Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 119 The war has truly begun
Because he secretly agreed with this matter, and from Feng Yingying's attitude, Dan Zhuhe also saw that even if he betrayed or defected, the children of the aristocratic families would still treat him with undisguised contempt and disdain.

On the contrary, Zhong Cang, as their enemy, was the one they respected the most. This made him even more uncomfortable and angry.

"When I was a child from a poor family, I was despised by you. Now that I have taken refuge with you, I am still despised and belittled. My refuge with you has been in vain!"

He was feeling embarrassed and angry, and Zhong Cang's next words made him lose his defense.

"Your surrender isn't in vain. As enemies, they're still somewhat wary of you and think you're worth winning over. After surrendering, you become a dog. And if you're a dog, you're an obedient one. Naturally, there's no need to waste resources feeding it. After all, feeding good resources to a dog is a waste."

"So, your choice is not without any benefits—for the aristocratic families, you have made their lives much easier and saved a lot of resources."

The one who spoke was Zhong Cang.

Having used the remains of the Sand Sea to peek into some of his thoughts, and having witnessed with his own eyes that the person he respected, Mo Shuyu, had a grudge against him, Zhong Cang naturally didn't mind stabbing him in the heart a few more times in this situation.

"Assholes, how dare you insult me..."

Because Feng Yingying cursed Zhong Cang so vulgarly and stabbed him so fiercely, Dan Zhuhe was extremely angry.

He was so angry that he even wanted to take action.

However, just as his magic power was raised, Feng Yingying walked forward with a smile.

"Are you planning to attack me and hit the direct descendants of the Feng family? If you have the guts, I'll stand right here and take action."

"And I, my Frost Family, also want to know who gave you the courage to attack us."

"..."

Looking at Feng Yingying and Shuang Lingxue standing side by side like two door gods, as well as Luo Bende, Mo Shuyu, Du Kui... who made no secret of their readiness to take action... Dan Zhuhe finally did not dare to make a move.

On the day he surrendered to the aristocratic family, no matter how many excuses he found, he had completely lost his spirit and even lost the protection of the king's line.

In this situation, if he attacks the direct descendants of the aristocratic families, he will be enemies all over the world.

As someone who could even betray and surrender, he naturally didn't have the courage to make everyone his enemy.

"Humph, I won't argue with you."

After trying to save his dignity, he walked away.

However, even after he left, Feng Yingying did not let him go.

"Hehe, Brother Zhong Cang, don't you think he looks like a dog?"

"..."

These words made Dan Zhuhe pause for a moment, but in the end, he still did not turn his head.

His departure also brought this matter to an end in a whimper.

However, after making Dan Zhuhe angry and run away, Feng Yingying did not look happy at all. She restrained the provocative smile on her face and came to Zhong Cang immediately to comfort him.

"Brother Zhong Cang, you don't have to care about what he says. We..."

She wanted to comfort Zhong Cang, but unfortunately, the dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon. This "truth" had been repeated for two thousand years in her previous life, and in this era, it had been repeated for even longer.

Therefore, she had no idea how to comfort Zhong Cang, and this made her so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.

In the end, it was Zhong Cang who comforted her.

"Okay, don't worry. I won't be bothered by what the enemy says."

Zhong Cang's mind was indeed not confused, and the reason why he was not confused was not only because he was not disturbed by the words of the enemy.

Moreover, some theories and ideas in this world gave him some confidence to unravel the "truth" that had been circulating for thousands of years.

Feng Yingying, Shuang Lingxue and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they found out that Zhong Cang really didn't care.

At the same time, because of this incident, Mo Shuyu also looked at Feng Yingying differently.

"You actually managed to piss that bastard off like that. Well done..."

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Shuyu, who felt a little bit avenged, finally spoke to Feng Yingying: "If you have any questions or troubles in the future, you can come to me."

Mo Shuyu said this because he wanted to repay Feng Yingying with teaching and help.

But soon, a scene that left him stunned appeared.

After hearing his words, Feng Yingying's expression immediately brightened.

"Teacher Mo Shuyu, is what you said true?"

"Of course, I won't go back on my promise." Mo Shuyu didn't realize the trouble at this time.

Then, she found that as soon as she made the promise, Feng Yingying immediately hugged her arm in a fawning manner. Afterwards, she glanced at Zhong Cang first, and before Zhong Cang looked back, she said shyly and embarrassedly: "Then teacher, if brother Zhong Cang bullies me, can you also help me to seek justice?"

"Forehead……"

"..."

Feng Yingying's words immediately made Mo Shuyu paralyzed. The help she mentioned included teaching on Taoism and helping her out when she was bullied, but it definitely did not include interfering with her emotions.

Especially when she noticed that Shuang Lingxue, Qi Wei, and Yaxin all looked at her after Feng Yingying finished speaking, she felt an even greater headache.

"boom!"

After hitting Feng Yingying hard and glaring at the innocent Zhong Cang, Mo Shuyu said angrily:
"Don't involve me in your relationship problems."

In the end, Mo Shuyu did not agree to this matter, which made Qi Wei relieved.

However, her heart fell, but Shuang Lingxue did not. She kept a calm look in her eyes, knowing very well how important Teacher Mo Shuyu was to Zhong Cang, and she also understood Zhong Cang's gratitude towards Mo Shuyu.

Therefore, she knew that after this incident, Feng Yingying was no longer excluded from the core circle.

"With Teacher Mo Shuyu as a buffer, and the fact that she has never done anything to harm Zhong Cang's interests, she will definitely be accepted by Brother Zhong Cang... She actually seized this opportunity. The sister of the Feng family is really amazing."

She was smiling peacefully. Feng Yingying, after being scolded by Teacher Mo Shuyu, was not annoyed, but looked at Zhong Cang and Shuang Lingxue with a playful smile.

When she looked at Zhong Cang, she smiled like a spoiled young lady: "Humph, I have someone above me now. If you bully me again, someone will stand up for me."

Feng Yingying hugged Mo Shuyu's arm affectionately and spoke to him in a coquettish tone. Such a style did not make Zhong Cangsheng angry. Instead, it made him feel as if he had a willful sister.

"Don't talk nonsense, I never bullied you..."

When talking to Zhong Cang, she smiled coquettishly, but when facing Shuang Lingxue, her attitude was different.

While Zhong Cang wasn't paying attention, she opened her mouth slightly without making any sound, but Shuang Lingxue understood the meaning of her lip language:
'Now the war truly begins.'

"Shh!"

Facing Feng Yingying's provocation, Shuang Lingxue didn't say anything, nor did her expression change obviously. She was elegant and gentle, and just opened the folding fan in her hand to slightly cover her face.

……

Zhong Cang did not notice the open and secret fights among the girls. At this moment, he was walking towards the first-year students' position. While walking, he secretly asked Robende about the grudge between Mo Shuyu and Dan Zhuhe.

Robbende basically answered every question Zhong Cang asked, and as a result, Zhong Cang quickly understood the whole story.

A very cliché thing.

The teachers and leaders in the Taoist academy are also aware of the suppression of the Taoist academy by the aristocratic families and major sects.

At the same time, when the Taoist temple was first built, it was led by the king and a lot of resources were taken from the palace. At that time, the master of Xuehu Taoist Temple had some good things in his hands.

In order to deal with the crisis, several teachers in power in the Taoist Palace at that time concentrated resources on Mo Shuyu and Dan Zhuhe, and focused on training these two poor disciples in order to make them surpass the children of aristocratic families.

This approach was quite effective in the first three years.

Mo Shuyu and Dan Zhuhe joined forces and fought the children of the aristocratic families on equal terms.

But in the fourth year, an accident occurred. Dan Zhuhe, into whom the Taoist Academy had poured a lot of resources, was turned against the government.

He was instigated to rebel during the most crucial assessment. His betrayal left Mo Shuyu as the only support for the poor family in the Taoist academy.

A single tree cannot support the enemy. In the end, the poor family was defeated miserably, and the positions of the deans of several Taoist academies were taken away.

Moreover, this incident dealt a heavy blow to Dan Zhuhe's master, Dan Zhuzi, the then president of Dandao Academy.

His heart of Taoism was broken, and he felt ashamed to face people, so he died decades earlier.

Dan Zhuzi was a skilled alchemist and was very kind to Mo Shuyu. When she first started practicing, he provided her with many resources for cultivation.

In this situation, his death was naturally a huge blow to Mo Shuyu. In addition, he suffered a crushing defeat in the Taoist temple duel and was subsequently ridiculed by his opponent at the time. This incident became a hidden demon in Mo Shuyu's heart.

After understanding the whole story, Zhong Cang knew why Mo Shuyu was so resentful towards Dan Zhuhe. At the same time, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Alchemy... If it's a duel in this area, perhaps I can resolve Teacher Mo Shuyu's worries in advance..."

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang recalled his knowledge of alchemy, and then a confident smile appeared on his face.
