Grand Senior Brother and Li Chengfeng looked at each other. Both of them could see the burning determination in each other's eyes.
Grand Senior Brother slowly nodded his head and pointed at the side hall, "Junior Brother Qin, bring Junior Brother Chengfeng to get two sets of Hidden Sword Court's cultivator robes and some homework manuals."
Qin Mieqin nodded, then gave Li Chengfeng a look, gesturing for him to follow him.
Yuehan couldn't help but shout, "Six sets!"
Qin Mieqin and the rest turned to look at Yuehan. Yuehan smiled dryly and said, "Three people, two sets for each of us."
Ouyang Nan glared at Xiaobao. "He's a cultivator too?
Isn't he a magic pet? "
"What's wrong with a magical pet?
Magic pets can't cultivate? "
Those who didn't know what was going on looked at Xiaobao in bewilderment.
Yuehan secretly kicked Xiaobao, signaling him to speak. Xiaobao glanced at Yuehan, and Yuehan glared back at him. Xiaobao helplessly opened his mouth, "Woof woof woof, woof woof, woof woof woof woof woof woof!"
Everyone's jaws dropped. Li Chengfeng almost burst out laughing.
Ouyang Nan laughed angrily, "What is he talking about!"
Yuehan said proudly, "He said, magical pets are also Hidden Sword Court's magical pets, they can also help!"
Li Chengfeng held back his laughter and glared at her. "Look at how much you're holding back!
You've even become an interpreter, haven't you? "
Yuehan giggled as she patted Xiaobao's head. She then turned to the other disciples, who were staring at her in shock, "My pet is very obedient, he understands human nature!
Look, come, Xiaobao, extend your left hand! "
Xiaobao stared at Yuehan, after a while, he reluctantly extended his left hand. Yuehan giggled and said, "Come, right hand!"
Xiaobao glared at Yuehan, "Enough …"
Yuehan glared back at him, and Xiaobao immediately cowered. "… Woof woof woof!"
The disciples around them were dumbfounded. They couldn't tell if they were dumbfounded by the bizarre and funny scene in front of them, or if they were dumbfounded by Yuehan's sweet smile and beautiful eyes.
Everyone in Hidden Sword Court were men, it was rare to see a woman, not to mention a pretty girl like Yuehan. At that moment, most of the disciples' gazes fell on Yuehan, their eyes lingering on her.
Grand Senior Brother frowned and looked at Qin Mieqin. Qin Mieqin's expression was a little awkward. He whispered a few words to Grand Senior Brother. Grand Senior Brother snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense!
Junior Brother Qin, go and amend this Spiritual Mountain Sect's commandment immediately, then pass it on to the other pavilions.
We can't take advantage of this loophole in the future, but … we can't let them take advantage of this loophole! "
Li Chengfeng's wild imagination had already exceeded everyone's expectations by accepting a living person as a magical pet. After all, in the decennial Daqi World Cultivation Competition, magical pets were allowed to be brought on stage. However, if the magical pet was a living person with a high cultivation level, it would be a huge advantage!
After all, no matter how powerful a magical pet was, there was a limit to its intelligence. Most of the time, two people working together was definitely better than one person and one pet working together.
However, Grand Senior Brother's reaction surprised Li Chengfeng as well. He was a man of principle but not inflexible.
Grand Senior Brother nodded at Qin Mieqin. "We'll give him six sets, however many he wants. If there's anything else he wants, as long as Hidden Sword Court has it, we'll give it to him!"
Qin Mieqin nodded and brought Li Chengfeng, Yuehan and Xiaobao to a side hall at the side of the square.
Once they left, Ouyang Nan and Qiu Chuqiu hurried forward, saying in unison, "Grand Senior Brother, we can't trust this person!"
Ouyang Nan said, "We can't trust him!"
Qiu Chuqiu agreed, "Yes, we can't trust him!"
An Tong yelled, "Yes, we can't trust him!
He must be a spy! "
Grand Senior Brother glanced at him. "How can you be sure?
Do you have any evidence? "
An Tong was purely venting his anger. He had no evidence but he could not explain how he had been humiliated by Li Chengfeng.
An Tong mumbled, "I … I … I just have a gut feeling!"
Eldest Senior Brother hid his hands in his sleeves and said, "Guess how many fingers I stretched out?"
An Tong was dumbfounded. "Grand Senior Brother, I haven't cultivated the Magical Eye, how would I know?"
Grand Senior Brother said, "Don't you have a gut feeling?
Why don't you answer with your gut feeling? "
An Tong stammered, "One … two … three … no, no, four, no, five fingers …"
Grand Senior Brother said, "How many fingers?!"
An Tong smiled bitterly. "Grand Senior Brother, don't mess with me. I'll say how many fingers and you'll secretly change it. I'll be wrong!"
Grand Senior Brother raged, "Do I look like that kind of person?!
How many fingers?! "
An Tong was startled and blurted out, "Two!"
Grand Senior Brother stretched out his hand, his palm open with five fingers extended. An Tong slapped his forehead regretfully. "Ah, I guessed it right!"
Qiu Chuqiu sneered, "Nonsense, you've guessed one, two, three, four, five. How could you be wrong?"
An Tong raged, "Will you die if you don't go against me?!"
Grand Senior Brother raged, "Shut up!"
Both of them fell silent. Grand Senior Brother sneered, "Looks like your gut feeling isn't accurate either!
You can't even see through my sleeves, how can you see through a person's heart? "
Qiu Chuqiu quickly added, "Grand Senior Brother is right, there's no knowing what's in a person's heart. What you say is one thing, what you think is another!
This is a matter of life and death for Hidden Sword Court, Grand Senior Brother, you must be careful! "
Grand Senior Brother looked at Qiu Chuqiu. "Do you have any better ideas?"
Qiu Chuqiu was speechless. Grand Senior Brother scoffed, "Shut up if you don't!
Hidden Sword Court is in such a desperate situation, we can only do what we can! "
"But, but what if he really is a spy?" An Tong asked, unconvinced.
Grand Senior Brother was silent for a while, then said coldly, "Then I'll let him and his Cleansing Moon Sect die together with Hidden Sword Court!"
…
Li Chengfeng followed Qin Mieqin to collect six sets of Hidden Sword Court cultivator robes, as well as a bunch of accessories and classics. The three of them carried the clothes and books that were stacked high. For a moment, Li Chengfeng thought he was a new student.
However, this school … was cruel and bloody. He had to learn or he would be in deep trouble.
Grand Senior Brother was waiting for them at the entrance. When he saw them, he looked at Li Chengfeng and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will follow me to the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords and pick your own sword!"
Then, he turned to leave. Li Chengfeng quickly said, "Hey, wait!
Where's the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords? "
Grand Senior Brother turned to look at Qin Mieqin. Qin Mieqin said helplessly, "The 'Records of Spiritual Mountain' I gave you all have the location marked. You can go back and read it yourself."
Li Chengfeng nodded and watched them leave. The three of them looked at each other to make sure no one was around, then they smiled.
Xiaobao said excitedly, "Young Master, are we official cultivators now?"
Yuehan quickly said, "No, you're just a magical pet!"
As she spoke, she leaned on Li Chengfeng and pressed her things against his arm. She freed one hand to pat Xiaobao's head.
Xiaobao slapped her hand away. "I'm warning you, that's enough!"
Yuehan gasped and raised her reddened hand, complaining, "Young Master, look!
Your pet hit me!
Why didn't you teach him a lesson? "
Li Chengfeng looked at Xiaobao. "Xiaobao, can't you be a little gentler?
Be gentle! "
Xiaobao lowered his head in exasperation. "Young Master, if you become an Emperor, you'll be a bad one!"
Li Chengfeng laughed heartily. "If I become an Emperor, I won't mistreat you!"
Xiaobao beamed. "Of course, of course! I've been with you for so many years!"
Yuehan watched as Li Chengfeng and Xiaobao returned to cheeky smiles after the close shave. She was impressed by their bravery. Even if the sky were to fall, they wouldn't care. She played along and said, "Young Master, what official position did you give Xiaobao?"
Li Chengfeng grinned. "I have to give him a position that's second only to the Emperor!"
Xiaobao grinned from ear to ear. "Isn't that the Prime Minister?
I … I'm afraid I can't do it! "
Yuehan laughed. "Pfft, you want to blind your dog eyes?
You make it sound like you can do it! "
Xiaobao glared at her. "None of your business!
I want to be the Prime Minister, how do you know I can't do it? "
Li Chengfeng laughed. "Don't even think about it. You want to be the Prime Minister?
Don't ruin the country! "
Xiaobao was shocked. "Not the Prime Minister?
Then what do you mean by 'second only to the Emperor'? "
Li Chengfeng pointed at Xiaobao with a righteous look on his face. "If I become the Emperor, I will make you the Crown Prince!"
"Wow, the Crown Prince!"
Xiaobao laughed heartily. He held his clothes and books in one hand, and danced with the other. "Then I can become an emperor in the future … Eh, no, no, Young Master, you're taking advantage of me!"
