King of Glory: Catch All the Female Heroes

Chapter 72 It is a matter of life and death

As soon as Cheng Yaojin and Lian Po entered the Jixia Academy, they found that the atmosphere of the Academy was a bit weird.

Many people gathered around and looked at him with strange eyes.

"Could it be that Zhang Cheng's prestige in Jixia Academy is so terrifying? I just pretended to be his friend. And these students gathered around and saluted me?"

Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but ask Lian Po: "Old buddy, does my brother Zhang Cheng have a high prestige in Jixia Academy?"

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Lian Po couldn't help but pause slightly.

After taking a deep breath, Lian Po smiled at Cheng Yaojin and said, "Yes, Assistant Professor Zhang Cheng has a high reputation in Jixia Academy. We all remember his kindness!"

"By the way, the Three Sages of Jixia are in the meeting room in front. I will take you there."

Cheng Yaojin smiled at Lian Po, then walked away without looking back.

The feeling told Cheng Yaojin that this trip to Jixia Academy would definitely be unforgettable for him.

After watching Cheng Yaojin walk away, the people gathered around and hurriedly walked to Lian Po's side.

"Is this guy Zhang Cheng's friend again? Are they planning to team up to fool us?"

"Zhang Cheng caused us to start school several months late. The three sages of Jixia taught with emotions, and we suffered several times more."

"If it weren't for the three wise men of Jixia ordering us to keep it strictly confidential, I would have arranged for my family to find him and teach him a lesson."

"Alas, not only were we fooled by Zhang Cheng, but the three sages of Jixia were also fooled by Zhang Cheng. If this matter gets out, the reputation of the three sages of Jixia will be greatly reduced."

"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore. Everyone just wait here. The old master will definitely not let Zhang Cheng's cronies off easily."

With a hint of expectation, Cheng Yaojin reached out and pushed open the door of the conference room.

Seeing the three wise men of Jixia in the meeting hall, Cheng Yaojin could not help but speak first: "Three teachers, I have always admired you. It is really a great honor to meet you today."

"By the way, let me introduce myself first. My name is Cheng Yaojin, and I am the Minister of the Hongluo Temple in Heluo. You can call me Xiao Cheng or Xiao Jin."

"This time, I was commissioned by the Empress to come to Jixia Academy to thank the three teachers."

Having said that, Cheng Yaojin took out a large stack of gold notes and respectfully placed them on the wooden table in front of the old master.

"Here is a total of one million gold coins. Please accept them, teachers."

"In addition, Her Majesty has made a promise. In view of the contribution that Jixia Academy has made to the King's Continent and the fact that Jixia Academy has no source of income, we in Heluo will donate 500,000 gold coins to Jixia Academy every year to help it purchase various teaching aids."

The three old masters looked Cheng Yaojin up and down with a hint of doubt.

Because they were successfully fooled by Zhang Cheng before, and Cheng Yaojin revealed that he had a close relationship with Zhang Cheng, the three wise men of Jixia were particularly cautious when facing this huge sum of money that fell from the sky.

They are afraid that they will be fooled again if they are not careful.

"Cheng Yaojin, you said you are the Minister of the Hongluo Temple. Do you have any evidence to prove your identity?"

Cheng Yaojin was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that the three sages of Jixia would be so cautious in doing things.

I came to Jixia Academy this time to express gratitude and give money, but the old master actually asked me to prove my identity.

This person is truly worthy of being a scholar. People who do research are all rigorous.

"Of course I can prove that I'm not a fake. I have both witnesses and physical evidence."

The old man nodded and then asked, "Where are the witnesses and evidence?"

"The witness is in Heluo Chang'an. The people of Chang'an all know that I am Cheng Yaojin, the Minister of the Honglu Temple."

"Heluo Changan? Where is the physical evidence?"

"The physical evidence is also in Heluo Chang'an. I have the badge issued by Her Majesty the Empress as proof. I left in a hurry this time and didn't bring the badge with me."

The three old masters looked at each other, and Zhuang Zhou finally asked, "You said that you came to Jixia Academy on behalf of the Heluo Queen to thank us. I'm a little curious, what are you thanking us for."

When it came to the main business, Cheng Yaojin coughed lightly and instantly perked up.

"Not long ago, Changcheng was attacked by demons. Your school's teaching assistant Zhang Cheng helped Changcheng turn the tide and enabled Changcheng to survive the crisis safely."

"Zhang Cheng!"

After hearing the name Zhang Cheng clearly, the three sages of Jixia stood up almost at the same time.

Mozi even said loudly with some excitement: "This king..."

Before Mozi could finish his words, the old man reached out and covered Mozi's mouth.

The fact that the three wise men of Jixia were deceived and lost the core of the Tower of Babel must never be spread.

If this matter were to spread, the reputation of Jixia Academy and the Three Sages of Jixia would be greatly affected.

The three sages of Jixia lived for hundreds of years, and they would never lose face no matter what.

After taking a deep breath, the old master said to Cheng Yaojin, "Zhang Cheng is a very outstanding young man, and he has been of great help to Jixia Academy. In addition, Zhang Cheng has a strong sense of justice. His help to Changcheng through the crisis is completely within our expectations."

The old man reached out and took the gold note on the table.

This money should be regarded as a small compensation for Zhang Cheng's deception of the three wise men of Jixia.

"By the way, I heard from Lian Po before that you and Zhang Cheng are good friends."

"Yeah!"

Cheng Yaojin wanted to spar with the old master, but he had been worried that he would not have an opportunity to get closer to him. Now the opportunity had come.

"Brother Zhang Cheng and I hit it off right away, and our personalities are exactly the same. When we first met, we both felt that we had met too late. In addition..."

This time, without waiting for Cheng Yaojin to finish his words, the old master gently waved his hand at Cheng Yaojin.

"After you go back, if you see Zhang Cheng, remember to tell him a message for me. The three of us miss him very much in Jixia Academy. If we have the chance, we will definitely go find him."

Cheng Yaojin nodded heavily, then changed the subject and said to the old master: “Master, for the sake of my brother Zhang Cheng, I wonder if I can ask for a favor.”

When the old master nodded gently, Cheng Yaojin quickly said to him: "I want to have a sparring match with you, a sparring match that stops at a certain point. Let's see how big the gap is between me and the king-level masters."

"Discussion?"

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Okay, I haven't stretched my muscles for a long time. Wait a minute, I'll go get my weapon."

"Also, Zhuang Zhou, prepare some life-saving pills."

"Haha, there's no point in stopping there. This time we're going to decide who's better, and whether to live or die!"
