Chapter 129: Arriving just in time
……
Under Nan Feng's handling, the matter of Tang San poisoning others was quickly resolved without causing a major scene. The only impact was that Qin Ming resigned to take responsibility.
Because it was Qin Ming who had brought Shrek to the Tiandou Royal Academy, nearly causing a disaster, he felt he had no face left to remain at the academy despite the three Education Committee members repeatedly trying to stop him. Qin Ming had no intention of changing his mind.
After submitting his resignation to the three committee members and writing a letter to Flender, Qin Ming left Tiandou City.
"Sigh, it's all my fault."
After reading the letter Qin Ming left behind, Flender felt a bitter taste in his heart.
With Qin Ming's current status at the Tiandou Royal Academy, he could have fully succeeded as a committee member in the future; his prospects were limitless! "Flender, don't be too sad. Qin Ming is still young; going out to travel isn't necessarily a bad thing," Yu Xiaogang said.
"A good thing?" Flender snorted coldly.
"What good thing? Do you know how hard it was for Qin Ming to get to where he is today?"
"All because of your good disciple!"
"Half a lifetime of Qin Ming's hard work has gone down the drain!"
"Tang San is your student, but Qin Ming is also my student!"
After saying this, Flender turned and left, feeling depressed.
Yu Xiaogang had been throwing his weight around at the Tiandou Royal Academy and provoked public anger, getting beaten up—that was his own fault!
But Qin Ming? His bright future had been completely ruined just because of this incident!
And "going out to travel"? A "good thing"? He had roamed the continent for half his life; did he not know what the situation was like outside?
There was no such thing as a good thing.
……
"Old Flender, don't be angry. Qin Ming just can't get over it for a moment; he'll be fine after going out for a walk," Liu Erlong comforted him.
"What do you mean 'can't get over it for a moment'? Don't I know what kind of person Qin Ming is? It was only because this matter was resolved quickly and nothing truly happened; otherwise, that child would have been ruined for life!" Flender said.
If Tang San had really poisoned the students of the Tiandou Royal Academy to death, given Qin Ming's personality, he would never have been able to recover from it in his entire life!
"But the matter was resolved perfectly, wasn't it?" Liu Erlong said.
"Qin Ming is still young. After traveling outside for two years to clear his mind, he'll come back in a few years."
"I'm just afraid he won't be able to let it go," Flender sighed.
Qin Ming was just too stubborn and set in his ways.
"Old Flender, Qin Ming is already an adult. Stop treating him like a child," Liu Erlong said.
"What you should be worrying about now are those few students of yours."
Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's disciple, and furthermore, Tang San's motive for doing this wasn't just for revenge, but mainly to save people, so she didn't know how to comment on it.
From the perspective of the Tiandou Royal Academy, Tang San was ruthless, but from the perspective of Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaogang, could they blame a Tang San who was willing to gamble his life for them?
One had to know that if this matter blew up, regardless of whether Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu's issues could be resolved, Tang San would be finished! Neither the Tiandou Royal Academy, nor the nobles of Tiandou City, nor even the entire Tiandou Empire would ever tolerate him!
"How can I manage them?" Flender covered his face.
Dai Mubai was a prince of Star Luo, and that kid would have to go back to face his "good brother" in a few years. Knowing he had no chance of winning, Dai Mubai was currently just letting himself go, living one day at a time.
Oscar had seen the prosperity of Tiandou City for the first time and couldn't pull his heart back now. Plus, having the desire but not the courage, that kid was becoming increasingly lecherous.
Ma Hongjun's problem was also very troublesome; he was already considering whether to let this child continue cultivating.
The Evil Fire kept strengthening as Ma Hongjun's cultivation increased. If it wasn't resolved, once the kid reached level 70, or even level 60, he would likely be burned to death by his own Evil Fire.
……
Yuexuan.
Dugu Yan also told Nan Feng about Qin Ming leaving the Tiandou Royal Academy. Nan Feng was not surprised by this; after all, that was just Qin Ming's personality.
Tang San was a student of Shrek, a student of Flender, and also his junior. Because of Flender, he couldn't go and discipline Tang San, but he also had no face left to remain at the Tiandou Royal Academy.
Not knowing how to face things, the only way was naturally to leave. "Teacher Qin is a very good person; he was truly unlucky in this matter," Dugu Yan said, feeling depressed.
Seeing her own teacher not doing well, she had thought of bringing him to the Tiandou Royal Academy to retire. It was originally a kind intention, but it ended up like this.
"Don't worry. Qin Ming isn't a child; he'll figure things out after going out to see the world," Nan Feng said.
"What about you? Why are you so idle, running over here every day?"
"How am I idle?" Dugu Yan looked innocent.
"I'm a Soul King. If it weren't for the upcoming Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, I could have already graduated from the Tiandou Royal Academy."
Most intermediate spirit master academies used level 30 Soul Elder or level 40 Soul Ancestor as graduation requirements, while top-tier advanced academies like the Tiandou Royal Academy used level 50 Soul King or reaching the age of 25 as graduation requirements.
She had already met the graduation requirements, so she didn't need to continue participating in the academy's prescribed training and could arrange her own training.
"Speak your mind," Nan Feng said.
"Uh..." Dugu Yan felt a bit awkward.
"Well, I wanted to say, that medicine of yours... could you give a portion to Lingling?"
"The Nine Heart Begonia is very strong! And Lingling, she..."
"I already gave it to her," Nan Feng said.
"Ah?" Dugu Yan was stunned.
"When?"
"I fed it to her last night," Nan Feng said.
"Just after waking up this morning, Nana and the others took her to hunt for a spirit ring. They should be almost at the Sunset Forest by now."
Dugu Yan was dumbfounded. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't know you were so idle," Nan Feng shrugged.
He wasn't very clear about the specific teaching arrangements of the Tiandou Royal Academy, but Ye Lingling had said she was quite busy.
Dugu Yan's eye twitched. "Isn't that because I'm running errands for you?"
"Fine, fine, thank you for your hard work, Miss Dugu." Nan Feng sat up and pulled Dugu Yan over.
"Let me give you a massage."
Dugu Yan's face flushed slightly. "It's broad daylight; isn't that inappropriate?"
"Oh." Nan Feng leaned back.
"Then you give me a massage."
Dugu Yan's expression froze. "Can't you tell I was just being modest?"
"I'll accompany you shopping another day."
"Three times!"
"Two times at most."
"Deal!"
"……"
"Did I arrive at a bad time?"
The door suddenly opened, and Bibi Dong and A Rou, who hadn't been seen for several months, stood at the entrance.
Looking at Dugu Yan, who had taken off her shoes and was jumping on Nan Feng's back, the two had different expressions.
Playing quite wildly, aren't you? "No, you arrived just in time," Nan Feng turned his head.
"Together?"
"……"
