Chapter 132: Killing Two Birds With One Stone

Yi Qianmo was a bit surprised by how the Mansion Master was handled. Although he is only eighteen years old, his mind is much more mature than most people, and with the memories of his ancestors, he understood the deeper meaning after just a moment of thought.

He certainly does not oppose this outcome; he has never liked Yu Mou. Although he doesn’t care about the position of Minister Professor at all.

The thought of replacing Yu Mou and seeing him struggle brings him great joy deep inside.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, the Old Pavilion Lord said, "Aren’t you going to thank the Mansion Master?"

"Don’t rush to thank him yet!"

The Mansion Master suddenly interrupted, "Since you have become the Academy’s Minister Professor, you must return the sword!"

"Hmm."

Yi Qianmo frowned, at that moment, he suddenly understood another meaning of the Mansion Master standing on his side just now.

Everything that happened earlier was probably a preparation for this matter. After all, the Mansion Master had just sold Yu Mou for him, such a big favor, he couldn’t just give nothing in return, right?

Unfortunately, Yi Qianmo would not fall into this trap; not to mention a mere position of Minister Professor, even if the Mansion Master offered to be his subordinate, he would not hand over Repel Evil.

Seeing his expression, Minister Professor Zhou realized it wasn’t good and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Minister Professor Yi is resolute, and his spiritual power is pure; this sword in his hands will not…"

But the Mansion Master directly interrupted him, saying, "Minister Professor Zhou does not need to say more; the sword must be returned. However, the Academy will not take this sword away. Once he has enough skill to control the sword’s evil nature, I will naturally return it to him!"

But Yi Qianmo didn’t believe it at all; he knew the power of Repel Evil. Someone like the Mansion Master, at the Golden Core Stage, would definitely be very interested. If Repel Evil was stolen, he would have no way to deal with it for now.

"How about this, the sword will be kept by me for now; when he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, I will return the sword to him. What do you think, Mansion Master?"

The Old Pavilion Lord spoke.

"Then let’s do it this way."

The Mansion Master nodded.

The Old Pavilion Lord immediately looked at Yi Qianmo, hesitated for a moment, and Yi Qianmo handed the Repel Evil Sword to the Old Pavilion Lord. He did not trust the Old Pavilion Lord’s character, after all, it was their first meeting, and he didn’t know if he was good or bad.

But giving it to the Old Pavilion Lord increased his chances of getting it back; if he gave it to the Mansion Master, he might never get it back before he broke through to the Golden Core Stage.

And this was already the best way to handle it. If things got really bad, he would have to give up everything he obtained, and he might even be directly suppressed.

The Old Pavilion Lord tucked away the sword and said, "When you break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, I will return the sword to you. Work hard at your training."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mansion Master vanished from the hall.

After everyone bowed, they quickly approached Yi Qianmo to get close to him, but Yi Qianmo did not return their friendliness; he stood there with a cold face and said nothing.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Su Muyu stepped forward to reassure everyone, and only then did a group of Minister Professors leave the great hall.

Wang Qiang and Yu Mou were the first to leave, but just as they reached the doorway, Yi Qianmo shouted, "Stop!"

Both of them looked unhappy, but they still came to a halt. Yu Mou didn’t dare to say a word; he wasn’t even a Minister Professor anymore, so he didn’t want to say anything more.

"What else do you want?"

Wang Qiang tried to stay calm, but he was very angry.

His nephew had been killed by Yi Qianmo, yet Yi Qianmo had faced no consequences and had become the Deputy Pavilion Lord of Pill Pavilion and a Minister Professor at the academy.

How could he show his face after that?

Moreover, he and Yi Qianmo had a deep-seated grudge that seemed almost impossible to resolve.

"Even though I killed your nephew,…"

Yi Qianmo smiled and said, "Don’t you want to know why he suddenly came out of hiding to trouble a newcomer like me?"

Wang Qiang was startled and quickly looked at Yu Mou.

But Yu Mou shook his head and shouted angrily, "You little beast, don’t make false accusations!"

"Hmm!"

Yi Qianmo, with a serious expression, turned his gaze to Zhou Yumei and asked, "May I ask, what is the punishment for Deacon insulting Minister Professor?"

Zhou Yumei was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Yi Qianmo was indeed relentless, and coldly said, "Call someone! For Yu Mou insulting Minister Professor, he will be punished with one hundred strikes!"

"You!!!"

Yu Mou’s face turned pale.

He had already been struck before, and his wounds were not fully healed yet. Even though he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, a strike would still be very painful.

But he looked at Yi Qianmo and couldn’t say a word. If he were still the Minister Professor, scolding Yi Qianmo as a little beast would not have mattered at all, but now he had been lowered to Deacon.

If he scolded Yi Qianmo a few more times, he might face an extra hundred strokes. At this moment, Yu Mou looked at Yi Qianmo, wishing he could tear him to pieces, but he didn’t dare to say a single harsh word.

"I love this! You see that you dislike me, but you can’t do anything about it!"

Seeing that Yu Mou was not taken away, Yi Qianmo boldly spoke up.

Everyone present suddenly realized one thing: the young man in front of them was someone who would take revenge for any grudge.

Wang Qiang clenched his fists, knowing he had been outsmarted, but he could do nothing to Yi Qianmo and turned to walk outside.

"Stop!" Yi Qianmo shouted.

Wang Qiang halted, not looking back, and said, "Spit it out if you have something to say!"

"Don’t you really want to know what’s going on?"

Yi Qianmo asked again.

"Speak!"

Wang Qiang held his patience but wished he could tear Yi Qianmo apart.

"Think about it, who else in the entire Tao School has the power to directly wake up the disciples in seclusion?"

Yi Qianmo said with a smile, "If you want revenge, then shouldn’t you also seek revenge on the person who plotted against Wang Jun?"

Although Wang Qiang was annoyed with Yi Qianmo, he thought of one person: Xu Shiping.

"I have no grievances with Wang Jun. If it weren’t for this person, perhaps he wouldn’t have died; he would still be in seclusion at Tao School!" Yi Qianmo said. "Before you come to me for revenge, you should deal with him first!"

"Yi Qianmo, you have gone too far!"

Zhou Yumei said coldly.

"How could I go too far? After all, I was just clarifying the facts for Deputy Mansion Master Wang, so he would know who to seek revenge against!" Yi Qianmo said with a smile.

Zhou Yumei was speechless, but since Yi Qianmo didn’t mention a name, she felt helpless; after all, Wang Qiang was in charge of his own actions. Whether he wanted to take revenge was his own choice.

After getting his answer, Wang Qiang paused for a moment and then walked straight out of the Punishment Hall.

"What a perfect two birds with one stone!"

Su Muyu stepped closer and said crossly, "You don’t plan to leave the academy in chaos, do you?"

"That’s what they deserve."

Minister Professor Zhou stepped forward and said, "Let’s go back to Pill Pavilion; it’s time for the disciples in the mansion to meet you, the new Deputy Pavilion Lord of Pill Pavilion, and the newly appointed Minister Professor."

Meanwhile, at the top of Tao School.

Xu Shiping sat cross-legged, thinking about what Yi Qianmo had said before, and he couldn’t help but find it amusing, "You want me to step down? You little creature, you really think too highly of yourself; he should have been killed by now."

"He was not killed, but you will die very soon!"

A voice came.

"Who?"

Xu Shiping’s expression changed, and he stood up immediately. When he saw the visitor, his face turned ugly. "Deputy Mansion Master Wang, why… why are you here?"

"You were the one who woke Jun’er from his slumber, weren’t you?" Wang Qiang said coldly.

"I… what are you talking about? How could I…?" Xu Shiping quickly gathered his spiritual power and began to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. "Yi Qianmo must have told you, right? You believe that little beast’s words?"

"Little beast? Ha, he is now the Deputy Pavilion Lord of the Pill Pavilion and a Professor Minister at the Academy!" Wang Qiang replied.

"Deputy Pavilion Lord of the Pill Pavilion! Professor Minister at the Academy!"

Xu Shiping’s eyes widened. "How is this possible!"

"You should go ask him yourself!"

Wang Qiang gave Xu Shiping no chance at all, raising his hand and striking down; Xu Shiping was hit on the forehead and fell on the spot.

"He will soon come to be with you!"

After saying that, Wang Qiang turned and left Tao School.
