Tens of thousands of years later, there were no more mythical beasts in the vast continent, and the legends of these mythical beasts only existed in people's memories.
The blood pressure of the cubs of divine beasts is not very strong for these high-level magical beasts that have already developed intelligence. However, since the cubs of divine beasts, no matter how weak they are, are still divine beasts, after being devoured by magical beasts, the possibility of these magical beasts transforming into divine beasts will be greatly increased!
It seems that these magical beasts gathered around the lake really intend to devour the Qilin cub and become divine beasts themselves!
Venerable Mo Shang looked at the shocked expressions on Xu Errong and An Ran's faces and knew that they both believed his words 80%.
He looked at An Ran and Xu Errong with an expression that seemed to be asking for praise, and said to them with a little pride: "How about it, Master, I didn't lie to you, right? Is this a good thing?"
An Ran nodded blankly, looking at Master Mo Shang with surprise. This was great news for them! Who wouldn't want to contract a Qilin cub? This should be the first known divine beast!
Xu Errong did not disappoint Venerable Mo Shang. He also looked at Venerable Mo Shang with surprise. This was a really big and good thing, much better than the big and good things that the master had mentioned before!
He looked at Venerable Mo Shang with excitement and said excitedly, "Master brought back really good news this time! What do you want us to do? Follow them to the depths of the forest in the Tianqi Mountains to take a look?"
Venerable Mo Shang glanced at Xu Errong and said seriously, "I have my own selfish reasons for placing you in this expedition. More and more students in this class rely on the power of the four major families in the imperial capital. I don't want anyone from the four major families to get the Qilin. If they get it, then this Orr Academy will truly be theirs!"
I hope this Water Qilin can be contracted by one of you two. Even if that's not possible, it has to be a close friend of yours!"
After saying this, a deep look flashed across Venerable Mo Shang’s eyes.
An Ran and Xu Errong finally understood what Venerable Mo Shang was thinking, and their hearts suddenly felt heavy. Venerable Mo Shang must have had great expectations of them since he instructed them in this way. They just didn't know if they could achieve the results that Venerable Mo Shang hoped to see.
Looking into Venerable Mo Shang's penetrating gaze, they realized that, unbeknownst to them, he had been harboring so many thoughts. He usually presented himself as a lunatic, and almost everyone believed him to be heartless, with little sense of belonging to the academy, and little awareness of the power struggles within. Even An Ran and Xu Errong believed the same.
But I didn't expect that under the crazy image of Venerable Mo Shang, he actually had such a keen sense of what happened in the academy, but he just didn't show it normally. But now everything he showed was completely inconsistent with his usual crazy and cheerful image!
If An Ran had not been so sure that the person standing in front of him was Venerable Mo Shang, he would have thought that the person standing in front of him would be another person pretending to be Venerable Mo Shang, who was worried about the academy and the world!
Xu Errong and An Ran nodded solemnly and promised Master Mo Shang, "Master, don't worry. The Qilin cub will definitely not fall into the hands of the four major families, and Orr College will not be controlled by the four major families!"
Venerable Mo Shang looked at Xu Errong and An Ran with satisfaction and said, "I believe in my two disciples. You two are almost the top students in the first and second grades. Together, you two can definitely prevent the Qilin from falling into the hands of the four major families!"
Xu Errong and An Ran nodded heavily, looked at each other tacitly, and began to think in their minds about how to capture the Qilin beast!
Suddenly, An Ran thought of a very important question. She looked at Venerable Mo Shang and asked with some concern: "Master, what should we do if our mentor is colluding with the people of that family?"
Venerable Mo Shang frowned. He had never thought about this problem before. The mentor should not collude with people from the four major families!
So far, he has not found any tutor in Orr College who has contact with people from the four major families. Even Nangong Xiao, who was born in the Nangong family, one of the four major families, had sworn a solemn oath before entering the college!
However, what An Ran said was not without reason. The four major families were full of talented people, and their hidden forces were almost unknown to outsiders. They might have received this news and then went to the Apocalypse Mountains to investigate. If they found that this was the cub of the Qilin beast, it was inevitable that they would threaten and seduce the instructors of the academy, forcing them to make some selfish choices regarding their interests.
However... although he firmly believed in the character of the school teachers and that they would not do such a thing, when faced with huge interests and sufficient threats, who could say for sure!
Thinking of this, Venerable Mo Shang began to hesitate. He said uncertainly, "School teachers shouldn't do such things! Even if a teacher colluded with the four major families, there must be some teachers in the entire academy who are not intimidated or coerced by the four major families!"
Hearing what Venerable Mo Shang said, An Ran's heart began to falter. She looked at Venerable Mo Shang with a worried look and said anxiously, "Master, you must know that two fists cannot defeat four hands. What if the instructors we go to this time are all bribed by the four major families, and the students are also children of families that rely on the four major families? What should we do then?"
Xu Errong saw An Ran and said, "That shouldn't happen. Every freshman trial only selects the best students from among the freshmen. No matter how powerful the people from the four major families are, they won't take up all the places. Besides, the teachers in the school are not that easy to bribe. Don't worry, Junior Sister Yunxi!"
An Ran raised her eyebrows. It would be easy to prevent someone from participating in the trial if he was not easily bribed!
She pressed on, "What if that happens? Before the trial, it would be very easy to make those who aren't from the four major families sick or have diarrhea or something like that!"
Uh...it seems to make some sense. Considering the feasibility of what An Ran said, Xu Errong was speechless for a moment, and began to think in his heart, not knowing how to refute it.
Venerable Mo Shang sighed, looked out the window worriedly, stood silently, his back looking desolate and lonely.
P.S. I’m asking for votes again(^3^)(To be continued.)
