Chapter 126: Rewards from the Sky Fox Academy
After all, the Yue family returned victoriously, and there must be a lot of things to take care of, and they must be very busy, but he still came to Gong Mengbi to report the news and share his joy.
That's what true friends do.
Gong Mengbi was grateful and prepared to treat him better and not just use him as a tool.
Especially recently, they have been given more work to do. Although they are indeed official business, they have to work overtime, so we have to show our appreciation.
He clapped his hands and thought to himself, "My brother Kang has almost recovered. It's time to invite him to set up two banquets, one to thank his friends and one to thank the ghosts and gods."
As for whether Fatty Kang agrees or not... they are all brothers, how can he not agree?
The news that Yu He brought to Gong Mengbi was very exciting. The last good news like this was when the gods came down to earth and extradited the Black Dragon to the north.
It is said that good things come in pairs.
Before Gong Mengbi had time to return to Wuhuan Peak to discuss the banquet with Fatty Kang, the talisman in the spirit platform jumped, reminding him that Tianhuyuan was summoning him.
Gong Mengbi could now resist such a summons, but it was obvious that this ability was not to be used at this time. He simply returned to the room, lit the small golden incense burner, and fell into a dream accompanied by the curling smoke.
The sky was filled with mist and when Gong Mengbi opened his eyes, he saw a dignified and beautiful woman looking at him with a smile. Her long hair was tied behind her head with a golden ribbon and fluttered behind her.
"Dr. Huang!" Gong Mengbi was overjoyed. "I haven't seen you for quite some time."
Dr. Huang smiled broadly, "You know, the Yue Mansion has been very busy lately. The Sky Fox Court, being closely connected to them, has also been busy. And with the Demon Star descending, we've been incredibly busy. Only today have we had time to deal with your affairs."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "What do you want to do with me?"
Dr. Huang led him forward and saw flowers blooming in profusion, as beautiful as spring. The garden was filled with clusters of flowers, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Of course it's a good thing. If it's a bad thing, I will catch you."
Gong Mengbi said: "That's really a continuous stream of happy events."
Dr. Huang asked, "Any other good news?"
Gong Mengbi asked, "Isn't it that the Yue family has returned victorious?"
Dr. Huang looked at him in surprise and said, "You are well-informed. Yes, this is a great event."
Gong Mengbi said: "I have a little friendship with the Yin officials of Yue Mansion, and I heard what they said."
Dr. Huang said with satisfaction, "You have made me proud. You are the first among your batch of students to receive the Taiyue Divine Talisman."
Dr. Huang led Gong Mengbi to the Fang Garden, where he saw the Jade Fairy Goddess walking slowly. Behind her were the Blue Bird God Messenger and Xun Jijiu.
Seeing Dr. Huang from afar, Fairy Qingyao whispered, "The little fox is here."
Several people looked over, and Gong Mengbi suddenly felt some psychological pressure, but he still smiled. He walked closer, bowed and said, "Student Gong Mengbi, I greet the headmaster, the chief priest, and the divine envoy."
Xun Jijiu said, "No need to be so polite."
Gong Mengbi stood up straight. Xun Jijiu looked at him and was immediately surprised: "Eighth Rank...how long has it been?"
Fairy Qingyao laughed and said, "If he didn't have this eighth-grade cultivation, would he have the guts to act so recklessly?"
He could tell that the messenger of God was making fun of him, but Gong Mengbi didn't dare to say much. He just looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending not to hear.
Xun Jijiu laughed and said, "I can't say he's reckless, but he's certainly quite courageous."
"Gong Mengbi, you've done quite a few good things lately," said Xun Jijiu, looking at him. "First, you joined forces with the Yue Mansion's divine soldiers to slay the evildoers, bringing fame to the Taishan Goddess. Then you slew the evil tiger Banyin, converted its minions, and resolved grievances, demonstrating the Taishan Goddess's spiritual response. And you established the Fox Monastery to educate the foxes, alleviating the Taishan Goddess's worries."
"You've only been in office for a few months, and you've already acquired this ability. It's truly more remarkable than I imagined."
Xun Jijiu concealed one part of the story, which was that Gong Mengbi plotted to kill the City God. Of course, this matter could not be hidden from Xun Jijiu, as the sword Gong Mengbi used to kill the City God was the private seal of the Jade Fairy Goddess.
Since it is a private seal, it is not appropriate to disclose it publicly, and Gong Mengbi also tacitly admitted that this incident did not happen.
After receiving Xun Jijiu's praise, Gong Mengbi became even more humble: "I just know that the Goddess of Mount Tai protects all living beings and has spiritual power in the nine provinces. I have received the Goddess's grace, so how can I not show off her spiritual power?"
Xun Jijiu did not see any trace of arrogance in him, and was even more satisfied.
"Goddess, this little fox has lived up to your expectations and has accomplished something." Xun Jijiu said with a smile, "He should be rewarded to demonstrate that the Heavenly Fox Academy is clear about rewards and punishments."
The Jade Fairy Goddess glanced at Gong Mengbi and said, "It's indeed a reward. Exorcism is fine, but the Fox Courtyard is quite interesting to me."
"Gong Mengbi, you must manage this well. If you can raise some good talents and change the social atmosphere through education, I will order all fox societies in the world to learn from you."
Gong Mengbi was both surprised and delighted. This meant that the Fox Courtyard in Wuning County would be used as a pilot project. If any results were achieved, it would be promoted nationwide immediately.
Even if Gong Mengbi did nothing, he would become famous because of this.
Seeing the Jade Fairy Goddess attach so much importance to it, Gong Mengbi promised: "I will live up to the promise of the mountain master and run the Fox Courtyard well."
The Jade Fairy Goddess nodded and said, "Okay."
She said to Xun Jijiu, "You are the one who decides the reward."
Xun Jijiu glanced at her, then looked at Fairy Qingyao. Fairy Qingyao blinked her eyes, indicating that she could do nothing to help.
This gave the old fox a headache. If he rewarded too much, it would be difficult to convince the people. If he rewarded too little, the person would be favored by the headmaster.
Xun Jijiu immediately turned the vexing question to Gong Mengbi and asked, "You've quietly reached the eighth rank now. You should have been promoted, but you've only just received the ninth rank talisman, and your time is still short. Therefore, I won't raise you for now. Once you've completed the Fox Courtyard, I'll allow you to be promoted two levels higher, to become a seventh-rank Fox Master."
"As for today, it depends on what you want."
Gong Mengbi was taken aback, but he didn't think the old fox was playing the game. Instead, he felt it was very considerate. He thought for a moment and said, "I am now worshiping the moon to practice cultivation, but my magic power is still low, and I lack a way to protect myself. I wonder if Xun Jijiu has any guidance?"
"A way to protect yourself?" Xun Jijiu pondered for a moment, then said, "I remember you've mastered the Wind Calling Technique very well. There's an Eight Wind Curse in the courtyard that might suit your needs. However, practicing the Eight Wind Curse is quite difficult..."
But after taking a look at Gong Mengbi, Xun Jijiu felt that it might not be difficult for him, so he said, "You can try practicing first. If you have any questions, ask your master for advice."
Gong Mengbi looked at Dr. Huang, who nodded, indicating that he could teach.
Gong Mengbi said, "Thank you, Xun Jijiu, for teaching me the Dharma. However, I'm afraid it will be difficult to master the Eight Wind Mantra right now. It can help with long-term problems, but it won't alleviate hunger in the short term."
Xun Jijiu's eyebrows twitched and he asked, "So what do you mean?"
Fairy Qingyao suddenly interrupted, "I remember there seems to be an Eight Winds Bottle in the treasury that matches the Eight Winds Curse. It's a magical tool used to assist in the practice of refining the Eight Winds Curse, and it also has some magical protective uses. Why not give it to him?"
Xun Jijiu felt a pain in his heart and looked at the Jade Fairy Goddess. The goddess had no expression. He looked at Dr. Huang, and Dr. Huang silently turned his head away.
He looked at Gong Mengbi again, hoping that this boy would be more sensible, but Gong Mengbi had a look of anticipation on his face, as if he couldn't see his heartache.
Xun Jijiu said with difficulty: "Okay, then I will give you the Eight Wind Bottle as well."
