Chapter 727: Getting Deeper and Deeper. (First update! Please subscribe!)
By the river, in the woods.
A figure flashed, and Yan Minghua, in her ethereal skirt and moon cloak, gracefully landed.
She surveyed her surroundings, confirmed she hadn't gone the wrong way, then quickly entered the forest, and soon, she saw the Xi Wu Academy.
Concealing her aura, Yan Minghua did not immediately push the door open and enter.
She had come this time to rescue someone.
To rescue the Liulan Dynasty's Fourth Prince and that Alchemist, she first had to deal with the “strangeness” within this Creek Noon Academy; second, she had to confront Ji Changfu of the Heavenly Born Sect.
Therefore, she had to make thorough preparations!
Yan Minghua immediately took out a stack of Talismans, which varied in color and purpose.
Some were for resisting Curses, some for stabilizing the Divine Soul, and some for enhancing defense…
With a thought, all the Talismans began to glow faintly, and the next moment, they transformed into white flowers, swirling around Yan Minghua's body, gradually merging into her form.
Soon, her arms, legs, and even her waist, back, and chest, hidden by her clothes, were covered in vine-like floral runes.
The light in her eyes flowed, vaguely resembling a tall, majestic flower tree, its crown beautiful and vast, slowly appearing for a moment, ultimately transforming into two runes that settled deep within her eyes.
After completing these preparations, Yan Minghua tidied her robes and stepped forward to push open the main gate.
Creak.
As the gate opened, the musty, decaying smell of long-abandoned space assaulted her, yet what met her eyes was a scene of vibrant flowers and lush willows.
This stark contrast held an indescribable strangeness, as if the gate led into the gaping maw of some Vicious Beast, silently awaiting an unsuspecting passerby.
Yan Minghua stepped inside, and just as she glanced at the Yellow Dog beneath the ornate gate, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
She hadn't done anything yet, but the runes on her body immediately began to burn, and at a very fast rate!
Jiuyi Mountain would not miss such important intelligence!
This must be some kind of sudden deterioration of the “strangeness” within the Creek Noon Academy!
She had to speed up and rescue the Fourth Prince and that Alchemist as quickly as possible!
Bang.
At this moment, the main gate behind her closed abruptly, without any wind.
Yan Minghua's delicate brows furrowed, and just then, an old-fashioned Old Master with white hair and beard, wearing a faded blue robe, appeared before her without warning.
The Old Master stared at her and slowly spoke, “What is your name?”
Upon hearing this, Yan Minghua looked at the old man with a solemn expression; he was most likely the Headmaster of the Creek Noon Academy.
She immediately said, “Ji Changfu.”
The Old Master's gaze towards Yan Minghua immediately became incredibly strange.
Yan Minghua's expression remained unchanged, but she felt the speed at which the runes on her body were burning suddenly accelerate!
A moment later, the Old Master said faintly, “Teacher Ji, morning class has already ended. As the teacher of the Yi Character Classroom, why are you still lingering here? Hurry to the classroom to teach. Today, you must impart all your life's knowledge to the students.”
“As a teacher, you should teach your students everything you know.”
“Don't be as evasive as you were yesterday.”
Yan Minghua's heart settled upon hearing this, and she immediately said, “I'll go now.”
With that, she quickly bypassed the Old Master and boldly walked into the ornate gate.
After entering and walking for a while, Yan Minghua saw that the Old Master hadn't followed, and she nodded slightly.
Ji Changfu had indeed entered this Creek Noon Academy, and he didn't know the rules, even revealing his true name!
Now that her false name overlapped with Ji Changfu's, coupled with her thorough preparations, she had bypassed the rule of being forcibly appointed as a classroom teacher by the Headmaster.
Of course, this shouldn't last too long, but it was enough for her to save people.
At this point, she saw a tiled house ahead, divided into separate classrooms. So, Yan Minghua quickly walked towards the first classroom.
She reached the entrance of the Bing Character Classroom and saw a row of students standing outside, all with hollow eyes and vacant expressions, ignoring her.
And the classroom behind them was dim, cold, like a tomb.
On the podium, a female Cultivator in luxurious clothes was earnestly lecturing to an empty classroom.
She seemed completely unaware that there were no longer any students in the classroom, her demeanor and tone extremely immersed, as if the seats below were full, all holding their breath and listening intently.
Seeing Zhong Kui Jingyi, Yan Minghua nodded slightly. Good, this matter was going smoothly so far. First, rescue the Liulan Imperial Dynasty's Fourth Prince, and then go find that Alchemist.
Thinking this, Yan Minghua walked directly into the Bing Character Classroom.
As soon as she entered, the door immediately closed automatically, and the speed at which the runes on her body were burning suddenly increased by a large margin!
Yan Minghua frowned slightly; she was not the teacher of this classroom, nor was she one of its students, so she could not stay in this classroom for long.
At this moment, sensing someone had intruded, Zhong Kui Jingyi immediately turned her head and looked at the unfamiliar woman before her, first slightly startled, then subconsciously asked, “Teacher Ji Changfu, why have you come to see me?”
Ji Changfu… That was the false name she had just given to the strange Headmaster!
Yan Minghua's pupils suddenly constricted, and all the runes on her body instantly blazed, burning away completely in the blink of an eye!
The moment the runes burned out, Yan Minghua suddenly felt a trance. She… seemed to be here to save someone?
But, who was she supposed to save?
No, wait, who was she herself?
***
Jia Character Classroom.
Inside the chilling room, the incessant rustling of snakes, insects, rats, and ants filled the air.
The students, half with malicious intent and half with hollow eyes, all stared intently at Pei Ling on the podium.
“Ding dong! The Intelligent Cultivation System is at your service! One-click Hosting, intelligent upgrade! Now starting Hosting Cultivate, friendly reminder: During Cultivation, the host will lose control of their body, please do not panic…”
The moment the System's notification sounded, Pei Ling immediately recovered all his previously lost memories. His heart instantly sank. Not good!
Without memories, he and Zhong Kui Jingyi had fallen deeper and deeper into this “strangeness.”
Although so far, there was no apparent harm from this “strangeness,” if it continued like this, both he and Zhong Kui Jingyi would gradually sink into oblivion, eventually even ending up like Li Yanling of Pengying Temple, who had been dead for many years yet remained blissfully unaware…
No, that's not right!
This “strangeness” made him forget all the precautions he had taken before using the System to Hosting Cultivate!
He had no preparations whatsoever for Cultivating the 【Maha Color Evolution Scroll】 this time.
The System's free Cauldron gift would definitely choose the Imperial Dynasty's Fourth Prince, Zhong Kui Jingyi!
What to do?
Just as Pei Ling was feeling extremely anxious, the System's voice sounded again: “Ding dong! Detected a fragmented ‘Dao’ within the host’s body, the System will begin to refine it for you…”
Fragmented “Dao”?
Pei Ling was momentarily stunned, and before he could react, the System controlled his body, directly opened his storage bag, took out most of the Supreme Grade Mind Enlightenment Pill he had refined yesterday, and then poured it all into his mouth.
Chapter 728: Teaching on the stage. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
After the Medicinal Pill entered his abdomen, Pei Ling did not feel his body absorb any of the medicinal power.
He had already taken a Supreme Grade Mind Enlightenment Pill yesterday, and this type of Medicinal Pill only has an effect when a Cultivator takes it for the first time.
However, although he could not feel the Medicinal Pill's effect, a mysterious and profound power flowed throughout his entire body.
Afterward, under the System’s control, the “Dao” deep within his destiny subtly squirmed, as if slowly extending invisible threads that wrapped around this mysterious power, greedily sucking it in…
As time passed, Pei Ling clearly felt that the “Dao” deep within his destiny had significantly strengthened.
It was as if an ordinary sprout had grown into a more robust and vibrant sapling.
In a moment, Pei Ling’s “Dao” had completely absorbed the mysterious sensation, and the System’s notification sounded again: “Ding-dong! Detected that the ‘Dao’ has been refined. The System will continue to Cultivate for you…”
“Ding-dong! Detected that the 【Maha Color Evolution Scroll】 requires a Cauldron to continue Cultivating…”
“Ding-dong! Detected that the Host already has a Cauldron…”
“Ding-dong! Detected that the Host’s Cauldron is not in the service area. The System will provide you with a new Cauldron for free…”
The next moment, under the System’s control, Pei Ling turned and walked out of the classroom.
Pei Ling suddenly snapped back to his senses, feeling a surge of anxiety.
He had a very good impression of Zhong Kui Jingyi; despite her noble status as a Royal princess, she showed no arrogance of a golden branch and jade leaf. She was not only approachable but also kind-hearted and upright. If the System controlled him to forcefully Cultivate with Zhong Kui Jingyi…
Wait!
The Cauldron provided by the System for free might not be Zhong Kui Jingyi!
Last time, during the “Ghost” incident in Pengying Temple, the System had given him Ji Shuang’er’s female corpse.
Yes, this free Cauldron from the System was even worse than a ghost for him right now!
As he was thinking, Pei Ling had already walked outside the Jia Character Classroom.
The rain was still falling, and thunder rumbled in the sky, with purple lightning streaking across, but outside the Jia, Yi, and Bing Character Classrooms, there was a connecting corridor, allowing movement without getting wet.
Under the System’s control, Pei Ling passed by the entrance of the Yi Character Classroom and soon reached the entrance of the Bing Character Classroom.
At this moment, the entrance of the Bing Character Classroom was filled with students.
Their eyes were blank, completely unresponsive to Pei Ling’s arrival.
Pei Ling walked straight over and kicked the door.
Bang!
The door was kicked open, revealing the dim classroom and two female Cultivators in luxurious robes.
One of them was beautiful and charming, wearing a jade crown with tassels hanging down on both sides, swaying slightly—it was Zhong Kui Jingyi; the other had graceful eyebrows and captivating eyes, a long slender neck, and was as elegant and beautiful as a blooming jade flower, exquisitely stunning… Pei Ling was startled. This was Celestial Maiden Yan Minghua of Su Zhen Heaven!
Besides him, Zhong Kui Jingyi, and Ji Changfu, Tian Ji of Su Zhen Heaven had also entered this “Ghost” place?
At this moment, sensing the commotion, Zhong Kui Jingyi, who was lecturing to the air, immediately turned to look at the door. Seeing that it was Wang Gao Teacher, she couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Wang Instructor, what do you need me for?”
Hearing this, Pei Ling did not answer a single word and walked directly towards Yan Minghua.
Bang.
The door behind him closed automatically.
Zhong Kui Jingyi looked at Pei Ling strangely. Seeing that Wang Gao Teacher, was not looking for her, she no longer paid attention and continued her lecture: “The 【Huang Ming Sacred Record】 is one of the fundamental Cultivation Techniques of the Zhong Kui Clan, and its power is immense…”
“This Cultivation Technique does not require very high Aptitude, but it is extremely demanding on one’s Heart-Nature…”
“When Cultivating, one needs to pay attention to…”
“The so-called vast and righteous…”
“Virtuous words and deeds, with a kind heart…”
As Zhong Kui Jingyi lectured loudly, Pei Ling walked up to Yan Minghua, extended both hands, and placed them on her shoulders.
The System’s notification sounded: “Ding-dong! Cauldron provided successfully, Cultivation continues…”
Pei Ling was immediately shocked. The System had provided Tian Ji of Su Zhen Heaven?!
This was it! He was finished!
Tian Ji of Su Zhen Heaven’s cultivation was higher than his.
If she were to attack now, and he, being controlled by the System, would not fight back, he would undoubtedly die.
The Corporeal Inversion Life-Snatching Pill he had taken, and the last drop of tian shang tears given by Master Medicine Immortal, would most likely be used here today!
Chicken drumsticks.
Monthly pass.
Not too much to ask, right?
Chapter 729: Cleaning up the mess. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
The Bing Character Classroom's desks, chairs, and floor tiles were all ancient and dim in color.
Pei Ling gazed at Yan Minghua, whom he had treated wantonly; her vibrant colors in the dim and hazy classroom made her seem like a beautiful demoness who had stepped out of an ancient painting, exuding wildness and charm in her graceful demeanor.
Initially, he was incredibly astonished, finding it hard to believe things had progressed to this point.
But as his Cultivation deepened and his cultivation gradually climbed, he slowly became immersed in it.
His magic power circulated like a wheel, each cycle becoming purer, more lively, and more robust.
After climbing the Ten Thousand Races Blood Ladder and becoming the Saint, Pei Ling's cultivation had already reached the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul. After Dual Cultivating with Si Hong Qingyan for the second time, his cultivation took a big step forward on top of his existing Foundation. Coupled with this period of Cultivation, he had already reached the verge of the Peak Middle Stage of Nascent Soul.
At this moment, Dual Cultivating with Celestial Maiden Yan Minghua of Su Zhen Heaven, whose Foundation was incredibly stable and profound, and who was still a virgin, the power plundered and transformed by the Maha Color Evolution Scroll caused Pei Ling's cultivation to rapidly increase again.
Soon, Pei Ling felt the flow of magic power around him surge like a tide, and with a boom, it seemed to shatter some barrier. His cultivation, his power, and his aura suddenly rose significantly.
In an instant, he felt a force from deep within his destiny, which was hidden in the unknown, instantly soar into the sky. It was as if a seedling had suddenly broken through the obstruction of mud and sand, extending a pair of tender sprouts from underground, witnessing the scenery above ground for the first time in its life; or like a chrysalis gnawing through its thick cocoon, dragging out colorful wings, observing the original world from a different perspective.
The 'Dao' that was originally like a sapling rapidly surged and transformed at this moment.
Late Stage of Nascent Soul!
Just at this moment, Yan Minghua let out an uncontrollable, enchanting cry.
The intense commotion in the classroom suddenly quieted down, leaving only Zhong Kui Jingyi's calm voice lecturing.
"Ding dong! This Cultivation has been completed. Thank you, Host, for using the intelligent Cultivation System. One-click hosting, worry-free Ascension! We look forward to your Cultivation evaluation. Please give us a five-star rating if you are satisfied..."
"Ding dong! Detecting that the Host's cultivation has reached the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, the System will freely present a Dao Companion..."
"Ding dong! Detecting that there is only one new Dao Companion who meets the conditions nearby, the System is now presenting her to you..."
Pei Ling had just recovered from the Cultivation of the Maha Color Evolution Scroll and was about to experience the changes in his strength from the cultivation Breakthrough, but he suddenly heard the System's prompt sound. He was immediately stunned, and then only one word remained in his mind: F**k!
The next moment, under the System's control, he released Yan Minghua, allowing her to lie weakly on the desk, while he quickly turned around and walked directly towards Zhong Kui Jingyi on the podium.
Zhong Kui Jingyi's expression was calm, and she was still diligently explaining: "The reason tiao li ginseng is expensive is primarily because it is difficult to Cultivate. Most of it can only be obtained from the wild. Of course, difficult to Cultivate means there are exceptions. The Liulan Dynasty has several medicinal estates that possess special Legacies and can artificially grow it..."
"The specific method is..."
"In addition, there are several other medicinal materials that have strict requirements. They... ah... Wang Instructor, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Pei Ling strode up to her, and under the System's control, he pulled Zhong Kui Jingyi into his arms!
Having just Dual Cultivated with the Heavenly Maiden of Su Zhen Heaven, and now making a move on the Princess of the Liulan Dynasty?
Moreover, all of this was happening in front of both of them!
For a moment, Pei Ling's mind went blank.
"Ding dong! Dao Companion presentation successful. This presentation has been completed. Thank you, Host, for using the intelligent Cultivation System. One-click hosting, worry-free Ascension! We look forward to your Cultivation evaluation. Please give us a five-star rating if you are satisfied..."
The moment the System's prompt sounded, Pei Ling instantly regained control of his body.
He was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking at Zhong Kui Jingyi, whom he had forcibly pulled into his arms, only to see her glaring at him with dissatisfaction.
"Wang Instructor, I haven't finished my lesson yet, don't..." Before Zhong Kui Jingyi could finish speaking, Pei Ling quickly released his arm, while rapidly putting on his clothes, and thinking quickly in his mind.
That's right, every time his Realm broke through, the System would give him a Dao Companion for free.
But this was just a gift, not an instruction to Dual Cultivate with the Dao Companion!
Specifically, in the System's judgment, a Dao Companion was a type of Cultivation resource, just like when he gave a five-star review after his first Dual Cultivation with Senior Sister Li, the System freely presented him with a yangyuan pill.
As long as he held the yangyuan pill in his hand, it counted as a successful presentation!
As for whether he would consume it himself, return it, or temporarily keep it, it would not affect the System's judgment of "successful presentation."
Because Pei Ling had not chosen any Cultivation Technique at the moment, the System would only present, not use this presented "resource" in such a situation.
Realizing this, Pei Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had known this earlier, why would he have been so cautious before?
Thinking this, he casually gave the System a one-star bad review...
At this moment, seeing that Wang Gao Teacher was no longer interfering with her, Zhong Kui Jingyi again felt that something was wrong, but her memory loss was too severe, so she only paused for a moment before continuing her lecture: "In addition to Alchemy, grass is also a common material for some Demonic Path Curse techniques..."
"Demonic Path Curses often use flesh, blood, and souls, which harm the Dao..."
"Regarding divination..."
Pei Ling put on his clothes and found that he still hadn't lost his memory, which made him feel relieved.
This should be because the System had just refined a 'Dao' for him!
Last time in Pengying Temple, he was also able to recover his memory after obtaining a 'Dao' from the 'Anomaly'. Now he had refined another 'Dao' from the 'Anomaly' in the Creek Noon Academy, and both were related to forgetting, which was why he was clear-headed.
Thinking of this, Pei Ling looked at Zhong Kui Jingyi, who was still lecturing, and then at Yan Minghua, who was lying on the desk, her cheeks flushed and her eyes hazy as she gazed at him.
The Heavenly Maiden was clearly still in a daze, her eyes somewhat bewildered, almost instinctively staring at Pei Ling. Witnessing this scene, Pei Ling's heart warmed, but he quickly calmed down.
Currently, being in the midst of an 'Anomaly', both Yan Minghua and Zhong Kui Jingyi were clearly deeply affected. He had to find a way to save them both!
Pei Ling immediately walked quickly to Yan Minghua's side and helped her up from the desk.
Yan Minghua said nothing, leaning against his chest without any struggle or resistance.
Pei Ling composed himself, opened her storage bag, took out a set of clothes, and quickly dressed Yan Minghua.
Afterward, he looked at the torn skirts scattered around, and originally wanted to conjure the Nan Ke Dream Fire to burn them, but remembering that he couldn't use magic in the Creek Noon Academy, he had a thought and put all the torn clothes into a storage bag.
Only when there were no traces left in the classroom did Pei Ling transmit his voice: "Yan... Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry, I just now..."

Chapter 730 Where are you going? (Additional update for QQ leader "Porco.Fan", 1/3)
“Are you that Alchemist?” Yan Minghua asked, her voice as faint as a wisp of smoke, the dazed look in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by a clear, lucid gaze.
Pei Ling was startled, then immediately replied, “That’s right, I am Wang Gao. I was actually misled by the ‘weirdness’ in this Creek Noon Academy just now…”
Wang Gao…
The top performer of the Liulan Dynasty’s Lun Dan Grand Ceremony!
Yan Minghua quickly recalled his identity: he was a Loose Cultivator Alchemist. Rumor had it that his Alchemy attainments were astonishingly brilliant. When he was performing Alchemy in Little Free Heaven, he solved two of the examination questions left by Alchemist Ancestor in a very short time…
If the Devil Head from Wu Shi Villa hadn’t attacked Little Free Heaven, causing the final round of the Lun Dan Grand Ceremony to end prematurely, it was unknown how far this person would have gone. Moreover, the Liulan Dynasty’s general impression of this Wang Gao was that although he came from the chaotic Wan Hui Sea, he was benevolent, compassionate towards the weak, and acted very righteously…
The fact that the Devil Dao Four Sects were attacking Jiuyi Mountain and he was in Miao City, helping to refine Evil Warding Pills, clearly proved this point.
The ‘weirdness’ was still worsening, and since this Wang Gao was neither a Demonic Cultivator nor an enemy, but rather a partial ally, it was not the time to dwell on what just happened. They needed to leave quickly!
Thinking of this, Yan Minghua quickly transmitted her voice: “You only need to answer that you are that Alchemist; there’s no need to expose your true name.”
“However, since you’ve already said it, we must leave this Creek Noon Academy before class ends.”
“You carry the ‘Law’ of this ‘weirdness.’ My contact with you allows me to gradually recover some memories.”
“Now, go and bring the Fourth Prince of the Liulan Dynasty with you, and we’ll leave together!”
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling immediately replied, “Alright!”
Immediately after, he embraced the still somewhat weak Yan Minghua and walked towards Zhong Kui Jingyi.
Zhong Kui Jingyi was still expounding her understanding of a certain Divine Ability: “Its requirements for Aptitude and Heart-Nature are extremely high. The first step of Cultivation is…”
Just then, Pei Ling stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and transmitted his voice: “Fourth Prince, come with me.”
Zhong Kui Jingyi looked at Pei Ling in confusion and asked, “Wang Instructor, what’s wrong?”
Seeing that Zhong Kui Jingyi showed no signs of recovering her memory, Pei Ling was momentarily stunned, but at that moment, Yan Minghua directly made her move, striking Zhong Kui Jingyi’s neck with a hand chop.
Zhong Kui Jingyi immediately fainted.
Yan Minghua said concisely, “Take her! Once we’re out of the Creek Noon Academy, there’s no need to explain anything.”
Pei Ling regained his composure and immediately hoisted Zhong Kui Jingyi onto his shoulder, then led the two girls out of the Bing Character Classroom.
Outside the classroom, the students who had been punished were still standing. They had no reaction to Pei Ling and Yan Minghua entering and exiting, as if they hadn’t seen anything.
But as soon as they saw Zhong Kui Jingyi being led out by the two, their hollow gazes immediately turned to the three of them in unison.
※※※
Yi Character Classroom.
Inside the dim, stuffy room, the atmosphere was heavy.
“Smack.”
The ruler-shaped Magic Treasure fell heavily, and the student in front of him had no power to resist, being flattened into a puddle of flesh, blood splattering everywhere.
Ji Changfu’s expression was calm. He slightly tilted his head, avoiding a streak of foul blood that splashed towards his cheek. This was the second student he had beaten to death, using the excuse of not being serious in class.
The moment the student died on the spot, his memories regarding Dual Cultivation methods and the art of collecting and nourishing were partially restored again.
The students’ gazes towards Ji Changfu were filled with towering hatred, almost ready to erupt at any moment and devour him!
There was a brief silence in the classroom, then a student spoke in a sinister tone: “Instructor has already punished one person; now it’s time for you to demonstrate for us!”
“That’s right, Instructor, don’t refuse any longer. You are the Instructor, imparting knowledge and resolving doubts, it’s only natural.”
“If Instructor doesn’t demonstrate again, then we will demonstrate for Instructor to see…”
“Delay is useless; don’t waste our time any longer…”
Ji Changfu listened to their venomous urgings and said with an unruffled expression, “I haven’t finished the previous lesson yet. I will continue teaching.”
“All of you, shut up and don’t disturb my lecture.”
“Instructor is indeed hiding something!” The students glared at him, their teeth grinding, “Speak quickly! Speak quickly!”
Ji Changfu glanced at the blood characters on his arm again. Originally, there were only two lines, but now, another line of blood characters had appeared. This was inscribed after he dealt with the first student: “If a student is stubborn, the Instructor may punish them.”
He immediately gave a cold laugh. Although his memory had not yet fully recovered, he had found a way to break the situation!
At once, he calmly said, “There’s another point to note about the art of collecting and nourishing, and that is…”
※※※
Jia Character Classroom.
In the dim yellow room, snakes and rats seemed to be startled, only occasionally making timid movements. At other times, the entire classroom was deadly silent.
The students had already pricked all the paper figures. The ground looked as if it had snowed, covered entirely in shredded paper.
However, the Old Master had not yet returned.
“Damn it! The Old Master tricked us into promising not to skip class, but he himself skipped class to enjoy himself. Such an Old Master is worse than a beast! When we play games tonight, I’m going to hang him up and stab him with scissors three thousand times!”
“Where’s the Cultivation Technique? Where’s the Cultivation Technique?? What about the Cultivation Technique he promised to teach us?? We study from dawn to dusk to increase our knowledge, so that we can pass the imperial examination in the future and bring glory to our ancestors! This Old Master, who spoke so earnestly about teaching us, is so negligent and lazy. He’s simply treating our future as child’s play!”
“I want to go out! It’s been raining for days, so there must be many fish, shrimp, eels, and frogs by the stream. The fishhooks and bamboo basket I hid in the reeds were prepared precisely for this kind of time… Damn Old Master, tonight, I’m going to chop him into pieces and use him to catch shrimp!”
“This Old Master appears loyal but is actually treacherous; he doesn’t deserve to be a teacher. Tonight, we’ll dismantle him, and tomorrow we’ll ask the Headmaster to replace him with another Old Master.”
“Exactly! This Wang Gao Teacher, must be cut into a thousand pieces. After class, we’ll report to the Headmaster and get a new Old Master!”
The students were partly Dislike of studying (disliking school) and partly Good at learning (eager to learn), but all were filled with hatred for Wang Gao.
They desperately wanted to find Wang Gao immediately and torment him in countless ways… However, at this moment, they could only sit in their seats, endlessly cursing…
※※※
Outside the Bing Character Classroom, the heavy rain continued to pour, the water hitting the eaves and creating a misty haze.
Rumble…
Purple lightning streaked across the sky, and the entire courtyard instantly burst into brilliant light, making the students’ faces appear even paler, their gazes, which looked over, hollow and empty.
The surrounding temperature seemed to drop sharply, and a chilling coldness assailed them in waves.
The students stared at them without a sound. Unbeknownst to them, an Old Master with white hair and beard, his green robe fluttering, appeared in the rain curtain of the courtyard, blocking the trio’s path. His eyes were deep as he spoke, “The examination isn’t over. Where are you going?”
Remember to vote after reading!
Only this update today. Can’t stay up late, going to sleep. Goodnight.
