Chapter 430: The Thunder Tribulation Approaches, the Standoff Between Father and Son
“Tsk tsk!”
“You’re the one, Chen Changsheng, who can come up with ways. Only you have the means in such a chaotic situation.”
“What about the Divine Clan?”
Upon hearing the name of the Divine Clan, Chen Changsheng squinted his eyes and replied flatly.
“The Divine Clan wants to play both sides.”
“But they don’t realize that once trouble arises, the wall-sitters will be the first to suffer.”
“Fortunately for them, if it weren’t for this black pot, the Demon Clan might not even be able to bear it.”
…
In the confinement room.
“You have permission to visit for half an incense time.”
The guard of the confinement room stated simply and then turned around to leave.
As the guard left, Moon Shadow immediately approached with concern.
“Tiger, are you hurt anywhere? Let Mother have a look.”
“Mother, I’m fine, just some minor injuries. What about you all…”
“What does it matter? Just let him fend for himself.”
Before Xu Hu could finish his sentence, Xu Mao interrupted him.
Looking at Xu Mao’s “black face,” Xu Hu replied unhappily.
“Father, did I do anything wrong?”
“Did you not do anything wrong?”
“I brought you to the academy to concentrate on your cultivation, not to stir up trouble.”
“Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused this time?”
Hearing this, Xu Hu clenched his fists.
“It was clearly Ma Guang who started it first. Why should I take the blame?”
“Do you expect me to wag my tail and beg for mercy just because the enemy has come to my door?”
“If something happens, I’ll just bear it alone!”
“Unfilial son!”
Facing Xu Hu’s rebuttal, Xu Mao instantly flew into a rage.
Seeing this, Moon Shadow quickly said, “Tiger, don’t argue with your father. Let me see your injuries.”
With Moon Shadow’s pull, Xu Hu unwillingly stepped into the confinement room.
Passing through door after door, Moon Shadow and the others could clearly see the people inside the confinement room through specially designed windows.
When they passed by the confinement room holding Potato, Xu Mao’s footsteps paused for a moment.
Looking at the fox-eared girl sitting with her eyes closed, Xu Mao pursed his lips but said nothing in the end.
“Mother, these are my friends from the academy.”
“You already know Hu Yan and Feiyun, so I won’t take you there.”
In response to Xu Hu’s words, Moon Shadow nodded with a smile.
“Indeed, your friends are all capable individuals. You should get along well with them in the future.”
“By the way, Mother has made you a piece of clothing. See if it fits.”
Saying this, Moon Shadow took out a fitted gray “inner garment.”
Seeing this, Xu Hu laughed and said, “Mother, you know I don’t know how to make clothes.”
“How can I wear something like this!”
“Just wear it when I tell you to. Why so much nonsense?”
Hearing Xu Mao’s words, Xu Hu’s face immediately drooped.
“Got it, I will wear it in the future.”
“The visiting time is up, you should go back.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t embarrass you.”
After saying that, Xu Hu took the garment from Moon Shadow’s hand and turned to enter the confinement room.
“Bang!”
The door closed tightly, and both sides’ voices were cut off at that moment.
Seeing this, Xu Mao said lightly, “Leave him be.”
“This brat has grown wings. Let him fend for himself.”
With that, Xu Mao took Moon Shadow and left the confinement room, subsequently departing from Mountain River Academy.
…
Eight hundred miles outside Mountain River Academy.
Once the distance was fully opened, Moon Shadow suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with tears.
Seeing this, Xu Mao could only gently pull Moon Shadow into his embrace.
However, Xu Mao’s eyes were also red at that moment.
“Husband, could it really be the Master?”
Holding back her sobs, Xu Mao sighed softly and said, “It’s him, it must be him.”
“But the chef had no problem!”
“It’s precisely because there was no problem that it must be him.”
“Only Bai Ze and the Master could have interfered in the confinement room.”
“Everyone thought we would use Anxin Inn as a starting point.”
“But they forgot, The World’s No. 1 Spring is the largest sect in the Spirit Domain, and there are few things that can escape my attention within the Spirit Domain.”
“The Ten Full Moons first appeared in Wanxiang City, back then he was accompanied by a white dog.”
“But now that dog has vanished, replaced by a Silver Moon Wolf Emperor within the academy.”
“I asked you to find Su Wan’er first to rattle the snake in the grass.”
“Facts have proven that my thoughts were correct; the fox demon in the confinement room is indeed the chef we knew.”
“How could someone who commands such power in Mountain River Academy be an ordinary little fox demon?”
Hearing this, Moon Shadow spoke up.
“What about the original chef from the inn?”
“She has been hidden away by my little sister.”
“My little sister is rare with the Fragrant Fox constitution, and with guidance from Bai Ze and the Master.”
“If she truly wants to conceal something from anyone, no one can spot the flaw.”
“If she were like ‘Ye Yongxian,’ overflowing with peculiarity, that would be normal.”
“But the fact is, she isn’t like that.”
“Mountain River Academy is the Supreme Saint’s dojo; even if an Emperor personally visits, they must give the Supreme Saint some face.”
“Only Bai Ze and the Master have the audacity and qualification to play tricks and observe everyone’s every move in Mountain River Academy.”
After hearing this, Moon Shadow was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Because her son had embarked on a dangerous path.
“What about Tiger?”
“Fate and destiny; this is his fate, and I am powerless.”
“According to my investigation, the Master happened to encounter Tiger at the academy.”
“This means that the Master did not know of Tiger’s existence from the start.”
“All our precautions have prompted the encounter between Tiger and the Master.”
Receiving this explanation, Moon Shadow immediately broke down in tears in Xu Mao’s embrace.
…
At Mountain River Academy.
In just ten days, a short period passed, and nothing significant occurred during this time.
As outer sect disciples, Sui Feng and Potato were soon released.
“You all are finally out; I’ve been almost overwhelmed these days.”
Seeing Sui Feng and the others, Chen Changsheng greeted them enthusiastically.
Looking at the piles of books around Chen Changsheng, Sui Feng asked curiously.
“Master, what are you doing?”
“Preparing for the Thunder Tribulation; it’s coming soon.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yongxian, who had been indifferent, suddenly became interested.
“You are crossing the Thunder Tribulation?”
“It’s not I who is crossing the Thunder Tribulation, but someone else is.”
“Although I’ve found the general method for crossing, I still want to observe the Thunder Tribulation closely.”
“This opportunity is rare; I want to verify my thoughts.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng handed Ye Yongxian a note and said.
“Tomorrow, you go out and bring this back for me.”
