"Suzaku Academy, Duanmu Yaoyao."
"Suzaku Academy, Tang Jiabao."
Outside the entrance of the medicinal forest, Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao reported their names directly.
"Suzaku Academy?" The guards guarding the entrance of the medicine forest looked at each other and informed Xia Qingshan immediately.
Xia Qingshan, Jiang Rou, and Xia Chuxue rushed over together.
"I'm going to Xia Qingshan."
Xia Qingshan raised his hands and spoke, looking at Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao, hesitant for a moment, "I didn't know that two eminent scholars from the academy are here..."
Duanmu Yaoyao glanced at Tang Jiabao.
Tang Jiabao directly took out his Suzaku Academy identity jade tag and handed it to Xia Qingshan for inspection.
"I have no doubts about the identities of these two eminent men." Xia Qingshan did not answer, just glanced at them and said with a smile.
Xia Chuxue, on the other hand, took a second look.
Tang Jiabao smiled, took back his identity jade badge, and said: "My senior sister and I were passing by Lingshan County and heard that a poisonous thing appeared here. It happened that my senior sister and I both knew a lot about poisons, so we came here to take a look at the situation. .”
Xia Qingshan's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "A poisonous thing did appear in this medicinal forest, suspected to be the Red Flame Clam."
"Let's go in first and then talk." Tang Jiabao said with a smile.
"Okay, okay." Xia Qingshan nodded, and then led Tang Jiabao and Duanmu Yaoyao into the medicine forest.
Deep in the medicinal forest, in the pavilion.
Meng Tiangang immediately noticed the arrival of Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao.
"Duanmu Yaoyao, Tang Jiabao...are you here to steal business?"
Meng Tiangang said secretly.
He knew a lot about Zhuque Academy. Although he had never met Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao, he knew about their existence.
A descendant of a medical family and a disciple of the Tang clan in Shuzhong.
The purpose of coming here is easy to guess.
To the Xia family, the Red Flame Clam is a god of plague.
For the heirs of the medical family who are proficient in medical skills and the disciples of the Tang sect in Shuzhong who are proficient in poison techniques, the meaning of the red flame and red clam is completely different.
Not a moment.
Xia Qingshan's family of three led Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao to the pavilion.
On the way, Xia Qingshan informed Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao that Meng Tiangang was also here.
"Junior Tang Jiabao, I have met senior Meng." Tang Jiabao stood outside the pavilion and greeted him respectfully.
Duanmu Yaoyao stood beside Tang Jiabao and did not speak.
Meng Tiangang smiled lightly and said, "Dean Feng has admitted two good disciples."
Tang Jiabao grinned, glanced at Chu Xiu, and complimented: "At first glance, your grandson is a peerless genius, and the younger generation is naturally far inferior."
"Your grandson?" Meng Tiangang, Chu Xiu, Xia Qingshan, Jiang Rou, Xia Chuxue and others were all stunned.
"Mr. Tang, you may have misunderstood." Jiang Rou said softly, "His name is Chu Xiu, and he is my nephew."
"Chu Xiu?" Tang Jiabao and Duanmu Yaoyao were both stunned.
Not Meng Tiangang’s grandson?
They thought that the person who could sit and drink with Meng Tiangang must be Meng Tiangang's grandson.
"It turns out to be Young Master Chu." Tang Jiabao laughed dryly, his thoughts changing rapidly.
This situation was completely beyond his expectation.
The original plan was to use words to stimulate Meng Tiangang's grandson, and then compete to see who could catch the Red Flame Clam first.
But now, this young man's surname is Chu, and he is not Meng Tiangang's grandson at all.
"You came here to catch the Red Flame Clam?" Meng Tiangang asked.
"Haha...yes."
Tang Jiabao laughed and nodded, feeling a little helpless. At this time, he could only admit it bravely.
"Then just wait." Meng Tiangang said with a smile, "I promised the Xia family master that I would help him catch the Red Flame Clam and give it to you two directly."
"..."
Tang Jiabao glanced at Duanmu Yaoyao.
Duanmu Yaoyao remained silent.
This situation was completely different from what she had imagined.
Chu Xiu took a sip of wine and felt a little depressed.
The arrival of Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao disrupted his plan.
"I'm already here, how can Zhu Ha give it up to others?" Chu Xiu lowered his eyebrows, his mind spinning.
Meng Tiangang looked at Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao who were silent, and gradually narrowed his eyes, "What? You don't want it?"
"Junior can catch the Red Flame Clam by yourself." Duanmu Yaoyao raised his eyes and looked at Meng Tiangang, with a hint of pride in his ethereal voice.
"..."
There was a sudden silence inside and outside the pavilion.
A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Tang Jiabao's forehead.
Xia Qingshan, Jiang Rou, and Xia Chuxue's family all held their breaths.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and poured himself a glass of Tusu fine wine.
Meng Tiangang chuckled and said with emotion: "It turns out they are really stealing business."
"Everyone depends on his ability, how about it?" Duanmu Yaoyao said.
Meng Tiangang smiled and said: "What do you think are your chances of catching the Red Flame Clam in front of me?"
Duanmu Yaoyao muttered: "Fifty percent."
Meng Tiangang's eyes dimmed.
Fifty percent?
This is completely ignoring him.
Tang Jiabao quickly explained: "What my Seventh Senior Sister means is that as long as we don't interfere with each other, we have a 50% chance of eliciting the Red Flame Clam before Senior Meng."
"Bring out the Red Flame Clam..." Meng Tiangang looked at Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao thoughtfully, "It seems that you are well prepared."
"Haha~, you made senior laugh." Tang Jiabao laughed dryly.
Meng Tiangang suddenly asked: "Your original plan was to compete with my grandson, right?"
Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao's expressions suddenly became a little unnatural.
"It's a pity that the boy sitting next to me has a surname of Chu rather than Meng." Meng Tiangang said leisurely.
Tang Jiabao laughed dryly, his scalp was numb and he felt embarrassed.
This was the first time Duanmu Yaoyao encountered such a situation, and he was speechless for a moment.
Meng Tiangang looked at Chu Xiu and said with a smile: "Boy, they are all direct disciples of Dean Feng of Suzaku Academy. Although they have not entered the Fuyao Ranking, they are definitely no worse than the geniuses on the Fuyao Ranking. Are you interested in competing with them?"
Everyone looked at Chu Xiu.
Xia Qingshan frowned and felt a little puzzled. He didn't understand why Senior Meng thought Chu Xiu was qualified to compete with the disciples from Suzaku Academy.
Chu Xiu did not answer, but asked: "Why didn't they enter the Fuyao list?"
"Because they don't want to be on the list." Meng Tiangang said with emotion, "Since the founding of Suzaku Academy, every generation of deans has basically suppressed the strongest of the era.
When Tianji Pavilion is ranking various lists, it will ask in advance when encountering Suzaku Academy. Only disciples of Suzaku Academy who are willing to be on the list will be listed. "
"That's it." Chu Xiu was a little yearning for a moment.
"Do you want to compete with them?" Meng Tiangang asked.
Chu Xiu asked: "Senior, do you think junior can win?"
Meng Tiangang smiled and said: "Compared with other aspects, I am not very sure; but when it comes to finding the Red Flame Clam, I still have some confidence in you."
"Then let's give it a try, junior." Chu Xiu said with a smile.
"Xiaoxiu, don't be impulsive." Jiang Rou became a little nervous and reminded quickly, "They are not ordinary people, they are the direct disciples of the dean of Suzaku Academy."
"Auntie, my master is not ordinary either." Chu Xiu said leisurely.
Jiang Rou was startled, then her face twitched, she was speechless and said angrily: "What about your master, I know better than you."
Xia Qingshan and Xia Chuxue, father and daughter, were also speechless.
Both of them are very familiar with the wine Taoist, and both know that the wine Taoist is not an ordinary person.
But... if compared with Dean Feng of Suzaku Academy, it seems far less impressive.
