Chapter 98 The Battle of Geniuses
"Master, Senior Sister Xin said that the two deans of the Alchemy Academy and the Talisman Academy have come to see you." Ye Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at Jing Chiyan sharply.
Jing Chiyan lay leisurely in the rocking chair and said lazily: "Yes! Both of them have been here."
It’s a pity that these two people are the deans of the Dan Academy and the Fu Academy. They came here in a secretive and stealthy manner. It’s really shameful!
"Senior sister said that you accepted a lot of gifts from them." Ye Shi looked at Jing Chiyan with suspicion.
Jing Chiyan smiled faintly at Ye Shi and said, "I, your master, am soft-hearted and always find it difficult to refuse kindness. What's more, it's a large sum of Yuanshi! It's really hard to refuse. Something that comes to your door should be rejected. The Danyuan and Fuyuan are both very wealthy. Taking a little from them is nothing."
God knows, the salary offered by Holy Star Academy is too low, and he is not as well off as his apprentice.
"Master, you didn't say anything, right?" Ye Shi frowned and looked at Jing Chiyan.
Jing Chiyan glared at Ye Shi and said unhappily, "Okay, don't worry, I didn't reveal your Muchen's true plan. But I didn't lie to your master either. You know, I'm not good at lying."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
Jing Chiyan stood with his hands behind his back. The two old guys from the Danyuan and Fuyuan regarded each other as mortal enemies, but they didn't know that Mu Chen was planning to build a false front to attack Chencang in secret. He really couldn't wait to see the expressions of the two guys from the Danyuan and Fuyuan when they knew that Mu Chen chose the Mingwenyuan.
Speaking of which, the dean of the Inscription Academy, Xia Qingyan, and the vice-dean, Xia Qingli, are a pair of sisters. I don’t know what Mu Chen’s intention was in choosing the Inscription Academy.
"Stone, runes of the Fire Talisman, does Mu Chen plan to sell them?" Jing Chiyan asked boredly.
Ye Shi shook his head and said seriously, "No, Mu Chen said that it was a hen that laid eggs, and he didn't plan to kill it for the eggs."
Jing Chiyan said with some surprise: "He has killed the chicken to get the eggs several times." He had sold the Spring Breeze Rain Talisman and the Beast Spirit Pill before.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's because it was difficult for the chicken to lay eggs before. Moreover, Mu Chen was too poor before and urgently needed a large amount of Yuanshi. Now Mu Chen is relatively well-off. Moreover, Mu Chen said that the chicken of Yanhuo Fu is better at laying eggs, so it would be a pity to kill it."
Jing Chiyan narrowed his eyes and said, "It won't be easy for him to keep the Flame Talisman by himself!"
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes, so he wants to give the sales rights of the Flame Talisman to you, Master, and split the Yuanshi earned in a 30% to 70% ratio."
"I'm seven and you're three?" Jing Chiyan raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly.
Ye Shi shook his head and glared at Jing Chiyan in dissatisfaction, saying, "Master, you are too greedy. We have seven and you only have three."
Jing Chiyan: “…”
"Did Mu Chen say that?" Jing Chiyan asked Ye Shi, staring straight at him, his eyes revealing a sense of seeing through everything.
Ye Shi smiled awkwardly and said dejectedly, "Mu Chen said fifty-fifty."
Jing Chiyan rolled his eyes, knowing that his disciple was not honest and only knew how to elbow Muchen.
"Master, we have two people." Ye Shi looked at Jing Chiyan and stretched out two fingers.
Jing Chiyan rolled his eyes. Ye Shi still dared to say that. If Ye Shi and Muchen accounted for 70%, then if they were divided equally between them, that would be 35%. That was still more than him. What a joke! He was a Martial King after all! How could he be so cheap?
Jing Chiyan said angrily, "You two combined are not even half my size, yet you dare to ask for such a high price."
Ye Shi stood aside silently, his eyes showing a hint of disapproval.
"Alright, I'll give you face. 40-60, I'll take 40, you take 60." Jing Chiyan looked at Ye Shi and said. Mu Chen said 50-50, so he gave 10% as a courtesy to Ye Shi.
Ye Shi nodded, somewhat reluctantly, and said, "Okay."
"Disciple, don't look like you've suffered a great loss. You've made a lot of money, do you know that?" Jing Chiyan looked at Ye Shi and rolled his eyes helplessly. Mu Chen was talented, but he had no backing. If he didn't find a backer, he would not be able to keep the Flame Talisman.
"Master, you are the one who made the big profit." Ye Shi said unhappily.
"Okay, this is a win-win situation." Jing Chiyan nodded.
Although Jing Chiyan is very powerful, he has no special skills and his daily training costs are very high, so he is very short of money.
Jing Chiyan originally thought that Muchen was good at making money, and most of the money he earned belonged to his apprentice. Maybe his apprentice would soon become richer than himself, and he might end up having to borrow money from his apprentice in the future. Unexpectedly, this kid Muchen was quite sensible.
…………
Soon, the transfer day arrived as scheduled, and all the students were called to the square.
Yin Gui made a voice, asking the colleges that needed to transfer to fill out the application.
When Song Cheng saw Mu Chen walking out of the crowd, he jumped in anxiety. Just as Song Cheng was about to move, he was stopped by Lu Han.
"Brother Song, you have to accept the loss. You can't continue like this!" Lu Han held Song Cheng tightly and said with a smile on his face.
"Let me go, you shameless thing, you must have done something secretly?" Song Cheng said angrily.
Lu Han sighed helplessly, looking at Song Cheng with regret, and said, "Brother Song, this is really unfair to me. I didn't do anything. Everything was Mu Chen's own choice. Brother Song, you should understand that the charm of alchemy is much greater than that of talismans."
"Bullshit." Song Cheng said unhappily.
Song Cheng's face darkened as he looked at Jing Chiyan. Jing Chiyan, this damn bastard, this shameless liar, accepted his gift and plotted against him.
Jing Chiyan felt guilty when Song Cheng stared at him with his bloodshot eyes. He felt even more guilty when Lu Han looked at him with eyes full of gratitude.
"Master, Dean Song's eyes look like he wants to kill someone." Ye Shi stood beside Jing Chiyan and said with some gloating.
Jing Chiyan smiled nonchalantly and said, "A man of integrity has nothing to fear. Your master didn't lie. He was the one who didn't think things through. Who else can he blame?"
"Master, Dean Lu Han looks at you with very gentle eyes." Ye Shi said with his head tilted.
Jing Chiyan sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "Soon, his eyes will be more ferocious than Song Cheng's."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Well said." Master, you are finished.
…………
After Mu Chen filled out the application form, he stepped aside.
Only after seeing Muchen finish filling out the form did Lu Han let go of Song Cheng.
"Dean Song, you have to accept the defeat. You should understand that forced melons are not sweet. We must respect the wishes of students." Lu Han said to Song Cheng in a serious tone.
Song Cheng looked at Lu Han with gritted teeth and said unhappily, "We'll see."
"How is it? Have you found Muchen's application form?" Lu Han walked over to Yan Wu and asked.
Yan Wu frowned and said helplessly: "I've searched everywhere. He's not here."
Lu Han frowned and said anxiously, "How could he not be there? He filled out the form."
"I don't know! I've looked for him twice but couldn't find him." Yan Wu said with a bad expression.
Song Cheng had stood beside Lu Han at some point and said sarcastically, "Isn't there Mu Chen? Did something go wrong in your Dan Academy again? Did you send Mu Chen's application form to another academy?"
Lu Han's face darkened as he glared at Song Cheng unhappily. He then turned to the people from the Alchemy Institute and said, "Nothing? Look for it again!"
Yan Wu said helplessly: "Really not."
Song Cheng chuckled, "Oh, you did a great job in the Danyuan! You did a great job." Song Cheng said gloatingly.
Lu Han frowned, feeling hesitant. No, someone had really tampered with the application form again, or maybe Muchen had made a mistake himself this time.
…………
"Found it." Xia Qingli took out an application form and said.
Xia Qingyan came closer and said, "Yes, it's really him."
Although the two had guessed that Muchen would choose the Inscription Academy, they still couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they actually saw Muchen's application form.
No new level three alchemist would ever choose the Inscription Academy.
No new third-level Talisman Master would ever choose the Inscription Academy.
Of course, no dual-level third-level alchemist or talisman master would choose the Inscription Academy.
"Hey, Mu Chen's application form." A tutor next to Xia Qingyan couldn't help but shout.
Xia Qingyan's expression suddenly changed. As soon as the instructor's words came out, everyone around looked at her.
Xia Qingyan wanted to tear the tutor's mouth apart. The tutor seemed to realize that he was in trouble and quickly covered his mouth, but it was obviously too late.
…………
Lu Han hurried over to Xia Qingyan, "Where's Mu Chen's application form?"
Xia Qingyan stood up, looked at Lu Han leisurely, and said, "It's here with me!"
"Give it to me quickly!" Lu Han said anxiously.
Xia Qingyan frowned and said, "Give it to you, why give it to you?"
"You took the wrong one. Of course, you have to give it to me." Lu Han said as a matter of course.
Xia Qingyan said disapprovingly, "Dean Lu, you're mistaken. We're not as careless as you guys at the Fu Academy who can even make mistakes with students' application forms. Muchen applied to our Inscription Academy."
"Why would he, a third-level alchemist, apply to the Inscription Academy?" Lu Han asked in confusion.
Xia Qingyan smiled faintly and said, "Who knows? I think he discovered the charm of inscriptions, so he applied to our Inscription Academy."
Lu Han suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the application form from Xia Qingyan's hand, but Xia Qingyan dodged before Lu Han.
"Dean Lu, please read carefully. Muchen has indeed applied to our Inscription Academy. A forced melon is not sweet. Muchen is not interested in alchemy. You'd better not force him." Xia Qingyan said softly, holding the application form.
Song Cheng stood beside Lu Han, feeling a little weird. What a turn of events! Lu Han had just been saying something about a forced melon not being sweet, and Xia Qingyan had returned it to him so quickly.
Lu Han looked at the glaring inscription on the application form and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Lu Han suddenly looked at Jing Chiyan. Damn it, he actually felt grateful to this person before.
Jing Chiyan crossed his arms with an innocent look on his face.
Lu Han suddenly understood something. Damn it, Jing Chiyan had known it for a long time. This guy only said that Muchen would not stay in Fuyuan, but did not say that Muchen would choose Danyuan. He was deceived by Jing Chiyan.
Lu Han looked in the direction of Song Cheng. It seemed that he was not the only one who was deceived!
Jing Chiyan, this bastard, must have used the same method to deceive Song Cheng.
…………
Jing Chiyan folded his arms and watched the scene, a faint smile on his face. "Lu Han's face is turning green. It's rare to see him so upset!"
Ye Shi shook his head and said, "Master, many people hate you."
"What can we do? Geniuses are always easy to be hated by others." Jing Chiyan shook his head.
