TFHS: Chapter 89

Feng Ming was a thick-skinned person. The moment he saw Yu Xiao’s attitude, he knew that Yu Xiao was very satisfied with himself. Feng Ming immediately seized the opportunity. “Disciple pays homage to Master.”

Dean Pei looked over. He saw that this was the young disciple who came to Yu Xiao’s door. He looked like a strange and clever child.

At Dean Pei and Yu Xiao’s age, a 16 year old boy like Feng Ming could indeed be called a child. He was still very young.

Yu Xiao was stunned for a moment before laughing. “Okay, Disciple, you don’t need to be so polite. The formal apprenticeship ceremony will be held after you and Bai Qiaomo are admitted.”

Feng Ming immediately got up and said with a bright smile, “Yes, I will listen to Master.”

The first impression at their first meeting made him feel more satisfied with his master. This was worthy of being the one picked out by Feng Ming and his father.

Yu Xiao and Dean Pei both read the meaning in his eyes and couldn’t help but burst out laughing. This was such an interesting child.

From Dean Pei’s perspective, Yu Xiao’s future life would definitely be much more interesting with this young apprentice around.

Also, seeing that 50 million incident that happened outside before he even entered Sihong Academy, he must be very lively.

Many disciples in their academy were talking about it in an envious tone. Some disciples were ready to make a move, and some ran out of the academy to join the search teams.

Those fools must not have expected that the person involved had already arrived at Sihong Academy.

However, it must be said that the two of them had their own ability to be able to collect nearly 50 million yuan crystals in such a short period of time. He wouldn’t have been able to do it at their age.

Therefore, as the dean, he accepted and secured these two disciples no matter who came to stop him.

As they waited for Bai Qiaomo to come out, Feng Ming walked up to his new master and Dean Pei. He whispered, “I have a proposal.”

Okay, this was a bold person. Yu Xiao and Dean Pei were already mentally prepared, so it wasn’t surprising to see him make such a move.

Han Shu and Sheng Duo wanted to cover their faces, pretending not to see or hear.

Dean Pei put his hands behind his back and said, “Let’s talk about it first.”

Feng Ming felt that Dean Pei was very wise, so he said, “I think we can hide the fact that Brother Bai and I are the Wen and Wu brothers.”

Dean Pei laughed in his heart and said calmly, “Why? No matter whether it is Bai Qiaomo’s identity or the fact that he is a fourth-grade formation master, it is already shocking enough.”

Feng Ming immediately said, “Don’t be shocked, just be low-key.”

‘This b*stard.’ Dean Pei and Yu Xiao agreed unanimously. If they wanted to keep a low-profile, why do such a high-profile thing?

Feng Ming continued, “In fact, Brother Bai and I just want to find a place to cultivate quietly. We picked and chose before feeling that Sihong Academy was the most suitable for us. Even though there are some people messing around in Sihong Academy, most of the disciples are dedicated to cultivation. The overall atmosphere of Sihong Academy is much more positive than other places.”

“If there is a disciple in Sihong Academy who is deliberately harmed by others and his talent destroyed, I believe that Dean Pei will definitely never do something like knowing who the murderer is but now pursuing it, even allowing the victim to swallow the bitter pill alone, right?”

Dean Pei thought that this was definitely a little guy with too many thoughts. He actually attacked Dean Pei first. Dean Pei smiled inwardly and said, “At such a young age, you have good vision. Of course, Sihong Academy won’t be the same as the Kunyuan Sect and others. Do I want to give up the good reputation of the Sihong Academy that has been developed over many years? Besides, Sihong Academy has its own law enforcement team. Anyone who violates the academy’s regulations will be severely punished.”

Feng Ming immediately gave a thumbs up. “Sure enough, this is where Brother Bai and I want to stay.”

Feng Ming put down his fingers and continued, “So, Brother Bai and I just want to cultivate quietly and leave those high-profile things to others. Master, don’t you think so? I just want to learn from Master, listen to Master’s teachings, and improve my own cultivation and alchemy skills. I want to strive to become a fifth-grade alchemist like Master as soon as possible.”

Han Shu and Sheng Duo both exhaled loudly.

Dean Pei couldn’t help glancing at Yu Xiao. Was it really okay for Yu Xiao to accept such a loud-mouthed disciple?

Yu Xiao didn’t dislike Feng Ming’s tone and smiled kindly. “My disciple has this ambition. As your master, I am very happy. Once I officially enter the academy, I will definitely have high standards and strict requirements for my disciple.”

Feng Ming patted his chest. “Master, just come over, and I will follow you. A fifth-grade alchemist is nothing. As master and apprentice, we will strive to become sixth-grade alchemists in the future.”

Dean Pei finally couldn’t help laughing. Yu Xiao’s eyes also curved in a smile.

Even though they were ‘talking and laughing here,’ the cultivators passing by couldn’t see or hear them and passed by directly. Otherwise, how could the two bigshots appear here without causing a sensation?

The door of the cave behind them opened from the inside. Bai Qiaomo, who had put on a new robe, stood tall and straight like a pine tree. He walked out of the cave in a neatly dressed manner.

At first glance, Dean Pei secretly praised him for being a handsome young man with surging vital energy. It felt like he had just been promoted to the essence liquid realm.

The Kunyuan Sect abandoned such a proud man, but Sihong Academy accepted him with joy.

He also had to thank the Kunyuan Sect for giving up Bai Qiaomo, or it wouldn’t be the Sihong Academy’s turn to take action.

“You are Bai Qiaomo. Let’s go to Sihong Academy and talk.”

There were two more seniors outside. Bai Qiaomo wasn’t surprised at all. He cupped his fists together and said, “It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. I have kept these two seniors waiting for a long time.”

Dean Pei rolled up the four juniors with his sleeves and disappeared together with Yu Xiao.

After arriving at Sihong Academy, Dean Pei put down the four juniors. The place where they settled was the dean’s residence.

Feng Ming took the time to murmur to Bai Qiaomo for a while, telling him everything that had been done during his seclusion, even if it had been discussed in advance.

Dean Pei and Yu Xiao couldn’t hear their voices, but they both smiled and listened silently.

Han Shu and Sheng Duo admired Feng Ming’s courage, which was really extraordinary.

Bai Qiaomo was always smiling. Dean Pei had been observing him. Seeing his calm and composed posture, Dean Pei liked him even more. He thought of taking Bai Qiaomo under his tutelage directly.

After listening to Feng Ming’s words, Bai Qiaomo stepped forward and saluted respectfully. “Thank you, Dean Pei and Senior Yu, for being tolerant of us juniors and giving us the opportunity to join Sihong Academy.”

Dean Pei asked bluntly, “Are you willing to worship me as a teacher and be my disciple?”

Bai Qiaomo was stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement. “I am naturally willing, but I was in the Kunyuan Sect before…”

Dean Pei was clearly impressed by his experience and interrupted him. “It’s okay. You have been expelled from the Kunyuan Sect a long time ago. You are no longer a disciple of the Kunyuan Sect. Now that you have joined another sect, you can’t be considered a traitor.”

Bai Qiaomo stopped refusing. “Disciple Bai Qiaomo pays homage to Master.”

“Haha…” Dean Pei was overjoyed and hurriedly came over to help up his beloved disciple. He liked this person before, but now that Bai Qiaomo was his disciple, he liked him even more. “Okay! Okay! My disciple is the best.”

Bai Qiaomo got up and smiled calmly.

The reason why he was willing to become Dean Pei’s disciple was that he understood what type of person the dean was.

Sihong Academy’s ability to maintain its current style was inseparable from Dean Pei’s persistence.

Under his persistence, Sihong Academy still maintained its original philosophy and provided a way out for the middle and lower-class cultivators. As long as they had talent and were willing to work hard, they would have a chance to get ahead in Sihong Academy.

In his previous life, he had never entered Sihong Academy. However, he was no stranger to the reputation of Sihong Academy. Later, during his training, he met some cultivators who had gone out of Sihong Academy and formed a friendship with a few of them.

He didn’t know if they could meet again in this life, but he had a pretty good impression of Sihong Academy due to this.

Unexpectedly, he would be able to become Dean Pei’s disciple when he was reborn. This status was even more prestigious than being a disciple of Kunyuan Sect at the beginning.

“Good disciple, come here and talk. This is your Uncle Yu. If you need any pills in the future, ask your Uncle Yu to refine them.”

Dean Pei took his new apprentice’s arm and went to the courtyard. He sat down at the stone table and introduced Yu Xiao.

Bai Qiaomo saluted again. “Qiaomo has met Uncle Yu.”

Yu Xiao looked at his disciple, who was very excited for Bai Qiaomo due to this incident. He had just accepted a little disciple, but he felt that the little disciple’s elbow had been turned outward.

He glanced at Dean Pei and said kindly to Bai Qiaomo, “We are a family. You don’t have to be so polite.”

This was the husband of his disciple. Bai Qiaomo was married to his disciple, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they were a family. Did he need the person surnamed Pei to ask for favors from him?

Dean Pei laughed as if he had just remembered it. “Yes yes, my disciple and your disciple are married. We are getting closer.”

Han Shu was secretly happy beside him. Obviously, her grandmaster had her own opinion on Dean Pei.

Of course, Yu Xiao had his own objections. This person’s words were too shameless. He said angrily, “Okay, let’s sit down and get down to business.”

Dean Pei stopped joking. He and Yu Xiao recounted what Feng Ming proposed before Bai Qiaomo came out of seclusion. Now they asked Bai Qiaomo what he thought.

In fact, if Dean Pei announced that he had accepted Bai Qiaomo as a disciple then it didn’t matter if his identity as Wu Hai was revealed. All external actions against him and Feng Ming would cease, or they would be going against him, the dean.

Bai Qiaomo glanced at Feng Ming, and Feng Ming said, “It is up all to Brother Bai. You can do whatever Brother Bai says.”

Yu Xiao secretly thought, ‘Does my little apprentice have no persistence at all?’

Bai Qiaomo said, “Master, Uncle Yu, I also agree with Junior Brother Ming. We should keep a low profile and follow the master to cultivate well at the academy. At present, our strength is weaker. We can’t make the two masters look good.”

Listening to these words was very comfortable. Dean Pei felt very comfortable. This disciple was not only talented, but also had high emotional intelligence and was a good talker.

At their level of strength, they naturally hoped to teach a disciple who was better than their master.

Dean Pei and Yu Xiao looked at each other before nodding. “Okay. Let’s keep a low profile according to your wishes.”

Dean Pei said< “I know you want to keep a low profile, so I won’t disclose your identity as a fourth-grade formation master and my disciple for the time being. However, I will make it clear to everyone among the senior officials of the academy. On the surface, I will let your Uncle Yu and Junior Brother Feng hold an apprenticeship ceremony. This way, his identity can be cleared. How about it?”
