Chapter 544: Return to the Outer Academy
A few human figures flashed out from the illusory exit of the Inner Academy. From the looks of their appearances they were actually Xiao Yan, Xun Er and the rest. Behind them was Lin Yan who had followed out of curiosity.
The moment when Xiao Yan and the others had rushed out from the forest, a faint old voice sounded above the heads of everyone, “You must obtain a letter from an elder if you want to leave the Inner Academy. What does the large group of you plan to do by leaving?”
Xiao Yan and the others hurriedly raised their heads when they heard this voice, only to see an old man standing on the top of a tree branch. Looking carefully, he was that Elder Su whom they had seen when they had first entered the Inner Academy.
“Elder Su, I am Xiao Yan and I have an urgent matter that requires me to make a trip to the Outer Academy. Please accomodate me!” Xiao Yan took a step forward, suppressing the anxiety in his heart. He respectfully spoke to the Elder on the tree branch.
“Oh? Xiao Yan?” Elder Su was startled when he heard this. His gaze was hurriedly thrown to Xiao Yan’s body. When he saw that somewhat familiar face, there was immediately an additional smile on his originally indifferent face. “Ke ke, it is actually student Xiao Yan. Why? Have you become bored after staying in the Inner Academy and want to take a walk outside?”
“Where would I have such leisure? It is just that there is an urgent matter that requires me to go and take a look.” Xiao Yan laughed bitterly. He cupped his hands toward Elder Su and said, “Elder, please.”
Elder Su paused for a second since according to the Inner Academy rules, without a letter, they couldn’t randomly let people leave. However, Xiao Yan was different. He was someone that the First Elder personally said to give extra attention. In addition, although he had been stationed here, he had also heard about Xiao Yan being able to refine a tier five pill. Thus, he was quite happy to help Xiao Yan.
“According to the rules, I cannot let you pass since you have no letter in your hands. However, on the account of student Xiao Yan, I will bend the rules once today.” Elder Su mused for a moment before finally waving his hand and speaking with a smile.
“Thank you very much, Elder!” Xiao Yan immediately rejoiced when he saw Elder Su nodding his head.
“Hei, your face is quite big. I have come to find this Elder a couple of times and he always showed me the face of a dead person. If you do not hand over a letter, you are not allowed to pass. It is really unexpected that he would be lenient to you.” Behind Xiao Yan, Lin Yan was a little surprised as he spoke.
Xiao Yan smiled. He was also clearly aware that the reason for these Elders being so courteous was most likely because he could refine a tier 5 medicinal pill. After all, as an alchemist, he clearly understood just what kind of an attraction a tier 5 alchemist had toward these Elders whose strength were at the Dou Wang class.
