Chapter 1836: Angry Like a Pufferfish

Even though the other three presidents of Inscription were a bit regretful, they also understood what Zuo Sheng’s explanation, so they could only nod and

agree.

After the inscription compet.i.tion ended, the people of the Hongtian Academy returned to the courtyard where they lived as quickly as possible, while Lu Zijia was “arrested” by Kou Sun and the other deans, and brought to a hall.

“La.s.s, why didn’t you tell us earlier that you had developed a new inscription? You could have prepared us in advance!” Zuo Sheng still couldn’t calm down the excitement in his mind.

“La.s.s, you’re usually quiet, but when you make a sound, you’ll definitely scare people.”

This was the conclusion Du He came to after spending more than a year with Lu Zijia.

Lu Zijia gave a perfectly guileless look. “Actually, I didn’t know that it was a new inscription.”

“You didn’t know?”

Zuo Sheng immediately widened his eyes. “Didn’t you create the rotation inscription? Why didn’t you know that it’s a new inscription?”

Du He and the others also looked at Lu Zijia strangely.

Being stared at by the elders all of a sudden, Lu Zijia inexplicably felt a bit stressed.

However, she still told them honestly, “Because I’m not sure if rotation inscriptions have ever appeared in the cultivation world. After all, there aren’t many inscriptions I can learn.”

The reason why she could draw the rotation inscription was all thanks to the information on the jade slips of various techniques in the outer pavilion. Otherwise, with her originally amateur knowledge of inscriptions, she wouldn’t be able to develop the upgraded rotation inscription using the transfer inscription at all.

However, she still knew too little about inscriptions, so she wasn’t sure if there were any ancestors who had developed the inscriptions.

Zuo Sheng: “…”

Du He and the others: “…” This reason was really… inexplicably frustrating.

In order not to continue feeling stifled, Du He and the others stopped thinking about this problem and discussed how to maximize the inscription.

Two hours later, Lu Zijia left the meeting hall gloomily and returned to the courtyard where she lived.

“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?’

Mu Tianyan, who was waiting in front of the courtyard, couldn’t help but raise his hand and squeeze his wife’s face when he saw her depressed look. It felt as good as ever.

“Not only are the Deans of Hongtian Academy unscrupulous businessmen, but even the Deputy Dean is an unscrupulous businessman. He’s simply too evil! ”

Facing her Dao Companion, Lu Zijia complained about Kou Sun, the Deputy Dean, without hiding anything.

“He asked me what reward I wanted. I told him, and he actually said no. He simply went back on his word. What a profiteer!”

Lu Zijia put her hands on her hips and was as angry as a pufferfish.

Mu Tianyan pulled her into the room and poured a cup of tea for his wife.

Lu Zijia took it and drank it all at once. Her burning throat finally felt a bit better.

“The reward you proposed is to enter the inner pavilion?”

Mu Tianyan could guess most of his wife’s thoughts.

As expected, Lu Zijia touched her ears a bit guiltily. “Yeah, the Deputy Dean asked me to mention what reward I wanted. I even asked him if any reward was fine. He agreed to it himself, but when I said it, he went back on his word again. He’s simply gone too far!”

Going back on his word wasn’t something a gentleman would do at all.

However, the Deputy Dean actually said that he wasn’t a gentleman without blus.h.i.+ng! He really didn’t even care about his image. He was too much, too Mu Tianyan touched her head comfortingly and said, “The inner pavilion should be related to the secret of Hongtian Academy. It’s not easy to enter. This time, just treat it as laying the foundation.”

Lu Zijia certainly knew this too. She was just shocked by Kou Sun, the dignified Deputy Dean, going back on his word and being shameless.

“Right, the Deputy Dean said that I’m attracting too much. If I want to return to the Hongtian Empire safely, I can’t win the alchemy compet.i.tion tomorrow.” Lu Zijia had no objections to this.

After all, the danger of the mystic realm was extremely high. The more people entered, the better. If all the elites of an academy died in the mystic realm, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the academy.

“The Deputy Dean’s consideration is not unreasonable.” Apparently, Mu Tianyan also agreed with this..
