Chapter 333 - Entering Black Willow Institute
Chapter 333: Entering Black Willow Institute
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was a dense forest next to the Black Willow Institute.
The trees in the dense forest were tall and straight, with branches and leaves extending continuously. Under these branches and leaves, the Black Willow Institute looked a little dim.
The gate of the Black Willow Institute was wide open, but not many people entered or exit. There were only a few guards at the gate.
These guards were wearing dark green uniforms, and their temperament was a little gloomy.
‘They are all mortals…’
Xu Ning noticed that the guards here did not come into contact with the power of the arcanists.
This made Xu Ning’s heart skip a beat.
This showed that even if he was not an arcanist, he could still work in the Black Willow Institute.
What Xu Ning wanted to do the most now was to enter an arcanist institution.
“Sir, we are here to deliver goods…”
Yao Feng squeezed out a smile and walked towards the guards.
One of the guards glanced at him and said coldly, “Show your certificate.”
“Here…”
Yao Feng quickly took out the certificate and handed it to the guard.
Although the guard’s attitude was extremely cold, Yao Feng did not dare to slight him at all.
“Mmm…”
The guard took the paper certificate from Yao Feng and glanced at it, then his expression softened.
“Wait a moment…”
The guard turned around and entered the Black Willow Institute.
Yao Feng, Xu Ning, and the others waited outside the Black Willow Institute.
After a while, the guard walked out with a young man.
The young man was wearing a dark green robe with the logo of the Black Willow Institute engraved on it.
‘An arcanist…’
Xu Ning felt a special aura coming from the young man.
His strength should be similar to the old man in the hat.
However, this person was much younger and obviously had greater potential.
“Where is it?”
The young man was quite arrogant. As soon as he walked out, he asked in a rushed tone.
“Sir, the goods are here.”
Yao Feng quickly brought the carriage containing the goods over.
The young man walked to the carriage, lifted the oil cloth covering the goods, and checked it.
“Mmm…”
After checking it, the young man nodded.
“This is the reward…”
The young man took out a bulging cloth bag from his sleeves and threw it to Yao Feng.
“Have someone bring these goods in.”
The young man flicked his sleeves.
When Yao Feng saw this, he wanted to go forward and hold the horse, but he was stopped by Xu Ning.
“I’ll do it.”
Xu Ning whispered in Yao Feng’s ear, “Brother Yao, go, don’t wait for me.”
“Huh?”
Yao Feng was taken aback.
He then realized what was going on. “Okay.”
“Brother Xu, thank you for this trip.”
Yao Feng thanked him sincerely.
Xu Ning patted him on the shoulder and walked into the Black Willow Institute with the young man.
“Let’s go!”
Yao Feng looked back at the Black Willow Institute once more and called the men around him.
“Big Brother, are we not waiting for Brother Xu?”
Du Xiao asked.
“Brother Xu told us to leave directly, so we don’t have to wait for him… He probably wants to stay in the Black Willow Institute…”
Yao Feng lowered his voice and explained.
Du Xiao and the others nodded silently at his words.
They could understand Xu Ning’s thoughts.
Xu Ning, a top swordsman, had obviously touched the limit of a mortal.
This kind of people often desired the power of arcanists more.
Therefore, they could understand why Xu Ning wanted to stay in the Black Willow Institute.
“I hope Brother Xu can get what he wants…”
Yao Feng sighed.
He knew very well that it was not easy to stay in the arcanist institution.
Even if he stayed behind, it was still extremely difficult to travel on the path of an arcanist as an ordinary person.
“Let’s go…”
With everything settled, Yao Feng and the others left the Black Willow Institute.
Xu Ning followed the young man through the Black Willow Institute and arrived at a separate courtyard.
After walking into the courtyard, Xu Ning glanced around and saw several people working in the courtyard.
‘Are these mortals responsible for serving this arcanist?’
Xu Ning thought to himself.
Duan Huiyao had mentioned this group of people in his memory crystal.
Some arcanists needed ordinary people to help them with chores because of their special cultivation path.
And the people in the courtyard in front of him were most likely like the said ordinary people.
“Okay, put the stuff down and you may go.”
After delivering the goods to the courtyard, the young man said.
He even didn’t look at Xu Ning and just went straight into the house.
“Sir.”
Hearing this, Xu Ning quickly stopped the young man.
The young man frowned with dissatisfaction.
“What is it?”
The young man stared at Xu Ning impatiently.
“Sir, can I stay here and do some chores?”
Xu Ning asked straightforwardly.
“Oh? You want to stay here?”
The young man sized up Xu Ning.
He also felt that Xu Ning was different from ordinary people.
However, he did not look at Xu Ning in a different light because of this. A mortal was a mortal. Without the power of an arcanist, one could not reach the limits of a mortal.
“Yes.”
Xu Ning responded.
“But we don’t recruit people easily here. If you want to enter the Black Willow Institute to be a servant, you have to pass the registration selection.”
The young man smiled and looked down at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was not disappointed by the answer of the young man.
After all, he heard a glimmer of greed in the young man’s tone.
“Sir…”
With that in mind, Xu Ning took out a cloth bag from his clothes.
This cloth bag was found on the body of the old man in the hat.
“This is…”
When the young man saw Xu Ning handing the bag to him, he took it.
He opened the bag and checked it, then his eyes lit up.
“This is not bad…”
The young man’s attitude suddenly eased. He put the cloth bag into his sleeve without a trace.
Xu Ning knew that his goal had been achieved.
“As long as Sir likes it.”
Xu Ning smiled.
“Mmm…”
The young man looked up, as if he was weighing something in his head.
After a long time, he said, “Alright, I can see that you really want to stay in the Black Willow Institute and be a servant. In this case, I will give you this opportunity.”
“Thank you, Sir.”
Xu Ning said.
He had officially come into contact with the arcanists of this world.
“However, being a servant is not an easy job.”
The young man said.
“I’m ready.”
Xu Ning responded.
“Okay.”
The young man said, “In the future, you will be an official servant in our institution. Your responsibility will be to listen to Master, Senior Sister, and me.”
“Yes…”
Xu Ning understood that the owner of this institution was not this young man, but his master. In addition, he learned that the young man had a senior sister.
“If you perform well, you will also have the opportunity to come into contact with the power of arcanism.”
The young man encouraged him.
