In the time that followed, Shang Yanting really didn't cause Jin Yangfeng any more trouble.

Every day, he either practices his skills and studies puppets indoors, or goes to the library to explore all the places on the fifth and sixth floors that are not open to the public.

Outside Qing Shuang Peak

News of Yan Qing being punished with confinement had already spread throughout the college.

The other disciples from other peaks, having gleaned the whole story from the angry snippets of conversation from their fellow disciples on Qing Shuang Peak, deduced the true nature of the matter.

It turns out that the disciples of Jinyang Peak are the most untouchable people;

It turns out that geniuses are worthless in the face of power.

The eight great families are actually the ones controlling the Holy Capital Academy...

In particular, the fact that the main character of the incident has remained hidden on Qing Shuang Peak and has not appeared again has made everyone even more convinced that this incident has really dealt a huge blow to Yan Qing.

##

Niu Chuanchuan, who was focused on practicing martial arts, suddenly received a message from Shang Yanting.

After leaving the Refining Heart Pavilion that day, he didn't dare go back to his dormitory and stayed in the grove for many days. It wasn't until the Qi-Consolidating Pill he took took effect that he broke through to the Martial Realm in one fell swoop!

Then……

He killed Liu Hao and the others as Yan Qing had instructed!

Just as Yan Qing said, the academy wouldn't even bother with the death of a few insignificant disciples. He was freed, but at the cost of abandoning his former kindness and burying a deeper fear in his heart.

However, he also knew very well that if he hadn't chosen to listen to Yan Qing, he would have been the one to die.

He always felt that Yan Qing was a more terrifying person than Liu Hao and the others, and definitely not as described in the rumors.

A mixture of gratitude and fear towards Shang Yanting filled Niu Chuanchuan with immense awe. "Yan Qing, what brings you here?"

"I've heard that your Tianwu Peak has a self-governing association?"

"yes."

"I hope you can join this self-governing association."

Me?

Niu Chuanchuan was taken aback.

The self-governing association is a unique product of their Tianwu Peak.

The reason is that there are too many disciples on Tianwu Peak, the peak master is too engrossed in cultivation to manage them, and there are too few teachers to keep an eye on them. Over time, a group of students founded this organization.

However, this organization does not uphold fairness and justice in Tianwu Peak; rather, those who join the organization can be the first to receive various benefits.

The self-governing association is not a place that can be entered casually.

You either need connections, or you need the ability to break through to the Martial Master level, or you need to challenge existing members and push them out.

Niu Chuanchuan has little contact with this organization and has no connection to it whatsoever. Moreover, his current strength is only average.

"Don't worry about your strength, this is for you."

Shang Yanting took out two unsigned manuals and techniques, saying, "You don't need to practice the martial arts and techniques you've been cultivating before. From now on, focus on these two."

Niu Chuanchuan took the manuals and glanced at the contents of the two books. They were actually top-quality mental and physical techniques!

"I hope to hear good news from you within two months."

Shang Yanting patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.

His eyes were clearly gentle, but Niu Chuanchuan felt an invisible pressure from them.

Niu Chuanchuan shivered involuntarily under his gaze. "Yan, I will try my best to get into the student council."

"It is necessary."

Shang Yanting emphasized to him, "Don't keep me waiting too long."

Staying up all night to write a guide for my best friend.

Cheer on your good friend.

Is this the pure friendship between the host and his family?

What merit does Niu Chuanchuan possess to deserve such care from the host?

Jia Xitong, who witnessed the whole thing, had an extremely thick filter, automatically interpreting Shang Yanting's behavior as cold on the outside but kind on the inside.

If he used that energy to pursue girls...

Oh well, never mind.

She comforted herself by telling herself not to set her expectations too high.

Besides Niu Niu, he also made an appointment with Liang Ting.

After the incident at Wanbaoge, the manager immediately wrote back to Zhaocheng, and Liang Ting traveled a long distance to come.

As soon as they reached the top floor of Wanbaoge, they heard Liang Ting's angry voice, "I told you to keep a low profile and make appropriate concessions, did you all just ignore what I said?"

Wanbaoge might be a local tyrant in Zhaocheng, but within Shengdu Academy, they're nothing more than earthworms. Businessmen like them, with no real connections, aren't most afraid of their competitors; they're most afraid of those in power!

Aristocratic families are synonymous with power, and advanced martial arts practitioners are synonymous with power.

If they were to get serious, Wanbaoge would be overwhelmed.

"Boss Liang."

When Shang Yanting heard him stop his hysterical cursing, he stroked the bald raccoon in his arms and spoke up to remind him.

"It's Young Master Yan!"

Liang Ting's initially furious expression instantly turned warm, and she went out with a beaming smile to welcome him in, saying, "Thank you so much for what happened at Wanbaoge last time."

This ability to change one's expression in a second truly demonstrates the qualities of a future top merchant.

"Yeah?"

Shang Yanting looked at him, "But I heard Boss Liang get really angry just now."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ting's face instantly turned distressed. "To be honest, Wanbaoge is just an ordinary shop. Now that we've offended the merchants, we're afraid we won't be able to continue operating."

Shang Yanting would never believe it.

A person who can thrive in Zhaocheng, even if his power is not as great as the eight great families, is not as weak as he claims.

"Mr. Liang, I'm here to discuss cooperation."

Shang Yanting interrupted him, "Don't you want to have a place in Holy Capital Academy, or even in the entire Dongxu Kingdom?"

"I just want to be an honest and upright businessman..."

Liang Ting had an air of self-righteous indifference.

"I, Yan, have come sincerely to discuss cooperation. Since Mr. Liang is not interested, I will take my leave now."

Shang Yanting picked up Jia Xitong and prepared to leave.

"etc."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Liang Ting immediately stopped complaining and gave the steward beside her a wink.
