Chapter 725: Arriving at the Vermilion Bird Galaxy
“Enter the Vermilion Bird Institute to search for information?” Both the Ascending Moon Old Man and Yang Yi were baffled.
Naturally, both elders could see that Huang Xiaolong was concealing something from them, however, if Huang Xiaolong didn't wish to say, neither of them insisted to know the details.
Then again, it never occurred to either of them that Huang Xiaolong would be aiming for information related to the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire’s location.
Only Shi Xiaofei knew that Huang Xiaolong had obtained the Black Tortoise Divine Fire. Not even his own family was in the know.
And now, Huang Xiaolong chose not to tell the old man and Yang Yi. Everyone would find out, just not now, but after the Highgod Advancement Tournament.
Yang Yi grew quiet as she pondered before saying, “Although I am the Vermilion Bird Institute Principal’s Junior Sister, our relationship is not that close. That time, when I left the land of new moon with He Feifan, I was ambushed by people from the Vermilion Bird Institute. Later, it was your Master, the Ascending Moon Old Man, that came to my rescue. Moreover, when people from the Vermilion Bird Institute came for the Black Lotus, I killed one of their Grand Elders in anger, hence…”
Huang Xiaolong was confounded.
If this was how things were, then his method of entering the Vermilion Institute with Yang Yi’s help was out of the question.
A tiny frown creased Huang Xiaolong’s forehead.
He was unwilling to give up just like this.
Huang Xiaolong’s strong intuition convinced him that he would be able to find clues about the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire’s location just like he found information about the Black Tortoise Divine Fire from the Black Warrior Institute’s library.
A second later, his eyes lit up. In fact, Yang Yi’s help wasn’t a compulsory factor for him to enter the Vermilion Bird Institute.
With his true immortal force, he could change his appearance as he liked—both his height and body shape. As long as he changed his appearance to look like one of the Vermilion Bird Institute’s disciples, he could literally enter and leave the institute grounds anytime.
But, Huang Xiaolong was worried about leaving his family in Martial Spirit World while he was away.
Huang Xiaolong voiced his worry to the Ascending Moon Old Man. Hearing this, the old man waved his hand nonchalantly, “This old man has nothing to tend to these few years anyways, and life in the Huang Clan Manor is quite comfortable, so I’ll stay here. You don’t need to worry about Martial Spirit World. But brat, you really want to go to the Vermilion Bird Institute’s library? You better not run into any problems, otherwise it’ll trouble this old man to make a trip to the Vermilion Bird Institute!”
The Ascending Moon Old Man’s words were spoken out of concern.
Huang Xiaolong laughed, “I know, old man. I’m going to look up some information, not provoke trouble, don’t worry.”
With the Ascending Moon Old Man staying in the Huang Clan Manor, Huang Xiaolong’s worries were lifted. Since Yang Yi too did not have other matters, she also decided to stay in the Huang Clan Manor.
Though Yang Yi was unable to help Huang Xiaolong enter the Vermilion Institute, she was still the Institute Principal’s Junior Sister, and thus knew many of its secrets.
Therefore, before leaving, Huang Xiaolong tried to understand the Vermilion Institute’s situation, especially regarding its library.
Knowing that Huang Xiaolong wanted to enter the Vermilion Institute, it was granted that Shi Xiaofei would worry and be ill at ease, but she was aware that once Huang Xiaolong had decided to do something, he wouldn't change his decision. She could only remind him to be extra careful.
Watching Shi Xiaofei’s worrying for himself, Huang Xiaolong slightly chuckled, comforting “You need not worry, I’m just going to search for some information this time, nothing will happen. Moreover, have you forgotten that I have the Black Tortoise Divine Fire? Amongst the Vermilion Institute’s masters, only the Institute Principal, Vice Principal, and the two Protectors can harm me.”
Shi Xiaofei nodded. Remembering the Black Tortoise Divine Fire, her worry slightly diminished.
When they were at the Heavenly Mountain, even a perfection stage Tenth Order God Realm Black Dungeon Tarragon couldn’t harm Huang Xiaolong. At that time, Huang Xiaolong was still a peak late-Eighth Order God Realm, whereas now, he was already a peak late-Ninth Order God Realm.
