Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 66 Outer Courtyard

"Is this the 'Dead Tree'?"

Hun Qinghao tilted her head slightly, gazing at the eerie black giant tree that exuded a sinister aura. There was no fear in her eyes, only a calm one.

People of all kinds came and went from Peace Town, but because of the aura released by Cai Lin and Da Zi, no one dared to linger their gaze on the three of them.

Not long after they arrived in Peace Town, a kind-looking old man wearing the robes of an elder of Canaan Academy and a strange, large hat came out.

With a clear objective, he immediately spotted Hun Qinghao and his two companions standing under the Death Tree and walked towards them.

The old man's gaze swept over Cai Lin and Da Zi, finally landing on Hun Qinghao. He revealed a kind and gentle smile, "This must be the young master that Senior Dou Zun mentioned. I am Hu Qian, the dean of the outer court of Canaan Academy. I have come to greet him on the orders of the Grand Elder."

Hun Qinghao gave a slight smile. "Dean, you can just call me Qinghao. Thank you for coming to pick us up!"

"That's only right, Your Highness. And who are these two beside you?" Hu Qian smiled, but did not change his form of address, asking about the identities of Cai Lin and Da Zi.

When the Grand Elder sent him to pick up the people, he didn't mention that besides the young master of the Soul Clan, there was also a Dou Zong and a Dou Huang. Moreover, this Dou Huang was a magical beast in human form. It was already an exception for them to let the young master of the Soul Clan enter Canaan Academy through the back door. Did they have to accept the people she brought with her as well?

Hu Qian couldn't make a decision right away and planned to consult the Grand Elder when he got back.

Seeing that Hu Qian's way of addressing her remained unchanged, Hun Qinghao didn't mind, since she was just being polite anyway.

"This is my sister, Soul Scale, and my magical beast mount, Great Purple. They are both going to enter Canaan Academy with me. But don't worry, Dean, my sister and Great Purple are just here to accompany me. They won't disregard the rules of Canaan Academy and make a move."

Cai Lin flipped her jade-like hand, which was covered in sharp finger cots, and said coldly, "As long as Qing'er is safe, I will naturally abide by the rules of Canaan Academy."

Da Zi nodded in agreement: "Me too."

"Alright, all of you come with me." Hu Qian smiled bitterly to himself and led the three into Peace Town.

In this situation, he seemed to have no choice but to accept it, because just as he hesitated, two terrifying auras from the shadows locked onto him.

He knew that it was a Dou Zun powerhouse sent by the Soul Clan to protect their young master.

After Hu Qian led Hun Qinghao and the other two away, the crowd at the entrance of Heping Town finally dared to move their bodies. They had just recovered from the conversation they had overheard, and the shock on their faces was undisguised.

Which faction's young master could possibly have the outer dean of Canaan Academy personally come out to greet him?

It couldn't possibly be from the Black Corner Region, since the various forces in the Black Corner Region have conflicts with Canaan Academy, and the undead tree at the entrance is the best proof of that.

Upon entering the outer courtyard of Canaan Academy, Hu Qian led the three people behind him to a quiet and elegant courtyard.

"This courtyard was specially prepared for Your Highness in our outer courtyard. Are you satisfied, Your Highness?"

"Outer Courtyard?" Cai Lin frowned first, then asked, "So there's also an Inner Courtyard? Why aren't you taking us there?"

With Qing'er's talent and cultivation level, surely she can enter the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy?

"Uh..." Hu Qian smiled and explained, "Miss Cai Lin, it's like this, entering the inner academy requires an examination. His Highness the Young Master entered Canaan Academy without going through the admission examination, which is already an exception, and we can't make an exception again."

Hun Qing waved her hand dismissively: "Sister, there's nothing wrong with the outer courtyard."

Anyway, as long as it's Canaan Academy, it's fine. After all, she's not here to study, so there's no difference between the outer and inner academies.

She picked a large red flower and put it in her hair, then strolled around among the colorful flowers, happily saying, "This courtyard is beautiful, I like it very much."

Hu Qian was relieved and nodded with a smile, "I'm glad Your Highness likes it."

There was a two-story elegant pavilion in the courtyard. Hun Qinghao chose the largest room on the second floor, which had a great view.

There's another room on the second floor, which Cai Lin has moved into, leaving only Da Zi living on the first floor.

In a quiet room filled with bookshelves, seven or eight elderly men sat in chairs around a round table. Hu Qian sat in the main seat, and to his left was the vice dean of the outer courtyard.

"Young Master, is it really alright for us to let her stay in the outer courtyard?" The vice dean hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

Dean Hu Qian smiled faintly, "This is Elder Su Qian's intention, and with her strength, she won't stay in the outer courtyard for long. It all depends on her own wishes."

"Oh? What level has she reached now?"

Upon hearing Hu Qian's words, the surrounding elders immediately became interested in Hun Qinghao's cultivation level.

"I heard she comes from the Soul Clan, which is above the Soul Palace. With the foundation of such an ancient family, the young master they raise should have a high cultivation level."

"Is it a Battle Spirit? Or a Battle King?"

Hu Qian smiled and shook his head. "You're all being too conservative with your guesses. When I went to greet her, I sensed the aura within her. It was the aura of a nine-star Dou Wang, and she's only fourteen years old."

"A fourteen-year-old nine-star Dou Wang!"

hiss!

The vice-dean and several elders gasped in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief as they leaned over the round table.

After a long silence, the vice-dean exclaimed, "The ancient races are truly terrifying!"

"To be a peak Dou Wang at such a young age—such terrifying talent! Barring any unforeseen circumstances, her future achievements are probably unimaginable!"

"But given her background, who could possibly pose a threat to her as she grows up?"

Hu Qian and the elders agreed with the vice dean's words. After that, the room fell silent. The figures of the group swayed slightly and disappeared from their chairs at the same time.

…………

"Hey, have you heard? A transfer student has joined our class."

"I know that. I heard that this transfer student didn't take the entrance exam and got in through connections."

"So she's got connections. Canaan Academy actually agreed to let her in; just how powerful must her connections be?"

"They're so arrogant. It's been several days, and they haven't shown up in class at all."

"..."

In Class 2 of this year's freshmen, those who had passed numerous tests to enter Canaan Academy harbored deep resentment towards Hun Qinghao, who had been parachuted in, and they discussed her in sarcastic and mocking ways.

However, there was one person, a beautiful young girl dressed in a pink dress with a cool and indifferent temperament. She sat quietly in her seat, holding a book in her hands, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding disturbances.

"Xun'er, what do you think of this transfer student who got in through connections?" Xiao Mei also disliked people who got in through connections. Seeing that Xiao Xun'er was reading a book, she came to her side and asked.

Xiao Mei and Xiao Yan didn't get along well in the Xiao family, and Xiao Xun'er originally didn't want to talk to her. But thinking that she was also a member of the Xiao family, Xiao Xun'er put down her book and said indifferently, "Don't worry about how she got into Canaan Academy. Being able to get in is her own ability."
