Chapter 42: Kneel and Let Him Kill?
“Brother Xuan, it’s time to eat.”
Ximen the Fatty’s voice called out.
Jiang Taixuan tidied up his things and left the Dojo. Rice and chopsticks were already prepared. Ever since becoming the Field Master, life had been quite good.
Eating fragrant rice along with Foundation Building Demonic Beast meat, Jiang Taixuan felt a small sense of satisfaction in his heart.
“Brother Xuan, today we crippled a Clear Moon Academy Mentor and student. The Academy definitely won’t let us off. Should we run away?” Ximen the Fatty swallowed a mouthful of rice and couldn’t help asking.
Smack!
As soon as the words were spoken, Wu Song stepped forward and slapped him, angrily saying, “What nonsense are you talking? A tiny Clear Moon Academy can scare away our Field Master?”
“Field Master, should I go and wipe out Clear Moon Academy? I guarantee not a single one will be left!” Li Yuanba put down his rice bowl and reached for his big hammer.
Ximen the Fatty’s face changed color, and his whole body trembled. It was too brutal, talking about wiping out entire families at the drop of a hat. Who exactly was the top power in Clear Moon City? Ximen the Fatty felt that this Li Yuanba was far too bold and savage.
“Everyone, just eat your meal properly.” Jiang Taixuan spoke unhappily. “No talking during meals or before sleep. Next time during a meal, if anyone speaks, they’ll be dragged away and hit until smoke comes out!”
Ximen the Fatty immediately shut up and lowered his head to eat furiously.
The three Gods and Demons also closed their mouths and said nothing. They took a bite of rice, put it aside with a look of disgust, and didn’t touch it again. They opened their mouths as if to speak, but the Field Master had just said no talking during meals. They couldn’t disobey, otherwise they’d get beaten.
Jiang Taixuan ate happily, finishing three big bowls in a row. Then he patted his stomach with a satisfied expression. “That felt great.”
“Field Master, we strongly request better food.” Seeing he had finished, Wu Song finally couldn’t hold back. “What kind of rice is this? It’s the lowest grade, without a bit of Primeval Qi.”
“Right, this damages our status!” Li Yuanba chimed in.
Ximen the Fatty was utterly confused. Damn it, you’re eating rice and still complain it has no Primeval Qi? Do you think this rice is all Spiritual Herbs?
“Huh, you wanted rice, and now you have it. Why are you complaining again?” Jiang Taixuan was displeased. They wanted rice, he got it. Now they hadn’t finished it, wasting it was bad enough, but they even complained openly.
Could it be that these three guys knew this rice was given for free and felt it damaged their prestige?
“Field Master, given our status, we should start changing from the basics. This rice, we won’t take any of it. Replace it all with Crystal Rice full of Primeval Qi. For the dishes, aside from Demon Beast meat, get some top-grade medicinal ingredients to use as side dishes…”
Li Guang went on and on, talking excitedly, describing what kind of meals someone of his prestige should eat.
Ximen the Fatty stared wide-eyed. Eating a meal required this much fuss? You’re only at Foundation Building!
Eating Demon Beast meat for dishes was fine, if you can hunt it. But Spiritual Herbs, and demanding top-grade ones? Are you sure you’re not joking?
“Stop, stop.” Jiang Taixuan quickly raised his hand to stop Li Guang, frowning. “According to you, are we also missing a chef?”
“That Ximen dog traitor should have been replaced long ago. What he makes are dishes? It’s just boiled in water until cooked.” Wu Song said with contempt, directly pulling out the Celestial Network. “Look, people with some status eat Crystal Rice. What about us?”
Jiang Taixuan was slightly stunned, feeling extremely annoyed in his heart. This damned Celestial Network, who posted carelessly about the existence of Crystal Rice? These Gods and Demons had high prestige. Being looked down upon by others, of course they wouldn’t feel good.
Ximen the Fatty cried inside. If I weren’t weaker than you, who would cook for you? Eating it is one thing, but you even look down on me!
“Alright, everyone stop talking.” Jiang Taixuan helplessly stopped the Gods and Demons from complaining. “Rice full of Primeval Qi can be arranged. We’ll buy some grain seeds later. For medicinal ingredients, we don’t have top-grade ones for now, so we’ll just pull them from the Herb Field.”
The three Gods and Demons were immediately overjoyed, repeatedly saying, “The Field Master is wise.”
Wise my foot. If I don’t feed you well, how can I have the nerve to order you around later?
Jiang Taixuan complained inwardly, but his face showed no emotion. “However, you’ll have to wait a bit. We’re short-handed. Ximen the Fatty is the Dojo’s Salesman. Cooking is just his side job. If you really want to eat and drink well, find a way to get a chef yourselves.”
The three Gods and Demons simultaneously looked at Ximen the Fatty, their eyes full of threat. They were noble Gods and Demons, how could they possibly hire a chef? This task would ultimately fall on Ximen the Fatty’s shoulders.
Ximen the Fatty didn’t understand, swallowing nervously, his face full of fear.
“Fatty, here are one hundred Gold Coins. Go buy some Crystal Rice grain seeds. Don’t buy too much. Also, get yourself some good clothes. They must be good. You’ve suffered so much, treat yourself. For the rest, buy some snacks.” Jiang Taixuan said.
“Brother Xuan.” Ximen the Fatty’s eyes reddened slightly. He was moved. Brother Xuan was really good to him!
Look at these three powerful figures, they didn’t get any money, but he did. And it was five hundred Gold Coins, to spend as he wished.
Ximen the Fatty instantly forgot about the time he earned one Yuan Coin as a sparring partner, only to have it taken away in the end.
“Fatty, work hard. Brother Xuan won’t treat you poorly.” Jiang Taixuan patted Ximen the Fatty’s shoulder, with a look that said ‘I have high hopes for you’.
Ximen the Fatty nodded heavily. Li Guang took him and headed for Clear Moon City.
They had just crippled a Clear Moon Academy Mentor. If Wu Song went along, it might not be safe. Li Guang, at Foundation Building Peak, was a bit more reliable. As for Li Yuanba, he was still in the intelligence evaluation period.
Wu Song and Li Yuanba returned to the tree. Jiang Taixuan opened the Celestial Network to check information. The news of Yu Qing being crippled had already spread.
“Clear Moon Academy Mentor Yu Qing and talented student Yu Ming, both actually had their cultivation crippled. Who could have done this?”
Jiang Taixuan clicked on the post. Below was a bunch of replies.
“Who is so bold? That’s Clear Moon Academy.”
“Could it be a mistake? In Clear Moon City, someone dared to attack Yu Qing?”
“Could it be some Foundation Building Stage Ancestor made a move?” Tang Qingming from the Wan Yi faction.
“Not known for now. Clear Moon Academy has dispatched the Enforcement Hall. The enforcement team has already set out. Looking at their target, it seems to be towards the Monster Beast Mountains.” Chen Zhonghe from the Chen Family.
“Monster Beast Mountains? If it were Demon Beasts, they would have eaten the person. Could it be that place mentioned in those papers?” Tang Qingming from the Wan Yi faction exclaimed in surprise.
“Could it be true?” an Innate Realm cultivator asked in shock.
“Very likely. I really want to go see. Unfortunately, that’s Clear Moon Academy’s territory. Even Clear Moon Academy disciples can’t usually go there.” Chen Zhonghe from the Chen Family sighed.
“The Enforcement Hall is coming?” Jiang Taixuan stroked his chin, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
“Jiang Taixuan, you lowly servant, come out!” A furious shout rang out, startling Jiang Taixuan inside the Dojo and also alerting the two Gods and Demons.
“Quite fast.” Jiang Taixuan sneered, strode out of the Dojo, and looked coldly ahead.
There were three people: one youth and two middle-aged men. Their faces were full of anger, and their eyes were full of disdain.
“Are you Jiang Taixuan?” one of the middle-aged men stepped forward, looking at him scornfully.
Jiang Taixuan glanced at the three. The anger on their faces had already subsided, replaced by an air of arrogance. He nodded expressionlessly.
“We are from the Clear Moon Academy Enforcement Hall, three squad leaders!” the middle-aged man said proudly. Without waiting for Jiang Taixuan to reply, he suddenly shouted, “How dare you! As a lowly servant, you dared to attack an Academy Mentor. Where are your accomplices? Call them out now and quickly submit to the law!”
Jiang Taixuan was just a useless waste, as everyone in Clear Moon Academy knew. By himself, he couldn’t have crippled the cultivation of an Innate Realm Mentor and a Martial Arts Ninth Stage student. Someone must have helped.
Lowly servant?
Jiang Taixuan gave a light laugh, his gaze turning cold. “You know I have helpers, yet you still came. Are you not afraid to die?”
“What, you dare attack us?” The middle-aged man frowned. The other two also looked cold. “You really dare to betray Clear Moon Academy?”
“Betray?” Jiang Taixuan sneered, a flash of anger in his eyes. “He wanted to kill me, I crippled his cultivation. He brought it upon himself!”
“What a lowly servant. Yu Qing is an Academy Mentor. If he wants to kill you, you should kneel and let him kill!”
The middle-aged man shouted coldly, his eyes full of contempt. “You’re just a dog of the Academy. Since your helpers aren’t coming out, we’ll capture you first and question you back at the Academy!”
“Kneel and let him kill?” A feeling of sorrowful anger flashed in Jiang Taixuan’s heart, followed by an urge to laugh. “Mentor? Servant? Fine, I’ll remember this!”
