Chapter 57 - 57: Conversation with the Elder Zhang
After entering, Tang Yin poured some tea, and then they began to talk.
"Elder, the truth is that I must soon leave for the north, so I want to leave Feifei in a good position within the academy so that she will be taken care of while I am gone. If she enters the Central Academy, can you assure me that nothing will happen to her? Just protecting her would be fine." Tang Yin spoke after having heard some things from Zhang Feiju.
Zhang Feiju looked at him somewhat surprised that he had to travel to the northern region, but still nodded.
He saw a very good opportunity to tell his intentions and have them accepted.
"Young Master Tang, don't worry. Student Feifei is really outstanding, she can enter Central Academy without my help in her first month at the academy. But, if she wanted to do it on her own, she would have to do some missions to get into a Study Hall and that could be dangerous.
If I interfere, I can make her join my Study Hall directly and she won't have to go through any tests like that, she would start to be cultivated hard by the academy from the first day, and it's the best thing for her." He said calmly.
Tang Yin stared at him for the whole time and then nodded.
"If that's so, then that's fine, I have no problem with her becoming your student. Besides, Miss Zu owes me a favor, so I will ask her to protect her during this time." Tang Yin said with a friendly smile and then looked at Huang Feifei.
"Can you leave us alone for a moment, Feifei? There are some things I want to talk to Mr. Zhang about." He spoke.
Huang Feifei, though she was a little surprised by this, nodded and left the room.
Zhang Feiju was also a little surprised by this.
Tang Yin then smiled at him.
"If I'm not mistaken, although you are the Tenth Elder of Central Academy, you don't seem to have much support from the students, correct?" Tang Yin asked.
He had noticed a few things the moment Zhang Feiju had spoken. Also, the fact that he came all the way here like that and behaved in such a 'submissive' manner to a person who has no cultivation showed that he was a bit desperate.
Desperate for what?
For getting outstanding students.
'There must be a motive behind it...' Tang Yin thought.
Zhang Feiju was surprised that Tang Yin had asked this, but he didn't deny it.
'If what Miss Jun said is correct... Maybe he can help me.' Zhang Feiju thought at that moment, so he didn't deny it.
He only gave a small sigh of helplessness.
'That's correct, Young Master Tang. My status is the lowest among the 12 Head Elders." He replied firmly, and Tang Yin nodded.
"Why? Is it because you haven't had good students and they think you are a bad teacher? I can see that your cultivation is high. In this empire, an Eighth Level Spiritual Ancestor should not be someone weak." Tang Yin was curious about this.
He hadn't heard about many things, but today did some re
Tang Yin then began to stick needles into different parts of his body before the elder spoke.
Back and forth...
In a process that did not last long.
'It's just spiritual obstruction, why hadn't it been healed before? Could it be that the level of medicine in this world is so low? This seems to be worse than the cultivation level...' Tang Yin thought with a frown.
About 30 minutes later, he was ready.
"It's ready. You won't notice any difference right now because your spirit tunnels are dry, once you start cultivating again, you'll be able to increase your cultivation level easily. How far you can go is up to you. Your 106 Spiritual Entrances are open, so, if you stop at the Sixth Realm, it would be a shame." Tang Yin said with a smile.
The elder was stunned when he heard that he was ready.
'I really don't notice much difference... But I feel as if there is no obstruction now... Could it be that my 15-year-old problem, has been solved in just 30 minutes?' He thought in shock.
But, unable to verify anything, he could only nod to him and thank Tang Yin.
"Thank you very much, Young Master. I'll be sure to repay you in the future." He said firmly and bowed to Tang Yin.
"As long as you protect Feifei, it will be enough. Now, I want to leave this city as soon as possible, do you have any way to get us to the Imperial City? Make it quick." Tang Yin asked.
The elder was surprised by this but still nodded.
"If you like, we can leave this very night. Imperial City is nearby." He replied, and Tang Yin then nodded.
"Then let's leave today. There are things I must do in the Imperial City and I can't waste any more time here." Tang Yin replied indifferently and went to look for Huang Feifei.
Although the elder was surprised by this change in Tang Yin's attitude, he still nodded firmly while saying that he was going to make preparations.
Walking out of the room to the backyard, Tang Yin frowned and put a hand on his chest.
'Shit, just opening the spiritual entrances to a little Spiritual Ancestor has left me like this, how stupid.' He thought to himself as he took a deep breath, and his body sweated.
His chest was hurting quite a bit because he had put a lot of effort into those few 30 minutes.
After all, opening the spiritual entrances to someone from the Fifth Realm…
It was a very difficult thing for a non-cultivator to do!
Even more so if he opens so many entrances in just 30 minutes!
But he had to do that.
He knew that that simple fact was going to leave a deep mark on Zhang Feiju the moment he realized that his problem was solved.
And that was important.
The more indebted he felt to him, the better it would be for him in the future.
Besides, while he was gone, it was this old man who would take care of his wife.
Putting in all the effort was the least he could do.
When Tang Yin came out, Huang Feifei noticed him and ran to where he was with a smile.
But, finding him in that state she immediately panicked.
"Tang Yin, what... What happened?" She asked in fright as she ran to where he was and helped him stand up, removing his mask in the process to see his condition.
Tang Yin simply shook his head and leaned back against her.
"...Relax, it's nothing." He replied.
