Chapter 97

Originally today I had planned to go to Moon Pavilion to find Tang Yuehua, but who would have thought Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu's kung fu would be so good; it's made my anger subside considerably.

If it's sage mode, just go find the crazy old woman to mess around with.

After leaving Lan Ba Academy, a figure dropped to one knee before Yang Yun: "Sect Master, Zhu Zhuqing sent an urgent report; after Yu Xiaogang left the Tian Dou Royal Academy, Tang San suddenly summoned everyone."

"I fear there may be an anomaly!"

"The news from Jian Yu Hall was garbled, but Yang Yun managed to pick up a hint: that this kid Tang San seems to want to divide the celestial herbs?"

Why pick the moment Yu Xiaogang left the academy—could something else have happened that I don't know about?

"Could it be A Li's arrangement over there? No way, the news of the earth fire has always been tightly controlled; there shouldn't be any leak."

Yu Xiaogang being lured was just a setup; what's this operation, Pian San? Hiding things from his own teacher like that is quite interesting; it seems this time it's not just about snatching some celestial herbs that simple.

And we can still watch a good show.

At Tian Dou Royal Academy, Yang Yun brought Xiao Wu and swaggered through the school gate.

Since Xue Qing He previously became sworn brothers with Yang Yun at the school, everyone in Tian Dou Royal Academy knows Yang Yun.

As for Xiao Wu by Yang Yun's side, no need to ask—she's wearing a bunny maid outfit.

Needless to ask.

Nobles always have some peculiar tastes; isn't that normal? Everyone understands, everyone understands!

At this moment, deep in the forest of the academy, were Dai Mubai, Ausika, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and finally Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand why Tang San had summoned even her.

But it didn't stop her from informing Yang Yun; Tang San's sudden summoning was quite abrupt—something that had never happened since they entered Tian Dou Royal Academy to cultivate.

Coincidentally, Zhu Zhuqing received the news of Yang Yun's arrival, so she simply reported directly to him.

Earlier, Zhu Zhuqing had also received word to closely monitor Tang San's movements, which pointed to the possibility that he possessed celestial herbs; Zhu Zhuqing guessed this time was likely related to celestial herbs.

Regardless, report it first and talk later.

Tang San looked at everyone who had arrived, taking in each person's gaze and expression.

Having spent years navigating the royal court, Zhu Zhuqing's acting skills couldn't possibly reveal a flaw here.

She dodged perfectly.

Tang San glanced several times at Zhu Zhuqing; this girl's cultivation speed was actually much faster than his own, despite his possession of the Profound Heaven Skill.

After previously absorbing the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, his cultivation speed had increased a notch, but hers seemed to have changed as well.

She had always been pressing down on him.

But this time, he could finally press down hard on her in front of her.

And there's Ning Rongrong; even that proud little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect needs to be suppressed a bit, lest no one takes her seriously.

I, who possess celestial herbs, and we all—are no less talented than you.

"This time I've summoned everyone to discuss something very important."

Tang San pondered for a moment, and after seeing everyone's eyes gathered on him, he lightly coughed and said: "Although the Tian Dou Royal Academy welcomes our joining, it merely cultivates us as the second team."

"Do you think you can swallow this? Clearly, when we previously fought in the Soul Duel, we were evenly matched with the Tian Dou Royal Academy, so why are we being relegated to the second team without being allowed to contend? Moreover, we achieved that draw while missing a person."

"What do you mean, Xiao San?" Dai Mubai asked directly.

Tang San suppressed his taste. Then he restored to an immaculate pure expression and looked at everyone saying: "When I previously had the second awakening of Blue Silver Grass, I discovered several celestial-grade medicinal herbs at the awakening site; consuming them can increase soul power without any side effects, even improve aptitude, and later cultivation bottlenecks will be greatly weakened."

Dai Mubai's face instantly lit up with joy as he looked at Tang San and said: "Really? Xiao San, does such a miraculous thing really exist in this world?"

"Are you planning to give it to us for use? Do we need to pay a price? I'm willing to pay any price to buy it from you."

Tang San suddenly laughed and said: "Mubai, we're brothers—no need to talk about prices or not; the Shrek Seven Monsters are a whole, don't say things that harm unity."

"This time I only found three celestial herbs: Cock's Comb Phoenix Tail Chrysanthemum, Fine Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum, and Eight-Petal Celestial Orchid; each has its own medicinal properties and special effects."

"Pangzi, Cock's Comb Phoenix Tail Chrysanthemum can purify flames and increase their power; it's the most suitable celestial-grade medicinal herb for your martial soul." Saying this, Tang San took out the celestial-grade medicinal herb and placed it before Ma Hongjun.

Tang San then looked at Dai Mubai and said: "Mubai, this stalk is Fine Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum; consuming it circulates qi through the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, allowing one to cultivate an indestructible diamond body; it is also the most suitable celestial-grade medicinal herb for your White Tiger martial soul."

"The remaining Eight-Petal Celestial Orchid, judging by its medicinal properties, is suitable for Ning Rongrong, Ausika, and Zhu Zhuqing; but Rongrong you have already taken the celestial-grade medicinal herb Splendid Osmanthus, and Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation speed is not slow either; so this celestial-grade medicinal herb will go to little Ausika."

"I will return to the awakening site later; if I discover any other celestial-grade medicinal herbs, I will certainly not forget you."

Ning Rongrong originally felt a moment of delight upon hearing Pian San mention her name.

But in the end she came up empty, visibly disappointed.

Zhu Zhuqing put her arm around Ning Rongrong's shoulders and smiled: "It's fine; Xiao Ao is a food-system soul master, cultivation is harder for him than for us battle soul masters, so giving it to him is no problem."

Just then.

A gust of wind blew, making Tang San suddenly alert as he drew the Zhuge Divine Crossbow aimed at the suddenly appearing black figure.

Purple Extreme Demon Pupil!

Purple light flashed, his pupil power greatly increased, and Tang San saw Yu Xiaogang coughing blood as if suffering severe internal injury, and Flender with a face full of vicissitudes as if struck by a deadly blow.

"Dean?"

"Teacher?"

"Grandmaster?"

A crowd exclaimed with different titles; Pian San didn't even have time to explain how to consume the celestial herbs, hurriedly rushing to Yu Xiaogang's side.

He took out a ninth-grade purple azalea leaf and slowly placed it into Yu Xiaogang's mouth to be consumed.

A warm current flowed through Yu Xiaogang's body, but it could not warm his heart, which was now as cold as ten-thousand-year-old cold jade.

"Teacher, how are you? You said you would temporarily leave the academy; how did you become like this?"

"Dean Flender, what exactly happened?"

Tang San looked at Flender beside him, whose condition was equally abnormal, and asked.

Upon hearing Tang San's question, Flender slowly lifted his head; his turbid eyes actually revealed a sense of despair.

Near his ears, it seemed as if the sobbing sounds rose and fell again, and under the lamplight the shadows of the two people blended together and swayed.

Bang!

Tang San and everyone else seemed to hear the sound of a heart breaking.

Immediately behind everyone, two shadows at the doorway blocked their view.

Tang San's Purple Extreme Magic Eyes looked over, and instantly his eyes widened: "Xiao Wu!!!"
