Chapter 220 – Teachers Gift! (2/2)
“Don't make it sound so bad.” Kong Li sneered. “For me to come find him now is already considered quite late. Look at you, you were the first to know the Dean's intention and used unscrupulous means to tempt Li Muyang to study your Dragon Slayer. You've lived so long, have you ever seen a real dragon? You have taught students for so many years; have your students ever succeeded in slaughtering any dragons?”
“It doesn't mean there isn't any——”
“All right all right, don't argue with me. I'm too lazy to talk to you. You haven't seen one, and there isn't any——From the start, you pulled Li Muyang to your unpopular course that was about to be removed. Xiahou Qianbai is even more shameless, secretly using unscrupulous means and furtively took Li Muyang as his formal disciple. In order to please the Dean, you two are absolutely desperate.”
“Did you hear it just now? Helped him build his foundation and also gave him 'Authentic Scripture of Pervading Mystery'——He might have gifted him his personal ma.n.u.script of 'Authentic Scripture of Pervading Mystery'. Ah, I wanted to borrow it to read but he wouldn't let me. He is so stingy to his colleagues, but generous to a novice who had only been his disciple for a few days——You tell me what is on his mind?”
“——” Yang Xiaohu looked speechless for a moment at Kong Li, thinking to himself: a Buddhist expert asked to borrow Taoist sacred book, obviously he was not willing to lend it to you. If Teacher Xiahou came to borrow your 'Tripitaka', you also won't be happy too, right?
Don't be a Li Muyang!
“If Kong Li also interferes, do you not think Li Muyang will receive too much attention? Li Muyang is indeed the student the Dean enrolled himself, but we do not know of the true intention of the Dean. Perhaps just because of a sudden impulse, or he owes someone a favour, or——”
“If so, why do you all care so much about him?”
“We did not pay particular interest to him——”
“You did not pay particular interest to him, why did you pull him into your Dragon Slayer course? If Xiahou Qianbai did not pay particular interest to him, why did he accept him as a disciple?”
“I just think he's a good student.”
“I also think the same——”
“——”
Thus, the atmosphere turned a bit awkward and silent.
After a long moment of silence Yang Xiaohu finally said in a low voice: “Teacher Kong, when several of us join forces to teach him, do you not fear of cultivating a monster?”
Kong Li finally lowered his eyes that was fixed on the sky all along, giving an arrogant glance at Yang Xiaohu as he asked: “Are you guys afraid?”
“——”
“The Dean is not afraid, you Yang Xiaohu is not afraid, Xiahou Qianbai is not afraid, you come to ask if I, Kong Li, is afraid——Are you trying to scare me off?”
“Teacher Kong, whatever I do, I obey the way of heaven, and everything is from the heart.”
“Coincidence. We Buddhists believe in karma. What a man sows, is what he will reap. I feel close with Li Muyang, I feel this boy and I are predestined——”
“——”
Kong Li waved him away with an impatient gesture. “I've decided, no need to waste your breath. I will not take back my decision. If you can make the Dean himself stop me, then I have nothing to say——”
“Teacher Kong——”
“What else do you want to say?”
“What are you going to give to Li Muyang as a present of becoming your disciple?” Yang Xiaohu's triangular-shaped eyes gleamed with antic.i.p.ation as he stared at Kong Li and asked.
