Chapter 934: Chapter 32: Return to Shu [Combined]

The next day, the tranquil sound of a flute came from distant mountains in the early morning.

A flying boat descended upon Shu Mountain’s Treasure Pagoda Peak quietly, the entire process was very low-key. Some who recognized it as Lin Bei’s flying boat, of the Four Tyrants, might wonder, this did not match his usual flamboyant style.

Normally, Lin Bei would stand on the bow of his flying boat upon returning to Shu Mountain, calling over friends and greeting acquaintances everywhere, wishing that all female cultivators could witness his imposing air.

This time, it was not that Lin Bei wanted to be discreet; he too wished the whole world knew that Lord Demon God was visiting Shu Mountain on his flying boat, and they were all buddies.

Unfortunately, after discussions between the upper echelons of Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and various Demon Kings, it was decided that everything should remain a secret.

For the Demonic Clan, the kidnapping of the Demon God by the Human Clan was already a humiliating event in itself. Their choice to live peacefully with the human race in the Eastern Sea was entirely different from being forced to the Eastern Sea.

As for Shu Mountain, they also did not wish to publicize the fact of the Demon God’s frequent residency at their sect, to avoid attracting the covetous gazes of certain individuals.

Thus, only the Shu Mountain upper echelon, the thirty-five Peak Masters, and some core disciples knew about this matter. It was crucial to keep it a secret from the outside world and Empress Feng.

The Earth-Wood Hall had worked overnight to construct two pavilions at Treasure Pagoda Peak, especially for Tuntun’s living and learning. The layout of the pavilions was specially designed, ensuring Tuntun’s room was independent while still being under constant surveillance from the two adjacent rooms.

Living next door were the Qingqiu Demon King Cai Yi and Daoist Yan of Shu Mountain; neither side was willing to leave Tuntun alone with the other’s influence, which led to such a strategic arrangement.

The reason for entrusting Daoist Yan with this matter was because although Shu Mountain currently had many talented individuals, there were indeed few suitable for this particular task.

Anyone whose cultivation had not reached the Eighth Realm was instantly disqualified, incapable of seeing through Cai Yi’s methods. It would not be appropriate for Master Wen Yuan, head of a Shu Mountain lineage, to stay there every day. Baize, as a Limiter, was not entirely clean when it came to the Demon God affair and may have had her biases, so she voluntarily distanced herself from Treasure Pagoda Peak to avoid suspicion. The Venerable Azure Dragon was considered an outsider and, having shown allegiance to Chu but not necessarily to Shu Mountain, had yet to prove his loyalty.

Eliminating the unsuitable candidates one by one, it seemed that Daoist Yan was the best fit for the job.

Although her ancestors had complex connections with Cai Yi, those were matters from hundreds of years ago. In terms of being ruthless and decisive, Daoist Yan was undoubtedly trustworthy.

The Earth-Wood Hall’s director Senior Brother Fang Zhonghai led the way in front, explaining everything as Daoist Wen Yuan of Shu Mountain and the four Zhenshan Elders accompanied them throughout, leading Cai Yi, the envoy from the Demonic Clan, and the honored guest, Demon God Tuntun, on a tour around Treasure Pagoda Peak, along with Chu Liang and several members of the human delegation.

"This is the classroom we’ve built for Lord Demon God," introduced Fang Zhonghai. "There will be more than ten scholars from the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism to educate the Lord Demon God. Of course, we will also invite scholars from the Demonic Clan..."

"I will take care of it personally," Cai Yi said indifferently. "There’s no need to trouble others."

This issue was indeed hard to address, as the cultural landscape of the Demonic Clan was indeed a desert, even barer than the lands of the Far West. Cai Yi was so educated among the Demonic Clan that it sometimes set her apart from the rest.

"The courses arranged for Lord Demon God by both the Human Clan and the Demonic Clan will be monitored by our sides to ensure there are no deliberate inclusions of hatred or distortions of historical facts," Master Wen Yuan added.

Turning his head, Fang Zhonghai then pointed out, "This is for the classmates of the Lord Demon God upon the request of Master Chu... Junior Brother Chu."

Inside the classroom, several classmates were already waiting.

These were Liu Xiaoyu, Liu Xiaoyi, the Koi sisters, the Baize cubs, and Chen Lingtong, the offspring of the Pill Furnace Elder.

"The reason for arranging some classmates is to hope that Lord Demon God can realize the importance of unity and friendship among all races within the bonds of schoolmates," Chu Liang said.

Of course, there were some things that could not be said outright.

For example, if Tuntun did something wrong, you obviously can’t scold her directly. At that time, if there is a classmate around, the teacher can take the opportunity to chastise the classmate as a hint to Tuntun about what is not appropriate.

Take the Chen sibling as an example.

Ever since he was "educated" by the duo of Chu Liang and Empress Feng, the child Chen Lingtong had become much more well-behaved. After Chu Liang left, there was another Chu, Chu Yi of Silver Sword Peak, who influenced him well for several years. Chen Lingtong was pulled back from the path of becoming like Qi Lin’er and became a well-mannered, civilized child.

In the age group of thirteen or fourteen years old at Shu Mountain, Chen Lingtong was regarded as one with exceptional talent, so his selection was no surprise.

The need to include a Shu Mountain disciple was because Chu Liang felt that to showcase the great unity of all races, it wouldn’t look quite right without a genuine Human.

"Lord Demon God may go greet your classmates first," Cai Yi suggested.

Tuntun walked over timidly. Chen Lingtong was the only one looking at her meekly, while the others probably didn’t know Tuntun’s identity.

After all, the Koi sisters were from Silver Sword Peak, and there was a concern they might let something slip.

Liu Xiaoyu pulled Tuntun over and said with a smile, "We’ll be classmates from now on; don’t be scared. At Shu Mountain, we’ll look after you, us girls can play together."

Chen Lingtong was about to smile when he heard Liu Xiaoyu pointing at him and saying, "Don’t play with him; males are no good."
