Chapter 79: Chapter 74: The Shocked Yu Longqing_2
“Okay!” Xiaoyu nodded.
She did not know her father’s intentions in doing so, but since he spoke so seriously, he must have his reasons. It was best just to comply strictly.
“How about this, in tomorrow’s class, I will also come and see if I can listen in. If I find any flaws or loopholes in his explanations, I will explain them to you in the evening. Then… the next day, you can pretend to ask him for advice and explain it to him!”
Yu Longqing said.
This genius, having just started practicing, even if extraordinarily talented, couldn’t possibly match the understanding of the cultivation method that someone like him, who had immersed himself for decades, possessed. This kind of well-intentioned reminder, which he might not understand at first, would likely be deeply appreciated by him once his cultivation increased and he realized the intention behind today’s actions.
In this way, a favor would naturally be owed!
Xiaoyu furrowed her brows: “But tomorrow is not an open class, and Mr. Zhang might not let you in…”
Yu Longqing smiled: “If he doesn’t let me in, then I will just wait outside, there’s always a way. If it doesn’t work out, you can take notes and show them to me later!”
“All right!”
Xiaoyu nodded again.
While Yu Longqing and Xiaoyu discussed this in the room, Liu Mingyue was sitting cross-legged on her bed in the dormitory, continuously absorbing Origin qi.
The pure strength flowed through her meridians, producing a sound like rushing water, gradually filling the once empty Source Pool.
“Using the Cold-Backed Turtle to ignite the Pinnacle Furnace… seems to make no difference compared to using the Lingyun Beast!”
Liu Mingyue paused, remembering the day’s events, her eyes showing deep confusion: “Could it be… this Mr. Zhang is not only not useless but is actually a very capable teacher? No, impossible! He was clearly a subordinate, he had no cultivation at all yesterday, and he even bet with me…”
Thinking of the competition at the school gate the day before aggravated her.
Not only did it make her lose face, but it also tricked her out of her thousand-li horse!
She touched her cheek…
Though the hoof print had disappeared, it was still red and swollen…
“Dao Li, you traitorous thing…”
Thinking of that horse made her even angrier.
This was a horse that she had begged her father, Liu Tianzheng, to buy from Baiyan Horse Farm after hearing Mo Yanxue had acquired Suxiang. He had run there personally, spending a high price and much effort.
Being a war horse from the battlefield, it had cost nearly three times as much as Suxiang, over three hundred thousand Origin Currency!
And now it was gone…
“If Dad knew that the thousand-li horse he bought with so much effort was taken by a Miscellaneous Duties Teacher, he would definitely get angry…”
The more she thought about it, the worse her mood became.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t I say that the Miscellaneous Duties Teacher forcefully took Dao Li away? That way, my father will trouble him. Not only will that make this guy lose face, but he might also find me a more formidable teacher… Yes, that’s what I’ll do!”
Deciding this, Liu Mingyue hesitated no longer and called the coachman over, carefully instructing him with a few words.
After the coachman left, she still felt unsatisfied, and another idea popped into her head.
“With my dad’s temperament, once he comes here, there will definitely be a commotion. Since the relationship will be ruined anyway, I might as well upset him first as a form of revenge…”
“What annoys a teacher the most? Naturally, it is when, no matter how much they explain, the students just let it in one ear and out the other, understanding nothing at all! So, whatever he says tomorrow, I’ll just act like I don’t understand, can’t learn… I’ll literally infuriate him to death!”
“Hehe, I’m truly brilliant. Just like that.”
Liu Mingyue was thoroughly pleased with herself.
She could already imagine that Miscellaneous Duties Teacher’s face, about to explode as she tormented him…
…
In the room of the Liu Clan, one of the three premier clans in Baiyan City, where the clan head resided, the lights were bright.
“What did you say? Mingyue has been taken in as a student by a Miscellaneous Duties Teacher?”
Clan Head Liu Tianzheng slapped the table and stood up, his gaze filled with anger.
He was Liu Mingyue’s father and always doted on his daughter, wishing he could pluck the stars from the sky for her. However, upon her arrival at the academy, not only did School Head Lu refuse to take her in but assigned her to a Miscellaneous Duties Teacher… What, do you look down on the Liu Clan, look down on me, Liu Tianzheng?
“Yes, Miss Liu washes her face with tears every day, crying every night, ever hoping that the clan head will seek justice for her!”
Wang Yuxing hurriedly said, “Moreover… Miss seems to have been beaten. When I saw her today during the day, her face was swollen and red, and in some places, there were even traces of blood…”
Young Master Chen Hao had instructed him to make the story sound even more tragic, naturally to embellish a bit. However, what he said was true, as Liu Mingyue’s face did look somewhat swollen during the day, and there was even a faint imprint of a circular seal, its origin unknown…
“They dared to hit my daughter?”
Liu Tianzheng’s fury ignited, ready to inquire further when he saw the butler rushing in hurriedly, “Clan head, Miss’s coachman, requests an audience outside!”
Liu Tianzheng said, “Didn’t he accompany Mingyue to the academy? Let him in!”
Soon, the coachman entered the room and immediately knelt down, relaying Liu Mingyue’s instructions in detail, “Elder, Miss has been bullied, even her thousand-li horse has been snatched away by others…”
“You mean that Miscellaneous Duties Teacher, not only forced Mingyue to become his student but also forcibly demanded the Dao Li as an Apprentice Gift?”
If there were some doubts about Wang Yuxing’s words, now that his daughter had sent someone herself, Liu Tianzheng no longer harbored any doubts. Enraged to the point his face turned green, he felt like exploding:
“A mere Miscellaneous Duties Teacher, a waste who only got into the academy through connections, dares to be so presumptuous! Go back and tell Mingyue that I will personally visit Baiyan Academy tomorrow, overturn his desk, and make him understand that to step on the Liu Clan to boost his own reputation… is just a dream!”
When it involves his daughter, no father would want to endure, nor could he.
The person I cherish like a treasure, I cannot even bear to scold her, let alone have her bullied by a nobody. Who could stand that…
“Yes!”
The coachman and Wang Yuxing both nodded, their eyes lit up.
Having angered the Liu Clan head so greatly, it didn’t need much thought to know that this Miscellaneous Duties Teacher…was finished!
…
After a night of practice, Zhang Xuan’s meridians were all connected, finally reaching the pinnacle of the Accumulative Realm, and he was on the verge of breaking through at any moment.
“It seems I need to find a cultivation method suitable for the Physique Realm, Fourthfold of Source Pool Realm… Cultivation method is easy to find, but Heavenly Mandate Vitality is not easy to come by…”
Zhang Xuan frowned.
As a teacher at the academy, he could freely browse the Book Collection Vault. Just the day before yesterday, he had seen not only books on the Physique Realm but also those on the Muscle Membrane Realm and the Viscera Realm, all of which he could peruse at any time.
But…of what use is just looking?
Without sufficient Heavenly Mandate Vitality, he couldn’t incorporate it into the Library of Heaven’s Path, naturally wouldn’t be able to generate a flawless Heaven’s Path Divine Art, and thus, couldn’t practice!
So… today he needs to find some time to ask School Head Lu if the Source Pool evaluation is still ongoing, allowing him to mooch a little, rest assured, just mooching, he definitely won’t enter!
As he stepped out of his room, preparing to wash up, a knock was heard from outside the door.
Moments later, Hong Yi, the student he took in yesterday, entered: “Zhang laoshi, the classroom has already been cleaned. Is there anything you need me to do here? I’m free before class, I can help…”
For someone without even a chance to apprentice, he cherished this opportunity greatly. Although the other party was just a Miscellaneous Duties Teacher, the fact that he helped him ignite the Pinnacle Furnace alone showed extraordinary strength.
Thus, he did not have the mindset of Liu Mingyue or Yu Xiaoyu, and genuinely respected the man in front of him, hence he went to the classroom early in the morning and finished cleaning it all, now running over here to also sweep the teacher’s courtyard.
“I have already made arrangements here, no need for your help…”
Zhang Xuan was pleased with his attitude and continued with his own affairs.
“Yes!”
Hong Yi breathed a sigh of relief, found a stone bench to sit on in the courtyard, and had just sat down when he saw a large horse, with a mop in its mouth, not far away, laboriously mopping the floor, leaving the courtyard spotlessly clean.
Seeing him look over, it split its mouth into a smile.
“???”
Hong Yi was stunned in place.
Zhang laoshi, your so-called arrangement… involves letting the horse mop the floor?
