Chapter 16: Changfeng Academy
Early the next morning, the three of them casually packed up and went on the road again.
On the way, he stayed in Zhichi for one night, Zigong for one night, and finally arrived in Handan on the morning of the third day.
Qi Ran decided to go to the academy first, after all, even if you go to the lieutenant's mansion immediately, people may not pay attention to you. I went to the academy, and I told the old dean about the proposal, and by the way, I asked for a letter of recommendation to go to the lieutenant's mansion.
After arranging a place for Jin Beibei to stay, Qi Ran and Song Wanqing drove towards the academy.
Handan is worthy of being the national capital of Zhao State, with roads extending in all directions, pedestrians on the road and vehicles flowing endlessly.
There are many high-rise buildings, like monsters pouring cement, walking through them, there seems to be an inexplicable oppressive force, which makes Qi Ran slightly uncomfortable,
After a twist and turn, the vehicle stopped steadily at the door with several big characters of Changfeng Academy.
In fact, this was also Qi Ran's first time at Changfeng Academy.
The big characters of Changfeng Academy on the electronic screen at the door are extremely eye-catching, and at this time, the sun is rising, and the golden light shines over, reflecting on the students who come and go, comfortable and quiet.
Song Wanqing kept smiling and nodded to the juniors who came and went to greet him.
Seeing that the senior sister was actually standing with a strange man, a group of onlookers came up curiously around.
"Let's go!" Qi Ran exhaled, inexplicably a little nervous.
Although the old dean joked on the phone that he would let him propose marriage, but when it came to this point, he was a little drumming in his heart.
Not long after, a neatly dressed middle-aged man came out of it, and Song Wanqing said politely, "Uncle Lin!" and then handed over the car keys.
When I entered the gate of the academy, the first thing that caught my eye was a magnificent building about ten stories high, and I secretly guessed that this should be the place where theory classes were taught.
Skirting the building, there is a quiet meadow, and in the distance there is a large lake, a path that divides the whole meadow in two, and a few willow trees are faintly planted on either side, and the tender branches of the trees swing in the wind.
This kind of serious academic style is really very different from the old sect they inherited, this is what Qi Ran's ideal charm gate should look like, and the construction of the sect is the most inexpensive to save money, but Pei Yuan just doesn't understand this truth.
The two of them walked for a full twenty minutes before they finally walked through the grass and arrived in front of the building complex behind.
This is a small two-story building with an elegant environment. Most of the excellent tutors of the academy live here.
Song Wanqing dragged Qi Ran, who was a little dazed: "What's the matter, nervous?"
Qi Ran stiffened his head and said, "How could it be... Haha, where does the old dean live?"
Song Wanqing saw that Qi Ran looked helpless and desperate, so she couldn't help but smile, and then took his hand and walked towards a building.
"Grandpa! I'm back. Opening the door, Song Wanqing poked her head in, and an old man in a gray robe was lying on the sofa in the living room, his eyes slightly squinting at a drawing in his hand.
After hearing the voice, the old man stood up, the wrinkles on his face were instantly covered, and Yan Ran had a gentle and kind face.
Qi Ran was stunned, time flies, twelve years have not been seen, and the old dean has changed quite dramatically from the appearance in his memory. The most striking thing is his gray, sparse hair.
He bowed respectfully, and then greeted, "Hello Grandpa Song!" If it weren't for the news brought by the old dean, Qi Ran wouldn't even know that Zhao Guo was ready to attack Bian Liang, so this sentence, Qi Ran was from the bottom of his heart.
The old dean nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Xiao Ran, your own family doesn't have to be so polite." ”
The three of them sat down, and Qi Ran said: "Grandpa Song! There are two main things for me to come to Handan this time, I won't go around in circles with you, I want to marry Wanqing." Speaking of this, Qi Ran didn't speak again, tentatively looked at the old man's face, and found that the old dean was still kind, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"You also know, Wanqing and I have been growing up since childhood, although we haven't seen each other much since then, but we have been using the sound transmission stone to contact, and we are childhood sweethearts. That's why I'm here to ask you to agree to this marriage. ”
The old man smiled and said with relief: "Wanqing's parents passed away early, I am his only relative, and now my body is not as good as day by day, this matter is better than later." ”
Qi Ran said excitedly: "So you agreed?"
The old dean turned his eyes to Song Wanqing on the side, and asked dotingly, "I allow you to make your own decisions about this matter." ”
Song Wanqing's cheeks were a little flushed at the moment, like a ripe red apple, and she nodded quietly.
Qi Ran took out the Ruyi gourd from his waist, and with a movement of his mind, a blue-blue long sword appeared in his hand.
The old dean couldn't help but be stunned, and Xuan immediately joked: "I don't dare to accept such a valuable dowry!"
Besides, if the old man knew that I had given the Holy Spirit Sword to others casually, he would probably have jumped out of the coffin board and choked my neck. ”
"So, you kid want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?" said the old dean with a smile.
"Someone has already made a move on the Holy Spirit Sword, although my formation in the back mountain is thorough, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes, if this sword falls into the hands of people with bad intentions, boy, I will not be a sinner for thousands of years!" Qi Ran sighed, this is a reluctant invitation, but the current situation of the Charm Gate, there is really no extra energy to guard him all day.
"Of course, don't worry, I didn't come empty-handed this time, the dowry naturally has to be sincere, do you think this is enough?"
The old dean looked at it in response, and saw Qi Ran holding a somewhat dilapidated notebook in his hand, and his expression was stunned: "This is?"
Qi Ran said with a smile: "I know that the dean is interested in the cultivation method of the Talisman Sect, and you also specially sent a disciple to study, in fact, the sect does not have any secrets that are not passed on to the outside world, and we naturally don't mind the things that can make the Talisman Famous in the world." This is my experience in formations and charms over the years, and with this knowledge, I think the academy should be able to teach some knowledge about charms on its own. ”
Qi Ran's comprehension ability in talismans is clear to the old dean, Feng Yutian once said to him personally when he was playing chess that the proudest thing in his life is to accept Qi Ran's apprentice, and the future talisman will definitely regain its glory under his leadership.
It can be seen that Feng Yutian's expectations for Qi Ran at that time were quite high.
This experience can be said to be a very precious gift, and the old dean didn't expect that Qi Ran would actually hand over such an important thing to him.
It was precisely because he understood the importance of this thing that the old dean didn't even take a hustle, he knew that with this thing, the influence of Changfeng Academy in the entire Zhao Kingdom would go further.
"So what are you going to do about Bian Liang?"
Qi Ran said in a sharp tone: "Go and explore Yang Sheng's bottom first, it's really not good, just do it with him!"
The old dean smiled heartily, his eyes full of relief.
That old fellow!
It's a good apprentice!
