“Are all high-rank cultivators able to sense lance?” Zu An couldn’t help but ask If that was really the case, he couldn’t bear to face anyone any Luofu shook her head and replied, “Don’t worry, I learned about it fro this about you”
Zu An felt a great weight lift off hie
It tu! Hewith someone else What the hell! Aren’t doctors supposed to have a code of ethics that they’re supposed to follow?
“Ahem, ahem, it looks like we have strayed off-topic” To clear away the aardness in the air, Zu An quickly brought the focus back to the ible benefits fromany classes either All I need is official recognition”
Jiang Luofu gave the ht, but she eventually shook her head “If a powerful cultivator with a good reputation had donated the seven-and-a-half million silver taels, I would have explored the possibility However, you should be well aware of your reputation If I really bestowed on you the title of honorary teacher, I’ll probably be covered in spit Brightstock of the country I can’t afford to take that risk”
She paused for awith a helpless smile, “Who asked you to behave so wildly over the years? You’ve only ended up hindering yourself”
Of course, Jiang Luofu had no way of knowing that the original Zu An had been real trash, so she assu off
Her decision didn’t surprise Zu An He’d fully expected Jiang Luofu to turn down his request, and was only using this as padding before revealing his true intentions “If I can’t becoive eon then”
It seee waste to spend seven-and-a-half eon But factoring in hoas unlikely to be able to cash out the promissory note, and also that it rendered the Heiress’ Ball of Delights useless, the price was just about acceptable
If he were to participate in the selections while banking on his own capabilities, he wasn’t fully confident of e victorious, even if he used all of the means he had It would be all over for hiy fro like that
This matter concerned the welfare of ‘little Zu An’ and his future happiness; he needed guarantees In a sense, it was like insuring against the worst possible outcome On top of that, he hoped the suhtmoon Academy’s directors, which would make the deal much more hile It had only been a few days since he had transrated over to this world, but it was already apparent to hi in this world
Jiang Luofu’s face darkened “Don’t you know that the dungeons only open once every few years? There’s high demand and the slots are limited; each acade students to enter the dungeon Even prodigies have to go through intense coht to qualify How could I just give a slot away that easily?”
Zu An shrugged “I don’t believe that you, as the principal of the academy, would lack such authority It’s seven-and-a-halfabout here I can’t just be giving it away for free, can I?”
Jiang Luofu stared at Zu An with eyes so sharp that they seemed able to penetrate any lies he dared to spout “What do you intend to do in the dungeon?”
“Of course it’s to search for treasures and see if I’h to stumble on any fortuitous encounters!” replied Zu An
He didn’t intend to talk about the Evanescent Lotus so as to avoid any unintended trouble
Jiang Luofu nodded “I can see where you’re co opportunities for cultivators However, the slots to the dungeons arethe Ministry of Rites I can’t just give the slot away on a whim”
Zu An i, Jiang Luofu raised her hand to forestall hiive the slot to you directly, I can still pull son you relatively weaker opponents This way, you’ll be able to rightfully obtain qualification, and the academy will be free from unwanted scrutiny”
“Doesn’t that ht for the slot then?” Zu An was a little hesitant about this plan He wanted to keep his trump cards hidden asthe strings frohtened “I don’t knohy you’ve been slacking off all of these years, but this is a world where the strong are respected As long as you’re able to prove your worth, you’ll be able to receive high standing and a behind the others, you’ll only be overtaken by everyone else The gap between you and those ahead of you will continue to increase, and you’ll find it hard to catch up to them
“I’ll be honest; I don’t really understand your thought process Despite what ht be in your past, you should know that you’re a student of our academy now You don’t have to fear or cower before any enemies anymore You can feel free to reveal your talents under our protection, and only then will I be justified to allocate more cultivation resources to you”
Zu An wasLuofu’s words, He could sense that she really had his welfare in heart However, his reasons for laying loere a little complicated First and foremost, there was no way he could tell her that the old Zu An had been real trash, and that he was totally different
To give himself cover, he replied with a random rebuttal “If my enemy is the e Luofu was full of passion after her rousing speech, but Zu An’s question choked her up Her fair face immediately flushed red “If that’s the case, I’ain, who do you think the emperor is? How could you possibly have the capability to offend hi! Don’t worry about it I’ll take your words to heart and do whatever that is needed All right, I think I should be heading off to class now,” replied Zu An
Jiang Luofu waggled her finger “Aren’t you forgetting so?”
Zu An subconsciously leaned his head forward, wondering if she was asking hioodbye kiss Are uess it doesn’t hurt for ive a small peck on such a beautiful face
Perhaps out of instinct, Jiang Luofu suddenly recoiled backward, creating some distance between the two of them “Where’s the seven-and-a-half million silver taels you promised?”
Zu An finally realized what she was referring to With a sheepish smile, he took off his shoes, pulled out a piece of paper, and placed it on the table
Jiang Luofu froze for a moment, totally speechless
