy with courtesy.

An Ling bowed solemnly to Lu Zhanchi and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu. I'm sorry for the offense I caused you before. I hope you can forgive me." It's not that An Ling was being polite, but her master, Liu Xiahui, one of the Three Immortals of the East China Sea, was a graduate of Shanhai Academy. As a disciple, An Ling had to treat the teacher of the academy with courtesy.

She said excitedly: "Sir, my teacher's surname is Liu, and his name is Xiahui. May I ask..."

When Liu Xiahui's name came out, Lu Zhanchi's face changed instantly. He waved to An Ling and whispered, "Is it Minister Liu?"

An Ling originally thought that Second Master had been rehabilitated and nothing would happen. But now it seems that his name is still a taboo.

Lu Zhanchi pulled An Ling aside, looked around, took out a brush from his sleeve, and wrote the word "静" in a flamboyant style in the air. Then the large ink characters floating in the air flashed golden light, and then scattered in a circle around the two of them, forming a soundproof formation.

An Ling nodded secretly. This skill of forming an array with words was truly amazing. She was worthy of being a graduate of Shanhai Academy.

Lu Zhanchi kept his mouth still to avoid being lip-read. He explained to An Ling, "Just in case, I'll talk and you just listen."

An Ling nodded and listened carefully to Lu Zhanchi's words.

It turned out that the now deceased emperor had made great preparations to expand territory, and had imposed taxes without regard for the lives of the people, and had even done many dirty things. Liu Xiahui, the then Minister of War, had tried to persuade him many times but to no avail. Finally, he was framed by his political enemies at a court meeting and was thrown into a secret jail for a year. By the time his teachers and friends in the academy and other party friends rescued him, he had gone completely crazy.

When Lu Zhanchi heard that Liu Xiahui was not dead, he was naturally surprised and happy. Liu Xiahui was a very loyal and righteous man. It was a pity that he disappeared after recuperating in the academy. Now he finally heard news about him again, which was really joyful.

He asked anxiously, "How is Brother Liu now? Where is he? Is he doing well?" He added, "Wait, let me use his telepathy."

Lu Zhanchi took out a brush and wrote an entire article in the air, and a wisp of clear air wrapped around An Ling.

An Ling tentatively said in her heart: "Hello, hello? Mr. Lu?"

"I can hear you."

"My Second Master and his two brothers and sisters fought for justice in the East China Sea and saved many fishermen like me. We revered them as the 'Three Immortals of the East China Sea'. They are my masters and my lifelong role models! Unfortunately, I only know that they met with an accident, but I don't even know what happened."

"Something has happened in the East China Sea..." Lu Zhanchi's eyes turned red. He was once a classmate and good friend of Liu Xiahui. Now that he finally heard the news about his old friend, how could he not be excited.

"Thank you for bringing this news. I must inform the teacher and other students. Before, the teacher has been deeply sorry for his departure. Now the dust has finally settled!" He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to An Ling and said, "Miss An, I have something to discuss with you after nightfall. I hope you can come."
