Chapter 2071 Battle Robe

“With Song Jian’s death, the other rebel forces were left without a leader, and I quickly quelled the rebellion.

Afterward, I returned to the Imperial City, thoroughly eradicated his remnants, and stabilized the situation. Now, the entire Imperial City of Tianfeng Empire is under the control of our mother and son.”

At this point, Hua Ziyue again expressed her gratitude, saying, “I must also thank Dr. Ye for his assistance this time; otherwise, our mother and son would have perished in Tianlang City.”

The truth was indeed so; if not for Ye Bufan’s other arrangements, bringing in the Golden-haired Wolf King and those Jifeng Wolves, they would have been utterly unable to deal with the rebel army at that time.

If it weren't for Xiao Qing's help in killing Blood Clad Qi Huan and Song Jian, the situation would still have been unmanageable.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ye Bufan single-handedly saved the entire Tianfeng Empire.

Hua Ziyue said again, “Dr. Ye, we have faced life and death together; please tell me if you have any requests.

If you are willing to become an official, I can directly make you a Prince of the Tianfeng Empire, the Grand Marshal of the Army, controlling all military power…”

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Bufan waved his hand and said, “Let’s not. I’m used to being unrestrained and cannot be an official. Moreover, I will be leaving the Tianfeng Empire after some time.”

What he needed to do now was to find every possible way to return to Earth and reunite with his family; how could he possibly stay here to be some Prince or Marshal?

“Alright then, if you ever change your mind, feel free to come find me. What I have said will always be valid!”

Hua Ziyue sighed, filled with regret.

Ye Bufan asked again, “Feng Xingkong is dead. Has Cangfeng Academy had any reaction?”

“Regarding Cangfeng Academy, I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to the main academy.

According to the agreement between the Imperial Family and the Academy, we do not interfere with each other. However, since Feng Xingkong participated in the rebellion, he deserved his death.

The Academy had no objections and has now sent a new Dean to reorganize this branch academy.”

Ye Bufan nodded; these were all within his expectations.

Hua Ziyue then said, “Now that Cangfeng Academy is completely stable, you don’t need to worry about it. What you need to worry about is the North Sky Sword Sect.

You killed their Young Sect Leader, Fang Huayu, so I’m afraid they won’t let it go easily. You must be more careful.”

“Don’t worry about that. The North Sky Sword Sect has already been completely annihilated by me…”

Ye Bufan briefly and concisely explained how he annihilated the North Sky Sword Sect, without going into much detail or explaining the methods he used.

Hua Ziyue listened, dumbfounded.

She was very clear about how strong the North Sky Sword Sect was, yet she never expected it to be so easily annihilated.

After the shock, the two chatted for a few more moments, and he took out a jade token and handed it over.

“Dr. Ye, this is an invitation jade token for the New Talent Ranking Tournament. It will be held in the Imperial City of Daxing Empire in five days. I hope your Lingxiao Academy achieves great success.”

In the past, the Tianfeng Empire was the weakest among the thirty-six nations, always ranking last in every New Talent Ranking Tournament.

This was not just a matter of face but also involved the distribution of interests among Empires.

But this time, the situation was different. With Ye Bufan and the newly re-established Lingxiao Academy, Hua Ziyue saw hope anew.

“Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you.”

Ye Bufan was determined to win this New Talent Ranking Tournament; he had to get the hongyuan fruit no matter what.

After bidding farewell to Hua Ziyue and returning to Lingxiao Academy, the happiest person in the entire academy was none other than Li Daoran.

He had just received news from Li Qingzhu and others, knowing that Ye Bufan had already killed Feng Xingkong and secured all the spots for the New Talent Ranking Tournament.

“Dean, you have fulfilled an old wish of mine for many years and avenged my Lingxiao Academy. Words cannot express my gratitude; please accept my bow!”

With that, he bowed deeply to Ye Bufan.

“Elder Li, it’s nothing. I am the Dean now, and this is what I should do.”

Since they were all family, he no longer called him Senior. Ye Bufan changed his address and reached out to help him up.

“No matter what, today is a good day for our Lingxiao Academy. Everyone should celebrate properly.”

Li Daoran said with a beaming smile, “Dean, I have already prepared the celebration banquet.”

“Elder Li, you are thoughtful.”

Ye Bufan looked around, then asked in confusion, “Where is the celebration banquet?”

“Isn’t it here?”

Li Daoran pointed to the dining table set up nearby; on the empty table, there were only a few sets of bowls and chopsticks, with nothing else.

“I know the Dean has many delicacies, and other things might not suit your taste, so I only prepared the tableware. The food and drinks will depend on the Dean.”

Ye Bufan’s face immediately darkened. This scene was so familiar; Luo Yudie had played this trick before.

But at least she was a beautiful woman, so it was acceptable for her to do so. How could this rotten Old Man play the same trick?

Nevertheless, today was a great day. Ye Bufan took out fine wine and delicacies from his Storage Ring, and everyone began

to drink heartily and celebrate enthusiastically.

Li Daoran was extremely excited. Although the poison in his body had been cured, his habit of drinking had not changed at all. He immediately drank a bottle of five grains liquid in one go.

He wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth: “Dean, the Empress Dowager has entrusted me to be the leader of the Tianfeng Empire’s team, and we are about to set off for the Daxing Empire.”

“That’s great! When do we depart?”

“After this drink, this Old Man will leave immediately.”

Li Daoran rubbed his hands and said with a fawning expression, “Um, the wine you gave me before is all gone. Do you think you could give this Old Man some more?

Otherwise, if I get to the Daxing Empire and have no wine to drink, how will I live?”

“Certainly!”

Ye Bufan knew this Old Man was addicted to alcohol, so he took out two more boxes of Erguotou and gave them to him.

Li Daoran happily put them into his Storage Ring, then said, “Oh, by the way, Dean, this time, in order to promote the prestige of my Lingxiao Academy of the Tianfeng Empire, this Old Man made preparations beforehand.”

With that, he extended a hand, and a black robe appeared in his grasp.

“This is the battle robe I prepared early for Lingxiao Academy’s participants in the New Talent Ranking Tournament. Dean, what do you think? Isn’t it good?”

Everyone’s gaze turned towards it. The black robe in Li Daoran’s hand had the four large characters ‘Lingxiao Academy’ embroidered on the chest, and ‘Tianfeng Empire’ on the back.

Before Ye Bufan could speak, Li Qingzhu exclaimed, “Grandpa, this battle robe is too ugly!”

Li Daoran glared, “What do you know, you stinky girl? This is a great idea that Grandpa thought of for three days and three nights.

As long as we wear it and stand on the arena, everyone will know about Lingxiao Academy of the Tianfeng Empire.”

“Not bad!”

Ye Bufan, however, smiled and nodded. He hadn't expected this Old Man to have modern advertising thinking.

Wearing this clothing out would immediately establish Lingxiao Academy’s reputation; it was indeed a good way to quickly boost its fame.

He had already decided that after this New Talent Ranking Tournament, he would hand over the Dean’s position to Li Daoran. Before that, it was only right to contribute some effort to the Academy.

“See? Even the Dean says it’s good!”

Li Daoran’s face showed a hint of smugness. He then took out several more robes, distributing one to each person.

He then forced everyone to put them on immediately, and only then did he nod in satisfaction.

Finally, he grabbed the wine on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and was the first to leave Lingxiao Academy.
