623 – An Old Ginger Is Always Spicier

En? Lan Xuanyu turned to look at him. Why did he feel that Pavilion Master Wang’s words… didn’t seem to be directed at the Tang Sect? This sounded like he was supporting Elder Shu!

Elder Shu scoffed. “So what if it’s a warship? Could it be that the honor of my Life School can’t compare to a warship? Just for this lousy warship, you’re slandering the successor of my Life School. If this gets out, what use is our Life School ? Wang Tianyu, let me tell you, this isn’t over. If the Sea God Pavilion doesn’t give us justice, you can forget about producing the Life Fruits for the next 100 years. Hmph! Let’s go.”

As he spoke, he pulled Lan Xuanyu and turned to leave.

“Elder Shu…” Tang Miao opened his mouth.

Wang Tianyu had a helpless look on his face as he laughed bitterly. “This old fellow is getting more arrogant. It’s just that as he’s nearing the end of his life, even the Pavilion Head can’t do anything to him now. In this lifetime, he has done his utmost for the Tang Sect. He just has a bad habit of being overprotective for his protegees. Brother Tang, I’m really sorry. I’ll go back and report to the Pavilion Head and see what I can do.”

“Forget it, forget it. Old Wang, you can talk to Elder Shuh later and treat this warship as compensation for wrongly accusing Lan Xuanyu. It’s just a warship, how could it affect our relationship? We can’t let it affect the mood of the Life School ! This is being irresponsible to the entire Federation.”

Wang Tianyu was stunned and said, “How can I accept this?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s only right. It can be considered as our congratulatory gift to the Life School for having an heir.” Tang Miao’s smile returned.

Wang Tianyu said apologetically, “Then I’ll go look for Elder Shu right now and quickly calm his anger. Brother Tang, I won’t send you guys off.” With that said, he left in a hurry.

Tang Miao’s expression was calm as he followed behind Wang Tianyu and left as well.

Deng Bo looked at his back view, then at everyone else and quickly called out, “Hall Master, wait for me, I’ll go with you.”

After they left, only Lan Xuanyu’s six partners, Tang Zhenhua and Ying Luohong were left in the office.

Ying Luohong muttered, “Let me repeat it, why does it feel wrong?”

Tang Zhenhua’s lips twitched. “I feel like my brain isn’t working properly. This matter doesn’t seem right no matter how I look at it!”

“The warship is ours?” Qian Lei asked in a daze.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I think so,” Liu Feng affirmed.

“Big brother Xuanyu is amazing!” Yuanen Huihui sighed and shook his head. “We don’t need brains. We just have to follow him.”

“Who are you talking to?” Tang Yuge asked indifferently.

Yuanen Huihui glanced at her. “Oh, and you have even less brains.”

“Are you itching for a beating?”

“All of you, get out. Don’t be an eyesore here.” Ying Luohong waved her hand and said in annoyance.

As though they had been granted amnesty, the six people quickly ran away.

The matter was over. Lan Xuanyu, who was supposed to be punished, was completely fine. The Tang Sect, which had denounced him, suffered a double loss. Not only did they not take back the warship, but it was also officially given to Shrek Academy. Or more accurately, it was Lan Xuanyu’s.

Elder Shu pulled Lan Xuanyu to the Sea God Lake.

“Elder Shu, is what you said about being the successor of the Life School true?” Lan Xuanyu looked at him in surprise.

Elder Shu scoffed. “Who would joke about that? You’re truly crafty like a ghost! You even dared to steal Tang Sect’s warship.”

Lan Xuanyu chuckled. “Didn’t the academy team up with the Tang Sect to trick us first? If not for our good luck, we would have died during the final exam. That would be a lifetime stain. But Elder Shu, I didn’t want to cheat a warship! This is too valuable. I only wanted to exchange some of the Tang Sect’s secret arts with them so that I wouldn’t have to spend money. I don’t have time to join the Tang Sect either. That’s what I told you when I drove the warship back and entered the atmosphere, right?”

Elder Shu said in annoyance, “As the successor of the Life School, since you’ve already made a move, how can we just let it go for such a small profit ? Since you’ve already done it, you should ask for more. Don’t worry, the Tang Sect won’t think that this is a bad thing. You’ve already been appointed as the successor of the Life School, just treat it as a gift from them to you. They have to be on good terms with you.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned. “Our Life School is that powerful?”

Elder Shu replied, “Of course. You’ll know in the future. When you enter the Inner Court.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Oh right, why did Pavilion Master Wang cooperate with you just now?”

“When you called me just now and told me that you were back, I sent him a message. When you ate the Emperor Fruit last time, this brat already knew that you were the successor of the Life School. Let me tell you, the more a person looks like Wang Tianyu with his thick brows, big eyes, and righteous face, the worse that person is. He’s very black-bellied.”

Lan Xuanyu almost laughed out loud, thinking to himself, ‘These old seniors really know how to play!’ With Elder Shu and Pavilion Master Wang working together, they had really tricked Tang Miao. Needless to say, Pavilion Master Wang’s acting skills were too realistic. Ever since he entered Dean Ying’s office, he had been acting! Even Lan Xuanyu had believed in his furious appearance.

Indeed, an old ginger was always spicier !

“Elder Shu, it’s not very appropriate for you to criticize others behind their backs, right?” Wang Tianyu’s voice came over.

Elder Shu turned to look at him and said, “Am I wrong? You’re a thick-skinned but black-bellied person. A problem with that ?”

Wang Tianyu smiled. “Where is the problem with that? Tang Miao is very smart. He could tell for sure, but he pinched his nose and admitted it. Haha! I heard that this generation’s Tang Sect reconnaissance warship is quite good. It’s perfect for the Star War Experiment class. Lan Xuanyu, remember, I got the warship for you guys, but it’s not yours alone, understand?”

“Understood, Pavilion Master.” Lan Xuanyu quickly agreed obediently and stood obediently at the side. It was better for him to behave himself.

“Don’t put on an act here, go back and get ready, school will be reopening soon. Heart arts and such are all small tricks. The most important foundation is still strength,” Wang Tianyu said in a low voice.

“Yes,” Lan Xuanyu replied respectfully and quickly turned to run. He was still under a lot of pressure in front of this big shot.

Wang Tianyu sighed and looked at Elder Shu with eyes filled with admiration. “As expected, you’re old but firm! You really have foresight. This brat already has his spiritual power at the Spirit Abyss realm.”

Elder Shu looked at him deeply and smiled. “Do you think I was the one who chose him as the successor of the Life School?”

Wang Tianyu was stunned, then his body shook.

Tang Miao walked out of Shrek Academy quietly. There was a no-fly zone above Shrek Academy. Even though he was a high-ranking member of the Tang Sect, he could not fly here without permission.

Deng Bo rushed over. “Hall Master, is it really fine to give them the warship just like that?”

“En,” Tang Miao replied.

Deng Bo said, “Are we just going to let this matter go? I feel that Lan Xuanyu must have done it on purpose. He didn’t do it just to hide the warship for us, right?”

Tang Miao turned to look at him. “Your brain is worse than a child’s. It’s over, that’s all.”

Deng Bo blinked and said, “Look, my punishment…”

Tang Miao was exasperated. “What? You want me to get rid of my punishment for you? Alright then! Give me a reason, just like Lan Xuanyu and tell me everything.”

Deng Bo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I don’t have that ability. But Hall Master, I feel like we’ve suffered a huge loss this time!”

Tang Miao said indifferently, “Often, being at a disadvantage is being at an advantage. The news that the Life School has an heir is much more valuable than that warship. Keep your mouth shut and keep everything related to this in your stomach, do you hear me? Otherwise, your punishment will be even worse.”

“Uh…”
