Qu Liuer was so scared that he was trembling, he pulled on Mad Qu's sleeves: "Master, let's go."
The Mad Qu said angrily: "Where are you going! I've worked so hard to save up enough money for you, so that you can cultivate. Now that you have encountered such a small problem, you have to back off.
Qu Liuer's face paled, but he did not dare say another word.
The manager pouted: "I say, poor bastard, are you going or not? I don't want to repeat myself. "
Mad Qu suddenly knelt down on both knees and kowtowed continuously: "Great sir, please do well, please do well. It's not easy for us to save up enough money for our poor children. Can you just give us a chance and let our children go in and have a try? "
He took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and stuffed it into the steward's hand. "My lord, I beg of you, please do me a favor."
The manager kicked Mad Qu down, "Are you trying to kill the beggar? "A piece of broken gold. I can't even buy enough meat for a dog. Get lost!"
Mad Qu got up and continued to kowtow: "Great sir, I beg of you, wait for me to save some money and I'll pay you."
"Do I need your fucking drink?"
The supervisor kicked him again, "Scram? "If you don't scram, I will really let the dogs bite you."
The mastiff pounced forward and threw Mad Qu to the ground. The huge paw pressed on Mad Qu's chest, the dog lowered its head, and the liquid from its teeth dripped onto Mad Qu's face.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Qi Dao clenched her little fists tightly: "Big Brother An Zheng, can you help them?"
Mad Qu struggled to stand up, but the mastiff was clearly enraged, as it lowered its head and bit towards Mad Qu's neck. An Zheng let go of the cat, and the white cat, Xiao Se, jumped out from his arms. A white light flashed and it instantly landed in front of Mad Qu. The mastiff was standing almost as tall as a human, while the cat was still young. Compared to the mastiff, it was like a baby that had just learned how to stand in front of a ferocious man.
However, no one would have thought that the mastiff would retreat as if it had met its natural predator the moment it saw the cat. It screamed a few times, and that manager couldn't even stop it. The cat moved forward one step at a time, and the mastiff dodged crazily, pulling the steward to the side so that he fell flat on his face. The mastiff dragged the steward into the academy, and no matter how much the steward yelled, it was useless.
Several other guards ran over and tried to hold the mastiff back with great effort, only then did they rescue the overseer.
The steward was covered in dust and his face contorted in anger. He crawled up and looked over, and found that the cat that frightened the mastiff was actually only a kitten that had not grown up. Its expression was especially wonderful. An Zheng walked over and hugged the cat, then pulled Mad Qu with one hand and stood up. When Mad Qu saw that it was An Zheng, he was stunned for a moment, and then, said thanks.
"Thank you for saving me, but if he let the dog bite me, he might soften his heart and let Liu'er enter the academy to participate in the exam."
An Zheng raised his hand and slapped Mad Qu right on the face, "I saved you because I wanted to, so you don't need to thank me. As for telling him to let the dog bite you, he'll let Qu Liuer in gently for the test … That's why I hit you. This kind of bastard's arrogance, part of the reason is because you guys are used to it. Even if the mastiff bit you to death, do you think he would let you in? "
An Zheng laughed coldly: "Mad Qu, you make me look down upon you."
Mad Qu roared: What do you know! For the sake of making it easy for her to enter the academy! "
An Zheng shook his head: "There's something wrong with your mind, I can save your life, but I can't save your brain."
Mad Qu was about to attack him, but Qu Liuer grabbed his sleeves and begged him.
Just then, the manager walked over with a few guards, pointed at An Zheng and scolded, "Where did this little bastard come from, daring to cause trouble at the entrance of the academy!"
An Zheng raised his head to look at the manager, and then walked back. The manager thought that An Zheng wanted to run, so he brought his men and charged forward. An Zheng pulled Qu Liuer up, and reached out to wipe the tears on her face. "You have been protected too well by the Mad Qu, so you have not come into contact with the ugliness of this world. Do you know why that steward wouldn't let you in? Because you don't have the money to honor him. Mad Qu worked hard to save up enough money to pay for the test, but this kind of person would have to pay more than the test. "
He took out a low rank soul stone and gave it to Qu Liuer: "Take it."
Qu Liuer timidly caught it, but didn't know what to do.
An Zheng pulled Qu Liuer's hand and turned around, then pointed at the manager with his other hand: "Do you see his face? Use the spirit stone in your hand and throw it at him."
Qu Liuer shook his head in fear, and did not dare make a move. Du Shoushou ran over angrily from the side and grabbed the spirit stone, then threw it towards the manager's face. Du Shoushou's marrow had already been cleansed, and his strength was much stronger than an ordinary burly man's. The Spirit Stone transformed into a streak of light and smashed into the manager's nose with a "pa" sound. Immediately, tens of thousands of points of the Spirit Stone exploded.
A single low rank soul stone was worth tens of thousands of silver. After the supervisor saw what it was that smashed him, he immediately climbed down to pick up the spirit stone.
An Zheng pulled Qu Liuer's hand and walked in front of the manager, then stepped on the spirit stone. He lowered his head to look at the steward's miserable expression and asked: "You look down on just one piece of gold, one spirit stone is enough to make you look like a servant …" Do you want it? "
The manager wiped the blood off his nose and nodded his head, "Yes."
An Zheng shook his head: "But I don't want to give it to you."
He bent down to pick up the spirit stones and put them away. "How can someone like you be a gatekeeper in the academy? I am extremely disappointed in the academy."
That manager had been tricked, and his expression was extremely ugly. However, he was not in a good position to act because it was rare to see a child casually take a spirit stone and beat someone up. Therefore, he was a little more afraid of An Zheng.
"This place originally belonged to my family, so the mayor told me to act as a steward in the academy."
The supervisor explained, then carefully asked, "Who are you?"
An Zheng turned around and looked at Xiao Qi Dao: "I suddenly regret. What if I don't want to enter this academy?"
The Xiao Qi Dao raised his chin and said seriously: "Big Brother An Zheng has the final say, I'll go wherever you want to go, but I won't go anywhere else. I'll listen to Big Brother An Zheng wherever you say it."
Du Shoushou also said: "What kind of place is this, it's so disgusting. Even if it is the best place in the Fantasy City for cultivation, I would not want to enter. "
In fact, An Zheng wanting to enter the Phantom Institute was just to find a cover for himself. He had enough cultivation techniques and experience in his head. Compared to what academy, he was much stronger than the teachers from the other sects. He just didn't want others to know his secret, so he decided to find a place to study. That way, no one would doubt him if he became stronger.
But now that the Phantom Institute was acting so shamelessly, he really did not want to stay.
Thus, when he looked around, he found that there were a few rows of buildings that were relatively tall on the other side of Phantom Institute. However, they seemed to be dilapidated and their doors were shut. There was a signboard at the entrance with four large words faintly discernible on it … In the Heavenly Enlightenment Martial School. It was said that many years ago, at the Fantasy City, he could be considered a very famous academy. The principal of the academy was the previous City Lord, but after Mu Changyan killed him, the Heavenly Imperial Martial Academy had been ruined.
> Mu Changyan purposely built the Phantom Institute opposite of the Heavenly Awakening Martial Arts Academy. There was a contrast between the academy's grandeur and bustle, which made Mu Changyan feel more and more shabby.
"Let's go there."
An Zheng pulled on Xiao Qi Dao and Qu Liuer: "It's just cultivation, I can't do that."
The steward who was being toyed with was stunned. Then, he cursed in a low voice, "Stupid b * tch." But he did not dare scold out loud, because he did not know where An Zheng came from. At this time, the cloth-clothed scholar, Mu Changyan, walked out of the academy with large strides. After looking at them, he said, "All of you, come in."
An Zheng turned around and asked the Xiao Qi Dao, "Are you going or not?"
Xiao Qi Dao shook his head. "I'm not going, I'm following Big Brother An Zheng!"
Chapter 26 - Rider Tie Liuhuo
Mu Changyan's expression was a little ugly. He turned around and glanced at the manager, and then casually waved his hand. There was nothing out of the ordinary that happened, but the steward suddenly exploded into a cloud of bloody mist. What happened all of a sudden gave everyone a fright, especially the people from Phantom Institute, this was the first time seeing the mayor kill someone.
"You all should know that entering my academy is the best choice."
Mu Changyan took a step forward, and the eyes he used to look at An Zheng contained a huge pressure.
At this time, Mu Changyan's voice appeared in An Zheng's mind.
"I don't know where you come from, but I know something about you. You are not an ordinary boy, and you know what I mean by unusual. However, the current you is a complete mess. No matter how strong you were before, you won't be able to return within a short period of time. I know about the trade between you and the Great Mother Ye. If it wasn't for the Xiao Qi Dao, she wouldn't have cleansed your marrow. So before you make a decision, you'd better think it through. "
An Zheng didn't have the strength to send a sound transmission to the scholar's mind right now, so he shrugged his shoulders and looked towards the Xiao Qi Dao, "Qi Dao, think carefully. There are many things in the academy that can help you cultivate. And if you follow me, you may be lacking in everything. "
Xiao Qi Dao answered seriously, his voice still had a childish tone, but his words were heard clearly, "Big brother said, cultivation is not to bully people. This overseer of the academy was actually so arrogant and tyrannical. Who knew if the teacher in charge of the academy was the same. So no matter how good their teaching was, Qi Daozi didn't want to learn from them. Wherever Big Brother An Zheng goes, I'll go. I believe Big Brother An Zheng. "
An Zheng walked in front of Mu Changyan, and said with a suppressed voice, "If even you and I aren't worthy, then how about you, the teacher of the academy? I am responsible for the cultivation of Xiao Qi Dao, from today onwards, I am Mr. Xiao Qi Dao. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet... Every half a year, you will find your academy's most talented disciples and Xiao Qi Dao to compete. If Xiao Qi Dao loses, I will let him leave with you. If your people lose, don't disturb our cultivation. "
Mu Changyan said: "No matter who you are or what identity you have, it is easy for me to kill you now."
An Zheng laughed: "The black line on the left side of your neck is about to reach your ears. If I guessed right, you would definitely die when this black line reaches your forehead. So you won't live long. Once you die, those you've suppressed will immediately go berserk for revenge on anyone who has anything to do with you. At that time, you will know what kind of situation the Xiao Qi Dao is in, so can you still protect them? "
Mu Changyan's expression changed greatly, but he didn't know what to say.
An Zheng said: "Don't think that you are very strong right now, speaking so arrogantly in front of me. You can't even fly to the height I've reached. "Thus, compared to me, you do not teach me well, and your people do not."
He turned around and walked back. Mu Changyan asked: "If you weren't certain that I care about the Xiao Qi Dao, would you have told me this so blatantly?"
An Zheng answered while walking, "Of course not."
Mu Changyan suddenly raised his voice and said, "Alright then, I will remember your bet. Every six months, I will have the students of the academy fight with you guys. My people lose, and I will give you whatever you want. If you lose, come to my academy as servants. "
An Zheng said: "I'll wash your feet."
Mu Changyan was so angry that he turned around and went back into the Academy without even turning his head back. Far away on the main street, the Great Mother Ye's expression was evidently not good either.
Many disciples of Phantom Institute were gathered at the entrance, watching. They didn't know where those young men came from, but they had attracted the attention of the Mayor himself. They discussed animatedly with An Zheng and the others, but the majority of them felt that these few youngsters were simply courting death.
An Zheng did not care about those words, walking to the door of the Heavenly Awakening Martial Arts Academy to look at the plaque, he could not help but sigh: "It is indeed a little shabby."
At the entrance of the Heaven's Enlightenment Martial Academy, a raggedly dressed old man looked at An Zheng as if he was looking at a fool: "Young man, don't you think you're being a little too arrogant? The Martial Arts Academy has been ruined for a long time. Other than me, a gatekeeper, there isn't even a teacher. The original teacher of the Martial Arts Academy went to the opposite school to be a teacher … If you want to rely on your own cultivation to defeat the other disciples, why? "
An Zheng retorted, "How long has it been since you last ate meat?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "It's probably been three or four years. Ever since the dean was killed by the mayor, this place has been abandoned." The City Lord purposefully left this place here so that he could give the people of the Fantasy City a warning not to go against him. And the reason why I am still alive is because my image can make this Martial Arts Academy look even more shabby. "
An Zheng took out a piece of silver and gave it to the old man: "Take it to eat meat."
The old man was stunned. "And then?"
An Zheng laughed, "Then you can hire a few people to clean up the courtyard. You can go take a bath and buy a new set of clothes. "Previously, you were the dilapidated image of the Martial Arts Academy. In the future, you will be the rising image of the Martial Arts Academy."
The old man: "Are you serious?"
An Zheng: "You can take it that I'm bragging. "But at the very least, you will be able to live a life of wine and meat for a very long time to come."
The old man trembled as he stood up. "Alright, I'll just treat it as a dream."
When An Zheng and the others entered, they found that the weeds in the courtyard were already half the height of a person. The room was nice, but it was too dirty. A few of them found a place to sit in the courtyard, and then, An Zheng turned to them and said seriously: "From today onwards, we will be staying here. Even though I've already asked what you mean, I still have to confirm it again now, because it concerns the future of all of you. "
Du Shoushou raised his hand. "An Zheng, I'll listen to you no matter what. My future will be to follow you."
Qu Liuer lowered his head and looked outside from time to time. Mad Qu did not know what to do. After a long while, she bit his lips and said, "I don't want to cultivate, and even more so, I don't want to enter the Phantom Institute. If I had to choose, I would rather stay here. "
Xiao Qi Dao followed Du Shoushou's example and raised his hand as well. "Big Brother An Zheng, Xiao Qi Dao is following you as well."
An Zheng said as he carried Xiao Qi Dao and placed him on his lap, "You are still young right now, so you need to ask your mother for her opinion."
Right at this moment, Great Mother Ye walked in from outside with quick steps. She glanced at An Zheng for a moment, then turned around and walked away. An Zheng followed after him
with Xiao Qi Dao in her arms, Xiao Qi Dao was unusually sensible, holding onto An Zheng's neck obediently without making a fuss.
"Why?"
Great Mother Ye turned around and directly asked as she looked into An Zheng's eyes.
An Zheng passed the Xiao Qi Dao to the Great Mother Ye, then walked over to a rock at the side and leaped onto it. He picked up a stalk of hairy grass that had grown on a pile of dirt beside a rock and put it in his mouth, then said after being silent for a while: "Before I answer your question, I want to know what kind of person you want to cultivate Xiao Qi Dao to? Previously, you did not want Xiao Qi Dao to cultivate, it was most likely because you knew very well that it was dangerous, and you did not want him to be in the martial arts world, so you did not feel that you would be harmed by the waves in the martial arts world, right? "
"Later on, you changed your mind. Presumably, you also thought that the Xiao Qi Dao was extremely gifted, and it would be unfair to him if you didn't let him cultivate. Furthermore, the Xiao Qi Dao had a mother who lived in the martial arts world, how could she be outside the martial arts world? So, I really want to know what kind of person you want the Xiao Qi Dao to become. If it is only to make him stronger, then going to Phantom Institute, with the direct guidance of City Lord Mu Changyan, would be the best choice, at least in this Fantasy City. "
"But, I hope that Xiao Qi Dao will not be affected by this violent aura."
An Zheng looked at Great Mother Ye, "I'm done, I hope to get your answer. Of course, to the Xiao Qi Dao and you, I am only an outsider, so you don't have to answer my question. "
Great Mother Ye pondered for a while, then asked: "Then what kind of person do you want Xiao Qi Dao to become?"
An Zheng replied: "You have guts, you have the guts to take responsibility, and use your righteousness to suppress the great hero of the Evil Realm."
Great Mother Ye shook her head. "But I just hope that he has the power to protect herself and not get hurt, that's all."
An Zheng acknowledged them and said: "Alright, I was wrong, take Xiao Qi Dao away."
