Chapter 129 – Sand Covers The Eyes! (1/2)

129 – Sand covers the eyes!

Biting-cold mountain wind blew and clouds rolled across the sky.

Standing on a huge boulder on the cliff, it was much harder to see the vast green Flower Language Plains at the foot of the mountain.

The wind was too strong; the fog was too dense.

With the heart in the sky and the body in the midst of fog and clouds, the distance the eyes could see was limited.

The pet.i.te old man was wearing the school's white uniform, the same style as the school teachers but without clouds on his lapel. Instead there were a row of seven stars. The stars were arranged in a spoon shape, it's the Big Dipper.

Starry Sky's battle robe!

In the entire Starry Sky Academy, only he was allowed to wear the Starry Sky battle robe.

Originally there was also a woman, unfortunately the woman had disappeared for a long time and even now there's still no signs of her whereabouts.

No one knew where she was; this little old man has been very tight-lipped about this matter.

Because the Starry Sky battle robe was a relaxed fit, so his pet.i.te figure looked even thinner and smaller. His waist and back were slightly bent, like an old bow with its string pulled back, it seems the weight he carried was out of proportion to his body size.

His face looks like a kind little old man, but when you look closely into his eyes, his eyes are as deep as the ocean bed, yet at the same time as clear as rays of suns.h.i.+ne.

Anyone who sees this pair of eyes would feel that this is a kind little old man.

Yang Xiaohu respectfully stood in front of the old man and answered his question seriously: “Li Muyang is very good, he was the first student to climb Broken Mountain, he's one of the best among the hundreds of freshmen this term—–Dean really have great eyes like a torch. He was personally signed and admitted by you. Although Li Muyang haven't shown any amazing talent for the time being, but with a little coaching, hard work, this pearl will let off a dazzling radiance.”

With a kind smile, the old man said: “Coaching is a must, but it also depends on the person's nature and insights—–”

“Dean, student does not understand.” A puzzled expression crossed Yang Xiaohu's face, like a primary school student seeking help from a teacher. The old man was indeed his teacher back then, when he first started at Starry Sky Academy, this old man taught him [Dragon Language] and [Dragon Nature]. Although dragon slayer is not as popular as before, and many people often proposed to abolish the dragon slayer course, the old man stood his ground and went against the opinion of the ma.s.ses, and retained not just the dragon slayer course but also set aside the best resources for them.

It's also because of the teacher in front that Yang Xiaohu could persist till now and never doubted or lost faith.

He believes there must be a reason for his teacher to continue supporting Dragon Slaying; therefore, he was convinced that dragons exist in this world.

Exactly as the Dean also believed that dragons still existed.

“What do you not understand?”

“Student does not understand why you are treating Li Muyang so differently? This year, there are students that are the members of the royal family, outstanding youngsters of the tyc.o.o.ns of the nine nations, gifted disciples of Mt Lung fu and Sound of Heaven Temple, and also talented youngsters from several prestigious families—-There's also talents recruited through various special tests from the desert, prairie and other prefectures. Which of these young people would not have a chance to become strong? Which of them is not likely to become a famous person of Starry Sky? The future of the divine continent is in Starry Sky Academy. However, student doesn't understand why Dean only care about Li Muyang?”

The old man turned around, facing the pine and fir trees and the snowy-white ocean, as well as the more distant, unknown world.

“What do you see?” The little old man asked, pointing to the distance.

Yang Xiaohu looked carefully before he answered: “Nujiang.”

“What do you hear?”

“The anger of Nujiang.”

“Why would Nujiang be angry?”

“——–”

“It endured thousand years of unjust treatment, how would Nujiang not be angry?” The old man sighed heavily. “Besides Nujiang, I also see the deep swamp outside of Nujiang. Besides the wrath of Nujiang, I also hear the unwilling bellow of the demons and the bloodthirsty roar of the evil spirits. You all know about the legend of Starry Sky Academy, know that a dragon slayer immortal traveled here and because he liked the atmosphere, slashed off the top of the mountain with his sword and gathered the strength of the nine nations to build Starry Sky Academy on this cliff. Have you ever thought about whether the dragon slayer immortal really just slashed off Broken Mountain because he likes it here? The royal family of the nine nations really used all their riches to build an academy here because they were afraid of the dragon slayer immortal?”

“Dean—–” Yang Xiaohu looked aghast. What dean whispered was the same as lifting open the world's real and the most frightening page.

This world, it really is not as it's written in the history books.
