"We will meet again if fate allows!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "Actually, I don't know where to go, but in this Spirit Realm, strength is paramount. I want to improve my power!"
"Mr. Lu has great ambition!"
The Bai family head clasped his fists, "However, the border is fraught with danger. Mr. Lu, you must be extra careful venturing alone!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Patriarch Bai!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "I will be careful!"
"I've heard that within the White Dragon Dynasty, there are many immortal cultivation academies. If Mr. Lu can attend an academy, you will surely achieve great things in the future!" Bai Xiaoqing said.
"Immortal cultivation academies?" Lu Fan asked with slight surprise, "Are they like colleges?"
"That's right, it's that kind of model!"
Bai Xiaoqing nodded solemnly, "A thousand miles to the north is the North Sea Academy. If you go there to study, you will surely achieve great things, and even be able to soar through the clouds!"
"But I still need to find my other friends!" Lu Fan hesitated, as Long Yi and the others were still missing, which worried him.
"If your friends are capable, they will surely seek further studies in academies!" Bai Xiaoqing added, "In this vast Spirit Realm, finding a few people is like finding a needle in a haystack. It's better to meet at the peak, when the circles become smaller!"
"That's true!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "In that case, I'll go to the North Sea Academy to have a look!"
"Mmm-hmm!"
Bai Xiaoqing quickly nodded, her eyes showing a hint of joy.
After Lu Fan left, Bai Xiaoqing continued to gaze at his receding figure, her eyes filled with expectation.
"He's already far gone, why haven't you settled your heart yet?" The Bai family head chuckled, "Mr. Lu is a good person, but unfortunately, he already has someone else. Otherwise, if you were with him, your father would be at ease!"
"Father, don't talk nonsense!"
Bai Xiaoqing quickly said, "I didn't mean anything by it!"
"You can fool others, but you can't fool me!"
The Bai family head smiled, "You asked Mr. Lu to go to the North Sea Academy, presumably to meet him again later? But you must understand that this matter is not as simple as it seems! Those who can enter the North Sea Academy are no ordinary individuals."
"Of course, I know that. That's why from now on, I will cultivate diligently!" Bai Xiaoqing said seriously, "At least I can follow in Mr. Lu's footsteps!"
After saying that, Bai Xiaoqing left and went to the courtyard, immediately entering seclusion.
The Bai family head stood by, shaking his head helplessly. He knew very well that with Bai Xiaoqing's talent, she would never be able to catch up to Lu Fan.
It was as the saying goes, in youth, never meet an outstanding person, for it will be your lifelong regret.
After leaving the Bai family, Lu Fan headed towards the direction of the North Sea Academy. He was aimless now. If he could find Long Yi and the others at the North Sea Academy, it would be a happy event. If not, he could also learn something at the North Sea Academy and have a place in this Spirit Realm.
A few days later, in a tavern in a certain city, several men wearing cloaks sat inside, eating and drinking heartily, looking as if they were starving.
"Young Master, we've been fleeing for days. I reckon the Misty Sect has given up!" one of the men said.
"We cannot let our guard down!"
Lin Qingbei said, "Since the Misty Sect has made a move, they must be prepared to eliminate all traces. If they catch us, we will not survive!"
Following these words, the men quickly nodded, taking them very seriously. As Lin Qingbei said, any slight mistake would cause trouble.
"I plan to go to the North Sea Academy. After achieving success there, I will surely avenge my family's deep hatred!" Lin Qingbei gritted his teeth.
"We will follow the Young Master!"
Many men nodded, their expressions solemn.
Lin Qingbei nodded slightly. As the young master of the Lin family, he naturally felt helpless after suffering such a setback.
It was a pity that his plan had not succeeded, otherwise he would not have ended up in this state.
As they were talking, another figure entered the tavern, causing Lin Qingbei's body to stiffen.
The faces of the Lin family guards also changed drastically. The person who arrived was Lu Fan, and they never expected to meet him here.
"Young Master, what should we do!" a guard said vigilantly, "Why don't we fight him!"
"Don't be in a hurry!"
Lin Qingbei waved his hand, "He might not be coming for us!"
The guards nodded. They were covered by cloaks, so Lu Fan could not see them clearly and naturally did not recognize them.
"Boss, bring me a roast chicken and a pot of wine!" Lu Fan said.
"Coming right up!"
The boss quickly nodded and wrote down the order.
Lu Fan placed the Taixu Sword aside and leaned back. He had been traveling for the past few days and was quite tired.
"Xiao Fan, you don't have to be in such a hurry!" Lin Ke said, "Taking it slow and steady is the way to become better!"
"Don't worry, I won't wear myself out!" Lu Fan chuckled, "I have another purpose for going to the North Sea Academy, which is to meet some eminent people. Perhaps they have a way to help you restore your true form!"
"Let's hope so!" Lin Ke smiled bitterly. He had been sealed within the Taixu Sword and actually longed to return to reality.
However, he also knew very well that he was now just a wisp of soul, and restoring his true form was not that easy.
When the food arrived, Lu Fan began to eat. He also glanced at the vicinity. At a table not far away, several men in cloaks sat, looking quite mysterious, drinking wine from time to time.
Lu Fan would not have paid attention, but he could clearly feel that these people were casually glancing at him from the corner of their eyes, and even the aura within their bodies was fluctuating.
"Boss, the bill!" the cloaked men said, taking out silver and leaving the tavern.
"Did you notice, those men in cloaks seem to be from the Lin family!"
Lin Ke said, "Even though I am just a remnant soul now, I can still sense it!"
Lu Fan's expression changed. Last time in Baishui City, only Lin Qingbei and a few others from the Lin family had escaped. If it were them, it was highly possible. After all, those people were wearing cloaks, as if they were afraid of their identities being known.
Lu Fan chased after them, but unfortunately, the three had already disappeared. He felt a bit regretful, "Never mind, since they're gone, let's let them live! They don't pose a threat to the Bai family anyway!"
"Xiao Fan, you are too kind-hearted!" Lin Ke shook his head, "In the Spirit Realm, being so kind-hearted is not a good thing!"
