Chapter 94: Making Something Out of Nothing (Third Update)
Unexpectedly, the lecher in front of him turned out to be a cultivator from outside the domain! This was beyond Jiang Xiaoyu's expectations. However, this was also for the better; after all, someone like him wasn't worthy of attention anyway.
A group of people surrounded Jiang Xiao Yu and the other person, preventing them from escaping. The crowd looked at them with a mixture of smiles and seriousness, like birds in a cage.
"You refused to drink when I toasted you, now you'll have to drink a penalty cup! You've offended Master Yan Fei, now you'll have to face the consequences!"
"This little girl doesn't look bad, wait for Yan Fei Shixiong to interrogate her alone later!"
Having heard this, Ai Wenshu was suddenly furious and wanted to teach these ignorant guys a lesson! But she was pulled back by Jiang Xiaoyu, who slightly shook her head, indicating that they should not act rashly for the time being.
To be honest, Jiang Xiao Yu didn't really put this group of people in his heart. Even if he came alone, he wouldn't have any fear. Under the Divine Bridge, he was an invincible existence! Not to mention that his current strength had greatly increased, which was even more impressive!
"Are you all not also students of this academy? How can you be so rude and say we are outsiders? If you want to take us down, that's fine, but at least provide some evidence."
"Evidence? Haha! How ridiculous, my words are the evidence!" Yan Fei said with a smirk. Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu like this, he thought that his opponent was afraid, so he decided to use words to persuade himself.
So he was even more certain of his conjecture, that these two people were likely not even in the Dragon Realm, but only in the Cloud Ascension Realm. Otherwise, why would they be so wary of them?
"This statement is quite different! If what you say is evidence, then what does Mr. Er's words count as, and what does the principal's words count as?" Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly came up with this sentence out of nowhere.
Zi Yan may have been indifferent when he heard the words "Purple Flame", but when he heard the two words "Dean's words", his expression changed and he asked, "What did the Dean say?"
"The Dean said you are a master from outside the domain." Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Yan's face remained calm, but inside he was shocked to the core. Had his identity been discovered by him? No, that was impossible! He had hidden himself very deeply, and even some of the divine bridge cultivators in the academy hadn't detected anything unusual!
Thinking of this, his uneasy heart calmed down a bit.
The rest of the people couldn't help but burst out laughing, how could they be so ignorant? They were high-ranking members of the Wangyue Party, after all. How could they possibly be outsiders? The person in front of them was probably desperate and had no other choice, which is why he was speaking such nonsense.
Hearing the laughter of the crowd, Yan Fei's heart became more at ease, and then he coldly looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, saying: "A pack of nonsense! The principal is already unknown where he went, it has been a long time since he returned to the college, when did he say such things?"
Jiang Xiaoyu, however, was very calm and said: "I've seen the dean, so he told me. If even the dean's words don't count, then what do your words count for? Don't you think that whatever you say is true? You say the dean didn't tell me, then the dean didn't tell me?"
Yan Feng was stunned, what's going on! The other person's words were too circuitous, but upon careful consideration, wasn't this putting himself and the Dean at odds with each other?
Looking at the other person's expression, Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but secretly laugh in her heart. This foolish guy, he came up with a phrase that wasn't even a tongue twister, and yet it made him so hesitant, definitely because he had a guilty conscience, which was why he spoke so freely.
Why hasn't Zi Yan arrived yet? Jiang Xiao Yu was puzzled about this, knowing that the disciple had left for a while. In his opinion, it's better to let the academy handle its own affairs, and if he were to intervene, he couldn't do so in such an obvious and arrogant manner, after all, he didn't have any grudges with the principal.
And having said that, the other party hesitated abruptly and did not make a move for a while.
Ai Wenshu, who was standing beside him, was also secretly amused. She estimated that this person had been turned around by the master and didn't know how to respond for a while. Unconsciously, Ai Wenshu admired the master even more. Not only was he strong, but his eloquence was also excellent! When it came to teasing people, there was no need to use force at all!
A man with purple hair, wielding a long sword, only to see the empty room filled with sword energy everywhere! Each sword energy contains a vast and boundless aura!
This person is indeed Ziyen! He didn't rush to cultivate his realm, but instead was comprehending the Haoran Sword. This sword technique is vast and profound, once cultivated successfully, then gathering ten clouds of mist will be a natural process.
Can't help but say, this sword technique is too suitable for myself! Zi Yan's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude, and he had to thank that senior, if it wasn't for that senior's generosity, how could he have obtained such a divine technique?
"Heaven's favor is vast, and the earth's master is naturally so!"
Zi Yan's understanding of the Hao Ran sword is not small, and he has now stood at the edge of minor completion. The distance to pure and perfect is only a paper-thin distance away. As long as he breaks through this layer of paper, his Hao Ran sword will enter a brand new realm!
Outside the door, the gatekeeper disciple said to the door servant: "There is a person outside the courtyard who claims to be Bodhi and says he is an old friend of the second master. He has come to visit and asks you to pass on the message."
The gatekeeper frowned and said unpleasantly: "Second Master is currently in seclusion, contemplating the Supreme Divine Ability, and temporarily does not see any guests."
The gatekeeper's disciple was taken aback, then shook his head helplessly. It was indeed a bit too coincidental that Second Master happened to be in seclusion at this time. Upon careful recollection, he remembered that Second Master had indeed gone out once before and had been in frantic seclusion ever since his return.
"Alright! After Second Master leaves the pass, please also convey to a senior named Bodhi that his good friend has come." The disciple guarding the gate said.
He can only do his best here, and he has fulfilled his duty. That senior Bodhi should not blame him. After all, once a cultivator closes up, it's hard to say when they'll come out, and since they've closed up, they must have gained some insight into their cultivation, so it's not good to disturb them.
Na Men Tong nodded and said: "When Mr. Er comes out of the pass, I will inform him."
After the gatekeeper's disciple left, the door boy couldn't help but feel puzzled. When did the Second Master make friends outside? And what a strange name. If he knew that Zi Yan had not only made friends outside, but also many friends, I wonder what he would think.
Back at the entrance of the Academy, the gatekeeper saw a large crowd gathered together. He took another look at their uniforms and his expression changed instantly. It was clear that the name of the Moonwatch Party didn't have a particularly good reputation in the hearts of these Academy students.
The old man stood silently to the side, and the disciple guarding the gate didn't say a word. When Jiang Xiaoyu saw him return, his eyes lit up instantly, and he strode out in big steps, directly pushing open the people surrounding them.
"What about Purple Flame?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked in puzzlement.
Take a closer look, it seems like he's the only one who came back, why didn't I see Zi Yan?
The gatekeeper's disciple replied honestly: "Second Master is currently in closed cultivation, I have already informed his door servant, and he will be notified as soon as he comes out."
Jiang Xiaoyu's eyebrows furrowed, it seems that he came at the wrong time! Now it's really depressing, how to deal with these people?
"Haha! As expected, you're trying to deceive me. You knew Mr. Er was in seclusion, so you came at this time. What else do you two have to say?" Yan Fei couldn't help but feel smug.
In his opinion, these two people are absolutely strange, but he can't say how strange they are. Zi Yan is in seclusion, and who knows when she will come out. After capturing the two of them himself, he can cover up the news again, and who would know it was him?
In his heart, he thought so, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to Aiwenshuo's body. Looking at this red-haired woman, Yan Fei secretly sighed in admiration, never expecting that there would be such a talented woman in the Divine Realm. The veil covered most of her face, but it couldn't hide her unique temperament! Like a high and mighty queen, making people unable to help but want to conquer!
Jiang Xiao Yu's eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and then a smile spread across his face.
"Promoted to Purple Flame, Hao Ran Jian further advanced, gained 2 promotion points, gained cultivation, due to your breakthrough..."
It seems like they're coming out after all! Jiang Xiao Yu thought to himself. If the other party doesn't do anything else, they should probably be able to catch up soon.
That's why I didn't let Aiwenshu take action, because this is the Academy, and after all, she is a foreign apprentice. Once you encounter unreasonable people in the Academy, conflicts are inevitable. If those foreign apprentices are alarmed, how can they get promotion points? It's always better to be careful and cautious than to rush forward recklessly.
"No matter who comes today, you can't be saved! Two outsiders, pretending to be Mr. Er's friends, want to sneak into our college, obviously with ulterior motives! Take them down!" Yan Fei suddenly put a big hat on the two men's heads.
"Who dares to make a move?" Jiang Xiaoyu said calmly.
He stood there, with one hand behind his back, exuding endless confidence on his face, like a supreme master, giving people a feeling of being overwhelmed by a towering mountain, and for a moment, no one dared to make a move, all intimidated by Jiang Xiaoyu!
It seems that I've been pretending to be a bit too much lately! Now it's gotten to the point where it comes naturally, and these little rabbits are completely stunned!
Zi Yan felt great after leaving the gate, so he directly called over a servant and had him bring over some clothes for him to change into. Although his current clothes weren't dirty, they had been worn for quite a while now, so changing into something new would be good too.
Mentong took the clothes and said, "By the way, sir, the gatekeeper's disciple came to report that there is a person named Bodhi who claims to be your friend. I told him you were in seclusion, so I didn't see him."
Zi Yan was taken aback for a moment, and the clothes in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably. He hastily asked, "When did the gatekeeper's disciple arrive?"
"Just a little while ago..." Meng Tong was puzzled. Looking at Mr.'s appearance, he seemed to be very tense, who exactly is this Bodhi?
But in the next moment, Zi Yan's body had already disappeared into the house.
