Chapter 268 – Sect master
The city government of Cloud City is responsible for maintaining the city\'s appearance. They have heard that there was a fight on Lanling Street, so they immediately sent officials and many skilled craftsmen to repair the damaged street and replace the glass windows of the embassies on both sides of the street.
Apart from a few shops, the embassies of various countries are located on both sides of Lanling Street. There are often fights here, usually involving the envoys of weaker countries. Occasionally, envoys from stronger countries also get into fights. The officials of the city government are used to repairing the street at any time.
The court of Da Qin also allocates a large sum of money every year specifically for repairing Lanling Street.
At this moment, a fruit peel hit the head of the city government official. He looked up and saw a glamorous woman with a hairpin in her hair smiling at him from the second floor of the embassy of Da Xia.
The woman had fair skin and revealing clothing. She wore a long dress with a slit that went from her chest to her navel, and another shocking slit from her thighs to the hem of the dress.
Even the spiritualists from the embassy of Da Xia were attracted by this woman and couldn\'t help but steal glances at her.
The city government official knew that this woman was not easy to deal with. She was the envoy of Da Xia, named Xia Mengjue, a famous seductress on Lanling Street who wished for chaos in the world. He quickly bowed and dared not look at her.
Xia Mengjue smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong, there\'s no need to repair it. It will be broken again soon."
The city government official was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that, madam?"
Xia Mengjue threw another fruit peel into his arms and laughed, "The scholars from Jiange said that they will come for revenge. Jiange scholars will come to fight again soon. The envoy of Yuanshuo is also waiting."
The city government official was surprised and asked, "Are the envoys of weaker countries so audacious?"
"They are indeed audacious!" Xia Mengjue threw another fruit peel and laughed.
The city government official was amused by her laughter and quickly regained his composure. When he saw the fruit peel in his arms, he saw words written on it: "Come to my room tonight."
The city government official\'s heart was in turmoil, and he quickly led his subordinates away. He could still hear Xia Mengjue\'s laughter from behind, which was incredibly seductive.
"This seductress is formidable!" the city government official thought.
Su Yun returned to the embassy of Yuanshuo with excitement and put down the belongings of the scholars from Da Qin. He asked Ying Ying, "How much can we sell these for? Will it be enough for the embassy\'s expenses for a few days?"
Ying Ying, who had a photographic memory and used to find books for scholars in the Tian Dao Academy, carefully inquired about the prices of goods in Cloud City on their way here. After checking, she said, "The valuable items here are the three spiritual treasures. Although the prices in Da Qin are high, the prices of spiritual treasures are not. Each spiritual treasure is about twenty Qinghong coins. The spiritual treasures of the scholars from Jiange should be more expensive, but they won\'t exceed fifty Qinghong coins."
Su Yun was puzzled and asked, "I remember that the spiritual treasures from Yuanshuo are worth a hundred Qinghong coins each, right? If they are refined by scholars from the Tian Dao Academy, then three to five hundred Qinghong coins for each spiritual treasure is possible. Didn\'t you say that the prices here are seven times higher than in Yuanshuo? Why are the spiritual treasures so cheap?"
Ying Ying said, "I heard that the reason why the spiritual weapons in Da Qin are cheap is because they have found new materials for refining spiritual weapons. These materials are much cheaper than Qinghong coins. The reason why the spiritual weapons in Yuanshuo are expensive is because they are refined using Qinghong coins. Qinghong coins are expensive, so the spiritual weapons are naturally expensive."
"They changed the materials for refining weapons?" Su Yun pondered.
One of the main reasons why Yuanshuo was able to dominate the world was because it had a large amount of Qinghong coins, while there were fewer Qinghong coins overseas.
Every year, a large number of Qinghong coins were transported to Yuanshuo from all over the world due to trade.
If Da Qin had found other materials that could replace Qinghong coins, then Yuanshuo would suddenly lose an advantage and even become a disadvantage.
Ying Ying brought one of the spiritual treasures and used her own vitality to make the sword float in the air. She said, "Qinghong coins are suitable for refining spiritual weapons because this metal can accommodate vitality to a great extent. When spiritualists activate the inscriptions in the spiritual weapons, there is less resistance. I heard that there is an academy in Jiange that specializes in researching materials that can replace Qinghong coins."
Su Yun nodded lightly and said with a serious expression, "There are still many things that Yuanshuo needs to learn from Da Qin. The scholars who came this time have a long way to go."
Ying Ying said, "There are only three of us in the embassy, so we don\'t spend much money. But the scholars may spend more money on their studies. They need to buy various things when they enroll. There are twenty scholars. The money we get from selling these spiritual treasures may not be enough..."
Su Yun felt even more pressure and said with concern, "I will work harder."
He continued to cultivate, activating the Hongluo Furnace and igniting the inscriptions on the cliffs of Liyuan on the Liyuan Abyss. His physical body was constantly improving.
.
Before long, a voice came from outside, saying, "I heard that a new envoy from Yuanshuo has arrived, with strong cultivation, and has been bullying the disciples of Jiange. I have come to seek advice today!"
Su Yun stood up and walked outside, thinking, "I hope more business comes."
After a while, someone shouted, "Good timing!"
Then there was a loud bang, and when Ying Ying looked over, she saw Su Yun transforming into nine identical figures of himself. Each figure had nine heads and deeply buried one of the disciples of Jiange in the ground!
"Su Scholar had to use the Nine-Headed Willow Body. This Jiange disciple is quite skilled!" Ying Ying exclaimed.
"Boom!"
Another loud noise came, and a person flew out. The wall of the embassy of Da Xia on the opposite side of the street collapsed, followed by another loud noise, causing the embassies on both sides of the street to shake.
Ying Ying looked out and saw that Su Yun, in his Nine-Headed Willow form, dug out the disciples from the ground and gathered them together. He was stripping their clothes and searching for money.
The city government official of Da Qin and the spiritualists stood on the side of the street, watching without intervening.
After a while, Su Yun dispersed the Nine-Headed Willow form and returned to the embassy of Yuanshuo with the belongings. He waved his hand and said, "Come again!"
Jiange.
Ye Luo and Xing Jiangmu frowned and followed several Jiange experts to the Saint\'s Pavilion where the sect master was.
The current sect master of Jiange was the Saint of Da Qin, whose strength was unfathomable. Jiange had many talented disciples.
Ye Luo and the others faced many difficulties when they entered Jiange this time. Even if they used money to bribe, Bai Yuelou, Li Muge, and the other twenty scholars were unable to enter.
What embarrassed them the most was that Jiange directly assessed these twenty scholars from the Tian Dao Academy and declared them unqualified. They couldn\'t even pass the lowest level of the Jiange examination.
The twenty scholars from the Tian Dao Academy felt desperate. Even though they were considered outstanding in Yuanshuo, they couldn\'t pass the Jiange examination.
Because the knowledge assessed by Jiange was something they had never seen before!
For Jiange, it was only a basic examination, but for them, it was like an ancient book!
They even felt a sense of despair, thinking that the knowledge they had learned was useless, and the inheritance of Yuanshuo was useless!
Ye Luo had to take out the letter from Qiu Shuijing and first meet the several scholars from Da Qin mentioned by Qiu Shuijing. During his study in Da Qin, Qiu Shuijing had a close relationship with these scholars and often explored knowledge together.
These scholars later held high positions in Jiange and their words carried weight. After reading Qiu Shuijing\'s letter, they asked Ye Luo to accompany them to meet the sect master of Jiange.
Just then, they saw many Jiange disciples rushing out with great anger, shouting, "Teach those barbarians from Yuanshuo a lesson!"
Ye Luo was taken aback and thought, "Could it be that Wutong has caused trouble?"
Without thinking too much, he followed the Jiange experts to meet the sect master.
After reading Qiu Shuijing\'s personal letter, the sect master of Jiange said, "The scholars from Yuanshuo are not dull or barbaric. They just haven\'t learned the knowledge of Jiange. Yuanshuo is only poor and weak, not lacking in talented scholars. Jiange is a place for studying knowledge, not for national disputes or ethnic hatred. Since you gentlemen have come to plead, then let these scholars from Yuanshuo enroll."
Ye Luo and Xing Jiangmu quickly expressed their gratitude. Ye Luo bowed and said, "Yuanshuo is willing to donate several buildings to Jiange."
The sect master of Jiange smiled and said, "There\'s no need for that. I only have one request, and that is to let the historian of Yuanshuo\'s External Affairs Bureau come to Jiange as a teacher and conduct research and teaching in Jiange. Jiange is willing to pay a high salary!"
Ye Luo and Xing Jiangmu were stunned.
Xing Jiangmu, who looked like he was about to die, trembled and said, "Does the sect master know me? But my abilities..."
"It\'s not you."
The sect master of Jiange shook his head and smiled, "It\'s the historian of Yuanshuo, Su Shao Shi, who has beaten countless Jiange disciples and stripped them of their clothes."
This sect master of Jiange was quite young. He looked at Ye Luo and smiled, "If you can make Su Shao Shi come to Jiange to teach, the twenty scholars from Yuanshuo can go to any academy they want for further studies!"
Ye Luo was stunned and then realized that it was a good thing for him.
"You two should go and handle the enrollment first."
The sect master of Jiange, Yue Liuxi, wrote an admission letter and handed it to Ye Luo, saying, "After you return, please ask Su Shao Shi to come here tomorrow morning."
Ye Luo took his leave and walked out of the Saint\'s Pavilion with Xing Jiangmu. They found many scholars from Yuanshuo, and they saw many Jiange disciples rushing out with great momentum, shouting, "The barbarians from Yuanshuo are lawless!"
Ye Luo looked at those scholars and saw that some of them had disheveled clothes and stood with their arms crossed, obediently standing there.
"That guy named Su is too much!"
"He doesn\'t even show respect!"
Xing Jiangmu said, "I\'ll go and find out! I know a few scholars from Da Qin. They have fought with me!"
He went to inquire and came back with a shocked expression on his face, saying, "They said that the new historian from Yuanshuo is more powerful than me. He has beaten countless Jiange disciples and even stripped their clothes."
Ye Luo and the others were shocked. Bai Yuelou quickly asked, "Did he strip the clothes of the senior sisters from Jiange as well?"
"He did."
Xing Jiangmu honestly said, "They were immobilized and then stripped their clothes in the street, all of which were carried back to the embassy."
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone\'s faces, he quickly added, "I mean, their clothes were carried back to the embassy!"
Li Muge breathed a sigh of relief and admired, "I knew Brother Su wasn\'t a lecher."
These twenty scholars from the Tian Dao Academy were previously discouraged and felt that everything they had learned in their lives was useless, and the knowledge and inheritance of Yuanshuo were useless. They felt despair and saw their beliefs and ideals collapse.
Now, when they heard about Su Yun\'s deeds, a vigorous spirit rose within them.
Ye Luo smiled and said, "Just now, the sect master of Jiange told me that he wants Su Shao Shi to come to Jiange as a teacher."
Bai Yuelou, Li Muge, and the others were immediately overjoyed, and their despair and gloom disappeared.
Embassy of Yuanshuo.
Su Yun brought back more belongings. Inside the embassy, Ying Ying led a group of little monsters to categorize and organize the clothes and accessories, as well as the spiritual treasures.
The Suan Ni paperweight spat out a piece of paper, and the little brush monster flew on the paper, recording the value of these belongings.
Su Yun sat in front of the collapsed embassy gate, propping up his cheek and waited for a while. He thought, "There probably won\'t be anyone coming..."
At this moment, a familiar figure walked over and bowed, saying, "Bu Qiurong pays respects to the sect master."
