Chapter 315 News from Thousands of Miles Away

The spring breeze is coming again.

The spring thunder rolled away, and the continuous spring rain also passed quietly.

The flowers are in full bloom!

It’s April in this world, and all the beauty is gone.

Qingcheng, Wutong Academy.

Among the tall trees, the sound of cicadas filled my ears at noon, the chirping of birds could be heard, and even the sound of reading was drowned out.

At the back of the academy, in a small courtyard, two very gentle-looking women, Su Qingyue and Chen Suming, gathered around a stone table, discussing from time to time while pointing to a book on the table.

After a while, the cicadas outside stopped. The weak Su Qingyue suddenly stopped talking, looked up at the bright sunshine, sighed suddenly and said: "Sister Su Ming, has Aunt Ying mentioned Chu Tang's story to you?" News? It seems that there has been no news from him for more than half a year."

When he heard the word "Chu Tang", Chen Suming was slightly distracted, and then he said jokingly: "What, Qingyue, do you miss Squad Leader Chu again?"

Su Qingyue's ears turned red, she patted Chen Suming's arm and said angrily: "What are you talking about! I'm just curious!"

Chen Suming smiled and said, "If you are curious, you can ask Dean Tao directly!"

Su Qingyue refused: "I'm not here to see you sister practicing martial arts with Aunt Ying. You two are in constant contact, so it's more convenient to ask you!"

Chen Suming shook his head lightly and said in an incomprehensible tone: "Like you, I only know that he went to the South China Sea with others half a year ago. Since then, there has been no news, and even Dean Tao said he did not know his whereabouts."

Su Qingyue was a little nervous: "Will something happen in the South China Sea?"

Chen Suming shook his head: "No way, no way! Dean Tao said that there are rumors from the Yiyi Guards that Captain Chu went to the South China Sea with a master from the Eighth Realm. He is protected by the people from the Eighth Realm and is absolutely safe."

Su Qingyue sighed softly after hearing this: "It is better for you martial arts practitioners to be able to travel around the world and go wherever you want. Unlike me who was born with Yin veins and cannot practice martial arts, I am no different from a useless person."

Chen Suming quickly comforted and said: "Qingyue, the dean is already thinking of a way for you. She said that she will have a clue soon, and by then she will be able to cure your body and allow you to practice martial arts."

Su Qingyue was not optimistic. She forced a smile and asked, "Sister Su Ming, how are you doing with your martial arts practice now?"

"Me?" Chen Suming's face flushed with excitement and he said with a smile, "Everything is going according to plan, thanks to Dean Tao's cultivation!"

"That's because you are talented and hardworking enough. It has nothing to do with me!" Suddenly, a clear voice sounded behind the two of them.

Hearing this familiar voice, Su Qingyue and Chen Suming immediately stood up and said hello:

"Aunt Ying!"

"Dean!"

The two turned around, and it was Tao Ying, the dean of Wutong Academy!

She is still dressed in white clothes, dressed like a heroine in the arena, and has a heroic appearance, but the bookish look on her face makes her a little softer.

"Aunt Ying, why are you here?" Su Qingyue asked.

Tao Ying's handsome face showed a heroic smile: "Why, can't I come? This is my backyard! If I didn't come, I really wouldn't know that you two harem women are actually discussing a man!"

Su Qingyue's face turned red and she stamped her feet and said, "Aunt Ying, what are you talking about! We are obviously discussing whether you are okay or not!"

Tao Ying laughed and said, "Maybe I'm just an extra, right?"

Su Qingyue quickly pointed at Chen Suming and said, "You clearly heard Sister Suming talking about you just now!"

Tao Ying was really afraid that Su Qingyue would become anxious, so he quickly admitted his mistake, and after calming down Xiao Nizi's mood, he turned to Chen Suming, who had a respectful look on his face, and said, "Su Ming, I was not being modest just now. You are practicing martial arts now." Success is indeed due to your hard work. In fact, I didn’t expect you to be able to practice Qi at your age!"

Yes, today's Chen Suming is no longer the weak and powerless official lady!

She has successfully accumulated energy and become a true warrior.

Although he only has one realm of cultivation, cultivating inner energy in his body can be regarded as crossing many thresholds that ordinary people cannot set foot on.

Tao Ying lamented that Chen Suming had already passed the best period of practicing martial arts. He only came into contact with martial arts when he was 17 or 18 years old, but it only took him half a year to develop his inner energy!

This speed is neither fast nor slow, but for an "elderly schoolchild", it is extremely rare.

"Dean, you have taught me wholeheartedly and laid the foundation for me. That's why I am what I am today. Suming will never forget your great kindness!" Chen Suming said excitedly.

Tao Ying waved her hand and said: "That's the martial arts Chu Tang gave you. I'm just teaching it on your behalf. What does it have to do with me? I really want to thank you. That's also Chu Tang's contribution!"

When Chu Tang was mentioned, Chen Suming and Su Qingyue both raised their heads and looked at Tao Ying eagerly, hoping to hear some good news from her.

Tao Ying slapped her forehead and shouted: "Please don't ask! In the past six months, my ears have developed calluses since you asked!"

Both women lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Tao Ying added: "Su Ming, how is your brother's martial arts practice?"

Chen Suming felt a little sad and said: "Back to the dean, it's still the same."

Tao Ying frowned and was about to speak bluntly. Seeing Chen Suming's sad face, she couldn't help but sighed and comforted him: "Su Ming, your brother is still young. Some things cannot be rushed."

Chen Suming hummed and smiled extremely bitterly.

Ever since she and her brother found Tao Ying, told them about their deal with Chu Tang, and asked Tao Ying to teach them martial arts, they thought that her brother was young and was still in the best period of practicing martial arts and could practice it in the hall, but as she got older, There shouldn't be anything that can be accomplished by practicing.

I didn’t expect it to be quite the opposite!

Tao Ying first taught her younger brother the "Natural Heart Sutra", but the latter spent three or four months without feeling the breath in his body.

In desperation, Tao Ying taught him the "Nine Yin Manual" instead. As a result, two or three months later, his brother was still the same as an ordinary person!

Half a year was wasted like this.

Chen Suming has vaguely realized that her brother may be the legendary person without any martial arts qualifications, and it is difficult to succeed no matter how hard he practices.

As for her, as soon as she started practicing the "Nine Yin Manual", starting from the Bone Forging chapter, she sorted out her physique, and in less than three months, she developed a trace of inner energy.

Now, the Nine Yin True Qi in her body has gradually grown stronger, her meridians and Dantian have been changed, and her realm has been completely consolidated.

After gaining inner energy, Tao Ying began to teach her the "Lingbo Weibu". Having been exposed to the knowledge of Zhouyi since she was a child, she learned it without any hindrance and understood it thoroughly. Now this movement is suitable for beginners.

Tao Ying also told her that she would start learning the "Nine Swords of Dugu" when her cultivation became more advanced. If she could still master it, she would soon have the capital to fight against the enemy.

In other words, her younger brother, who she had high hopes for, failed to learn martial arts, and she, an older young man, took the lead!

This is really a deliberate attempt to plant flowers without blooming, but an unintentional planting of willows and willows to create shade!

However, if possible, Chen Suming would rather exchange qualifications with his younger brother and hope he can succeed!

Unfortunately, many things are not subject to human will, so she can only accept this result.

"Su Ming..." Tao Ying saw Chen Suming's gloomy expression. After thinking for a while, he made a decision, "I'll teach your brother "The Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" in a while and see if there is any progress."

Chen Suming became hopeful: "Does the dean think Xiaoliang is suitable for practicing external martial arts?"

She is no longer a novice in martial arts, and she knows all the basic common sense of martial arts.

Tao Ying sighed: "Su Ming, your brother's martial arts qualifications are indeed not high, and his understanding is very low. The more advanced the martial arts, the harder it is for him to learn. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are from the outside to the inside. When you practice them to a great level, you can advance both the inside and the outside. The palms are strong." Fierce, rare in the world, if you really succeed, you will be a master. However, I can only say that I will try my best, and I cannot guarantee any results. If it doesn't work, try all the martial arts left by Chu Tang!"

Chen Suming was extremely grateful: "Let's treat a dead horse as a living doctor! My sister and brother will never forget the dean's great kindness!"

Tao Ying shook her head: "Don't get excited yet. I can only say that I hope there will be a good result."

Chen Suming thanked him again and saw a trace of sadness in Tao Ying's eyes, so he couldn't help but ask: "Dean, Nan Qinghou is still making things difficult for the academy?"

Upon hearing the words "Nan Qinghou", Tao Ying's face surged with annoyance, and he sneered: "That's all he can do!"

It is said that the past six months have not been easy for Wutong Academy.

Since Chu Tang escaped from the siege of Nan Qinghou and Luoshen Valley, Nan Qinghou, who returned to Qingcheng, began to settle old scores and constantly target people related to Chu Tang.

In Qingcheng, Chu Tang had the deepest relationship with Wutong Academy, and Tao Ying even helped him several times.

As a result, Tao Ying and Wutong Academy became the punching bags for Wang Yang, the Marquis of Nanqing.

As a marquis, he still has many ways to deal with an academy right under his nose.

Whether it was the imperial court, the Qingcheng Yamen, or the martial arts forces, under the arrangement of Nan Qinghou, they began to put pressure on Wutong Academy.

First of all, Wutong Academy lacked a lot of support from the court and yamen.

Such a large academy, among other things, has extremely huge expenses. Without official support, life has become tense.

Secondly, from time to time, thieves break into the academy and commit robberies!

In the past six months, Tao Ying has defeated countless enemies.

Finally, and most importantly, the academy began to lose disciples!

Wutong Academy was originally one of the best cradle for training officials in Liangzhou. Not only the wealthy families in Qingcheng sent their children to study here, but also people from counties outside Qingcheng were eager to squeeze in.

However, after Nanqing Hou blatantly started targeting the academy, many families began to find various reasons to let their children leave the academy, whether they were afraid of the power of the marquis or wise to protect themselves.

Most of the students who are still studying in academies come from poor families or small families, so they are worried about talent gaps.

If an academy wants to operate and prosper in the long term, the most serious way is to have a steady stream of high-quality students join it.

Nowadays, Wutong Academy has lost many students due to Nan Qinghou's lustful power. This is destroying the foundation of the academy.

Faced with this situation, Tao Ying tried her best, but to no avail.

Especially after the Valley Master of Luoshen Valley broke through the Nine Realms in one fell swoop, Wang Yang, the younger brother of the Valley Master, completely gained momentum. Even the imperial court had to be wary of them, and their support for Wutong Academy became even less.

This also made Tao Ying completely realize that it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. Only when you are strong, others will not dare to mess around.

If she was also in the ninth realm, let alone a mere Marquis Nanqing, even Luoshen Valley would have to sell her face. How could she be in the current situation!

Realizing this, Tao Ying spent much less time running the academy these days, and spent most of his energy on cultivation.

During this period, while teaching Chen Suming's siblings, she also straightened out the martial arts skills left by Chu Tang.

After the screening, Tao Ying began to study the "Natural Heart Sutra" in depth and verified it with his own martial arts, and gained a lot.

Now that she has completed the six realms, she vaguely feels that she is about to advance to the upper three realms!

The Seventh Realm is here, is the Eighth Realm still far away?

After the eight realms, there are the nine realms...

In short, Tao Ying, who was originally a martial arts fanatic, is now even crazier when practicing martial arts. She wants to break through to the ultimate master in one go and make everyone who underestimates her pay the price.

Taking a breath, Tao Ying came back from her thoughts and asked Chen Suming with concern: "Suming, your brother and sister are going to the academy to study martial arts at this time. Does your brother-in-law's family have any objections?"

Chen Suming smiled bitterly, how could he have no objection?

Now even the imperial court is afraid of offending the Nanqinghou siblings, so how can Liangzhou Biejia Mansion not be afraid?

Not to mention her brother-in-law's family, even her sister advised her to sever ties with Wutong Academy and stop interacting with them.

But Chen Suming stubbornly refused. She believed that her strength was her capital. After all, her sister married into another family and could not protect their Chen family for the rest of their lives!

For this reason, Chen Suming and his younger brother moved out of his sister's house a while ago and moved into Wutong Academy, completely following Tao Ying's path.

Tao Ying admired the determination and courage of this weak woman. She was indeed a strange woman who could lead her brother into exile thousands of miles without any force!

Tao Ying naturally took it to heart that people supported her in this way. She not only worked hard to teach her siblings martial arts, but she also cared deeply about their living conditions.

No, in the past six months, she has allowed Su Qingyue and Chen Suming to spend more time together, and the two of them have now become best friends who talk about everything.

"Dean, I don't care what others say. I only know that the dean treats us sincerely. This is much better than many people! Xiaoliang and I will serve the dean as our teachers for the rest of our lives!" Chen Suming once again expressed his determination. .

Tao Ying's eyes showed a complicated look, and she patted the back of Chen Suming's hand gently, smiling bitterly and saying nothing.

If it were normal, she would take the two of them as her disciples as she valued her feelings, but now the academy is in a difficult situation, and she is even more in trouble. If she takes them as her disciples, she will be harming them!

She, Tao Ying, disdains the idea of ​​coercing others with favors!

With a long sigh, Tao Ying looked at the two of them and said, "That's it! I really don't want to tell you, so I'll tell you now. In fact, I just received news related to Chu Tang."

"Ah?" the two women exclaimed.

"Aunt Ying..." "Dean..."

Tao Ying smiled bitterly and said: "It's just the news from the Jianyi Guards. They haven't verified it yet. It is said that a young master has made many attacks in Xuzhou and killed many people. And he carries many magic weapons. One of them looks like a sword."

Like a knife or a sword?

Chen Suming and Su Qingyue looked at each other——

Ande Yitian Sword, cross the sea and kill the long whale!

It is Chu Tang’s iconic magic weapon!

What they were wondering was, why did this man escape to Xuzhou?

Liangzhou and Xuzhou are thousands of miles apart! (End of chapter)
