Before Zhang Zhao could finish speaking, Xiao Qiang shut him up with the words "my mentor is Jing Hongchen".

His father was the Chief Censor and Junior Minister of the Ministry of Rites, which was already a very high position. If this position was placed in Xiao Qiang's previous life, it could almost be called the level of a vice-prefect. But on Jing Hongchen's side, it was only in the first echelon even at the national level.

As a counterpart to Master Xuan, Jing Hongchen is the second most important figure in the Sun-Moon Empire. Even the crown prince and the emperor have to call Jing Hongchen the Master of Hongchen Hall and give him great respect.

Therefore, when Zhang Zhao heard the words "mentor Jing Hongchen", his anger stopped halfway.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Zhang Zhao spoke clearly and was much more cautious. "Excuse me, you said your teacher is the head of Hongchen Hall, can you let me see the proof?"

Xiao Qiang took out the token representing his identity as Jing Hongchen's disciple. Xiao Qiang handed it over with one hand, and Zhang Zhao took it with both hands and lowered his head.

After taking a look, he handed his hands back to her, and then his face was filled with a flattering smile.

"You are so great that the Red Dust Hall Master accepted you as his disciple. You should know that the Red Dust Hall Master is so high that he can only accept one disciple from a million. I didn't expect that you are such an outstanding person. I am so disrespectful."

"No problem. I need you to help me deliver something to Bai Qingshan, the vice president of the East China Sea Junior Soul Instructor Academy. The sooner you deliver it, the better."

Xiao Qiang took out a storage soul guide and handed it over. Zhang Zhao took it with both hands and said solemnly, "Please rest assured, I will personally deliver this soul guide and I guarantee there won't be any problems at all."

"Well, there is also a soul communication device in there that can transmit over long distances. When you deliver this thing, remember to ask him to call me to confirm."

"Yes, I remember. Any other instructions?"

"No more, just send it as soon as possible."

After finishing the instructions, Xiao Qiang walked out of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Transport Team.

Looking at Zhang Zhao who drove away from Mingdu City quickly and then flew up to the sky, "I hope he can get here soon. I'm afraid Uncle Bai's life will not be too good during this period."

…………

In the Donghai City of the Sun-Moon Empire, in the Donghai Junior Soul Instructor Academy.

"You want another salary advance? Bai Qingshan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this is a bit too much." Zhao Yuanbu, the dean of the East China Junior Soul Instructor Academy, said while knocking on the table.

Bai Qingshan, who was standing on the other side of the table, looked at the principal who was more than 20 years younger than him and smiled shyly. "Dean, this is the last time, just this once, please be flexible."

"Make concessions? In the past two years, when haven't you asked me to make concessions? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but Xiao Qiang is not your son, so why are you trying so hard to help him? If you weren't a food-type soul master and a fourth-level soul mentor, you might have had trouble even eating because of the help you gave him, right?"

Bai Qingshan remained silent. Listening to the principal's words, he felt like cursing. Why did he help Xiao Qiang so much? It was all because of this principal.

Bai Qingshan reached the level of soul master at the age of ten with the innate second-level soul power. He first studied at the East China Sea Junior Soul Instructor College, and then returned to the East China Sea Junior Soul Instructor College as a teacher after graduation.

What was the result? It turned out that Zhao Yuanbu had no moral principles. He relied on his status as the grandson of the eldest elder of the Zhao family, one of the three major families in Donghai City, and had never been a teacher for a day. He also had no relationship with the Donghai Junior Soul Instructor Academy. He suddenly parachuted in here and took over the class of the previous dean.

He had already been promoted to vice-president and was about to take over as dean, but he was pushed into the position of vice-president by an airdrop.

At that moment he realized that to get involved in the world, one must have power and background.

Without power and background, if he is not appointed as vice president, who will be appointed as vice president?

But Bai Qingshan was born into a commoner family, and he couldn't even find a slightly larger family.

And just at this moment, Xiao Qiang came.

Xiao Qiang proposed a plan to him, that he would supply Xiao Qiang with training resources until he was fourteen years old. When Xiao Qiang was in his twenties, he would have almost grown up, and Xiao Qiang could become his background at that time.

Considering that he probably would not be able to reach level 50 in this lifetime, coupled with Xiao Qiang's innate level 5 soul power, and the power of his original martial soul that he had heard about.

Bai Qingshan, who had just been taught that to get ahead in life, one must have power and background, hesitated for only a moment before choosing to help Xiao Qiang and accepting his proposal.

After all, at that time he thought that he had nothing to lose, and even if he could get any worse, it wouldn't be that bad. It wasn't until the last two years, because Xiao Qiang needed the cultivation resources, he sold everything he could at home, and he still owed a lot of debts, that he realized that he could actually get a little worse.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Fortunately, when his money was almost gone, Xiao Qiang was only two years away from turning fourteen, otherwise Bai Qingshan didn’t know how he would survive with such a money-eating beast.

"I think you are the same. You just give him whatever he wants. You are such a rigid person. If you had said that you were not capable enough and downgraded his resources, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Take your clothes. You seemed to be wearing this when I first saw you. You haven't changed them for many years. You must have sold your house and the shops at home, as well as your soul guides. You have gone bankrupt and are now in debt just for a kid who has no blood relationship with you. Is that really worth it?"

"Besides, you are also a four-ring soul master, a fourth-level soul engineer. Don't you know how many resources he wants? I only used half of the resources he wanted, but I added three servants to my Zhao family. You, a fourth-level soul engineer, were actually controlled by him. It's really embarrassing."

Zhao Yuanbu lit a cigar and continued, as the dean and a member of the Zhao family in Donghai City, he was actually the first person Xiao Qiang approached to ask for resources. However, because the resources Xiao Qiang wanted were too many, he refused without hesitation.

Bai Qingshan shook his head. "There is one thing that Xiao Qiang said that I agree with. You can't raise a phoenix with chicken feed. It's not possible to expect a high return with negligible costs."

Zhao Yuanbu sneered. "You really expect him to give you something in return? Don't fool yourself. Even if he grows up one day, how many years can you live by then? The life span of a soul master is indeed longer than that of an ordinary person, but you are already over fifty, right? Even if he gives you something, you probably won't be able to use it."

"Face the reality. He can't give you anything, and he may not even intend to give you anything. If he can give you something really good within ten years..."

Zhao Yuanbu said this and knocked on the table in front of him.

“I’ll just eat this table.”
