Chapter 1139: Ancient Academy Records, Lots of Fun 26

Lan Wuyang took off running to report to the people in the courtyard.

"Report—"

The eight little companions in the courtyard who were still drinking and discussing practice methods all turned their heads, each showing gossipy and curious looks.

Xie Beiyao asked urgently, "How is it!"

Lan Wuyang shook his head, his expression indescribable.

"Xie Yuan Cheng is teasing Jin Chen... he seems unwilling to take responsibility, and after teasing he wants to kick the person out of the room."

"Everyone in the courtyard: 'Ah?!'"

The little companions were all stunned!

Even Si Ning, because the news was too explosive, followed the rhythm, let out a 'yi', 'Novel.'

Wan Zhou thought left and right, couldn't imagine what it would be like for Jin Chen to be teased.

Xie Beiyao's mouth twitched, and he exchanged a glance with Ling Xiuyu, both surprised and helpless.

I thought Xie Yuan Cheng couldn't resist Jin Chen's teasing and temptation, but actually the wronged one is Jin Chen.

This... this is actually pretty good, just a bit weird.

Ting Yang slowly picked up the fallen wine cup, "My goodness, I thought Brother Jin was a Divine Pavilion finding a young lady, turns out he made himself the Crown Prince's consort..."

Lan Wuyang clapped, "What's wrong! Not wronging Jin Chen again!"

Ting Yang hissed, "Just... weird."

"What's weird."

A low voice came from behind them; turning their heads, they saw Jin Chen and Xie Yuan Cheng walking side by side, seeming doubtful yet teasing.

Meeting Jin Chen's gaze, Ting Yang switched tone, "You're... strange... strangely handsome!"

To avoid a beating, everyone unanimously chose silence and started changing the topic.

Si Ning saw him approach, just about to speak, Jiang Yao and Ye Susu each covered one side of his mouth.

Suddenly two warm hands appeared on his cold cheeks, burning Si Ning made him shiver, successfully forgetting the question he wanted to ask.

Xie Yuan Cheng also felt this group was weird, his eyes darting left and right, looking guilty.

He frowned in puzzlement, touched his cheek, turned to ask Jin Chen, "Is there something on my face?"

Jin Chen looked over with interest, lightly lifting his chin to examine closely.

That gaze made Xie Yuan Cheng nervous.

He blinked lightly, leaned back, "Why are you staring so long?"

Jin Chen finally let go, pinched his fingertips, smiled: "No, it looks quite good."

"You say... I, the solitary one, am the most handsome young man of the Tianxuan Kingdom."

Xie Yuan Cheng, unashamed, muttered softly, patted his face to cool down.

——

The ten companions together brainstormed methods, and actually came up with many clever ideas; when reported to the old master and several instructors, they received unanimous praise.

And the missing tools were all handed over by Jin Chen to the Divine Pavilion to handle.

After some days, the Divine Pavilion's couriers of the tools arrived at the academy.

In the front courtyard training ground, the other companions were each holding their tools, while the Divine Pavilion members transporting the tools and Jin Chen spoke under a tree.

"How is the matter of the Right Protector handled?" Jin Chen asked.

"After the Pavilion Master learned the news, he was furious, entered the secret chamber alone with the Right Protector for half an hour, and the Right Protector's corpse was carried out."

The subordinate reported truthfully, and added: "Only since that day, the Pavilion Master has been stern-faced every day, sometimes shutting himself in the Study, allowing no one to enter."

This cheap father values loyalty most, and it's a longtime comrade who betrayed him after years of mutual support; his sorrow is certain.

Jin Chen pinched his brow, "Does Aunt Mei's persuasion not work either?"

"No use, Aunt Mei and the Pavilion Master had a big fight and already left the Divine Pavilion."

Jin Chen: "......"

No wonder he's sad; brother betrayed, and the new daughter-in-law also ran away.

Don't let this old man become depressed.

"Isn't there a newly discovered bandit den on the Eastern Island of the Beifeng Kingdom?"

Subordinate: "Yes, brothers have already gone to guard there; Young Master, do you want to cooperate with them?"

Jin Chen played with his folding fan, "No, go destroy the bandit den, bring back several hundred chests of treasures to let the old man be happy, happy."

Subordinate: "......"

He clasped his fists, "I accept the order."

After Jin Chen finished speaking, he saw Xie Yuan Cheng waving from afar on the training ground, and immediately smiled and walked over.

Just arrived at the training ground, Jin Chen received sighs and teasing from the other companions.

"Brother Jin! You're too partial!"

Ting Yang was the first to shout, "Our tool treasures are just one bag each, but the little Crown Prince gets a whole box!"

"Ay, ten-year-old friends can't compare... special person, huh!" Ye Susu tilted her head, teasing.

"What are you doing! You're not allowed to say that."

Xie Yuan Cheng rushed to Jin Chen's face, blocking him, laughing with vigor, "I'm strong and clever, just more than you!"

Jin Chen chuckled behind Xie Yuan Cheng, leisurely said, "Xie Yuan Cheng is right, each person's treasure is custom-made; to say favoritism... at most it's just personal bias."

"Yi..." Wan Zhou sighed, "Really not hiding anything at all."

Xie Beiyao standing outside shook his head, "Done, seeing Yuan Cheng like this, he's really fallen."

Ling Xiuyu silently held the tools and treasures in his bag, "His Majesty doesn't let us corrupt the Crown Prince, but we can't resist the Crown Prince's insistence on liking someone."

"That's right." Xie Beiyao quickly convinced himself, sat together with them, and studied the things Jin Chen had prepared for each person.

"What is this for?" Jiang Yao lifted a silver bracelet, knowing there was a mechanism but not understanding how to use it.

Jin Chen explained: "You are skilled in whip techniques; the five gemstones inlaid in the bracelet can each control silver threads of different lengths, which can be flicked in the air almost invisibly."

"The silver threads are a special quality of the Divine Pavilion; they are sharper than blades, and with internal energy assisting they can pierce through a human body."

Jiang Yao slowly revealed a look of surprise, her gaze at the bracelet turning reverent.

"What about mine then?" Lan Wushuang flicked the glove-like object, wearing it on her hand but still not knowing how to use it.

Jin Chen glanced at it and laughed: "You're wearing it backwards."

"Oh… no wonder I couldn't find the mechanism."

Lan Wushuang put it on correctly, discovered a small mechanism resembling an embroidery pattern beneath the glove, and pressed her fist against the empty ground.

Bang!

A soybean-sized iron ball shot out, exploding instantly upon contacting any ground object, with extremely strong lethality.

"Awesome!" Lan Wushuang cheered, "I like this!"

Everyone received the most suitable magical treasure.

Wanzhou is extremely fast; the item is a cloth as thin as a wing, nearly transparent. As long as speed is bolstered in daylight, it can make people's eyes dazed, leading them to mistakenly think there is a doppelganger.

Xie Beiyao's strength is the greatest; he possesses innate divine strength, which manifests as a spiral hammer that can be unleashed with strength reinforcement. One strike immediately splits skin and flesh, and leaves behind iron filings that cause unbearable pain, making the wound impossible to heal.

When the final gift for Xie Yuancheng was revealed, everyone's eyes lit up repeatedly.

Jin Chen, relying on Xie Yuancheng's Cosmos Pouch within his sleeve, carefully selected many powerful magical treasures, exquisite and formidable.

Xie Yuancheng was overjoyed and immediately gave Jin Chen a bear hug.

The ten of them were horsing around, and only quieted down when the four old masters arrived.

Jin Chen sent over the last few bags.

"This is a gift for the several masters; please accept it with a smile."

Lingxiao played with the horsewhip, saying, "I've just returned from handling sect affairs, and I heard you three killed three bandits at the academy, causing quite a stir."

Jin Chen clasped his fists, "Overpraise."

"Get lost, who praised you!"

Lingxiao laughed in anger.

With a flick of the whip, Jin Chen nimbly dodged it.

Murong Qian received the gift and had everyone gather and stand ready.
