Chapter 34

Teacher Of The Small Village

10 days later, the Cottage returned to its peaceful days.

Ye Qiubai took over Hong Ying’s work and cooked every day.

Hong Ying, who had been in Inedia Realm for a long time, had also developed the habit of eating three meals a day ever since she entered the Cottage…

Other than cooking, Ye Qiuba would also spar with Xin Hongyi or cultivate the Primordial Sword Scripture.

As for Hong Ying, she was either eating or in seclusion. Occasionally, she would go out, but no one knew what for.

Ye Qiubai and Lu Changsheng wouldn’t ask either.

As for Lu Changsheng, he was still the same as before, but there would be a hint of worry on his face…

“The food is ready.” At this moment, Ye Qiubai walked out with a few dishes.

Lu Changsheng sat at the dining table and picked up a glass of wine he had brewed. “Go call your junior sister to eat.”

Ye Qiubai nodded and brought Hong Ying over.

When the three of them were about to eat, Lu Changsheng suddenly said, “Alright, Qiubai, go and get another set of bowls and chopsticks.”

Ye Qiubai was stunned, but he still did as he was told and ran to the kitchen.

When he took out the bowls and chopsticks, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the other side of the dining table.

“Changsheng, your life is not bad.”

Lu Changsheng said helplessly, “Uncle Qin, just tell me what it is.”

Qin Tiannan nodded and took the bowl and chopsticks. He smiled brightly and said, “Let’s eat first and talk after dinner. I haven’t eaten in hundreds of years.”

Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes and began to eat.

“Eh, this wine is not bad.”

“…”

“Hmm? I feel that my cultivation, which has not improved for many years, is starting to bulge after drinking this wine?”

“…”

“Changsheng, did you brew it yourself?”

Lu Changsheng finally couldn’t take it anymore. He waved his hand, and a large jar of wine instantly landed in front of Qin Tiannan.

He said with a dark expression, “Take it away!”

Only then did Qin Tiannan smile and say, “That’s too much for me to accept.”

However, Qin Tiannan still put away the wine very honestly as he spoke.

Hong Ying: “…”

Ye Qiubai: “…”

After drinking and eating his fill, Qin Tiannan got down to business. “I’m here because of the academy’s exchange.”

“As you know, our Hidden Dao Academy is distributed in the four regions, and we are a branch of the Southern Region.”

“Every 10 years, the Hidden Dao Academy of the four regions will hold an academic exchange with each other to distribute the resources distributed by the Main Academy.”

“The Academy Competition previously was in preparation for this. Therefore, Qiu Bai, come with me to the Northern Region.”

This Four Region Academy Exchange was in the Northern Region!

Hearing this, Ye Qiubai was stunned for a moment before looking at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng said calmly, “Whether you go or not is up to you.”

The Northern Region was the territory of the Sunset Dynasty.

Jiang Chan was also there.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiubai’s eyes were firm as he nodded.

Seeing this, Qin Tiannan said in satisfaction, “Very good. What about Hong Ying?”

Even though she did not participate in the Academy Competition, Hong Ying’s strength was unquestionable. If Hong Ying was also willing to go, it would naturally be the best.

However, Hong Ying shook her head. “I have something to do first, but I’ll also set off for the Northern Region. I’ll come and take a look when the matter is over.”

Qin Tiannan nodded. “Alright, let’s gather at the entrance of the academy tomorrow.”

…

The next day, an immortal crane set off from the Hidden Dao Academy.

This time, Qin Tiannan led the team personally.

Hong Ying left the Cottage alone and headed for the Northern Region.

This time, Ye Qiubai, Huo Qingming, Lin Ce, Zhong Wu, Xin Hongyi, and another person that Ye Qiubai had never seen before participated in the exchange.

However, according to Xin Hongyi, this person was Qin Tiannan’s disciple.

His name was Huang Yuan.

It was said that he had been cultivating with Qin Tiannan and only appeared today.

At this moment, Dean Ru said, “Alright, let me explain the rules of this academy exchange.”

Everyone looked over.

The elder said with a solemn gaze, “The exchange of students is divided into two aspects. One is martial arts exchange, and the other is Confucianism Dao exchange.”

“Huang Yuan will lead the martial arts exchange. Ye Qiubai, Huo Qingming, Lin Ce, and Xin Hongyi will participate. Zhong Wu will be in charge of the Confucian Academy exchange.”

At this moment, Qin Tiannan also walked over with a solemn expression. “Our Southern Region has already been ranked last several times in a row. It can be said that our overall strength is weaker than the other three regions.”

“However, this is also the most promising time in our Southern Region, so…”

Qin Tiannan bowed to everyone and said, “I’ll leave the glory of the academy to you.”

Dean Ru also bowed with Qin Tiannan.

Both of them were top experts in the academy and had lofty statuses yet they were bowing to the students now.

It could be seen how much Qin Tiannan valued this academy exchange.

…

At the same time.

Eastern Region Hidden Dao Academy.

“We must strive to get first place in this exchange.”

“The top should still be the Northern Region. Their foundation is too strong after all. However, the Southern Region should still be at the bottom.”

“Yes, the foundation of the Southern Region is the weakest. They definitely won’t be able to catch up.”

Western Region Hidden Dao Academy.

“It’s fine as long as our martial arts exchange defeats the Southern Region. This is not our forte after all.”

“Yes, but we will definitely defeat the Northern Region in the Confucian Dao Exchange this time!”

“It’s fine. We have Wu Ming this time.”

“Yes, Junior Brother Wu Ming is the reincarnation of the Sacred Buddha. He will definitely not lose in the Confucian Dao exchange.”

Northern Region Hidden Dao Academy.

“There’s no doubt that we’ll be the champions again this time, right?”

“If nothing goes wrong, how many peerless prodigies will appear this time?”

“Senior Brother Jian and Senior Sister Mu for the Confucian Dao exchange. With these two, the top spot will definitely belong to our Northern Region.”

At the same time, in the Northern Region, there was an unknown mountain with a village in it.

This village was extremely backward, no one cultivated. They woke up to plow when the sun rose until the sun set.

However, in the empty space of the village, a young man dressed like a scholar was teaching the children in the village.

“Alright, class dismissed.”

A child said innocently, “Sir, are you going to leave tomorrow?”

“No, Sir, can you continue to teach us? We still want to read!”

The man smiled and said, “All good things must come to an end. Even though I want to continue teaching you, I’m still learning, so I have to leave.”

Hearing this, the village chief walked forward and shook the man’s hand with his thick calloused hand. He said gratefully, “Thank you for your guidance for the past few months, Sir, so that these children can study.”

The man shook his head. “This is what I should do.”

The next day, before dawn.

The man left behind a few books and carried the book basket before leaving the small village.

After walking out of the village, he looked back and could not help but sigh.

“You can’t bear to?”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. The man retreated in fear and said, “You are?”

The white-robed man in front of him chuckled and said, “My name is Lu Changsheng. I want to take you in as my disciple.”
