Chapter 440 Collecting Remuneration

"Is that so?" Hearing Wu Wangsheng say this, the dean smiled and said, "I'm relieved that they're doing well."

Finally, the dean asked, "I wonder how Xinze is doing?"

Upon hearing the name 'Xinze', Wu Wangsheng's previously nonchalant expression became much more serious, but the dean, with his back to him and looking at the students, did not notice.

"He's doing very well with Ling Yi."

...

When Ling Yi returned to their lodgings with Little Golden Tiger and Ye Qingshuang, Bai Jiu and Lin Chengtian were still cultivating.

When Bai Qingjue saw the two return, her gaze lingered on the little golden tiger for a moment before quickly shifting away. She asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Okay." Ling Yi responded, then looked at Bai Jiu and Lin Chengtian, who were still cultivating: "We'll leave once they stop."

"Okay," Bai Qingjue replied, without asking any further questions.

As night fell, Bai Jiu and Lin Chengtian stopped cultivating. As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang, as well as the little golden tiger sitting on Ling Yi's shoulder.

"Little Golden Tiger has finally woken up," Baijiu said. "Little Golden Tiger seems to have grown a bit."

Ye Qingshuang smiled and replied, "It has indeed grown a bit."

Lin Chengtian glanced at the little golden tiger, then looked at Ling Yi: "Now that the little golden tiger is awake, shouldn't we be leaving?"

"It's time to go," Ling Yi said, pulling the little golden tiger off his shoulder.

The little golden tiger was pulled down and grew bigger on the spot.

"Wow." Ye Qingshuang looked at the enlarged little golden tiger and said to Ling Yi, "It only looked a little bigger when it was in its mimicry form, but it looks much bigger when it returns to its original form."

Ling Yi looked at the enlarged little golden tiger, slightly surprised, but didn't show it on his face, and responded calmly.

Baijiu looked at the little golden tiger and said, "It looks twice as big as before."

Lin Chengtian said, "That's true."

Seeing that the group was just chatting and not moving, Bai Qingjue reminded them, "It's time to go. You can go upstairs and chat."

Upon hearing this, the group didn't delay any longer and all climbed onto the little golden tiger's back.

After everyone had boarded, the little golden tiger spread its wings and flew off the ground in a flash, heading towards the sea.

On the back of the little golden tiger, Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi: "Next, are we going to Jingzhou?"

"No rush," Ling Yi said. "Let's go back to Yunhai City first."

Ye Qingshuang was a little surprised to hear this. In the past, she would leave as soon as she found something. Why did she have to go back this time?

Under Ye Qingshuang's questioning gaze, Ling Yi said, "We helped Hai Ling, but we haven't asked her for any reward yet."

"Yes." Ye Qingshuang remembered: "Then let's go back to Yunhai City first."

Ye Qingshuang didn't care about what the City Lord of Yunhai could offer, but if Ling Yi wanted it, she wouldn't mind making a trip.

After the Little Golden Tiger advanced, not only did its body grow larger, but its speed also increased. What used to take half an hour to travel from Cloud Sea City to the island now only took a quarter of an hour to return.

After arriving in Yunhai City, Ling Yi asked Ye Qingshuang and the others to wait in one place, and went to the City Lord's Mansion alone.

Upon learning of Ling Yi's arrival, the Lord of Yunhai City brought Hai Ling to greet him.

"Miss Ling." Hai Ling rushed forward to thank Ling Yi upon seeing him, "Thank you so much for saving me that day."

“I didn’t save you for nothing.” Ling Yi interrupted Hai Ling and the city lord’s conversation directly: “I’ve come today to collect my reward.”

"Of course," said the City Lord of Yunhai. "May I ask what reward Miss Ling desires?"

"Besides the Holy Yuan Empire, there are other empires in Haizhou. I want you to spread the news that the Heavenly Bow is in my hands." Ling Yi looked at the city lord: "The wider the news spreads, the better."

After hearing Ling Yi's words, the city lord said, "Miss Ling, this is not a reward. Even if I don't spread this matter, other empires will know about it."

With such a big commotion at Guangyao Academy, His Majesty has sent many people there these days, but none of them have returned. Other empires are all keeping an eye on Shengyuan, so they probably received the news long ago. Why would His Majesty need to spread it?

Ling Yi knew all this, and looked at the city lord: "That's why I came to find you."

City Lord: "What do you mean?"

Ling Yi said, "I want you to spread the news in a way that gives them the illusion that they can take the treasure from me, so that they will be tempted to come and take the treasure from me."

The city lord looked puzzled upon hearing this: "Why is that?"

Ling Yi didn't explain why: "Just do as I say."
