Chapter 165: Chapter 123, Devil Plan 2.0!_2

"You’ve already demonstrated that sword technique in public, so from now on, you must be very careful and cautious..."

Tang Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "Is the Dean worried that someone has set their sights on my cultivation technique and plans to steal it?"

"A man without guilt, but a man with a gem invites guilt. It has always been this way. Your sword technique was so powerful that it defeated Qin Jianyi beyond his level... Think about it, how many people will covet your sword manual?"

"If it were in the hands of those large families, they might still have some reservations. In the hands of you two, I’m afraid they will act without any scruples..."

"I understand." Tang Fei bowed deeply to Shang Xiulin, thanking him for his reminder, and said, "Thank you, Dean, I will be careful in the future."

"Right, there’s no need to worry too much. In New Star, unlike in the Old Land, we have a legal society, and no one would dare to rob openly. Inside the school, you are certainly safe, just be a little more mindful."

"Yes. I will try to stay inside the school as much as possible and not go out," Tang Fei said with a smile.

Thinking to himself that the school wasn’t safe either.

The last time he went for a walk by the lake, he was attacked by a mechanical snake controlled by a mechanic.

Thinking of that mechanical snake, he also thought of Lu Siyu...

What exactly was Lu Siyu’s relationship with the old man? And where was the old man?

Little Fatty looked towards Shang Xiulin, asking with trepidation, "Master, the fact that I fought those people... it won’t cause any trouble for you, will it?"

"If you fought them, then you fought them." Shang Xiulin’s expression turned slightly frosty as he said, "The disciples of Shang Xiulin are not to be bullied by just anyone."

Tang Fei was greatly moved, looking at Shang Xiulin with sincere eyes and said, "Thank you, Master, for being willing to protect my brother and me. This great kindness will never be forgotten..."

"I am not your Master, your teacher is Mr. Ran." Shang Xiulin was not fooled by Tang Fei’s ploy.

This kid could cause too much trouble; if he was related to him, who knew how much mess he would have to clean up after him...

But thinking of his foolish disciple, who obeyed him in so many respects, Shang Xiulin felt helpless.

The mischief he wanted to do—he wouldn’t do it himself, but he let Little Fatty do it on his behalf... wasn’t he still covering for him?

How could two brothers be so different in character?

"Dean Shang, don’t be modest. As the Dean of the Imperial First Military Academy, you are the teacher of all the students in this academy," Tang Fei insisted firmly. "Besides, you are my brother’s teacher, naturally, you are also my teacher... In your presence, I must also act as a disciple."

Once Tang Fei decides who his teacher is, that person must be his teacher.

Thinking of running away? No chance.

"Alright, alright." Shang Xiulin, tired of chatting with this blabbermouth, waved his hand and said, "You go out now, Little Fatty and I have some things to discuss..."

"Yes, Dean." Tang Fei gave Little Fatty a look, then turned and left.

Once Tang Fei was far away and the office door was closed again, Shang Xiulin looked at Little Fatty with a serious face and admonished, "Don’t you start picking up his bad habits."

"My brother’s not bad," Little Fatty spoke up to correct the Dean.

He didn’t like anyone calling his brother a bad person, not even Dean Shang.

In his heart, there was no one better than his big brother.

Shang Xiulin pondered for a moment before saying, "I know he’s not inherently bad, he’s just had a harder life than others... Your way of cultivation is different from his, so you must maintain your sincere and genuine nature; only then can you command the great way. If you learn to be as cunning and slippery as he is, you’ll probably be stuck here forever, beyond even divine help..."

Little Fatty nodded as if he understood but did not, and asked, "Teacher, what is my great way?"

"I don’t know either," Shang Xiulin shook his head, but his face was full of anticipation as he looked at Little Fatty and said, "But I’m really looking forward to that day."

"Oh." Little Fatty’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he asked, "Master, what should I learn today?"

"Breaking rocks," Shang Xiulin said.

"..."

Tang Fei returned to the classroom, and Ran Ran came over to ask, "Dean Shang didn’t give you a hard time, did he?"

"No." Tang Fei said, "Dean Shang was very kind to me, even concerned about my mental state, saying not to take those things to heart, those people who were beaten were beaten, and that his students from the Shang Xiulin are not to be bullied by just anyone... He told me to go to his house for meals whenever I can."

"That’s good then." Ran Ran looked at Tang Fei with a skeptical expression, thinking to herself, didn’t Dean Shang dislike you?

The first time you visited, you were kicked out the door at mealtime, just like I was...

Could it be that Dean Shang sees your potential and wants to take you under his wing?

With this possibility in mind, Ran Ran felt a wave of insecurity wash over her.

As a teacher from the Ancient Martial Department, competing with the dean for students was no easy task.

"By the way, I’ve already come up with your second phase of training." Ran Ran pulled out a document from her phone and sent it directly to Tang Fei, saying, "This plan is actually an enhanced version of the previous one... Of course, it’s been adjusted appropriately to your current upper level of qi control... I hope that within six months you can step into the Tongyou Realm..."

Tang Fei nodded, "Teacher, does the school have any Foundation Establishment Cultivation Techniques?"

"Yes, we do. Those are all basic Cultivation Techniques, and every student is free to borrow them." Ran Ran looked puzzled at Tang Fei and said, "You are already at an upper level of qi control, why do you want such basic entry-level Cultivation Techniques?"

"Because a good friend of mine told me that my Yin Yang Qi is not stable and smooth enough... I want to comb through it again and supplement it. The more solid the foundation is laid, the wider the world I can enter."

Although he did not like Shen Xinglan, he was willing to accept his advice.

When he became stronger than Shen Xinglan, he would carry a gift and thank Shen Xinglan earnestly.

Ran Ran nodded, "I’ve also noticed you have this issue; I thought you were too busy with travel to repair the previous unstable foundation defects... Since you have the mindset and are willing to start from scratch, I will find you a suitable beginner Cultivation Technique to help you pick up what’s been missed, to make your foundation even more solid and firm..."

"Thank you, Mr. Ran." Tang Fei said gratefully.

"Don’t mention it," Ran Ran said, "Let’s go to the Martial Arts Hall. The Devil Plan 2.0 version officially starts now."

"Let’s start," Tang Fei said.

To become stronger, only with great strength can one truly protect their loved ones and themselves.

------

When Tang Fei came out of the Martial Arts Hall, the sky had already turned dim.

He was about to go find Little Fatty to go home together when he noticed Sheng Xinhuai, dressed in a black long dress, waiting for him at the door.

The dress was knee-length, her black hair flowing.

Because of her overly full bosom, the curves of her figure were accentuated, quite the eye-catcher.

"Good evening, Mr. Sheng," Tang Fei greeted as he approached Sheng Xinhuai.

He had a favorable impression of this woman, who demonstrated the dance at the ball over and over again, just so he could quickly learn and accompany Phoenix with the second dance.

"Are you finished with classes?" Sheng Xinhuai looked at Tang Fei and asked.

"Yes." Tang Fei nodded and said, "Is there something Mr. Sheng needs? Or are you waiting for someone?"

"Waiting for you," Sheng Xinhuai’s voice was soft and charming as she looked at Tang Fei with a smile.

"Waiting for me? Is there something you need?" Tang Fei asked in surprise.

He had not expected Sheng Xinhuai to wait for him, after all, she was Phoenix’s friend, not his... Was this something Phoenix arranged?

Another test?

"Do everything you did with Phoenix, all over again," Sheng Xinhuai said with a playful smile.

Tang Fei’s eyes widened in astonishment at Sheng Xinhuai, "Everything? Do it all over again?"

Now it was Sheng Xinhuai’s turn to be uncertain, she asked, "What all have you done with Phoenix? You haven’t...haven’t been to bed, have you?"

"..."
