Can’t you just speak plainly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll speak plainly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gang, who held the position of Headmaster, immediately stopped pacing and stepped into the courtyard, fixing his gaze on Yun Ye: “Marquis, I’ve heard your household recently received a distinguished guest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye nodded. “Correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gang’s eyes lit up: “Is he an old acquaintance from your sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye sighed helplessly: “Why are you so interested in this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gang chuckled: “Don’t dodge. I’ve heard this guest made your Wang Cai run up and down the mountain. Wang Cai is the brother you personally acknowledged—given your petty nature, you’d never hand it over to just anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unless... you utterly trust that person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye’s heart skipped, but he frowned: “How am I petty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, it’s because of this that I came here to hide from Sun the Immortal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sun the Immortal, as a Daoist, doesn’t care about my guest’s identity. Yet you, the Crown Prince’s Tutor and Headmaster of this academy, are more agitated than he is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Li Gang immediately changed his demeanor, puffing his cheeks and glaring: “You brat, I merely made an inference, and you start mocking me—isn’t that petty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, fine! Since you mention the academy, let me speak plainly to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since Mount Yuancang Academy was founded, how many times have you, as its teacher, actually given a lecture?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That ‘investigation of things’—a subject only you master—you’re always disappearing, rarely showing up, and when you do, you just drop a few obscure textbooks and leave us to figure them out ourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Poor old bones like mine must spend every day helping the academy’s boys conduct experiments...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come now, tell me the truth—if he truly is an old acquaintance from your sect, I’ll humble myself and personally visit to invite this master to teach at the academy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the earlier accusations, Yun Ye’s face grew awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing the latter part, he finally understood why Li Gang had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d come specifically to poach a teacher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye smiled and shook his head: “You’ve got the wrong idea entirely...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gang raised an eyebrow, instantly shifting from anger to delight, whispering: “So he truly is your sect’s old acquaintance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye’s expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gang paid no mind, continuing eagerly: “The villagers say this man is strikingly handsome, with an ethereal aura—likely young. Could he be your senior brother from the same sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye thought for a moment, then sighed: “You’ve said everything already. What can I say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yun Ye didn’t deny it, Li Gang’s face turned serious. “I truly don’t understand—if you don’t want outsiders to know your guest’s identity, why let him appear on Mount Yuancang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even I, who never leave the academy gates, can guess his identity. Do you think the people of Changancheng won’t figure it out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Li Gang lowered his voice: “Listen to me—invite your senior brother here. I’ll test his knowledge. If he’s truly a genius of the age, I’ll step down and yield the Headmaster’s seat to him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t refuse hastily—you’re clever enough to know this is the safest, most prudent course...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Li Gang assumed Yun Ye was hiding Lin Yu’s identity to protect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, only the Yun household’s old grandmother truly cared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu himself didn’t care at all about exposure—if he had even half a care, he wouldn’t have been discovered by mere mortals while supervising Wang Cai’s cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Yun Ye, he merely followed the old grandmother’s wishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After implanting the spiritual root into Wang Cai, other matters became secondary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure Wang Cai’s cultivation and immortality, Yun Ye didn’t care whether Lin Yu appeared in public—otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so clumsy with Li Gang, offering only half-hearted evasions and tacitly acknowledging Lin Yu’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Yun Ye deeply appreciated Li Gang’s concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head: “Sir, I thank you on my senior brother’s behalf, but he differs from me, a worldly man—he is a true transcendent, unattached, seeking only freedom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His visit to my home was merely a passing detour, stopping by to see me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In another two days at most, he will leave Changancheng...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gang frowned: “Once one has emerged, it’s not easy to vanish again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye smiled: “Let those with intent try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yun Ye was truly indifferent, Li Gang sensed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He furrowed his brow, studying Yun Ye for a moment, then suddenly said: “If I recall correctly, you once said that when you studied under that master, you were the least accomplished disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought you were being modest, but now it seems it was true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye bowed his head in shame: “I was lazy and didn’t study well—forgive me, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something’s off. Definitely off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye’s normal behavior was itself suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gang frowned, fell silent for a moment, then spoke again: “Could your senior brother truly possess immortal arts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye laughed, turning to look at Sun Simiao still working: “What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Simiao didn’t turn around: “I’ve lived this long and never seen a real immortal. Many Daoist disciples call me one—I wonder what makes me immortal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye shrugged: “See? Even the Immortal doesn’t believe it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not denying his senior brother’s identity didn’t mean admitting he was an immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this matter, Yun Ye still had to be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not for Lin Yu’s sake—mainly to avoid causing a great uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gang gazed at him deeply, then sighed: “Since you’re confident, I won’t press further. Just remember Mount Yuancang Academy—never forget it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ye understood Li Gang’s meaning and immediately bowed solemnly: “I shall remember!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gang nodded and turned to leave the humble courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the old master’s figure vanished from view, Yun Ye turned and respectfully bowed to Sun Simiao:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Daoist, for helping me lie...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Simiao paused his work, turned, and shook his head: “Tang Dynasty has known peace for only a few years—internal troubles remain, external threats unvanquished. This is no time for immortals to emerge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I aid you only out of compassion for the people, to prevent a repeat of Qin Shi Huang and Han Wu Di’s follies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friend, truly noble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slightly unfamiliar voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Simiao’s expression shifted, turning to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stood a young man in white robes, appearing as if from nowhere, smiling faintly: “I passed through Changancheng to visit my younger brother, heard you were here on Mount Yuancang, and for a long time I’ve longed to meet you, Daoist Lin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came uninvited—forgive me, Daoist Sun...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1560,"2026-06-20T00:29:28.871Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f9b6f43cd375c61413cc35e221d6c275e0e9f3de69e02ebf17f0cf87fd84519c","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-100","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-98",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
