Chapter 90 Quarry
An old man in a coarse linen robe walked out. The old man was not good-looking and his clothes were shabby, but as soon as he walked out, the atmosphere in the place immediately became solemn.
"Dean." Jing Chiyan and Shi Ziyu called out respectfully at the same time.
"Master, you are injured." Zhuang Yu couldn't help but call out nervously when he saw Shi Ziyu's arm bleeding.
Shi Ziyu glanced at Zhuang Yu and stopped him from saying anything else.
Lian Chengkong looked at Jing Chiyan and Shi Ziyu with a bad face, "You two, you actually fought over a dispute between juniors, you are really bastards."
Jing Chiyan narrowed his eyes. Shi Ziyu was so cruel, it was obvious that he wanted to kill his apprentice.
"What's going on? The academy doesn't allow internal fighting, don't you know?" Lian Chengkong asked Zhuang Yu and Ye Shi.
It was common for students in the academy to have disputes. If the matter between Zhuang Yu and Ye Shi had not become a big deal, the academy would have turned a blind eye and it would have passed. However, the dispute between these two people caused Shi Ziyu and Jing Chiyan to have a fight, and he had no choice but to intervene.
Lian Chengkong looked at Zhuang Yu and Ye Shi and asked, "Who started it first?"
Zhuang Yu's expression changed, and he said nervously, "I was the first to do it, but..."
"That's enough!" Lian Chengkong stopped Zhuang Yu. "No matter what your reasons are, being the first to attack is a serious violation of school rules."
Zhuang Yu bit her lip, lowered her head, and looked aggrieved.
Zhuang Yu turned his gaze to Ye Rong. He took action for Ye Rong. At this time, Ye Rong should stand up and speak for him.
Ye Rong was already frightened silly and hid aside without saying a word.
Zhuang Yu looked at Ye Rong's face and couldn't help but feel disappointed. He was truly too pitiful. He had stood up for Ye Rong with good intentions and even implicated his master. Now that he needed Ye Rong, she was so indifferent.
"Who else took action just now?" Lian Chengkong asked with a serious face.
"Me." Ye Shi's face was tense.
Lian Chengkong looked at Ye Shi and said unhappily, "Just confess."
Ye Shi pursed his lips and said nothing.
"The person next to you is also involved, right?" Lian Chengkong asked Mu Chen.
"No." Ye Shi said hurriedly.
"How could he get hurt if he didn't participate?" Lian Chengkong said unhappily.
Ye Shi wanted to say something but was stopped by Mu Chen.
"Even though you didn't start the fight, you still participated in it. I'll punish you by sending you to the quarry for a month." Lian Chengkong turned his gaze to Zhuang Yu and said, "As for you, three months. The three of you should reflect on yourselves."
As soon as Lian Chengkong finished speaking, Ye Shi immediately sent a telepathic message to Jing Chiyan.
When Jing Chiyan heard Ye Shi's voice transmission, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"Master, Zhuang Yu is a bitch, a slut. He is always lusting after Muchen. We must not assign Muchen and him to the same area of the quarry."
Ye Shi's sound transmission skills were rather rudimentary, and the students around him could not hear what he said, but Shi Ziyu and Lian Chengkong heard it.
Shi Ziyu's face turned pale and blue, "You are a hopeless thing." Shi Ziyu glared at Ye Shi with gritted teeth.
"You say my apprentice is hopeless. You'd better take good care of your apprentice. If he hadn't attracted so many women everywhere, my apprentice wouldn't be so wary of him." Jing Chiyan sneered.
Shi Ziyu said angrily: "You..."
"That's enough, both of you shut up." Lian Chengkong said unhappily.
"Arrange him to the quarry in District 3, and these two to go to District 2." Lian Chengkong said to the people from the academy law enforcement team who rushed over.
Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lian Chengkong's words.
"Dean, Mu Chen is injured. Let him recuperate for a few days before going." Ye Shi looked at Lian Chengkong and said.
Lian Chengkong looked at Ye Shi, then glanced at Mu Chen nonchalantly, saying, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. Nothing serious will happen."
Ye Shi frowned, feeling somewhat disapproving.
Lian Chengkong looked at Mu Chen and asked, "What talisman did you use just now?"
Mu Chen bowed respectfully and said, "Dean, these are the Flame Talisman and the Explosion Talisman."
"Well used," Lian Chengkong said. Under such circumstances, to be able to block Shi Ziyu's attack, this Mu Chen was truly a promising talent!
Mu Chen smiled shyly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Dean."
Lian Chengkong looked at Mu Chen and said to the law enforcement team, "Take him away."
Ye Shi curled his lips and thought to himself, "This dean is really good at turning his back on people. He was praising Mu Chen one moment, and turned hostile the next."
As soon as Mu Chen and Ye Shi were taken away, the two presidents of the Imperial Capital Talisman Master Guild came to visit.
Upon learning that Muchen and Ye Shi were imprisoned in the quarry by the Holy Star Academy, the two presidents of the Talisman Master Guild had no choice but to leave.
Two days later.
A rumor was spreading like wildfire, saying that a new type of talisman had appeared in the Holy Star Academy, and that warriors might be able to absorb the sun's essence from this talisman. Once the news got out, masters came to the Holy Star Academy in droves to seek the talisman.
…………
Ye Shi looked at the mountain of stones in front of him and said dejectedly, "We have to move so many stones to the top of that mountain!"
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes! We have to move all these stones within a month, otherwise, we still won't be able to get out after a month."
Ye Shi sat on a rock, gazing into the distance. He said, "Someone once told me that entering Holy Star Academy would bring me happiness. As long as I could get in, I'd never have to worry about food or clothing. But what happened? What a joke! We're actually doing hard labor here, and we don't even have any Yuanshi. We're working for nothing."
Mu Chen: "..." The main reason why Ye Shi had such a strong resentment was probably because he had worked in vain.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said, "This is for you."
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and asked, "What is this?"
"This is a new talisman I developed. It was developed based on the traditional talisman for lightening the body. The function of the talisman is to make the human body lighter. I thought that since the human body can become lighter, then the stone should also be able to become lighter." Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi couldn't wait to stick the talisman on a stone beside him, and the stone immediately became much lighter.
"It's lighter, lighter, really much lighter." Ye Shi said excitedly.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Alright, let's move quickly. Our mission is quite heavy."
Ye Shi nodded and said happily, "Okay."
…………
"Master uncle." Xin Ruge walked to Jing Chiyan and called out.
"Ruge, it's you!" Jing Chiyan said with a smile.
"Uncle, are you worried about my junior brother?" Xin Ruge asked.
Jing Chiyan nodded and said, "Yes! Your junior brother is a Shuang'er after all. I don't know if your junior brother can get used to a place like a quarry."
Xin Ruge smiled and said, "With Muchen here, Junior Brother, nothing should happen."
"This kid Mu Chen is really hard to figure out!" Jing Chiyan said. He is a second-level double-level alchemist and talisman master. He just entered the academy and he created the Spring Breeze Rain Talisman and the Beast Spirit Pill. Now he has created that new type of Flame Talisman.
The two presidents of the Talisman Master Association came to ask about Muchen's situation every two or three days, hoping that Muchen would defect from the academy and join the Talisman Master Association.
"I heard that many people want the dean to pardon Mu Chen." Xin Ruge said.
Jing Chiyan narrowed his eyes. This time, Mu Chen suffered an unexpected disaster. Mu Chen did not directly participate in the fight between Ye Shi and Zhuang Yu. What he did was to block Shi Ziyu's attack in the end.
Thinking of Shi Ziyu, Jing Chiyan's eyes suddenly became cold. Shi Ziyu attacked suddenly. At that time, he was far away and it was too late to stop him. If it weren't for Mu Chen, Ye Shi would have been in real danger.
Maybe this guy Shi Ziyu did it on purpose. If Ye Shi died, Zhuang Yu would be the only one left.
This guy Mu Chen looks quiet at ordinary times, but he is so ruthless at critical moments. He did not retreat even when facing the King of Martial Arts Shi Ziyu.
In an instant, he exploded hundreds of talismans to block King Wu's attack. Mu Chen's soul power was probably more powerful than one could imagine!
"Junior brother, you have good taste. You picked Muchen." Xin Ruge couldn't help but say.
Jing Chiyan frowned and said, "Mu Chen seems to be sincere towards your junior brother..."
In fact, Jing Chiyan has never been very optimistic about Mu Chen. He always felt that Mu Chen and Ye Shi were together for some purpose. However, after this incident, Jing Chiyan's opinion of Mu Chen has changed a lot.
"Do you know how your junior brother is doing?" Jing Chiyan asked.
Xin Ruge smiled helplessly and said, "Master, you know that the quarry is Master Xiong's territory. Even the chief dean can't interfere!"
Xiong Wei is a nine-star Martial King, and his strength is the strongest among the four Martial Kings. Xiong Wei is arrogant and domineering, and is not easy to mess with.
As soon as Mu Chen was sent to the quarry, people from Fuyuan arrived. Lian Chengkong regretted it at that time, but the person had already been sent in. It was impossible for Xiong Wei to release him in less than a month.
"People from the Talisman Master Association seem to be coming here more frequently recently!" Jing Chiyan said with a smile.
"Not only the Talisman Master Association, but also the Alchemist Association, many people came, and even the Equipment Refiner Association, as well." Xin Ruge said.
Special fire is something that is used by both alchemists and weapon refiners, but it is always in short supply. If the talisman can really extract the sun's essence fire, then... Mu Chen will make a fortune.
…………
Ye Shi put a weight-reducing talisman on the boulder and rolled the stone forward easily.
A flame suddenly fell on the stone in front of Ye Shi, and the weight loss talisman was burned clean.
Ye Shi raised his head and looked ahead with dissatisfaction.
An old man who was round and fat, wearing tattered and dirty clothes and holding a wine jug half a person's height in his hand appeared in front of the two people.
"What I hate most are you sneaky guys. You are here to be punished! Humph, you seem to be living so comfortably. Do you think you are here to enjoy yourself?" The old man looked at the two of them with disdain.
Ye Shi looked at the newcomer with dissatisfaction and said, "Who are you?"
Mu Chen glanced at the person who came, glared at Ye Shi, and said, "Shi Tou, don't be rude."
"You are still polite, kid. You are Muchen, right?" The old man took a sip of wine and looked Muchen up and down.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "That's right."
"Did you know that Lian Chengkong wants to rescue you?" asked the old man.
"Dean? Is he going to let Mu Chen out?" Ye Shi asked with some joy.
"He wants to let your mistress out, but he doesn't want to let you out. Why are you so happy? If he goes out, there will be no one to accompany you. Don't worry, Lian Chengkong wanted to let your mistress out, but I didn't let him." The old man said with a smile.
Ye Shi: “…”
