The Disciple’s Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 36

[Chapter 36: Stealing Daoxin – Planning to Steal Li Xu’s Dao]

There was movement at the gate of Taixu Academy, and Li Xu, the chief priest of the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Censor all walked out.

There was a bald monk with a height of 1.6 meters at the gate, with a small red mark on his forehead and a string of Buddhist beads around his neck.

Li Xu looked at him: “It’s you.”

The monk looked at Li Xu and smiled: “There is an urgent letter for you.”

“Me?”

Li Xu felt very strange. Who would have the time to write him a letter? He didn’t know many people, and he could count them with his hands and feet.

The monk handed the letter to Li Xu.

Li Xu took the letter, and the envelope was blank.

“Who gave this to you?” Li Xu asked the monk.

The young monk said, “Two or three hours ago, someone shot a letter and enough money to the post station with an arrow. There was a note tied to the arrow head, indicating that it was to be delivered to Li Xu of Taixu Academy.

As for who it was, we dispatched more than a dozen strong men, but we didn’t find it. Anyway, they sent it over after paying. I’m leaving now. If you have any questions, you can come to the post station in Funong Town to find me. My Buddhist name is ‘The Honored One of the Worlds’, so just call me ‘The World Honored’.”

The young monk turned and left. He had to deliver the letter somewhere else.

“Thank you.”

Li Xu watched him leave.

“Let’s go in and take a look.” Li Xu walked into the academy and was about to open the letter, but then he thought of something. It’s better to be careful with this kind of letter from an unknown source.

He took out a paper man from his arms and asked the paper man to open the letter for him, without realizing the danger.

He went to read the letter in person, and the letter was filled with murderous words:

“Li Xu, I am Song Shi, the head of the Song family.

I didn’t expect you to ruin my plans twice and kill the clan members I cultivated with great difficulty.

Very good, you have successfully attracted my attention.

You will no longer be safe from now on, because there are countless eyes staring at you in the dark night, making you unable to sleep at night.

Be careful of your Tao.

亼.”

Li Xu frowned after reading the letter.

The chief wine and the imperial doctor saw that Li Xu’s face was not good, and they all came up to read the letter.

“Are the thieves of Tao so arrogant?”

The imperial doctor gritted his teeth, his strong muscles were shaking, and the chief wine was full of murderous aura.

“Interesting, are you trying to steal my Tao?”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Xu’s mouth. He only cultivated spiritual power, where did Tao come from? It seems that it will be fun.

“Song Shi, this name is destined to die.”

“You ruined their stealing of Tao twice, they must be resentful and will attack you. You should go back to the imperial capital of Zhuanxu with us. It’s not safe here.” The chief wine of the Imperial Academy said.

“The masters of the Imperial Academy, the Censorate, and the Imperial Family of Emperor Zhuanxu are all here. I’m sure they won’t dare to act rashly.” The Imperial Censor also said.

Li Xu shook his head and said, “No, I’ll stay here. Since they dared to write to me and told me to be careful, it means they are determined to kill me.

It just so happens that I want to find out the branch of the road thieves in Yuyang County, arrest Song Shi, and force them to tell me where their headquarters is, and finally wipe out all the road thieves.” The

Imperial Academy’s chief wine and the Imperial Censor felt their scalps tingling when they heard this. You are worthy of it.

Li Xu said, “You go back.”

“Okay, I’ll go back and discuss with the Imperial Family of Emperor Zhuanxu to publish the information of the road thieves. The whole Daozhou will know it in a month at most.” The Imperial Academy’s chief wine said.

“I’ll go back and draft documents, approve orders, and start the census. All those who have problems will be arrested.” The Imperial Censor said.

Li Xu nodded.

The Imperial Censor and the Imperial Academy’s chief wine both bowed to Li Xu at the same time because they respected him.

Although Li Xu looks very young, he is actually older than them. He is not from the royal family, the Imperial Academy, or the Censorate, and does not belong to any power. However, he can still think about the interests of the Zhuanxu Kingdom, which is not easy.

They have tried to pull Li Xu into their camp many times, but unfortunately he is not interested.

“See you next time.” They were about to leave.

Just as they were about to leave, the Imperial Academy’s chief wine stopped, looked at Li Xu, and said:

“I think this matter can be cooperated with Shana Tower. Shana Tower has branches all over Daozhou. If the thieves go to such places, they will definitely find something. As long as they find it, they can be caught.”

“However, Shuixian’er, the person in power in Shana Tower, never believes in the Zhuanxu royal family, and even has no good face for the Censorate and the Imperial Academy.”

Li Xu looked at him: “What do you want to say?”

The Imperial Academy’s chief wine and the Censor looked at Li Xu, and suddenly smiled: “Haven’t you met her once? Maybe you can talk to her.”

“I won’t go.” Li Xu refused directly.

He did meet the woman once.

The woman was indeed stunningly beautiful, but she had a problem with her brain. As soon as she opened her mouth, she asked for his essence as a reward, and she also used seductive magic on him.

He was so scared that he carried the “carriage” and ran away at night.

Seeing that Li Xu looked unhappy, the two smiled at each other. Could there be an unknown story behind it?

“I’ll rely on you for this.”

“Get lost.” Li Xu’s face darkened.

The Imperial Academy’s chief priest smiled and handed over a black package: “This is something I bought at a high price. You should be able to use it.”

“What is this?” Li Xu looked at him.

“The thing you always wanted.”

Li Xu had only asked him for one thing before, and frowned: “Is it a formation?”

The Imperial Academy’s chief priest didn’t say anything, but just smiled, and then he and the Imperial Censor disappeared in a stream of light.

Li Xu looked at it and it was really a formation.

“Thank you.”

After a moment, Li Xu fell into deep thought: “Do I really have to cooperate with Shan Na Lou, but how to deal with Shan Tiannv is a headache. Do I really have to sell myself?”

…

Yuyang County, a courtyard somewhere.

Fifty or sixty people knelt on the ground respectfully. In the front was a man with a stern face and an upright figure. He was saluting a portrait frame in the hall.

There was a black and white portrait in the portrait frame, with a “matchstick man” painted on it.

The matchstick man in the portrait frame spoke: “This is simply our shame. Since our establishment, we have never failed in stealing the way. You have failed twice. It seems that you, the head of the Song family, are not capable.

You must know that it was me who took it all on and let the Song family set up a branch in Yuyang County. If you can’t do it well, I will let someone else do it.”

Song Shi said: “Fifth Elder, this is all because Song Ming underestimated the enemy. Now he has received the punishment he deserves.”

“There are no clues left, right?”

“No.” Song Shi said, “They are all dead, it is impossible to find here.” The

matchstick man said: “I got a tip-off that the Chief Censor and the Chief Priest of the Imperial Academy have rushed to Taixu Academy. They will definitely announce what we have done to the world soon. By then, our situation will probably be very difficult. Be careful. But, no matter what you do, Li Xu must die.”

Song Shi said: “We are planning to take action against him.”

“Have you investigated his identity clearly?”

“No.”

“You took action without knowing it, do you have a pig’s brain?”

The fifth elder shouted angrily: “Investigate his identity, his ancestors, and even the number of hairs on his bird.

If something goes wrong again, the Song family will be doomed.”

Song Shi’s forehead was full of sweat: “Yes, Fifth Elder.”

“Remember, be careful and don’t expose us. You investigate him first. I will come to help you after I finish my work here, and then kill him.”

“Yes, sir.” Song Shi bowed again.

biubiu…

A wisp of green smoke came out of the stickman on the portrait frame, and then the whole frame turned into ashes.

The courtyard was silent, no one spoke, and the only thing they wanted to complain in their hearts was:

the fifth elder is obviously super powerful but overly cautious.

Thanks to Qin Kongyin for the 500 rewards, EatDust for the 100 rewards, and the pen refill.
