Chapter 6 I’m Willing to Call You My Closest Friend!_1

"Xiao Wang, I have another task for you to take care of,"

"Teacher, what is it?"

Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice, "You are to take Qin Xiao to Xuan Ziwen. From now on, Qin Xiao will study alongside Xuan Ziwen."

"Teacher, isn't this somewhat inappropriate?"

The elder surnamed Wang furrowed his brow, "Xuan Ziwen is a researcher at Mingde Hall and also teaches at the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy. Qin Xiao hasn't even enrolled yet, strictly speaking, he can't be considered a student of our Academy..."

"What's inappropriate about it?"

Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice, "It is precisely because of Qin Xiao's uniqueness that we must avoid those tedious matters. Such a talent must not be buried; having him study with Xuan Ziwen is the best choice.

Besides, Qin Xiao is someone I plan to cultivate carefully, keeping him hidden for now and waiting until the Soul Master Competition to reveal him will definitely have an unexpected effect."

Jing Hongchen also had his own considerations.

After all, within the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, the relationships were also complex and intricate.

If Qin Xiao showed himself too early, it was inevitable that some unnecessary trouble and complications would arise.

"I understand."

The elder surnamed Wang nodded, looking deeply at Qin Xiao, "You little rascal are quite fortunate; the Dean has arranged for you the best teacher in our Academy."

Xuan Ziwen...

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao, too, was stirred.

He recalled that Xuan Ziwen should currently be an Eighth-level Soul Master, and he creatively invented the All-Terrain Soul Guided Artillery Platform, Soul Ring Storage Device, Sealed Milk Bottle, Jammer, and other soul tools.

He could be said to be a genius in the Soul Master community, with a passion for soul tools that borders on obsession.

Even, for the sake of soul tools, he would give up everything.

Even betraying his own Empire and his mentor was a price he was willing to pay.

Qin Xiao remembered that in the Unparalleled Tang Sect, to obtain the core secrets of the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect, Xuan Ziwen betrayed the Sun-Moon Empire and joined Shrek Academy.

Later, he successfully became the first Ninth-Level Soul Master from the original Soul Land...

Although Xuan Ziwen was not from the Sun-Moon Empire, but rather from Sky Soul, once he had betrayed, it was a betrayal, and there was no more to be said.

But this also perfectly illustrated what it means to have madmen on the left, geniuses on the right.

However...

In Qin Xiao's view, this was both a madman and a fool.

For the sake of Tang Sect's hidden weapons, to make such a decision, wasn't it to denigrate himself?

Was it worth it?

However, speaking of which, he had thought about Jing Hongchen providing him with some special privileges.

For instance: giving him medicinal pills as if they cost nothing.

But he did not anticipate studying directly with Xuan Ziwen.

"Thank you, Dean."

"Haha, study hard and strive to become a Ninth-Level Soul Master as soon as possible, that would be the best reward for me," Jing Hongchen laughed heartily.

However, he soon seemed to remember something and said, "Wait here for a moment, I will write a letter to give to Xuan Ziwen."

With that, he went to his desk, full of blueprints, and found a blank sheet of paper, writing rapidly.

This scene left the elder surnamed Wang perplexed; it would have been simple to summon Xuan Ziwen.

Was there a need for writing letters, this ancient method of communication?

However, this thought was just that, something he contemplated in his mind and never dared to express.

It was not long before Qin Xiao saw Jing Hongchen put away his pen and carefully folded the letter, handing it to the elder surnamed Wang.

"Go, and remember, you must deliver this letter to Xuan Ziwen," Jing Hongchen repeatedly instructed.

"Okay!"

The elder surnamed Wang nodded emphatically, carefully placing the letter in his chest.

"Off you go..." Jing Hongchen waved his hand indifferently.

The elder surnamed Wang led the way, with Qin Xiao following as they left the room in succession.

However.

The next moment, the Dean's authority that adorned Jing Hongchen's face dissipated, "Hehehe, how nice, our Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy really hit the jackpot, obtaining such a genius.

If it weren't for some external factors, I would love to take Qin Xiao as my disciple now, as my successor."

After all.

He was no ordinary person, being the Dean of the Sun-Moon Royal Academy, a Ninety-Fourth Level Titled Douluo, a Ninth-Level Soul Master, and more...

Any one of these achievements is something ordinary people couldn't aspire to in a lifetime.

But it was also because of these halos that he was too conspicuous. So, if Qin Xiao became his disciple, it would still be hard to escape the notice of those with ulterior motives, which could turn out to be detrimental to Qin Xiao.

After all, he intended to protect Qin Xiao; taking him as a disciple would be counterproductive, wouldn't it?

To be the final disciple of the dignified Sun-Moon Royal Academy's Dean, anyone could guess that this person couldn't be ordinary.

Let's not forget that not everyone within the Sun-Moon Empire was his friend; he had enemies as well.

Once targeted by enemies, the danger would be enormous.

"Just endure a bit longer, when he becomes a Fifth Grade Soul Master and joins Mingde Hall, then he will have certain ability to protect himself. At that time, taking him as my disciple will not be late," Jing Hongchen thought to himself. At the same time, he was extremely eager for the day Qin Xiao became a Fifth Grade Soul Master.

As for the possibility of Qin Xiao refusing him... he hadn't even considered it.

Don't even ask.

Ask and the answer is impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

...

On the other side.

Under the guidance of an elder surnamed Wang, Qin Xiao arrived in front of a six-story teaching building.

They went straight to the fifth floor, and along the corridor, they walked some tens of meters before stopping in front of a door.
