Chapter 353: Completely Deceived! (4 updates)

"I wonder what else the Vice Principal needs from that brat Ling Feng?"Seeing Tong Chengtai taking Ling Feng away, Leng Jianfeng furrowed his brows, unable to understand what such a high-level figure could possibly need to discuss with Ling Feng.

"It must be to inquire about the incident where he injured those students from the West Courtyard."

Su Qingxuan smiled slightly, and after dispersing the surrounding students, she left the student residency area alongside Leng Jianfeng.

"Since Ling Feng has been taken away by the Vice Principal, we should leave too."ogether, right?"

"Yes, Vice Principal."

Tong Chengtai’s gaze was deep and unfathomable as he stared at Ling Feng and asked, "May I ask, what exactly is your relationship with Yan Cangtian?"

"You mean Elder Yan..."

Ling Feng pondered for a moment; although he had not formally become a disciple, Yan Cangtian had taught him martial techniques and gifted him the Medicine King’s Scripture—he was something of a teacher to him.

"He’s somewhat of a teacher," Ling Feng slowly said.

"That’s what I thought," Tong Chengtai smiled faintly, "To be valued by that old man Yan Cangtian, you are quite lucky, kid."

"I guess so."

Ling Feng pursed his lips; in a way, Yan Cangtian was also lucky to have met him.

Otherwise, not only would Yan Cangtian continue to act crazy as usual, but he probably wouldn’t have lived for many more years.

"I was curious before, but now I understand. No wonder Yan Cangtian holds you in such high regard; you truly are a dragon among men. I roughly know what actually happened in this incident, so I won’t be punishing you. Here’s one million Heavenly Position Points, three hundred thousand to offset your penalty, and the remaining seven hundred thousand as a meeting gift from me."

"This..." Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched; Tong Chengtai was being extremely generous.

Honestly, Ling Feng didn’t really need Heavenly Position Points, but that didn’t mean they were entirely useless to him.

Even Yan Cangtian himself said that the Treasure Vault of Heavenly Position Academy absolutely should not be underestimated.

"Take it," Tong Chengtai smiled faintly. "Since Yan Cangtian is your teacher, and that old fellow is also my fellow disciple, I am essentially your Junior Master. It’s perfectly fine for me to give you some gifts as a first meeting gesture, isn’t it?"

"Alright then, thank you, Junior Master." Ling Feng nodded in thanks. Seven hundred thousand Heavenly Position Points—that was something valuable!

It was known that during the last beast-hunting competition, the one who won first place among all the new A-class Disciples, Jun Moxie, only received one million points.

"No need to be polite." Tong Chengtai coughed dryly, gave a sheepish smile, and his gaze became somewhat ambiguous.

"That..." Tong Chengtai grinned and rubbed his hands together in a somewhat awkward manner, causing Ling Feng to stare in confusion.

What kind of difficult-to-discuss matter did this guy seem to have?

Could it be that Elder Yan had also told him about his medical skills? Was it possible that he was getting old, his marital life was not harmonious, and he wanted to seek treatment?

As Ling Feng was wildly guessing, Tong Chengtai finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth, "Well, Xiao Feng..."

"Xiao Feng..." Ling Feng’s mouth twitched, and in the blink of an eye, had they become that close?

"About the ranking issue in the last beast-hunting competition, there was a slight misunderstanding between that old fellow Yan Cangtian and me."

Ling Feng understood; it was because of this "misunderstanding" that Yan Cangtian had sought him out, and then Tong Chengtai’s attitude changed, granting him a spot in the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower.

"Because of this small misunderstanding, that old fellow gave me a pill of poison," Tong Chengtai’s face turned slightly red as he swallowed, then continued, "So, there actually aren’t any misunderstandings now, can you tell Yan Cangtian to give me the antidote sooner?"

"Antidote?"

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched and sized up Tong Chengtai from head to toe. This guy showed no signs of being poisoned at all—his breathing was even, his heartbeat stable, and his internal organs were as normal as could be.

Ling Feng checked three times, and he could bet on the reputation of being the Heir of Medical Saint—Tong Chengtai was not poisoned at all.

So, the truth was only one—Yan Cangtian was simply playing him!

Poor Junior Master Tong!

Ling Feng smirked inwardly; no wonder Tong Chengtai was helping him secretly—it turned out there was such a connection.

He coughed a few times, nodded earnestly, and said, "Hmm, Junior Master, please rest assured. You have been so kind to me; I will definitely express my gratitude, and I’ll put in a good word for Junior Master in front of Elder Yan, so he gives the antidote to Junior Master soon."

"Good!" A huge weight seemed to lift from Tong Chengtai’s heart as he laughed heartily, "Xiao Feng, with your words, I’m relieved. If there are any good tasks in the future that carry more points and less danger, I’ll arrange them for you first!"

"Thank you, Junior Master." Ling Feng chuckled inwardly. If Tong Chengtai knew that he wasn’t actually poisoned, he would probably be frustrated to the point of spitting blood.

However, Ling Feng adhered to the principle of "seeing through without pointing out." Let Tong Chengtai continue to worry and fear; after all, such a Tong Chengtai was quite "interesting."

"Alright then, you can go back first. As for the conflicts with the West Courtyard Sword Team, I will naturally sort them out for you."

"Thank you, Junior Master!"

"Also, try to stay out of trouble as much as possible in the future; I can’t always be there to clean up your mess... cough, deal with it, right?"

"Yes, yes, I will diligently heed Junior Master’s teachings."

Ling Feng nodded repeatedly, yet he secretly admired Yan Cangtian, who managed to fool the vice principal of the grand Heavenly Position Academy completely. Besides him, Yan Cangtian, probably no one else could.
