Chapter 1051: Clever Ling Baobao

If it weren’t for Zhao Sinin making trouble out of nothing and insisting on opposing Han Yan, such a big joke wouldn’t have happened.

"Uncle Master." Zhao Sinin was stunned by the slap. This was the first time since he was a child that he had seen Pang Dezong so stern. Frightened and shocked, he covered his face and couldn’t say a word for a long time.

"Han Yan, I’ve noted this debt against him!" Seeing the five red fingerprints on Zhao Sinin’s face, Pang Dezong felt a pang of guilt, but in front of so many people, he couldn’t comfort him. He turned his head to glance at Han Yan and said through gritted teeth.

Zhao Sinin revered Pang Dezong as if he were a parent. Although he was shocked, he held no grudges and turned to look at Han Yan, his eyes filled with hatred.

The group of tutors from Long Yan Academy also quietly looked at Han Yan and shook their heads with a wry smile.

This Big Playboy Mu from the Capital really isn’t easy to handle. If he were to enter Long Yan Academy, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause.

However, whether or not Han Yan could enter Long Yan Academy was not within their control. But keeping their distance from him to avoid getting caught in trouble was something they could do.

Almost at the same time, all the tutors made up their minds never to get involved with this Big Playboy Mu, staying as far away as possible.

After the hullabaloo, the crowd gradually dispersed, even the citizens who had been crowded around kept a reasonable distance from Han Yan and the others.

This time, it wasn’t about fearing Jade Baby accidentally falling and crashing to blame it on them, but rather fearing collateral damage from someone else’s conflict and getting embroiled in Pang Dezong’s grudges.

Han Yan could afford not to take Zhengying Academy seriously; they couldn’t be so bold.

Han Yan had noticed the hatred in the eyes of Pang Dezong and Zhao Sinin, but she didn’t take it to heart, nor did she have any regrets. If Zhao Sinin hadn’t been aggressive, repeatedly provoking her, how would she have retaliated? Speaking of which, trading such a good position at Zhengying Academy for just a few copper coins left her a little unwilling.

"Thanks for what you did earlier." After the crowd dispersed, Han Yan said to Ling Baobao.

"What are you being so polite with your own brother for?" Ling Baobao waved his hand with swagger, saying, "Daring to bully my brother Ling Baobao, that’s already light. In the old days, I’d have made them suffer terribly."

Han Yan was a bit stunned. Brother? They didn’t seem that close, did they? Although she treated this guy as a friend, his enthusiastic attitude was a bit unexpected.

"By the way, instead of staying in the Meteorite Gold Mine, why are you here?" Han Yan asked curiously.

"With nothing to do, what am I staying at the mine for?" Ling Baobao replied.

"Nothing to do? Is there a problem at the mine?" Han Yan’s heart sank. She had carefully investigated the Meteorite Gold Mine and thought it should be fine for decades, so how could there be nothing to do?

"There’s no problem, but I promised to help you refine ten thousand pieces of Meteorite Gold Ore, and I’ve finished already. Mu Nan has invited a few mediocre alchemists over. I taught them a few tricks, enough to handle things. With nothing else to do, I came to the Capital to join the fun." Ling Baobao stretched and said.

"Ten thousand pieces, you refined them all?" Han Yan looked at Ling Baobao in surprise.

From leaving Xiaocang City until now, it had only been a few months. He actually refined ten thousand pieces of Meteorite Gold Ore. Even if he didn’t eat, drink, or sleep, the speed shouldn’t be this fast.

"Hehe, I set up an alchemy array, and inside, the speed of refining Meteorite Gold is more than ten times faster than before." Ling Baobao said proudly.

"Alchemy array." Han Yan gasped. As she knew, setting up an array required even higher skills than the Sealing Technique. She didn’t expect Ling Baobao to have this ability.

"What, you don’t believe me?" Ling Baobao asked.

"It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just want to ask what you can’t do?" Han Yan said with a bitter smile. She didn’t doubt Ling Baobao’s character, but she was curious. This guy could read bones, tell fortunes, do alchemy, concoct pills, and even knew array formation techniques. What couldn’t he do?

"This is nothing. If you met my mother, you would know what being omnipotent truly means!" Ling Baobao said with pride, his chest puffed out.

"Your mother?" Han Yan became more and more curious about Ling Baobao’s background.

"Um... it’s a long story, and you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. I’ll tell you later. Here, take this first." Ling Baobao noticed Han Yan’s curiosity but clearly didn’t want to say more, taking out a piece of jade and stuffing it into Han Yan’s hand.

"What’s this?" Han Yan asked curiously.

The jade was crystal clear, without a trace of impurity, but a gentle squeeze revealed it was completely different from normal jade, as hard as metal.

"This is called a Heavenly Stone, a truly great treasure. I never expected to find something so good." Ling Baobao said, though calling it a great treasure, his face showed no excitement, as if he didn’t care much.

"Heavenly Stone..." Han Yan thought for a day but had no recollection, so she asked curiously, "What’s its use?"

"Haven’t you seen its use? That old guy shamelessly tried to defeat me with his aura, but it had no effect at all. He was scared to even make a move." Ling Baobao said proudly.

"You mean this Heavenly Stone can resist a strong person’s aura?" Han Yan said in surprise.

Earlier, Ling Baobao ignored the powerful Sword Saint aura of Pang Dezong, which puzzled her even Pang Dezong himself suspected a strong backing behind Ling Baobao. After all this time, it was entirely due to the Heavenly Stone.

Poor Pang Dezong, a dignified Sword Saint level expert and acting dean of Zhengying Academy, was humiliated by a junior no more than a Third or Fourth Rank swordsman in front of so many people, too scared to even lift a hand. If he knew the truth, who knows if he’d be so angry as to vomit three liters of blood.

"Yes, as long as I have this Heavenly Stone, no matter how strong his aura is, it won’t affect me at all." Ling Baobao said flamboyantly.

"Aren’t you afraid he might get so angry he slaps you to death?" Han Yan said with some dread.

This Heavenly Stone could only resist aura, unlike her Cangxuan Cloud Silk which had Absolute Defense. If Pang Dezong got angry and attacked directly, what could he use to defend?

"Would he dare? With my Star Divination Technique, while I may not claim to predict past lives or future lifetimes, I’m adept at reading faces and bones. Although he appears proper, his nose bridge is crooked, making him a hypocrite who appears formidable but is cowardly inside.
