--- Chapter 85 ---

Jia Nan Academy.

At the front gate, Baek Ain and his companions entered as guests for a thousand flame refinement ceremonies. Baek Ain especially had a weak smile behind his face mask as he wondered why this happened.

Well, let's return to a few days ago.

...

...

"Well, I'll choose this one then."

Baek Ain pressed his finger against the Demonic Faction's option, as Han Feng's side wasn't pleasant for him. In this alternative universe of Battle Through the Heaven, Han Feng still betrays Yao Chen, but Yao Men is the main culprit.

So, no Hall of Soul is involved.

Even if Han Feng had a connection with the Hall of Soul, it is probably a business relationship because of his alchemist expertise.

Baek Ain is leaning toward the Demonic Faction as this new group piques his interest more. He also can explore the unknown area and Sign In for more rewards.

[Ding! You have chosen "Demonic Faction."]

[Han Feng has declared war against the "Fallen Orchid Sect." from the Demonic Faction. The reason is unknown for now, but he's very determined to seize something]

[Name: Help the Fallen Orchid Sect]

[Objective: Defeat Han Feng and his support (0/115)]

[Time Limit: A Week]

[Failure's Penalty: -20% Demonic Faction's Alignments]

[Reward: +20% Demonic Faction's Alignments and 1x Mysterious Stone]

[The quest is automatically accepted when choosing "Demonic Faction."]

"I expected this already." Baek Ain rolled his eyes.

He flipped through the news of Central Plains, finding one related to the Fallen Orchid Sect. It was a piece of old information from a month ago because this sect agreed to attend the thousand flame refinement ceremonies at the Jia Nan Academy.

Even though the Fallen Orchid Sect is in a crucial condition now, they sent their representative a week ago to Jia Nan Academy already. So, this sect from the Demonic Faction is probably hoping for support one way or another.

Unfortunately, the distance between Jia Nan Academy and Central Plains is quite long. Baek Ain checked the map of Central Plains and drew some lines of the route.

He discovered the shortest path required a week of the journey. After all, there is no Spatial Gate to connect the Fallen Orchid Sect(a secluded faction) in the middle of nowhere to Jia Nan Academy.

Jia Nan Academy invited the Fallen Orchid Sect to attend the thousand flame refinement ceremonies because someone from this sect is a graduate.

Thinking about this matter, Baek Ain checked if Beast Taming Gate got any information about Jia Nan Academy. He dug through thick layers of papers and scrolls.

After five minutes of searching, Baek Ain found it.

It was a letter from three months ago.

"I could already guess what's the content of this letter." A wry smile appeared on Baek Ain's voice.

As Baek Ain opened the letter, it was confirmed. The content of this letter is pretty much a pleasantry toward his victory against the Old Ground Demon Ghost and ascend as the ruler of the Black-Corner Region.

Since Jia Nan Academy is close to the Black-Corner Region, the Great Elder hoped for cooperation in the future. He also hoped Bai Ya to visit the academy and attend the thousand flame refinement ceremonies.

It gives Baek Ain a reason to visit Jia Nan Academy. He could have gotten Fallen Heart Flame earlier, but being close to Xiao Yan and his annoying companions caused him to hold this plan.

Well, they won't pose much of a threat against Baek Ain now. He has become much more powerful than a year ago.

After thinking about it, Baek Ain whistled and called for his flying pet. A massive winged beast appeared and floated near the throne room's window.

Yes, this beast is the Heavenly Gryphon.

It evolved from a 5-rank Magical Beast to 6-Rank, called Storm Emperor Gryphon.

Baek Ain named this guy "Little Storm." that's very fitting because Storm Emperor Gryphon could create a small storm with each wing flap, using its speed to travel from the safe house to the Beast Taming Gate quickly.

"Do you need something, my lord?" A soothing voice came from the Wind Emperor Gryphon. It was a feminine voice, but this magical beast was a male.

Baek Ain smiled and answered, "Yes. Send my words to the Jia Nan Academy's Grand Elder."

"And what's the word?"

"I'll attend the Thousand Flame Refinement Ceremony."

"Your wish is my command." Little Storm nodded and disappeared from the window, spreading over the cloud above Beast Taming Gate's Territory.

...

And that's how Baek Ain currently stood at the Jia Nan Academy's front gate. Of course, with his appearance as Bai Ya.

His companions also wore their disguise, a tactical black dress that covered their bodies and veil. The only difference between them is the pattern of the dress.

Yafei wore a feather-patterned dress.

Yi Xian wore a spider web-like patterned dress.

And Lan Rou wore a red cloud-patterned dress, which reminded Baek Ain of a dripped group. It is a coincidence, as he wasn't the person who told this dress code.

They come up with these dresses alone.

Oh yeah, Baek Ain's appearance is also not too shabby. He sported a low collar dark blue suit, matching pants, and leather boots, topped by a dark brown trench coat. He formerly opted for a cloak, but a trench coat did a better job of concealing his physical appearance.

Baek Ain didn't appear skinny or bulky, just the right size for a handsome-looking adult man. If Baek Ain opened his face mask, several ladies would get their hearts stolen immediately.

Coupled with three beauties, Baek Ain looks like a complete womanizer now.

"Looks, that man is so cool~!" A squeal came from a female student of Jia Nan Academy. Her friend followed and felt a weird sensation in her heart, falling for this mysterious man.

Baek Ain arrived just a few minutes ago, and there were "already." a group of female students admiring him. And they might call him "Daddy." out of spite.

Something like this won't happen in his past life.

The male students grit their teeth in disbelief as they have never seen such a cool-looking man. And Not to mention the three beauties on his side, which even the veil couldn't conceal the charming aura.

They are jealous but more awed than anything.

Baek Ain locked on a silver-haired female student as she stared at him solemnly. He approached her and asked calmly, "Uh, pardon. Do you know where Senior Su Qian is?"

"A-Ah, me? Are you talking to me?" She reacted as if she got awakened from a daydream.

"Obviously." Baek Ain chuckled helplessly, making the young woman blush.

'This guy, Don't touch our Goddess Han Yue!' The male students shouted in their hearts when witnessing this scenery. Meanwhile, female students felt the opposite.

'Uwaah! Senior Sister Han Yue is so lucky~!!'

Cough! Cough!

"I appreciated your understanding for attending the Thousand Flame Refinement Ceremony, but can you please not flirt with our academy's students?" A calm voice appeared from the sky.

An elder descended from the sky, flowing his black robe gently.

He appeared to be in his late forties with white hair and a neat mustache, giving off the sensation of seniority. Something about this elder's temperance soothes all the chaos Baek Ain created in five minutes.

Baek Ain smiled behind his face mask and returned, "Flirting? I'm just asking for directions."

"Well, I won't deny that she's beautiful."

"T-Thank you..." The young woman bowed to Baek Ain and ran away in the distance, leaving everyone speechless. Jia Nan's beauty ran away like a shy kitten.

"..." Su Qian sighed in defeat.

Youths these days are playing around with their feelings too much.

Train to become stronger, can't you?

He looked at Baek Ain and mumbled, "It's understandable, I guess."

"In my younger days, many girls wanted me..."

'Sure.' Everyone couldn't help but think. Even though the Grand Elder is mumbling, they can hear it.

Baek Ain clapped his hand gently to end this awkward mood and said, "Anyway, Senior Su Qian. Can you please tell me about this Thousand Flame Refinement Ceremony?"

"Oh, also... By any chance, do you know anyone from the Fallen Orchid Sect?"

"If you do, please introduce that person to me." He added casually.

"That's a lot of questions, but okay..." Su Qian nodded while escorting them into the Jia Nan Academy.
