Chapter 261 (2/2)

Suddenly, she felt his arm move a little, and she immediately reacted. To think that she had been hugging onto his arm all this time… A flush of red quickly appeared on her face. She then took two steps back and said, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

However, when she lifted her head once again, Fang Xingjian was already gone.

Another maid came out and said to her with an evil grin, “Little Ru [1], who was that earlier? He’s so handsome!”

Now that Fang Xingjian had completed the second transition, it was as though he had been reborn as a brand new person. With the addition of the one year he spent cultivating during his first transition, his disposition had improved. He was now like a drawn sharp sword, and with the great transformation to his bones and muscles, he was very good looking.

Hearing her companion’s teasing, Little Ru lowered her head and said, “He’s Lord Fang Xingjian.”

“Huh? He’s that Fang Xingjian? Oh, my god, why is he so good-looking?” The maid said with her mouth agape. “So young, so good-looking… and he is even a Conferred Knight! Sigh, if only he’s willing to marry me…”

Little Ru covered her mouth and laughed, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Nonsense?” That maid pat Little Ru on the shoulder and said, “Hmmm, who was the one acting so lasciviously early? You were grabbing onto his arm, totally unwilling to let go… What a little vixen…”

Little Ru was clearly used to the jokes the other maid usually said, so she was not too concerned. She simply laughed and retorted, “You… you’re the one who is a vixen…”

As the two of them joked around, Fang Xingjian had already entered the three-story Administration Building and went to the Superintendent’s office on the third floor.

The Regional Academy’s Superintendent was in charge various things, including: logistics; food; hygiene; maintenance of buildings and the plants; as well as rearing of ferocious beasts.

Although these were all miscellaneous work, since they all involved Conferred Knights, it was a job everyone would fight for. The person in charge would also be responsible for supervising thousands of people, such as: the maids; servants; chefs; and gardeners

That was right. Although there were less than a hundred teachers and students altogether in the entire academy, there were a few thousand servants serving them.

The only way they could assure that every corner in the entire academy could be cleaned at least three times daily and each meal would be filled with delicacies… was by having this many servants. No matter what the Conferred Knights asked for, the requests would be delivered within half an hour.

There might not be something called ‘service spirit’ in Miracle World, but all the servants would serve the Conferred Knights as if they were their masters. Moreover, they would provide greater service than anyone in the service industry on Earth.

When Fang Xingjian entered the Superintendent’s office, he saw an elderly man sitting behind the office desk. Beside him, there was a large metal box which was around the height of a human.

Seeing that Fang Xingjian had arrived, the old man let out a deep breath and said, “You’re finally here. With this thing in my office everyday, I didn’t even dare to sleep and even needed to get someone to keep watch when I go to the washroom.”

The old man was the Regional Academy’s Superintendent, a Knight in his sixties. He no longer had his mind on advancing his skills and had been working diligently and conscientiously on his job.

However, a couple of days ago, two Conferred Knights sent over the rewards for the Regional Selection. One of them was the level 29 armor, a Superior Divine Armor, which was meant for Fang Xingjian.

What kind of precious item was this? It was worth a fortune.

Logically, it was extremely safe in the Regional Academy. However, the Superintendent still had not been at ease while he guarded this armor.

Unfortunately, Fang Xingjian had been immersed in his training, and no one had been able to call him out. Therefore, the Superintendent could only stay in his office everyday, guarding the big metal box next to him.

How torturing had this been? He had needed to restrain his curiosity toward the Divine Weapon, and yet, he had been constantly worried that someone would have their eyes on it. The Superintendent had been rather afraid the Divine Weapon would be lost while in his possession.

So, he had requested for Governor Devitt to send Conferred Knights to guard the item for a number of times. However, Governor Devitt was very assured by the Regional Academy’s security and had not given his approval.

It just showed how much pressure there had been for such a precious treasure to be guarded by a mere Knight, like him, alone.
