While various departments in Anze College were busy sorting out freshmen materials, the outside world was not peaceful at the same time.
At this time, a place deep in the mountains looked almost deserted. The trees were lush and green, and from time to time, a few birds and the sounds of wild beasts were heard. No one would come to such a place except some people who make a living by hunting.
However, walking deeper, I saw a completely different scene from the forest. The tall and lush trees suddenly disappeared, and the vision suddenly opened up. What appeared in front of me was a very luxurious and majestic house. Anyone who saw this house would probably only have one thought in their mind. , that is, the people in this place must be very rich. If you look closely, you can see that there are some people who look like servants busy in the yard, watering the flowers or cleaning. They are methodical and orderly, and they look like everyone is doing it. The only sounds that seemed to be heard in the huge yard were the sound of water watering the flowers and the sound of sweeping the floor to sweep up fallen leaves. It was quiet.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the tranquility. The visitor ignored the greetings of others, just nodded to indicate that he understood, and then walked forward faster. Following the man's fast pace, he finally arrived outside a room. The man stopped and straightened his clothes before knocking solemnly on the door in front of him. After waiting for a while, a strong man's voice came from the room: "What's going on?"
"Master, the young master has successfully passed the entrance test, and the information for Anze's new students this year has been compiled. I came here specifically to ask you to take a look." The man replied.
"Okay, come in and talk." The person called the owner of the house said.
After hearing this, the man carefully opened the door. The moment he entered the house, the man closed the door. The whole movement was very smooth. It seemed that the man had done this frequently and had become very skilled. After finishing all this, the man stepped forward, then bowed to the person sitting on the chair in the room and said: "Master, here are the relevant information about Anze's new students this year. Please take a look."
Hearing this, the person on the chair took the information in his hand, waved his hand and said: "Get up, you and I have been together for such a long time. When have I ever cared about these etiquettes? I won't care about them anymore."
The man shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I can't promise you this. Although you don't care, I have to set an example, otherwise it would be bad if the servants at home also become rude. After all, you are the head of the family."
After hearing what he said, the man knew that nothing could make him change his mind, so he simply shook his head and said, "That's all, as long as you don't feel aggrieved."
"It's been so many years, how could this happen?" the man said with a smile.
When the man heard what he said, he stopped talking and picked up the information in his hand and started to look at it.
The man looked at it for a while and suddenly asked: "Shi Ming, did you just say that that boy Shen Han passed the test?"
"Yes." The man named Shi Ming replied.
"Then he should have sorted out his department by now. What department is it?" the man asked again.
"Young master entered the formation system." Shi Ming replied respectfully again.
"Array system? Not bad, not bad. This guy didn't embarrass our Shen family." The man said happily.
"The young master's talent has been excellent since he was a child. After arriving in Anze, I think he will be more at home. Moreover, the formation system is quite consistent with our Shen family's skills. I think it will not be difficult for the young master to succeed in cultivation." Shi Ming smiled. said.
When the man heard what Shi Ming said, his already good mood became even better. Looking at the information, he said: "But we can't take it lightly. As big as Anze, there are always a few unexpected geniuses. Tell Shen Han not to be arrogant."
"Don't worry, Master. With the young master's upbringing, this kind of thing will obviously not happen."
"Well, let him pay attention to the people around him. If he has good talents, after making friends with them, they can be used by our Shen family in the future. Even if they can't, they should be regarded as forming a good relationship. There will always be more friends on the path of cultivation. It’s not a bad thing,” the man ordered.
"Yes, I will tell the young master later, don't worry." Shi Ming responded.
The man looked at Shi Ming and said with emotion: "I have been very lucky to you these years."
Shi Ming shook his head and said without hesitation: "It's all what I should do. If it weren't for you back then, I would be..."
The man waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's over now, don't mention it anymore. And you've done enough over the years to make me feel that what I did back then was nothing more than a small thing."
"That's not the case. That matter is very important, so I feel that what I have done is not enough." Shi Ming said hurriedly.
"Okay, okay, I know everything." The man said gently, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest quickly."
"Yes." Shi Ming responded, then opened the door and left the room, thinking about his own residence.
...
Conversations like this one in the Shen family today happen in big families all over the country.
At this time, the joyful new students in Anze Academy who are immersed in the cultivation of energy do not know that they may have been noticed by many big families. If they have any special performance in the future, they will be scrambling to win over them. But people who don't know all this are still practicing hard and striving to be a dazzling existence in the eyes of people around them.
...
This is a dark space, as if there is no trace of light, as if darkness is the main color of this place. The people living here seem to be used to this kind of darkness.
And it was as if there had been no sound here for many years, not a single sound could be heard in the dark space. At this time, a sudden sound broke the silence like a pool of stagnant water.
"Chief, Anze has completed the entrance test."
"Oh? How about this year? Are there any potential threats?"
"There are more freshmen admitted this year than in previous years, and there seem to be some very talented people. Do you need to take action?"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, it's not a good thing for us to be exposed now."
"Okay, it all depends on the leader's orders."
"Well, there is news from the Territory Lord soon, so what we have to do now is to stay put and recharge our batteries."
"Really? Territory Lord, he's not..." The owner of the voice seemed to be surprised, and his tone was much higher than usual.
"It's true, but I won't tell you more about the reason. You keep this matter a secret." The person known as the leader ordered.
"yes."
"Okay, let's go down. Remember what I said."
After the visitor had gone away, the man called the leader seemed to be talking to himself: "Anze, right? Just wait, sooner or later we will take back everything we have."
