Chapter 69 The Girl Being "Hunted"
Xu Shisan opened all nine letters, which were all written to him by Xia Keer.

As she said, there was nothing important in it, just some daily trivialities and the mumbling of a little girl.

In these nine letters, the words "think" and "miss" do not even appear, but between the lines, there is a sense of missing.

After reading the letter, Xu Shisan could not get rid of that lively and active figure in his mind.

It seems that it is time to go back and see that little girl.

Xia Ke'er also said many times in the envelope, asking Xu Shisan to go back to see her after the competition.

Xu Shisan had also written a letter to her to make this promise before. If that was the case, then Xu Shisan would naturally go.

There was no time to lose, so Xu Shisan put away the nine letters, packed up his belongings, and went to look for Xia Keer.

Of course, before going to find her, Xu Shisan must tell Mr. Chen.

So Xu Shisan went straight to find Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen was sitting in his office with a thick book on the table. He was wearing glasses and flipping through the book page by page.

Mr. Chen's office was almost filled with books.

"Bang bang bang!"

Seeing that Mr. Chen was watching intently, Xu Shisan came in and knocked on the door again.

Seeing that it was Xu Shisan who came, Mr. Chen immediately smiled and said quickly, "Here comes Xu Shisan. Come in, come in. The teacher is looking for you."

After Xu Shisan walked into the office, Mr. Chen grabbed Xu Shisan's hand.

Hearing that Mr. Chen wanted to talk to him about something, Xu Shisan asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Elder Chen smiled amiably and said, "Nothing much. I just want to study your summoned beast, the one with a bird's beak, and the big lizard. Oh, and that strange sculpture. Why don't you just summon them all out so I can study them."

Elder Chen looked very anxious. Xu Shisan was overwhelmed after hearing this. He quickly declined, saying, "Elder Chen, let's talk about this after we get back. I have something to trouble you with now."

"What's the matter?" Mr. Chen asked curiously.

"That's right. I want to ask for leave for you to go home and visit your family." Xu Shisan stated his purpose.

"Visiting relatives?" Old Chen was puzzled: "Thirteen, if the teacher remembers correctly, aren't you an orphan?"

It was the first time that Mr. Chen met an orphan visiting his relatives.

Xu Shisan explained: "It's like this, Mr. Chen. She is my sister. We grew up together in an orphanage. Since I came to the capital, I have been training in the training camp. We haven't seen each other for two years. This time I went back just to see her."

"Oh, I see." Mr. Chen understood.

Then he said no problem: "Okay, how many days will you be gone?"

"Well, about ten days." Xu Shisan replied.

"More than ten days is a bit long. The thing is, Thirteen, in ten days, the Court of Arbitration will arrange for you to go to the Imperial Capital College, where you will systematically learn team combat. So you have to come back within ten days. If there is something important, you can come back two days later, but not too late." Old Chen explained.

Xu Shisan was no stranger to the "Imperial Capital College" mentioned by Mr. Chen.

It is a summoner's paradise, where the most talented and promising summoners from the entire Dragon Kingdom, aged between 20 and 26, gather.

It is said that the students inside are basically all C-level summoners, and many of the older students are B-level summoners. It is the highest institution of learning in the entire Dragon Country.

And what is taught in it is also very simple.

That's teamwork.

The Summoner's Tournament that Xu Shisan just participated in adopted the format of individual battle, which is completely different from team battle.

At the same level, no matter how strong an individual is, he cannot beat a well-coordinated team.

This is just like the MOBA games you played in your previous life, such as Honor of Kings and League of Legends. No matter how good your skills are or how powerful your hero is, you cannot fight five alone. You must cooperate with the team to win the game.

The Imperial Capital Academy teaches you how to work as a team.

The teachers there are all powerful A-level summoners, or even S-level summoners.

The students who can go to the Imperial Capital College are the elite among the elites of Dragon Country.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I will be back within ten days." Xu Shisan assured Mr. Chen.

He went back just to see Xia Keer, there was nothing important, and ten days was enough.

"By the way, Thirteen, there is one more thing you need to deal with after you come back."

"Mr. Chen, please speak."

"That is, since you won the championship for Dragon Country, the big families in the imperial capital and even some high-ranking officials in the Court of Arbitration have been eyeing you. They all want their children to marry you. They have arranged many blind dates for you. You can pick a few when the time comes."

Hearing this, Xu Shisan was overwhelmed. He really wanted to tell Old Chen about himself and Lin Muxue, but then he thought that Lin Muxue had not confirmed yet, so he could only tell him when the time came.

So, Xu Shisan said perfunctorily and was about to leave: "Okay, Mr. Chen, I got it. I'll leave first then."

After saying that, Xu Shisan turned around and was about to leave, but Elder Chen immediately stopped him, "Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, Shisan, summon your summoned beasts and let the teacher study them. It will be ready in a moment."

Hearing this, Xu Shisan ran even faster.

After leaving Old Chen, Xu Shisan walked out of the training camp and headed towards the Imperial Capital Bus Station.

Shanhe District is still far away from the imperial capital, so naturally you have to take a car.

Currently, the fastest means of transportation is car. There are no trains, high-speed trains, or airplanes.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at the bus station. Xu Shisan spent eighty Alliance coins to buy a bus ticket to Shanhe District.

The bus leaves on time at 2:10.

The car had 18 seats. After people got on, there weren't many people. Including Xu Shisan, there were only about ten people.

After getting in the car, Xu Shisan found a seat near the back window and began to close his eyes to rest.

About five or six minutes later, when the bus was about to leave, a woman in a baseball cap suddenly got up from the front.

To be precise, it's a girl.

She was wearing a pair of denim shorts that revealed a pair of straight and smooth long legs, and a plain T-shirt with her head lowered to conceal her figure.

Although the girl had her head down and was wearing a baseball cap, the youthful vitality she exuded made it clear at a glance that she was not very old.

After getting on the car, the girl took a quick look and then quickly came to Xu Shisan.

"Please let me sit by the window."

Xu Shisan thought that the girl would sit next to him, but who would have thought that she would sit in his seat.

Without waiting for Xu Shisan's consent, the girl directly pulled Xu Shisan out from the window seat and made him sit in the seat next to her. Then she squeezed over and sat in Xu Shisan's previous seat.

Xu Shisan was a little confused, wondering if in this day and age, people still fought for positions like this?

Besides, aren’t there plenty of empty seats on the bus?

Why did this little girl have to sit next to me?

He had to take his seat. Just when Xu Shisan was wondering, two more men suddenly got on the car. They were both wearing the same black suit and looked ferocious.

After the two men came up, the little girl next to Xu Shisan seemed to have seen something terrible. She immediately squatted down and squatted at the feet of Xu Shisan, in the gap between the seats.

At this time, the two men who had just boarded the car spoke up. They asked the driver, "Master, is there a girl wearing a peaked cap on your bus?"

The bus driver was sitting in the driver's seat sipping tea from his thermos cup. Without even looking up, he replied impatiently, "What's with the peaked cap? Are you looking for someone or are you taking a bus? Our bus is leaving soon. If you don't want to take a bus, get off."

Seeing that the driver was not easy to communicate with, the two men stopped asking questions and instead looked at everyone in the bus, scanning them one by one.

Xu Shisan, who was sitting in his seat, looked at the two men, then glanced at the little girl who was squatting at his feet and hugging his calf.

The little girl put a finger to her lips and made a hushing gesture to Xu Shisan, indicating that Xu Shisan should not make a sound.

Seeing this, Xu Shisan did not say anything.

The two people in front saw that they didn't find the person they were looking for in the car, so they prepared to walk to the back of the car to confirm.

Seeing that they were still lingering on the bus, the bus driver glanced at the rearview mirror and shouted impatiently, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you two doing? Are you going to take the bus or not? Show me your tickets! If you don't want to take the bus, get off quickly. I'm about to leave."

Hearing the driver's urging voice, the two looked at each other, glanced back, and then got off the car.

After the two got off the bus, the driver also put down his teacup, started the bus and started driving away.

It was not until the bus left the station that the little girl squatting at Xu Shisan's feet finally breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the gap and sat back in her seat.

At this time, several passengers on the bus couldn't help but turn their heads to look here.

In fact, when the little girl got on the bus, several passengers on the bus saw her.

However, seeing that the two men looked ferocious, they did not interfere and exposed the girl.

At this time, Xu Shisan also looked at the girl next to him.

When the girl looked up, Xu Shisan was stunned for a moment.

Because this little girl is so beautiful.

The peach blossom eyes with slightly upturned corners will instantly fascinate people at first sight, the fair face is soft and delicate, and the rosy little mouth is like a cherry.

She looks to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She hasn't fully grown yet and still has a childish look on her face. But she is already a standard beauty.

"Thank you." After sitting up, the girl said thank you to Xu Shisan.

Xu Shisan finally reacted and replied softly, "You're welcome."

Afterwards, Xu Shisan no longer paid attention to her and continued to close his eyes and rest.

Shen Zhizhi was stunned when he saw Xu Shisan actually closed his eyes and began to rest.

She poked Xu Shisan's arm and whispered in his ear, "No, aren't you curious about why I'm being chased by someone?"

"Not interested." Xu Shisan replied without even opening his eyes.

Shen Zhizhi: “.”

"What's your name, then?" Shen Zhizhi poked Xu Shisan with her finger again.

"Xu Shisan." Xu Shisan replied, still without opening his eyes.

"Xu Shisan? Shisan? What a strange name."

Shen Zhizhi mumbled a few words, then introduced herself to Xu Shisan: "My name is Shen Zhizhi, you should call me Zhizhi soon."

In response, Xu Shisan couldn't help but say, "You said my name is weird, but your name seems even weirder."

Hearing this, Shen Zhizhi said without giving up: "It's not strange at all. My dad said that the reason I was named Zhizhi was because when my mom gave birth to me, there were bugs outside that kept chirping for a whole day and night, so he named me 'Zizhi'."

"Your father has never been to school." Xu Shisan couldn't help but say.

Hearing this, Shen Zhizhi immediately became anxious: "Your father has never been to school, but my father is Shen."

Having said that, Shen Zhizhi suddenly swallowed her words back.

"Forget it. You wouldn't know even if I told you. So where are you going?"

"This is a bus to Shanhe District. Of course I'm going to Shanhe District too." Xu Shisan replied.

"Shanhe District? I haven't been there yet, so I'd like to go and have some fun." Shen Zhizhi thought for a while, then asked, "Are you going back to the capital?"

"Back."

"Then when will you come back?"

"About ten days." Xu Shisan did not hide it.

"Ten days. About right. In that case, I'll follow you, and we'll go back to the capital together."

Xu Shisan: “.”

Xu Shisan really didn't expect that this little girl was so shameless that she actually wanted to follow him.

"I don't think we know each other."

Xu Shisan opened his eyes and looked at Shen Zhizhi, curious about her identity.

"It doesn't matter if we didn't know each other before. We know each other now. I have nowhere to go anyway, so can't you take me out to play for a few days?"

Shen Zhizhi is very thick-skinned, and when he said these words, he acted as if it was a matter of course.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy and will sell you to a cave to dig coal?" Xu Shisan said with a smile on his face.

In response, Shen Zhizhi looked up at Xu Shisan and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I don't think you are a bad person. Besides, I am not afraid of you even if you are a bad person. To tell you the truth, I am a summoner and you can't beat me."

To be honest, Shen Zhizhi held his chin high with a proud look, as if he was very proud of being a summoner.

Indeed, in this world, the identity of a summoner is respected, and everyone is proud to have become a summoner.

Every summoner, even the lowest level one, is looked up to by the common people.

"Oh, really? You are actually a summoner. Then I dare not harm you." Xu Shisan smiled.

"By the way, what are you going to do in Shanhe District?" Shen Zhizhi asked again.

"Visiting relatives."

"Visiting relatives? Oh, I see. Then what are you doing in the imperial capital? Are you working?"

"Ah."

"So where do you work? What do you do?"

“I post advertisements on the street.”

"Tsk tsk tsk, you actually do this kind of work. The telephone poles near my house are covered with flyers every day. I suspect it's you who did it."
