Chapter 709 - 224: Contest of the Great Dao
Jiangming City.
"Teacher, what’s the reason for suddenly calling us over?"
In the small courtyard of the Cyan Cloud Sub-Sect, the two fools Tian Can and Di Que looked at Teacher Bai Mei in front of them with smiles as she handed over a dictionary-thick book: "During this southern journey, I had a chance encounter and fortunately broke through. I saw much more essential things on the path of cultivation, from which inspiration blossomed, ideas flowed, and I suddenly felt that the ’Cyan Mountain Inheritance’ I previously wrote had many deficiencies."
Watching Shui Ling take the book, Bai Mei chuckled: "Therefore, I took the lesson and rewrote it, naming it ’Cyan Cloud Continent: Rebirth of the Zombie,’ and specially called you here to be the first readers of ’Rebirth of the Zombie.’
Shui Ling and Qian Jing immediately became solemn:
"Teacher, I think both Qian Jing and I are still insufficient in study and cultivation, and not qualified to sit at the table and read."
"Exactly, exactly."
"Especially me, I didn’t graduate from middle school, might not be able to understand the new ideas in Teacher Bai Mei’s work, maybe Qian Jing is more suitable to be the first reader."
"Exactly, exactly... hey? No, no!"
But they saw the girl teacher in white looking at them with eyes as gentle as a mother, "No need to be modest, here with me, you unquestionably hold the first position, Shui Ling, you start first, and help me think about the Chapter names."
Shui Ling looked bitter, taking a deep breath.
This is a trial, this is a trial, this is a trial.
Teacher’s juvenile dementia, taking care of her is the student’s filial duty...
Then under Bai Mei’s expectant gaze, she tremblingly opened the first page—
"Do you remember the story of the Cyan Cloud Ancestor? The generation’s God King Sea Immortal Venerable, carrying a bit of divine sense..."
"Look!"
"In that distant outer space! Something beautiful is happening!"
...
In this faraway Disaster Strategy Bureau.
Within the southeast independent tower, the air was quiet and heavy as a black hole.
Sticky beyond measure.
Unable to bear the pressure, Xing Xuan clutched his stomach and was the first to stand.
"I, I have a stomachache, going to the restroom..."
Not even reaching the door, Si Ye immediately grabbed her sister and followed, "We were too busy bringing people back just now, my sister and I haven’t gone to the bathroom yet..."
Liu Ye immediately shouted, "Wait, sister, the beautiful ring, I want it..."
Si Ye immediately covered her sister’s mouth and dragged her out.
Cyan Flower’s reaction was quick too, immediately pulling Qianzhen Cao to retreat outside.
"It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, let’s go out and chat, so as not to disturb Lord Bingtang..."
But Bingtang, who had been looking at the computer, seemingly typing something suddenly spoke, "Just chat here, I have something to ask Qianzhen Cao."
Cyan Flower awkwardly laughed and released Qianzhen Cao’s hand.
All messed up meow.
Gloomily glanced at Qianzhen Cao, this Little Witch dressed as True Disciple just wore an expression of bewilderment.
Although she didn’t know what happened, she knew the current atmosphere was somewhat off.
But Bingtang didn’t ask much, just poured a cup of tea in his busyness and handed it to Jiang Si, "It’s been hard on the road."
"Not really."
"Didn’t expect to run into Qianzhen Cao, did she cause you any trouble?"
"A bit of trouble." Jiang Si originally wanted to complain.
But with so many people, complaining made him seem petty, so he just waved his hand, "No significant issues."
Bingtang’s gaze immediately shifted to Qianzhen Cao.
The Little Witch raised her hands in grievance, "I, I didn’t do anything."
Bingtang wasn’t in a hurry to inquire, simply saying, "Let Jiang Si rest for a bit."
Cyan Flower immediately made a spot for Jiang Si.
Once Jiang Si sat down, the girls all watched the young man handling his ring.
Apparently with the intent to show off.
Jiang Si didn’t expect everyone to notice his magical artifact so soon.
As for Xing Xuan’s mutterings, they automatically filtered out.
For him, receiving a new treasure naturally called for a sect disciple to admire it.
But putting it out directly might seem rash; mature Sect Masters casually let disciples notice the ring on their finger.
Later, passionately introduced the ring’s marvelous uses.
True Disciples generally knew about his Catastrophe Dragon power, using the ring could further showcase the superiority of filthy magic power and Catastrophe Dragon force.
Simple yet strong, seeing if any disciple willing to cultivate such a path comparable to Fire Merging.
Liu Ye did indeed notice, grabbing his hand and soon noticed this ring.
But remarkably, no one asked about the ring’s function, leaving Jiang Si in trouble, disciples being too mature wasn’t ideal, capable of stifling Dao Seeking Heart.
Can’t start introducing the ring on his own accord, can he?
Originally, he thought if Bingtang asked, he would maintain silence.
After all, last time asking about her umbrella’s use, he got brushed off.
Although it was indeed inappropriate to inquire about others’ magical artifacts, reciprocation made Jiang Si plan to temporarily ignore Bingtang.
Yet, no one asked for a while, making him impatient.
Such an obvious artifact, and nobody curious about its purpose?
Indeed, the sect disciples’ cultivation was insufficient...
Just as Jiang Si planned to dismiss Qianzhen Cao and explain about the ring.
Yu Mo cautiously sat beside him, leaned against him, and softly said, "Sect Master, may, may I see your ring?"
Jiang Si felt somewhat gratified.
Deserves to be the top disciple of the True Inheritance, always appearing when needed.
Then he intended to take off the ring and hand it to Yu Mo, when Yu Mo immediately shook her head, promptly touched the hairpin inside her hood — the hairpin Jiang Si had previously gifted her, which she always wore.
