The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 226: The Dilemma of Egret Academy

At the Bailu Academy in Licheng, Tang Tong opened his eyes, grabbed the air, and got a communication talisman. Then he smiled and said, "I thought he didn't want to do it, but now he has received the news." Tang Tong walked out of the training room and went directly to the dean's office to find the old dean. As soon as he arrived at the door of the office, he heard a "bang", followed by the old dean's full-throated scolding: "That hypocrite is too much! I will fight him now!" Tang Tong hurriedly entered the door and saw an elder reporting something to the old dean, who became angrier and angrier as he listened.

Tang Tong interrupted, "Brother Yang, what's the matter that makes you so angry? Tell me, I'll be happy~" Yang Hong glared and cursed, "What time is it, and you're still joking with me? You came just in time, come out and fight with me. Otherwise, I won't be able to swallow this anger!" Tang Tong said, "There's no rush to fight, you have to let me know what it is about, right?" The old dean glanced at the elder and said, "You tell me!" The elder wiped his sweat and said, "Vice Dean Tang, it's like this. Now is the time to recruit students, and several teams of our recruiting teams in major cities have disappeared inexplicably. Not to mention the loss of dozens of teachers, some of our original recruitment points have been snatched away by people from Seven Stars Academy. The plan to recruit 5000 students this year has not been completed even half of it yet." Without students, the school has no income, and without income, the salaries of school leaders like them cannot be paid.

Tang Tong touched his chin and said, "It seems that the Seven Stars Academy is planning to take action. This action is to dig out the roots of my White Egret Academy~" The old dean said angrily, "That's right! If it can't recruit students, is the academy still a college?" The elder continued, "Not only that, we have also had conflicts with people from the Seven Stars Academy at several enrollment points in Licheng. We have fought several battles, and each has won and lost." Yang Hong stood up and said angrily, "Why didn't you say it just now?! Let's go! I must kill them!" Tang Tong hurriedly grabbed Yang Hong and said, "Brother, it's useless to be anxious. Mu Chenxu alone can stop you. Who can you kill?" The old dean sat down again angrily, and Tang Tong ordered, "You go down and deal with things first, and our people will retreat first." The elder bowed and retreated.

Tang Tong looked at the angry old dean and said with a smile: "Brother, when will you change your temper?" Yang Hong said: "I have long wanted to cultivate my character, otherwise I will never be able to break through the refining realm! It's just that hypocrite is really annoying! I can't help it." Tang Tong said: "I have long wanted to destroy them, and this time the opportunity has come!" Yang Hong was shocked and quickly cast a ban and asked: "What opportunity?" Tang Tong said: "Do you remember the little brother I mentioned to you when I came back?" The old dean thought for a while and said: "The body cultivator?" Tang Tong nodded and said: "It's him. Chu Xuanji sent me a message just now, asking me to go to Qingxu Town, saying that the little brother has something to discuss with me. It should be about the Seven Star Academy."

Yang Hong wondered, "What's the use of having one more person? If we really fight with the Seven Stars Academy, having one more person can only hold back one more Divine Transformation cultivator." Tang Tong laughed, "Brother, you underestimated him. He is stronger than you and me! Even stronger than Chu Xuan Ji!" Yang Hong was shocked, "Is he really that powerful?" Tang Tong said, "Don't you believe my eyesight? In the last operation, even if Chu Xuan Ji and I didn't use our full strength, we used about 80% or 90% of it. On the contrary, he has been protecting Master Wu. He was at ease all the way, and in the end he saw through the conspiracy of Chu Hao and others and retreated unscathed. Moreover, he is only eighteen years old now, he is simply a monster!" Yang Hong said, "If it is really as you said, this person can only be befriended, not offended." Tang Tong said, "Of course I know this. This time I will go to Qingxu Town and will be back in three days at most. Please deal with the people from the Seven Stars Academy first, don't be impulsive."

In the guest room of Wanbao Pavilion in Qingxu Town, Pan Chengfeng was sleeping soundly with Qian'er in his arms. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The two subconsciously hurriedly dressed and combed their hair, and there was a commotion. Hong Yan's voice came from outside: "Brother Erniu, the Pavilion Master said that Fairy Zhong has come out and called you over." Pan Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, thank you, Sister Hong."

Hong Yan left, Qian'er said guiltily: "It's all your fault! You made me so scared. We said we should sleep separately, but you insisted on dragging me to stay with you." Pan Chengfeng said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? We will be legal husband and wife sooner or later, don't scare yourself all the time!" Qian'er suddenly smiled and pointed at the waistband of Pan Chengfeng's pants and said: "Yeah, aren't you afraid? Your pants are on backwards!"

Pan Chengfeng brought Qian'er to Chu Xuan Ji's cave and saw Aunt Zhong also sitting there. Qian'er immediately came forward, held Aunt Zhong's hand and said, "Aunt Zhong, are you okay?" Aunt Zhong stroked Qian'er's long hair and said, "Well, thanks to the elixir, I'm fine now. I just need to recuperate for a few more days." Then she looked up at Pan Chengfeng and said, "Thank you very much this time, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't live long." Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Look at what Aunt Zhong said. We are family and we don't have different opinions." Chu Xuan Ji also observed Pan Chengfeng and thought to herself, "This kid's Yuan Yang is not broken yet, and his Tao heart is very firm." In fact, Aunt Zhong also saw that Pan Chengfeng's Yuan Yang was still there, and he did not consummate the marriage with Qian'er while she was injured. He was a trustworthy person.

The two sat down, and Chu Xuanji said, "Brother Tang will be here soon. Their Bailu Academy was also bullied by Qixing Academy. Dean Yang was about to fight with Mu Chenxu, but fortunately Brother Tang stopped him. This time you two can be said to have hit it off." Pan Chengfeng said "Oh~" and asked, "Why? Qixing Academy took action against Bailu Academy?" Chu Xuanji nodded and said, "It was just some minor friction before, but this time it's serious. They actually want to cut off the source of students for Bailu Academy. This is already a naked provocation. So, Bailu Academy doesn't plan to continue to endure it."

Pan Chengfeng stroked his chin and said, "Mu Chenxu is not a fool. He won't do anything he is not sure of. I think it is the same as what my second brother judged. Chen Qi took action. He was the one who supported the Seven Stars Academy to annex the Egret Academy behind the scenes." Chu Xuanji nodded and said, "Dealing with the Zhong family should be a side job. I didn't expect that my brother-in-law is so strong. She actually fought one against three and beat them so hard that they couldn't raise their heads. That's why the peak of the Spiritualization Master had to take action."

Aunt Zhong was also pleased and said, "Yes, Qian'er has become several times stronger since she learned the 'Golden Crow Sacred Art'. It's no wonder that the Golden Crow Sage's skills were extremely powerful. It's a pity that the skills are too advanced and require extremely high skills. I can't learn them." Qian'er comforted her, "I will find a skill that suits Aunt Zhong. In fact, Aunt Zhong is not suitable for fire skills. The Zhong family didn't have a choice before, but now Aunt Zhong can slowly choose a skill that suits her."

Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "I have told Fairy Zhong before that she should be more suitable for water-based exercises, but she went to practice fire-based exercises, which is naturally a waste of time. In fact, the bloodline of the Zhong family is more suitable for water-based exercises."

Aunt Zhong said, "In fact, I have known about this for a long time, but the Zhong family only has one Spiritualization-level technique, and the others are all Nascent Soul-level. How can you break through to the Spiritualization stage without practicing the Heaven Burning Technique?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "It's just a Spiritualization technique. Second brother, please keep an eye out. There should be a Spiritualization-level water-based technique appearing soon." Chu Xuanji said, "Although water-based techniques are more popular, it's not easy to find a good one, and the price won't be low."

Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Brother, just keep an eye on it. The price is fine." Chu Xuanji said, "I will naturally keep an eye on Fairy Zhong's affairs. I will inform you in advance if there is any news." Aunt Zhong quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for troubling Pavilion Master Chu." Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. Fairy, there's no need to be polite."

Pan Chengfeng seemed to sense something was wrong with the two of them, so he smiled and said nothing. Qian'er asked, "Why didn't you see Senior Brother Mou?" Aunt Zhong also said, "Yes, I haven't thanked you in person yet." Pan Chengfeng explained, "Senior Brother Mou went out to do something and will be back in a few days. I will take him to the Zhong family as a guest then." Qian'er suddenly asked, "I don't know why you want to promote that branch of Xiujin Xiuhua?"

Pan Chengfeng said happily: "This matter is related to Senior Brother Mou. It is not clear in the communication talisman. Have you done it?" Qian'er said: "Qing'er is already doing it. It should be in the next few days. Their branches will move to Zhong Family Villa and all treatment will be the same as the direct lineage." Pan Chengfeng said happily: "That's good. My Senior Brother Mou is an honest man. Because of the master, he has not found a Taoist partner for more than a thousand years. I acted as a matchmaker for him, and the two sisters agreed. When they are promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, I will betroth them to Senior Brother Mou."

Aunt Zhong said hurriedly: "Is this true? Senior Brother Mou is a cultivator of the Refining Void Realm, would he be interested in those two girls? Chengfeng, don't lie to Aunt Zhong~" It's like a maid from a small family is favored by the prince, and he wants to marry her as his principal wife, not as a concubine. How can Aunt Zhong believe it so easily?

Pan Chengfeng said cheerfully: "There are many reasons that I can't explain in detail. But it is certain that Senior Brother Mou likes those two sisters, and they have no objection, that's all." It was impossible for Pan Chengfeng to say in front of several people how bad his master's reputation was, how high his vision was, and how he had delayed Senior Brother Mou for so many years. Alas, poor little wooden man.

Aunt Zhong said excitedly: "In this way, our Zhong family will have the background of the Yu Lei Sect. Let's see who dares to bully us in the future! Let Qing'er handle the matter of the two girls as soon as possible." Qian'er said: "It's almost done, Aunt Zhong, don't worry. Even some people in the family have opinions, saying that they are too flattering, saying that they are just..."

Aunt Zhong interrupted, "What else can those unfilial descendants do besides fighting for profit? Qian'er, just do what you want, don't worry about it." If the Zhong family doesn't hold on to this thigh, where can they find such a thigh in the future? Pan Chengfeng said, "Aunt Zhong, what I mean is that they are already the eldest daughters of the Zhong family. No one should say the word "maid" again, otherwise it will not only slap Senior Brother Mou in the face, but also lose face for the Yu Lei Sect~" Aunt Zhong said solemnly, "I understand. Some things still need me to come forward in person."
