Chapter 166 Saving one person is one good deed

Baijiu watched the two smiling at each other and silently ate his meal.

After finishing their meal, the three checked out of their room, rented flying beasts in the border town, and headed towards the capital.

As the three headed towards the capital, Little Golden Tiger was also rushing towards them.

Seven days later, the two sides met up, and after Little Golden Tiger picked up the three of them, he turned around and went back.

"How is the Imperial Capital Academy doing?" Ling Yi asked, sitting on the back of the little golden tiger.

Lin Chengtian shook his head upon hearing this: "I don't know. I only know that when we left, the royal family was already gathering experts and had them move into the Imperial Academy. They wanted the things inside the Imperial Academy to take the experts away so that the experts could use this opportunity to rescue the students."

Ye Qingshuang frowned after hearing this: "If they can't handle it, they'll just be throwing their lives away in vain."

"Of course the royal family has considered this, but they can't just do nothing," Lin Chengtian said. "It's not just one or two people, it's hundreds. Even if they know there's danger, the royal family still has to send people to investigate. They can't just know there's danger and then ignore it. What would the families and people of the missing students think of the royal family?"

Other imperial families would not ignore such a situation, let alone the Tianxing Empire's imperial family.

Lin Chengtian said, "Some of the younger generation of the Tianxing royal family have gone missing, and those who haven't gone missing have also entered the academy as bait."

Ye Qingshuang frowned, then turned to Ling Yi: "Ling Yi, what do you think?"

Ling Yi said in a nonchalant tone, "You'll only know once you get to the capital."

Ye Qingshuang didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.

...

Seven days later, in the capital city of Tianxing.

During the two weeks that the group traveled back and forth, the situation in the empire became increasingly serious. Initially, it was based on cultivation level, but recently that has stopped. People of all cultivation levels could disappear.

The Imperial Academy had given its students a holiday earlier, and now even soldiers are not allowed to enter, for fear that they will disappear as soon as they enter. Currently, those who can enter the academy are all high-level cultivators.

Since the royal family and the academy didn't have that many experts, the families of the missing students sent their own experts to help find their children. At the same time, the Tianxing royal family offered generous rewards, inviting people with high cultivation levels to come and help. If anyone could rescue the students, they would receive cultivation techniques, weapons, spirit stones, and jewels. Moreover, someone from a different family could even be made a king!

Generally, those who are not of the same surname and are granted the title of king are those who have greatly contributed to the empire. This reward is quite high, and it is clear that the Tianxing Empire is very sincere.

Not only did the empire offer rewards, but the families of the missing students also received rewards, including gold and jewels.

The reward was extremely generous, but the more generous it was, the more dangerous it was. Neither the royal family nor the Imperial Academy could do anything about it. The experts who were attracted by the reward just looked on, and no one actually dared to accept it.

Although no one answered, many people waited in front of the reward notice every day, all watching to see who would be the one to take it down.

Ling Yi stood in front of the reward order, thinking about his own space. He had some money, but not much. However, if he accepted the reward order, he would have to save someone, which would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Ling Yi turned around and prepared to leave.

"Ling Yi!" Ye Qingshuang pulled him back and whispered in his ear, "With so many rewards, since we're going to go see what's going on anyway, why don't we accept them?"

Ling Yi replied indifferently, "Troublesome."

Ye Qingshuang instantly understood what she meant by "trouble": "We all have to go in. We can handle the rescue. We can get these things by helping out. It's not a bad deal."

Ling Yi thought of something and therefore remained silent.

Ye Qingshuang continued, "The higher-ups said that as long as we can save people, that's fine. They didn't ask us to save them all. We can do what we can, and save as many as we can. If you find it troublesome, we can save two as a token gesture."

Ling Yi still didn't answer. She asked Tian Yan, "If I save them, will it be considered a good deed?"

Three hundred and seventy people, it takes time to build up hatred, but if you do good deeds, five good deeds count as one unblocking point, and saving a life counts as one good deed, right?

Tianyan: [Calculation]

After receiving Tianyan's reply, Ling Yi did not immediately accept the challenge, but continued to ask, "Is saving them considered a good deed, or is saving one person considered a good deed?"

Hearing Ling Yi's question, Tian Yan smiled and said, "If I said saving them was a good thing, would you be angry?"

"No." Ling Yi answered very quickly. She would just beat him to a pulp the next time she saw him.

Even though Ling Yi answered that she wouldn't be angry, Tian Yan felt a chill for some reason and stopped teasing her: "Saving one person is one good deed."

She rarely chooses the path of doing good things, so how could he possibly dampen her enthusiasm?

After receiving Tianyan's affirmative answer, Ling Yi turned to look at Ye Qingshuang beside her: "I think what you said makes sense."

Ye Qingshuang: "Huh?"

Amid Ye Qingshuang's bewildered expression, Ling Yi stepped forward and removed the reward order.

"Ouch!"

Seeing Ling Yi tear down the reward notice, the onlookers were in an uproar: "Young lady, this is an imperial edict. Once you've taken it down, you can't go back on your word. You're just a seventh-level Spirit Master. Taking down this notice is no different from sending yourself to your death!"

"Yes, little girl, you can't handle this."

"Alright, you all stop talking." The soldier guarding the notice stepped forward and looked at Ling Yi: "Miss, once you've taken up the notice, you have to do the job. There's no going back."

“I know.” Ling Yi put away the reward order and looked at the soldier, saying, “Just take us there directly.”

Upon hearing this, the soldier said no more and led Ling Yi and the others out of the academy.

...

Outside the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Guard has set up a defensive position, leaving a space where the royal elders and their emperor have been working recently, so that they can be informed of the academy's situation as soon as possible.

However, all they had received during their time here was bad news, but today, before they received any bad news, they received some shocking news.

Someone has accepted the reward!

Upon learning of this, the emperor and his ministers immediately got up and went outside to wait for the soldiers to bring the person in.

The soldiers brought the people over in flying beasts. When they saw that the people who came were two young girls, two men, and a child, the ministers who had been looking forward to them all showed disappointment.

Can these five people really save lives?

As the ministers showed their disappointment, Emperor Tianxing remained calm as he looked at the five people and the small beast. His expression was solemn and his tone serious: "The imperial edict is not a game. Since you have accepted the challenge, it means you have taken on this mission, regardless of life or death."

“Your Majesty, we know,” Ye Qingshuang said. “We want to take on this mission.”

"Alright." The emperor didn't say much more: "Since you've accepted, I'll have someone take you in. As for the situation, you should have already heard about it, so I won't let them waste their breath on you. Once you enter the academy, you don't know when you'll disappear. What's more, the time each of you will disappear will be different, so you need to be prepared."
