Chapter 121 The Couple's Guesses
Sun Zhangtian leaned back on the soft couch, his mind racing with calculations.
Although Wu Shaogan is no longer a threat, it's not time to reap his fortune yet.
Wu Shaogan has acquired a lot of foundation from the top level of the Heavenly Rank two days ago, and his potential is also very good. So, just as Sun Zhangtian said when he was fooling Luo Zixiao, his current realm is the same as Wu Shaogan's, but he may not necessarily be able to beat Wu Shaogan.
Of course, Sun Zhangtian had traveled through multiple worlds and believed himself to be experienced enough to overpower Wu Shaogan. However, he was also well aware that although he had absorbed a large amount of resources provided by Luo Zixiao when he was at the peak of the Palace Opening Realm, his accumulated foundation was still not as deep as Wu Shaogan's, who had encountered numerous fortuitous events. This would be a disadvantage in a war of attrition.
For now, Sun Zhangtian only needs to seek refuge under Luo Zixiao's name and, as Luo Zixiao requests, engage in a fair and square confrontation with Wu Shaogan.
Sun Zhangtian's plan was to follow the original plan and challenge Wu Shaogan on the Hidden Dragon List when he reached the peak of his enlightenment, win the battle, and then ascend to the Azure Dragon List before Wu Shaogan.
After successfully suppressing Wu Shaogan several times in a row, Wu Shaogan's good fortune will flow to his grandson Zhangtian.
·
Sun Zhangtian had considered doing something underhanded, but after much deliberation, he decided it wasn't feasible for the time being.
After all, Wu Shaogan had already become Jiang Chongguang's disciple, and Jiang Chongguang later became a Nirvana Master, even a powerful figure with the potential to reach the heavens, and was extremely domineering and strong.
The instructors at Canglong Academy are always generous to their resident disciples—Luo Zixiao has so many disciples, and they've given him quite a few good things. In the story, Jiang Chongguang has never taken on any disciples before, but now he's willing to accept Wu Shaogan, so he'll definitely provide him with even more defensive measures.
Sun Zhangtian gently tapped his fingers, deep in thought.
He needs to be even more wary of Zhong Cai.
·
While investigating Wu Shaogan, Sun Zhangtian also obtained all the information about Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai became a disciple of Sang Yunchu, the most powerful seventh-level alchemist. Sang Yunchu was a ninth-level alchemist mentioned only briefly in the story and seemed to have never taken on any disciples.
When Sun Zhangtian investigated Zhong Cai's alchemy skills, he unsurprisingly discovered that Zhong Cai had an exceptionally high talent in this area—a talent that could attract Sang Yunchu was naturally extraordinary.
Given this, Sang Yunchu will definitely care a lot about Zhong Cai and protect him in every way.
Zhong Cai also knows the plot.
Even though the plot has changed a lot now, he still needs to keep his performance somewhat understated.
Zhong Cai will definitely be a stumbling block for him to suppress Wu Shaogan!
Therefore, Sun Zhangtian further concluded that the only way to suppress Wu Shaogan at present was through open means.
·
Sun Zhangtian may look down on two love-obsessed people, but he won't look down on Jiang Chongguang and Sang Yunchu.
However, Sun Zhangtian will eventually kill Zhong Cai, remove this stumbling block, and steal his luck.
Although Zhong Cai transmigrated into the body of an extremely marginal character who originally had no luck whatsoever, after becoming Sang Yunchu's disciple, his luck would greatly increase, making him valuable to plunder.
In addition, Wu Shaogan also brought the protagonist Wu Dongxiao to Canglong Academy. The protagonist has missed several opportunities, but judging from his current situation, the protagonist is now actually very lucky, even stronger than in the original story.
Let's stick to the old approach and start by weakening the protagonist's harem support...
The protagonist is too young to compete with him in this aspect, which saves a lot of trouble.
He needs to establish his reputation first, and although his luck has increased somewhat because he is now under Luo Zixiao's tutelage, the boost is not significant.
The only women the protagonist can secure in his harem right now are those with whom he has had fleeting affairs, but who have provided him with valuable clues.
He was able to use those clues, comparing them with the plot description, to find the location of the adventure...
Then gradually improve your luck.
There are still eleven or twelve years before the main character's story truly unfolds, so he can have more opportunities to act in the meantime...
·
Sun Zhangtian pondered it over and over.
Currently, both Luo Zixiao's thoughts and his identity as a strategist are kept in the shadows.
Let's stick to the old rules.
Since Wu Shaogan and Zhong Cai are already inquiring about him, we might as well take this opportunity to make friends with them.
If it were anyone else who considered themselves upright, Sun Zhangtian wouldn't have had this thought.
But Wu Shaogan is someone who sees everything as insignificant, so why would he be afraid of disapproving?
If Zhong Cai, with her love-struck mind, could let her beloved be crippled, then other fictional characters would be even less likely to care.
Sun Zhangtian thought there was no problem.
Perhaps he can invite them to have some fun together later.
I also learned more about the two of them.
Once the relationship has deepened, he can try to find an opportunity to make his move.
·
In the stands of the hidden arena.
After Zhang Si finished telling everything he knew, he quietly shut up.
Zhong Cai's face grew increasingly grim.
That Sun Zhangtian is really good at manipulating people's hearts by crossing the line.
He truly had no means other than bribery. The few wrestlers who refused the enormous temptations have remained unscathed, and some even wanted to accept the invitation, only to be rejected by Sun Zhangtian. This seems to further prove Sun Zhangtian's casual attitude. He doesn't force anyone; he makes people willing, but the opportunity is only once.
All the fighters who accepted the invitation and survived made rapid progress by utilizing the resources provided by Sun Zhangtian.
As a result, some wavering wrestlers chose to accept the invitation more often.
The dead fighters may have had some kind of agreement with Sun Zhangtian. After their bodies disappeared, there were some rumors circulating, but no one complained.
Although only two cultivators survived after accepting multiple invitations, neither of them suffered irreversible damage. In fact, once they recovered from their injuries, they were able to continue their cultivation.
Especially the rogue cultivator, Fist of Fury, because he is the most daring to fight, he obtains the most resources. In addition, he was already at the peak of the Enlightenment realm, and it is likely that he will be able to break through to the Suspended Illumination realm after his injuries are healed!
·
Zhong Cai had seen many disgusting people, but Sun Zhangtian was truly unique in his disgust.
If he and Lao Wu were still traveling, and encountered such people, they would naturally kill them if they couldn't stand them, without needing to find any excuse.
But right now, there's nothing they can do about Sun Zhangtian.
As disciples of the same academy, neither he nor Lao Wu could attack Sun Zhangtian unless Sun Zhangtian committed a serious offense.
Moreover, even if he were to take action, Sun Zhangtian has a Spirit Transformation Master behind him. Who knows what life-saving methods he might have given Sun Zhangtian?
Zhong Cai was very clear about one thing—
If he had actually stopped Sun Zhangtian's actions in the underground arena, he would probably have incurred the resentment of some of the arena fighters.
·
Most of the challengers are independent cultivators with limited access to resources. They dare to fight in the life-or-death underground arena, so what's a little more effort?
Having gone through so much hardship, how could they not see what Sun Zhangtian's mentality was?
But what good is knowing this? Sun Zhangtian is their perfect way to acquire a lot of resources!
Having suffered so many humiliations, this is nothing compared to the resources they're willing to throw at it.
Perhaps some people are secretly praising Sun Zhangtian for his grand style (and being a sucker).
There must be many disciples from powerful forces who come to the Dark Arena to watch the battles and gain experience. Among them, there are probably many more than just Zhong Cai who disapprove of Sun Zhangtian's behavior. However, they must have various considerations, just like Zhong Cai.
They couldn't cut off the income stream of the rogue cultivators; otherwise, Sun Zhangtian would be fine, but they would only have made more enemies.
This is probably one of the reasons why Sun Zhangtian is so fearless.
·
Zhong Cai's expression changed quickly, and she felt quite disgusted.
Zhang Si didn't dare to say a word.
Wu Shaogan told Zhang Si to step back first.
Zhang Si naturally did as instructed.
Wu Shaogan grasped Zhong Cai's wrist again and said somewhat coldly, "Cai, don't pay attention to what others think."
Zhong Cai was startled and quickly grabbed Wu Shaogan's hand, her eyes wide as she said, "Don't!"
·
The two had a great understanding of each other; although neither said anything explicitly, they understood each other perfectly.
Wu Shaogan never cared about others, and naturally wouldn't consider the thoughts of any rogue cultivators. Why should he care if those rogue cultivators harbored resentment or not? Since they had the brains to fight for resources, they also had the brains to let go of their resentment and not go against the Canglong disciples.
Those who lack common sense can be easily crushed.
In his view, A Cai was mainly considering the feelings of those independent cultivators, and was hesitating whether to cut off this source of income for them because of his own feelings.
Zhong Cai was indeed somewhat hesitant.
He was indeed uncomfortable about this, but it didn't seem right for him to meddle in other people's business just because he was uncomfortable... For a rogue cultivator, wouldn't it be too presumptuous of him to do that?
But after his husband said those words, he couldn't think of anything else.
Old Wu is going to cause trouble for Sun Zhangtian because he's in a bad mood!
If we can kill him without leaving a trace, that would be fine, but if we can't, Old Wu will be in danger!
Zhong Cai's mind was completely filled with thoughts of his husband, Lao Wu.
·
Wu Shaogan casually set up a few array plates and whispered to Zhong Cai. He used his soul to transmit some of the more confidential information, without revealing his lip movements.
"Don't worry, A-Cai, I won't act rashly."
"I will secretly deploy a top-tier silver-armored soldier to monitor Sun Zhangtian's movements."
"Although Instructor Luo is a Spirit Transformation Instructor with abundant resources, that only applies to cultivators at lower levels. Within the Spirit Transformation realm, he's probably not exceptionally wealthy. He might have enough for other types of resources, but not necessarily for higher-level ones,"
"I'll go and test it out first, to see what level Sun Zhangtian's defense level is."
"If you haven't reached level seven..."
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly: "In A Cai's words, we can call on more people."
Everything is understood without words.
Zhong Cai's heart was pounding, but after hearing Wu Shaogan's arrangement, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The Taoist soldiers are very useful. In the past, whenever they encountered something evil or disgusting, they could simply let the Taoist soldiers handle it. This not only made them feel good, but also saved many innocent people from a major future threat.
But this time, the level of the Dao soldiers is a bit insufficient.
Then we need to be more careful, and not just rush in like Lao Wu used to.
·
--etc.
Thinking of this, Zhong Cai suddenly paused.
He seemed to be just very irritable and hesitant about whether to deal with Sun Zhangtian, right?
He didn't even intend to kill Sun Zhangtian; he was only considering whether to stop him from toying with rogue cultivators and damaging the reputation of Canglong Academy.
After exchanging a few words with Lao Wu, it turned into...
How do we kill Sun Zhangtian?
Zhong Cai silently looked at Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan held Zhong Cai's hand and smiled gently.
Zhong Cai blinked and smiled as well.
Oh well, that's how it is.
Sun Zhangtian's matter probably wasn't a big deal to Lao Wu, but Lao Wu knew that he had memories of his past life, and this matter would affect his mood.
Old Wu didn't want him to be unhappy, so he wanted to cut off the source of his unhappiness.
That makes perfect sense.
Zhong Cai's mood improved a lot.
Old Wu is right. He doesn't need to care whether he's meddling or not.
Anyway, their defensive measures are constantly being upgraded, so what if they are resented?
Ultimately, it was just that he happened to be in this situation.
He just happened to dislike it, so he did as he pleased.
·
Zhong Cai whispered to Wu Shaogan, "If you can kill him, then kill him. If you can't kill him, at least you can vent your anger."
Seeing that Zhong Cai had regained his spirits, Wu Shaogan was pleased and nodded with a smile.
Zhong Cai whispered again, "You can keep some for now... I'll go back and complain to my master!"
Wu Shaogan was taken aback, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He said in a deliberately serious tone, "A-Cai is right, we can complain to Master Sang."
Zhong Cai then whispered a suggestion: "You should also go and complain to Master Jiang."
Wu Shaogan nodded again: "Okay, I'll complain too."
The two looked at each other, and the previous dull atmosphere dissipated.
There are indeed too many disgusting things in the world, so just accept them when you encounter them.
·
However, although both of them had indeed recovered their composure, they had lost the will to continue watching the underground arena battle.
Zhong Cai said lazily, "Let's go back."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly and agreed.
You can watch the underground competition anytime, and you don't necessarily have to watch it.
The two of them had originally planned to go see the hanging statue after watching the consecration ceremony, but now they don't really want to go anymore.
·
Zhong Cai quickly summoned Zhang Si again, gave him a mysterious pearl as a reward, and canceled the subsequent guide trip.
Although Zhang Si was a little disappointed that he couldn't get to know the two distinguished guests better, he understood their thoughts and didn't say anything more about trying to persuade them to stay. Instead, he obediently led the way out.
only……
Just as the two were about to leave the hidden arena, someone nearby suddenly called out, "Senior brothers, please wait—"
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
A tall, handsome young man emerged from a dark corridor nearby.
He greeted the two of them politely with a bright, sunny smile on his face.
"Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Zhong!"
Zhang Si was stunned. Wasn't this Sun Zhangtian?
He had a bad feeling about this.
Although they are both top disciples of the Azure Dragon Inner Academy, it's normal for them to greet each other if they happen to bump into each other outside.
But he knew very well that the two distinguished guests he was leading disliked Sun Zhangtian, yet Sun Zhangtian himself came to him.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan looked at this "sunny and cheerful young man," both with some guesses and some uncertainty.
Although I did hear a bit about Sun Zhangtian's affairs, perhaps there are other Canglong disciples here... who know them and came over to greet them?
Moreover, according to Zhang Si's description, Sun Zhangtian's current image doesn't match.
However, the handsome and sunny young man took the initiative to say, "I am Sun Zhangtian, and I have long admired your names! It is an honor to meet you here today. I wonder if it is..."
They were so enthusiastic, their smiles practically practically bursting from their faces.
Zhong Cai's lips twitched slightly, and she raised her hand to stop him from speaking.
"Are you Sun Zhangtian?"
A hint of displeasure flashed in the depths of Sun Zhangtian's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant and was well hidden.
Even now, he still wore a warm smile: "It is indeed your younger brother, Senior Brother Zhong..."
Zhong Cai interrupted him again, speaking with a forced smile: "What have you been admiring us for? We've been admiring you for a long time! Junior Brother Sun, you're really quite impressive, truly capable. We can only look up to you from afar. You'd better watch yourself!"
After saying that, he grabbed Wu Shaogan and left without looking back.
Zhang Si hurriedly followed.
Sun Zhangtian was left behind, his smile seemed slightly stiff, and then gradually disappeared.
But he didn't show any dissatisfaction; instead, he seemed slightly helpless and regretful.
He sighed, turned around, and slowly walked in another direction.
As the light grew dimmer and there was no one else around, everything became quiet...
Sun Zhangtian revealed an angry expression, his eyes filled with intense malice.
What are you pretending for?
He's a worthless wretch himself, yet he pretends to be a saint!
They're trying to boost their own reputation by stepping on him!
Too bad, this idiot is wrong!
This world is all about interests and power; there's no such thing as morality from a past life.
After being reincarnated for so many years, he still thinks he can gain gratitude by putting others down? He's laughing his head off!
No wonder she's love-struck; she's just an idiot!
·
At this moment, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan had already reached the dark street.
Zhang Si then escorted the two out of the dark alley.
Zhong Cai gave him another Xuan Pearl, then pulled Wu Shaogan to an inn to stay for the night.
Back in his room, Wu Shaogan devised a series of new schemes.
The two leaned against each other, their heads touching.
At this moment, Zhong Caicai put on a stern face and said, "This Sun Zhangtian is being unusually enthusiastic."
Wu Shaogan rubbed Zhong Cai's head and then kneaded his hands to calm him down.
Zhong Cai hesitated for a moment, then said with a headache, "I can't say that. It's not like he's being too enthusiastic by taking the initiative to befriend a disciple from the same academy, but I just feel uncomfortable... It's not entirely because of what he did that makes me uncomfortable, it's just that his whole personality makes me feel uncomfortable!"
Zhong Cai never hid her thoughts and feelings from Wu Shaogan.
Even though his words were a little incoherent, he still said whatever came to mind.
He also believed that Lao Wu would definitely understand.
·
Wu Shaogan really knows what he's doing.
He paused for a moment, then said, "What A-Cai means is that this person is somewhat out of place."
Zhong Cai's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes! It just feels off!"
Wu Shaogan recalled the Sun Zhangtian he had seen before, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "A-Cai, this is not your imagination." His aura also surged slightly. "He has malice towards you... no, he has malice towards us all."
Zhong Cai thought about it carefully and then said, "His smile seemed normal, but I felt it was a bit fake."
Wu Shaogan stated firmly, "It's not genuine emotion."
Both of them had very keen senses.
In particular, Zhong Cai's alchemy skills became increasingly refined, and his perception became more acute.
Wu Shaogan was already very good at seeing through other people's emotions, and after experiencing setbacks, he saw them even more clearly.
Therefore, when the two faced Sun Zhangtian, even though Sun Zhangtian seemed to be showing goodwill, the two did not feel any goodwill at all.
This naturally feels out of place.
Zhong Cai hadn't quite understood before, but now that the two of them have sorted things out, they both understand.
Wu Shaogan gave a cold smile.
Zhong Cai quickly hugged him and said, "Old Wu, calm down!"
Wu Shaogan also hugged Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai was full of praise: "I knew Old Wu's plans were always the most timely! If I were to drag things out, Old Wu would have thought it through. He had already decided to keep an eye on that guy surnamed Sun! Old Wu is so farsighted!"
Wu Shaogan was stunned for a moment, his expression softening unconsciously, and the coldness in his eyes vanished instantly.
The two of them simply lay down on the bed together, shoulder to shoulder, and started talking about it again.
Zhong Cai said, "Is the man surnamed Sun here specifically to ambush us?"
Wu Shaogan nodded: "It should be."
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Sun Zhangtian, who clearly had no intention of leaving, happened to run into the two of them?
Zhong Cai frowned: "Since he blocked our way, he must have known we were here beforehand... which means he must have already inquired about us. So of course he would also know that we inquired about his deeds, right?"
This was a bit convoluted, but Wu Shaogan still understood it perfectly.
Wu Shaogan: "Of course I know."
Zhong Cai was a little puzzled: "Doesn't he have any self-awareness? He's done things that have tarnished the school's reputation, how can he still think that we would want to befriend him?"
This is indeed a problem.
Sun Zhangtian is a genius who has been favored by the Spirit Transformation Realm experts. Surely he can understand something like this?
Wu Shaogan pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps he thinks that even if we knew about this, we would still be willing to befriend him."
Zhong Cai: "..."
At that moment, he was disgusted again.
Wu Shaogan rubbed Zhong Cai's face, trying to calm him down once again.
Zhong Cai said blankly, "So, in this trash's eyes, we're just as scum as him?"
Wu Shaogan's lips twitched slightly: "...Probably."
Zhong Cai was completely devastated.
So, why?
He and Lao Wu didn't do anything bad at the academy, and they didn't do anything strange even when they were traveling!
How did he become this kind of person in Sun Zhangtian's eyes?
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan stared at each other.
Wu Shaogan guessed somewhat uncertainly, "Perhaps, my performance during the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition was not... appropriate?"
Zhong Cai said unhappily, "How could it be your problem? You didn't kill anyone when you were fighting. You got yourself into that state. Even if it was inappropriate, it wasn't inappropriate to target anyone else!"
Wu Shaogan immediately said, "A Cai is right."
Zhong Cai was also pondering, but no matter how he recalled the past, he couldn't find anything that warranted such harsh criticism.
He and Lao Wu are really not those kinds of scum.
But why did Sun Zhangtian appear so confident?
Sun Zhangtian certainly didn't think that as long as they were in public, he and Lao Wu would give him face and actually exchange pleasantries.
Perhaps, that's really what he thinks?
But the place where Sun Zhangtian stopped them was only Zhang Si, which was hardly a public place!
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were both intelligent people, so they naturally felt that this was not very logical.
Surely Sun Zhangtian isn't a fool.
If he were a fool, he would never have done something like bribing rogue cultivators.
·
The two fell into thought.
After what seemed like an eternity, they all spoke at the same time, albeit hesitantly.
"Old Wu, do you think it might be..."
"Ah Cai, maybe in the so-called 'original plot,' I'm a scumbag?"
The two of them almost simultaneously thought of those transmigrators in the book.
Since their current experiences absolutely cannot be used to determine that they are of bad character, why does Sun Zhangtian seem to know so much about it? Could it be because he saw something in the plot that makes him so certain?
While we can't conclude that Sun Zhangtian is definitely a transmigrator just because of this, it's not entirely impossible.
Both of them harbored such doubts.
Zhong Cai said quietly, "Old Wu, you really know how to plan ahead."
Wu Shaogan chuckled softly: "Ah Cai is quite perceptive."
The two praised each other.
Zhong Cai sighed: "If he really is a transmigrator, then it's understandable why Sun Zhangtian would manipulate rogue cultivators in such a self-destructive way."
In this world, very few people would do something that doesn't bring them any benefit. Of course, there are people who manipulate their own kind, but usually they wouldn't be willing to spend so many resources to do so.
Moreover, disciples with high aptitude and powerful influence are too busy improving their own strength to have the time or energy for this.
Wu Shaogan's eyes darkened slightly: "According to A Cai, perhaps he views the people in this world as two-dimensional beings."
Zhong Cai sighed again: "...So there's no respect. Even if he comes from a peaceful and harmless world like me, he quickly becomes condescending."
Of course, all of these speculations are based on the premise that the other party is indeed a transmigrator.
It is still uncertain at this time.
·
The previous transmigrators weren't too difficult to deal with; Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan could handle them easily.
Now Sun Zhangtian is in a lot of trouble. If we really want to do something, we not only need to confirm his identity, but also need to find a suitable opportunity because of the powerful backer behind him.
Zhong Cai quickly reminded him, "Even if we send Taoist soldiers to monitor, we must be extremely careful."
Wu Shaogan agreed: "I will give the order."
In short, the Dao soldiers must not be discovered, nor can their origins be traced back to the two of them.
Wu Shaogan added, "Let the Daobing stay here for now. We'll have it monitor us again after we get back and have been away for a while."
Zhong Cai nodded: "Old Wu is very thoughtful."
Logically, to better find Sun Zhangtian's weaknesses, it would be more appropriate to agree to befriend him and have some mutual acquaintance.
However, neither of them regretted rejecting Sun Zhangtian outright.
Even if they could do it all over again, they still wouldn't befriend Sun Zhangtian.
As for Zhong Cai, he would not tolerate this disgust and associate with Sun Zhangtian.
As for Wu Shaogan, he would not waste this time.
Zhong Cai concluded, "In short, let's monitor it first."
Wu Shaogan agreed: "A Cai is right."
·
The two remained silent for a while.
Zhong Cai suddenly became very unhappy again: "Even if he really is a transmigrator, he can't look at you like that, can he? Is he blind! The previous ones didn't treat you like a bad guy either!"
Wu Shaogan's feelings were somewhat complicated; what he saw and what A Cai saw seemed to be different.
But he quickly grasped Zhong Cai's hand and said with a smile, "He's the one who's blind."
Zhong Cai hummed in satisfaction and grasped Wu Shaogan's hand as well.
·
The two stayed at the inn for a day, which allowed them to adjust their mood.
Early the next morning, they left the city, boarded a flying boat, and returned directly to the Azure Dragon Academy.
The two rested for a while on Duobao Peak.
Next, they each went to the mountain where their respective masters were located.
·
Inside Sang Yunchu's residence.
Zhong Cai jogged along, her clear voice carrying quickly, lively and eager.
"Master! Master! Are you busy? I've come to find you!"
"Master! I've come to complain to you!"
Is Master here?
The next moment, Sang Yunchu's gentle voice rang out: "Cai'er, go sit in the flower hall, your teacher will be there soon."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Cai paused and then turned a corner.
Then, he rushed into a nearby, bustling house.
The surrounding doors and windows are all openwork, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing.
Zhong Cai sat down neatly on the soft stool and picked up the steaming tea beside her.
This was specially prepared for him by the puppet in the mansion after it heard the commotion.
The tea was at a perfect temperature, and Zhong Cai felt soothed after taking a few sips.
Sang Yunchu's voice came from afar and grew closer.
"Why are you so angry, Cai'er? Didn't you go to post bounties with your little Daoist partner?"
The moment he finished speaking, he was already standing in front of the flower hall.
As the last note faded, Sang Yunchu was sitting opposite Zhong Cai, also picking up a cup of fragrant tea.
Sang Yunchu chuckled and said, "Could it be that you and your little Daoist partner had a falling out?"
Zhong Cai immediately said, "I would never argue with Lao Wu!" He hurriedly added, "Lao Wu never argues with me either!"
Sang Yunchu took a sip of fragrant tea and smiled, "What's the reason for that? If someone angers you, your master will definitely stand up for you."
Zhong Cai snorted and gave a name without any attempt to hide it.
"Sun Zhangtian!"
Sang Yunchu raised an eyebrow: "Who is that?"
Zhong Cai said, "He's a disciple under Instructor Luo Zixiao! Master, you don't know, that Sun Zhangtian went too far. After Lao Wu and I posted the bounty in the dark market, we went to the dark arena..."
·
Now, Zhong Cai has nothing to hide from her master about most things.
Even if the ancient city, a treasure associated with the master, were discovered, Zhong Cai felt it was worth discussing—because her master was truly wealthy, and the ancient city wouldn't be of much use to her master.
There is no conflict of interest between the two parties, and the master will most likely feel that he has a solid foundation and will protect him even more.
The things that involve transmigrating into a book are things that cannot be explained.
Now, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan cannot tell Sang Yunchu about their speculations about Sun Zhangtian. However, they can speak frankly about everything else besides their speculations, everything they saw in the Dark Arena, and their dislike for Sun Zhangtian.
·
Zhong Cai said in a muffled voice, "Master, that guy does awful things and damages the reputation of our academy. Lao Wu and I were already annoyed with him, and then he came all the way here to befriend us. Does he think Lao Wu and I are like him? It's infuriating!"
After hearing this, Sang Yunchu's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Since entering the Azure Dragon Academy, the academy has never let him down, and he has developed feelings for the academy.
He also had no good feelings towards a disciple like Sun Zhangtian.
Sang Yunchu knew his disciple's personality well—compared to many cultivators, Cai'er was more soft-hearted and kind. As long as he wasn't overly merciful, this was actually a very good quality.
Naturally, Sang Yunchu could understand his disciple's anger.
As for why Sun Zhangtian thought that way, he didn't even bother to think about it.
Sang Yunchu chuckled softly, a slight chill creeping into her usually gentle gaze.
"Cai'er, don't be angry. Your teacher will go and see Junior Brother Luo."
Zhong Cai immediately spoke up: "Master means..."
Sang Yunchu calmly said, "My disciple's conduct is poor, and he acts recklessly. Naturally, it is because Master has not taught him well."
Zhong Cai was still a little confused: "So Master..."
Sang Yunchu smiled, gently patted his junior disciple's head, and said, "Let's see how Junior Brother Luo reacts first."
Although Zhong Cai still didn't know what her master was going to do, she didn't ask any more questions.
·
Meanwhile, Wu Shaogan also successfully met Jiang Chongguang.
But unlike Sang Yunchu, who was fine, Jiang Chongguang continued to practice his boxing in the pit, swinging his fists with great enjoyment.
As always, Wu Shaogan patiently observed and waited from the sidelines.
After Jiang Chongguang finally got his fill of fighting, he jumped out of the pit and looked at his disciple, asking with a smile, "Why are you here again today?"
Wu Shaogan said calmly, "I've come to complain to my master."
Jiang Chongguang was stunned: "Huh?"
He even doubted that he had heard correctly.
Wu Shaogan repeated, "Complain, complain to Master." He calmly added, "This disciple has been bullied."
Jiang Chongguang stared wide-eyed at Wu Shaogan, looking him up and down with a look of shock on his face!
His little apprentice was bullied? Who bullied him?
Jiang Chongguang had a very loud voice, almost a buzzing sound, that echoed throughout the entire cave.
"Which bastard dares to bully my disciple!"
"Bullying the weak, is that it? Is it from the Suspended Illumination or the Fusion?"
"Tell me right now!"
"Where are you hurt? I'll go break every bone in his body!"
Wu Shaogan shook his head and said, "The disciple was not injured."
Jiang Chongguang was still very annoyed: "Stop dawdling! Speak up!"
Wu Shaogan: "He said that his disciple and A Cai are scum."
Jiang Chongguang doubted his own hearing again: "...Huh?"
Seeing that Jiang Chongguang was stunned, Wu Shaogan slowly explained the whole story.
As Jiang Chongguang listened, his mind raced for a while, and he finally understood.
Then, instead of thinking that Wu Shaogan was being mysterious, he frowned and patted Wu Shaogan on the shoulder in a hearty manner.
"This is nothing serious!"
Wu Shaogan silently watched Jiang Chongguang.
Jiang Chongguang chuckled: "I'm going to go beat up Luo Zixiao."
Wu Shaogan was taken aback.
Jiang Chongguang said, "There's no grand philosophy involved. If you can't teach your apprentice well, you deserve to be beaten!"
Wu Shaogan smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master, for standing up for your disciple."
