The streets are bustling with pedestrians. The shouting, the shouting, the noise. Xiao Chen and the three of them walked through this lively street, turned around and walked into a small alley deep in the depths of the master.

"Lao Hu, it seems that the opening ceremony of our academy can be carried out in advance. ”

"Hmm. Hu Facai nodded, he could understand what Xiao Chen was going to do. "Young Master wants to borrow the hand of Boss Nan to make a name for the academy?"

"That's right. Xiao Chen smiled. Strength is the backer! If you have strength, you will naturally dare to do it!

Stepping on the nomination qi on the head of the true martial arts realm boss, it is impossible to do without that strength.

"Lao Hu, tomorrow you will immediately set off, go to the other side of the big lake, and pick up the students who are willing to follow me, and if you are unwilling, ask them to cultivate well, this can be regarded as a potential strength. Xiao Chen didn't force these children, it was all up to their own will.

"Hmm... By the way, recruit another group of students from all areas on the other side of the Great Lake, and note that they must have good qualifications, and the number should not exceed 100. As for the aspect of the mind, I believe that Lao Hu, you have lived for so long, and you are a true martial arts realm cultivator, you should not be blind to some children. ”

"Oh. I'll start preparing when I get back later. Hu Facai and Xiao Chen also made an oath on the other side of the lake, so he naturally wanted to do things for Xiao Chen wholeheartedly.

And following Xiao Chen, it is much better than him working alone, and with the existence of an oath, he is not afraid that Xiao Chen will put him in injustice.

"When the time comes, when the students come, Elder Yu, you can choose one of them to be your own apprentice. ”

"Huh. I have no children and no daughters, and if I accept an apprentice, I can be regarded as a successor. You can't lose the things of your ancestors. ”

"Yes, such a good inheritance can't be lost!" The Yu forging method, Xiao Chen has also watched Yu Lao perform it many times, and some of the methods of using power, the control skills of the body's center of gravity, etc., are extremely profound, and there are even some places that even Xiao Chen himself can't understand. This made him wonder, was this Yu Clan's forging method created by a powerful martial artist?

"Tomorrow I have to go to the City Lord's Mansion to register and pay the taxes. So the morning's affairs can only be entrusted to you. ”

"Hmm. That's fine. I'm old, and it's long overdue to quit, and I've already contacted a new batch of blacksmiths, so it's fine. Yu Lao smiled, after so many years of iron, it was time to take a break.

The three of them walked in the direction of the Hoe Heaven Academy.

......

On the street, among the people coming and going, a girl in yellow, who looks no more than ten years old, constantly reflects the shadows of pedestrians on the road in her big watery eyes, she walks extremely fast, and it doesn't seem to be a big stride, but it is five or six meters away in the blink of an eye.

"Whoosh!"

A shadow suddenly appeared, and the passers-by didn't even feel anything, and the shadow passed by.

Suddenly, the shadow caught up with the girl in yellow, and after wrapping around her, it suddenly disappeared with the girl.

In a nearby alley, the girl in yellow suddenly appeared, and the shadow also stopped, and when she fixed her eyes, it was a middle-aged face.

"Whew~" Seeing the middle-aged man, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, Uncle Zhang, you're scared me to death!" the girl patted her chest.

"You're almost twenty years old, why are you still so fun-loving?" Uncle Zhang's expression was serious.

"Uncle Zhang~" The girl said coquettishly. "It's just so boring, I'm out for a walk. By the way, you just saw it, the body technique that I was taught the day before yesterday is really powerful! I didn't even use much strength to run so fast!"

"Hmph! You little troublemaker, do you know how important this mission is? This is related to the rise and fall of the family! If it weren't for the order of the head of the family, I would have sent you back last year!"

"Oops~ Uncle Zhang, don't, I won't be bad. ”

"Well, come with me to-morrow, lest you run around again. ”

"Huh?" the girl pouted. "Can you not go?"

"If you don't go, you can't do it! You take care of the family's daughter, okay, even if the people here don't know, then you are also the deputy hall master of the Xuanshui Hall! Let you swim outside all day, what kind of system will it be?"

The girl has a bitter gourd face.

"Qingqing, obedient. Let's go, come back with me!"

The middle-aged man 'Uncle Zhang' rolled up his sleeves and took the girl to turn into a shadow again and run through the crowd.

......

"Dad! I'm afraid!"

"Quick! Lao Xu, take Ning Ning and run away!"

"No, big brother, I'm not leaving! Ah Fang just take it, I'll ......."

"Poof!"

"No!!

"Woo~~Dad~~"

"Quack, quack, quack, none of you can escape today! haha!"

"Damn sand thieves, eat shit!

"Dad... Dad~~"

In my head, a childish voice echoed. After so many years, I always remember it clearly.

"No!" Hu Facai suddenly woke up, he sat up from the bed suddenly, and his whole body was already sweating profusely.

"Ning Ning, Ning Ning ......," Hu Facai muttered.

"I'm dreaming again. ”

Hu Facai had sadness in his eyes, and for more than 10 years, his longing for his family and brothers had never weakened in the slightest! He will never forget the battle of that year!

"Ning Ning, Dad is sorry for you!" his eyes were filled with pain, and then Hu Facai closed his eyes again.

An hour later.

Hu Facai has everything ready and is ready to go.

Xiao Chen was dressed in a white robe today, which was a little dazzling because of the sunlight.

"Did you bring enough money?"

"Enough for two hundred to enter the gates. ”

"You are all True Martial Realm cultivators, and there are no other dangers along the way, so there are no sand scorpions along the way, so there is no need to worry too much. But why do I still think you have something on your mind?" Xiao Chen tilted his head and looked at Hu Facai. "Because of what?"

Hu Facai was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "Young master, when I first entered the Great Lake, it was because of the sand thieves! I am a small businessman, and usually my brother or the dart bureau escorts the goods. Back then, I was defeated by my opponent in another Xuan-level city thousands of miles away from here, so I had no choice but to leave with my family and a batch of goods, thinking that I would be able to make a comeback in another city!"

Hu Facai smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. As we were heading towards Mangmo City with our dreams in mind, a group of sand thieves suddenly attacked us in the evening, and the convoy was soon dead. My brother died. My wife, my daughter, me, and some of my servants escaped in the darkness of the night. But the sand thieves are chasing after each other, and it is only a matter of time before they are caught up. In order to have one more person alive, we can only divide into three ways. Daughter, wife, life and death are uncertain!"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard Hu Facai finish telling his story. Profit, that is a force that can destroy human nature!

At that moment, I suddenly felt that Hu Facai was like an old man in the twilight. Perhaps, only by finding his family can this dead wood be able to rejuvenate again.

"Lao Hu, do you miss your family?"

Hu Facai nodded.

"If your daughter lived to be this far, how old would she be?"

Hu Facai suddenly fell into deep memories again.

"Sixteen, almost seventeen. ”

"So small!" Xiao Chen thought for a while, and said, "Old Hu, from now on, in the next three years, the age requirements for the students enrolled by Hotian Academy can be adjusted to be between ten and eighteen years old!"

"Young Master!" Hu Facai's eyes suddenly burst into an inexplicable light. "Are you trying to help me find my daughter?"

"You were attacked around Mangmo City, so if your daughter escaped, she should be in Mangmo City. Xiao Chen was very clear. The flow of water in Mangmo City is too small, and it is already the limit to support tens of thousands of people. Therefore, there is no farmland around the outside of Mangmo City, and things are provided in other cities and villages in the jurisdiction of Mangmo City. There is a large area around Mangmo City without any villages, so according to the situation at that time, Hu Facai's daughter could only come to Mangmo City.

"After the incident of Boss Nan, the reputation has been hit. Coupled with such a low registration threshold, I believe that almost everyone in Mangmo City will know the name of Hotian Academy. ”

"And, old Hu. Not only will I help you find your daughter, but I will also help you find the rest of your family!"

Hu Facai's body trembled when he heard this. Without hesitation, Hu Facai knelt on the ground and said, "Young Master Xie!"

"Don't thank me. Xiao Chen smiled and slammed his foot on Hu Facai's knee, making him unable to kneel.

"Also, I don't like people kneeling on me. It's going to look old!"

"Yes, young master!"

"Alright. Go!" Xiao Chen patted Hu Facai on the shoulder.

Hu Facai is gone.

The college was previously divided into four areas by Xiao Chen, and the construction team would demolish the old buildings and build the new college infrastructure one area at a time. There are four phases of the project.

In Mangmo City, any tavern, shop, school, dart board, etc., must be registered in the City Lord's Mansion, and a certain amount of taxes must be paid every month.

This is the rule.

The City Lord's Mansion is next to the Desert Domain Mansion's stationed branch, and the two are back-to-back buildings.

And the Moyu Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion were in the middle of the Momo City, and Xiao Chen soon came here.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, and you can see the buildings in the City Lord's Mansion and the Desert Mansion from a distance. Colorful glazed tiles, brown wooden windows, the color of the whole building is very good.

The gate of the Castle Lord's Mansion.

The gates of the City Lord's Mansion were always wide open, and the guards came in and out from time to time. The gate was five meters wide, and as soon as Xiao Chen walked to the door, he was tested by the guards guarding here.

"Idlers are not allowed to enter!" the guards did not change their expressions.

With his hand flipped in his sleeve, a copper-yellow gold medal appeared in Xiao Chen's hand. Raising the token, I saw that the bronze gold medal was engraved with the word 'desert domain', exuding a thick and ancient atmosphere.

"Huh?" the two guards froze.

"The True Martial Realm level token sent by the Desert Domain Mansion?" The hearts of the two suddenly set off a stormy wave.

"Quick, quick, adults, please come in! It's small, there are no eyes, and there are no beads! Adults don't remember villains......

Xiao Chen didn't pay much attention to it. Seeing that the two guards were no longer in the way, they went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
