Chapter 318: The Academy of Chaos Predicament (1/2)

”It is my pleasure to be recognized by an expert like you, Daoist Friend.” Teacher Song wasn't the usual grumpy old man right now. He appeared to be an amiable and gentle old man who was talking to his grandson, ”I just want to say sorry on behalf of my student here who offended you. She is young, so she is quite a hot-blooded and arrogant individual. I just wish you forgive her this once.”

So it turned out that Teacher Song wanted to bail out his student, which was normal. Since it was his student, it was the teacher's responsibility to take care of them and their messes.

”I don't want to be stingy, but your student here has aimed me with killing intent. I felt her full bloodlust when we're fighting and I know, she can't deny this, too.” Jin Rou shook his head. Though he didn't outright deny the request, he was indicating something else.

”Why did you come here, old man? I told you that I'll never need your help!” Suddenly, the woman joined in and lashed out at Teacher Song.

”Shut up, you ingrate!” The teacher redeemed his old self and became grumpy.

But he returned to his amiable state when he looked at Jin Rou once again, ”I see. So how about this, let me invite you to have a cup of tea in my office and we will talk about things on the table. What do you say?”

”Then, I won't excuse myself. Of course, that's a good idea.” Jin Rou agreed with the suggestion.

”Perfect!” Then, the teacher created a portal and said, ”Follow me, Daoist Friend.”

Then, the teacher and Jin Rou, including the weakened woman entered the portal.

After a few minutes, the alarmed teachers reached the green garden, but there was nothing to be seen.

”Please taste this tea, Daoist Friend.” Teacher Song put a teacup on Jin Rou's end of the table and pour a red-colored liquid in his cup. The movement was very exquisite and graceful, as if the tea dances with the kettle, ”This is my most treasured tea of all time, the Soothing Extravagance. You can't just buy something like this in the market. After all, you need to take care of the leaves and preserve it for 100,000 years before being brewed.”

Jin Rou held the teacup and took a sip of the said tea, he held his breath and exclaimed in amazement, ”This is really a fine tea!”

This tea's flavor was almost the same as those that being served on their family. Just a tad sweeter.

”I told you.” Teacher Song nodded in satisfaction after seeing the reaction of Jin Rou. This was his prided tea, that not even the headmaster of the academy could have the privilege to taste, ”If you want more, I can still brew more for you Daoist Friend.”

”No, there's no need for that.” Jin Rou shook his head, ”This is already enough. I don't want to trouble you more. But it seems that you thought highly of that student of yours for you to come out personally to bail her out.”

”Well, that's true.” Teacher Song wryly smiled, ”Especially in our current situation, we need many talented seeds to nurture in the future even if we are already gone.”
