Chapter 1093: Hearing the News

The next day, Li Luo woke up and walked down the steps in the small building he was staying in. To his surprise, he found an unknown lady sitting opposite Mentor Chi Chan at the table in front of the window. She was equipped with an azure jade armor with a crown that seemed to be woven from grass sitting lightly on her head.

She appeared casual and relaxed, but just by sitting there, she was giving off an indescribably terrifying aura.

A King!

Li Luo was familiar with such aura. He recognized how strong this lady was immediately.

As he was left a little dumbstruck, the lady in the jade armor looked up and smiled. "You must be Li Luo."

Li Luo walked closer to the table, cupped his hands together, and greeted her respectfully. "Greetings, Senior."

Mentor Chi Chan smiled a little and said, "Li Luo, this is Vice Principal Lan Lingzi."

His face lit up when he heard this. He had finally found the person he was looking for. Although he was still unsure of the relationship between Principal Pang and her, she was definitely not like Wu Yu. He had finally found a vice principal in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College that was willing to speak to him.

With her help, things would undoubtedly go smoother now.

"I've finally found the esteemed Vice Principal Lan Lingzi," Li Luo said with a bow.

Lan Lingzi signaled for Li Luo to take a seat. She studied him with her eyes for a while and then said with a smile. "Not bad, you've made your Principal proud with your results in the academic evaluation. If that old man heard about this, he would surely be very elated."

Li Luo was a little embarrassed as he replied, "Principal Pang has treated me really well, and I am very grateful to the Astral Sage College. Since I was given an opportunity, I naturally did my very best to repay them."

Lan Lingzi nodded and said, "You really are the type that appreciates and treasures your relationships. Old Pang sure is good at selecting students. He asked you to come to this college and look for me, am I right? Our college happens to be in the jmiddle of an extremely important mission, so I haven't been around."

Li Luo blinked a few times. "Principal Pang specifically told us that when we come to the Heavenly Origin Ancient College, we must pay Vice Principal Lan Lingzi a visit and check how she's doing. At the same time, he wanted us to convey the message that if you are ever free, do drop by the Astral Sage College and have a look at what he has been working on all these years."

Mentor Chi Chan glared at Li Luo upon hearing this. Would Principal Pang ever say such words?

Li Luo did not pay much attention to her reaction. Based on how Lan Lingzi referred to Principal Pang, he was sure that the two were quite close. As such, he had to do something to help him. Besides, if he could make a King like Lan Lingzi pay the Xia Kingdom a visit, the situation there might finally be dealt with.

Lan Lingzi laughed lightly when she heard his words. "If that old man with his stubborn personality were capable of saying such words, do you think that he would have had to leave the Heavenly Origin Ancient College and go to the outer divine continent?"

Li Luo suddenly felt a pang of embarrassment. "Damn it, Old Pang. Why did you leave such an impression in Vice Principal Lan Lingzi's heart?"

"Vice Principal Lan Lingzi, how are you related to Principal Pang?" Li Luo immediately asked curiously.

He had hung around Li Jingzhe so much that he didn't feel much restraint nor the immense respect others were overcome with when speaking to Kings.

Mentor Chi Chan simply shook her head helplessly on the side. This brat was indeed daring.

Fortunately, Vice Principal Lan Lingzi was a straightforward person as well. "I had a relationship with him, but it ended with nothing."

At this moment, Li Luo finally realized that she was his ex-girlfriend!

Following this, Mentor Chi Chan continued the conversation to prevent things from becoming too awkward. "Vice Principal Lan Lingzi, the Astral Sage College has encountered a great disaster. It's now in urgent need of assistance from your college in terms of resources. Please kindly help us out."

Lan Lingzi nodded. "You have won a first tier spot in the evaluation, so we will definitely pass you the resources you've earned. At the same time, I will try my best to increase the amount allocated to your college."

At this point, Li Luo cut in and added, "As well as the share that Vice Principal Wu Yu lost to me. Please help us include that as well."

Lan Lingzi smiled and replied, "Don't worry. Although Wu Yu is arrogant, he'll definitely agree since he accepted the bet. If he went back on his word here, he would lose all face."

Hearing this, Li Luo took the chance to add a few more complaints. "When we first arrived here, the Lake Sage College was trying to snatch the Astral Sage College's share. They said that their principal is from the same clan as Vice Principal Wu Yu. There might be some personal vendetta involved here.”

Lan Lingzi frowned a little when she heard this. "Is that so? I'll definitely look into it in the future. If Wu Yu's involved, I will report it to the Principal."

Li Luo was finally satisfied. Although he knew that Wu Yu would not receive a significant punishment, it was still worth frustrating that old codger in any way he could.

Lan Lingzi looked at the two of them and chuckled. "Since Old Pang asked for you to look for me, feel free to let me know if you need any help."

Chi Chan hesitated for a moment before she began, "Vice Principal Lan Lingzi, the Tree of Resonant Power in the Astral Sage College has been destroyed. Without a high-grade Tree of Resonant Power, the future of the Astral Sage College will be at risk. Our development will also be severely limited, so..."

"A high-grade Tree of Resonant Power..."

Lan Lingzi pondered in silence for a moment. "The seeds of the high-grade Tree of Resonant Power are under the strict control of the Academic Federation. I am unable to make a decision on this matter. We'll have to wait for the Principal and the others to return and hold a Principal's Council to decide on it. However, I will keep this in mind and help you to push for it with all my strength when the time comes."

Mentor Chi Chan thanked her quickly. She also understood that the distribution of such strategic resources could not be decided by Vice Principal Lan Lingzi alone. Any help Vice Principal Lan Lingzi could provide would go a long way.

At this point, Lan Lingzi's attention turned towards Li Luo. She had noticed that Li Luo was fidgeting around as if he had something to say. She smiled and asked, "Looking at you, is there something you would like to ask?"

Li Luo nodded frantically and replied earnestly, "There are some small matters that I would like to trouble you with, Vice Principal Lan Lingzi"

"What is it?" Lan Lingzi replied casually as she took a sip from her tea cup.

"Firstly, I would like to borrow the Tree of Resonant Power in the college to transfer an object to the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. This treasure is extremely important, and I would like to send it over to my fiancee over at the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College.

"Secondly, I am very interested in the Three Dragon's Heavenly Banner Canon in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. I was wondering if you could let me have a look at it, please.

"And thirdly! Does the Tree of Resonant Power in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College produce some kind of ingredient that contains the pure and ancient lifeforce of the tree?"

In one breath, Li Luo listed out all his requests as he looked back at Lan Lingzi.

Lan Lingzi nearly spat out the tea in her mouth when she heard him. She glared at him and said, "You sure don't hold back.

"The first matter is fine, no problem at all. As for the Three Dragons' Heavenly Banner Canon, it is a top-tier Duke Art of our college; how could I just let you take a look at it? As for the third matter, the ingredient from the Tree of Resonant Power that contains a huge amount of lifeforce energy would be the Seed of the Tree of Resonant Power, right? Judging from what you've mentioned, it seems like the lifeforce energy you're looking for is no ordinary one. In that case, you must be referring to the seed from a high-grade Tree of Resonant Power."

She shot Li Luo a strange look at this point. "I have already explained the difficulties and process involved in obtaining the seed of a high-grade Tree of Resonant Power. Moreover, the Academic Federation has never given such a seed to an individual before. I would say you can probably forget about that."

Li Luo was dumbfounded when he heard this. He had no idea that what he needed was the seed of a high-grade Tree of Resonant Power. This was the same thing that the Astral Sage College had been dying for, so how could he fight them for it?

In that case, his dream of completing the Divine Cultivation Serum was up in flames!

Li Luo frowned and finally sighed. It seemed that he would have to put more thought into this. If it really couldn't work out, he would have to go back and ask Li Jingzhe if he had any other alternatives.

"In that case, may I trouble you to help me send the item over to the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College?" Li Luo asked.

Lan Lingzi pondered for a bit. "Is that fiancee of yours a student from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College? Which Star Hall is she in? If it's the Three Star Hall and above, I think you may not need to use the Tree of Resonant Power to send the item over."

Li Luo was stunned at her reply. What did she mean by that?

"My fiancee should be in the Four Star Hall currently. No, with her talent, she may very well be in the Heavenly Star Hall of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College already. Her name is Jiang Qing'e," Li Luo explained in a hurry.

Lan Lingzi nodded slightly as she repeated the name Jiang Qing'e a few times. Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes and stared at Li Luo.

"Are you sure your fiancee is Jiang Qing'e from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College?"

Li Luo nodded in confirmation.

Mentor Chi Chan added, "His fiancee is indeed named Jiang Qing'e. She used to be a student in the Astral Sage College as well. It's been more than a year since she entered the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College if I remember correctly. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Lan Lingzi took another look at Li Luo, and her eyes lit up with interest.

"From what I know, there is indeed a girl named Jiang Qing'e in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College—she's so famous that even I've heard of her. She is the most talked about student over there. The vice principals over there are treating her like their most precious treasure."

Li Luo was a little puzzled. Jiang Qing'e was indeed very talented. However, there were probably many others with ninth-grade light resonances in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, right?

Was Vice Principal Lan Lingzi exaggerating?

Lan Lingzi could tell what he was thinking from the look on his face, and she chuckled.

"She has double ninth-grade light resonances before reaching the Duke Stage. This requires a monstrous amount of talent. I do not know where Old Pang gets his luck to have such an outstanding student coming from his college."

"Eh?!"

A look of surprise appeared on Li Luo and Mentor Chi Chan's faces. They were completely lost for words.

Double ninth-grade light resonance?
