Chapter 300 Heavenly Son on the List

The early morning in the beginning of summer was the most beautiful.

The morning sun lit up the sky, cool breeze blew the tip of the trees, the sunlight shone past the swaying twigs and formed pieces of shadows on the ground; everything in sight was clear and bright.

Early summer.

It was supposed to be the clearest season in the world.

Li Tianlan stood by the window in the bed-ward and looked far away, thinking about something in silence.

Li Baitian who was lying on the bed with his upper body covered with bandages stared at him quietly.

The sunlight shone in the room from outside the window and landed on Li Tianlan’s body with halo layers. Li Tianlan who was standing still, seemed to dissolve into the sunlight and turn into the floating dust in the light column; so illusory that it seemed fake.

There was a knock at the door.

Soft and gentle.

Li Tianlan moved his body and looked at Li Baitian.

Ning Qiancheng and Xu Chu were wheeled outside for a walk by the nurses; they were the only two people in the room.

Li Baitian shrugged and moved his bandaged upper body; he felt extreme pain. Then he took a deep breath, looked at Li Tianlan and said with a smile, “You’re quite popular.”

The person kept knocking at the door, in a calm and steady way.

Li Tianlan shook his head. “Too bad there’s no point.”

He walked out the bed-ward and into the living room, then he opened the door.

A very young woman stood outside the door.

The woman was very beautiful with makeup on; she wore a skirt that barely covered her butt and a red tight sling top, showing as much skin as possible.

He smelled a heavy fragrance.

Li Tianlan didn’t change his expression, but his nose twitched subconsciously.

The woman put too much perfume on, he felt it was hard to breathe.

“Your Highness, I’m Tong Yue, representative of Snipe Lessons from Class two.”

The woman said softly, her eyes looked bright and obedient.

She called him His Highness.

That was a dramatic title, but he was worth it.

Li Tianlan had gone missing for three years, but his battle in Heaven Capital was still very famous. Even when he had lost his combat capability from back then, he was still ranked number nine on the Divine List at the moment; he was still the top-notch figure of the younger generation in Zhongzhou State.

That was actually bad for him, but his identity was worth the title of His Highness.

“Hello.”

Li Tianlan nodded with a smile and let Tong Yue in.

Representative of Snipe Lessons from Class two.

Her title was very rare.

There were about dozens of classes in the Sky Academy.

Zhuang Huayang’s class was Class One, which was the most elite class.

And Class Two was led by superior The Enchantress from the Wang family of Beihai; Class Two was half as elite as Class One.

Tone Yue was the representative of Snipe Lessons from Class Two.

Li Tianlan let her in and poured her a glass of water.

He left the door of the bed-ward open.

So Li Baitian could hear their conversation.

Tong Yue spoke in such a respectful and obedient way. Li Baitian listened quietly, but his eyes showed that he was losing interest.

The conversation was very short; it lasted less than ten minutes.

Tong Yue left.

Li Tianlan walked into the bed-ward again.

“This is the fifth group?”

Li Baitian asked.

Li Tianlan nodded and said yes.

“And no one said anything?”

Li Baitian frowned.

“It means that they’re smart. Before the final result comes out, no one would say anything.”

Li Tianlan walked to the window again with a smile and looked at the outside world.

His eyes looked calm and peaceful, but his stare was extremely focused.

Only when he stayed long enough in the invariable polar region, could he learn how beautiful and colorful was the outside world with changing seasons.

Li Baitian sneered and shook his head. “Idiots. When the final result comes out, they would be too cheap and weak for us.”

Li Tianlan said nothing.

Li Tianlan had stayed in the Sky Academy for two days.

In two days, Kunlun City had stated their standpoint and asked the Sky Academy to find Gu Yunxia’s killer.

Li Tianlan was the biggest suspect.

But at the moment he was the person with the less suspicion.

The monitoring video from the hospital had been delivered to the Principal’s office.

All the departments in school had done their research.

There was nothing suspicious in the monitoring video.

When Gu Yunxia was killed by that strike of Sword of Emperor Path, Li Tianlan was indeed talking to Qin Ke in the hospital.

The hospital was close to the training ground, but there were still two kilometers between the two places.

That distance could prove that Li Tianlan didn’t do it.

But Kunlun City kept pressuring Zhuang Huayang. It was said that Gu Xingyun invited Wang Tianzong to Kunlun City.

And Gu Youlan, the leader of Jilei Mountain, which was one of the four superpowers of the younger generation was alive, but he was seriously injured. It was said that he could drop out of the final maneuver of the two academies.

It was said that Gu Xingyun and Wang Tianzong were discussing about establishing a regional Special Warfare headquarters in the whole Zhongzhou State.

The meeting of High-level officials in Zhongzhou State would be held a few days later in the beginning of the month.

As Li Tianlan, there was a change in every aspect in the whole Zhongzhou State. The change was very small, and it was just a possibility at the moment, but a huge amount of rumors were enough to change the future of Li Tianlan and East Emperor Palace in a bad way.

But at the moment, Li Tianlan was still the Young Governor of Sigh City.

And it was said that he had a closer relationship with the Dongcheng Clan.

As Li Tianlan came back, the future of East Emperor Palace would be full of hardship, but it wasn’t entirely hopeless.

So in the past few days, there were quite a lot of students from the Sky Academy that had gone to visit Li Tianlan.

They were all very respectful.

But none of them showed any sign that they wanted to join East Emperor Palace.

Everyone was waiting for the result.

They might be waiting for the action from Kunlun City and the Wang family of Beihai.

Or they might be waiting for the result of the final maneuver.

But they might also be waiting for the result of the battle between the union of Sigh City and the Dongcheng Clan against the union of Kunlun City and the Wang family of Beihai.

Before they could see them, no one would rush to join East Emperor Palace.

They visited Li Tianlan just because they wanted to get close to him.

“What do you think they are waiting for?”

Li Baitian suddenly asked.

“The final maneuver.”

Li Tianlan said in a calm tone, “To them, this should be the most specific signal.”

Kunlun City and the Wang family of Beihai would definitely do something.

Sigh City and the Dongcheng Clan would definitely do something as well.

The battle was inevitable.

Judging from strength, the difference was very obvious.

But that was bound to be a long process, so long that many changes could happen.

In the eyes of those truly ambitious people, they could make some seemingly stupid decisions in a long enough time.

The students from Sky Academy might be very cautious, but they were brave.

But they needed to see a broader future than that, to make the decision of their lives.

Li Tianlan being back was a signal.

But obviously, he hurt Gu Yunxia seriously with a sword strike. Even if he did use that strike of Sword of Emperor Path, there was still something missing in his performance.

No matter how the people who wanted to join East Emperor Palace thought, at least they would need to think that East Emperor Palace could grant them a future that Kunlun City and the Wang family of Beihai couldn’t.

They believed in Li Tianlan, but not entirely.

Especially when East Emperor Palace had a great loss in power and their main superiors were all seriously injured; they needed Li Tianlan who had returned to do something more.

Phantom Palace.

Three Thousand World.

Countless young superiors were about to gather in the final maneuver.

And currently, Li Tianlan was alone.

If he could be powerful enough to beat Phantom Palace and Three Thousand World alone, standing on the top of the final maneuver, then no one would question the future of East Emperor Palace; more and more people would join.

The people who went to visit Li Tianlan in the past few days just wanted to get closer to Li Tianlan.

If he failed in the final maneuver, then they wouldn’t say anything else.

But if he stood in the last place and graduated with the highest score, then those people would finally state their standpoints.

“When I win the final maneuver, East Emperor Palace will have a future.”

Li Tianlan said.

He didn’t mention what would happen if he lost.

He would never lose.

That was his unshakable confidence.

“Can you win?”

Li Baitian asked with a low voice after a long silence.

Compared to Jiang Shangyu who always kept a low profile, Li Baitian had seen how powerful Song Ci was when he was on a mission.

That was a flamboyant and overdramatic woman.

Li Baitian couldn’t figure out her power.

Li Tianlan’s sword strike that severely injured Gu Yunxia and Gu Youlan was indeed very powerful.

But Song Ci couldn’t necessarily do that.

So he understood why the students who came to visit Li Tianlan wouldn’t state their positions.

There was another thing that Li Baitian didn’t want to admit, but he had to.

Because the two academies shared the same mission system, East Emperor Palace had met Phantom Palace by chance on field missions for three times.

The two parties didn’t have a big conflict with each other overseas.

But in the battles of the two parties, Phantom Palace had always won.

But at the moment…

No matter if it was Xu Chu, Ning Qiancheng or him, none of them could recover from their injuries before the final maneuver.

Then the situation in the final maneuver…

“Trust me.”

Li Tianlan put on a smile. “I’ll win this.”

East Emperor Palace might face countless hardships and suppression in the future.

But only when he won the final maneuver, could East Emperor Palace face them.

That was his first step in Zhongzhou State, his beginning.

“I don’t know how powerful is Jiang Shangyu, but please be careful with Song Ci.”

Li Baitian warned him with a cautious expression. “There’s something wrong with this woman.”

Li Tianlan frowned. Before he could say anything, some crisp ticking sound suddenly rang out.

The wristwatch on Li Baitian hand that was used to calculate credit started to vibrate.

“The list of the first group of students from Deep-sea Academy coming to Huating has been confirmed.”

Li Baitian said softly.

Li Tianlan remained calm.

The students from the Deep-sea Academy would be divided into ten groups; they would reach the Sky Academy, group by group in a week.

The first group was definitely the most elite.

The list of the first group had been sent to students’ communicators, which meant that the group of people had already arrived at Sky Academy!

Song Ci must be in it.

Li Tianlan was a bit curious.

Li Baitian lowered his head and read the list.

First there were three superpowers on the list.

Three Thousand World.

Phantom Palace.

Blizzard.

Then they were followed by the specific list.

The screen on the wristwatch was very small.

The list scrolled down very slowly.

Li Baitian read it quietly.

Phantom Palace was the first superpower to appear.

Song Ci’s name was on top.

Then different names from Phantom Palace started to scroll down.

All the way to the last name.

Li Baitian’s face changed rapidly.

He moved his body subconsciously, the bandage on his body suddenly became bloody.

But Li Baitian didn’t notice.

His face was overcast with worry.

The last line of names from the Phantom Palace on the list kept rolling up.

A horrifying name occupied his sight.

That was the last name from Phantom Palace on the list.

Wang Shengxiao!

The list kept scrolling down.

It was Three Thousand World after Phantom Palace.

It was the organization put up by Jiang Shangyu.

Li Baitian read the list quietly and suddenly felt powerlessness all over his body.

That time he didn’t need to wait for the last name on the list.

Because the founder of Three Thousand World, Jiang Shangyu’s name was on the second line.

There was a name on top of his.

Gu Hanshan!

Li Baitian looked up rapidly.

The sunlight from outside the window shone in the bed-ward quietly.

Everything was a quiet void.

At some point, Li Tianlan had disappeared from the bed-ward quietly.
