Chapter 232: Chapter 204: Kidnapping the Superb Sister, Sikong You!_2
“You didn’t receive an invitation from the Nine Great Divine Provinces Academy?”
As a rare professional with a silver talent, it stands to reason that teachers from the Nine Great Divine Provinces Academy would not be blind enough to not send an invitation.
And yet, now that the Nine Great Divine Provinces Academy had all started their terms, this person hadn’t enrolled, not even attending university, but instead had joined a heretical sect.
Zi Liyuan really wanted to ask what the recruitment office of the Nine Great Divine Provinces Academy was doing, as well as those subordinate institutions. How could they all collectively turn a blind eye to such top-notch talent?
“I, I did receive three invitations from various Shenzhou academies.”
The timid Sikong You, on the verge of tears but not daring to show it, simply bowed his head, doing his best to avoid Zi Liyuan’s cold and murderous gaze.
“Why didn’t you go?”
Having received the invitations but not reporting to the academies, Zi Liyuan couldn’t understand this course of action either.
“I, I don’t have the money to buy a plane ticket.”

Sikong You: o(╥﹏╥)o…
Zi Liyuan: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
“Don’t you know how to get a loan from official institutions? Hasn’t anyone invested or sponsored you?”
This answer was truly unexpected, causing Zi Liyuan’s brows to furrow even more, his Spirit firmly locked onto Sikong You.
“I’m an orphan, I’m afraid of pain, I don’t like fighting, and I was only level 5 when I took the college entrance examination…”
Sikong You spoke in a tearful tone, especially upon seeing the frown on the face of the menacing figure in front of her, her heart filled with even greater fear.
Quite a strong set of reasons indeed. Blessed with a rare profession and powerful talent, yet she was fragile as porcelain.
No wonder no one would invest in her, and the officials hadn’t offered much help either.
As for the three academies that sent invitations, that made even more sense. They aimed to cultivate all sorts of talent, especially rare combat professionals.
You’re afraid of pain and don’t even dare to level up, what’s there to cultivate, really!
By the same logic, those secondary academies wouldn’t recruit someone who couldn’t stand firm on their own.
As for her current level of 20, it’s likely she was coerced by members of the heretical sect and then had others lead her to level up.
“Sign this Boundary Sea Contract and from now on become my servant, or else…”
With a cold laugh and a murderous look in his eyes, Zi Liyuan didn’t hesitate to produce an extremely harsh servitude contract, the conditions of which were all massively in his favor.
This kind of coercion into servitude is strictly forbidden in the Great Xia Empire and even considered a legal offense.
However, when dealing with members of heretical sects, the law can become exceptionally flexible, and moral standards wavering and inconsistent.
After all, Lord Zi merely intended to rescue a little imperial flower bud who had been lured into a heretical sect and led astray.
“Wuu wuu… as long as you don’t kill me, little You is willing to become your servant, wuu wuu…”
(╥╯^╰╥)…
A certain innocent girl, scared to the point of resembling a startled bird, didn’t even dare to properly look at the contract terms before pressing her handprint and signing the Boundary Sea Contract with her Soul Imprint.
“Very well, follow me.”
Pleased, Zi Liyuan nodded, patted the foolish tuft of hair on Sikong You’s head, and then turned to leave.
The slaughter on the other side had ended, the higher-ups of the heretical sect were all cleanly slashed to death, to the point of being scattered to the winds.
As for the remaining one hundred and twenty little skirmishers and the information obtained, those would all be handed over to the military later.
The undead army was directly disbanded, banished back to the Netherworld plane, and most of the undead BOSSes were collected into their respective undead spaces.
Zi Liyuan, carrying Sikong You, exited through the broken hole at the center of the underground level; then, holding the abducted ignorant girl, he hopped onto the neck of an old tortoise and headed towards the exit of the Iron Fist Fighting Club.
As he stepped out the door, a military officer wearing dark green uniform with the rank of Major appeared before him.
“I am Major Liu Li from the Boundary Mist City military. I’ve come specially to assist with the case of the heretical sect’s stronghold.”
With a “snap,” he saluted and said with a solemn face.
“Thank you for rushing over, Major Liu. The heretics inside the Iron Fist Gym will be handed over to you for disposal. Here is some of the information obtained from their confessions.”
After handing over the newly acquired information, Zi Liyuan, holding Sikong You and riding on the old turtle, left for the outskirts of the city.
Major Liu Li watched Zi Liyuan leave, without asking any questions even though he held a girl in his arms.
He had simply received orders from above, tasking him to cooperate with Zi Liyuan’s operation and to cover his tracks afterward.
It was not worth starting a conflict over a heretic who was being taken away.
Immediately, he led a team of five hundred people into the Iron Fist Gym.
Running all the way from the wilderness, the old turtle, relying on its massive size and the presence of an Epic Boss, forcibly kept any monsters from daring to block the road and cause trouble.
Returning to the Imperial Capital, he went straight back to the North City District villa.
Upon opening the door and entering the villa, Zi Liyuan saw the Fan Family Four Sisters sitting on the living room sofa watching dramas.
They exchanged looks, especially the Fan sisters, whose faces instantly changed upon seeing the girl in Lord Zi’s arms.
“Husband, where did you abduct this little girl from?”
“This wouldn’t be another sister you’ve found for us, would it?”
“Husband really is someone who tires of the old and loves the new.”
“Men really are like big trotters, eating from their bowl while eyeing the pot, and still thinking about what’s in the market…”
In unison, one after another, like a seamless chain, the Fan sisters began their various sarcastic remarks.
“Enough, cut the sarcasm. This is Sikong You, and she will be your sister from now on. Go pack your things now, pack up the lab too. You’re coming with me to the Dragon Academy.”
Tired of dealing with the four sisters, Zi Liyuan put down Sikong You in his arms and initiated a trade with her, dumping a large pile of Level 20 equipment and items she could use into her possession.
“Rest in the living room, and wait to go with us to the Dragon Academy in a bit.”
After giving brief instructions, Zi Liyuan returned to his own room, packed up all his belongings and took them away, then headed to the experimental laboratory in the basement.
At this moment, the Fan Family Four Sisters were busy packing their things, with experimental equipment being packaged and all research materials sorted and filed to take with them…
Working together in a bustle, by the time everything was packed, several hours had passed.
Afterward, they had something to eat, then headed non-stop towards Fortunate Heaven and Earth where the Dragon Academy was located.
As a top scholar, Zi Liyuan effortlessly led the Fan sisters and Sikong You, a party of five, to his Zhuangyuan Manor.
“Pick a room to your liking. As for the experimental gear and such, you can move directly to the underground lab. Rest up in the manor for now; I’ll go sort out your Identity Jades.”
Since they were not students of the Dragon Academy, they needed temporary Identity Jades to reside within the academy.
Obtaining these Identity Jades wasn’t difficult. All that was needed was for Zi Liyuan to use his own Guiding Jade at the logistics department and spend a bit of Contribution Value to obtain a temporary Identity Jade, which he would then bind to the identities of the Fan sisters and Sikong You.
Regarding expenses in the Dragon Academy, once they had their Identity Jades, all consumption would be deducted from Zi Liyuan’s Guiding Jade.
An Identity Jade cost 100 Contribution Value. He exchanged five at once, registering the identity information of the Fan sisters and Sikong You.
Then, Zi Liyuan charged each Identity Jade with 1,000 Contribution Value points, which he left for their everyday dining expenses.
Having agreed to the military’s terms, he would certainly be away for a long time. Once his Guiding Jade left the Dragon Academy campus, it wasn’t certain that the associated secondary cards could deduct Contribution Value from it.
When Zi Liyuan handed over the Identity Jades to the women, he once again took out his own Guiding Jade, opened the contact list within, and located the student ID of the senior named Cai Cheng.
With his Contribution Value pocket almost bottomed out, it was time to visit the second-year seniors to seek some goodwill.
So, the guide party member Senior Cai Cheng is summoned…
