Chapter 217 The second brother is trying to catch me!
The distance between Meng County and Qingling College is not far, and you can get there in half a day's journey.
The two returned to the college and passed by the mountain gate. Jiang Ning bowed at the mountain gate as always.
Zhang Xuan didn't know why, but Jiang Ning deceived him by saying that as the chief student, he should respect his teacher first, which made Xuan Zhang admire his eldest brother even more.
On the way to the lecture hall, many students bowed to the young man in red. Jiang Ning also put away his naive look, held his head high and nodded in return with a cold expression.
The cold and calm look made Henry Zhang next to him click his tongue in amazement.
My eldest brother can pretend to be whatever he wants. It would be a pity not to become an actor...
Wu Jiudao seemed to have expected it and had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
"Come back?" Wu Jiudao said with his back to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning and Zhang Xuan looked at each other, raised their hands and said in greeting: "Disciple Jiang Ning, Zhang Xuan has met the dean."
Wu Jiudao then slowly turned around, stared at the two of them with lightning eyes and said, "Do you two know your mistake?"
The two of them felt their hearts pounding and sighed to themselves.
They knew what Wu Jiudao was referring to. When they were in Chen County, Jiang Ning and others were completely sure of keeping Wang Jin, but because of Jiang Ning's benevolence, they let him go.
Chang Yunping, the teacher accompanying him at the time, said that he would tell Wu Jiudao everything truthfully when he returned.
Now it seems that he was not joking.
Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and said: "This disciple knows his mistake and is willing to accept all punishment!"
Wu Jiudao snorted coldly and twirled his right sleeve, condensing a golden ball of air and throwing it directly towards Jiang Ning. The latter did not dodge or block, but let his magical power hit his chest, knocking him backwards and vomiting blood.
"Master, please spare me... let Chief Jiang know he was wrong." Henry Zhang hurriedly begged for mercy, but Wu Jiudao shouted: "A woman's kindness!"
"You two, one is the future head of the academy, and the other is a disciple of Shangqing Taoist Academy. With your kindheartedness, it would be better for me to kill you with one palm now than to go out and die in the hands of others in the future!"
Henry Zhang did not dare to talk back, so he could only kneel on the ground and look like he was at Wu Jiudao's disposal.
Jiang Ning stood up from the ground, casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stepped forward to stand side by side with Henry Zhang again, clasped his fists at Wu Jiudao and said, "What the dean taught you, Jiang Ning will remember."
Wu Jiudao's face was still gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "Remember, do you really remember? Remember that you were so tough at that time, and you carried it even if you couldn't bear it. What did you do to carry it? Do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand after you sit in the position of chief?
Is it right!"
"Master, please calm down. Chief Jiang doesn't mean this. Chief values love and justice. He just wants to give Wang Jin another chance. Murdering is to save the common people, and letting Wang Jin change his ways is also to save the common people."
Seeing that Wu Jiudao was getting angry, Zhang Xuan hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for Jiang Ning's mercy.
After all, he was a closed disciple. Wu Jiudao couldn't hold back a word for a long time because of what he said. In the end, he could only roll his sleeves and rebuke: "I don't want the same thing to happen again, do you understand?"
"Disciple, please remember this."
After receiving Jiang Ning's answer, Wu Jiudao's anger calmed down a bit, and he said: "Tomorrow, you will lead the Fengchu realm disciples in the academy to Huangsai to participate in the graduation exam. If you are not at the foundation-building Dzogchen realm, you don't have to come back.
"
His tone was so tough that it could not be refuted, and Henry Zhang's scalp went numb when he heard it.
Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Breaking through the realm is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Even though Jiang Ning is currently in the middle stage of foundation building, he is still one late stage away from Dzogchen. How easy is it to break through two stages in a row in the big exam?
"Master..."
But this time, before Henry Zhang could plead for mercy, Jiang Ning took over the conversation and said: "Don't worry, Dean, the trip to the deserted fortress will not be completed until the foundation building is complete, Jiang Ning will come to see you!"
Henry Zhang covered his face and said to himself that it was over.
Wu Jiudao snorted coldly, ignored the two of them, turned around and continued to look at the stone tablet in the hall.
Jiang Ning and Henry Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. After saluting him again, they turned around and prepared to go out.
"then."
It was Wu Jiudao's voice.
The two of them turned around one after another and saw a bag flying towards them.
"This is?" Henry Zhang's bag came first, containing a jade bone paper fan.
The whole body of the fan bone is carved from solid jade, which is crystal clear, full of light, delicate and cold to the touch, and there are looming gold threads in the middle, showing off its sharp edge.
Wu Jiudao explained: "The paper fan is named Tongbei. It is something I obtained in my early years. When fighting the enemy, it can emit the energy of Geng metal. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like mud. You can use it to save your life."
Henry Zhang was immediately overjoyed.
He likes to wear white clothes, and he has a good skin. With the jade bone paper fan, he looks even more elegant and fairy-like.
Seeing that Henry Zhang got the good items, Jiang Ning couldn't wait to open his bag.
Just one glance and he was stunned.
Seeing Jiang Ning like this, Zhang Xuan approached him out of curiosity to see what kind of weapon he had, but found that there were several dull copper plates in the bag.
"Uh..." Henry Zhang finally understood why his eldest brother looked like this.
The same goes for yourself.
Jiang Ning raised his head stiffly and looked at Wu Jiudao with expectant eyes, asking only for this bag of copper coins, which was also a rare treasure.
Wu Jiudao said calmly: "I don't know what this bag of copper coins is. I just heard that it was left by an formation master. You may be able to use it if you also practice formations."
"You fucking..." Jiang Ning almost stopped breathing.
Give your students a jade bone paper fan. Not only is it very lethal, but it also looks great. Give me a few copper coins, and then tell me what kind of magic weapon it was left by the formation master. Are you trying to trick ghosts?
"If you don't like it, you can give it back to me." Wu Jiudao said bluntly.
Jiang Ning's eyelids twitched.
He has never seen such a shameless old man. Fortunately, he is still the dean. If he can beat him, he must let him experience the pain of life.
"I like it. How can I not like it as a gift from the dean?" Jiang Ning almost said this through gritted teeth.
Wu Jiudao gave a faint hum and looked at the stone tablet again.
Jiang Ning raised his fist at his back, eager to try, but fortunately, Henry Zhang, who was frightened and numb, was able to carry him out.
In the main hall, Wu Jiudao's figure remained motionless.
"I have already handed over the things you gave me to him," he said.
Two breaths later, another voice sounded in the hall: "Thank you very much, Dean Wu."
"Nothing can compare to the grievance you have suffered by condescending to be here all the time."
The voice didn't answer, just smiled, and then disappeared into the hall again.
"You old Bideng, wait for me!" Jiang Ning's yelling could still be faintly heard far away from the main hall.
Henry Zhang was about to cry but had no tears, so he comforted him: "Brother, please lower your voice. Do you think this is our home?"
Jiang Ning said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? If he punishes me, just plead for me. This old guy still takes good care of your face."
"Brother, he is the dean. I really want to make him angry. How can I, a disciple, protect you..." Zhang Xuan said, holding his forehead.
"Then you go and continue to climb up. As soon as possible, you can ascend to Shangqing Taoist Temple and become an elder or something like that. Then I will see if old Biden still dares to disobey you!"
Jiang Ning rubbed his chest as he spoke.
Wu Jiudao showed no mercy to him, and his chest still hurts even now...
"Ascension to the Taoist Academy, I'm not even close to ascending to heaven!" Henry Zhang rolled his eyes.
"Brother, if you keep doing this, I won't be able to climb up as fast as you are beaten."
