Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird
Chapter 42 The poachers are coming
director's office.
An old man who looked about the same age as the dean sat opposite the dean. He had a gloomy face and tapped the table with his fingers from time to time, making bursts of noises that were very thrilling.
Behind him stood three young men in Taoist robes, looking down at the dean with cold and aggressive eyes.
The dean sitting opposite them seemed not to notice any of this. He slowly brewed a cup of tea and pushed it in front of the old man opposite.
The old man pushed the tea back and got straight to the point. "This is not the first time I've come here. You know my purpose, so don't try to beat around the bush. Let's get straight to the point. Xiao, the student who is rumored to have defeated the former immortal sect disciple, where is he?"
The dean pushed the teacup back, still with a calm smile on his face.
This story begins on the second day after Xiao left Licheng with the team. Based on past experience, the senior management of Licheng believed that Xiao would most likely be poached, so they just let it go and let the news about the result of the battle between Xiao and Jiang Qing spread.
The people in front of him belonged to a small sect called Yunqilou. They were traveling in Licheng at the time. After hearing the news, they came to ask for people.
When President Qiao brought back the news that Xiao was willing to stay, the top executives all regretted their previous poor behavior, but there is no medicine for regret in the world, and the trouble caused by their negligence still has to be resolved.
If it was a first-rate sect that came to him, he might have made some connections to help him. But a small sect whose name he had never heard of, whose elders were not as powerful as a dean in the mortal world, actually wanted him to hand over his precious student? He was dreaming! If it wasn't for the fact that offending an immortal would ruin his reputation, he would have flipped the table on the spot.
I just won't give it to you! What's there to talk about?
"Immortal, you also know that these are rumors. Rumors cannot be trusted. How could such a shabby place like ours give birth to such a genius?" Seeing the old man holding up the teacup, the dean withdrew his hand.
The old man took a sip of tea and glanced at the dean. "Whether it's true or not, I'll know once I try. You just need to call him over."
"I told you this the last time you came." The dean looked at the old man, his eyes calm and without a trace of emotion. "His teacher has assigned him a task, and he has gone out of town now. He won't be back for a while, so please come back later."
"boom!"
The old man slammed the teacup hard on the table. The spilled tea not only fell on the table, but some of it also dripped onto his clothes, but he seemed completely unaware.
"What can a student do that will make him leave for a long time? Don't think I don't know that you want to hide him. You are harming him. The path to immortality is hard to find, and now there is an opportunity here, but you want to block him!" The old man glared, trying to see the emotional fluctuations on the other's face, but the result disappointed him.
He slowly leaned back in his chair, calmed himself down, and then continued: "Since you are unwilling to cooperate, I will go find him myself. I believe he will see the pros and cons of it." After saying that, he stood up and left like the wind with his three disciples.
I can't wait any longer. If the news reaches the larger sects, and the people they send arrive, I will have no chance at all. If my realm is not as good as the dean's, how can I bear this?
The dean was the only one left in the room. He let out a long sigh and wiped the tea off the table with a piece of cloth. At this moment, his communication stone lit up. It was President Shan of Jiangqiu Association who was looking for him.
"They are back? I don't have the mark of Xiao's communication stone. Ask Qiao to inform him not to come back to the academy recently."
"..."
"What's going on? Those guys who wanted to poach me are here again. I've already gone out to look for someone else."
"..."
"The line is busy and I can't get through? Hmm... Fortunately, I have a plan and have informed several of his roommates in advance. I hope I can catch up."
"..."
When Xiao returned to the dormitory, there was no one inside. There were two beds with mosquito nets already set up. Xiao observed their mosquito nets for a while, and after a lot of effort, he finally finished his own mosquito net.
Not long after, the three roommates also came back.
"Huh? Xiao is back. Um..." Guan Muzhe stared at Xiao's mosquito net, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he looked at Li Jiangchuan who had just entered the room with a smile.
"What are you laughing at? You're a real warrior who dares to face mosquito bites." Li Jiangchuan said unconvincedly and sat down on his bed with a "bang".
Seeing his fearless look of readying himself for death, Xiao thought to himself: Not that serious, he will be fine as long as he covers himself with the quilt.
Cheng Xiao, who came in last, looked at the red envelope on Li Jiangchuan's face, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense.
Xiao felt the bed shake. It turned out that Guan Muzhe sat next to him.
"Xiao, you don't know, a lot of strange things happened in these few days when you were away." Guan Muzhe said excitedly.
"Something strange?"
"Yes, there are always a few people in our college who do some shocking things every day, such as suddenly eating books, suddenly biting their deskmate, suddenly standing on the table and talking nonsense, and even suddenly rushing up to hit the class teacher. To be honest, those brothers are really brave."
"Mischief?"
"I don't know. When I asked them, they couldn't explain why they did that. The dean personally checked their conditions and didn't see any problems."
"..."
"Speaking of strange things, there is actually one more." Cheng Xiao, who had walked in front of the two of them at some point, suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at Cheng Xiao, and in front of everyone's gaze, the latter killed a mosquito that was waving in front of him.
"There are more mosquitoes this year," he said, flicking the dead mosquitoes off his palm.
"That's it? I thought it was something else." Li Jiangchuan looked disappointed.
"But in the past, there wouldn't be so many mosquitoes approaching us practitioners," Cheng Xiao continued.
"The mosquito has mutated?" Xiao said casually.
"That makes sense." Guan Muzhe looked thoughtful.
"I just said it casually, don't take it seriously." Xiao immediately explained.
"By the way, I almost forgot to talk about business." Li Jiangchuan suddenly clapped his hands, and the sudden sound startled everyone.
"Business... Oh! Oh!" Guan Muzhe quickly recalled what Li Jiangchuan was referring to, and said first: "Xiao, the dean asked you to stay with President Qiao for a while, and don't come back to the academy recently."
"Why?" Xiao looked at Guan Muzhe with confusion.
"It seems like someone is looking for you... Have you gotten into trouble outside?" After Li Jiangchuan added, Cheng Xiao cast a gossipy look at Xiao.
"?" Xiao was even more confused. He didn't seem to have done anything in the past few days, so how did he offend someone again?
However, Xiao didn't think much about it. He quickly made his bed and left the dormitory.
Let's go and ask President Qiao, and then we should know what's going on.
(PS: I just got some useful information, and I should change the wording of the previous chapters recently. I will let you know when all the changes are completed)
