Chapter 340: Fight
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If it was in the past, Uncle Jiang would definitely not allow a rank four arcanist to join the Ice Feather Institute through his connections.
But the current situation was too special, so Uncle Jiang quickly agreed.
“If Brother Xu is really willing to join the Ice Feather Institute, that would be great.”
Uncle Jiang smiled. “I am willing to introduce you to the Ice Feather Institute.”
Uncle Jiang’s words not only gave Xu Ning an answer, but also helped him make up his own mind. He decided he would take Lu Wang back to the Ice Feather Institute and fight against Yin Qingleng.
“Thank you, Brother Jiang!”
Xu Ning cupped his fists and thanked him.
In any case, he could be considered to have joined a relatively strong arcanist institution.
Of course, Xu Ning knew very well that if he entered the Ice Feather Institute this way, he would have to stand on Lu Wang’s side. After returning to the Ice Feather Institute, he would definitely be on the opposite side of Yin Qingleng.
However, Xu Ning was already mentally prepared for this.
“Brother Jiang, I have some healing medicine here, take it first.”
Xu Ning took out a healing medicine from the cloth bag he carried and handed it to Uncle Jiang.
“Thank you.”
Uncle Jiang took it and swallowed the healing medicine with the help of Lu Wang.
The arcane medicine they carried with them had been lost during their escape.
After that, Xu Ning searched the bodies of the pursuers.
Perhaps because they frequently carried out missions outside, they did not carry a lot of resources with them, so Xu Ning did not gain much.
When Xu Ning counted the spoils of war, Uncle Jiang and Lu Wang just watched from the side without saying anything.
“By the way, Brother Jiang…”
After putting away the useful resources he gathered, Xu Ning said to Uncle Jiang, “I have a companion who is a rank two arcanist. Can I bring her to the Ice Feather Institute and make her a disciple of the institute?”
Xu Ning obviously wouldn’t forget about Guan Yue.
“Of course.”
Uncle Jiang had no reason to object.
“Thank you.”
Xu Ning said, “Brother Jiang, you rest for a while. I will bring my friend here.”
“Okay.”
Uncle Jiang responded.
When Xu Ning finally went away to find Guan Yue, Lu Wang finally couldn’t help but ask.
“Uncle Jiang, is Xu Ning trustworthy?”
Lu Wang was an extremely optimistic person, but after his grandfather suddenly died and he was chased by Yin Qingleng’s people, Lu Wang became very sensitive.
“Hard to say.”
Uncle Jiang’s eyes were deep. “That person’s identity is unclear but his aptitude is ridiculously high. It is difficult to figure him out. However, it is likely that with him on our side, after returning to the Ice Feather Institute, our chances of fighting against Yin Qingleng will increase.”
“Moreover, he just saved our lives. With this in mind, it’s fine to trust him for the time being.”
“Mmm…”
Lu Wang nodded and fell into deep thoughts.
“Uncle Jiang, how are your injuries?”
Lu Wang asked again.
“It’s stabilized.”
Uncle Jiang said, “The healing medicine Xu Ning gave me just now was extremely effective. I have never seen such a powerful arcane medicine. Generally speaking, it is unlikely for a lone arcanist to come into contact with high-level resources. For him to have such an arcane medicine and be willing to give it to me, I suspect that it might have been personally concocted by him.”
“Is that so…”
After Uncle Jiang said this, Lu Wang felt that Xu Ning was amazing.
“Also, Uncle Jiang…”
Lu Wang asked again, “After recommending Xu Ning to the Ice Feather Institute, what status should we give him?”
“I will find a way to make him an instructor.”
Uncle Jiang seemed to have a plan.
“Become an instructor?”
Lu Wang was taken aback. “Isn’t that too difficult? Although he is strong, he is still an outsider…”
“Now is not the time to think about that…”
Uncle Jiang’s expression was a little serious. “Even if you return to the Ice Feather Institute safely, Yin Qingleng will definitely hold his position and find an excuse to not let you inherit the position of the institute head. At this time, there will definitely be many open and hidden conflicts between the two sides. With the help from the supporters of the Old Institute Head, although there is a high probability that we will not be able to immediately take back the position of institute head, it should not be difficult for Xu Ning to obtain the status of an instructor…”
“Once Xu Ning becomes an instructor, the strength of our faction will increase again…”
“Understood…”
Lu Wang nodded.
At the same time, he also understood that after returning to the Ice Feather Institute, he would face a very difficult battle.
…
Two days later.
“We’re at the Ice Feather Institute!”
Xu Ning and the others finally arrived at the entrance of the Ice Feather Institute.
The Ice Feather Institute was similar to the Black Willow Institute. It was also a place where few people lived.
Generally speaking, the places where arcanists lived were mostly quiet and far away from people.
Looking at the entrance of the Ice Feather Institute, Lu Wang seemed very excited.
He was finally back after an arduous journey.
At this moment, Lu Wang’s eyes were sharp.
He must get his revenge for Yin Qingleng’s assassination attempt on him.
Moreover, Lu Wang had another doubt.
He suspected that his grandfather’s death was related to Yin Qingleng.
With doubt in his mind, hatred brewed in his heart.
“We are finally back…”
In Uncle Jiang’s eyes, besides happiness, there was also some bit of grief.
The relationship between him and the Old Institute Head was extremely deep.
“Brother Jiang, are we going in?”
Xu Ning asked.
Over the past two days, Xu Ning and Uncle Jiang had become more familiar with each other.
He had learned that Uncle Jiang’s name was Jiang Xu, and he enjoyed a great reputation in the Ice Feather Institute. Although he was not an instructor, he was a trusted subordinate of the Old Institute Head. He also had his own core circle in the Ice Feather Institute.
“Go in.”
Jiang Xu concealed the emotions in his eyes. His eyes were murky again, but there was a hint of murderous intent in them.
The four of them walked into the Ice Feather Institute.
At the same time.
Inside the Ice Feather Institute.
In a courtyard.
“What?! You mean Jiang Xu and Lu Wang are back?”
A feminine-looking middle-aged man looked at his subordinate in shock.
“Yes, Institute Head.”
The subordinate said, “They just returned to the Ice Feather Institute.”
“How did this happen!”
The middle-aged man slapped the wall, leaving a handprint.
This middle-aged man was naturally Yin Qingleng.
‘Could it be that the elites I sent out all encountered problems during their journey?’
Yin Qingleng’s expression was ugly.
He still didn’t know that all of his subordinates had been dealt with by Xu Ning.
‘Lu Wang is definitely going to fight with me for the position…’
Yin Qingleng pursed his lips and forced himself to calm down. “Moreover, if he returns to the Ice Feather Institute, I won’t be able to deal with him using force…”
After thinking for a long time, Yin Qingleng said to his subordinate, “Invite Instructor Gu here! Tell him that I have something to discuss!”
“Yes!”
The subordinate responded.
