162 A little talk with Liu Erlong!
*swish* Xuan Yan entered the Vice Dean's room and was greeted with the sight of Liu Erlong diligently engrossed in her work, meticulously sifting through piles of papers. Meanwhile, Zi Ji, lounged comfortably on the nearby couch, observing her.
But sensing Xuan Yan's presence Zi Ji abruptly stood up from the couch and appeared in front of him. "Young Lord!" she exclaimed as she hugged him.
Xuan Yan let out a soft laugh and patted her back. Since he hugged Bi Ji in the forest, Zi Ji also began to hug him like a child.
Hearing her voice, Liu Erlong raised her head and looked at Xuan Yan. She smiled "You finally decided to step into the Academy affairs?"
Xuan Yan smiled back "Well, I am the Dean of the Academy and I would feel bad if I dumped all the work on you and Sister Tao!"
Liu Erlong sighed deeply, At least he got his sense of responsibility now.
"And I am bored, so I came!"
Huh? Liu Erlong's eyebrow twitched hearing this. This brat! I took back what I just said.
As Zi Ji retracted the hug, Xuan Yan walked and sat on the work table in front of Liu Erlong. Liu Erlong became furious and hit his shoulder "You Brat! Get down!"
"Why are you yelling, Erlong? Cool down.." he said as he took the papers Liu Erlong was working on.
Liu Erlong shook her head helplessly seeing his behavior "Yan. Earlier, Tang Yueha of the Moon Pavillion came here and asked to meet you saying that she is your friend..." she asked remembering that.
Zi Ji also came beside him "Yes, Young Lord. She was on the verge of crying as she begged to let her meet you." she also sat beside him and leaned on his left shoulder.
Xuan Yan nodded "Yeah, she is my friend and she had important things to talk about with me."
Liu Erlong frowned her brows "Hm? How come you became friends with Tang Yueha? She herself even came and begged to meet you. That's not how I heard about her."
"Oh? What did you hear about her?" Xuan Yan asked looking at the papers.
"Although she possesses elegance and beauty, she also has the influential Clear Sky Sect behind her. Furthermore, she has the audacity to decline personal invitations extended by the royal family."
"So I wonder how you became good friends with her."
Xuan Yan chuckled "Remember the royal party? I met her at the party and because of a weird coincidence... I broke her lifelong level 9 restriction making her level 10 and we became good friends."
"What?!" Liu Erlong's eyes widened as she stood up in abrupt shock. "Y-You broke her l-level restriction?"
Xuan Yan shifted his gaze to her and said "Yeah!"
She hurriedly grabbed his shoulder "Y-Yan, can you really do that? Breaking someone's level restriction."
Xuan Yan looked into her disbelieving eyes and asked "Why are you so shocked? Do you know 'someone' who has restrictions like that? Erlong?."
Her eyes trembled and she averted her gaze as various emotions turmoil her heart "I...that is...*sigh* Leave that, Yan, can you really cure that?"
Xuan Yan smiled and casually replied. "Well, if the defect is in the body I can cure that but if the defect is in the martial spirit I can't do anything."
Liu Erlong's eyes narrowed upon hearing this "Defect in martial spirit?" Xuan Yan chuckled "Why are getting tense? Just sit!" he said as he grabbed her arm and made her sit on her chair.
Xuan Yan saw Liu Erlong's face as she fell into a deep thought and said "Oh, yeah. now that I remember it, there is a way."
She immediately turned her eyes to him "Yan? What Yan? What is that way?"
Xuan Yan smiled playfully "That is...a secret!" ZI Ji giggled upon hearing this.
Liu Erlong's lips twitched "It's not a joking matter. Yan. Tell me the way."
Xuan Yan kept his playful smile "Hm? What should I do? Should I tell you?"
"Yeah, Yan please tell me..."
Seeing her pleading eyes, Xuan Yan couldn't help but pinch her cheek "Erlong, not only your angry face, this is also cute!"
But she brushed his hand and asked seriously "Enough with the teasings Yan, tell me.."
Xuan Yan nodded "Yes, Yes, I am telling..." he said looking at her enthusiastic black eyes.
"The only way to cure the martial spirit defect is using the...Immortal herbs." Xuan Yan uttered with a smile.
Liu Erlong's frown deepened. Immortal herbs?
"Young Lord, Immortal herbs?" Zi Ji asked and Xuan Yan nodded "Yeah, Immortal herbs!"
"The herbs which grow in a special place where heaven and earth's essence condenses are called immortal herbs. These Plant Spirit Beasts possess wisdom at the cultivation of 10,000 years and they are extremely rare."
After a deep silence, Liu Erlong spoke "Yan, are you sure the martial spirit defect will be cured if we use Immortal Herb?"
Xuan Yan nodded his head "Yeah. It will not only cure, but it will also evolve your martial spirit."
Liu Erlong was startled hearing this "Evolve your martial spirit? Such things can happen?"
"Yeah. Well, you know the condition about the Ning family's martial spirit defect right?" Xuan Yan asked and Liu Erlong nodded "En. I know they can't cultivate beyond level 79."
"Hm. If they used the proper Immortal Herb their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will evolve to Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and they can reach Titled Douluo." Xuan Yan said with a smile.
This greatly surprised Liu Erlong. If I used the proper Immortal Herb for 'him' then he can also..?
She gently grabbed his hand and asked "Yan..um...do you know where these Immortal herbs are?" If he know so much about them, then he should also know the location.
Xuan Yan glimpsed at her hand and nodded "Yeah, I know!"
Excitement and joy filled Liu Erlong's heart and she tightened her grip on his hand "Yan. Where? Where can I find this?"
A mischievous smile graced his lips "Hm...In the Heaven Dou Street Market!"
Liu Erlong: -_-
"pfft..Haha!!" Xuan Yan and Zi Ji laughed seeing Liu Erlong's dumbfounded face. "Oh! your face...Haha I can't haha..."
Liu Erlong's lips twitched in annoyance and hit his shoulder "Why are you taunting me, Brat?"
"Like I already said, your face is just cute..Haha...Oh! Erlong stop hitting me!"
"Then tell me brat, where really I can find that Immortal herb?" Liu Erlong stopped hitting him and asked seriously.
Xuan Yan sighed and replied "I told you, they are extremely rare. If only I had found something like that, I would have already given them to my women and one to you."
"For me? Why should I need that?" she knitted her eyebrows.
"Hm? Because you also have dragon bloodline which is in a dormant state in your body." Xuan Yan said and Zi Ji nodded "Yes Erlong you also have a dragon bloodline which is suppressed. But it's still weaker than mine and Young Lord's."
This left Liu Erlong utterly surprised "I also have a dragon bloodline?"
She contemplated her thoughts, so if I can get a suitable Immortal Herb I can release my dragon bloodline and also evolve my martial spirit?
But then a thought raised in her mind and looked at Xuan Yan "If you haven't seen the Immortal herbs. How come you know about them and their effects."
Xuan Yan smirked "It's because I am Dio Brando. I am the 'Grand Master of knowledge' and I know everything."
Liu Erlong sighed hearing his vague and dramatic reply. If only I can somehow find the perfect Immortal herb for him...
"Don't worry Erlong. Currently, I am searching for these Immortal Herbs. If I found something suitable for you, I will bring it you..."
A smile appeared on Liu Erlong's lips "Thank you, Yan!"
"Why are you saying Thankyou, we are Close friends, right?"
"Yeah, we are!"
...
"Expanding the area of the Academy?" Xuan Yan asked skimming through the papers. There are some documents to buy the land near the Academy!
"En." Liu Erlong nodded. "Our admissions have increased and now there are also many teachers. So we need to build more classrooms and we also need to construct more dormitories for Teachers and students."
"These are the papers to buy the land and the amount to buy it. I also made a rough estimation of the cost of building the dormitories and classrooms."
Xuan Yan nodded his head "Well, money is not a problem."
Liu Erlong looked at him "I made this decision without asking you, so..."
Xuan Yan shook his head "No, No Erlong. I should be thankful to you. Even though I am the Dean, you and Sister Tao are always doing things instead of me."
Liu Erlong chuckled "What can we do? Dio Brando is really busy after all..."
Xuan Yan let out a mild laugh upon hearing this.
...
*gasp* Everyone in the Academy looked at Xuan Yan, Zi Ji and Liu Erlong in awe and astonishment. As Xuan Yan is a famous person and they rarely see him, so for them it is a sight to behold.
Liu Erlong smiled wryly "They are all looking at you, Yan!"
"It's natural after all. My Young Lord looks so stunning and powerful." Zi Ji said with an understanding nod.
*tap* *tap* "Mr.Yan!"
They turned to see the brown-haired blue-eyed petite girl "Ning Rongrong?" Xuan Yan called. Liu Erlong frowned seeing her.
Ning Rongrong giggled "Mr. Yan, you can just call me by my name."
Xuan Yan stated "That's what I just did. Your name is Ning Rongrong, right? Sect Master Ning's daughter."
"No, Mr.Yan you can just call me Rongrong or Rong'er..." Ning Rong lightly blushed reaching her last words.
"Well, Rongrong why did you suddenly call me?" Xuan Yan asked and Ning Rongrong was a little disappointed hearing her full name from his mouth.
"That's Mr.Yan...My Father invited you to our Sect at the party months ago. But you still haven't visited us. So my father asked me to remind you."
"Oh? Yeah. He even reminded me, when he came to meet us because you falsely accused Erlong of belittling you. I totally forget about his invitation."
Hearing his mocking, anger raised in her heart but she kept it cool and smiled "Well, Mr.Yan when are you coming?"
"I am quite busy right now with Academic activities, so I will visit later." Xuan Yan said and Liu Erlong smiled dryly, Busy with Academic activities?
Nodding her head Ning Rongrong glanced at the purple-haired beautiful woman beside Xuan Yan "Mr.Yan she is..."
Xuan Yan smiled "She is Zi Ji!"
Ning Rongrong was amused seeing his sudden smile. She has never seen his smile like this. What is her relationship with him "Is she your lover? Mr.Yan?"
"Sorry, Rongrong I don't think we are that close to revealing my personal matters with you!"
Ning Rongrong was stunned "Y-Yes, Mr.Yan. Then I'll take my leave!"
