Chapter 290

Chapter 290: The Woman in Green!

Whether it was Zhou Qing or Muse, they both knew that the young master Ye before them was serious.

He was not joking!

He truly intended to kill that Manyue.

Zhou Qing’s expression darkened, “Young friend Ye, does this person have to die?”

Ye Tianming glanced at him and smiled, “Senior, do you have someone you care about? If someone threatened the person you cared about most, what would you do?”

Zhou Qing fell silent.

Ye Tianming smiled, “Forget it! I won’t make things difficult for you, Senior.”

With that, he took out the mentor seal the academy had given him and placed it in front of Zhou Qing, “Senior, I’m resigning as mentor.”

After saying that, he stood up, grabbed Zhantai Zhan, and walked away.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing’s expression immediately changed, “Young friend, you……you…….”

But Ye Tianming said nothing more, pulling Zhantai Zhan and heading for the door.

Decisively.

Without the slightest hesitation.

By the time Zhou Qing moved to stop him, he had already taken Zhantai Zhan and vanished into the horizon on his sword.

Zhou Qing stood frozen in place.

Muse was also left completely stunned.

Neither of them had expected that Ye Tianming would leave the moment he said he would, without a shred of hesitation!

He had left both of them utterly dumbfounded.

Yet Ye Tianming did not leave the academy right away. He went to the cesspit, but Manyue was no longer inside.

After asking around, he learned that after he had left, the academy’s people had pulled Manyue out.

Ye Tianming’s expression remained blank as he disappeared from the spot with Zhantai Zhan.

A small courtyard.

“Kill him, I want to kill him!”

A gut-wrenching roar of fury echoed repeatedly through the courtyard.

It was Manyue’s voice.

From childhood to now, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Beside him, an elder said in a low voice, “Young master, rest assured. We have already notified the Demon King. That person will not survive.”

Manyue snarled, “I want them alive. And that woman by his side too, I want her alive……”

Bang bang!

At that moment, a knock suddenly came at the door.

“Who is it!”

Manyue was already in a foul mood, his face full of venom.

The door slowly swung open, and a man appeared before Manyue and the elder.

It was Ye Tianming.

At the sight of him, both Manyue and the elder’s expressions changed drastically. Manyue was just about to say something when he saw Ye Tianming gently press down with his right hand.

Boom!

Manyue and the elder were instantly suppressed and forced to their knees. In the next moment, with two fingers raised in a gesture, a dagger on the table flew straight through both of their throats.

Shhk!

Two bloody heads flew off in an instant.

Ye Tianming walked up to the two of them, quietly removed their storage rings, then placed the storage ring the academy had given him on the table. He stepped back out, and as he left, he carefully closed the door behind him.

A moment later, Zhou Qing and Muse arrived at Manyue’s room. Ye Tianming had killed here, so there was no hiding it from them.

At the sight of the two corpses, Zhou Qing said nothing.

Muse said in a low voice, “This young master Ye…….”

Zhou Qing said quietly, “If he wants to leave, let him go. Having him stay here isn’t necessarily a good thing for us.”

Muse nodded in agreement.

This young master Ye had too ruthless a temperament. Keeping him here any longer would certainly not be good for the academy.

As if thinking of something, Muse asked, “What about the Monastery side?”

After a brief pause, Zhou Qing said, “Looking at his background, he should be no more than a disciple of a disciple of that ‘Ancient God.’ That one’s disciples are not many, but not few either. It’s perfectly normal for a disciple to take on their own disciples. He probably doesn’t carry much weight in that one’s eyes. Otherwise, that one would surely have kept him close for personal cultivation.”

Muse nodded and said nothing more, because she knew that Zhou Qing before her was already angry.

What angered Zhou Qing was not only Manyue’s death, but Ye Tianming’s attitude toward the academy — coming and going as he pleased?

Over the years, what kind of prodigies had the academy not seen?

It was not short of one more!

Zhou Qing said nothing further. He simply glanced at the storage ring Ye Tianming had left on the table, then turned and walked away.

Shortly after, he arrived at a small pavilion, inside which stood a woman dressed in blue.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing, the woman in blue smiled faintly, “Vice Principal Zhou, congratulations on making the right choice.”

After Ye Tianming left the academy with Zhantai Zhan, they arrived at an ancient city at the foot of the academy’s mountain. This was the famous Academy City. Originally there had been no city at the foot of the mountain, but because so many people wanted to join the academy, crowds had gathered at the base of the mountain year after year. Over time, more and more people came, and many ended up settling down there.

As it developed to this day, the population here had grown larger and larger.

Along the way, Ye Tianming turned to look at Zhantai Zhan, who had been silent the whole time, and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Zhantai Zhan looked up at Ye Tianming and said quietly, “If it weren’t for me, we wouldn’t have had to leave there, right?”

Ye Tianming smiled, “You’re blaming yourself over this?”

Zhantai Zhan nodded.

But Ye Tianming shook his head, “This has nothing to do with you. Remember, in my heart, you matter more than anything.”

Zhantai Zhan blinked, “Really?”

Ye Tianming smiled, “How could that be false?”

Zhantai Zhan broke into a smile.

Ye Tianming walked through the streets with Zhantai Zhan.

Where to go?

He hadn’t actually figured that out yet.

“Young master Ye!”

Just then, a voice suddenly came from nearby.

Ye Tianming turned to look, and when he saw who it was, he was somewhat surprised, “It’s you.”

The person was none other than the student from before, Bei Zhaohan.

Bei Zhaohan smiled, “Young master Ye, hello.”

Ye Tianming smiled, “Are you looking for me about something?”

Bei Zhaohan nodded, “Shall we find somewhere else to talk?”

Ye Tianming thought for a moment, then nodded, “Sure.”

Soon, the three of them arrived at a small tavern and sat by the window.

Bei Zhaohan said, “Young master Ye, I already know what happened at the academy. I’ve come to find you this time to invite you to become the Imperial Tutor of our Great Qian Dynasty.”

“The Great Qian Dynasty?”

Ye Tianming was a little puzzled. He had never heard of it.

Bei Zhaohan smiled, “Yes, our Great Qian Dynasty ranks eleventh on the Universal Power Rankings…….”

That ranking was undeniably a bit awkward.

Because the Universal Power Rankings only publicly listed the top ten. Those below that were not particularly well known.

Ye Tianming looked at Bei Zhaohan and simply smiled without saying anything.

Bei Zhaohan took a deep breath, then said, “Young master Ye, I know our Great Qian Dynasty has no right to invite you. But I came anyway. I have nothing of great value to offer, and even if I did, I doubt you would care for it. But I believe young master Ye would certainly be interested in my younger sister.”

Ye Tianming was puzzled, “Your younger sister?”

Bei Zhaohan nodded, “My sister is extraordinarily gifted, and she is now the Empress of our Great Qian Dynasty……You may not believe it, but my sister killed my eldest and second brothers, then brought their heads to force my father to abdicate.”

What the hell?

Ye Tianming was left completely speechless. What kind of move was that?

Bei Zhaohan continued, “After my sister took the throne, she began reforming, and then started talking about taking the path of ‘republicanism’……She also said that in the future she wants to achieve equality among all beings across the entire universe, with no privileged class……”

Hearing Bei Zhaohan’s words, Ye Tianming was genuinely shocked, “Equality among all beings?”

Bei Zhaohan smiled bitterly, “Yes. After witnessing young master Ye’s Law of All Beings, I had a vague feeling that you and my sister might have some common ground to talk about. Of course, my own thought is that my sister is too young. What she’s doing is an extremely, extremely dangerous thing. I hope young master Ye could go be her teacher and perhaps help correct her course.”

Ye Tianming thought for a moment, then said, “Your sister is undoubtedly someone with a very strong vision.”

Bei Zhaohan nodded, “Yes, not only someone with a very strong vision, but also someone of exceptional intelligence. And that is precisely why I’m worried.”

A brilliant mind breeds many ideas, and many ideas bring danger!

Ye Tianming smiled, “You want me to be your sister’s teacher — have you asked your sister about this?”

Bei Zhaohan said, “No. But young master Ye, as long as you’re willing to go, I believe you can absolutely be her teacher.”

Ye Tianming asked, “Why?”

Bei Zhaohan smiled, “My sister has the deepest respect for talent. She has gathered a large group of outstanding people from our Great Qian Dynasty around her. With your abilities, young master Ye, being her teacher would be more than sufficient.”

But Ye Tianming shook his head.

In the Guanxuan Universe, he had already carried out one reform. Honestly speaking, he had no desire to get involved in that kind of thing again.

It was exhausting.

Bei Zhaohan then said, “Young master Ye, your Law of All Beings also speaks of equality among all beings. Your ideals and my sister’s should be the same, right?”

Ye Tianming slowly rose to his feet. He looked at Bei Zhaohan and smiled, “Miss Han, I understand you. But you need to understand that sharing the same grand ideals doesn’t mean one must act together. Besides, I don’t know your sister at all. What do you think?”

Bei Zhaohan immediately understood, “I was being presumptuous.”

Her sister hadn’t even come to invite Ye Tianming herself. If he just showed up like that, what would that look like?

Ye Tianming didn’t actually care about such things. He simply felt that suddenly showing up and declaring he wanted to be someone’s teacher was simply not the right way to go about it.

That wasn’t how one should conduct oneself or handle matters.

Besides, his current goals were the Grand Dao Rankings and a divine seat.

After paying for the drinks, Ye Tianming left with Zhantai Zhan.

After Ye Tianming and Zhantai Zhan departed, Bei Zhaohan immediately took out a sound transmission talisman.

As Ye Tianming and Zhantai Zhan wandered around, the two of them somehow ended up at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

The Immortal Treasure Pavilion!

Seeing that there was an Immortal Treasure Pavilion here too, Ye Tianming shook his head with a smile. This Immortal Treasure Pavilion truly was everywhere!

Ye Tianming turned to Zhantai Zhan and smiled, “Come on, let’s take a look.”

With that, he pulled Zhantai Zhan inside. The moment they entered, they heard a beautiful young woman calling out to a glowing screen, “Friends, friends, today’s grand prize is: one prehistoric ancient dragon hatchling. How much does an ancient dragon egg normally sell for?”

A man beside her immediately said, “30,000 true star core crystals!”

The woman suddenly grew excited, “Today, not 30,000, not 20,000, not 10,000……just 38 — that’s right, just 38 true star core crystals, and buy one get four free, with universe-wide delivery to your door!!”

The man hurriedly said, “We’re losing money, losing money, we’re not making anything at all…….”

The woman suddenly turned emotional, “I, Momo, was born a farmer’s daughter. All I know is that I can lose money on anyone, but never on my friends……Even if it bankrupts me, I will fight for the best deals for my friends…….Bring it out!!”
