No matter what, fortunately, Mu Hanyan is not the stubborn person as imagined. No matter how difficult this kind of person is, he is just a little greedy. There is always a way to deal with him. Pang Dezong felt much more relaxed and drank a sip of tea to calm himself down.
"Isn't Senior Pang a master of alchemy? How about this, if you have any top-quality alchemy treasures, just give me ten or eight of them." Mu Hanyan was not polite and made the request directly.
"Puff!" Pang Dezong spat out a mouthful of tea. He hadn't even gotten over the shock of the previous moment when he was met with an even bigger shock. "Do you think alchemy is just like forging iron? Can you just do it? Putting aside the precious meteorite gold ore, just the complexity and tediousness of refining it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. And there are even ten or eight of them? You might as well just rob them… Oh, and this guy's asking for an exorbitant price is almost like robbing."
"Mu Hanyan, you are so shameless that you are blackmailing my uncle." At this moment, Zhao Sining's angry voice rang out.
Of course, he wouldn't give up on Miss Zhao Si just because of Mu Hanyan's prevarications, so he hid outside and eavesdropped. Seeing that his most respected uncle was repeatedly frustrated by Mu Hanyan and was forced into a corner by him, he was even more furious and couldn't help but jump out.
"Si Ning, what are you doing in here?" Seeing Zhao Si Ning rushing in without his instructions, Pang Dezong was not angry, but spoke to him in a friendly manner.
"Uncle-master, don't pay attention to him. Mu Hanyan is despicable and shameless. He is clearly asking for an exorbitant price. The worst that can happen is that we fight him to the death." Zhao Sining said angrily.
"Si Ning, you go out first. Your uncle has his own ideas about this matter." Pang Dezong said with a headache.
A fight to the death? If possible, he wouldn't mind fighting Mu Hanyan to the death. In fact, given the huge gap in strength between the two, even if a hundred small fish like Mu Hanyan died, he still wouldn't be able to break the net. But the problem was, if he couldn't break it, Zhengying Academy would be broken.
He had struggled his entire life, finally reaching his current position. He had even served as Dean during the time the Dean was in seclusion. If the Dean ever met with an accident or passed away, he could very well take over. In Anyun Country, the Deans of the four major academies held an extremely high and transcendent status, requiring even the ruler to treat them with respect. How could he possibly want to see Zhengying Academy destroyed because of this incident?
Zhao Sining fell silent. He had said the desperate words in a moment of impulse, but he was not really a fool. How could he not know Pang Dezong's good intentions?
However, if Mu Hanyan got what she wanted, he would never be willing to do so.
"Uncle-master, there is one more thing I haven't had time to report to you." Zhao Sining's eyes lit up and he said to Pang Dezong.
"Go ahead." Pang Dezong just wanted to get rid of Mu Hanyan as soon as possible and didn't want to chat with him, but he had always been fond of Zhao Sining and couldn't get angry with him, so he could only speak patiently.
Zhao Sining leaned over to Pang Dezong's ear and whispered about the disappearance of Miss Zhao Si. He had never thought that Miss Zhao Si would be in trouble, so he had not had time to report the matter to Pang Dezong. However, now that he could not find her and did not want Mu Hanyan to succeed, he quickly told her.
"One of the important purposes of Lingxian's participation in the trial this time is to get rid of Mu Hanyan. In order to help her, I also invited Yan Yuchu from the Yan family. Now Lingxian is missing, but Yan Yuchu has gotten involved with Mu Hanyan. If I'm not mistaken, Mu Hanyan must have used some shameful means to bribe Yan Yuchu, and Lingxian was most likely killed by them." Finally, Zhao Sining said with a look of grief and indignation.
