210: Ningxing returned

Xiao Weiqing crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair.

"It doesn't matter who it is, but you just need to know who you will be facing in a few days."

The woman gritted her teeth, her chest heaving violently.

Since when did a mere brat dare to speak to him like that? The last person who spoke to him in such a manner had long since been fed to the Yao Beast.

"Xiao Weiqing, what do you want? Just say it."

Zhou Weihua said coldly, his eyes filled with malice.

Xiao Weiqing grinned.

"1,000 units of divine charm."

"Having 1,000 units of divine charm will make me forget these unpleasant matters."

"You're crazy!"

"Even winning first place in the national Exchange Competition only earns you 1,000 units of divine charm." Zhou Weihua looked at Xiao Weiqing in disbelief.

The woman was even more furious, "Are you sure you want to make an enemy of my Family?"

Qian Yi, who was on the side, was also shocked. She hadn't expected Xiao Weiqing to be so bold, asking for such an exorbitant amount. Although they were at the Academy and she was present, so nothing would happen, the Zhou Family was not an ordinary Family.

Looking at Xiao Weiqing's expression, Qian Yi couldn't quite gauge his true intentions. However, what Xiao Weiqing said was correct; Ning Xing would be returning soon, and given Ning Xing's temper, it was not impossible for him to storm the Zhou Family directly.

Just then.

Two fingers touched Qian Yi's thigh, and she felt as if an electric current had passed through her entire body, a flush flashing across her face.

"This brat, he doesn't even look at where he is."

She instinctively wanted to scold Xiao Weiqing.

However, from the corner of her eye, she saw one of Xiao Weiqing's hands gesturing continuously under the table.

Qian Yi composed herself, sat up straight, and said, "That's enough. This is Luo Jiang Academy, not your Zhou Family."

"500 units of divine charm, delivered tomorrow, and this matter ends here. Xiao Weiqing, don't say anything more; it's a small matter, there's no need to disturb Principal Ning."

Chu Bo also stepped in to mediate, "That's right, Principal Ning has just returned from the Demon Realm, there is no need to disturb him."

"Teacher Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Weihua looked at the woman beside him.

"500 it is! Yan'er, let's go."

The woman took Zhou Yan, and Zhou Weihua left.

Subsequently, Chu Bo also left.

Only Qian Yi and Xiao Weiqing remained.

"You brat, you really aren't afraid of death, asking for 1,000 units of divine charm right off the bat."

"It's called bargaining."

"Besides, they came to me themselves. I thought 200 units of divine charm would be enough, who knew they would even agree to 500?"

"Teacher Qian, you're still the best." Xiao Weiqing gave a thumbs up, offering a bit of flattery.

Qian Yi retorted irritably, "It has nothing to do with me. They are afraid of your teacher. You should know, the Zhou Family has an old immortal who is an Eighth Realm Expert."

"Eighth Realm?"

Xiao Weiqing was startled, "Then why are they afraid of Teacher?"

"It's because Principal Ning slew a Yao Venerable in the Demon Realm. Otherwise, do you think they would be in such a rush to come and apologize? What were they doing before?"

"What?"

Xiao Weiqing was greatly shocked.

"Teacher slew a Yao Venerable?"

"You didn't know?"

"I didn't know. I left a message for Teacher, but he hasn't replied to me."

"Maybe he's busy, or perhaps his Wristband is broken."

"Slap!"

Xiao Weiqing slapped his thigh again, his face full of regret.

"What's wrong with you now?"

"I should have asked for 5,000 units!"

"?"

"Why didn't you ask for 50,000?" Qian Yi said irritably.

"Could the Zhou Family even bring that out?" Xiao Weiqing countered.

"In your dreams."

"You really dare to think big."

Qian Yi extended her slender finger and pressed hard against Xiao Weiqing's forehead.

"I'm leaving."

...

The next day.

Xiao Weiqing received 500 units of divine charm, which came in the form of an Ore called Wuji Iron.

The name sounded quite intimidating, but it was actually the most trashy divine charm substance. A piece of Wuji Iron the size of a fist only contained one unit of divine charm, not a shred more.

However, this was still a timely rain. Xiao Weiqing once again entered his crazed mode of fusing Samadhi True Fire.

It could be said that he forgot to eat and sleep.

Five days later.

Before he had even finished using two hundred units of divine charm, Xiao Weiqing stopped his Cultivation because Ning Xing had returned.

The instructor residential area.

"Teacher, what happened to you?"

At this moment, Ning Xing was lying on a chair, wrapped up like a mummy.

"I took out a Yao Venerable and sustained some injuries. Actually, I'm already fine, but on the way back, I wanted to lure out a few enemies, so I deliberately made myself look like this."

Xiao Weiqing couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't scary for a Martial Cultivator to be reckless; what was scary was when they started using their brains.

"Teacher, did you reach a Breakthrough to the Eighth Realm?"

"No."

Xiao Weiqing was stunned, "No? Then how did you slay a Yao Venerable?"

Ning Xing took out a cigar and started smoking, "You can slay a Fourth Realm Wild Bull at the Third Realm, so it's reasonable for me to slay a Yao Venerable at the Seventh Realm, right?"

"Uh... I suppose, that's reasonable..."

Xiao Weiqing agreed verbally, but inwardly he was frantic. Reasonable my foot! How can those be the same?

"Tell me about it. On this trip to the ruins, fewer than 30 of you came out alive. The losses were heavy."

"Wait... did you break through the Jiaji Pass?"

Ning Xing suddenly sat up straight, his brows knitting together tighter and tighter.

"Teacher, I sent you a message the very first moment. If you don't believe me, check your Wristband yourself." Seeing that Ning Xing was about to lose his temper, Xiao Weiqing quickly explained.

"Is that so? My Wristband broke during the battle and I just got a replacement; I didn't pay attention."

"Continue. Tell me about the Three-Star Civilization Ruins."

Xiao Weiqing thought for a moment, organized his language, and recounted everything that had happened in the Three-Star Civilization Ruins.

"Sigh... what a pity."

Ning Xing felt a sense of shared fate and unease.

"Teacher, do you know what the primal divine light is?"

"I've never heard of it."

"Teacher, I saw a Yao Race god this time."

"What, are you afraid?"

Xiao Weiqing nodded, then shook his head, "To say I'm not afraid would be a lie, but I'm not that afraid either. It's mainly because I don't know how strong such an existence really is, so I have no gauge in my heart."

"Hahaha..."

"Good, very good! Weiqing, you are truly different."

Ning Xing laughed loudly, a tone of great gratification and appreciation in his voice.

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

Xiao Weiqing was a bit confused by Ning Xing.

Ning Xing said, "Do you know that nowadays, some people, the stronger their strength, the more afraid they are in their hearts?"

"They have already achieved a Breakthrough to the Seventh or Eighth Realm and think they are very strong, yet they still cannot do what the so-called gods can do; they can't even see the shadow of a god."

"They discover that no matter how they Cultivate, there is still an uncrossable chasm between them and the gods, so they become afraid and timid."

"But you are different. With only Third Realm strength, you saw a god take action with your own eyes, yet in your eyes, I did not see any fear of the gods. Even I dare not say I could definitely do that."

"Oh."

Xiao Weiqing didn't think much of it.

"By the way, Teacher, here is this for you."

Xiao Weiqing handed the two temple secret keys to Ning Xing and recounted the matter with the Zhou Family once again.

"This is the Three-Star temple secret key?"

"It should be, hehe..." Xiao Weiqing's eyes flickered.

Ning Xing glared at him, "Using me as a shield, are you? Fine, I'll keep this here. I'll release the news that whoever wants it can come and take it."

"Is there another third at the Zhou Family? Do you want me to get it back?"

Xiao Weiqing shook his head, "No need, Teacher. I will retrieve it myself. If you take it, what excuse will I have to find Zhou Yan in the future?"

"You brat, do as you say."

"And this."

Xiao Weiqing took out the crystal given by Brigitte.

"And what is this?"

"A technology, the Gravity Chamber."

Whoosh!

Ning Xing stood up abruptly.

"What did you say!"

Xiao Weiqing replied, "This is a gift in return from the Three Star Civilization son, Potz. At that time, there were many good things in that hall, and I was allowed to take one thing with me."

"I looked carefully, and only the core Materials for the Gravity Chamber were relatively scarce. Blue Star is not lacking much of it, so it should be possible to replicate it."

"At the very worst, making a low-end version will also work."
