"What, is my reputation not good?"
Xingyuan Venerable showed a hint of embarrassnt.
This was expected.
His current operation had fallen into the enemy’s trap and implicated several of his companions.
It’s no wonder that there would be good reviews.
Purple Cloud Venerable, who had arrived, had already inquired about everyone’s opinion and said awkwardly, "Well, not exactly."
"The dean faced great danger, sacrificing himself for others, and is still quite adored."
Xingyuan Venerable’s hanging heart slightly eased.
Luckily, he managed to turn the tide and salvaged part of his negative reputation.
"So, is the evaluation decent?"
He looked hopeful, maybe he gained many followers?
Purple Cloud Venerable looked odd, "Well, not really..."
Hmm?
Xingyuan Venerable slightly furrowed his brow.
Neither good reviews nor bad.
So what is it?
Purple Cloud Venerable cast his gaze elsewhere, not daring to look Xingyuan Venerable in the eye.
At this mont.
Quite a few Outer Sect strongn arrived, all paying their respects.
"Lu Ming Grass Hall, Qingyin, pays respect to Dean Xingyuan."
Xingyuan Venerable flew out of the crater, cleared his throat, and said, "Thank you, Qingyin Venerable, for your concern."
"I’m fine."
But Qingyin Venerable did not look at him; instead, she looked around: "Dean, what about Wang Chongxiao?"
"Is he injured? Is there anything needing assistance?"
Xingyuan Venerable paused.
No, I’m standing right in front of you, right?
I was badly beaten by Wu Gou and the Five-Star Giant King, and you don’t care about but care about Jiang Fan?
What a clueless Qingyin Venerable!
In the future, she’s not allowed to co to my Wenhai Academy!
At this ti, another venerable stepped forward.
"Wanjuan Bookstore Xinglu, pays respect to Dean Xingyuan."
"Dean, how’s your injury?"
Xingyuan Venerable felt imnsely gratified, see, how considerate the venerable from Wanjuan Bookstore is?
They even care about !
Not like Qingyin Venerable!
"Thank you for your concern..."
The words were in his mouth,
Venerable Xinglu didn’t wait for him to finish and looked left and right eagerly: "I’m glad it’s nothing."
"Dean, why isn’t Wang Chongxiao here?"
"Our disciples at Wanjuan Bookstore asked to greet him."
Xingyuan Venerable widened his eyes, choked on the spot, unable to utter a word.
Then.
Respectables continued to step forward and pay respects.
But without exception, after brief small talk, they would inquire about Wang Chongxiao; not a single one cared about him.
"Our teacher wishes to invite Wang Chongxiao to our academy to give lectures and preach; where is he?"
"What’s your teacher? Our patriarch is already on the way, we must invite Wang Chongxiao to our academy."
"Stop arguing. Wang Chongxiao is already a guest at our Tianya Academy; no one else should compete with us!"
"What’s the matter, why do your Tianya Academy monopolize Wang Chongxiao?"
"Not convinced? Let’s see a real challenge in words!"
"Co then! I wish the mouth of your Tianya Academy’s venerable to sll!"
"Impudent wretch, I wish your groin to be half the length!"
"Ah! You are so sinister, I wish your chest to be like a ball!"
...
Xingyuan Venerable watched a group of respectables fighting fiercely to win Jiang Fan over.
While he, an elder, was ignored on the side.
He felt incredibly frustrated.
No wonder Purple Cloud Venerable hesitated, saying outsiders’ evaluation of him was neither good nor bad.
Because, no one actually looked at him!
The spotlight was completely stolen by Jiang Fan!
Purple Cloud Venerable awkwardly said, "Dean, are you alright?"
Xingyuan Venerable rubbed his chest, feeling utterly chilled.
He didn’t ache after being beaten near death by Wu Gou and the Five-Star Giant King.
But now it hurt.
"I’m fine; what about that kid?" Xingyuan Venerable flicked his sleeves, trying to calm himself down.
Purple Cloud Venerable paused slightly, "He... landed safely."
Xingyuan Venerable nodded slightly, "That’s good. If anything were to happen to him, the Great Wine Sacrifice from Taicang State would probably co wielding knives."
"Where did he land?"
Purple Cloud Venerable touched his nose, his expression unnatural, "Yangxin Courtyard."
Eh?
Isn’t that where True Word Venerable is sealed?
Xingyuan Venerable exclaid, "Is everyone inside alright?"
Purple Cloud Venerable dared not look him in the eye, coughed dryly, "It’s fine; no one is severely hard."
"Just suffered a loss."
"When Wang Chongxiao landed with the fireball, sohow he held her."
"The two were burnt and held each other naked, sowhat inappropriate."
He cautiously said, "I hear she’s the dean’s daughter?"
Upon hearing.
Xingyuan Venerable was furious, glaring:
"What?"
"Held together? Naked?"
"Damn brat, could he swear it wasn’t intentional to take advantage of my daughter?"
"Where is he now?"
Purple Cloud Venerable coughed dryly, "Seems like he’s going to the lady to ask for rewards for this trip."
"He seems to have forgotten he has the Heavenly Eye Crystal on his forehead."
"Shall we call him over to remind him to take it off?"
Xingyuan Venerable snorted, "Let’s not bother with him for now."
"We’ll talk about rit and rewards later; let deal with this first."
He took out a Jade Box from his sleeve, several seals were affixed on it.
Still, intense negative emotions seep out, making people uncomfortable.
Inside the Jade Box was rely a drop of blood.
This was the blood from the Ancient Sky Pit.
The Five-Star Giant King tried to transform him directly with the blood, shooting hundreds of drops of blood.
He secretly kept one drop; should he luckily escape back to Central Earth, he would study it thoroughly, to see if there could be other ways to decode apart from the Saint Crystal.
"This is the blood Jiang Fan discovered at the Ancient Sky Pit Blood Pool in Taicang State."
"Take this to the square in front of the academy, for all sect’s disciples to observe."
"Everyone brainstorms to see if anyone knows how to decode it."
Purple Cloud Venerable carefully received it: "Yes, Dean."
Xingyuan Venerable also instructed, "Be careful; don’t let people get close. This drop of blood is formidable below a venerable, may convert soone into an Ancient Giant."
Purple Cloud Venerable prudently said, "Yes!"
After handling the matter.
He asked another academy’s venerable: "Where is Venerable Lianjing?"
"Reporting to the dean, Venerable Lianjing has been rescued and is still unconscious."
Xingyuan Venerable frowned slightly, said: "Go check."
"She suffered most from the Wise Man’s Law, even more than I and Wang Chongxiao."
On the other side.
In front of a chamber adorned with enchanting flowers.
Xiong Xiong said, "My mom is inside."
Jiang Fan gazed at the garden full of flowers, quietly amazed, all due to the array.
He just wanted to shout, to remind Qian Jiao Venerable, but Xiong Xiong went directly into the garden, saying:
"Co on, uncle, follow in and you can enter."
Well, having her son lead the way is better.
It’s sowhat impolite to shout outside.
He followed Xiong Xiong’s steps, peacefully crossing the garden without triggering any array.
Successfully reaching the chamber front.
"Alright, uncle, I’ll go play; you chat with my mom."
Xiong Xiong ran off with his hamr, leaving Jiang Fan alone.
Jiang Fan grinned, best to quickly grab the Wish Paper and leave.
His intuition told him, it’d be no more than a cup of tea before this bear child causes trouble.
He stepped forward, just about to knock on the door.
Suddenly heard a man’s voice inside.
Jiang Fan was stunned.
This is Qian Jiao Venerable’s chamber; how could there be a man?
Xingyuan Venerable barely survived in the Heavenly Realm, and his wife was cozying with a man in the chamber?
My goodness!
Is this sothing he should know?
Better escape quickly; otherwise, it might cost him his life!
But just as he was about to leave, the voice inside the chamber abruptly stopped.
Then, the door behind him slowly creaked open.
A slightly frosty voice echoed in his ear.
"How much did you hear?"
