Chapter 305: The Shame of the Academy Steps onto the World Stag

Tang Xiaotang looked at the three before her as she scratched her head in annoyance, thinking that it was really troublesome.

She had watched the three entering the sacred grounds with her brother outside the Front Gate but had lost their tracks after that. She didn't think that they would meet in the valley. She believed that she was not any weaker than the three, but it was obvious that the three were not feuding, and she did not think that she was strong enough to defeat the Tao Addict, the Calligraphy Addict and the core disciple of the Headmaster of Academy.

Whitey who had accompanied her through the long and complicated pa.s.sages earlier on, had suddenly gone missing. She had searched it for a long time before following the clues hopefully. However, she had heard a discussion on how to kill whitey and turn it into food in the mist. The joy that she had experienced at finding Whitey was quickly replaced with anger. She had jumped from high above in her anger and had been ambushed with Ye Hongyu's Taoist Sword due to her recklessness.

Ye Hongyu's ambush did not harm her due to her state having fallen from the Knowing Destiny State to the Seethrough State for a reason that was still unknown to her. However, she was not made of rock no matter how strong her body with the blood of the Desolate Man was. Her internal organs had been hurt in the shock for her jumping from a high ground, which others did not know for the moment.

Tang Xiaotang s.h.i.+vered. It was only by then did she truly understand how dangerous it was. She had almost killed herself hurtling down. She knew that if her brother found out how muddle-headed she was, he would be very angry. She pulled down her fur cap on her head subconsciously as she thought of that. She stuck out her tongue at the thought and looked utterly adorable.

”You all seem to have encountered many things in the sacred ground. It is our sacred ground, and not meant for outsiders like you to enter at will. I don't take advantage of your injuries, but you guys shouldn't take advantage of the fact that I am alone.”

Tang Xiaotang felt that the decision she had made hastily was very intelligent. She was about to head to Chang'an to learn from the Headmaster of the Academy, so she shouldn't hurt that guy called Ning Que. Following that, she said in a clear childish voice, ”The road is wide, we can just each take a side.”

Ning Que stood behind Ye Hongyu and did not wait for her to say anything. Instead, he said, ”Young heroine, you do make sense. We shall leave you here.”

He knew very well of their situation. They had been tortured by that flesh-eating old monk for a long time. Even if they were the Calligraphy Addict and the Tao Addict, they were both weak to the extreme. Choosing to fight with a girl from the Devil's Doctrine who was full of primordial Qi was a stupid decision.

The girl from the Devil's Doctrine looked adorable. However, Ning Que just wanted to stay as far away from her as possible. He was threatened by the girl's power, and also, Master

Lotus' stories and actions had caused him to develop a fear of the Devil's Doctrine. Even though he had joined the Devil, it didn't mean that he could become naturally close to those from the Devil's Doctrine. Just like how Youngest Uncle had joined the Devil then, but had still destroyed the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine.

Ning Que relaxed as he watched Tang Xiaotang who was about to say something. However, his body remained tense and his right hand, which was behind his back, clenched tightly. However, he forgot that his hand was still stuck in the Little White Dog's throat. As his fingers tightened, the Little White Dog was struck by intense pain and uttered a feeble cry.

The weak and pitiful cry that sounded like a dying person calling for his family. Tang Xiaotang, who was about to leave, returned to her senses. She lowered her head in anger, and thought to herself that she might have injured her brain when she landed, and had forgotten why she had taken the risk and jumped from high above.

She looked at the three and suppressed her anger. She said, ”Return Whitey to me and I'll leave.”

Ye Hongyu glanced at Ning Que expressionlessly before moving to the side.

Ning Que glared at her. He raised his right hand and looked at Tang Xiaotang. ”Is this your pet dog? No wonder it's so adorable. I was wondering why there was a dog in this valley. So it is a sacred dog of the Devil's Doctrine.”

The dog that was suspended in mid-air looked really pitiful. His mouth was opened wide, and b.l.o.o.d.y drool dripped from his mouth. Its stomach heaved lightly with each breath as it looked at its owner pitifully. Its eyes had turned red due to its struggle.

Tang Xiaotang looked at it and saw red. She ignored Ning Que's flattery and she grew angry with red eyes.

There was a strong gust of wind and a strong blow. Dust settled slowly.

Tang Xiaotang glared at Ning Que who leaned against the smooth stone of the valley. She yelled angrily, ”I'm going to kill you!”

Ning Que could not raise his arm due to the pain. The bone in it had been shattered into many pieces from the girl's blow. It was then, when he finally believed Ye Hongyu's comment that the little witch from the Devil's Doctrine was really scary.

Blood

Blood flowed from his lips as he watched Tang Xiaotang. He said hoa.r.s.ely, ”I'm giving you this, and we will consider this matter settled. If you want to fight, don't blame me for not being nice. So what if you are from the Enlightenment Doctrine? I am the successor of the Headmaster of the Academy.”

It was obvious that the t.i.tle of being a core disciple of the Headmaster of the Academy was much more impactful than that of the Divine Hall or the Buddhism Sect. Tang Xiaotang did not react.

Mo Shanshan stood beside Ning Que and watched the girl who was getting closer to them.

Ye Hongyu glanced at Ning Que with a grin before moving further back.

Ning Que shook his head at Mo Shanshan. ”You'd better conserve your energy.”

Mo Shanshan replied lightly, ”So I should watch you be beaten alive just because of a dog?”

”How would a person like me be beaten alive by a girl? I will not even consider this type of death a possibility.”

Ning Que stood up with the support of the stone wall. He clutched the pathetic looking Little White Dog tightly and looked at Tang Xiaotang. He said solemnly, ”If you make one more step forward, I will strangle this pathetic dog.”
