Chapter 139 The entrance exam is over, Aunt Han of Mu Ningxue
After dealing with Yu Ang, Mo Fan simply carried the injured Shadow Beast towards the beast-taming cage with his Ghost Wolf Beast. If it hadn't been accidentally injured by several Black Beasts during the battle, the Shadow Beast would have escaped long ago and wouldn't have been left here to be captured by Mo Fan. Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao didn't stop Mo Fan from taking the Shadow Beast away. It wasn't that they didn't want to stop him; if they had any magical energy left, they wouldn't have let Mo Fan take the Shadow Beast away so easily.
After the Night Domination Array disappeared, the students were surprised to find, under the moonlight and lamplight, that a great battle seemed to have taken place near the Beast Taming Cage. There were traces of magical bombardment everywhere, as well as terrifying claw marks, and several strange creatures frozen into ice sculptures, the largest of which was a charred corpse.
There was even a charred human corpse, but no one knew who it belonged to.
"What happened here? My God, what is that weird, frozen creature? It's disgusting, ugh~"
"A corpse, that's a charred corpse, it's a person, someone's been murdered, someone's been killed."
"Look at the beast-taming cage! Isn't that the Great Demon King Mo Fan? Could this person have been killed by the Great Demon King?"
Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu walked over with the crowd and asked Mo Fanzhong, who was in the iron cage, "Hey, Mo Fan, are you alright? You look like you've been seriously injured."
"It's nothing, I just got a little hurt when I was dealing with Yu Ang's cursed beast." Mo Fan waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
While Xu Zhaoting and Mo Fan were talking, Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao came over with healing medicine. Ai Tutu handed the medicine to Mo Fan, who was in the beast taming cage, and said indifferently, "Here, this is healing medicine. If Jiang Han hadn't said you were injured, I wouldn't have bothered with you."
Mo Fan accepted the healing medicine with a touch of sadness, muttering to himself, "Sigh, how can there be such a huge difference between people?"
This Ai Tutu treats him and Jiang Han differently, which makes Mo Fan feel very jealous, hence his words.
The entrance examination is over, and the winners are Mo Fan, Xu Zhaoting, Zhang Lulu, Ai Tutu, and Mu Nujiao. This was planned by Jiang Han before the entrance examination began. As for the people who died in the square, they were all Black Pepper agents who were hiding in the academy. This was revealed after the trial.
The people from the court were very impressed with Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting's performance in this operation, and even extended an invitation to them, saying that if the two graduated from Mingzhu Academy, they could work for the court. When Heijiao committed the crime, there were not many young people who could stand up to Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting head-on, so the people from the court wanted to recruit them.
The invitation to the trial court made many students at the school extremely envious. What kind of place is the trial court?
That is a sacred place that countless magicians dream of. Every year, countless students graduate from the academy and go to interview for the Judgment Council, but only a handful of them are successfully selected. Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting received an invitation from the Judgment Council before they even graduated. How could the other students not be envious?

In a large manor on the outskirts of the capital
A noble and beautiful woman in an ice-blue long dress was chatting and laughing with a girl in a light blue fitted long dress under the pavilion. Both of them had beautiful silver hair, and it was easy to take your eyes off them when they sat together.
Jiang Han or Mo Fan would definitely recognize who that girl is; she is Mu Ningxue, who was specially recruited to the Imperial Capital Academy.
"Ning Xue, how's your cultivation going these days?" the elegant and beautiful woman asked with a smile.
Mu Ningxue did not show her usual frosty expression, but instead revealed a sweet smile and said, "Aunt Han, with the resources you provided, I broke through to the third level of the intermediate stage a few days ago."
"Hmm, not bad, you have your mother's talent." The noble and beautiful woman smiled with satisfaction, then seemed to remember something and said, "In a few days, your Uncle Jiang and I will be leaving the capital. If we stay here any longer, the old fogies in the family will probably find out soon, and you will be implicated as well. After we leave, this manor will be yours. You can come back to live here whenever you want. Just treat this place as your own home. I just don't know if the spirit of the 'Bow of Destruction' within you will stir up again after I leave."
"Aunt Han, don't worry. I could withstand the torment of the Ice Nightmare even before I met you, let alone now that I've broken through to the advanced level," Mu Ningxue said.
The elegant and beautiful woman thought for a moment and then called out, "Haokun, didn't you get a Blazing Sun Jade a while ago? Give it to Ningxue as a gift. Ningxue, this Blazing Sun Jade can help you offset a lot of the side effects of the Ice Nightmare."
No sooner had the noble and beautiful woman finished speaking than a middle-aged man emerged from a house not far from the pavilion. In his hand he held a crimson jade stone. Upon arriving at the pavilion, he smiled and said, "Ning Xue, it's been quite a while since we last met after leaving Bo City. Consider this Blazing Sun Jade a gift for our reunion."
Mu Ningxue hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to accept it. The elegant and beautiful woman smiled and said, "Take it. This is also a token of your Uncle Jiang's appreciation."
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." Mu Ningxue accepted the crimson gift from the middle-aged man and said with a smile.
The middle-aged man was Jiang Kun, Jiang Han's long-lost father, while the noble and beautiful woman was Mu Qinghan, Jiang Han's mother whom he had only seen a few times since birth. As for why Mu Qinghan and Jiang Kun were able to appear at the manor at the same time, it was related to the great battle that took place half a month ago.
That great battle shattered several hilltops on the outskirts of the capital, and various stories about that battle still circulate in the capital to this day.
In the end, it was only after the court monks of the Forbidden City in the capital intervened that the battle ended. As for the result, it goes without saying that Jiang Han's cheap father, Jiang Kun, won.
It's not that the Mu family in the capital is failing; it's mainly because the help Jiang Kun brought was too strong—the emperor-level thunder beast, Kui Niu.
If Jiang Kun hadn't stopped Kui Niu from killing, the Mu Clan would have lost more than a dozen super-level mages in that battle. If a super-level mage from the Mu Clan had died, the feud would have been huge. If things went too far, it could have caused a major war between the two powerful clans, which is something the Chinese leadership doesn't want to see. That's why they sent court mages from the Imperial Palace in the capital to mediate.
"Hey Ning Xue, what do you think of my brat? Interested in trying to be friends?" Mu Qinghan said with a smile.
"Ah, it's alright." Mu Ningxue didn't expect Mu Qinghan to jump to such a big topic and was a little caught off guard for a moment.
"I was just kidding you. I was just joking with you. I wonder which boy will end up with such a pretty girl like you." Seeing a blush creep up Mu Ningxue's face, Mu Qinghan didn't want to continue. After thinking for a moment, he changed the subject and said, "Oh, by the way, the exchange students from Haokun Imperial Academy this year should be arriving soon, right?"
"Hmm, I heard from Old Xiao that Jiang Han, that brat, is an exchange student this year and will be coming to the capital in a couple of days. Qinghan, do you want to stay and see him?" Jiang Kun said casually.
Mu Qinghan shook her head and said, "Let's forget it. If we stay any longer, it will only cause them more trouble. Let's stick to the original plan and head to Tianshan tomorrow to have some time alone. As for the capital, Ning Xue and a few of my friends are here, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Ning Xue, Jiang Han will be relying on you to entertain him after he comes to Shanghai," Mu Qinghan said, smiling as he finished speaking.
Mu Ningxue nodded and said, "Aunt Han, you're joking. This manor belongs to you all. I'm just bringing him here; it's not like I'm entertaining him."
P.S.: Why aren't there any votes? I'll be updating twice tomorrow, I'll keep my promise and ask for some votes o(╥﹏╥)o
