Doupo: Marry a Young Doctor and Be Rewarded with Douhuang Cultivation

36: Canaan College, here I come!That night, Maple City was peaceful.

Ever since Xiao Ze unified Maple City, he established a rule: fighting is strictly forbidden on the streets, and violators will be expelled from Maple City.

Therefore, in just half a month, the order within Maple City had improved by several levels.

At this moment, in the sleeping quarters, Xiao Ze was enthusiastically playing poker with his three wives.

Laughter and joy filled the air, a picture of perfect harmony.

It was in this peaceful atmosphere that suddenly, a black shadow flashed past the window.

All four of them were startled.

To dare to brazenly trespass into Maple City at night, the intruder’s strength must not be low.

After comforting his three wives, Xiao Ze also chased after the figure.

”Your Excellency comes and goes as you please, seemingly not putting the rules of my Maple City in your eyes,” In mid-air, Xiao Ze executed the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, catching up to the opponent in just a moment.

The newcomer was an old man, dressed in a dark robe; though his attire wasn’t luxurious, it carried an inherent pressure.

His strength at the three-star Dou Zong level was unremarkable.

”My apologies, this old man was merely passing by, a pure coincidence. Please, Fellow Daoist, do not take it to heart,” Being caught, the old man had no choice but to start fabricating excuses.

”Old man, do you take me for a three-year-old child? Do you really think I’d believe that?” Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze coldly chuckled.

In this Black-Corner Region, who doesn’t know him? Passing by? Not even a dog would believe that.

Seeing that the other party was getting serious, the old man knew he was in the wrong and sighed helplessly, revealing, ”Fellow Daoist, do not be angry. In truth, this old man’s name is Su Qian, the Grand Elder of Jia Nan Academy. I did indeed come here to meet the Sect Leader of Xiao Gate.”

Su Qian? Jia Nan Academy?

Hearing this, Xiao Ze also breathed a sigh of relief; so, he wasn’t here to attack.

He had planned to go to Jia Nan Academy to find Xun’er after unifying the Black-Corner Region, but he hadn’t expected the Grand Elder to come first.

”So, it’s the Grand Elder of Jia Nan Academy. As your neighbor, we certainly need to have a good talk,” Xiao Ze said with a faint smile.

”Let me introduce myself, my name is Xiao Ze, from the Xiao Family of Wutan City. I believe Grand Elder, you should know me.”

Wutan City Xiao Family... Hearing this, Su Qian’s eyes momentarily showed surprise, but he quickly remembered.

Isn’t Xiao Xun’er from the Inner Academy also from the Xiao Family?

”So, you’re from the Xiao Family. No wonder the name sounds a bit familiar,” Su Qian also breathed a sigh of relief at this.

If it’s the Xiao Family, then things are much simpler.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have trespassed into Maple City at night to probe the situation. Imagine a Xiao Gate suddenly appearing next to your pillow and almost ruling half of the Black-Corner Region; with such a force, could he sleep soundly at night?

If they were allies, then there was no problem.

”Grand Elder, how is Xun’er doing at the Academy?” Xiao Ze suddenly asked.

”I knew you’d ask that,” Looking at Xiao Ze’s youthful face, Su Qian smiled faintly.

He then said, ”Xun’er has been performing very well at the Academy. In just one month, she swept through the Outer Academy, earning an early promotion to the Inner Academy, and has now reached the three-star Dou Huang level.”

At this point, a hint of pride appeared in Su Qian’s eyes. In just a few months, she had advanced from a Dou Zhe to a Dou Huang. Such terrifying speed, let alone his Jia Nan Academy, even in the vast lands of Central Plains, where geniuses abound, would be enough to secure her a place among her peers.

”Only Dou Huang?” Xiao Ze seemed unsatisfied with Su Qian’s praise.

It was simply because almost all the women around him were, without exception, at the Dou Huang or even Dou Zong level.

Xun’er, after all, possessed a Divine Grade Bloodline, yet her Cultivation speed was not as fast as theirs. It seemed this trip to Jia Nan Academy, he would have to take good care of Xun’er.

”What kind of expression is that?” Su Qian’s old face darkened.

A dignified Dou Huang expert, what does he mean by ’only Dou Huang’?

He remembered that at that age, he was merely a Great Dou Master, a world apart from Dou Huang.

Xiao Ze: ”...”

”Grand Elder, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, I won’t keep you overnight. I will visit you tomorrow.”

”Alright,” Hearing this, Su Qian nodded.

It was getting late, and he couldn’t let those old fellows wait too long.

Returning to Maple City, Xiao Yi Xian and the other two wives had been waiting for a long time. If he had been even a moment later, they might have chased after him.

”How was it? Are you alright?”

”It’s nothing, the person was the Grand Elder of Jia Nan Academy. Coincidentally, I plan to visit the rumored Jia Nan Academy tomorrow,” Xiao Ze replied.

”It’s getting late, let’s get some sleep.”

After a small interlude, the group resumed playing poker.

The next day, in the main hall of Maple City.

”Sect Leader Xiao, through continuous persuasion by your subordinates, most of the forces in the Black-Corner Region have expressed their willingness to submit. However... the old-established forces, led by the Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley, have ignored this, and even directly attacked and killed our Sect’s envoys.”

”They even threatened to annihilate our Xiao Gate.”

Yuan Yi, City Lord recounted the events of the past half-month.

Overall, it was acceptable. For some smaller forces, it didn’t matter who they followed. However, for established Sects like the Black Emperor Sect, they weren’t particularly keen.

Dou Zong? If you have one, do I not have one?

If you dare to come, they won’t mind striking you down.

”Killed our Sect’s envoys?” Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Ze’s eyes.

”This Sect didn’t go looking for trouble with them, yet they dared to kill our envoys. It seems they are all old fogeys who are tired of living.”

Xiao Ze was just looking for a reason to start a war, and now it had arrived, hadn’t it?

The envoy is dead. I have no interest in knowing right from wrong.

”Sect Leader Xiao, the Valley Master of Demon Flame Valley is a seven-star Dou Zong, and the Sect Master of the Black Emperor Sect is also a four-star Dou Zong. If we really go to war, it might be disadvantageous for us,” Hearing Xiao Ze’s words, Yuan Yi, City Lord immediately became anxious.

They were not like the Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley, whose leaders were all Dou Zong level experts. If you add their subordinates, it’s a force that is not at all weaker than theirs. A head-on clash would inevitably result in both sides suffering heavy losses.

At that time, the Xiao Gate, which they had painstakingly built, would fall without a fight.

”No matter, a mere seven-star Dou Zong is not something I put in my eyes.”

Although it was a bit tricky, it wasn’t impossible to fight.

Of course, it wasn’t time to start a war yet. He had to go to Jia Nan Academy first to retrieve the Fallen Heart Flame. At that time, he would definitely be able to enter the Dou Zun realm.

By then, a hundred Dou Zong would not be a match for him in a single encounter.

Seeing this, Yuan Yi, City Lord couldn’t say much more. He had said all he needed to say. As for what to do, it was up to their Sect Leader.

Since he could easily eliminate an expert like Han Feng, he also believed that the Sect Leader would not joke with all their lives.

After roughly arranging the upcoming affairs, Xiao Ze left Maple City and arrived at the territory where Jia Nan Academy was located.

With his three wives in Maple City, ordinary Dou Zong would not be able to overthrow the Xiao Gate’s rule, and he naturally had enough time to retrieve the Fallen Heart Flame.

The closest town to Jia Nan Academy was called Peace Town, which was the only entrance to Jia Nan Academy.

For ordinary people, entering the town gate required a series of inspections, but for Xiao Ze, this was too much of a time-waster.

He simply flew directly through the air, as he had already greeted the Grand Elder last night and wasn’t afraid of being intercepted.
