Chapter 1156: Chapter 1555: Drive the Tiger to Swallow the Wolf

Gong Che was no match for Shi Yi and was quickly defeated.

The students were in uproar, the ever-progressive Gong Che had actually lost to Shi Yi?

"Little Lu, did you teach this?!" Murong You’s eyes were wide with shock as she stared at Lu Yang. It had only been a few days, and even if she herself had taught the class, she wouldn’t have been able to achieve such results.

"The main thing is that I taught well. Of course, the children also have decent comprehension abilities. It’s not just Shi Yi; the other children are also advancing rapidly in their cultivation."

"How did you teach them?" Murong You suddenly realized something and excitedly grabbed Lu Yang’s shoulders. "Dream Mirage, you showed them the Dream Mirage, didn’t you?"

"Alright, stop shaking me, just take a look and you’ll understand." Lu Yang chuckled and picked up the Recording Orb from the ground; class had just ended and this incident had already occurred. He hadn’t had time to put away the Recording Orb yet.

The majestic Ancient Qiongqi appeared before Murong You, roaring and demonstrating a ruler’s demeanor.

"This, this is a Qiongqi?!"

Murong You didn’t recognize Jin Caiwei and could only identify this as one of the strongest races among the legendary Tiger Clan, the Qiongqi Clan.

"Where did this Recording Orb come from?"

"It was a gift from the junior ancestor of the Qiongqi Clan."

"I’m serious."

"I’m serious too."

Seeing that Lu Yang was unwilling to tell the truth, Murong You let it be, as she couldn’t stop admiring the Recording Orb.

Not only was the Recording Orb beneficial for Shi Yi, but it was also very useful to her.

She had never seen a living Qiongqi in her lifetime.

"Little Lu, ah no, Daoist Lu, are you selling this Recording Orb?"

"Whether it’s for sale or not, it’s not something valuable. I’ll give it to you all." This Recording Orb that Lu Yang had was the original version, different from those available on the market, and best reflected the divine might of the Qiongqi Clan.

"This, how could I accept this... What if I give you the fist manuals for the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage?"

Lu Yang felt that if he simply gave it to Elder Murong, Elder Murong might be restless. It was better to accept something in return to put his mind at ease: "That’s fine, but I’ll still need this Recording Orb for teaching. You can use it after my lessons are finished."

"Of course, of course."

Murong You was overjoyed.

"How about it, little Gong? Will you still come to class?"

By this point, Gong Che knew that Shi Yi’s progress was thanks to Lu Yang. He had missed a great opportunity and knelt on the ground to apologize: "I’m sorry, Mr. Lu. I will definitely attend class on time and not leave early."

"That’s enough, no need to kneel." Lu Yang lifted him up with mana.

"Mr. Lu, what about the child in the future..." Gong Che’s parents came forward with apologetic smiles, worried that Lu Yang would refuse to teach Gong Che.

"You’ve paid the tuition, if little Gong comes to learn, I will teach."

"He will definitely come. If he doesn’t, I’ll spank him!" Gong Che’s father declared in a gruff voice.

"Right, the two of you, stay back for a moment after class. I have something to ask you."

After the students and Murong You had left, Gong Che’s parents came to Lu Yang’s room feeling uneasy, leaving Gong Che outside.

Nervously, Gong Che’s parents took out several Spirit Stones from their Storage Ring, intending to hand them to Lu Yang.

"You’ve misunderstood; that’s not what I meant. I wanted to ask if Gong Che has had any accidents at birth since there seems to be an excess of cold Qi in his body?"

Gong Che’s parents didn’t expect Lu Yang to ask this question, but ultimately, Gong Che’s father decided to reveal the truth.

"Ah, we might as well tell the truth; actually, Gong Che isn’t our biological child. We found him when we were hunting Demon Beasts outside the city."

"When we found Gong Che, the child’s Little Face was purple. We couldn’t bear to let the child freeze to death outside, so we brought him back."

"We fed the child ginger soup and herbs, but his complexion didn’t improve. We searched for all the doctors in the city to save him."

"But the doctors told us that the child’s body was afflicted with cold Qi, a sign of an early death, not expected to live past sixteen."

"Then we always looked for various ways to keep little Che alive. We happened to hear a folk remedy saying that practicing a yang-filled fist could drive out the cold Qi, so we had him practice fist here."

"Does little Gong know about this?"

"We didn’t dare tell him; we only said his body was weak and he needed to take more medicine and practice more fist. However, the child is sensitive, he may have noticed something."

"He feels that your classes are a waste of time without teaching fist; perhaps that’s also why."

When it came to the sad part, Gong Che’s mother cried, sobbing: "I don’t know which heartless person left little Che in the snow to let the cold Qi enter his body."

Lu Yang shook his head: "It’s not because he was left in the snow; rather, he is afflicted with Xuantian cold Qi, which is not something commonly found around here."

"But it’s not a big problem; continue to follow me and practice fist, and it will eliminate the cold Qi from his body."

"Then thank you, Mr. Lu!" The couple hurriedly knelt and kowtowed; although Gong Che was not their biological child, after raising him for fifteen years, it felt like he was their own.

"That’s enough; I’ve already said I do this for money, it’s a fair trade, there’s no need to thank me." Lu Yang never expected that after helping Gong Che up, he would have to help his parents too. Truly like family.

With the original method, Gong Che would definitely not live past sixteen, but with Lu Yang around, this kind of cold Qi wasn’t a problem.

Actually, the best solution would be to cut Old Meng, get a drop of his blood, dilute it in water for Gong Che to soak in once, and guarantee a cure. But Old Meng was far away, and it was a bit troublesome to look for him; practicing fist was the most trouble-free option.

After sending Gong Che’s family away, Lu Yang focused on dealing with his own affairs.

"Fairy, do you know any life-saving techniques?"

Several days passed, and Elder Brother Dai hadn’t sent anyone. It looked like he had to rely on himself.

"Life-saving techniques? The Playing Dead Technique."

"...Do you have any life-saving techniques with an offensive nature?"

If the enemy was slow-witted, that’s one thing; but if he encountered enemies smarter than Immortal Fairy Eternity, the Playing Dead Technique was likely not going to work.

"How about I perform the Playing Dead Technique, and this Immortal possesses your body to help you fight?"

"Anything else?"

Immortal Fairy Eternity clenched her teeth, as if making a significant decision: "If need be, I’ll risk damage to my essence and forcefully condense an Immortal body to save you!"

This gave Lu Yang a big scare, and he hurriedly said it wasn’t necessary.

"Hmm, when in danger, just shout that you are Lu Yang; the City Lord will surely save you."

Lu Yang was silent. The Fairy had even learned tactics like driving the tiger to swallow the wolf; she didn’t seem like someone who would use such tactics when they first met, right?

Had following him for so long subtly made the Fairy smarter?

"What if the danger comes from the City Lord?"

"Then you say you have so many enemies that they need to take a number to seek revenge on you."

"And if the other enemies come?"

"Then you curse at Yingtian Immortal; Yingtian Immortal will have a response and will definitely bring down Immortal Thunder to save you."

"What if Yingtian Immortal’s action attracts even stronger enemies, like from the Great Qian Dynasty, for example?"

"If need be, I’ll risk damage to my essence..."
