The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 235: The Second Courtyard Incident

Outside the Dawn Town, the people of the Seven Stars Academy were silent, while the people of the White Egret Academy were crying with joy. For so many years, they had been fighting with the people of the Seven Stars Academy, and now it was finally over. Once Mu Chenxu died, the Seven Stars Academy would not be able to gain a foothold in Licheng. Pan Chengfeng returned to the White Egret Academy camp and said with a smile: "Dean Yang, Brother Tang, the rest of the matter is left to you. Pick out ten Nascent Soul coaches from the Seven Stars Academy and bring them back to the Zhong family, is that ok?" Dean Yang stood up and said: "That's easy to say, let's go back to the academy first. Tang Tong, go and subdue those God Transformation elders and bring them back to the academy. Fusheng, you go and take those Nascent Soul coaches."

In the reception hall of Bailu Academy in Licheng, old dean Yang Hong sat in the first seat, Pan Chengfeng was on the lower left, and Tang Tong was on the lower right. Except for Qian'er who sat next to Pan Chengfeng, everyone else sat down casually. Afterwards, a group of vice presidents and elders of the Seven Star Academy, a total of five people, were brought to the hall. Yang Hong glanced and said, "Why does it seem like one is missing? Hmm~ Is it Shen Liang? Where did he run off to?" Qian Bi gritted his teeth and said, "We don't know when that guy ran away! If we met him, we would definitely skin him alive!" Yang Hong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, that's your business. Let's talk about what happens next."

Lu Song bowed and said, "There is nothing much to say. Since Dean Mu lost, we from the Seven Stars Academy will leave Licheng, and the assets that cannot be taken away will be left to the White Egret Academy. As for the teachers and elders, we will not make it difficult for those who are willing to stay, and we will also welcome those who are willing to go with me and Qian Bi." Yang Hong said, "So, you and Vice Dean Qian Bi are planning to leave?" Lu Song said, "Even if we stay, will you feel at ease? Instead of you being on guard against us, we might as well leave Licheng and start a new business, so that everyone will be comfortable."

Qian Bi said, "Lv Song and I have already discussed it. There are more than 300 teachers willing to go with us. The rest are willing to stay in Bailu Academy. Please treat them well, Dean Yang." There are more than Yuanying teachers in Qixing Academy, but only a small number of them are willing to go with them. This is really sad. In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, Qixing Academy has been in Licheng for thousands of years. Many relatives of teachers and elders have taken root in Licheng. Who is willing to leave their hometown unless it is absolutely necessary?

Yang Hong nodded and said, "Can you tell me where you are going?" Lu Song smiled and said, "There is nothing to hide. We plan to leave the Great Zhou Kingdom and start a new business in Yue Kingdom. I heard that there are only three academies in Yue Kingdom. We will not be taking away other people's territory if we go there." Yang Hong nodded and said, "In that case, we will not force it. Although we have fought for many years, as teachers, I still admire you very much. Except for a few people and Mu Chenxu, most of the teachers in the Seven Star Academy are excellent. Our academy is happy to accept them."

Finally, the two vice presidents of the Seven Stars Academy left Licheng with only two elders and 300 Yuanying teachers. Everyone else chose to stay, including two elders in the early stage of the Spiritualization Stage, and nearly teachers. What made Dean Yang Hong happiest was that the more than students of the Seven Stars Academy were all retained intact. The Licheng Seven Stars Academy was officially merged into the White Egret Academy and renamed the White Egret Academy Licheng Branch. After five or six days of busy work, Dean Yang and Tang Tong finally had time to thank the friends who had come to help.

In the lobby of Bailu Academy, Dean Yang raised his wine glass and laughed, "Come on, let's drink this glass of fine wine! I like this peach blossom wine the most. I didn't expect it to be brewed by Fellow Daoist Pan. What a coincidence~" Master Ma drank it all in one gulp and smiled, "Besides the sword, my favorite thing in this life is also the thing in this glass. I thought Qin's Yuzhuqing was the best in the world, but I didn't expect it to be as bland as water compared to this peach blossom wine~" Master Yu laughed and said, "Come on, I won't go home until I'm drunk today, brother Yang, don't be stingy~" Yang Hong said proudly, "Today, there is enough fine wine! And Fellow Daoist Pan's beast meat to go with the wine! It's really a pleasure in life~"

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Tang Tong drank a glass of wine and gave Dean Yang a look. Dean Yang then remembered that there was still important work to do. He thought to himself, "Drinking is really a waste of time~" Dean Yang touched the storage ring, and a three-foot-long sword appeared in his hand. He smiled and handed it to Ma Qingxuan, saying, "This is the reward promised to you. This is my most proud work in the past few hundred years."

Ma Qingxuan did not shirk his responsibility. He took the sword and felt it, then laughed and said, "It is indeed a good sword. I am sorry to refuse it." Dean Yang laughed and said, "No, no, we still want to thank Mr. Ma for saving our lives." Ma Qingxuan put away the sword and said, "Dean, give me a few jars of good wine as a way of repaying your kindness. How about that?" Dean Yang laughed and said, "It's a small matter, a small matter. Come on, keep drinking."

After finishing another cup, Dean Yang walked up to Master Yu and said, "Brother Yu's work is quite complicated. Can you wait a few more days?" Master Yu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the accommodation and food at Bailu Academy are good. It's better to delay for a while." Yang Hong smiled and shook his head and said, "You, you, I dare not keep you any longer. I guarantee that it can be completed within five days."

Finally, Yang Hong walked up to Pan Chengfeng and Qian'er and said, "Thank you very much, both of you. This time, we were able to successfully take over the Seven Star Academy thanks to you and Senior Mou. It's a pity that Senior Mou didn't come, so we can't thank him in person." Pan Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Mou doesn't like crowds, so he's going back first. I'll introduce him to the dean when there's a chance."

In fact, Dean Yang wanted to find an opportunity to ask for advice on breakthroughs, but unfortunately he was unwilling to come. He said regretfully: "Then we can only wait for the next opportunity. Have you two confirmed that only ten people are needed to coach, and there are no other requirements? The Seven Star Academy has left a lot of wealth." Pan Chengfeng said: "Talent is more important, and other things don't matter. This time we have eliminated a big worry, and we dare not ask for anything more."

Dean Yang nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will personally select ten experienced coaches and have them go back with you." Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "I hope they are all volunteers. How about this, Dean Yang tells all the coaches that the Zhong family is willing to pay three times their current salary, and every ten years, one senior coach will be selected and rewarded with a Broken Mirror Pill~"

Dean Yang was surprised and said, "In this case, won't everyone be scrambling to go to the Zhong family? Fellow Taoist, you have some tricks~" Qian'er smiled and said, "Dean Yang, actually we have something else we want to discuss with the dean." Dean Yang said, "Just say it~" Qian'er said, "The dean already knows about the Zhong family's wine. I plan to sell the Zhong family's wine in Licheng, but I'm unfamiliar with the place and it's very inconvenient~" Yang Hong smiled and said, "Haha, it's a coincidence. Our hospital also plans to buy wine from the Zhong family and sell it in Licheng~"

Pan Chengfeng and Qian'er looked at each other and understood each other. Yang Hong asked, "How much wine can the Zhong family provide to our hospital in a year? What's the price?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Currently, the Zhong family's winery has limited production capacity. In a year, they can only provide the dean with 100,000 jars of peach blossom wine and 300,000 jars of daughter red wine. The Zhong family has a unified price, one top-grade crystal bead per jar of peach blossom wine, and one medium-grade crystal bead per jar of daughter red wine." Yang Hong said happily, "Great! We thought the price would be very high, but it's so affordable!" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Dean Yang, don't be happy yet. We have another requirement, that is, the retail price of peach blossom wine shall not exceed five top-grade crystal beads, and the retail price of daughter red shall not exceed ten medium-grade crystal beads." Yang Hong frowned and thought to himself, "There is such a rule? I have never heard of it. Isn't it that you can sell as much as you want?" Pan Chengfeng knew Yang Hong's doubts and explained, "This is also for everyone's long-term interests. Dean Yang will understand in the future."

The next afternoon, Pan Chengfeng took Qian'er and ten teachers to return to Fancheng. These ten people can be said to be the ten most powerful teachers in the two colleges. After all, the treatment is too good, and everyone is scrambling to go to Zhong's house. Dean Yang selected ten teachers with the best reputation from hundreds of teachers. These ten people followed Zhong's house first, and their families were also preparing to move to Fancheng. At this point, the competition between the two colleges in Licheng officially came to an end.

I was in a hurry when I came, and I dare not be too leisurely when I leave. After all, the Zhong family's once-in-a-decade clan meeting is about to begin. Although the Zhong family is a small family, the direct lineage has only 3,000 to 4,000 people. But if you count the branches, there are 50,000 to 60,000 people. Qian'er's position as the head of the family has always been watched by the direct lineage of the Zhong family.

Since the Zhong family's ancestor Zhong Wuyan broke through to the spirit transformation, the entire Zhong family's direct lineage has become active. In the past, there was no choice. The ancestor's life span was short, and those direct lineage children had few prospects, so the ancestor Zhong chose Li Qian'er, the wife of the previous ancestor who had outstanding potential and ability, to take over as the ancestor. Although this matter was finally settled with the support of the ancestor Zhong, many direct lineage children were dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Qian'er lived up to everyone's expectations and led the Zhong family to prosperity and became the first family in Fancheng. Everyone gradually suppressed these dissatisfied emotions. Since then, Qian'er has firmly established the position of the head of the Zhong family. Who would have thought that in just a few years, the ancestor of the Zhong family and the head of the Zhong family both broke through to the state of transformation. Not many people know the inside story. But it does not prevent the people of the Zhong family from being happy, nor does it prevent some people with ulterior motives from starting to have wild thoughts. In fact, even if they knew, they would still have crooked thoughts, after all, money can move people's hearts.
