Liu Mengchen had actually been eavesdropping outside the door the whole time. When she first heard Meng Chang praising Zheng Zhuang's poems, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

When she heard Zheng Zhuang's story, she was completely stunned. How could there be such a shameless person in the world!

Don't you know what you look like?

Who gave you that confidence?

When I heard that even the teacher couldn't help but kick someone out, I almost laughed. This was the first time I'd ever seen a teacher so dislike someone.

In the past, even if teachers didn't like the visitors, they would still politely see them off.

She agreed and hurriedly ran inside, barely suppressing a laugh.

"Young Master Zheng, please!"

Zheng Zhuang was baffled. Everything was fine just a moment ago, how could things change so suddenly? Was his story not touching enough? Should he make up another one?

But judging from the other party's posture, I probably won't be able to get anything out of them, and stubbornly staying here doesn't suit my style.

Zheng Zhuang could only coldly say "Goodbye" before walking out with Liu Mengchen.

Zheng Zhuang did not get what he wanted. Looking at Liu Mengchen beside him, his eyes lit up. This woman had tried to talk to him earlier but he ignored her. Perhaps he could start with her.

Just as he was about to speak, Liu Mengchen quickly took two steps forward, clearly indicating that she didn't want to talk to him.

Now it was his turn to be frustrated. Woman, you have successfully caught my attention!

However, Zheng Zhuang was not about to give up easily. He deliberately glanced at Liu Mengchen's chest, pretending to have something to say but then stopped himself.

Liu Mengchen didn't notice at first, but gradually sensed something was wrong. She secretly glanced at her chest and asked somewhat awkwardly:

"What are you looking at?"

Upon hearing Liu Mengchen speak, Zheng Zhuang's lips curled slightly. "Little brat! Trying to fight me?"

Zheng Zhuang sighed, feigning disappointment:

"Outsiders all say that Quliang Academy is the premier academy in Cangzhou. I originally thought that the people of the academy, being well-read, would all be broad-minded individuals. But today, I've seen..."

Liu Mengchen detected a hint of sarcasm in his tone and retorted defiantly:

"How was our meeting today?"

Zheng Zhuang revealed a wicked smile:

"Having met you today, I am truly impressed by your magnanimity!"

After saying that, Zheng Zhuang quickly walked away before Liu Mengchen could react.

Liu Mengchen was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red instantly. She quickly covered her chest, but Zheng Zhuang had already walked away. She could only angrily point at his back and couldn't say a word for a long time.

In the end, she could only stomp her feet and curse Zheng Zhuang as a "lecherous scoundrel"!

When Mengchang saw Liu Mengchen return with an angry expression, he was surprised and said:

"Chen'er, what's wrong?"

It would have been better if Meng Chang hadn't asked; once he did, Liu Mengchen immediately felt wronged and said:

"Teacher, that young master Zheng from earlier, he, he..."

Meng Chang's eyes widened instantly. This student was not only his friend's daughter, but also his prized student. How dare that Zheng fellow be so bold!

"What? Did he bully you?"

Liu Mengchen thought to herself that although Zheng Zhuang had teased her verbally, he hadn't actually done anything. She wondered if this counted as bullying.

If we tell the teacher, and the teacher tells my father, given my father's temper, that lecherous fellow will probably suffer a lot.

She was kind-hearted after all, and shook her head:

"They didn't bully me, they were just so infuriating!"

Meng Chang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in deep agreement; that man surnamed Zheng was indeed infuriating.

"Who is the woman he's talking about?" Liu Mengchen asked curiously.

That's how women are. Even if they have no feelings for a man, if that man ignores them and fawns over another woman, they might feel a strange sense of jealousy.

Mentioning the woman in the painting, Meng Chang shuddered. This Zheng fellow was incredibly audacious, daring to covet even that one.

However, Meng Chang also understood that if it weren't for her status, how many men could remain unmoved?

However, he couldn't tell Zheng Zhuang the truth, so he had no choice but to turn his back on him and send him away. It was just a painting, and the two of them could never have any interaction.

However, the matter of Lin Zhu needs to be reported as soon as possible. Meng Chang took out a letter, carefully considered the wording, and then wrote down the matter that Lin Zhu might be in Quliang City.

Meanwhile, Liu Liangcai, accompanied by the Imperial Advisor, rushed to Peach Blossom Lane without stopping.

The Imperial Advisor looked at the peach trees in full bloom not far away and was deeply moved. It was indeed a minor skill to bring a withered tree back to life, but to make this old tree bloom with flowers all over its branches in an instant was not so easy.

This person's mastery of wood-based magic must be extraordinary!

"No matter how many times you see these peach blossoms, they are always stunning! I have admired many peach blossoms before, but none have given me the same feeling as here," Liu Liangcai exclaimed.

"Of course! This peach tree has been nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it is no longer the same as before. Given time, it may even become a spirit." The Grand Preceptor stroked his beard and smiled.

"So this Peach Blossom Immortal is truly extraordinary; he probably doesn't care about worldly things!" Liu Liangcai said with some worry.

The Imperial Advisor waved his hand confidently and said:

"Since he is staying here and has even sent down magical rain to cure the people's chronic diseases, it shows that he has a friendly attitude towards Cangyue, so there is something to talk about."

"Chen recently acquired a treasure; even a cultivator would be tempted by it."

Liu Liangcai cupped his hands and said, "Then I wish the Imperial Preceptor a swift success!"

The Imperial Preceptor nodded slightly, then flicked his whisk and walked straight toward a wall.

Just as Liu Liangcai was about to offer a warning, he saw the Imperial Preceptor's body slowly disappear into the wall.

He reached out to touch it, refusing to believe it, and found that the wall really existed and was not some kind of illusion.

He couldn't help but sigh, "The Imperial Advisor truly is a master!"

The Imperial Advisor looked relaxed. Although the formation was mysterious, the person who set it up had left a gap, which any cultivator could easily enter.

As soon as the Grand Preceptor passed through the wall, his vision suddenly brightened, and he found himself in a small courtyard. The courtyard was filled with golden light, and there was a large chest of gold inside.

The Imperial Advisor couldn't help but smile knowingly. He knew without a doubt that this was a test, but it was far too easy.

I have plenty of these money-grubbing things, so why would I be tempted?

He shook his head slightly, then walked past the gold as if it were nothing.

Just as he expected, after he passed through the gold, the surrounding scenery changed in the blink of an eye, and he suddenly found himself in a battlefield.

After he appeared, the previously silent ground suddenly trembled violently, and zombies, the remains of dead soldiers, emerged from the ground.

Is this a test of combat strength?

The Imperial Advisor flicked his whisk, and the front half of the whisk automatically twisted together, then expanded instantly, with barbs shooting out from the expanded part, turning into a huge spiked club!

He grinned maliciously, raised his spiked club, and charged towards the zombies, sending severed limbs flying everywhere...

After a while, the Imperial Advisor stopped, panting heavily. The whisk returned to its original state, and all the zombies were slaughtered.

"Haha, how could a mere zombie possibly harm me, Chen Chui?"

As soon as the Imperial Advisor Chen Chui finished speaking, the scene around him changed again, but this time, his expression changed instantly!
