Chapter 74

If you treat money as God, it will torture you like a devil.

After ten days of such madness, Zhang Xingyu earned over a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

However, the calls to kick him out of the academy also rang out again.

November 1st, sunny, on the way home from school.

Hu Siping said with a face full of worry: "Xingyu, you can't go on like this. Now, many people in the academy are dissatisfied with you."

Zhu Dafu praised loudly: "Tsk tsk, Brother Xingyu, you have been in school for less than two months, and you have become a five-title celebrity. Good-for-nothing, Toad, Returned-from-the-dead Ghost, Perverted Man, Vampire. Brother Xingyu, my admiration for you is like the surging river, continuous and endless, and like the Yellow River disaster, out of control..."

Bai Xiaosheng lowered his head and wrote in his small notebook: "On the first day of the eleventh month, in the 100,002nd year of the Immortal Era, Zhang Xingyu was promoted to a five-title celebrity, Good-for-nothing, Toad, Returned-from-the-dead Ghost, Perverted Man, Vampire. Each title is unique, unprecedented and unrepeatable."

The four of them hadn't walked far when Ouyang Lanlan chased after them from behind.

She said with a face full of disgust: "Zhang Xingyu, my father wants you to go to his office immediately."

After speaking, Ouyang Lanlan covered her face with her hand, turned around, and ran away quickly.

What is this situation? Zhang Xingyu wondered in his heart.

On the side, Zhu Dafu gave a thumbs up: "Brother Xingyu, you are really awesome. You just had an untold story with the sister-in-law, and now you have hooked up with the Dean's daughter."

Zhang Xingyu gave him a light knock on the head: "What are you thinking? Ouyang Lanlan is not Brother's dish, Brother only likes Tang Yunxi."

Two quarters of an hour later, Dean's office.

Zhang Xingyu stood by the table, eyes watching the nose, nose watching the heart.

From the moment he entered the room, Xu Yun Lao Dao had been gloomy and silent.

The old Daoist put on this posture, obviously wanting to vent his anger on himself.

How could Zhang Xingyu give him a chance.

Silence is gold.

This Zhang Xingyu can also do.

After a long time, Xu Yun Lao Dao spoke: "Zhang Xingyu, you are very good at causing trouble."

Without waiting for Zhang Xingyu to answer, he raised his volume again: "Zhang Xingyu, now many students have jointly complained about you, saying that in order to grab money, you disturb others' cultivation, disrupt teaching order, and demand the academy to kick you out. Regarding this matter, what do you have to say."

"Dean, they are purely slandering. I just like the beautiful environment by Lover's Lake and walked around in the small woods. They slandered me for disturbing people's cultivation, may I ask the Dean, they don't cultivate in their own cultivation rooms, but run to public places like small woods to talk about love, this can't be blamed on others. Also, saying I disrupt teaching order, this is simply nonsense. I am a person who studies hard, and I arrive at the classroom early for class every time. I am just concerned about my friends and brothers, helping them grab a seat. Some people are jealous that my seat is good, and pay to exchange, this is called 'Zhou Yu hits Huang Gai, one is willing to hit, one is willing to be hit.' As for taking tasks, that is because I value my contribution to the school. I have strong ability and am diligent, taking more tasks and making more contributions than those lazy people, that is very normal." Zhang Xingyu argued.

"This" Xu Yun Lao Dao was speechless.

After being stunned for a long time, he spoke again: "No matter what, causing dissatisfaction among other students and causing public anger is always wrong."

Zhang Xingyu straightened his back: "Dean, I don't agree with what you said. The head is on one's own body, the mouth is on one's own head, how others think, how others say, I can't control. I believe in one sentence, walk your own path, let others talk."

Xu Yun Lao Dao was speechless.

Is this Zhang Xingyu a donkey, why doesn't he listen to advice.

After a long time, he said earnestly to Zhang Xingyu: "Zhang Xingyu, people don't live in the world alone. Leave a line in everything you do, so that everyone can meet well. Offend fewer people, make more good connections, it is always good for yourself."

"Dean, I highly agree with what you said. Actually, I am a very kind person, never making things difficult for others. When I see ants passing by, I have to stop. When I see an old grandmother crossing the road, I immediately go up to help." Zhang Xingyu clapped and praised.

Xu Yun Lao Dao nodded: "Since you agree, don't go to the small woods and Lecture Hall to sell seats in the future, and don't go to the Task Hall to grab tasks."

"Dean, I don't agree with what you said again. Selling seats, taking tasks, this is my way to make money. I don't steal, I don't rob, I don't violate academy rules, why can't I do it. You must know, if you don't let me do it, I will lose hundreds of spirit stones a day, and tens of thousands of spirit stones a year. I am still counting on using these spirit stones to cultivate. If you don't let me do it, you are cutting off my path to wealth; cutting off my path to wealth is blocking my cultivation; blocking my cultivation is wanting my life. May I ask the Dean, are you trying to force me to death?" Zhang Xingyu asked back with determination.

Xu Yun Lao Dao was speechless again.

He thought, Zhang Xingyu this kid, why are his reasons one after another, and it's hard for people to refute.

He touched his long beard, pondered for a long time, and then said: "I don't want to stop you from cultivating and harm your life. I am doing it for your own good. Besides, there are many ways to make money, not just those few. As long as you don't do it excessively and cause public anger, the academy will not ask."

Zhang Xingyu thought for a while pretentiously, and then said reluctantly: "Dean, it's not that I can't give up. However, once I give up, the loss is too great, seriously affecting my cultivation. If the academy must make me give up, then it must give me corresponding compensation."

Xu Yun Lao Dao thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, as long as you give up, the academy can compensate you with one thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Zhang Xingyu shook his head: "Dean, one thousand is not enough for a fraction of my loss. My opinion, at least thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"Are you robbing? Two thousand low-grade spirit stones, no more." Xu Yun Lao Dao said.

"Dean, the academy must have sincerity, otherwise I won't agree. Twenty-five thousand low-grade spirit stones." Zhang Xingyu said.

"Twenty-five thousand is impossible, at most five thousand." Xu Yun Lao Dao stared at Zhang Xingyu and said.

"Five thousand is too little, at least twenty thousand." Zhang Xingyu stared back.

After a round of verbal sparring and bargaining, the two sides finally reached a deal with ten thousand spirit stones.

Zhang Xingyu looked at Xu Yun Lao Dao with a smile: "Dean, ten thousand spirit stones are really too little. I really need a large amount of spirit stones, can you help me think of a way?"

Xu Yun Lao Dao wiped the sweat from his head: "Stinky kid, what do you need so many spirit stones for?"

"Used for cultivation. I found a cultivation method suitable for me from ancient books. But just entering the Qi Refining stage will consume tens of thousands of spirit stones. Dean, for the sake of us watching a play together, can you help me?" Zhang Xingyu answered.

Xu Yun Lao Dao's old face turned red.

He took a piece of paper from the drawer, wrote a few words in a dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing way, and handed it to Zhang Xingyu.

"Stinky kid, take my guarantee and go to the academy's finance department to apply for a ten thousand low-grade spirit stone student loan for poor students. This is all I can do for you."

Zhang Xingyu looked down and saw the paper wrote: "Finance Department, please handle a ten thousand low-grade spirit stone student loan for first-year freshman Zhang Xingyu. Guarantor: Ouyang Mingxiu."

So, this old ghost is called Ouyang Mingxiu.

After reading it, Zhang Xingyu bowed to Xu Yun Lao Dao to thank him: "Thank you, Dean Ouyang."

Xu Yun Lao Dao threw him a small storage bag again, and then waved his hand: "Get out, stinky kid. Don't cause trouble for me in the future."

"Don't worry, Dean, there won't be anything. Even if there is, it won't affect you." After Zhang Xingyu finished speaking, he ran away in a puff of smoke.
