The Card Cultivation System
CCS-179

Xika walked towards the first restaurant she met then ate as much as Huo Bing and Heiliao. After that they walked around the city and saw the scenery. Every now and then Huo Bing bought some roadside snacks as if he had not eaten before. Xika himself also bought several card decks which he thought had quite a unique look.

They act like they don't know they're being followed. First of all, they would let the spies see their ordinary lives. If lucky, then they will go and make things easier. But unfortunately, no one left even though Xika had been having fun all day.

The sun went down and the moon showed itself. The residents started lighting the lights to light up the streets. Some merchants make unique lamps to attract customers' attention. But Xika's focus is not to enjoy the beauty of street lights, but rather to deal with the experts who follow her.

"Xica."

Xika was surprised to hear Huo Bing's voice in her head, but now the bird already had its own soul and body and was not connected to Xika at all. But how could Huo Bing's voice appear in his head?

"Don't look. Be ordinary. About this I'll explain later. Now we better think of a way to take care of these fucking stalkers."

"Yes. They've been following us all day. I suspect they'll keep an eye on us even if we poop."

Heiliao's voice also sounded in his head. Xika was not surprised. Heiliao had talked to him several times like this.

"How many people are there? Are they all from the same side?"

"About ten people. And they seemed to be from different powers given the difference in their auras and positions."

"Ten? Also pretty. I'm guessing they're from the forces behind the three people we defeated just now aren't they?"

"Still less than one. In total there are four different forces that seek to investigate our origins. It seems like the academy is also curious about us."

"He? Academies too? Then it'll be easier."

Xika seemed to have a plan already, so Huo Bing and Heiliao did not continue to talk anymore. Sometimes they are like this. Not that they couldn't handle these things, but they were deliberately silent in order for Xika to get used to handling them herself. Wrong or right, it was Xika's decision. Unless Xika made a very fatal choice, the two of them would not move.

"Huo Bing, I can sense some people nearby, but I can't tell which strength they're from. Can you help me?"

"On the right, in front of the inn, two people. They're from the academy."

Xika directly walked closer to the direction Huo Bing pointed at. He approached two people who were pretending to read a newspaper.

"Ah, elders. It so happens that we meet. What's elder doing here?" greet Xika as if accidentally encountering the two middle-aged men.

And both of them were clearly surprised to see Xika talking to them. They did not expect that Xika would find their existence.

"W-w-w.yes."

"Elder Bai -"

The elder on the right immediately stopped talking after getting a plot from his partner.

"Elder Bai sent us to make sure you're okay."

"I'm doing fine. Why why?"

The middle-aged man on the left cursed in his heart. He spoke wrong.

"Ekhem! This place was the Capital of the Lin Dynasty, who knew how much danger there was in it? Especially for someone new to this town like you."

"So so. Elder Bai is really nice. But how did he know I had just arrived in town?"

Now the man cursed many times in his heart. He mispronounced again and revealed something he should not have.

"We often patrol this town. There's a new face coming up for sure we know right away."

Xika nodded in understanding.

"Then does the elder know a good inn? I'm looking for a place to spend the night."

The two elders looked at each other. Xika could see the confusion flashed in their eyes clearly.

"A lodge? Why don't you settle down at the academy?"

"Ehh...anu...no one told me, so I thought we should find a place to spend the night by ourselves."

Actually, Elder Bai forgot to tell Xika that because he was in too much of a hurry to convey Xika's arrival to the Head of the Academy and some other elders.

"Then you come with us. It just so happens that we are going home now. Don't you?" The man on the left shrugged his friend's shoulders.

"Eh? Yeah, yeah.right, of course. Come with us."

"Sorry to trouble the elder." Xika lowered her head.

Then Xika and the others walked following the two elders. Unwittingly by anyone, Xika gave a small smile. Plan succeeded. He intended to use the academy's spies to get rid of the other spies. Although he did not expect that they would escort him to the academy.

Plus, he got some important information. First, Elder Bai himself sent the two to watch over Xika. Although there was a possibility that Elder Bai was acting on orders from a higher party, but he would put that aside for a while.

His initial impression on Elder Bai was quite good. But after this he had to be careful with Elder Bai. That guy has to be wary. If Xika guessed, there was a possibility that the smile on her face was just a disguise. Somehow his real face. But of course this was all just Xika's guess.

Second, the academy knew that he had only come today. It shows that the Academy has power in this city. Otherwise, they wouldn't have known Xika's arrival information so quickly.

But he still did not know how big the strength of the academy was. He also had to find out about other powers. Information is important. But for now, Xika decided to rest first. He will start his steps tomorrow.

The two elders brought him back to the academy, only this time towards a different building. They walked until they arrived at the residence of the students. The building extends to the side and is enough to accommodate several thousand disciples for the night.

Looking at the few students who were still wandering outside the building, Xika decided not to trouble the two elders anymore. He thanked them then walked up to one of the academy students who was sitting on a long bench.

"Excuse me, is this really the residence of the students?"

The man looked at Xika. His eyes were a little blurry probably out drinking wine, but his gaze was quite sharp.

"Yes." Yeah."

That'sallthatis. After that the man turned his body again. Xika did not care much about the attitude of the man who seemed arrogant. He gave a smile of thanks then walked in towards the residence of the students.

"If you're just in, better find another place to spend the night."

Suddenly the man spoke again.

"Why?"

"Follow my words if you want to live quietly."

After saying that he stood up and left Xika the only three with Huo Bing and Heiliao.

"Well! If you want to live quietly? I don't want to live quietly. I like riots."

"Let's go in."

"M."

Xika paid no heed to Huo Bing's words and walked in with Heiliao then Huo Bing tailed behind.

KRIETTE!!!!

Xika opened the door and entered a view that was no different from the restaurant. Chairs and tables are available everywhere. In addition, there is also a long table that Xika guesses functions to order food. The atmosphere was quite comfortable if only Xika was not looked at by all pairs of eyes present.

Ever since he opened the door, he had been stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes. It was just that he was too late to wake up from observing the place. He decided to nod briefly at everything then stepped in.

Talks that had originally stalled because of the presence of Xika are now resumed even though in a low voice. Moreover, they still put their eyes on Xika and continued to pay attention to her movements.

To be honest, Xika felt strangely stared at continuously like that. But he ignores them and walks towards a long table that he suspects serves to order food.

"Excuse me, where can I get a room?"

Xika spoke to the man behind the table. But the response he received was completely unexpected.

"What's? You're here because you want to spend the night?"

"Is something wrong?" Xika asked confusedly.

Instead of answering, the man laughed. The longer it gets tighter. Then slowly the whole room laughed at him.

Huo Bing displayed a clear annoyed look, inversely proportional to the ordinary Heiliao next to him. If he did not remember that he had to be quiet to let Xika develop, then he had already silenced their mouths one by one.

Taps!

Suddenly a hand held her shoulder.

"Hey son. Next time find out before entering this place. Now you better get out if you're still alive."

"Eh? Why why anyway? Will there be a disaster? But I don't see any signs of disaster." said Xika pretending to be stupid.

"What about now?" The man who previously held her shoulder now swung his arm towards Xika's face.

"Still the same. No sign of disaster."

Xika managed to dodge the man's attack and made all the disciples who had been laughing loudly silent for a moment. Even the man who attacked him earlier was suddenly silent.

"I still don't see any sign of disaster" Xika said with a smile.
