The King of Flags at Hogwarts

The gates of Kunlun Academy were wide open. It was then that Bobby learned that there were teleportation portals all over the country that led directly to Kunlun Academy. Due to the huge amount of resources required, they were only open for one day each semester, at the beginning and end of the semester.

The entrance she and Luo Xiya entered through at Kunlun Spring was actually a secret entrance, known only to a few students besides the professor.

Hong Lingfei happened to be one of the students who knew about this entrance. And the "Freedom Alliance" just happened to target him... Hehe, what a coincidence.

Bobby stood in front of the library, the highest point of Kunlun Mountain. Looking down, she saw a dense crowd of students riding flying swords towards the mountainside.

Xiao Qiandai stood beside her and explained, "Those who flew up are at least third-year students. First and second-year students don't know how to fly on swords very well, so they can only use the 'flying ladder'."

Bobby had experienced the so-called "flying ladder." The platform wasn't very large, and it couldn't carry many people at once. For efficiency, upperclassmen really had to fly up themselves.

Aren't you going to the opening ceremony?

Xiao Qiandai replied with a smile, "It'll be there soon, won't you come and take a look?"

Bobby shook his head. What was so interesting about the opening ceremony? It was only one o'clock in the afternoon; the opening banquet was still a long way off!

Kunlun Academy is different from Hogwarts; there is no Sorting Hat. Each student can choose any course that interests them. Only Flying Sword is a compulsory course in the first and second years; the others are optional.

Indeed, sword control is effective in combat, allows for escape, and most importantly, looks cool, making it a must-learn skill.

Bobby could ask about these things with just a few words, so why would he need to go out of his way to observe them?

Wouldn't it be better to use that time to read a couple more books?

As for who told Bobby these things—an unnamed but terminally ill older student said: Ant Merchant Guild's prank products are really useful!

Watching Xiao Qiandai fly down to the auditorium below—this auditorium is really big, how could an auditorium that can hold 20,000 to 30,000 students not be big?

The tallest and most magnificent building in the entire teaching area is this auditorium. However, it is drafty on all sides and covered with white gauze. It has an ancient charm, but the price is that lower-grade students who are not strong enough have to endure the biting cold wind from the mountainside of Kunlun Mountain.

Bobby walked back to the library and saw Mo Han coming down from upstairs in a sky-blue suit. Bobby thought to himself, why does this person like to wear a suit in front of others so much?

After greeting him, Bobby asked, "Is Dean Mo going to the opening ceremony?"

"good."

He simply nodded slightly to Bobby and walked out: "I've set up an array on the stairs between the fourth and fifth floors. Don't wander around if you don't have anything to do, or you might get accidentally injured."

Bobby felt a surge of annoyance. This guy!

It's clear that someone else is coveting Laozi's legacy, but Mo Han seems convinced that it's related to me, and is wary of me in everything she does.

Bobby left the library in a huff, stomping his foot angrily, which resulted in a hole being punched in the wooden floor of the first floor.

She quickly repaired the floor with the "Restore to Original" function, stuck out her tongue, and ran to the third floor to read—she had basically read through all the books on the first and second floors during most of the summer vacation.

Secrets of Ancient Cultivators.

Bobby was very curious. The third-floor bookshelves usually housed high-level spells and the insights and notes of predecessors. How could this book, which resembled a biographical novel, appear here?

The first chapter is titled "Laozi leaves Hangu Pass to the west, and the struggle over the orthodox lineage destroys the foundation."

Bobby sighed. No matter what, internal strife is always more damaging than external enemies.

She sighed deeply again, thinking of how Mo Han regarded her as an enemy.

However, her attention was quickly drawn to the article. Although the book looked like a collection of miscellaneous notes, it described various battle scenes in great detail, which broadened Bobby's horizons.

No wonder this book is on the third floor! Putting aside whether the students can understand these advanced fighting techniques, the truth about the internal strife recorded in the book could easily trigger internal conflicts within the academy.

"Our talismanic arts are the best in the world!"

"P-class! During the pre-Qin period, when we were fighting for the orthodox lineage, your talisman school was crushed by our formation school! We are the number one!"

"Hmph! You trash who only know how to lay traps! Before the formation is set up, you are trash! After the formation is set up, we will make a strategic retreat, and you will still be trash! That's why our Taoist magic style is the strongest!"

…………

Bobby laughed as he thought about it. Wherever there are people, there are conflicts. When Hogwarts had hundreds of students, there were all sorts of disputes because of the different houses.

Suddenly, a loud boom came from the top of the tower, interrupting Bobby's reverie. Then, another boom came, the tower shook, and Bobby stood up.

Bobby didn't look at the top of the tower, but looked down, because the people who bombed the library were down there.

In her eyes, a bolt of lightning shot down from above, striking a person whose magic was unlike anything Bobby had ever seen before.

Next to the unlucky guy who was struck by lightning was another person. I recognized this person from Magic Poppy—Hong Lingfei. That extremely unfortunate student who had been held hostage by the "Freedom Alliance."

Bobby saw Hong Lingfei ride his flying sword, skimming along the left side of the mountain, making a large circle, and then flying down.

Bobby frowned. Why didn't the restrictions on the library break Hong Lingfei?

What happened today doesn't feel like a conspiracy; it seems more like a test.

Even without her making any predictions, she sensed that something big was about to happen.

Chapter 134 Undercurrents

Bobby came down from the third floor and pushed open the door to the library.

Professors Mo Han and others had already flown over on their swords.

"Bobby, what's going on?"

Faced with Mo Han's questioning, Bobby shook his head and said, "I was reading on the third floor when I heard two explosions. When I came out, this was the scene."

A person lay on the ground, charred black, beyond dead. Only a few strands of golden hair amidst the charcoal-black hair allowed one to identify his race.

Luo Xiya said, "This is a Westerner. It must have triggered the defensive magic set up by the old dean."

Mo Han snorted coldly, "The autonomous region is getting more and more backward, bringing all sorts of nobodies into the country."

Bobby rolled her eyes. "You're dressed in a suit; you don't look like someone who adheres to tradition at all..."

Everyone could see that this was a test, a test that involved human lives.

Huang Jianping said, "Based on what you said before, I think that group of people are eyeing Laozi's relics."

Luo Xiya added, "They failed last time, and they've tried this again today. They won't give up until they get Laozi's relics."

Huang Jianping looked at the charred human-shaped object on the ground and shook his head: "No one has been able to open that thing for thousands of years... Is it worth it for something like that?"

Luo Xiya said, "After all, it is something left behind by Lao Tzu. Although we can't open it, what if those people do? Even if we can't open it, it is still a relic of the sages and cannot be lost."

Mo Han said to Huang Luo and the other person with a cold face, "Gentlemen, don't go back to the Autonomous Region Government for the time being. The academy must strengthen its defenses. I don't think they will just make a small fuss like this."

The fact that they were able to infiltrate the country without a sound and even get into our Kunlun Academy shows that they must have inside agents within our organization, whether it's the regional government or the academy.

Later, I will invite the other visiting professors back to the university. Also, we need to find the traitors hiding among us as soon as possible; this cannot be delayed.

He glanced at Bobby again and then said, "I will request the autonomous region government to deploy the Divine Beast of Listening to investigate the spies hidden in our academy."

In mythology, Di Ting is a divine beast under the seat of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It can distinguish all things in the world and hear people's hearts. It is said that even masters of brain-blocking techniques cannot escape Di Ting's ability to "hear the heart".

I've heard of Di Ting Bobbi; he's said to be incredibly powerful. If this incident ends because of this, that would be a good thing.

Although Bobby and Mo Han don't get along, and even though Mo Han still suspects her, Mo Han's decision is clearly correct.

Bobby, unafraid of being judged by appearances, stared directly into Mo Han's eyes, leaving Mo Han somewhat uncertain.

Wen Mingxin then said, "Alright, now that Dean Mo has made a decision, I believe the matter will be resolved soon."

It's rare for Xiao Luo and Xiao Huang to come back today, so how about we get together again after the academy's opening banquet tonight? Bobby made a dragon meat barbecue at the Spirit Beast Garden, you two haven't tried it yet, have you?

"You'd better eat less at dinner tonight, save some room!"

Mo Han frowned: "Dean Wen, the enemy and friend are not clear right now. Isn't what you're doing inappropriate?"

Dean Wen shook his head and smiled, "Mo Han, you're overthinking it." He turned to Fan Huanglian, "Huanglian, I'll have to trouble your 'Progress Association' these days. Have the children be more vigilant at the entrance to the mountain gate, and also intensify the daily patrols."

Seeing that Wen Mingxin had made up his mind, Mo Han said nothing more, since he was the one temporarily taking over the dean's duties, not herself.

It was lunchtime.

Bobby attended the opening banquet.

She had never seen a banquet with more than 20,000 people before; this was truly an eye-opener for her.

The vast cafeteria was packed to capacity.

Bobby immediately recognized the dishes on the table; they were exactly the same as the banquet she had attended when she first arrived, all dishes from various restaurants.

Despite her excellent cooking skills, Bobby misses the house-elves at Hogwarts even more—those were high-end, custom-made!

"There's a red-haired girl over there!"

"Foreigner? Mixed race?"

"Doesn't seem like it; I think it's purebred."

How do foreigners get into our college?

"Hehe, I know that guy. His name is Bobby Evans. He's a very wealthy British businessman who has business dealings with the autonomous region. He's studying at our college now."

"Trade transactions? What kind of trade transactions can break the rules?"

"With astronomical trade transactions, without that girl, where would your family have gotten the extra money to buy you a new flying sword?"

Bobby walked through the lobby and went straight to the second floor. All she could hear were people talking about her.

"You know what, this girl is really good-looking. If I married her, wouldn't I be able to skip twenty years of hard work?"

"Keep it down! It would be so rude if someone heard you."

"Don't worry, he's a foreigner, how could he understand us?"

It's true what they say: in a big forest, you'll find all kinds of birds.

Shen Muli happened to come in from the other entrance, and Bobby, with her sharp eyes, spotted her immediately.

"Sister Shen!" She rushed forward and gave Shen Muli a big hug. "Why are you here?"

When Bobby spoke fluent Mandarin, the young man who had loudly declared he wanted to marry her immediately lowered his head, prompting a round of teasing from his friends.

Shen Muli hugged Bobby back. She hadn't seen the girl for two months, and she seemed to have grown taller and looked like she was eating well, having gained a lot of weight.

"Kunlun Academy has been involved in frequent incidents. The autonomous region government is worried that you may be in danger, so they sent me to accompany you. This will also save you a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Shen Muli is the Vice Minister of International Affairs, and foreign guests like Bobby are indeed within her jurisdiction.

"That's great!" Bobby laughed. "You don't know that Mo Han. He always looks at me like I'm a thief. It's so annoying."

Shen Muli shook her head. "Don't blame him. He is my great-grandfather's disciple, and Kunlun Academy is his home. It's normal for him to be nervous now that these things have happened."
