"no?"
Shang Yanting frowned slightly. "The real name of True Lord Baiyu is Lu Jue. He is an orphan. He was adopted and educated by the former dean of Yimeng Academy. He is 324 years old this year, which should be true."
He recited the person's information as if it were his own treasure, then denied it, saying, "So this 'old' doesn't actually refer to age."
Besides age... there's also appearance.
At this moment, some people are guessing, and some are trembling.
Even after all this, Shang Yanting still hasn't stopped.
"It is said that Lu Jue was once the number one genius of Yimeng Academy, and reached the Martial Grandmaster realm at the age of thirty-five. The Martial Grandmaster realm not only increases strength and extends lifespan, but also allows one to remain young forever. His strength is far beyond that of the Martial Grandmaster realm, and he is only over three hundred years old, so he should not look so old."
“Dear host, he is over three hundred years old, so please don’t use the word ‘only’.”
Jia Xitong tried to change the subject, but to no avail.
"Rumors circulate that his cultivation suffered a mishap, causing him to turn white-haired and aged overnight, which seems unbelievable. Perhaps he used some secret method to make himself appear old, and just a few days ago he accidentally revealed his true appearance, which you then saw."
Jia Xitong didn't say anything, but he knew everything.
"Senior Bai Yu, I'm sorry!" It's really not her fault; it's just that Shang Yanting is too strong!
"You're still thinking about that senior Bai Yu? I heard he was the most handsome man in Yimeng Academy when he was young. He certainly has a lot of charm."
Shang Yanting crossed his arms, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Despite their constant vigilance, they ultimately failed to prevent even a disguised person from being caught.
"You're now keeping secrets from me and keeping someone else's secret? That's impressive. Is he more important to you than me?"
Is he angry?
He's angry!
Despite his seemingly magnanimous appearance, Shang Yanting, as the head of the hospital, is actually petty and narrow-minded.
Jia Xitong quickly stepped forward to explain, "Of course you're more important than him. I only kept his secret because I agreed to someone else's request."
"You're going to keep secrets from me? Don't rush to explain. First, tell me, wasn't Bai Yu Zhenjun handsome when he was young?"
"...It doesn't look good."
If you give a nice answer now, you're doomed.
Jia Xitong said against her will, "Senior Bai Yu was just like that when he was young. He had a head of white hair and looked a bit old. In my eyes, the most beautiful one is definitely the host. No one else can compare to him even if they ride the Water Cloud Boat."
"Hmph, sweet talk."
Shang Yanting snorted coldly. This matter wasn't over yet. "If he contacts you in the future, I must be present. It's best if he doesn't contact you at all!"
How could that be?
Bai Yu Zhenjun is a person who possesses a Thousand-Mile Transmission Talisman.
That evening, Jia Xitong was called over from across the street.
Shang Yanting stood beside her, looking at her as if he were catching his wife cheating. Jia Xitong, for the first time, used a communication talisman, her usual composure gone.
"Young friend Fu, are you alright?"
Concerned inquiries came from Baiyu Zhenjun's side.
"Okay, very good!"
Jia Xitong quickly replied, "I'm just a little tired from the long journey. Senior Baiyu, you should get some rest too."
Shang Yanting looked away with an expression that said, "That's more like it."
"Since you're tired, take a good rest. Go see your disciples early tomorrow. I heard from Huo Rui that your newly accepted disciple has come to see you several times."
Gao Xiang?
Jia Xitong's attention was immediately drawn elsewhere. "What does he want with me?"
Could it be that the other three students also drew three Sumeru talismans?
"What's the use of asking me? You'll know once you go and see for yourself tomorrow."
Shang Yanting glanced at her and said.
Too.
Life always needs a little surprise.
Jia Xitong fell asleep with anticipation.
The next day, she went to the place where her disciples usually studied early in the morning.
She thought she was early, but the three lazy students were even earlier than her. Keep in mind, they didn't live on Xianlong Peak; it takes at least an hour to get there from the schoolhouse.
It takes so much time to commute, and I still arrive earlier than Teacher Tong who gets up early.
"You guys are so diligent."
Did they know she had class this morning?
As she spoke, she walked around their tables, noticing that the talismans they had drawn were quite impressive. Gou You, in particular, had a completed Susanoo talisman and several successful Explosion talismans on his table.
The other two are also quite good.
Although no successful Mi Su talismans were obtained, several successful Explosion talismans, Zhu You talismans, and Solidification talismans were still obtained.
"Everyone has made great progress recently."
Jia Xitong praised them verbally, but was also very curious about why they had suddenly become so motivated.
Could it be that this strategy, which only involved accepting one disciple, inspired their ambition?
You're still quite sought after!
Jia Xitong was smugly pleased with herself as she was absorbed in her own reasoning.
On the other side
A figure slowly approached her, and then an excited voice came from beside her ear, "Master, you're finally back! Your disciple has finally waited for you!"
The longing and anticipation were palpable in his voice.
Do you miss her that much?
Jia Xitong turned to look at Gao Xiang, whose expression was even more excited than his voice. "Disciple, your master only went out for a trip, not went through eighty-one tribulations to obtain the scriptures from the West."
"You're finally back!"
You're back just in time.
I happened to arrive during an academic exchange by a master of talismans.
Gao Xiang took out his magic talisman and found several well-organized schedules within it. "Academic forums aren't held every day, but there are three this month!"
We've already missed two; the next two are in two days.
"Master, I've registered you for both of those jobs, so you can go now."
Gao Xiang's excited expression left Jia Xitong somewhat confused. "Xiao Xiang, what are you talking about?"
"Teacher Tong, we've discovered that you're not even a Level D teacher yet, and everyone is worried about you."
Gou You helped Gao Xiang say, "Especially my senior brother. During the days you were away from Xianlong Peak, he inquired about information everywhere, hoping to help you on your path to promotion."
What is a Level D teacher?
What is a promotion?
Jia Xitong looked at them with a blank expression. What were they talking about?
"Master, please don't be moved. As your disciple, it is my duty to care about your career."
Gao Xiang carefully planned for her from the side: "The conditions for becoming a Ding-level teacher are particularly simple for you. You only need to attend five more decent cultivation exchange meetings. Five meetings are nothing. We'll try to get them done in three months and get your name on the academy's management handbook."
Three months?
Isn't it supposed to be half a year?
Gou You, who had witnessed the entire process of Gao Xiang's plan, looked at the energized Gao Xiang and didn't dare to speak for a moment.
After all, it's better to provoke the teacher than to provoke them.
He silently lowered his head and drew talismans, hoping that Teacher Tong would work hard and not disappoint his senior brother.
---Aside---
Jia Xitong: ...Listen to me, thank you.
