Chapter 196 I'm Going to Make You Pay
Tianxin Academy truly lives up to its reputation as the highest institution of learning in Lianxin City. The academy boasts a magnificent atmosphere and profound cultural heritage, with incredibly complex rituals. The ceremony to welcome exchange students alone took an entire day.
First, the dean of Tianxin Academy took the stage to speak. He rambled on and on, repeating himself endlessly, and it took him half a day to finish.
Next, the professors from each department took the stage to speak, encouraging the exchange students to study hard and make progress every day, their words all showcasing how powerful Tianxin Academy is.
After the professors had finally finished speaking, an exchange student representative even jumped out to express gratitude for the college's various arrangements.
This matter naturally doesn't apply to Xiao Chong, even though he holds the title of a master alchemist, because among the various academies in Lianxin City, Qingfeng Academy has a very low reputation and is already at the bottom.
Xiao Chong wasn't bothered. He had seen too many similar situations in his previous life and had long since developed an immunity to them.
The correct approach is for the leader to give a speech while the audience below dozes off. It would be even better if everyone received a newspaper and some souvenirs after the ceremony.
Unfortunately, this wonderful idea did not come to pass, so he could only wait bored.
Fortunately, the wait wasn't too long, and he ran into an acquaintance.
This familiar face was none other than Sheng Xueyan, the niece of the Lord of Lianxin City.
It turned out that Sheng Xueyan was in charge of handling Xiao Chong's business with the City Lord's Mansion. However, ever since he defeated Nangong Lihuo in the Holy Pill Pavilion that day and solidified his reputation as a master of alchemy, the City Lord Sheng Chunshui was overjoyed and intended to marry his niece to him. Sheng Xueyan has never shown her face again.
When Xiao Chong discovered Sheng Xueyan, she also noticed him.
Their sudden encounter at Tianxin Academy left both of them feeling somewhat awkward.
But Sheng Xueyan, after all, came from a wealthy and powerful family, unlike those naive young women who had never seen the world. After a brief moment of awkwardness, Sheng Xueyan actually took the initiative to go to Xiao Chong's side and start a conversation with him.
Since the woman wasn't embarrassed, Xiao Chong naturally felt even less awkward. And so, the two chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company, and happily whiled away the afternoon.
Finally, as evening approached, the welcoming ceremony on the stage came to an end. The audience, who had been sitting there all day, were all tired and left.
For some reason, Xiao Chong wasn't tired at all; instead, he felt a pang of reluctance. He felt that such an important event as welcoming the exchange students was far too short, too rushed, and too unceremonious for a ceremony lasting only one day. It should have lasted at least three to five days, or even ten to fifteen days.
Unfortunately, this wonderful idea didn't come to fruition, and he could only say goodbye to Sheng Xueyan.
"Miss Xueyan, what a coincidence! So you are studying at Tianxin Academy. I hope we can have more exchanges in the future."
Xiao Chong made conversation out of nothing, completely disregarding the fact that, given the other party's family background, where else could they pursue further studies if not at the highest institution of learning?
Sheng Xueyan also seemed a little reluctant to leave, and said with a smile, "It's getting late today, but there's plenty of time in the future. As long as Master Xiao doesn't mind, there will be many opportunities to exchange ideas in the future."
Dislike? How could I? I'm overjoyed!
Dazzled by Sheng Xueyan's radiant smile, Xiao Chong's heart fluttered, and he felt as if his eyes were about to be blinded.
"Don't bother with any master or anything. We're all so familiar with each other, just call me Xiao Chong. Let's go. There's no one left in the academy, and it's all dark. It wouldn't be good if we were alone together, a man and a woman, and people misunderstood us."
Xiao Chong's words were clearly insincere, and his expression, which seemed to want people to misunderstand him, had already betrayed his true feelings.
On the contrary, Sheng Xueyan was very generous and smiled nonchalantly, saying, "We happen to be going the same way, so we can travel together."
After saying that, he left Tianxin Academy side by side with Xiao Chong.
The two chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at an alley not far from the college.
……
Behind a high wall in the alley, Helian Tieshu and his gang waited anxiously. After careful consideration, he put on a bronze mask.
Not only that, for safety's sake, he even wore a suit of armor underneath his outer garment. He was truly terrified of Xiao Chong after the last time he was hit.
"Brother Helian, why are you wearing a mask?" Zhang Yi looked at Helian Tieshu and asked in a low voice, puzzled.
"Oh, wearing this will make you look more imposing." Helian Tieshu didn't dare to tell the truth and made up an excuse to cover it up.
"But this is so ugly! It's a ghost face." Zhang Yi muttered, wanting to ask more.
But Helian Tieshu had already covered his mouth with his hand and shushed him, "Don't make a sound. I heard footsteps. It's very likely that Xiao Chong is coming."
The group held their breath and peered out through a small hole in the high wall.
The footsteps grew closer, and a man and a woman slowly walked into the alley.
"It really is Xiao Chong, but who is that woman with him? Oh no, it's Sheng Xueyan, the daughter of the Sheng family. This is bad, we can't afford to offend her. What should we do?"
As the two drew closer and he could see their faces clearly, Helian Tieshu grew increasingly anxious, unsure whether he should continue his attack.
……
By this time, it was already dark. The streetlights inlaid with yellow crystals cast long shadows of Xiao Chong and Sheng Xueyan. The alley was quiet, with only a crescent moon hanging in the sky, radiating a faint glow.
"With such a beautiful time and scenery, and a lovely woman by your side, could something unexpected happen?"
Under the pale moonlight, looking at Sheng Xueyan's delicate face, Xiao Chong had a secret thought, and a strange smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Xiao Chong, what are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so strangely?" Sheng Xueyan asked curiously.
"Oh, I was thinking, the moon is so round tonight!" Xiao Chong panicked and started to lie through his teeth.
"But what I see is a crescent moon? Is there something wrong with my eyes? Or are you seeing things?"
Sheng Xueyan became even more curious and couldn't help but wave her hand in front of Xiao Chong.
"This is definitely going to be interesting! Should I say I got sand in my eye and ask her to blow it out for me?"
Upon smelling a delicate fragrance wafting to his nose, Xiao Chong was extremely excited, and his heart began to pound wildly.
But at that moment, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
"Could there be an ambush? I'm new here and don't know anyone, and I haven't offended anyone, have I?"
Xiao Chong was startled and forcibly suppressed the erotic thoughts in his heart. He closed his eyes and released his spiritual power to sense the surroundings.
He is now close to becoming a fourth-grade mental master, and his mental power is extremely strong. Once he fully unleashed his power, he immediately made a discovery.
"There are people behind the wall, all of them martial artists, and the one with the highest cultivation level has already reached the Martial Master realm!"
"Since I have no grudges against anyone, it's very likely that they intend to harm Sheng Xueyan!"
"But you've miscalculated. You don't know that I'm a Mind Master and can see through your plot beforehand!"
"With me here, no one will dare to harm a single hair on Miss Sheng's head. I'll make sure you regret it!"
Driven by his protective instincts, Xiao Chong secretly resolved to teach these ignorant fools who dared to defy him a lesson.
