32: Departure to the Great Star ForestThe news of Li Dawei's murder could not be spread in a short period of time in the closed-off society of Douluo Continent, and no one even noticed that he had been killed.
The city guards arranged by Xiao Zhan only found the carriage that Li Dawei used when he came in Notting City.
According to the manager of the stable, the person who stored the carriage has not shown up for a day.
This one didn't show up, and there was a lot of reason behind it. It could be that Li Dawei was having so much fun that he forgot about the carriage. Or maybe Li Dawei was killed in the city.
With this in mind, Xiao Zhan immediately sent someone to take over the stables and arranged for all the original staff of the stables to go to other cities. If there was any news of Li Dawei's disappearance or death, he would immediately destroy the carriage, at least not to cause trouble.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Zhan waited for two days but still did not find any trace of Li Dawei and others. He only heard that they appeared in Fengyue Street and disappeared after a conflict with others.
"My Lord City Lord, our city guards found a big pit on the outskirts of the city with some blood stains in it. The coroner just confirmed that it was indeed human blood, but no other traces were found around." A soldier came hurriedly to report.
Xiao Zhan thought for a while.
He had questioned the owners of the brothels in the city one by one and confirmed that there was no such person in their shops. Combined with the previous situation, he had a hunch that Li Dawei was likely to have been killed.
At this point, he waved his hand and said, "Let Xiao Ding and Xiao Li (Xiao Zhan's eldest and second sons) deal with the carriage. Also, I'm going out for a while. If it's not urgent, don't come to me for the time being."
…
In Notting College, Qi Tian picked up his bag.
Early this morning, Su Changqing personally handed him the graduation certificate.
From that moment on, Qi Tian officially graduated.
As for the graduation test, as long as the soul power reaches level 10, you can pass the test and the academy will give you a graduation certificate. But with Qi Tian's strength, is this test still necessary?
It is worth mentioning that without a diploma from the Junior Soul Master Academy, one cannot enroll in the Intermediate Soul Master Academy. Therefore, those who are not talented enough can either continue to study in the Junior Soul Master Academy or choose to graduate and return home to inherit the family business.
However, these are not considered when enrolling in the Advanced Soul Master Academy. As long as one's soul power breaks through level 21 and one is under 25 years old, one can enroll.
Qi Tian didn't want to be watched by the crowd, so he and Su Changqing simply left the academy through the back door.
Along the way, Su Changqing explained many things about the soul master world to avoid any accidents to Qi Tian.
Unconsciously, the two had arrived at the city gate. Xiao Zhan was standing at the city gate, waiting for them.
"Haha, Brother Su, and Boy Qi."
"Uncle Xiao." Qi Tian greeted.
Xiao Zhan was the person who took the best care of him in Notting City during these years, except for Su Changqing. Qi Tian was a man who would repay a favor, and he silently remembered the kindness of Xiao Zhan, Su Changqing and others in his heart.
"Haha, Qi boy, Brother Su should have told you that I would recommend a college for you." Xiao Zhan said with a smile: "Later, I heard from Brother Su that you decided to go to the Advanced Soul Master College. Fortunately, the soul master college I recommended to you is the Advanced Soul Master College, otherwise I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
Qi Tian said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Xiao. Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Xiao Zhan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Brother Su told me that the higher the starting point of a soul master, the higher his future achievements will be. With such a starting point, you are naturally worthy of a higher institution. My useless sons are not qualified, and the quotas allocated to our Xiao family in recent years have never been used. It's vacant anyway, so why not give it to you."
Xiao Zhan was telling the truth. As for the academy he recommended, it must be Tiandou Royal Academy. For the nobles, there is no threshold there. But for Xiao Zhan's status, there is a threshold there. Moreover, if he does not send family disciples to study there for a long time, it will affect his career.
Overall, letting Qi Tian go is a mutually beneficial and win-win result.
"I almost forgot. Xiaoyu has now gone to a soul hunting forest in the north and joined a soul hunting team. This is also a good experience for him. Qi boy, you may meet him again in the future."
"Uncle Xiao, I will definitely go to see Chenyu if I have the chance." Qi Tian replied.
After entering society, the children of nobles mature very quickly. This sentence is also true for Xiao Chenyu. Since graduation, Xiao Chenyu has never contacted the gangsters he used to play with. However, Wang Sheng, who was often bullied by him, is very close to him.
Wang Sheng's hometown is a nearby village. After graduation, he had a level 10 soul power but no soul ring. He originally wanted to find a job in the city and go soul hunting when he had enough money. Qi Tian also wanted to raise some money to help him.
But later, Xiao Chenyu stepped forward and helped Wang Sheng get his first soul ring. Since then, the two of them have formed a deep friendship. It is estimated that Wang Sheng is now doing business with him as a soul hunting team.
"Okay, Lao Xiao, you should talk less. If we don't set out today, we probably won't be able to find a hotel before dark." Su Changqing interrupted.
Xiao Zhan slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot. Here, Qi boy, take this letter to Tiandou Royal Academy. When the time comes, you will go to school there."
As he spoke, he handed a letter with the seal of the City Lord's Mansion to Qi Tian.
Su Changqing had not expected that it would be this academy. He could not help but remind him, "Xiaotian, there are many playboys in Tiandou Royal Academy. Coupled with the bright lights and nightlife in Tiandou City, it is easy to corrupt people. I believe you can resist the temptation, but you must remember that there are many children of noble families in the academy. Remember not to offend them. It is best to find a backer with a strong background after admission."
His starting point was based on the idea that Qi Tian would not be bullied.
But Qi Tian estimated that once he broke through to the Soul Sect, with his physique and strength, ordinary Soul Sect members would be unable to do anything to him.
"One more thing, Tiandou Royal Academy is not in Tiandou City, but in the suburbs of Tiandou City. If you really can't find it, go to the city and ask around."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhan pointed at the road Qi Tian was about to take, "Qi boy, you can't take this road for the time being. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better to take a detour."
Qi Tian glanced at the direction of the road and immediately understood.
Going down this official road, you can reach Fasno City. Tang San was bullied by Li Dawei like that, Tang Hao definitely couldn't stand it. Li Dawei was very likely to die on this road, and Xiao Zhan probably found some clues while catching wind and shadows.
"Xiaotian, take this package. It contains some food I prepared for you. I hope it will be useful for your journey." Su Changqing took out a package from his soul guide and stuffed it into Qitian's hand without giving him a chance to refuse.
