TFHS: Chapter 149

The disciples of Sihong Academy, who came with Yu Xiao and Pei Yingmin, listened to the entire conversation with their chins in their hands.

Feng Ming’s fifth senior brother, Chen Tianlang, also came. He stood next to his master and listened to his junior brother complaining to his master with a smile.

Seeing the way the junior brother got along with their master, he wasn’t surprised at all about why their master loved their junior brother the most. IT wasn’t just due to his talent.

He smiled when he heard it at first, but later became annoyed. Who was the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion? They actually dared to hit his junior brother on the face with a whip? He wrote down this account.

Feng Ming and several other junior nephews and nieces also came. The disciples from Luoyue Peak, who didn’t deal well with Qiansui Peak, were also here.

They were also surprised at the way Feng Ming got along with his master. Who in Luoyue Peak dared to get along with their master (grandmaster) like this?

Wow, what else did they hear? Bai Qiaomo actually called Pei Yingmin by senior brother?

The latter was also considered the eldest senior brother in the academy. Those who weren’t from the same lineage as Dean Pei were accustomed to calling him Senior Brother Pei or Uncle Master Pei.

Now it seemed that Bai Qiaomo and Pei Yingmin had a very close relationship.

There were other teachers from the academy traveling with him. They saw that something wasn’t right with Bai Qiaomo’s situation.

“Bai Qiaomo, what is up with your cultivation? Isn’t your dantian destroyed?”

“What? Bai Qiaomo’s dantian is fine? What is his cultivation level? I can’t even tell.”

“The late stage of the essence liquid realm.”

A teacher reported this strength, and there was a gasp at the scene.

D*mn, many people at the academy had felt sorry for Feng Ming. They wondered why he, an alchemist with a bright future, had to take Bai Qiaomo, a useless waste, with him.

If he hadn’t stayed at the academy, many people probably would’ve talked to him to make him give up.

Now listen to this. Among the disciples the same age, who could reach the late stage of the essence liquid realm?

Some teachers’ strengths were still at the essence liquid realm. After all, essence dan realm masters weren’t everywhere. They were a rare group even at Sihong Academy.

At this time, Pei Yingmin said with a smile, “Yes, my junior brother’s dantian has been restored. Now he is the third disciple accepted by my master, my junior brother. Therefore, my junior brother will be one of the contestants who will win honor for our Sihong Academy this time.”

How long had he, the senior brother, been waiting to announce the news? Before, he had to avoid others when seeing his junior brother. It wasn’t easy for him.

Everyone was feeling happy yet mixed emotions. They were happy that there was such a powerful cultivator representing the academy, who would definitely get a good ranking.

The higher the performance of the academy, the most benefits the student would gain. They definitely wouldn’t hold back at this time.

The thing that made them feel complicated was that a disabled person had the good fortune to recover. They thought of Wu Yingyan, who had a completely different fate, and their expressions became strange.

It could be confirmed that Bai Qiaomo’s dantian was destroyed by someone hired by Wu Yingyan.

Unexpectedly, things changed and Wu Yingyan’s own dantian was destroyed due to an accident. He was injured even more seriously.

Now Bai Qiaomo’s dantian had been repaired and his cultivation improved while Wu Yingyan died at the hands of the woman he loved.

Of course, no one sympathized with his result. The news had spread long ago. Feng Linlang’s life after marrying into the Wu family wasn’t a human life. Wu Yingyan had done too many evil things and he was getting his retribution.

Yu Xiao had a cold expression on his face as he talked to his young disciple. “The NIngyuan Marquis’ Mansion, right? I will remember it. Rest assured, I will settle this account for you, Ming’er. They are so used to bullying others, and they dared to bully my disciple.”

Everyone knew that Yu Xiao had a mild temper and rarely got angry. But he was really angry now.

Not to mention the master, even the other disciples were angry when they heard it. Just by taking a few glances at the carriage and the coachman, the person inside greeted people with a whip and called them untouchables.

If it wasn’t for the league, ‘untouchables’ like them should stay away from Imperial City. How could ‘untouchables’ be worthy of stepping on the land of Imperial City and breathing the same air as them?

The teachers and students of the Imperial Academy, who came to receive them, also heard Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming’s complaints. How could they not know about the NIngyuan Marquis’ Mansion? They secretly thought that the NIngyuan Marquis’ Mansion was really in trouble this time.

It could be said that most of the disciples of the Imperial Academy came from wealthy backgrounds. They were either children of aristocratic families or children of powerful people. There were also many princes and princesses among them.

They didn’t think highly of the civilian disciples of Sihong Academy, but they weren’t arrogant enough to call them’ untouchables’ in public.

The reception staff warmly welcomed Yu Xiao’s group to the guest house arranged by the academy to rest. As a fifth-grade alchemist, Yu Xiao was also highly regarded by the Imperial Academy.

In fact, the Imperial Academy had long wanted to poach this person from Sihong Academy. Unfortunately, Yu Xiao wasn’t swayed at all.

Did the people of the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion know that their young lady bullied Yu Xiao’s disciple?

In fact, in the Imperial City, the disciples of the Imperial Academy had also heard that Yu Xiao had accepted a new disciple and was quite fond of him.

They all saw what happened just now. The rumors weren’t exaggerated at all.

The teachers and students of Sihong Academy settled down in the guest courtyard. Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were sent here by the young marquis.

The moment they made a move, the people from the NIngyuan Marquis’ Mansion followed them all the way to the Imperial Academy, where they watched Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo reunite with the teachers and students of Sihong Academy.

The person following them was shocked. How could these two be people with no background? He hurriedly turned around and reported the news to the marquis.

This time, there was no need to worry about losing them. He just had to ask around in Sihong Academy and he would surely find out the exact identities of the two people.

At the NIngyuan Marquis’ Mansion, Marquis Ningyuan waited for several days and finally received the news.

He stood up suddenly. “What? You said that these two people are disciples of Sihong Academy, and they went to join the main force of Sihong Academy today?”

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. It can’t be wrong.”

“D*mn, how can they be from Sihong Academy? Find out more about their identities in Sihong Academy.”

It wouldn’t matter if they were just ordinary disciples. After all, everyone knew that many disciples of Sihong Academy were of commoner origin. It didn’t matter if they were bullied.

“Ask around to find out which famous people from Sihong Academy have come.”

“Yes, Master. I’ll go and find out right away.”

Other essence dan realm masters were fine, as Imperial City had no shorter of essence dan realm cultivators. However, the two fifth-grade alchemists from Sihong Academy were coveted.

There were fifth-grade and even sixth-grade alchemists in Imperial City, but compared with the many powerful people in Imperial City, it was a situation where there were more cultivators and not enough alchemists.

Therefore, many powerful people tried their best to win over the two fifth-grade alchemists.

It was precisely due to the preciousness of a fifth-grade alchemist that not long after Yu Xiao moved in, the news that he came to Imperial City in person spread.

At this time, the person who went to inquire for information from the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion hadn’t returned yet. Therefore, Marquis Ningyuan got the news from his eldest daughter, who was married to the eleventh prince.

Marquis Ningyuan had no time to care about his youngest daughter. He immediately asked people to prepare gifts and send them to Master Yu Xiao as soon as possible.

If it touched Yu Xiao’s heart, perhaps he could get a furnace of pills from Yu Xiao.

Marquis NIngyuan even opened the storehouse of the mansion to search for precious treasures.

Marquis Ningyuan wasn’t the first to get the news. Feng Ming, who lived in the guest house with his master, had wide eyes as he saw the waves of gifts being delivered to the door.

Fifth Senior Brother Chen Tianlang patted his junior brother’s head with a smile. “Are you shocked? Junior Brother, you still don’t understand our master’s status as a fifth-grade alchemist? But sooner or later, you will also enjoy this treatment. Then your senior brothers and sisters can benefit from you.”

They knew from a letter that their junior brother was already a fourth-grade alchemist. How far was he from the fifth-grade?

In the past, their sixth junior brother had the highest talent in alchemy among them. Since the youngest junior brother came, this candidate was replaced by him.

Since he entered, his rapid promotion speed made his senior brothers and sisters ashamed, but also felt admiration.

Perhaps their junior brother would be the first among their fellow disciples to be promoted to a fifth-grade alchemist after their master.

They felt ashamed, but also happy and proud. It was easy to imagine how amazing it would be if their lineage had a second fifth-grade alchemist. Then no one could shake the status of the Qiansui Peak lineage.

It was estimated that once that happened, the disciples of the Louyue Peak lineage, as well as the peak master Cai Jinqiu himself, would be jealous to the point of being red-eyed. Perhaps they would even regret not snatching the junior brother to their lineage earlier.

If Feng Ming fell into their hands, that would destroy their junior brother’s talent. Then the situation that happened to their sixth junior brother would happen again.

Of course, they wouldn’t be able to snatch Feng Ming away. Given his personality, he wouldn’t choose the Luoyue Peak lineage.

Feng Ming pretended to be modest. “No no, my senior brothers and sisters are all very capable.

Chen Tianlang laughed.

Yu Xiao indeed doted on his disciples. Being his disciple was the most comfortable thing. Of course, he was also extremely strict and had very high requirements when giving guidance in alchemy.

At this time, if a gift was delivered to his door, he wouldn’t refuse as long as there was no request and the gift wasn’t too unusual. Otherwise, others would think that Yu Xiao had something against them.

It was fine to accept it, but if they wanted pills then they had to queue up. Yu Xiao only took a fixed number of orders every year, and they were all from Sihong Academy, giving the biggest benefits to Sihong Academy.

At this moment, Yu Xiao was listening to the conversation between the two disciples. Seeing the surprised expression on his little disciple’s face, he smiled and said, “Whatever you two like, just pick it. I’m not short of these things.”

Chen Tianlang wasn’t polite. He knew that their master always did this. Thus, he took Feng Ming to sort out the gifts for their master. At the same time, he picked out spiritual plants and other items that they could use.

Another powerful person came to deliver gifts, and Yu Xiao’s grand disciple received him. “Where are you from? The Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion? Sorry, our master has announced that no one from the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion will be received. Please take the gifts back.”

The person who came to deliver gifts was the steward of the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion, representing the status of Marquis Ningyuan. He was shocked to hear this.

What did this mean? All the people who sent gifts managed to send out the gifts, but only their Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion couldn’t?

The steward quickly stopped the man. “Young man, why aren’t you receiving people from the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion?”

The disciple snorted coldly. “Ask the people in your mansion what they have done. They bullied others, and now they want to send gifts? Who do they think we are? We won’t receive you. You are welcome to leave.”

He also had a temper. The person who was bullied by their Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion was their junior uncle. It was lucky that their Junior Sister Han hadn’t come, or she would’ve kicked out the person without any courtesy.
