"Could it be that... he is the same Ye Ling from a year ago who successfully skipped a grade not long after entering the academy and won the first place in the second grade of the academy competition?!"
At this moment, an idea flashed in the guard's mind.
She suddenly remembered many legends from a year ago.
These legends are all about Ye Ling, the first male student of Suzaku Academy, the fastest student in history, who is contracted to be a student of the legendary Phoenix...
All kinds of legends come from one person.
And this person is the only male student at Suzaku Academy, Ye Ling!
However, because Ye Ling suddenly disappeared a year ago, things about Ye Ling gradually became legends and faded out of people's sight.
A year ago, the guard had not worked here yet, so he did not know Ye Ling at all.
I've only heard of the name Ye Ling occasionally, on the Internet, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
"Oh my God! Ye Ling, who has so many legends, suddenly came back?! And I even saw it with my own eyes!"
The guard stared at the retreating figures of Ye Ling and others, his eyes full of surprise.
She didn't expect that after a year, the legendary man would come back.
"After one year, how far has Ye Ling... grown?"
The guard had this question in his mind.
Ye Ling, who successfully entered the academy, temporarily separated from Shen Mengyao and others, and immediately went to where Dean Suzaku was.
They were still in awe of Zhuque, Shen Mengyao and others, so they naturally did not dare to disturb them at this time.
Therefore, we could only part ways with Ye Ling for a short time.
…
When I arrived at the villa where Dean Suzaku worked independently, it was still no different from the one I saw a year ago. It was still as luxurious.
According to past memories, I went directly to the hall and saw the secretary working at a desk outside the dean's office.
Naturally, the secretary also noticed Ye Ling. When he saw Ye Ling, the secretary's face suddenly lit up with joy.
The secretary had already met Ye Ling a year ago, so he was not surprised to see Ye Ling.
She stood up and walked over with a kind smile on her face.
"Ye Ling, welcome back. The dean has been waiting for a long time. The dean has already said that as long as you come here, you can go in directly."
When he said this, the secretary glanced at Ye Ling with envy.
You must know that no matter who it is, Dean Suzaku has never received such treatment.
Anyone who wants to enter Dean Suzaku's office must obtain Dean Suzaku's permission.
As a secretary, if she wants to enter the office, she must knock on the door in advance and ask for permission before she can enter.
"Okay, thank you."
Ye Ling smiled and nodded.
Ye Ling was not surprised at all that Dean Zhuque knew about his return.
After all, Ah Qidu had already come to Thorn Ridge to pick him up, and he was ordered by the Lord of Shengyao City.
Among the people I know, the only one who can make Shengyao City take the initiative is probably Dean Suzaku.
Therefore, Dean Suzaku knew that it would be an easy thing for him to come back.
And he may also know that he did not report back to the college immediately after returning, but went to have a meal first.
"Click!"
After gently pushing the door open, Ye Ling naturally noticed Suzaku sitting at his desk.
It's still the same golden mask, and it's impossible to see what Dean Suzaku's expression looks like.
As for what kind of face is underneath the mask, no one knows.
"Are you willing to come back?"
Before Ye Ling could open his mouth, he heard Dean Suzaku suddenly say.
Upon hearing this sudden question, Ye Ling certainly knew what Dean Suzaku's words meant.
After he came back, he didn't report to the dean as soon as possible. Instead, he went to have a feast to welcome the wind and cleanse the dust. Instead, he left dean Suzaku alone here.
According to the situation, this should be considered disrespectful.
After coughing twice, Ye Ling quickly explained.
"Ahem! Dean, I just stepped off the airship, and they all came, saying they wanted to help me pick up the wind and wash away the dust. There was no other way, so I went first.
I happened to have to go to Tianyu Pavilion to pick up something, so I came back late.
But I promise, after finishing my meal and getting my things, I rushed over as soon as possible without stopping at all."
As expected, he was worthy of being the dean, and every move he made was completely expected by the dean.
I don’t know how the dean knew. Did Teacher Hong tell her?
Ye Ling couldn't help but secretly guess.
Of course, Ye Ling still couldn't find the real reason as to how the dean knew what he had done.
Dean Suzaku did not continue to struggle with this issue. He nodded and moved on to another topic.
"Well, okay, since you are back, that's okay. How far have you grown now after a year?"
What she is now concerned about is whether Ye Ling has grown in this year.
Being trapped in one place is likely to result in Ye Ling's strength not being improved, or improving very slowly.
If that was the case, Dean Zhuque thought it was necessary for him to give additional training to Ye Ling himself.
It makes up for Ye Ling's lack of improvement in strength over the past year.
But Ye Ling obviously still didn't know what Dean Suzaku was thinking.
He answered the question that Dean Suzaku just asked very honestly.
"Dean, I am now a sixth-level spirit master. My strength has improved over the past year, but I have not fallen behind at all."
As he spoke, Ye Ling patted his chest proudly.
This is indeed a fact. In one year, he was able to break through from the fourth level to the sixth level, which is something that is unheard of in the Federation.
Improving one level in one year can be said to be very powerful.
Moreover, this also refers to before the sixth level.
If you reach the sixth level, starting from the seventh level, it may take a long time to advance to the next level.
At this stage, not only does the spiritual pet itself need to have high growth potential, but it also needs to have a lot of rich combat experience.
Of course, for Ye Ling, all this is in vain.
Mainly for his spiritual pets, all of them can be broken through by gaining experience points, but the speed of gaining experience points will be slower the further you go.
But even so, compared to others, the speed of improvement is still very fast.
As expected, Suzaku, who had been mentally prepared, suddenly felt a little shocked.
Originally, Suzaku had already thought about how to train Ye Ling properly.
Good guy!
Now it seems that there is no need at all.
Ye Ling's growth rate is much faster than what he expected.
"You...are not kidding me?"
The doubtful Suzaku asked with some disbelief.
The main reason is that the breakthrough speed is indeed a bit fast, it can even be said to be a bit incredible.
Although she knew that Ye Ling was an unprecedented genius, she never thought that under restrictions, Ye Ling could improve so quickly.
This was completely different from her own expectations.
Ye Ling shrugged helplessly and said very firmly.
"Dean, I am very serious. How could I possibly joke with you about this kind of thing?"
"..."
Suzaku was decisively silent.
It seemed that I had underestimated this student Ye Ling. He was indeed the one chosen by Phoenix.
At this moment, when Zhuque looked at Ye Ling, she was suddenly startled, as if she had noticed something.
"Ye Ling, has your divine bird Phoenix completed its evolution?"
At this moment, Suzaku suddenly asked a question that shocked Ye Ling.
With a face full of shock, Ye Ling never expected that the dean would actually know that his Feng Jiu had completed his evolution.
Speaking of which, it seems that I have never seen Dean Suzaku with my true eyes, and I don't know what kind of strength she has.
Just when Ye Ling was about to use the Eye of Reality, Suzaku seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp.
Although he couldn't see the expression of Dean Suzaku, Ye Ling could clearly see the red light that flashed in Dean Suzaku's eyes just now.
After seeing the dean's eyes, Ye Ling quickly lowered his head.
Ye Ling didn't know why, but he suddenly lowered his head, completely unable to look directly into Dean Suzaku's eyes.
Ye Ling, who originally planned to use the Eye of True ability, had no choice but to give up.
Worthy of being the most powerful group of spirit masters in the federation, Suzaku is definitely not as simple as imagined.
In terms of perception, it can be said to be very terrifying.
Ye Ling just wanted to use the Eye of Truth to detect Suzaku, but he didn't expect it to be noticed.
As the person involved, Suzaku was also murmuring in his heart.
Because just now, she suddenly felt like she was being investigated, and she suddenly became wary.
She and Ye Ling were the only ones in this office now, which meant that it was Ye Ling who was spying on her just now.
But then I thought about it, and felt that something was wrong. Ye Ling was only a sixth-level spirit master at best, and it was impossible to spy on him.
Maybe it's my own misunderstanding.
Dean Suzaku can only attribute the feeling just now to his own illusion. It may be an illusion caused by being too nervous.
Therefore, Dean Suzaku didn't take it to heart, and the matter was just revealed.
"Ye Ling, you haven't answered my question yet. Has your divine bird Phoenix completed its evolution?"
Putting behind him the illusion he just thought he had, Dean Suzaku asked again.
Hearing this, Ye Ling also knew that Dean Suzaku must have seen something. As for how he saw it, he didn't know.
After what had happened just now, it was impossible for him to continue to explore the true situation of Suzaku.
