"Eagle! Come here and get some delicious food!"

Li Xiuyuan did not reply to the master immediately, but took out a few snacks, placed them on the table under the eaves, and shouted to the green eagle lying under the bamboo shade!

"Cuckoo!" As soon as Qingying heard that there was food, he flapped his wings and came over. He rubbed his head against Li Xiuyuan twice before lowering his head and pounced on the table.

"Mine, all mine!" Ying'er couldn't help but screamed "Cuckoo!" twice more.

Li Xiuyuan patted its head, then turned around and entered the room and sat in front of the master.

With a flick of his hand, four sets of gowns were placed on the table. Li Xiuyuan looked at his wife and smiled and said, "Sir, try to see if they fit you?"

The master was stunned, looked at him and smiled: "Didn't you agree to only buy two sets? Why are there two more sets?"

Li Xiuyuan didn't wait until the master put on a blue gown and looked around to express his satisfaction before he smiled and said: "These clothes, food, and Ying'er's snacks are all given by the bandits at the foot of the mountain."

The master was startled. He stretched out his hand and held Li Xiuyuan's left hand. He inspected it for a long time. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked: "Did you do that thing that was rumored in the academy?"

"What happened? Why didn't I know?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the master and asked.

The master looked at him and said in a deep voice: "It is said that on the road leading to the academy from Wushi Town, eight bandits were chopped down and piled on the roadside, with a line of writing written on the tree."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he replied calmly: "That matter cannot be blamed on me. You have to ask the second prince of Tianfeng Kingdom and some students of our academy about this matter..."

Li Xiuyuan carefully told the master what happened on the road.

"I'm so hungry!" Li Xiuyuan went to the kitchen to get a few bowls, cut a few pieces of beef in sauce and put it on the table, then put a large piece on the table under the eaves, patted Qingying and said: "

Go grab some meat another day and come back, I’ll bake it for you!”

Qingying raised his head and glanced at him, yelled "Gu Gu!" twice, and took a bite of the beef on the table.

The master had already poured two bowls of wine, picked up a piece of beef and started to chew on it.

"I took a look and found that your tendons and veins were somewhat damaged. You will take a medicinal bath after eating." The master seemed to see Li Xiuyuan vomiting blood.

Li Xiuyuan nodded in agreement, looked at him and asked: "Do you want to say hello to the dean about this matter? After all, it concerns the students in the academy. Otherwise, how would the bandits at the bottom of the mountain know that I am coming down the mountain today?"

"How did you come back? Didn't you want to stay in the town for one night?" The master did not answer him, but asked first.

Li Xiuyuan was startled and said with a smile: "This bandit came here on a horse. I sold some of them and kept one and rode back myself."

The master nodded and then asked: "Where is the horse?"

"How dare I ride back and let it go at the foot of the academy mountain?" Li Xiuyuan thought to himself. I still have this in mind.

When the master heard this, he nodded and smiled: "In that case, what does this matter have to do with you? Did anyone see you when you killed someone? Did you tell others that you were a busboy in the academy when you were buying things?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, pointed to the clothes on his body and said, "This clothes was given to me when I was in Tianfeng Kingdom."

The master then said: "Then it's over, these things have nothing to do with you or me!"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he frowned and asked, "Aren't we going to poach the guy who reported the news in the academy?"

The master shook his head and replied softly: "As long as he doesn't admit it, you can't do anything to him! Keep it, the pig will be fattened before killing it, don't worry!"

"What the teacher means is..." Li Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, picked up the bowl on the table and took a sip of wine.

The master shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't they like to play tricks? Although you are anxious, you should practice hard. When you break through to Nascent Soul, we will dig a big hole!"

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Disciple will go chop wood tomorrow. If anyone asks me where I went today, I will tell him that I feel unwell today and took a medicinal bath at the teacher's place for the whole day."

"You can teach me, kid!" The master picked up the cup and took another sip. "The beef with soy sauce at the foot of the mountain is so delicious."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Teacher, eat slowly. The students bought more this time, enough to last seven or eight days. These are all sent by the bandits down the mountain, and there are these wines!"

The master touched his belly, sighed helplessly and shook his head, saying: "They never dreamed that you, a little handyman, would pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. No one can contact you."

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the master's backyard and thought about where Wei Qing would live when he came. He smiled slightly and said, "Teacher, where will Wei Qing live when he comes?"

"I have a lot of room in this house." The master smiled and continued: "Tomorrow you have to continue chopping firewood and see how the guys there handle this matter."

"If my guess is correct, the dean has already sent the elders from the Law Enforcement Hall to inspect the situation at the foot of the mountain." The master stopped him and reminded him without leaving any trace.

Li Xiuyuan smiled, understanding what he wanted to say, and just stretched out his hands to pick up a chopstick of beef from the plate.

…

Early the next morning, Li Xiuyuan went to the kitchen backyard to chop wood. Since he didn't break up, he had to continue ringing the bell here.

Before midnight, the dining hall gradually became lively, and even Li Xiuyuan, who was chopping firewood in the backyard, could hear what they were talking about.

"I heard that some bandits came down from Academy Mountain yesterday and were beaten to death eight of them!" a male student said mysteriously.

"It seems like it's not stopping. I heard the elder came back and said that there should be more than a dozen footprints. It seems that a few people escaped!"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he realized that this was another male student.

"It is said that the bandits who were hacked to death were piled on the road, and there was a writing on the tree: This is the fate of being a bandit!"

"Yes, it's so cruel!" said a female student.

"Hey, do you think the bandits are cruel or the person who killed the bandits is cruel? They are brave enough to do justice!"

Another female student got aggrieved and started arguing with the female student in front of her.

"Don't make any noise. The academy will issue an announcement today. Don't be afraid. As long as the bandits dare to attack, the academy will tell them whether they will come back or not!"

The fat elder in charge of the kitchen roared, and the dining hall suddenly became quiet.

"Haha, what a bunch of fools." Li Xiuyuan looked at the hatchet in his hand and said softly, thinking that you will know when you are captured by the bandits and used as fat sheep.

Thinking of his own experience, no one would believe it if he told it. He only went down the mountain twice, and met bandits both times. Looking at the bustle in the dining hall, he said to himself: I don’t understand, why are they still like this?

Happy?

Is it necessary for a certain student in the academy to be captured by bandits and used as a fat sheep, and then be found by some force later?

It wasn't until the students in the academy had almost finished eating that Li Xiuyuan washed up and walked into the dining hall. He was going to chop for a while after finishing the meal, and then go to see if Wei Qing was here.

I was sitting down, not even halfway through my breakfast, when unexpectedly the dean walked in and sat quietly aside with a bowl of porridge in a daze.

Li Xiuyuan was naturally not bored, so he quickly lowered his head and started eating, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

The dean looked at him and said: "You have been wandering like a lonely ghost these past few months. I really understand. Don't you want to clear your name and tell the whole academy that you can participate in the war?"

"The Shura battlefield will only happen in ten years. You still have ten years to practice and you won't appear too weak when you go to fight again. If you are willing, I can try to heal your legs."

The dean looked at Li Xiuyuan and said quietly.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "I have become accustomed to the life of a handyman. I don't want to be a hero, nor do I want to be a fat sheep. Thank you Dean for your kindness."

The dean frowned and asked, "Why?"

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, and then replied calmly: "My leg pain can only prevent me from forgetting to seek revenge on someone one day! Otherwise, I am afraid that I will forget someone..."

The dean's heart thumped and he murmured: "Just because someone is much stronger than you, you need better opportunities to practice so that one day you can avenge the hatred of that day!"

Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said with a smile: "Master told me that in order to take revenge, it is not too late to spend ten or twenty years practicing, as long as someone is still alive."

The dean was stunned for a moment, and then immediately figured out what he was referring to. He was shocked and speechless.

"Is this what Master teaches people? It's really nonsense!" The dean became a little angry.

Li Xiuyuan, who had already finished breakfast, chuckled: "Dean, actually I don't want to be a villain. As long as I have some ability, I just want to find trouble for someone!"

After saying this, before the dean came to his senses, he turned around and left the dining hall, then ran away to the master's bamboo house.

Originally, he wanted to chop wood for a while, but the dean came and obviously didn't want him to practice quietly.

The dean was stunned, looked at Li Xiuyuan's back and shouted: "The villain's revenge lasts all day long, this is even more outrageous!"

"Dean, just give up on this idea. I asked that boy, and he said he would rather leave the academy than participate in the Shura battlefield. He wants to fight on his own behalf!"

The elder in charge of the kitchen looked at the dean and said quietly.

"Then the boy wants to fight on his own behalf? I think he represents my wife, right?" The dean trembled and gritted his teeth in anger.

The fat elder shook his head and said with a wry smile: "So what? We missed the opportunity, but the master got an advantage!"

The dean thought for a while, looked at him and said, "We can't let it go. We have to find a way. Aren't we going to hold a selection of students in a few days? Then we'll call the master and apprentice to watch the battle. I won't believe it!"

"This boy has never been lazy in chopping firewood. I really can't bear to let him go..." The fat elder did not reply to the dean, but nagged him for Li Xiuyuan.

The dean was stunned and looked back at him for a long time, speechless.

"Dean, is there any result about yesterday's incident with bandits at the foot of the mountain?" The fat elder thought of a bunch of bad things yesterday.

The dean shook his head, looked at him and replied: "Elder Zhang led some people to investigate, but found no clues about the crime. We only know that there were more than a dozen bandits, and some of them may have escaped."

"Could it have been done by a certain student or elder from the academy?" The fat elder also frowned.

The dean shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If it had been done by the elders of the academy, they would have come here to ask for credit. The academy has regulations that anyone who kills a bandit will be rewarded."

The fat elder nodded and said, "I forgot some things... could this be the boy's doing?"

"How is it possible? That boy was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Elder Zhang said that several of the bandits who were killed were in the late stage of the Golden Core, and one of them was still at the ninth level of cultivation!"

The dean shook his head and denied his statement. "Besides, one of my legs is still injured. Didn't you notice just now? Why did he fight with more than a dozen bandits?"

"What a strange thing!"

"No matter who did it, it's a good thing for the academy. You have to know that this hundred-mile radius is our territory. If the bandits dare to come here, it means they don't take us seriously anymore."

The dean looked at him and said seriously.

...

"I don't understand why the academy is having trouble with me this time?" Li Xiuyuan looked at the master lying under the eaves and asked: "Isn't this story embarrassing me? What kind of state am I in?"

The Master smiled and consoled him: "It has not started yet, but it will be ten years later, and they are already anxious. It seems that everyone is afraid of death!"

"Fortunately, the dean didn't ask me about the bandits yesterday. It seems they don't believe that I did it. After all, I am just like an ant in their eyes."

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh as he thought about the dean's appearance.
