Chapter 1254 - 1254 13 The Brutality of the Clan School_4

Chapter 1254: Chapter 13: The Brutality of the Clan School_4 Chapter 1254: Chapter 13: The Brutality of the Clan School_4 “Keep your eyes on the long-term, and don’t just focus on the immediate gains and losses.”

“Ha ha~” Emperor Yuan You snorted coldly, “It sounds good, but what if you fail to obtain it? When that happens, you just walk away, and where would that leave us, able to complain to the Real Demon Palace?”

“How dare you!”

Demon Lord Xietong’s white pupils opened.

A terrifying blood-red energy rose, instantly transforming into horrendous pressure that heavily pressed down on Emperor Yuan You.

Emperor Yuan You shuddered all over, feeling as though he was placed amid a bloody hell, with endless evil thoughts surging towards him, stopping his following words abruptly.

“Hehe~ such audacity, daring to bargain over the orders of the Real Demon Palace,” Demon Lord Xietong laughed wildly, a brutal and cruel aura emerging, “Do you think, I, the Demon Lord, am negotiating with you? Or do you think I wouldn’t dare kill you, an emperor?”

Emperor Yuan You turned pale, his body uncontrollably trembling.

Since being promoted to the Transcendent Void Realm, this was his first real encounter with a deadly crisis.

He was used to clashing with Yin Sha Demon Lord Qi Hongzhao; although he knew Demon Lord Xietong was strong, he had no accurate concept. Only now did he realize, even though both were of the Transcendent Void Realm, Demon Lord Xietong’s strength was still enough to easily crush him, even kill him.

“Please calm your anger, Lord Xietong,” Emperor Yan Qing and Qi Hongzhao simultaneously stood up, begging in respect, “Yuan You is hot-headed and ignorant of your renown. We are willing to act according to your will.”

“Hmph!”

Only then did Demon Lord Xietong withdraw the vast blood-red Demonic Qi.

“Cough cough~”

Emperor Yuan You stumbled back a few steps, his face ashen, no longer daring to meet Demon Lord Xietong’s gaze, having never seen such a formidable being before.

At this point, Demon Lord Xietong’s gaze softened slightly, “Hongzhao, Yan Qing, I am not an unreasonable person. If this matter succeeds, the benefits will naturally be substantial enough to make your two nations stronger. If it fails, I will compensate for your losses.”

“Thank you, Demon Lord,” the three bowed together, “We will do our utmost to assist you in completing the missions of the Real Demon Palace.”

“Ha ha ha~ Good!” Demon Lord Xietong was exhilarated and burst out laughing, “Once I step onto that stage, you all will be the meritorious subjects, and the territories of Dongqian and Lingyun Sacred Land will all belong to you.”

His wild laughter echoed in the Yin Sha Sacred Temple, long lingering.

…

Meanwhile.

In Lingyun Sacred Land, Green Emperor Valley, Evergreen Garden.

In a beautiful, spiritually-rich garden, there was an open pavilion.

The pavilion was furnished with tables and writing supplies.

Wang Ningxi, labeled useless, was seriously arranging some books and materials, diligently preparing a lesson. Commanded by his great-grandfather, he was set to tutor these underachieving students.

Already seated at the desks below, were a group of odd students.

Included were Wang Ningxi’s future wife Shangguan Lingbo, his great grand aunt Wang Licui, who had just returned home after wandering away, Licui’s younger sister Lan Wanyi, Licui’s clone sapling, a mutated Little Green Snake, and Yao Chengchao from Yao’s Air Transport.

Of them all, Yao Chengchao stood out the least student-like. He had been in society for a long time, lacking any trace of the pure, earnest essence of a student.

As for Shangguan Lingbo, she was there to support her future husband’s career.

She stared unblinkingly at Wang Ningxi, her eyes gleaming faintly. Indeed, a serious man was the most handsome.

“I object, I object,” Licui’s clone’s branches flailed as it protested in a childlike voice, “My other clone is attending the Clan School, why should I study twice?”

As it grew, the infantile sounds in its speech had reduced substantially. Its mind had matured a lot compared to when it first started attending Clan School as a seven- or eight-year-old girl, now somewhat stronger.

“Grand Aunt,” Wang Ningxi said with a slight frown, “You have been studying at the Clan School for fifty or sixty years, seeing off batch after batch of classmates… Now, you can’t even pass elementary mathematics, it’s really unreasonable. Great-grandfather said, studying with both clones might help you progress faster.”

As for Lan Wanyi, she was dragged by Licui to study together. As life and death sisters, they shared joys and burdens alike.

“Everyone, I’ve arranged some exam papers overnight, especially the fundamental mathematics papers from various subjects,” Wang Ningxi held a stack of papers, “These papers range from easy to difficult, perfect to assess everyone’s ability, so I can tailor the teaching.”

“Kid, I, Yao Chengchao, am already over two hundred and sixty years old,” Yao the heirlooked at Wang Ningxi amusedly, not feeling that this green young boy could teach him anything, “I’m here to give face to Master Shouzhe of your family; I’ll reluctantly listen to the ethics and law lessons.”

“As for math? Isn’t it just Nine Chapters Arithmetic, I’m just laughing. Don’t you know how I, ‘Rapid Knife Yao,’ got my title?”

“Anyway, don’t look down on me, Yao Chengchao. Yao family also has a Clan School. And I, Yao Chengchao, had good grades back in the day at the Yao family Clan School, cultured and great in business, don’t underestimate me.”

“Oh.” Wang Ningxi indifferently pulled out an exam paper, “Since Master Yao claims to be cultured, why not try a math paper? A hundred percent is full marks, scoring over sixty proves you are educated. Then you won’t need to attend any math classes~”

“Young man, let me show you my skills in Nine Chapters Arithmetic… let you see why they call me ‘Rapid Knife Yao.'” Yao Chengchao, full of pride, picked up the exam paper and scoffed at it.

Then, his face turned serious.

Then, sweat dripped down his forehead.

Then, his face grew increasingly pale, his body spasming.

Half an hour later.

“Bang!”

Yao Chengchao slammed the exam paper on the table, rhetorically exploding, “So what if I’m uneducated? Wuu wuu~ I’ve been doing business just fine without it. Wuu wuu wuu wuu~”

Poor Yao Chengchao, despite his age, truly felt aggrieved and burst into tears.
