Chapter 85 – Break the School ( Part 1) (2/2)

Tang Thirty Six looked at Xuan Yuan Po, lifted the wheat tea and said, “Do you know where there’s wine?”

Xuan Yuan Po replied honestly, “I have been searching for it for days……no wine here.”

Tang Thirty Six moved his eyes slightly, preparing to ask for something.

Xuan Yuan Po added promptly, “There is no wine for cooking in the kitchen, not even fermented glutinous rice.”

…………………………………………

Drinking wine is not good for your health, eating too much fat is not good for your health, being too emotional is also not good for your health, sleeping and waking up early is good for your health, eating fish is good for your health, eating veggies is also good for your health. Chen Chang Sheng had been strictly following “rules to being healthy” to decide what he should do and what he shouldn’t do.

He had lived like this for many years. Only for a really short period of time did he discard such a life style. That period was just while ago. In the dimension under the abandoned garden in the Great Zhou royal court, in front of the Frost Mighty Dragon, he thought he was going to die and he regretted that he had never lived freely for even once in his life, so he decided to do so at the last moments of his life. He shouted towards that terrifying black dragon with tears all over his face. At the same time, he recalled the life that was just started a few years ago.

Yet he didn’t die. Thinking about it now, he felt embarrassed about his action then. Afterwards, he naturally returned to his old ways — living according to those rules again. Of course, he didn’t accept Tang Thirty Six’s suggestion, after all, how much was because drinking wine was unhealthy and how much was not being able to face the problem. He didn’t know the answer himself.

He retreated to his own little building.

He lied on the bed and looked at the sky that was gradually turning blue, looked at the stars that was gradually turning dark, looked at the starry forest and realized that he actually couldn’t fall asleep.

He rarely had insomnia, so he felt a bit blank. He didn’t know what he should do if he couldn’t fall asleep. Should he open or close eyes? Should he think about other matters? Or should he not think of anything and simply count sheep?

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep………….

Among the white sheep filling the hill, a black goat suddenly appeared.

He remembered the black goat that carried him to the Wei Yang Palace in the big royal palace, remembered the black dragon that let him leave and felt that what happened tonight was too strange. He didn’t recall the middle aged woman who was almost injured by the flower pot.

Then he remembered Qi Jian and Gou Han Shi. He didn’t feel proud, only respect.

He truly respected the disciples of the Li Mountain Sword Sect, especially Gou Han Shi.

Gou Han Shi read all the Scrolls of Way, and he also had a high level of xiuxing. How come I don’t? Chen Chang Sheng thought.

Like what Tang Thirty Six said, in the Great Trial, what would I do?

He opened up his eyes.

Soft and light starlight slipped through the window and fell on his hand.

He turned over his hand and then turned it over again. Watching the starlights fall on it and then gradually disappear, he sighed helplessly.

Outside the window, a bird tweeted.

This made him remember the white crane that returned from the South.

It made him feel much calmer.

So he gradually fell asleep.

…………………..

In the morning, Chen Chang Sheng woke up.

He looked outside and saw that it was still early. Although it was a lot later than he was used to, he had slept later than usual last night and he also had a bit of insomnia, so he lacked sleep severely. He could hardly keep his eyes open.

He still got up, not because of the rules of living, but because it was noisy outside.

He was awaken by the sound.

He was not used to such feeling of lack of sleep. He felt so uncomfortable. After he cleaned his face and brushed his teeth, he walked out as he rubbed eyes and yawned.

Tang Thirty Six and Xuan Yuan Po were also awaken by the sounds coming from outside the school. They looked even more uncomfortable than him. It seems that they slept even later last night.

“I didn’t even brush my teeth yet!”

Hearing the noises outside the school, Tang Thirty Six felt gloomy.

“Why is it so noisy in the morning?” Chen Chang Sheng asked.

Xuan Yuan Po thought a bit and replied, “Because we defeated Li Mountain Sword Sect last night, many people are coming to our school to register?”

Chen Chang Sheng felt dazed thinking that this might be a possibility.

Tang Thirty Six sneered, “You think everyone in the capital is as dumb as you, or as naive and idiotic as him? Like what I said last night, since Chen Chang Sheng offended the Divine Queen, Qiu Shan Family, Li Mountain Sword Sect, and Dong Yu General’s Mansion all at once, and didn’t make the Pope happy…..what parent would dare to send his or her kid to study here? That’s just suicide.”

The noises outside the school got louder and louder but it was hard to tell what it was about.

An invisible pressure began to spread out, along with the noises.

Normally, even if Luo Luo hadn’t waken up yet, the breakfast from the Herb Garden would be delivered here by now.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.
