Ling Feng laughed.
"Youâre dreaming, Pei Haidong has already told me about your situation. This is the last time Iâll ask you: will you go apologize to him?"
Ge Chunqiu emphasized.
"I wonât."
Ling Feng refused.
"You... youâre hopeless. If you donât apologize, I canât help you. Good luck!"
Ge Chunqiu stormed off.
"Teacher Ge, I want to ask you a few questions about cultivation."
Ling Feng called out.
"I only guide students whose dantians are full and seas of qi are perfect, those who can nurture spiritual roots. Youâre not qualified to seek my help. If you want progress, go find Teacher Pei."
Ge Chunqiu said without turning his head.
If it werenât for Qin Qianyuâs sake, he wouldnât even bother with Ling Feng.
"Iâve already become a Martial Arts Grandmaster."
Ling Feng explained.
Ge Chunqiu heard but ignored him. After all, he knew Ling Fengâs test results. Just a few days ago, he had neither dantian nor sea of qi; how could he possibly possess them now, especially when he hardly cultivated?
"Eh..."
Ling Feng looked helpless. He couldnât possibly chase after Ge Chunqiu, begging for guidance.
He had to wait until tomorrow, when he reported to Classroom Two, to ask its teacher whether bloodline power and qi sea power could be fused together.
...
Inside the office.
Pei Haidong was using spirit root power to guide the power of heaven and earth to temper his body, trying to make it infinitely attuned to heaven and earth, attempting to enhance his strength.
Yet Ling Feng never showed up to apologize.
He couldnât help but feel a bit irritable.
He couldnât continue cultivating at all.
"This is absurd. I gave you a chance, and you still donât cherish it."
Fuming, he left the office. To make sure Ling Feng couldnât find him, he even left the academy to wander outside.
He wanted to see Ling Feng desperately upset and anxious, unable to return to the classroom for cultivation when he couldnât find him.
Since the academyâs founding, no teacher has ever begged a student to cultivate.
Moreover, Ling Feng is just a fourth-line martial arts student; the only reason he gets any attention is because of his connections with the Qin family.
Evening.
Pei Haidong returned from outside.
With his spiritual sense, he scanned the door of his office, checking if anyone was waiting for him there, only to see a pile of cat poop.
Frowning, he thought maybe Ling Feng really hadnât tried to find him.
He couldnât resist checking the resting area.
Using his grand realm level realm traveler strength, he quietly released spiritual sense, covering Ling Fengâs room.
"Clatter!"
Then he heard a crisp collision sound.
"Bang!"
"Thirty thousand!"
Followed by Ling Fengâs voice.
"Young Master Ming, itâs your turn."
A soft voice chimed.
"Wait a moment."
Ming Cheng frowned.
Even though he knew playing mahjong wouldnât increase his strength, he couldnât resist the allure after seeing Ling Feng and three smart female robots dominating the table, and ended up joining for several games.
At that moment, Ling Feng was soaking his feet, lounging in a massage chair, with a female robot cutting fruit beside him. Behind Ming Cheng, another female robot was massaging his shoulders and legs.
Li Xiaoshuang had sent them four female robots in total.
Two served Ling Feng and Ming Cheng, while two played mahjong with them. Everything was just perfect.
The strange scene baffled Pei Haidong, compelling him to fly closer to the window, where he saw Ling Feng and Ming Cheng with robots, playing mahjong together.
Ling Feng sat in the massage chair, turning a bead bracelet with one hand and touching mahjong tiles with the other, biting into fruit, his feet soaking in a footbath. His leisurely and happy demeanor was like a steaming kettle about to burst into laughter, without a trace of anxiety or concern about being kicked out of the academy.
Recalling how he deliberately avoided Ling Feng to teach him a lesson, Pei Haidong felt insulted, vowing on the spot that even if he broke academy rules, faced punishment, and lost access to cultivation resources, he would prevent Ling Feng from returning to Classroom One and attending his courses again.
The next day.
In Classroom One, all students reported in early.
Pei Haidong deliberately arrived a few minutes late to see if Ling Feng would show up and was delighted to see Ling Feng step out from the resting area and head toward the hall of Classroom One.
Struggling to suppress his mirth, he planned to let Ling Feng experience the feeling of being blacklisted by a teacher and barred from entering the cultivation classroom.
Thus, he followed closely behind, waiting to toss Ling Feng out the moment he stepped into Classroom One.
Ling Feng reported right on time.
The class time for Classroom Two was the same as Classroom One.
A while later, he finally arrived at the entrance of Classroom One. Pei Haidongâs spiritual root was itching to act, ready to use the power of heaven and earth to whisk Ling Feng away from ten meters away.
"Hello, Teacher Pei, about what happened earlier, Iâm sorry."
Ling Feng stopped, addressing Pei Haidong.
After much thought, he realized Pei Haidong had been diligent and hadnât wronged him, so as he was about to leave for cultivation in Classroom Two, he took the opportunity to apologize, hoping it would make the other feel better.
He felt no joy in this act of face-saving.
But his action nearly made Pei Haidongâs smile reach his ears.
He thought Ling Feng had finally conceded.
Remembering the grievances he suffered recently, Pei Haidong stood with his hands behind his back, pretending not to hear, waiting silently for Ling Feng to step into Classroom One so he could yank him out for everyone to see Ling Fengâs fate.
