The admission letters were sent out one by one, and Master Xuanyi's work was successfully completed.
He was planning to go back to the college to report on his work progress. As soon as he entered the college, he saw a group of people standing in a corner of the college under the scorching sun with ferocious expressions, as if they were going through something.
After taking two more steps, he felt that the cleaner looked familiar. He wiped his eyes and recognized Zhou Hongjun's identity.
Looking at the man who was talking to Zhou Hongjun, "Isn't that General Wu?"
Before he could even ask the question in his mind, Zhao Jing immediately came up to him and said, "Master, are you going to see Mr. An to report on your work progress today?"
Taoist Xuanyi nodded subconsciously: "All students have been tested, and I will return this magic weapon."
Having said that, he still felt a little reluctant.
But when he thought that he still had a small tripod, he felt at ease.
As long as he works hard for his senior, maybe the senior will be happy enough to reward him with another magic weapon in the future.
No, maybe he can refine a magic weapon by himself.
In the past, he couldn't understand the teachings of his predecessors, but now the books in the Sutra Library are almost all entry-level and no longer obscure. As long as he spends time studying them, he doesn't believe that he can't figure out some of the answers.
"Okay, then, Taoist Priest, go quickly and don't delay Mr. An's business."
Taoist Priest Xuanyi looked at him in confusion. Zhou Hongjun and the other two beside him also looked at him expectantly, urging him to go in quickly.
After knocking on the door and entering the hall and reporting on his work, Taoist Xuanyi waited anxiously for An Jingzhi's comments.
"Well done. You will continue to stay in the academy." He threw a book into the arms of Master Xuanyi. "The books in the Sutra Repository are not the end for you. You have listened to a lot of my books before. I believe that reading the books in the Sutra Repository will confirm your views."
"The book I gave you is an advanced book on weapon refining. Wait until you have a solid foundation before reading it. Then you won't have to covet the weapons in the storage room anymore."
"How can the magic weapon I refined myself compare to the one refined by my predecessors?" Taoist Xuanyi said happily after taking the book.
…
As soon as he closed the door, he turned around and saw three pairs of eyes staring at him.
Taoist Xuanyi was calm and not frightened. The four of them went to a place a little further away from the main hall to talk.
"If you three have anything to say, please feel free to say it." As soon as they entered the hall, the three of them seemed to be hesitant to speak. He wanted to ask An Jingzhi after finishing his work report, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.
Zhou Hongjun asked impatiently, "How do you think Mr. An is feeling?"
"It's fine." Pretty much the same as usual.
"He's not angry?" asked General Wu.
"No." Taoist Xuanyi also figured it out, "Did you do something to offend the senior?"
Taoist Xuanyi's main role on the original owner's side was to find out the original owner's background and provide them with some information support.
But in fact, Taoist Xuanyi didn’t know exactly what Zhao Jing and the others had done to guard against the original owner, he only knew some details.
It’s not that Zhao Jing and the others were unwilling to tell Taoist Xuanyi, but Taoist Xuanyi himself was actually not willing to inquire too carefully about the state secrets. He was just an old Taoist priest.
Zhao Jing and the other two had no choice but to smile bitterly and give a brief explanation.
About the misunderstanding between them and about being on guard against An Jingzhi.
Taoist Xuanyi was speechless for a long time after hearing this. He couldn't say who was right or wrong in this matter.
Zhao Jing and his colleagues' every word and action is for the safety of the country and the future of mankind, so they are inevitably cautious and speculative.
But if you consider it from the perspective of your predecessors, it seems a bit unfair.
"What about what happened to you today?" asked Taoist Xuanyi.
"It's been almost a month since I last confessed to Mr. An, but we can't keep dragging things on. I thought if Mr. An is in a good mood today, it might be better if we talk to him about this matter again," General Wu explained.
"Senior may look arrogant, but that's just his protective color. Not to mention you, even I, an old Taoist, was deceived at the beginning. Alas..."
…
Zhou Hongjun and the others gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, thinking that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, as the opening of the Cultivation Academy was approaching.
Although Mr. An was reluctant to see them, he listened to the work reports of Zhao Jing and Taoist Xuanyi.
This proves that Mr. An did not give up on the Cultivation Academy because he was angry with them.
This made Zhou Hongjun and others feel even more guilty.
Zhou Hongjun and General Wu looked at each other and walked in front, ready to knock on the door of the main hall. As soon as they put their hands on the door, it opened automatically.
Several people looked at each other and silently stepped into the hall.
An Jingzhi sat upright on the cushion in front of the main hall, emitting an otherworldly aura, as if he were a banished immortal about to ascend to heaven.
Zhou Hongjun and his companions were about to kneel down, but then they remembered that An had forbidden them to kneel down during the previous conversation, so they just bowed.
"Mr. An, we are deeply sorry for the deception."
"We have our considerations, but Mr. An has been wronged after all."
"Today I will present a data chart of all the weapons currently in use in China..."
"besides……"
An Jingzhi just closed his eyes and listened to Zhou Hongjun and General Wu talking about their compensation.
He was given a large amount of spirit stones, specifically for An Jingzhi's own practice. It was said that the ores were bought from other countries, and a lot of manpower and material resources were spent on transporting them back.
Ever since it was discovered that some special mineral spirit stones could help cultivators in their practice, the country has been consciously stockpiling this material.
Buy out other countries' products first, then develop your own.
From now on, An Jingzhi will no longer have to worry about the material expenses of the college, as Zhao Jing will be in charge.
There are also several rare medicinal herbs that are more than ten thousand years old, all of which were taken from those big leaders.
They even took the initiative to promise that no matter what An Jingzhi needed in the future, as long as it was within the country's capabilities, they would do their best to do it.
An Jingzhi didn't say anything, but just raised his hand and waved it, and took the weapon drawings and data that had been sent to him.
He knew at a glance that this weapon blueprint was absolutely the most authentic.
Even the types given are richer than the last time. Based on his inference of China's current technology, Zhou Hongjun did not lie. This is definitely a summary of all the current weapons data in China.
If this data were leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In order to restore An Jingzhi's trust in China, Zhou Hongjun and his team were able to apply for this data.
Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, he said calmly, "This won't happen again."
Zhou Hongjun couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this, and his rough voice echoed throughout the hall.
General Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Even he himself had no right to view the data he had applied for, but fortunately, there was finally some result.
He solemnly promised: "Mr. An, don't worry, there will never be a next time."
