C260 Zhu Yongtang's Enemies
The enemy of Zhu Yongtang.
The Ziwei Academy was the holy land of the Eastern Wasteland, and it was revered by thousands of people. Today was Ren Daoqing's birthday, and all of his disciples were going to come back and congratulate him on his birthday.
Zhu Yongtang was one of his disciples a few years ago. Now that he had returned to the Ziwei Academy, he was here to celebrate Ren Daoqing's birthday.
There were 108 stone stairs here, and the highest one was the main gate of Ziwei Academy.
This was a kind of meaning: One hundred steps to climb the Divine Gate!
Gai Yin looked at the entrance of the Ziwei Academy above the one hundred steps and asked, "I heard that there are many magical places in the Ziwei Academy, such as the Fallen God Valley, the Listening Sound Pavilion, and the Introspection Cliff..."
Zhu Yongtang nodded and said with a smile, "What? Mr. Gai Yin also knows about these places?"
"Moo Tingwan fell in Fallen God Valley. In the Sound Pavilion, the cries of divine beasts could be heard. In the Introspection Cliff, love is hard to find!"
Gai Yin made up what he knew into three sentences.
Zhu Yongtang was confused after hearing Gai Yin's words. He said, "Everyone in Forbidden Realm knows that Moo Tingwan was killed in Fallen God Valley. There is no problem with your first sentence, but the last two sentences... "
"What does the cry of a divine beast mean in the Sound Pavilion?"
"Also, the last sentence, under the Introspection Cliff, love is hard to find?"
After Gai Yin heard Zhu Yongtang's question, he just smiled and did not answer him.
Zhu Yongtang looked at Gai Yin's mysterious smile and only smiled.
At this time, Gai Yin and the other two arrived at the bottom of the 108 stone stairs of Ziwei Academy. There was a square here, and many people were gathered here to celebrate Ren Daoqing's birthday.
Among these people, there were some who were once Ren Daoqing's disciples, and some who were here to congratulate Ren Daoqing.
At this moment, all of them were gathered together, waiting for the door of Ziwei Academy to open.
Gai Yin mixed in with the crowd and said with a smile: "The people here are all people who just drove a boat here."
Zhu Yongtang nodded and smiled. "That's right. There is a rule in Ziwei Academy. The master's birthday feast is a grand event in the entire Eastern Wasteland. Therefore, all those who come to celebrate the birthday have to go through a selection process before they can enter the academy."
"Oh, what kind of selection method is that?" Gai Yin asked curiously.
"There are three types. The first type is all the disciples of the respected master. As long as you have the word 'master' imprinted on your body, you can directly enter the Ziwei Academy."
"The second type is the guests who have been invited by the Ziwei Academy. For example, the Fourth Miss Gong has an invitation card in her hand."
"The third type is neither a disciple nor an invitation card. They are all here because of their fame, such as you, Mr. Gai Yin."
Gai Yin nodded his head. It turned out that it wasn't easy to participate in Ren Daoqing's birthday banquet. There were still many layers of filtering that needed to be done.
However, Gai Yin wanted to know how a person like him, who came because of his fame, could enter the Ziwei Academy.
Gai Yin stared at Zhu Yongtang and asked, "Then how should we enter the Ziwei Academy?"
Zhu Yongtang smiled and said, "We will enter the palace first, then the fourth young lady, and finally you guys."
"When the time comes, you can tell me my name first. If you can, you can enter. If not..."
Zhu Yongtang paused for a moment and thought for a moment. He did not say anything.
Gai Yin snorted and said, "What?"
Zhu Yongtang said, "Mr. Gai Yin, didn't you prepare a birthday gift? You can take it out first. Perhaps you can go in."
Gai Yin looked at Zhu Yongtang and realized that Zhu Yongtang didn't have the ability to bring him into Ziwei Academy.
However, Gai Yin didn't mind and said with a smile: "Alright."
Zhu Yongtang nodded. He looked at Gai Yin and said, "Mr. Gai Yin, don't worry. If you can't come in,i will think of a way for you."
"No need. I will come in." Gai Yin said with certainty.
"Oh, could it be that Gai Yin has his own method?" Zhu Yongtang looked at Gai Yin doubtfully.
Gai Yin nodded and smiled. "Of course, don't worry."
Zhu Yongtang saw how confident Gai Yin was and no longer worried. He smiled and said: "Alright. Since Mr. Gai Yin is confident,i will wait for you in the academy. I will show you the Ziwei Academy."
Gai Yin nodded and smiled.
The crowd was very noisy. Some of them were talking in twos and threes, while others were waiting in their stomachs. There were also some old friends who had not seen each other for many years who had met today. They greeted each other, and there were also old enemies who had met again. They were very jealous.
There was a hubbub of voices. There were no less than a thousand people gathered here.
However, none of these thousand people had stepped onto the stone steps that led to the Ziwei Academy.
Gong Jiudong stared at Gai Yin and said, "You must be wondering why no one went up the stone steps."
Gai Yin nodded and said, "Yes."
"Because everyone here is waiting for the people from the academy to come out and tell them about the relevant matters. Only after the people from the academy come out and announce the relevant matters can they step onto the stone stairs." Gong Jiudong explained to Gai Yin.
Gai Yin nodded after understanding, but he sighed softly, "It is really troublesome."
Gong Jiudong heard Gai Yin's complaint and smiled, "This is to prevent irrelevant people and unnecessary people from entering Ziwei Academy."
"I understand, and I understand." Gai Yin nodded.
They continued to talk. At this moment, an old man approached Gai Yin.
The old man stared at Gai Yin for a long time before smiling.
Gai Yin did not understand why the old man had taken a fancy to him, so he nodded politely.
Gong Jiudong also saw the old man and exclaimed, "He... Isn't he the old man who just drove the car?"
Gai Yin paused and carefully looked at it. Then he recalled it and nodded, saying, "It's true."
The voice that he had received earlier was full of confidence. No one had expected it. It was actually an old man. However, when he saw the back of the old man and the other side of the voice, Gai Yin almost couldn't recognize the person standing in front of him.
The old man smiled and nodded his head.
Gai Yin knew that this old man's master seemed to be Zhu Yongtang's enemy. He felt that this old man was here to find Zhu Yongtang, so he gave in slightly.
However, the old man didn't look directly at Zhu Yongtang. Instead, he looked at Gai Yin.
Gai Yin was stunned. He asked, "Old mister, what's the matter?"
The old man nodded his head once again.
Gai Yin said with a smile. "Then say it."
The old man took out a jade bottle. This jade bottle was green like jade. Without looking at it, Gai Yin knew it was a jade bottle. It was a jade bottle. There must be a high quality pill inside.
However, Gai Yin was puzzled. Why would the old man give him a jade bottle?
Gai Yin didn't reach out to take the jade bottle. Instead, he shook his head. "Old mister, if you have something to say, say it. Don't delay. We don't know each other."
The old man nodded and finally spoke, "Indeed, we don't know each other."
"Then what are you doing?"
"[This is my young master's little token of appreciation, please accept it " The old man seemed to be extremely respectful as he spoke.
Gai Yin was stunned. He shook his head again and smiled. "What do you mean? Since you don't know him, why do you want to give him a token of appreciation?"
The old man smiled. He felt that Gai Yin didn't accept the jade bottle because he didn't know what it contained. Therefore, he said, "Young Master, there are ten Grand Xuan Yellow Pills in this jade bottle."
Gai Yin was still stunned, not saying anything.
This time, it was Gong Jiudong who spoke.
"Wow, what a generous offer. It's actually ten Grand Xuan Yellow Pills." Gong Jiudong stretched out her hand, taking the jade bottle for Gai Yin.
Gai Yin, however, was enraged. He glared at Gong Jiudong and shouted, "Gong Jiudong, what do you mean?"
Gong Jiudong saw that she was angry and could not help but be shocked. She quickly returned the jade bottle.
But the old man did not accept the jade bottle in Gong Jiudong's hands.
The old man smiled, "How can the gift that you received be returned?"
Gong Jiudong was extremely helpless and she said in a low voice, "While this Grand Xuan Yellow Pill is ordinary, it is extremely difficult to refine. Moreover, its effects are superb. When the restriction power within one's body is exhausted, a Grand Xuan Yellow Pill will be able to recover 80% of the restriction power."
"Oh?" Gai Yin merely snorted.
"Just accept it. After all, it's someone else's goodwill." Gong Jiudong consoled Gai Yin.
Gai Yin smiled helplessly. "Do you know what these ten pills represent?"
"What can they represent?" Gong Jiudong did not know much.
Gai Yin, on the other hand, knew. He said, "This is the service fee. He gave you the pills. He will definitely make you work for him. I, Gai Yin, never do things for others, so I can't possibly accept this medicinal pill. "
Gong Jiudong was stunned and thought about it carefully. That was true. After all, there was no free lunch in the world, so she pushed the jade bottle to the old man again.
After the old man heard the conversation between the two of them, he laughed and shook his head. He said, "Both of you, my family's young master never asks people to do things. This is his intention."
When Gong Jiudong heard this, she snorted and laughed, "You must be joking. Although these ten Grand Xuan Yellow Pills are not some rare treasures, they should still be worth something. There is no free lunch in this world. You must have something for us to do."
After hearing these words, the old man did not continue hiding anything as he said, "There is indeed nothing major. Actually, it is not a small matter either. All you need to do is move your feet."
"Move your feet? What do you mean?" Gong Jiudong did not understand.
The old man stared at Zhu Yongtang and said, "That is my young master's enemy. My young master wants you to stay away from him, so he sent you the pills to inform you."
Gai Yin finally understood. So this was the reason why the old man sent the pills. He was surprised. There was actually such a thing as a gift to keep a person away from him.
Gong Jiudong was also extremely embarrassed. She glared at the old man and shook her head.
The old man saw that Gai Yin and Gong Jiudong did not have any intention of leaving Zhu Yongtang. He only smiled and said, "You two must think it through. If you accept this jade bottle, it means that you have no relationship with Zhu Yongtang. If you refuse, then say that you are going to suffer together with Zhu Yongtang."
Gai Yin slightly narrowed his eyes and shook his head with a snort. He said, "What a good plan to separate from each other."
"No, it is not to sow discord. It's a kind advice." The old man said softly.
Gai Yin stared at the jade bottle in Gong Jiudong's hand and placed the jade bottle on the ground. He smiled and said. "Your young master is really naive. Do you think a bottle of pills can get rid of me?"
"Oh, young master, a few steps. It's just a few steps. What else do you want? " The old man snorted. He felt that Gai Yin was too arrogant. Such a person was not worth talking about.
Gai Yin answered the old man truthfully, "One of your young master's arms."
"Oh, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?" The old man's face finally darkened, and he let out a cold snort.
Gai Yin waved his hand, and with an indifferent expression, he said, "Whatever. I can eat any kind of wine, but my favorite food is tea."
"Good boy, you will regret it." The elder said coldly. He then picked up the jade bottle on the ground and was about to leave.
However, at this time, a dignified voice sounded. It shouted, "How can the gift that was sent out be taken back? Since you aren't taking it, then throw it away."
When the old man heard the order, he quickly nodded his head and threw away the jade bottle in his hand.
Zhu Yongtang had witnessed everything that had just happened, but he didn't know who the hidden enemy was.
Therefore, he took the initiative to stand out and shout at the old man. "Hey, who are you exactly? Don't hide. I, Zhu Yongtang, am a man who knows nothing. Do you dare to take the initiative to stand out?"
The old man didn't look back, as if he didn't intend to tell Zhu Yongtang.
Zhu Yongtang felt extremely helpless. He sighed and walked to Gai Yin's side. He said, "Mr. Gai Yin,i'm really sorry. I didn't expect that you would be involved in this matter."
Gai Yin waved his hand and said with a smile. "It's fine. It's just a small matter. You have to be careful. I can feel the power of that person."
"Oh..." Zhu Yongtang paused. He thought for a long time and shook his head. "I don't remember offending a very powerful person."
Gai Yin said, "It should be your former enemy, but he is back now."
"Huh? Is that so? I did have some enemies when I was in Ziwei Academy, but I don't remember who they were. Today is your master's birthday, and all of your disciples will be back. They should be your enemies in the past."
"Didn't we meet last year?" Gai Yin asked.
"No. Maybe he came back after a few years." Zhu Yongtang analyzed.
"Alright." Gai Yin only smiled.
At this moment, the gate of Ziwei Academy finally opened.
Five pretty girls walked out of the gate. The girl in the middle stood out and shouted:
"Everyone here is here to attend Senior Ren's birthday banquet, right? According to the rules of the past years, is there anyone who doesn't understand?"
There was a commotion in the crowd. After a moment of discussion, the noise finally quieted down.
When the five women saw that everyone had taken the initiative to calm down, they continued, "Alright, let's not waste everyone's time. As for the birthday celebration of Senior Ren's former disciple, please step onto the stone stairs in succession and sincerely walk to the door. We will arrange for all of you to pay your respects to your teacher."
Following this voice, many people began to walk out of the crowd. These people were Ren Daoqing's former disciples, and they all stepped onto the stone steps one by one.
Zhu Yongtang saw that everyone was walking towards the stone steps. He also told Gai Yin, "Mr. Gai Yin, it's my turn to go."
Gai Yin nodded and smiled. "Okay, see you in Ziwei Academy."
Zhu Yongtang nodded his head and changed his direction towards the stone steps.
Looking at the long line of people on the stone steps, Gai Yin sighed and said, "What a respectable master. So many disciples have returned to celebrate the birthday of our master."
Gong Jiudong heard Gai Yin's emotional sigh and said with a smile, He is indeed a highly respected master." Ren Daoqing is the most senior elder in Ziwei Academy. He has also taught many disciples, and his achievements are also very high. That's why he is respected."
Gai Yin nodded his head.
Gai Yin shook his head as he looked at the dragon-like congratulatory team.
Looking from the front of the queue, Gai Yin was looking from afar.
Finally, Gai Yin's eyes stopped. He saw a familiar back. That's right, that person was Yuu Zifei.
