C50 The Sorrow of the Bamboo
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "So, if I want to break through to a higher realm, I have to find a way outside."
Zhu Ziqiao urgently said, "But... little thief, if even Dongzhou College can't do anything about it... Then where can you go? Moreover, the affinity of spiritual energy might only test a person's potential. It might not be absolute. No matter how extraordinary a genius was, if he did not work hard in his cultivation... He would only be an ordinary person. As for the Cultivating Warrior with ordinary talent, if he worked hard in his cultivation... It's not like there won't be any achievements..."
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Little girl, there's the cultivation technique you taught me to suppress my realm. It's enough for me to cultivate to the Core Sea Stage. As for the cultivation technique and combat skills, I have them all. If I stay in Dongzhou College, I will be restricted instead. "
He knew very well that even if Zhu Ziqiao went to beg Shui Hui to let him join Dongzhou College as an alchemist, alchemists who were able to enter the academy were respected and respected. There were only a few of them, but as the number one academy in the Dongzhou, there was no shortage of alchemists in the Dongzhou College.
Of course, if Lin Cheng fully displayed his skill in alchemy, he would definitely be valued by Dongzhou College, but that would not necessarily be a good thing for him.
Lin Cheng had never forgotten the lesson of being coveted when concocting the Purification Divine Pill in his past life.
Furthermore, Shui Hui would never believe that he was an alchemist. Just his age alone was not enough to convince people, especially Shui Hui, a student elder who thought highly of herself.
Furthermore, even if he was really an alchemist, Shui Hui would definitely not let him and Zhu Ziqiao walk together.
And to Lin Cheng, there was also the most important reason that made him have to leave - Blue Fire!
He had to find the Blue Fire!
As long as he could refine the Blue Fire, his skill in alchemy would improve by leaps and bounds. These were things that the Dongzhou College would never give him.
"Little thief, if you don't stay, where do you plan to go?" Zhu Ziqiao asked.
"I plan to go to Boundless Forest first."
Lin Cheng said, "There are a lot of Heaven-earth Treasure in Boundless Forest. It is an excellent place for tough-training, and it is not very far from Dongzhou College. I can come back to find you once in a while."
Zhu Ziqiao bit her lips, feeling reluctant to part with him.
Although she had not been with Lin Cheng for a long time, she had only been with him for a few months. Moreover, the two of them had been enemies from the beginning. However... After being together for the past few months, the two of them had developed a trace of affection. Now that Lin Cheng was suddenly about to leave, Zhu Ziqiao felt a little disappointed in her heart.
"Then I will go with you!"
Zhu Ziqiao suddenly said, "Little thief, do you dare to bring me around like before?"
Lin Cheng was slightly startled. Seeing Zhu Ziqiao's beautiful face and her beautiful eyes that carried a trace of love, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
In the end, Lin Cheng shook his head and refused, "Little girl, if you come with me, it won't be so easy to improve your strength."
If he wanted to improve Zhu Ziqiao's strength, it would be extremely easy for him. He had countless kinds of pill that could help Zhu Ziqiao improve her Cultivation Level rapidly. However... This kind of strength that was forcefully used to increase one's strength was not stable at all. It was like duckweed without roots. The higher the Cultivation Level was, the easier it was for problems to arise.
Therefore, Lin Cheng would not give this method to Zhu Ziqiao to use.
If he did not use the pill, he would not be able to give Zhu Ziqiao too much guidance in terms of cultivation. Even the cultivation technique to suppress one's realm was taught to him by Zhu Ziqiao.
Therefore, if Zhu Ziqiao followed him, her strength would increase very slowly in a very long time.
Zhu Ziqiao could not help but be silent.
After a moment, her eyes turned slightly red as she bit her lips and asked, "Little thief, will you blame me if I don't follow you?"
Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment before he smiled, "Little girl, although you didn't say why you were in such a hurry to increase your strength. ___ was stunned for a moment before he smiled, Little girl, although you didn't say why you were in a hurry to increase your strength, I can tell that this is extremely important to you... Besides, if you don't follow me, it means that I am missing a burden. It's too late for me to be happy, how can I blame you?!"
"Hateful little thief, detestable!"
Zhu Ziqiao instantly glared at him unhappily, but her heart was somewhat sad. She could naturally tell that Lin Cheng was actually saying this on purpose to comfort her, "Little thief. Then you..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a voice.
" Junior Sister Zhu, Seventh Elder called you. " She saw a girl standing not far away shouting.
"Master called me?"
Zhu Ziqiao immediately looked towards a building in the distance and saw a woman standing by the railing of the building, looking over.
Lin Cheng followed Zhu Ziqiao's gaze and also saw this person. Although they were very far away, he could still recognize this woman with a glance. This woman was Zhu Ziqiao's master, Shui Hui.
Lin Cheng even had a palpitating feeling. He could not help but feel a chill in his heart. This was obviously Shui Hui seeing him and Zhu Ziqiao. Her heart was filled with killing intent and her desire to kill him had become even stronger.
"Little girl, hurry up and go back. I hope that the next time we meet, your Cultivation Level has already surpassed mine." Lin Cheng said with a smile.
"Hmph!"
Zhu Ziqiao snorted disdainfully and said, "Arrogant little thief, my Cultivation Level is already higher than yours. If you didn't lie to me that you consumed poison and delayed me for a few months... I would have broken through to the Chakra Stage a long time ago. "
Thinking back to when the two of them first met, the pill that gave her to nourish her meridians and lied to her that it was poison, Zhu Ziqiao couldn't help but open her small canine teeth.
Lin Cheng laughed, "Then the next time we meet, if you still can't beat me, then I will spank your butt!"
Zhu Ziqiao's face immediately turned red and she spat, "Shameless thief!"
"Junior Sister Zhu!"
Not far away, the girl saw that Zhu Ziqiao did not move and shouted again.
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Go back. Don't let your master wait too long."
Zhu Ziqiao bit her lips and there was an unconcealable reluctance in her eyes. She nodded slightly.
"Oh right."
Suddenly, Lin Cheng seemed to have thought of something. He quickly took two steps forward and came in front of Zhu Ziqiao. He lowered his voice and said, "Little girl, do you remember that we went to the Boundless Forest before we went to the Yongan City? I will leave some things at our last resting place. It should be helpful for your cultivation. After I leave, you can go and get them back. "
Zhu Ziqiao pursed her lips and did not say anything.
"There is one other thing. Lu Yuanshan's daughter, Lu Yiwen, is also in Dongzhou College. I have seen her yesterday." Lin Cheng quickly told her about his meeting with Lu Yiwen, "She will know sooner or later. Her father's death might be related to the Zhu and Zhu families. You have to be careful. "
Zhu Ziqiao was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Go quickly. I should leave too."

From the corner of his eyes, he saw Shui Hui standing at the handrail of the building in the distance. That kind of palpitating feeling was even more intense. He knew that he should leave.
"Little thief..."
Zhu Ziqiao's eyes turned red. She saw Lin Cheng smiling at her before turning around and leaving.
She bit her lips as she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Little thief, I really want to go with you, but I need to increase my strength. I need to verify whether my biological parents were killed by the Zhu family..."
Zhu Ziqiao's eyes were filled with sorrow.
Lin Cheng left the inner courtyard once more, and then he sped up his footsteps and once again blended into the crowd of spectators at the outer court exam site.
The reason why he was able to find Zhu Ziqiao previously was because after Zhu Ziqiao became her master, Lin Cheng did not leave. He only secretly watched her until she entered the building before he left.
Hence, when he was followed by that servant, he immediately returned to the inner court. Because he knew that he had to leave. Before leaving, he wanted to see Zhu Ziqiao once. Only in this way could Zhu Ziqiao cultivate peacefully in Dongzhou College.
And now, Lin Cheng knew that it was time for him to escape.
As expected!
When Lin Cheng arrived at the outer court, he immediately saw a few people dressed like servants walking around the academy's main entrance. Their gazes swept in all directions from time to time, and among them was the servant who had followed him previously.
Lin Cheng's heart couldn't help but sink. He knew that this was going to be troublesome.
The walls of Dongzhou College were very high, and there were even people patrolling. He wasn't familiar with the terrain, so it was virtually impossible for him to silently climb over the walls.
The only way was through the main door!
However, if he were to walk out of the main entrance at this moment, he would immediately be targeted by those servants.
Lin Cheng quietly retreated. He decided to think of another way.
"Lin Cheng!"
Just as Lin Cheng was about to return, a voice suddenly sounded. He turned his head to look and found it was Lu Yiwen.
At this moment, Lu Yiwen's face was still a little pale. There was a touch of sadness in her eyes, but she forced a smile. "Lin Cheng, you haven't left yet? I thought you had already left the academy."
"Senior sister Lu?"
Lin Cheng was slightly stunned. He secretly raised his vigilance and smiled, "I heard that there are a few geniuses who have joined Dongzhou College this year. There is also the ceremony of apprenticeship, so I stayed to take a look. I was just about to leave..."
Lu Yiwen suddenly understood and said, "So that's how it is. I also need to go out for a while. We can go together."
Lin Cheng was just about to say something when she said, "Actually, I still have some things about my father that I want to know about. Junior Brother Lin, is it convenient for you?"
"Senior sister Lu, to be honest, I unintentionally had a grudge with someone before. There are people guarding the door now. Once I go out... They will definitely attack me, so I'm afraid I won't be able to travel with Senior Sister. " Lin Cheng said with a bitter smile.
"Oh?"
Lu Yiwen was a little surprised, but then she said without a care, "It's fine. Junior Brother Lin, don't worry. No matter who you have a grudge with, no one in the academy would dare to hurt a hair of yours."
Lin Cheng heard that her words were filled with pride as a student of Dongzhou College. He couldn't help but think, I have offended the people of Dongzhou College, and they are the elders of the academy.
He was just about to use some excuse to cover up Lu Yiwen when he suddenly saw a few servants at the door coming towards him. They had obviously noticed him.
