Chapter 1944: The New Dean

ng Yuan knew he was in the wrong, so he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.It's not my fault, he's just too poisonous.My Extreme Sword Sect has already conceded defeat, yet he st..."Alright then!"

Ye Bufan eventually agreed, firstly because he had no other choice, and secondly because he knew this old man had no ill intentions towards him besides his love for good wine.

"Excellent! I officially announce, you are now the Dean of the Tiānfēng Imperial Branch of the Lingxiao Academy. Assume your post immediately, hahaha…"

At the end, Li Daoran burst into a fit of laughter, seeming even happier than when he had received those wines earlier.

Seeing the old man like this, Ye Bufan had a bad feeling in his heart. How did he feel like he had fallen into a pit

Li Daoran reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Little guy, do a good job. The responsibility of carrying on the legacy of Lingxiao Academy will fall on your shoulders in the future."

"Wait a minute!" Ye Bufan suddenly remembered something and said, "If I become the Dean, can I still participate in the newcomer ranking tournament"

This is a very important issue for him. It's crucial to avoid being hunted by the Cangfeng Academy, but participating in the new recruit ranking tournament is equally indispensable. Otherwise, how could he get the Red Yuan Fruit

"Don't worry, there's no problem at all," Li Dao ran said, patting his chest. "The conditions for the newcomer ranking match are just to be under twenty-five years old. There are no other requirements."

Whether you are a dean or an associate dean, as long as you are of the right age, you can participate.

"Oh!"

Only then did Ye Bufan let go of the tension he had been carrying.

Since taking on this position, one must enter the role. He asked, "Senior, where is the location of our Lingxiao Academy"

"This is it." Li Daoran pointed at the main hall. "This is our Lingxiao Academy. It's just a little dilapidated, and I, as an old man, don't have money to repair it. From now on, this task will be yours."

"Are you saying that our department has no budget at all"

Ye Bufan was stunned. Although he had a lot of money now, this wasn't how he intended to spend it.

Li Dao ran shrugged, "There was a little bit before, but yesterday the last ten gold coins were spent drinking. I don't have a penny now."

"Uh..."

Faced with this result, Ye Bufan was speechless. He then asked, "How many people are there in our academy"

Upon hearing his question, Li Dao ran directly extended three fingers.

"Three hundred" Ye Bufan asked in confusion.

"No, it's three." Li Daoran retracted his fingers. "I have resigned from the position of Dean now, and I am considered an elder of the academy."

With you as the dean and one student, there are three of us in total.

Three people…

Ye Bufan was at a loss for words. He had seen the scale of Cangfeng Academy, with a student population of roughly 30,000.

And on their side, there were only three people, including the dean. No wonder they had been in Tianfeng City for so long and hadn't heard of Lingxiao Academy. It seemed to have fallen to such a state.

Li Dao-ran said, "Young man, don't be discouraged. Although we are a bit short of people now, I believe that with you as the dean, the future prospects will still be very good!"

Ye Bufan shook his head, it didn't matter how many people were in the academy, as long as he could achieve his goal.

He asked, "Senior, as far as I know, the previous Lingxiao Academy was on par with Cangfeng Academy, but how could it have fallen to this state"

"This is a long story."

A trace of vicissitudes and desolation flashed in Li Daoran's eyes, "Well, let's recover from our injuries first. I'll tell you more when we have the chance."

After finishing his words, he stood up, waved his robe sleeve, collecting all the fine wine, and then strode out of the hall.

After Li Dao-ran left, the entire spacious hall was left with only Ye Bufan.

He shook his head again, knowing that being the dean certainly wasn't easy, but no matter what, this old man had saved him. Doing something for him was the least he could do, a way to repay his kindness.

and this dean is not doing it for nothing, he can help himself resolve the current crisis, and at the same time he can help himself get qualified for the new recruit ranking tournament.

Thinking this, he no longer thought of anything else. He began to sit cross-legged on the ground, focusing all his energy on cultivating and recovering from his injuries.

Huitian Dan is a holy medicine for healing wounds. Coupled with his Fire Refining Body Art, he has already reached a small accomplishment. With his true qi running at full power, his injuries are recovering at an extremely fast rate.

About an hour later, Ye Bufan opened his eyes again. At this moment, the injuries in his body had recovered seven or eight-tenths.

He stood up from the ground, Li Dao-ran was still nowhere to be seen. He didn't know where the old man had gone again.

He strode out of the hall. Since he was going to be the headmaster here from now on, he needed to get a sense of his domain.

Outside the main hall, one could see a scene of chaos, with weeds growing everywhere.

He circled the area, and the entire Liuxiao Academy was quite large, even comparable in size to Changfeng Academy.

It's just ruins everywhere, with many buildings reduced to rubble and dilapidated.

But from these scattered houses, one can still faintly see how glorious this place used to be. It is unknown what exactly happened that caused it to fall into such a state.

Having seen enough, his gaze finally fell upon a row of houses behind the main hall.

In contrast, the buildings here are relatively well-preserved and neat, likely residential structures.

Li Dao-ran, the old man, ran off by himself and didn't arrange a place to stay. He couldn't sleep in the main hall at night.

Thinking this, he walked towards the row of houses, hoping to find a clean one for himself.

The entire Lingxiao Academy was deathly silent, and this house was no exception. There wasn't a sound to be heard, nor a flicker of light.

Ye Bufan took a look and finally chose the house in the middle. He pushed open the door and walked in.

As a cultivator, although he has spiritual power, his divine sense is generally not projected outwards.

That would consume a lot of mental energy, and having all sorts of complex information entering your brain is also a huge burden, making you feel very uncomfortable.

He thought all the houses here were abandoned, so he didn't knock on the door and just pushed it open and walked in.

The door was very old and creaked loudly when opened.

When Ye Bufan saw the scene in the room, he was instantly stunned.

Originally, there was someone living here, and it was a woman. It wasn't just that she was a woman, but the worst part was that she was taking a bath.

In the room at this moment, a woman is lying comfortably in a bathtub, her head resting against the back, her wet hair cascading over her fair skin.

The bathtub is large, with a woman reclining half-submerged in it. While she's not overtly curvaceous, her figure is incredibly toned and possesses an alluringly graceful form. Her legs are casually splayed out on either side of the tub.

Although it was night and the room was dark, Ye Bufan's six senses far surpassed those of ordinary people. He saw what he should have seen, and he also saw clearly what he shouldn't have seen.

At this moment, he was completely shocked and couldn't describe his feelings. Damn that slovenly old man, why didn't he tell him another student was a woman

The woman has her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep from soaking in the bath for too long.

To be precise, she had just fallen asleep. Hearing the noise, she immediately opened her eyes. A pair of beautiful big eyes looked over with incredible sharpness. level is too low. If I encounter another beast like that one, I will definitely lose my life."But the secret realm can't be left for three days. I want to leave now, but I can't. Could you please let...
